In an uninteresting game, marked
by the erratic work of the local team,
the Glenwood Springs ball players
yesterday afternoon defeated the Col

SAW
THE TRIAL

Over one hundred fruit grow
ers gathered last night at the
Simmons orchard in the Pear
Park district to witness a prac-
tical and complete demonstra-
tion of the virtues of the coal
pot made, perfected and patent
ed by Messis. j. c. Plank and
II. +. Fulghrum of Grand juno
ton, a smudge pot that is at
tracing widespread attention,
and is beyond II doubt great
success.
The demonstration had not been
advertised; consequently, the big
crowd that gathered was somewhat
of surprise, and the interest mani
tested and the enthusiasm displayed
were most marked.
Twenty-Five of the coal pots were
lighted and the growers watched
them burn for several hours. Ev-
erybody was convinced of the prac-
ticability and success of this smudge
pot which local men, endeavoring to
secure the best means of saving the
Grand valley orchards from frost
damage, have perfected.
Scores of growers throughout the
valley have examined these locally
jority of these growers have pro
nounced them practical and spien-
didly adapted for nsa in this valley
where coal is so plentiful.
1t is believed by many that the
grower will find the burning of coal
more economical, less troublesome
and more satisfactory in this valley
than the burning of oil. The cost
of this system will be as low (or
lower) as that of any other practical
smudging system.
Messrs. Plank and Fulghrum have
been working quietly and without
any blowing of trumpsts. They are
not seeking any big financial gain;
but are seeking 20 assist in the great
work of finding the best and cheap
est method of preventing further
damage to the fruit crops of the val
ley from frost. Several private and
public demonstrations of the new
coal pot have been given, and all
have proven highly gratifying and
successful
1t was demonstrated lass night
that the new coal pots give out
wonderful amout of heat in quick
time and burn for hours without be-
ing replenished.
The gentlemen have also perfect
ed new oil pot, and this pot along
with the California oil pot was given
a demonstration last night.
Fruit growers all over the valley
seem anxious to see the Plank coal
pot working. By request of the
Palisade growers a demonstration
will be given there on the night of
June Is.

WATSON SCORES BRYAN.
Declares in Savannah Speech Nebras-
kan Is RENEGADE

kan Is a Renegade.
Savannah, Ga, July 31.-Crowds
filled the Savannah theater to over
flowing to hear Thomas E. Watson
Thursday night.
A brass band and a committee of
local populists met the candidate at
the depot, and he was compelled to
hold a reception until he went to
the theater.
His speech was denunciatiOn of
Bryan and a plea that the solid south
be broken He declared that Taft,
following Roosevelts policies, would
do more for the south than Bryan.
Mr.. Watson declared that Bryan is
a deserter from democratic principles
branded him as a renegade, and de-
clared that the democratic platform is
but a job lot of stuff designed to catch
votes, and having no other purpose in
view but to place Bryan in the white
house.
He predicted Bryan's certain defeat,
and pleaded for a rift in the solid
south in order that this section of
the country may secure political inde-
pendence. He scored Bryan for mis-
play for negro votes, charging him
with trampling upon southern feelings
and southern pride.
