The number of homeseekers in
Colorado steadily increases, both
among those seeking country homes
and those desiring to settle ia good
towns. The good, rich lands of
America are steadily enhancing in
value. and more and more people are
seeking good homes upon the land.
Among all the places where homes
can be had. there are none
better and which offer more thai
are offered by the great Grand
Valley in Colorado Little
Empire" whose capital Is the growing
and thriving City of Grand Junction.
Lands in the Grand Valley are high

mind that many Of them are the IA
nous fruit lands that produce fruits
Of unexcelled flavor and color, which
finds ready market all over America
and even Europe, they do not seem
so high. Many wonderful stories
are told,-and proyen,-of the mar
velous profits made from Grand Val
ley orchards; but leaving aside all
exceptional cases. we believe it can
be stated as a proven fact that the
properly located and well cared for
orchards of this region can be count
ed upon, when in fun bearing. to re-.
turn an average net annual revenue
of $500 per acre. Add to this spleh-
did profit the advantages of living In
one of the best climates of America
IN a closely settled region that has
none Of the loneliness and isolation
of the coultry. among intelligent, re-
fined and progressive people, and one
will appreciate that to own an or
chard in the Grand Valley is one of
the best, as well as one of the surest
completeness that one may have.
And the Grand Valley is deliver
ing the goods" Orcbarding, beet
growing. alfalfa growing, truck gar
dening and general farming are In
no sense experimental in this region.
The country has been settled since
1881, and intensified farming and
fruit raising have been steadily de-
yeloped since that time. All the. re-
sources of the region have been by
no means discovered or proven, but
enough has been discovered to dem

That represents part of the support

JUNCTION.
This city Is located at the conflu

Western Slope of Colorado, and is
the natural metropolis and the
gate city of reglon as large as
England. 1t is growing rapidly,
steadily and stolldly. but in no sense
has a boom. and in fact the growth
of the town is not up to the growth
of the country surrounding 1t.
Splendid investments of all kinds
ranging from one thousand 10 one
million dollars, can be made in the
Grand Valley and III Grand juno
tion. There is need for still more
farmers and fruit growers in the val

to sell and to rent In the town, but
there is also need for large amounts
of capital to be invested in suburb

FARMER NOT TO BE TRAPPED
This One Was Taking No Chances
on a Possible $500 Fine.

The government weather bureau
supplies daily thermometer readings,
quantity OF rainfall and the forecast
for the ensuing "A hours to farmers
along rural routes who apply for tehm.
The data are stamped with rubber
type upon one of the franked govern
ment cards and dropped in the rural
mail box by the rural carriers each
day.
On a western route a farmer had
applied for the forecasts, and they
were dropped regularly in his mail
box each morning, but he failed to
take them out and the accumulation
of cards became so great it nearly
filled the box.
An inspector, going over the route,
dropped in at the farmhouse.
why don't you make use Of the
weather forecasts?" he inquired.
Didn't you apply for them?"
For reply the patron of the rural
route led him out to the mail box
and put his finger on the corner Of one
Of the cards, where was printed:

When the year 1908 closes vinita people
can look around and see that a good deal
of street paving and sidewalk building has
been done, in spite of continued opposi-
tion and much noisy knocking. There are
those in Vinita who win be compelled to
drive over paved streets and walk over
granitoid sidewalks and with the thought
and the definite knowledge that they OPP
posed it all. The man returning to town
after an absence Of one year will be forced
to conclude that much has been accom-
pIished and that the old town looks differ
ent and better.

Good in Either Event.

Gen. Dabney H. Maury tells in his
"Recollections of Virginian" Of an
old lady in Fredericksburg who was
reduced to taking in boarders in order
to make both ends meet. On one oc-
casion of peculiar stress, the larder
was so empty that the good lady took
to her bed and summoned her servant

was the way it panned out in the differ

material. Get what the contract calls for
