Copyright, 1905 by T. c. McClure.I
For the last two weeks of the recent
campaign Mrs. Bowser had a careful
eye on Mr. Bowser in the direction of
politics. She did not fail to note that
as the campaign drew toward its close
he was uneasy and evinced a dis
position to mix in politics. He read
political articles, suspicious men called
to see him in the evening, and on sew
eral occasions she heard him muttering
to himself, as if getting off a speech. 1t
was policy for her to say nothing and
continue to watch.
When Mr. Bowser came home from
the office the other evening Mrs. Bow
ser knew that some sort of climax
had come. She expected to hear him
say that he had engaged to address a
great mass meeting Of electors. but he
didn't. He was noucommunicatiye and

cade, notwi thstanding the incredi-
bly, swift occupation of a vacant
continent by a movement of popu-
lation westward. The easterly
position of the center of popula-
tion is in part due to the fact
that the eastern part of the CONT
nent was first settled and was set
tied from the east. The easterly po-
sition of the center of population is
also due to the more evenly distrib-
uted and more abundant resources
of the eastern half of the United
States.
1t should not be forgotten that
the geographical center of the
United States lies some hundreds
of miles west of the Mississippi
river. The eastern half of the
country, therefore, embraces the
Atlantic lowlands, the prairies and
the forests and minerals of the
Appalachian mountains and Ap-
palachian pl t eaux. Over
against these are. the arid and
mountainous areas of the west,
Certain areas will be reclaimed

pected to remain permanently to

REBUILD
VERY SOON

1t was o'clock this morning be-
fore the flames of the big fire that
completely wiped out the Gibson
Lumber Company's plant and the
plant of the Montrose Fruit Growers
Association at Montrose died out.
All night long the fire was carefully
watched by the firemen. 1t took the
big stacks of lumber and the we'll
filled bins of coal a long time to burn
out.
President Gibson of the Gibson
Lumber Company. who has been in
Grand Junction for several days, left
this morning for Montrose. 1t is un-
derstood that the Gibson people will
rebuild their Montrose plant at once.
Manager Kyle of the Montrose
Fruit Growers Association, is expect
ed to reach Montrose from trip to
eastern and southern fruit markets
today The association will at once
secure temporary headquarters and
new supplies for the growers will be
rushed in as rapidly as possible to
replace those destroyed.
The work of cleaning up the burnt
district will start at once.
Later reports do not change the
estimate of the loss placed yesterday
at $4,000.

AS a result of the explosion of
tank of gasoline, which was stand
ing in the front part of the billiard.
pool and bowling room operated by
o. p. MaXfeld, Montrose was called
upon last night about 8 O'Clock to
suffer another horror in addition to
the $4,000 fire which visited the
city vest arday, as detailed by The
Sentinel last night.
The explosion badly wrecked the
building, threw several persons quite
n distance, painfully but not danger
ously injuring them, and shattering
windows in buildings far distant from
the scene of the explosion.
The explosion caused a great deal
of excitement and for a short time
some people believed that the build
ing had been wrecked by bomb
thrown by criminals: but within a
short time after the frightful acci-
dent it was ascertained that the gas
oline tank was the cause of the ac-
cident
The wrecked building is the prop
erty of b. A. Dennston.
The damage as result of the eX-
plosion will amount to several thou
sand dollars.
At the time of the explosion three
men were standing in the front part
of the building-Mr. MaXield; his
nephew, Harry Corlett, and w. A.
Yerian, salesman for a cigar house
in Denver. In the back of the build
ing playing pool were several other
men.
In the front part of the building
Mr.. Maxheld had tank holding
about two gallons of gasoline, set
ting on the floor. This gasoline was
so placed in the tank that it was un-
der pressure of 3 pounds. 1t was
used in perfecting the lighting sys-
tenn employed in the building.
1t seems that there was small
leak in the bottom of the tank, and
some of the gasoline. forced by the
high pressure. had slowly ooZed out
and had saturated the flooring, al

front snow cases. His nephew was
standing near him. They were talk

other side of the counter. Young
Carlott lighted his cigar and appar

match to the floor. A few second:
later terrific explosion occurred.

They feel that this work will not only
add to their own business, but be of
great advantage to every man who
has property for sale.
1t is but natural that competition
should be strong between men en-
gagged in this line of business, as well
as in others, and it frequently hap
pens that some abuses grow out of
this condition that are of no advant-
age. if not hurtful, to the dealer. the
seller and the buyer The correction
of these abuses is another object of
the exchange, 80 that the utmost
confidence may prevail among these
three classes
The directors will hold monthly
meetings, and, while the detailed
business of the exchange will re-
ceive its share of attention, every
project and enterprise that looks to
the upbuilding of the valley will re-
ceive the hearty, active support of
the organization. 1t will be one more
booster for the valley, and one that
will spend money and labor along
the most practical and feasible lines.

lifted up and torn to pieces. Objects
were hurled with hard force against
the ceiling. The windows in the
front of the store were shattered and
the frames twisted. The show cases
were smashed and the stock hurled
about the room.
Mr.. Maxfield was knocked down, as
was Yarman; but young Carlott was
not floored. Yarman finally regained
his feet, and in the darkness made

wrecked building, but not until he
had sustained many painful cuts and
bruises.
Mr.. Maxfield was painfully bruised
but was not seriously hurt.
Young Carlott was not hurt.
Maxfields eyebrows were burned
off and his hair was also badly
burned.
The men who were in the back of
the building were unhurt, but were
badly shocked.
A boy who was passing along in
front of the building at the time of
the explosion was hurled into the
street. Several other persons pass
ing near the building were badly
shocked.
Windows in buildings block dis
tant were shattered. Several resi-
dences in the neighborhood were
shaken up.
Fire broke out in the wrecked
building, but the flames were quick
ly eXtinguished.
1t is believed that the burnt end
of the match dropped by one of the
men fell on floor plank that was
saturated with gasoline, and immed-
lately wiry flame was taken to the
tank along the plank and the eX-
plosion followed.
Scores of people were returning 6
from the scene of the big fire when
the explosion occurred, and natural
! ly the explosion set the people wild
with excitement; and the fire fight
ers. although weary with their long
hours of heroic work, turned their at
tention to the latest disaster.
Yesterday was certainly an un-
lucky day for Montrose.
