TALKS ABOUT COTTON
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from Page One.) that city offering to loan money on cotton, $40 per bale, at eight and six per cent. interest. If any cotton factor or banker of my home city made such an offer I received no notice of it, nor have 1 heard of it from any au thentic source.
 A number of local banks throughout the state have been very friendly to the holding of cotton. They exhausted their resources; they did all they could for our people. As rule the credit merchants have been our friends. They carried their debtors as long as it was possible for them to do so. Very few foreclosed, even on mortgages. And had it not been for these friendly country banks and ere dit merchants, and our Memphis friends, we would have had no relief. It is not our purpose to take from home enterprises that which is due them. But it is our purpose to protect our people and get what they want though we have to go from home to do it.
 Memphis will finance all Far. CTS Union cotton consigned to her port, no matter the number of bales. If any home city wants this cotton, let her offer an in ducement to get it. If it is diverted from it's true source, the Farmers Union should not be held responsible for it.
 It is true that the financiers of Memphis will advance to the Farmers Union of Arkansas S2,500,O00 on cotton. '

 The night Mir. - proposed, we were sitting out in the yard on a settee, and just as he had finished the fire whistle began to blow and the flames began to shoot up from the Ozan mill, illu- minating the sky and neighbor- hood until it was almost as light as day.

To make saw logs into lumber is a business, but to make boys into drunkards is a crime.
 This being true the great commonwealth of Arkansas, as well as the nation, is one of the most gigantic criminals of the age, in that it permits men of good, moral character @ for the sake of a few paltry dollars, that do not by one-twentieth cover the cost of courts, jailS, penintenti- aries, aims houses, schools of reform, homes of feeble minded children, made so by drinking parents, etc, to thus convert our boys-yea andthousands of girls, too, into the above class of citi- zens, namely-drunkards.

The answers comes ringing clear and true, "Of a bright American boy, a boy capable of earning wages and adding to the wealth of the home and country" |" What are you worth now?' The answer, Nothing.

THRILLING RIDE
IN UPPER VALLEY
From Seat in David Carks Immense RED Devil !,
Sentinel Editor Saw the Blooming
Orchards Fly Pass

1t was big red devil-not the
red devil of fabled story of child
hood days, that scared US at times
out of a years growth; but a big
red devil automobile that took a rep
resentative of The Sentinel on ride
through the orchard country from
this city to Palisade and return yes
terday afternoon.
Once upon time, four or five
years ago, the saroe representative
took ride with TIE same gentlemen
In an auto to Fruita and the country
thereabouts. 1t was most eventful
ride and the story was put into print
and some people laugh to this day of
the pictured events OF that ride.
1t was the first auto that was
brought to this city and was owned
by Mr.. David Clark, the gentleman
who was the host in yesterdays ride.
He was not then an amateur chauf-
fer; he is less 30 today. He is not
ed throughout the state as one of
the most daring and intrepid, yet
safe drivers of an auto in the state
He has taken pretended chauffer's
drives in Denver time and again on
ly to bring them back to acknowl-
edge that they knew nothing of how
to drive a motor car.
At the earnest solicitation of the
Sentinel representative yesterday Mr..
Clark did not leave his auto out. but
drove along at comfortable gait,
such as middle-aged gentleman
might demand to be driven. But all
the way there was an instructive feel
ing in the breast of the guest of Mr..
Clark that before he got home he
would know something about the
racing qualities of that Apperson red
devil being driven by Mr.. Clark. His
misgivings were more than realized.
The nose of the big machine had
hardly been turned toward the
junction when Mr.. Clark laconically
observed that he would see If the

any road and will be one of the first
to continue its policy OF expansion.
THE hardest blow that our rail-
road has felt was the closing of the
mines and smelters In Utah The in
dications are that these industries
will reopen, and, of course, our road
will be materially benefited there
by. / have just returned from a trip
to Tintic, and l believe that the op-
orators in that district will be ready
to resume shipments on a large
scale as soon as the smelters reopen.
There Is any amount OF ore in sight,
and, If the shippers are assured that
the price of metals will not go any
lower than at present, the shipments
will be resumed.
Denver is recovering rapidly
from the dull times. There is a great
deal of new building in progress and
the panic is apparently forgotten.
The all-absorbing topic of public in
terest Is the coming national demo-
cratic convention. The opinion pre-
walls in Denver that Mr.. Bryan will
be nominated on the first ballot as
the democratic candidate for presi-
II Bryan is defeated this fall 1t seems
to be the impression that John A.
Johnson will be the party's candi-
date in 1912. although at present he
is not sufficiently known to cause
his candidacy to meet with enough
favor to nominate him."

RIO GRANDE OFFICIAL TALKS
OF THE STRENUOUS TIMES

An interesting interview was CIV
en- out in Salt Lake City yesterday by
Dan Hickey of Denver, the chief
draughtsman of the engineering de-
partmcnt of the Denver & Rio
Grandc. He said in part:
There is no denying that the f.
nancial troubles were more severe
on the railroads than on any other
industry. The railroads did not an
ticipate the trouble and were expend-
ing all their money for improve
ments. For this reason when the
blow came they were i'll prepared to
meet 1t. For several months all of
the roads have been curtailing ex-
penses In order that the roads might
pay the operating expenses and keep
solvent. Everything was done that
could be done in this direction.
Railroad men at present are of
the opinion that the worst has past.
and the engineering departments of
the big roads are going ahead with
plans for extensive improvements.

DIR. Gasho, who was on last night
elected captain, is a veteran of the
Spanish American war and is one of
the best posted men in military tao

machinery was in good trim.
There is fine stretch of road for
four or five miles out-o Palisade, the
one that leads down through the
Oldham bottoms. How many min
utes it took that Apperson machine
to travel that distance no one will
ever know; but the writer will make
Mr.. Clark sign a contract never to
do SO again. at least when the pres
ent writer rides with him. Fences,
houses, barns and orchards were one
jumbled mass, as glimpses were
caught of the flying scenery. 1t was
ride of lifetime, and 1t ended
all right.
A great machine and a great driv-
er Is the only comment to be made
of the trip.
However. it was the orchards that
We started to write about; but the
other portion of the trip being so
thrilling, We almost forgot the sub
ject upon which we were basing our
story.
They (the orchards) are beauti-
full. Never have they presented
more charming vista to the eye, as
riding along mile after mile of beau
tiful orchard land in the fulness of
development and care are seen.
Many of the trees are in bloom.
and many are Just ready to burst
forth in all the glorious colors of
their blossoming.
1t is picture no artist can repro
duce, and must be seen to be really
and fully appreciated. No one will
ever be able to tell the great story
of these wonderful orchards, their
fruitfulness and their wonderful
money-earning capacity.
The day was glorious, and If any
one wants to really enjoy a great
picture, we urge them to take a ride
through the orchards of the valley
now.
