STANDARD GAUGE NEEDED.

The hay, grain and root crops will
be very abundant this season, and
the fruit gives promise of the great
est crop ever produced on the west
ern slope. The hay crop of Gunni-
son county should reach 100000
tons. The county will shin $4,000
fat cattle. The western counties will
ship thousands of tons of fruit
The question is. Where will they
get cars? The d. C r. G.. cannot
furnish freight cars for the coming
crops. If they would put the stand
ard gauge through from Montrose to
Salida and buy few thousand more
freight cars, they could handle
good share of the increased freight.
Unless the railways increase their
rolling stock and build standard
gauge road, millions of dollars worth
of fruit and perishable goods must
be lost
The western slope people should
petition George Gould and the d. &
r. G. officials to change the narrow
to standard gauge from Montrose to
Salida, and provide 5000 more cars
Then We could look forward with
the hope of seeing the greatest crops
moved at the proper season that have
ever been produced in Colorado.
Ihe season is now so far advanced
the danger from frost is past and the
fruit crop will be the greatest ever
known, and the crops of hay, grain
and roots the finest ever produced
in the state.
If the d. & R. G. can prepare to
handle the coming enormous crop,
the returns will make the whole state
prosperous. The output of mineral
will be the heaviest ever produced in
any season. Prosperity is certain if
the railways will prepare to handle
the overproduction of everything

TRACK MEET
ON TODAY

This afternoon quite a large crowd
is out at the fair grounds enjoying
the dual track meet between the
Grand Junction high school and the
Teller Indian school boys.
The weather is fine for the meet,
and much enthusiasm has been
aroused over it, The boys on each
side are in fine condition and each
event was entered into with enthusi-
asm and vim.
regular track meet program was
carried out and every feature was in
teresting and lively.
Soon after the track meet opened
it was evident that the Grand juno
ton boys had the best of 1t. They
we're better trained, quicker and the
superior in many ways. The points
won soon far overbalanced in favor
of the high school team. Bunting,
Boyer, LeClere. Vorbeck and several
other high school boys made splen-
did records. while several of the In
dian boys made good showings.
The high school had an easy VIC
tory in several of the events. while
in others they had no easy work in
winning out.
The attendance today was not as
large as at the previous high school
track meet.

TO OBSERVE
THE WEEK

The Salvation Army is actively en-
gagged in preparing for its annual
week of self-denial which has now
become an established custom
throughout the world.
Last year the Army raised a
princely sum by this means, which
enabled it to pursue its missionary,
spiritual and social work with un-
interrupted success.
Few persons seem to realize what
a vast and worldwide movement this
has become. These modern crusad-
ers have now more than 1915 Of
ficers under their banner, working
in some 54 different countries and
colonies, and in their own energetic
way they are preaching the gospel to
the poor in about 80 different Ian
guages.
1t appears from their returns that
the following countries and colonies
have been invaded: Great Britain,
France, Sweden, Finland, Belgium,
Holland, Germany, Switzerland. Den
mark, Norway, Gibraltar, Italy, Ice
land, Malta, India, Ceylon, Java,
Cape Colony, Natal, Orange Free
State. Zululand, Mashonaland, Bech-
uanaland, Transvaal St. Helena, the
United States, Canada, Newfound-
land. Argentine, Uruguay. Bermuda.
Hawaii, Jamaica, British Guiana
Victoria. New South Wales. Queens
land South Australia, New Zealand,
Western Australia, Tasmania. Spe-
cial expeditions are expected for Chi
ma and the native population of
South Africa.
OF social institutions the Army has
now a vast network, numbering in
all about 7S6.
The Army will adopt some very
self-sacrificing measures in order to
raise the amount of money agreed
upon. Every member, as well as the
friends of the movement, is being
asked to abstain from any article of
food or clothing which may be con-
sidered in the least degree luxurious
or unnecessary, and many of the Of
ficers are even denying themselves of
that which many of us are apt to re-
gard as absolute necessities, in. Or
der that they may contribute some
thing to the common fund.
That the effort will meet with sue
cess goes without saying. and there
Is no doubt that the friends of the
movement recognizing the vast
amount of good already accomp-
lished. will not fail to afford their
practical recognition when the time
arrives, which is to be locally OBJ
served from May 3 to May 10.

JAKE BORAH AFTER BEAR.

Jake Borah, the famous Colorado

pack of bear hounds and about 20
head of saddle horses, bound for the
Pinon mesa country, whore he will
hunt bear this spring.
He expects to make his headquar-

FINE MOUNTAIN SHEEP
SURPRISED BY YOUTHS

Alva and Ollie Field, two Mont
rose boys. were treated to an unus-
ual sight last Sunday while on a fish
ing trip. They surprised five noun
tain sheep while the animals Were
feeding and got good look at them.
The sheep were seen in the canon
which leads from Bostwick park to
the Gunnison river. The sheep We're
only about 40 yards from the boys
when they took fright and scaled the
precipitous walls of the canon. The
boys said the sheep jumped up a
sheer cliff of at least feet in height
and bounded away up the sides of
the canon. All of the animals had
fine horns. The sheep appeared to
be in good condition and quite tame.
1t is quite unusual for the sheep
to be found so near the settlements.
and these were probably tempted
from their wild haunts in the hills
by the prospect of the juicy grass in
the canon.-Montrose Press.

FRUIT CROP DAMAGE
IN PLATEAU VALLEY

Telephone reports from various
portions of Plateau valley indicate
that most of the apricots and early
peaches were killed by the cold wave
which swept over the country the
first of the week. Some cherries
we're killed, but large part of the
buds were not yet enough advanced
to be killed. Some early apples were
nipped. but the crop of apples is
practically safe as yet. No report of
injury to berries has come in.
II no later frosts catch the fruit,
this valley will have a full crop of
apples and berries, and a partial crop
of cherries. plums and prunes,. and
some peaches.
Later.-A thorough examination
of six orchards near Collbran dis
closes the gratifying fact that, while
some buds are killed, there are
enough left for full crop, not only
of apples. but of cherries, peaches
and apricots.
The damage at Mesa is reported
20 be slightly greater; but Mesa will
still have very fair crop of all the
tree fruits If there are no later freez-
es.
Plateau valley fares better than
any part OF the western slope, unless
ii is a small area at Palisade.-To-

POSTMASTER PRICE SAYS

To the Public:

of new carrier route (No, Sd, it

TAFT AND SHERMAN.

The Republican party in ma
tional convention assembled, has
put before the country a ticket
that is well balanced. and that de-
serves the support of every old
time Republican and every first
voter who is now to cast his first
ballot. Everybody knows who big
Bill Taft is, and what positions
he has held. and how well he has
administered all of them. No
candidate in many years has had
such a training for the highest
position within the gift of the
people. On the federal bench. in
the office of the solicitor general,
as governor of the PHILIPPINES. as
secretary of war, Mr.. Taft has
shown himself equal and more
than equal to every responsibility
that has been put upon him. His
Judicial mind, his high courage,
his remarkable common sense, his
gift of humor. his forbearance and
tact, his marvellous power of dis
patching business, his thorough
understanding of our government
in all its parts. fit him pre-emi-
nently for the office of chief magis-
trate
In naming as the running mate
of Mr. Taft one of the most promi-
nent of New York's public men,
the convention followed an old
precedent. AS Il piece of politics.
the party has always had a prefer
ence for carrying the vote of New
York state and of those states con-
tiguous to it. Mr.. James S. Sher-
man has been in congress nearly
twenty years: he has worked up to
a high position in the councils of
the national Legislature. He has
the respect and confidence of his
colleagues and of the solid men
generally. He will make an ex-
ceilent presiding officer for the
senate; and he is big enough to be
president if the accidents of fate
should call him to that position.

The County Normal.

Sanford, Colo. June 20. l9US.
To Teachers and to Those Who
Expect to be Teachers
This season the County Summer
Normal will be held at La lara,
beginning on Monday, July Is, and
extending for term of four weeks.
Teachers who are only begin
ming, or who have but recently
begun, their experience will find
the County Normal material
help; those who have been in
school work for some time will
appreciate an opportunity to ex-
change ideas one with another and
to enjoy an educational atmosphere
and vacation at the same time.
Prof. w. T. Miller, superintend-
ent of the Fort Collins schools,
will again be with us as conductor,
and Prof. Horace Fl. Hedstrom,
principal of the Antonito school,
will assist as instructor. Mr., Mil
Ter is so well known to the teachers
of the county that he needs no
word of comment: Mr. Hedstrom
is teacher of pleasing personality
and successful experience: it may
be noted that he is graduate of
our own State Normal School.
The Normal faculty, though. small
in numbers, is strong in power of
instruction.
Those attending, it is assured,
will find La Jara congenial place
for the Normal and every possible
courtesy will be extended.
The county commissioners have
made an appropriation which will
cover considerably more than half
the expense, and tuition of 81
for the four weeks will be paid by
each of those attending to cover
the remaining expense Should
the attendance be more than 20,
part of the tuition can no doubt
be refunded to the. teachers at the
close of the term, when all ex.
penses have been determined.

the Normal to communicate with
me. f.. A. NELSON.

THE PLATFORM.

The one thing over which there
was long discussion and even con
troversy at Chicago was the plat
form. The nomination of Taft
was inevitable: the vice presidency
WAS conceded to New York if that
state could get together cordially
in behalf of candidate: but the
platform. everybody wanted d-and
got ia hand in. The result is, in
some respects, what might have
been expected: the platform is
long, it is not stated as effectively
rs perhaps it might have been by
one person, instead of being ham
merel out by a good many, as the
result of conferences and discus
sions: but it sets forth the priuci-
pies of the party unequivocally,
and outlines clearly the record of
the party on which it asks again
for the suffrages of the people.
As was to have been expected,
the platform begins with hearty
appreciation of the work of the
President and cordial recognition
of his leadership. 1t mentions
most of the measures which have
been passed. and approves the
work that has been done during
his term of office. Then it goes on
to outline what, in the opinion of
the party. still needs doing Here
is where the rub came. When the
platform is read with care it shows
that the party is still bound to be
progressive. but that it is not de-
voted to any wild and visionary
schemes, and will command the
confidence and the votes of the
conservative element as opposed to
Mr.. Bryan and his theories.
The platform does not neglect
to point out that if the majority of
the people want the Roosevelt
policies continued, and an advance
made in the regulation and control
of corporations and in tariff re-
vision and the establishment of a
