County Line Surrey Finished.

The Mesa and Delta counties line
survey party in charge of Engineer
Whinnerah arrived in Grand Junction
this afternoon returning from the line
of work.
The following men constituted the
personel of the exhibition:
Richard Whinnerah, deputy state en-
gineer; Charles W. Haskell, Mesa coun-
ty engineer; Guy N. Harcourt, fagman;
Frank j. Reid, cornerman; Henry Wal
Ter, hind chairman; w. S. Waller, front
chairman; w. A. Besch, axeman, ]. F.
Brink. axeman, o. E. johnson. cook :;
c. E. Fulton, horseman; VIM. Van Pelt;
packer; Walter Farmer, supply master.
The party first made a preliminary
trip from Dominguez to the southwest
horn of Grand Mesa where the south
west corner was set up by State Engi-
neer Jaycox in person. The subsequent
work was all performed by the party as
above.
The line of division between the two
counties from the divide north of Alex
ander lake to the southwest horn of
the Mesa and from there to the mouth
Of Dominguez creek is now marked by
monuments Of stone with the words
Mesa and Delta in their respective
sides. These monuments have been
erected at every angle or turning point
in Grand Mesa and at every prominent
point between the rim rock and the
mouth Of the Domieguez.
The survey has been accomplished in
the short time Of twenty four days
which is largely due to favorinx wea-
ther, splendid health and harmonious
working force.

DEMOCRATIC HOPE s1DErRAcKEn
Taft and Foraker Shoulder to shoul-
der for Republican Principles.

der for Republican Principles.
Another Democratic hope has been
sldetracked. That was that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy. and would
thus impair his chances of carrying the
State of Ohio.
The two big Ohioans fittingly met
at the G. A. r. reunion in Toledo, and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
differences may have existed between
them to the air.
Mr.. Taft's contribution to the treaty
Of peace was as follows:
ut is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker, because when
governor of Ohio he gave ME my first
chance and took good deal of risk in
putting a man of 20 on the bench of
the Superior Court of Cincinnati. We
are about to enter-or rather have en-
tered-a great oratorical campaign. 1t
Is a pleasure to think In this presence
that we are going to stand In the
campaign shoulder to shoulder. with
the full strength of the Republican
party"
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr..
Taft and himself, and said:
"Under the circumstances l hope I
may be pardoned II I say here in this
presence-the first time l have had
opportunity to say it-that there is not
row and SO far as know there never
has been the slightest Ill feeling of any
Kind between Mr.. Taft and myself
II there is anything I have right
to claim beyond another. it is that

erences sometimes as to who should
receive the honors OF the party, and
everybody generally finds out what they
are. But | am one of those old-fash-
ioncd Republicans who settle every such
question at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr.. Taft
10 he the Republican candidate for the
Presidency this year. that instant he
became my leader. He has been my
leader ever since, and he will be my
leader until the polls close on the night
of the election"
Mr. Foraker followed with an esti-
mate of Judge Taft's fitness for the
office he seeks by repeating what Bishop
Fallows had said before him.
Il want to repeat it," he said, that
his experience on the bench. in the
Philippines, as Secretary of War. in
the construction OF the Panama Canal.
in all the positions he has filed. has
been such as to qualify Mr.. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him.
and II he does not make a success Of
1t, 1t will be his own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with a review Of his early ac-
quaintance with Judge Taft, and the
favorable impression he then gained Of
him.
