WESTERN SLOPE
Growth Of Grand Junction and its Neighboring Towns Told
Of by Horticultural Society President and State Dairy
Commissioner Delta Gets Large Modern Creamery

Deputy State Dairy Commissioner
]. j. Girardot returned yesterday
from a trip to the western slope, dur
ing which he visited Delta and Of
fered counsel in the preliminary
work of establishing large modern
creamery plant at that place, says
yesterdays Denver Republican.
The new enterprise is headed by
II. A. Worse, recently of Utah, who
has had wide experience in dairying
in the mountainous region of the
west. A company of local and east
ern capitalists has been formed, and
1t Is proposed to eventually develop
a chain or system of creameries to
cover the entire western slope and
to work in cooperation with each
other for mutual benefit. The head
quarters of the system will be at
Delta, which is to be the main ship
ping and distributing point.
The new enterprise will be in the
hands of C. ID. Thompson. an expert
from Wisconsin, who will have active
charge as superintendent. The var
ious creameries of the western slope
have for years felt the necessity of
some such enterprise as this, as they
have not individually been strong
enough to develop markets and es-
tablish such shipping facilities as are
essential to the most successful op-
Grafton and development of the in
dustry. They therefore will well
come the new proposition as a pro-
ject certain to result in great mutual
benefit to them as individual enter
prises. as well as to the interests of
the dairy business in that section OF
the state as whole.
Mr.. Girardot also joins his testi-
mony to that of others who have
brought encouraging reports as to
the general prosperity of that por-
ton of the state. The fruit crop, he
declares. is assured beyond any con-
tingency that may be foreseen, and
his prediction Is that the western

A strike of the machinists on the
entire Denver & Rio Grande system
is now considered only a question of
days. The committees and grand Of
ficers of the car repairers, the black
smiths and boiler makers are gath
ering in the city and it is considered
equally certain that they will be
drawn into the struggle.
A strike ballot was sent out Mon
day by the machinists and the re-
turns will begin to come in by to lay.
M. J. McQueeny is representing the
machinists, and while he will not ex-
press a definite opinion until the re-
suit of the ballot is known, it is GER
tain that he expects the vote to be
practically unanimous in favor of a
general walk-out. That opinion is
formed from the sentiment expressed
at the various lodge meetings.
The grand officers of the car re-
pairers arrived today and the general
grievance committee of the boiler
makers has already assembled. They
will seek conferences with the offic-
ers of the company. but none of them
has much hope of a satisfactory ad-
justment, because of the failure of
the machinists to secure any definite
results. a. C. Ridgeway, general
manager of the Rio Grande, has left

Earnings and Curtailments.
The unions say that the Rio
Grande has shown a decrease of only
25 per cent in its gross earnings
while the company is laying off about
65 per cent of it's forces in the me-
chanical departments with similar
heavy curtailments in other depart
ments. That has emphasized to them
the belief that the company is trying
to force the strike at this time. The
Missouri Pacific, which owns the con-
trolling interest in the Rio Grande.
has discharged 10000 men in the
last few weeks, besides closing it's
shops entirely at number of points,
and local men believe that that road
is preparing to abrogate its contracts
with the union the same as is being
done by the Rio Grande.
An effort will be made to have all
of the unions in the mechanical de-
partments work in harmony with the
hope of tying up the road completely
If that can be done in the present
condition of the labor market.

The COP Is COMING

Boston, March 5.-Boston police
authorities are considering the addi-
tion of several more automobile po-
licemen to the force, as the result of
the successful trial given by Police
man Bauer, the automobile cop of
the West Roxbury district, which COW
ers almost one-third of the area of
city of Boston. While bicycle police
have become common, Boston has
been the first city to use the auto
mobile as an aid in the transaction
of police business and the trial has
fully demonstrated the usefulness of
the motor cars.
Officer Bauer's machine Is of the
runabout order. 1t has seen good SER
vice since it's first trip in June, 1905.
Up to the present time, it has COW
cred 33,3S4 miles in its trips through
Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury
the territory to which it is confined; !;
3.251 miles We're recorded in 1905,
11,627 miles in 1906 and 11,264 in
1907. In January of this year the
machine ran 1,242 miles.
Its service has been nearly as
varied as that of the policeman who

slope will this year produce the ban
ner crop of its history. In other
lines, too, the outlook is no less en-
couraging. At Delta more than 200
houses were erected during the past
year, and yet there is not house
to rent in the town. Similar condi-
tions prevail in but slightly lesser
degree at Montross and Grand juno
ton, and more new settlers are COM
ing into all parts of the region than
was ever known before.
In a talk with President w. S. Co
burn of the State Horticultural So
ciety, Mr.. Girardot learned that the
| chief concern of the western slope
fruit growers is now as to how they
/ are to secure adequate shipping fa-
cilities for the immense crop which
they anticipate this year. That has
been difficulty keenly felt before,
and to great pecuniary loss in
many instances. Consequently the
growers are bending every energy to-
ward indlcilg the railroads to make
such ada tiOns to their service as are
| imperatlyely demanded. and with ap-
parent prospect of success.
President Cohurn also announced
the welcome news that the western
slope fruit grove. are preparing to
exhibit at the fair to be held in Dem
yer early next September upon a
scale never heretofore undertaken
They have laid hold of the Denver
idea with enthusiasm, and will send
their best and finest of every variety
of fruit and kind. They fully real
lie the immense benefits to be de-
rived from advertising their unsur-
passed product to the world, and
they are convinced that the Denver
fair will offer opportunity such as
has never been enjoyed by them.
In consequence, they promise the
finest and largest fruit exhibit that
has ever been seen in this country
and that is putting it about as strong
as it can be made.

COLORADO CASE

Especial to The sentinel.)

Washington, Mar. An the su-
preme court of the United States a
couple of days ago Solicitor General
Hoyt moved the advancement on the
docket of the criminal proceedings
against number of prominent peo-
Pile of Colorado on the charge of con-
spiracy in appropriating coal and
timber lands in that state.
In these cases the district courts
failed to return verdicts of guilty on
the ground that no offense had been
committed under section 5440 of the
revised statutes, which was relied
upon for their conviction. The cases
also involve the question of the le-
gality of the revelations by the de-
partment of the interior, which it
is claimed are outside the law.
Mr.. Hoyt says that until these cas-
es are decided it will be impossible
for the government to maintain any
charge of fraudulent entry of coal
and timber lands in Colorado. There
are many similar cases in other
states and territories.

BOLD ATTEMPT

RICHARD HARDWARE STORE is
INVADED BY BURGLAR WHO
SHOOTS AT CLERK

An attempt was made to rob the
Richard hardware store early Fri
day night and but for the accidental
interference OF Charles Coble the
thieves would have made away with
considerable booty. Mr.. Coble is en-
ployed as a clerk in the store, and
about $3.50 that evening he entered
the store to take the cash from the
cash register and place it in the safe.
AS he unlocked the door, he casually
noticed a man, evidently confeder-
ate, in front of the window in the
act of lighting cigarette or pipe.
Upon entering the store he started
for the register, but before he had
proceeded many steps the form of a
man rose from behind the counter,
who after leveling revolver at him
fired. Coble didn't hesitate a Sec
ond but immediately ran from the
place into the Orc Y Plato saloon and
informed the. crowd there of what
had happened. A search was made
of the premises, but the burglar had
| fled leaving a sack containing some
guns and several raZors.

CHICAGO GRAFTERS
DO BIG BUSINESS

CHICAGO, H., March %. An
amazing system Of robbery and graft
involving city employees and big bust
ness firms and extending back
through several years was uncovered
in the water department. AS a re-
suit of the. revelations two employees,
Including a division head, were re-
moved and ,thirty-eight subordinate
employees are slated for discharge.
Some of them may be indicted for
completely in the thefts. -
Through the use of fixed" meters
and the connivance of city employees
several large corporations have de-
frauded the city of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in water taxes. At
the same time the employees of the
meter division, to which the scandal
is confined, have plundered the
stock of supplies, selling meters to
junk dealers and bartering materials
for drinks in saloons.
Supplies never used by the city
were purchased ostensibly for the
water department and then used by
city plumbers in private outside bust
nese.
The pay rolls of the division were
found padded with idlers and incom-
petents. The force. which originally
numbered 200 men. was reduced. by
Superintendent w. ]. McCourt of the

ROBERTSON WILL
Make Confession

SAN FRANCISCO, March Is
Word reached the office of the chief
of police late last, night that John
Dalzell Robertson, assistant secretary
of the defunct California Safe De-
post and Trust company, was in New
York and anxious to return to San
Francisco and turn states evidence.
Robertson was indicted with ]. Dali
zell Brown, Walter ]. Bartnett and
James Treadwell for embezzlement
He escaped from San Francisco as
soon as the crash came and has been
fugitive for four months. Robert
son is penniless and broken in health.
Through friends he has made what
practically amounts to a complete
confession and hopes that he may be
granted immunity for the testimony
the is willing to give.
The statements made by Robert
son directly involve Bartnett, Brown
and TreadweH
The story told by Robertson in New
York is one of long fight to re-
establish himself in the world with
failure and poverty at the end of the
struggle. Robertson told his friends
that he had been lodging from place
to place in the eastern states fol
the past four months, that he hat
tried in vain to secure work, and thai
finally the futility of further resist
ance to fate had impressed itself upor
him. He was ready, he said, t.
return to San Francisco and cage
to again greet his wife and look afte
his home.
