Franco German War.

The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco German War.
The Princess Bismarck, SO the story
goes, changed the political history Of
France unwittingly, and but for her
the Franco-Prussian war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugene hoped with
her beauty to influence him SO that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court Of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests in a gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and In love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow tolobserve the effect Of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came, with
his wife upon his arm.
| Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener-
GUS. As she walked she showed q
great deal Of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along. the line Of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as a fash, followed
the glance Of their eyes and saw them
rest upon. the feet Of his wife. -.
That settled the matter. The polih.
cal history Of France, waa altered from
that moment. 4. ss.s 49,
! A year later, when Paris WAS be
sieged, Bismarck himself fred can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard him shout:
'sTake that for the feet Of the Pnn
cess Bismarckp'
The slight was avenged.

AS was stated some time ago,
Manager Moore has contracted to
handle through the Grand Junction
association the greater part of the
peaches grown in the four big CEN
ters of Utah Mr. Moore went pret-
ty thoroughly over the fruit districts
on this trip, and he thinks that the
crop there will be considerable. He
finds that the Utah growers take
good care of their crops, but that
their weak point has been in their
handling and marketing of thair
fruit.
He thinks that the crops in the
sections visited by him and in which
he has contracted to handle fruit
will reach about 500 cars. OF this
total number of cars he thinks that
the Grand Junction association will
secure 400 cars.
He spent considerable time in and
around Provo, Salt Lake City, North
Ogden and Bingham City. which are
the big centers for fruit shipping
Heretofore they have shipped their
fruit through local dealers or per-
mitted their fruit to go out to east
ern fruit centers on consignment.
permitting the big fruit commission
houses to return what they pleased
to the Utah growers.
Manager Moore agreed that, in Or
der to handle the fruit properly, he
would place inspectors at each of
the points named above. These men |
will handle the fruit, see that it is |
packed correctly and will ship direct |
from their. respective shipment |
points, the consignees being named !
from here.
To secure their fruit distributed to
the right market has been the great !
problem with the Utah growers, and
Manager Moore's large experience in
fruit will overcome that
difficulty. He says that they grow
fine fruit in Utah and pack it well,
and there is no reason that it should
not have the benefit of being placed
in first class markets.
With 400 cars of fruit passing
the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers Associat ton, it will assist in
keeping that big institution busy in
handling the same, even though the
mere manual labor of handling the
fruit is not performed here.

service.
After some time spent in informal
greetings, the gathering was called
to order and Judge Sprigg Shackle-
ford, acting as chairman, introduced
Senator DeLong, who made a few
remarks.
Mr.. Newell then told of the work
of the reclamation service along some
lines, referred to the employment of
the certificate plan in carrying out
irrigation projects. He stated that
the demands on the reclamation SER
vice for funds to carry out projects
were far greater than could be sup
piled. He talked in a very optimis-
tic manner regarding the Grand val
ley project and intimated that the
government might have it under way
by the year 1910.
w. S. Wallace, secretary of the
local Water Users Association, made
brief but interesting talk, and
stated that there was general ap-
proval of the proposition to have the
Grand valley project taken up un-
der the certificate plan.
Engineer Davis told of previous
visits to the Grand valley, and the
favorable impression the Grand Val
ley High Line canal project had made
on him.
Short talks were made by several
other gentlemen. and then an ad
journment was taken.

A Company composed of Paonia citi-

is but 8 < to 6 miles from Paonia, and
there is still left some land that can be
taken under the Homestead Act, and
other land that can be bought for $40
per acre. The water for this land will
cost just what the ditch costs for con-
strsction, which is estimated at about
$50 per acre for perfect water right;
but careful irrigator can get along
with one-half that amount; $40 per
acre is the most that perfect water

course, means a water right for alfalfa

amount will be sufficient.
