A Credit to the City

1t is already well known that there
est, best equipped and most modern
exclusive undertaking establishment
to be found between Pueblo. Colo.
and Salt Lake City, Utah. No under
taker or embalmer in any city in the
inter-mountain region is better pre-
pared or better qualified to give at
tention to that delicate work of caring g
for the dead than Il. A. KrohIi who
for n number of years has devoted
attention to the profession of under
taker and embalmer in this city. Mr..
Krohn'J ability has never been ques-
toned and his study of the art of
embalming and the duties of fun
eral director has been most conscien-
tious and effective. He is the only
man in this section of the state that
devotes his entire time to the under
taking business. He long ago ap-
preciated the undesirabilty of max
this business "side-line" to some
other business.
Securing a lease on one of the
beautiful rooms in the Reed block on
Main street about year ago Mr..
Krohn removed his establishment
from the old and well appointed quar-
ters and fitted up a place which is
unsurpassed in this section of the
country, and unequaled in western
Colorado, by any other undertaking
establishment, for elegance, cleanli-
ness, beauty and modern appoint
ments. 1t is indeed a beautiful
place. The morgue is complete and
modern in every detail. the lovely
chapel. the stock rooms. the offices
are equally as perfect III detail.
Mr.. Krohn owns one of the hand
soonest funeral cars ever brought into
Colorado.
Mr.. Krohn is easily recognizable as
one of the leading undertakers and
funeral directors In the Rocky Noun
tain region.

Give a practical and thoroughly
the display of his skill and activity
and he becomes at once a man OF i'm
portance to his community. This
fact is strongly in evidence in the
case of b. C. Iseminger, the repairer
and builder of all classes of machin-
cry. No matter what line the ma
chinery may represent. whether
steam or gasoline engine. pumps for
high and low pressure, centrifugal or
rotary; boilers, hoists or blowers,
the separate jobs are finished with
the results that always mark the
master mechanic. Each job in its
turn receiving the whole attention of
the true artisan. and each and every
one going out with the imprint of
workmanship that goes with per-
feet work.
All kinds of machinery supplies
are always on hand at the warerooms
and work shop at 555 Main street.
Betting, packing, valves, gauges, pipe
wrenches, pipe and fittings occupied
special places in stock of supplies.
Spray tanks and spraying machinery
are featured articles of the estab-
lishment. In side lines tin and fur
mace work. bicycle repairing, electric
heat regulating and tin roofing gut
terlngs are executed. The business
is the most complete of any of like
nature in the state, and for four years
has fulfilled In the city and county
all the orders that 1t has been fav-
ored with. The grade of its work
can be measured by the success of
the past. Its list of customers is in
creasing regularly. The sale of char
coal has become no small item In the
record of the establishment. Price
and quality making it one of the best
markets In the vicinity for the sale
of this commodity.

A Growing Business

Mention a trade. profession or busi-
ness. and cite the representative of
the class who dignifies his labor with
conscientious care and familiarity OF
its requirements in anytown or city
of the Union. and they can be dupli-
Gated by one here. No matter wnat
line of human endesyor you may COW
er in the quest. the story is the SANE.
Grand Junction and Grand valley is
noted for this fact. The paralleling
of men here with those OF other sec
tions is a satisfying theme. for in
each case, Mesa county comes out
with flying colors. The Western
Slope Marble and Granite company
qualify that assertion in their busi-
ness life. Doing business for the
last four years. dealing in monu-
ments and all fine stone work; max
ing as a side line iron fences and
lawn and cemetery fixtures they have
substantiated the fact above for in
all parts of Colorado and Utah are
many finished specimens of their
work. In all matters and detail per-
tanning to stone and iron they are
master workmen and they equal in
completeness of orders executed. and
economy of cost any eastern competi-
tor. Their finished work and their
record is a substantial proof of this
fact.
The firm is composed of ]. B. Mat
thews and C. F. Funk. Mr.. Matthews
has been a resident of the valley for
twelve years. and is one of the city
aldermen. AS member of the firm
he has charge of the selling. which
extends to most OF the western slope
territory in Colorado and eastern
Utah. Mr.. Funk came to Grand
Junction two years ago from Wis
consin, where he had been in the re-
tail monumental business for over
eighteen years. With the present firm
he has charge of all the manufac-
turing departments. Their offices
and salesrooms are located on Main

There is no other avenue of pro-
duction which surpasses the fruit in
dustry In the possibilities of recoup-
ing from crop failure. Whether
there will be crop failure or not is
always known in ample time in the
spring to allow of the planting of
some other crop-potatoes. cantal-
oupes, tomatoes and a dozen other
products from which a livelihood can
be realized. This can not be done in
the case of cereals-corn. or wheat.

1 mems of each of the fourteen varieties
we're selected. 1t is reported that
every variety shown In the Grand
Valley exhibit outdistanced the spe-
cimens of that same variety shown
from any other section.
The wonderful success of our ap-
pies at the New York exhibition is
the climax to what has gone before
during this season. The judges at
the great state fair in Missouri only
a few weeks ago. were so magnani-
nous as to award the first premium
to the exhibit sent from Colorado,
the larger part of which was made
up of the fruit sent from the or
chards in the vicinity of Grand juno
ton. and our fruit was not competent
to compete under the rules. The
exhibit placed in charge of Mr.. Bran
I denburg. representing the Colorado
Commercial Association. was greeted
by the most wonderful expressions
of astonishment by visitors at the
state fairs of Illinois, Iowa. and Ne
braska. ~
For many years the exhibits froh
Mesa county at the Colorado state
fairs has taken the largest number
of premiums of any other county In
the state. and, with the exception of
a single year, this county has taken
the first premium for the best and
largest collection of fruits in, the
state, as we'll as from the Fifth dis
trict, which comprises the counties
on the western slope.
In September, 1907, our fruit took
both first premiums and individual
premiums amounting to over $3.50
in cash.
Wherever the fruit from this val
ley has been exhibited it has not been
surpassed by the productions of any
other locality in the United States.
We can say this without the fear OF
successful contradiction and stand
ready to prove our words by making
an exhibit at any time of the season
when the fruit can be provided from
any locality.

B. c. Iseminger Davis Nurseries

unconsciously, the thought of
Grand valley brings out the Idea of
fruit Here, in the garden spot of
nature. man has taken advantage of
natural conditions. and by labor has
brought forth fruit that has no
equal In any other part of the coun-
try. This assertion is used with eau
ton and safety, for 1T is backed by
facts that are undisputable. When
you talk fruit you must speak of
Grand Junction: when you figure on
planting You should think of the
Davis Company Nurseries. for they

over all competition. II Is posi-
tive fact that western grown trees
, are, in every way, the superior of
the eastern ones; and as conse-
Quence, 1t is only a good business
rule to purchase the ones that are
native born. This has been done in
innumerable times for from the old
Louis Desrosius apple orchard, west
of Palisade, on the Dan Kirby pear
| orchard, down to the o. W. Jaynes'
fruitery at Clifton, the output of
trees from these nurseries are strong

eriority with the development of

are stupendous. During the coming
spring they will put in about one
million trees in the irrigated belt.

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy
and robust, and it is the weakening
of these juices that destroys health.
1t is our own fault if We destroy our
own health, and yet it is so easy for
any one to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take some
thing take it promptly, but take
something you know is reliable
something like Kodol for DYSPEPSIA
and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant
to take; it is reliable, and is guaran-
teed to give relief. 1t is sold by
Dawson Drug Co.

Gus cases are weeded out. and only
the best cases are placed on the dock
ct.
We also find from the reports of
the jail books and from inquiries
from others that it is the custom of
the judge and the solicitor to try jail
cases that cannot give bond as early
as possible after their arrest. Thus
there is a great saving in Jail fees.
1t frequently happens that during
the months of December and Janu-
airy, Immediately after Superior Court
adjourns, loafing negroes are placed
in Jail who cannot give bond, and
who, unless we had a court of the
character of the City Court, would
have to stay in Jail until the Superior
Court meets the last of May at a
large expense to the county.
We cannot ascertain the amount
thus saved to the county in Jail fees
but from inquiry from officers and
those of our body who have had ex-
perience along this line we are con-
fident that from $3.50 to $1,000 is
thus saved each year in Jail fees.
We also find upon investigation
that it is the custom of the county
commissioners, authorized by special
act of the legislature, to pay the Of
ficers of the superior Court and City
Court $500 per month for all con-
victs that are worked on the public
roads.
We have no criticism to make of
this except to say that in our judg-
ment the officers are entitled to their
actual cost in the particular cases
that go to the changing, whatever
that is, and no more. ~
We therefore recommend that in
the future the officers be pad their
actual cost in cases where conyicts
are worked upon the public roads.
From the above investigation we
are firmly of the belief that a City
Court or some court of it's kind is an
absolute necessity to Terrell county,
and a great saving to the tax payers.
and a great convenience to farmers
and others who have business with
the courts, and we therefore recon-
mend that it do not be abolished, but
that certain defects which we name
below be corrected by amendment.

City Court should be placed upon
the same footing in regard to fees as
the solicitor of the Superior Court,
that the labOrer is worthy of his
hire and that the solicitor is emit
tied to what he earns and no more.
We therefore recommend that that
part of the City Court act which
places the solicitor on a salary be re-
pealed at the coming session of the
legislature, and we request our rep
and senator to urge sucu
a bill for immediate passage.
When this is done the only possible
cost of the City Court will be the sal
airy of the judge, and the per diem
of the jurors, sheriff, clerk and bail
ifs, and the county will have its con-
victs practically without cost. Re-
specially submitted,

1t advises the young men to stay
on the farm, where King Cotton,
corn and potatoes grow in abund-
ance. l will agree that if a man
owns his own land and stock and
his home he can live more at ease

for salary, but for the young man
who has common school education
and has desire to climb higher on
the ladder the farm offers small
inducement.
The salaries paid a man in the
business world are not to be COM
pared with those paid on the farm,
