MRS. SCHOCK
WINS SUIT

A case i'm which Grand junction
people We're keenly interested was
decided i'm GlenwoOd Springs yester-
day by Judge Shumate.
Mrs. Minnesota Schock of Grand
Junction is given Judgment for s2,-
40 against Mrs. Elnora Skiff, ct al.
The case has been pending a long
time. The defense may ask for a
new trial.
Mrs. Schock controlled the South
ern rooming house in this city. She
did not have a deed to the property,
but had made a payment and held a
contract for the deed. She became
dissatisfied and listed the property
with a real estate agent, who found
that Mr.. and Mrs. Skiff were tired
of ranching and wanted a change
An exchange of properties was ar
ranged, and Mrs. Schock took the
ranch and the Skiffs the Southern
rooming house. The latter became
tired of the humdrum of city life and
wanted their ranch back. They
turned the Southern property over
to Mr.. Korn. the original owner. Mrs.
Schock alleged that Korn and the
Skiffs pooled against her and tried
to regain possession of the ranch,
even going so far as to return to her
husband the amount of the first pay
ment, this without her knowledge
and consent. She took the matter
into court and the judgment rem
dered yesterday was the result.

NEW SETTLERS FLOCK
TO GRAND VALLEY

| IL is not strange that many
new settlers are moving into the
fruit valleys of this state and es-
pecially into those on the west
ern slope. The injurious frost
of last year has not made them
fearful, for frosts of that kind
are the exception, and the farm
ers are learning how to guard
against them.
What fruit growers in California
have done for years those of Colora-
do may have to learn to do as an
extra precaution. Smudging has
been proved to be a protection
against frost when properly done.
Many fruit orchards are protected
in this way in California, and in
stances are reported of success on
the western slope OF this state.
The enormous profits gathered
from Colorado orchards in success
full years enable a grower to bridge
over one or two seasons of compare
tive failure: and. knowing this, the
homeseekers are coming, and will
add enormously in the course of a
few years to the orchard area.
Horticulture presents this among
other attractions, that it enables a
large population to occupy a rela-
lively small area. The counties that
include fruit valleys within their
boundaries will become densely pop
ulated. In the Grand valley, sur
rounding Grand Junction. the con-
struction of an iRterurban system of
electric roads is now under consid-
Grafton, and soon the whole of that
valley will be filled with prosperous
people.
What is true of the vicinity of
Grand Junction is more or less true
of other fruit-growing localities; and
Colorado has every reason to well
come the people who are coming
with the intention of making homes
m those valleys.-Editoria in the
Denver Republican.

1 to two greatest armies that ever
walked the earth.
AS one looked at the line of old
veterans as they moved along, not
| a few faces that were to be seen in
the line last year were found to be
missing, and the realization that the
ranks of the old veterans are rapid
| ly thinning and that the roll call on
high is being answered by many of
the old heroes each year, comes to
| one in a most pronounced manner.
At the Park opera house a great
audience assembled, filing the build
ing to overlooking. and the exercis-
es were carried out just as an
| nounced yesterday. The reading of
the orders for the observance, Lin
coins speech at Gettysburg, pray
er. musical numbers and a splendid
patriotic and appropriate address by
Judge Kicker made up the program.
The sentiments expressed by
Judge Kicker were heartily applaud
ed by the veterans and the audience
in general. 1t was one of the most
inspiring Memorial day addresses ev-
er heard in the city.
Following the exercises at the OPP
era house, the old veterans, men,
bers of the Woman's Relief Corps
and many other citizens repaired to
the cemeteries. where the graves of
the dead comrades were decorated
with sweet flowers.
The decoration of the graves con-
cluded the formal exercises of the
day.
A world of beautiful flowers was
contributed by friends ana families
of the veterans.
During the hours of the exercises
a number of the business houses were
closed
All day today the public Offices and
buildings have been closed in observ
ance of Memorial day. it being a ma
tional holiday. There was not the
general suspension of businesses there
would have been had it not been Sat

EXPECT GOOD CROP
West Virginia Farmers Believe That
1908 Will Be a Good Year.

Farmers throughout the state are
confident that their crops this year
will be good The SHOWS which have
fallen during the past two weeks have
been of great relief to them. for at
the time of the first snowfall the
earth was in such a condition as to
promise the killing of many kinds of
vegetation had a sudden freeze come.
As it happened snow fell abundantly
and protected the sprouting vegeta-
ton, which in many cases was prema-
ture owing to the moderation of the
temperature.
Wheat and fruit are especially
promising under present conditions,
and the latter is expected to be the
heaviest in several years. unless, of
course, there are too many great
changes in the temperature. A con-
tinuation of the present cold weather
will be of much benefit and even
late spring win be welcomed by the
farming interests.

Ex-senator Davis Persuaded Not
to Wed Miss Ashford.
SHE WILL SUE FOR DAMAGES
Overture "pII Wed You in the Golden
Summer Time" Changed TO
Other Tune.

Washington. Feb 10.-The engage
ment between ex-senator Henry G.
Davis. the millionaire octogenarlan,
and Miss Maude Ashford. formerly a
newspaper writer and social aide
to ex-senator Davis daughters, Mrs.
Arthur Lee and. Mrs. stephen 3. e.
kins, is declared today, BY those in a
position 70 know, to have terminated.
There Is an intimation that Miss Ash
ford intends TO seek damages. Miss
Ashford denied last night that the en-
gagament was broken although her
denial is surrounded by such peculiar
circumstances that it is robbed of
some of its force Coupled with her
denial was Miss Ashford's bitter and
scathing denunciation OF Mrs. Elkins,
whom she referred to as her irrecon-
cilable enemy A peculiar thing
about the whole complication in con-
nection with the fact Of Miss Ashford
insisting that the engagement is still
in force and at the same time declar-
ing that Mrs. Elkins is her relentless
foe, is the further fact that Senator
Davis dined last night at the home of
his daughters, Mrs. Elkins and Mrs.
Lee and the dinner took on all the
appearances of family council. The
great significance of this family gath
ering at the home OF Mrs. Flkins
rests in the fact that about a month
ago ex-senator Davis. then living with
his daughter Mrs. Lee, qnameled with
her over his insistence upon marrying
Miss Ashford and left her home and
went to live at the Shoreham hotel.
Last nights affair. a happy party at
the home of Mrs. Elkins with Miss
Ashford at home practically ignored,
is a surface indication that Mrs. FL
kins and Mrs. Lee have won their
battle in opposition to their fathers
marriage. and that Miss Ashford is
unable to overcome the antagonism.
