Derivation Of Words.

arnold White remarks that IAN ad.
mirai is an emir Of the sea-, "Ad-
miral." or rather the older 'amiral"
1.-THE ID" is an intruder), is one Of
many familiar words of Arabic origin.
It represents "amir-al-bahr," com
mander of the sea. The dropping OF
the "bahr' has left in this case a
mutilated form meaning literally only
Commander of the. In other
words the Arabic definite article and
the following substantive still trans
late together. Thus there Is ''alge-
bra" the reduction: "alkali," the plant
ashes; "alembic," the cup; alcohol"
for ealkohi." literally the burned
thing and elixir" which stands for
"aliksir." the philosophers stone or
powder.

In all wonderment she lifted the
bundle of clothes and peering within
the folds of the bundle was surpris-
ed to find beautiful infant boy ly-
ing snugly within the bundle of
clothes.
She looked in every direction to
see if any one had simply laid the
bundle down and would return to
pick it up. but no one appearing Mrs.
Stanley took the infant within her
home. Her first impulse was to call
the authorities and deliver over the
infant child to the proper authorities
but looking again and again, she
suddenly resolved that as no child
has blessed her home, she would
keep ii at least over night and then
perhaps take it to the city hall.
In looking through the bundle, she
found all the necessary clothes for
the present needs of the child and on
one of the little slips of babyhood a
note, saying that the mother or rath-
er parents knew she was without a
child and that to support the child.
the parents would have to sacrifice
much and being poor, they thought
they would send it to her They
claimed the baby was born of hon
orable parents and the only reason
for abandoning the child was that
the family was too poor to raise it.
This warmed the heart of Mrs.
Stanley and when morning came she
fully determined to adopt the child
and it has now been with her a
month and she proposes to legally
adopt the infant, that has stolen a
very warm place in her heart.
Mrs. Stanley was left consider

husband and the parents III selecting

1t used to be with some men doing
things: The People be damned or
To hell with the People"-but not
so in my case. l came to Grand
junction last December and wished
to interest the officers of the Cham
ber of Commerce but only the secre-
tary at that time would make tour

car fare to Fruita, but it was too
cold. After returning from my trip
in June | again proposed trip to
inspect the Grand junction entrance

rather too hot after the Fourth of
July and l agreed with him. When
return this fall I'll call again for

neither too cold or too hot nor too
wet or too dry-but just right. There
is a whole lot of work in sight and
by working together much can be ac-
complished. For the people, the peo-
pie at home and the people that
come-they must see the natural
national monuments. They must
also come up on top of the great
Grand Mesa. All know the saying
there is always room on top'-that
sure strikes the top OF this mesa just
right. You can drive all over it now
if there only was a road to get up
on it. Boost the Columbine trail and
the road will come and also boost
the Monument Canon trails and the
road will come.

on top way out on the far north point
of this mesa with the whole world"
before you and below you inter-
mingled with the tinkling of the bells
of the herds you would hear the
merry howl of the coyote.
The first Sunday in August will al
ways be Jubilee Sunday at least for
Grand Mesa. l must not forget the
pond lilies they are commencing to
bloom. Just heard the shrill whistle

OTTO TELLS OF
THE GRAND MESA

i The Sentinel is in receipt of a most
interesting and entertaining letter
4 from John Otto, The Hermit OF
Monument Canon" who is now un-
dertaking to build short trail uI
the Grand Mesa.
The letter follows:
Camp Fancy, At The Snowbanks
August 3, 1908.
The Daily Sentinel,
Grand Junction, Colo.
Gentlemen ~ yesterday, August 2
the cornerstone" (stake) was laid
for the new, short, direct trail from
Palisade up to Grand Mesa. On the
| first projecting point to the left
| docking up) of Whitewater creek
| you can see twenty foot stake
planted in a rock monument; in a
little empty baking powder can un-
derneath the piles of rocks there is a
little tiny flag and on a sheet of pa
per is written in blue, Saturday,
August l, 1905"
Colorado Day resolution resolved
that will do my utmost to promote
the Columbine trail and see that it
is completed by August /, 1903, for
the benefit of mankind.
On another sheet of paper are the
names of Palisade, Grand Mesa
boosting party. Three young people
came up on horseback up the Point
trail and were just in time to witness
the ceremony
Point trail is like all the rest of
the trails, is condemned outright by
the Humane Society-the society for
the prevention of cruelty to the chill
dren of men and the dun brute.
On top of the stake a white flag
is flying with the wind, so it can be
more piainly seen. / thought at first
to put about 20X30 in stars and
stripes on top of the pole, but con-
ciuded it would be better to wait till
the trail was built. AS / stated, there
is tiny flag inside the tin can which
is covered tight to keep the rain and
snow out.
The Columbine trail is the begin
ming for all other things to come
concerning Grand Mesa. The great
est, grandest of al Mesas. / came
down the Plateau and went up past
the Mesa lakes on the morning of
August 1st | went on top of the IN esa,
across it to the front rimrock and
camped. 1t rained too. | started a
fire which you perhaps saw on the
night of August /. 1t was a jubilee
fire after the ceremony yesterday.
The next day | packed up my outfit
and rode across to the snowbanks
where all kinds of wild flowers are
in bloom-red ones, white and blue
as well as the pinks and yellows.
Just as the sun went down"
struck a match and lit fire on the
extreme north point of the mesa and
after 1t got burning good | started a
few more around the west rim, of the
promitory-jubilee fires.
Its worth while for anyone to come
on top of Grand Mesa and view a
sun set Perhaps he may not be as
fortunate as | was to see the sun
set like on August 2, 1908. | once
witnessed the sun set when it sank"

THE BOYS
MUST STOP

There has been complaint
made To the city officials by the
railroad company to the effect
tf.a boys selling papers, fruit,
etc, at the union station when
the passenger trains arrive dali
ly, are making themselves most
unbearabie with their yelling,
crowding, pushing and that some
of them are indul2ing in very
impudcnt talk.
1t has been found that ordinance
No. SO covers such matters as the
vending of papers and fruit at the
railroad station, and, as the boys
have imposed on good nature, the
ordinance will be strictly enforced by
Chief of Police O'Neil and his men.
Chief O'Neil states that all the boys
will be warned to cease from crowd
ing around the car steps whenever a
train stops. and a dead line will
probably be established and the boys
kept on the outer side of this line
when each train arrives, and there
fore in crying their wares each will
have an equal showing with the 9TH
ers. .EnkA
