TALKS OF THE
FRUIT OUTLOOK
Prominent Leadvie Man Visits the Fruit Centers Of the
Western Slope and Tells What He Saw---Good Crops
Expected. Growers Are Not Discouraged

The following most interesting sum
mary of the conditions in the fruit
circles of the western slope was given
yesterday in a Leadville paper by a
prominent business man of that city
who recently visited Grand Junction
and other western slope points:
That the fruit crop of the western
slope will be much heavier this year
than it was last, in spite of the dam
aging frosts which visited that section
a few weeks ago, is the belief of Will
liam McCallum, manager of the
Sweltzer Mercantile company, who has
just returned from visit to Mesa
Delta and Garfield county fruit belts.
A considerable portion of this in
crease will be represented, he says,
by the increased acreage. and the av-
erage yield per acre will be larger
than it was thought it would be i'm
mediately after the frost.
At Delta. Mr.. McCallum says. about
80 per cent of the apple crop is de-
stroyed. but there will be very few
peaches.
At Paonia. and in the Paonia dis
trict, the crop will be larger than it
ever was. This will be due largely
to the perfect system of smudging
which has been adopted in that region.
The Paonia country is no better pro-
tected than the section around Grand
Junction but the farmers there pre-
pared for the coming of the frosts by
supplying themselves with smudging
pots and crude oil, which. it is said
furnished the best method of keeping
the frosts from the trees.
In other parts of the western slope
where the perfected smudging system
has been adopted, it is believed that
nearly all of the crop has been saved.
This is instanced in the case of one
grower. who has an orchard of thirty
acres. On twenty acres he had pro-
vided pots and oil for smudging. while
the other ten acres were unprotected
On the property which was smudged.
he will have a full crop. while about
half the fruit on the other ground
has been destroyed
A committee from Canon City Wis
tied the Grand Junction district last
week. and investigated the smudging
methods in use there. From the sue
cess that was had with the oil. it is
believed that this system will be gem
orally adopted next year and all the
fruit growing districts can be thus

ENTERTAIN GOVERNORS
Great Social Events This Week in
Honor OF the Distinguished Men
From All States Called to

Especial to The Sentinel J

Washington, May 1.-two elabO-
rate social functions will mark the
conference on national resources now
being held mt the White House. mt
which numerous governors and other
distinguished men are in attendance.
Clifford PinchOt. chief forester OF the
government. will be the host tonight
and will entertain the visiting notabIes
at an elaborate reception. Tomorrow
afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt will give a
lawn party ON the south grounds of
the White House. TO which all dele
gates to the conference, with their
wives. sisters and daughters, have
been invited.
The residence of Clifford Pinchot,
the governments chief forester who
is to give a reception tonight to all
the members of the conference is sit
uated on Rhode Island avenue. Just
removed from Scott Circle. It is one
of the largest houses in the City of
Washington. and it is admirably ad-
apted for entertainment purposes. Mr..
Pinchot. as most people probably
know, is an exceedingly wealthy man,
who has absolutely no need for the
small salary which the government
pays him for his hard work. but who
follows the work because of sheer
love for it, There will be no ladies'
invited to the reception at Mr.. Pin
ohot's residence. Large as the house
is. it could not contain the throng
that would be present If the invita-
tions were to be made general.
The really picturesque entertain
ment for the visitors viii be Mrs.
Roosevelt's garden party tomorrow.
There are several acres of ground
enclosed by the iron fence on the
Potomac side Of the White House.
There are great forest trees within
the enclosure. and the grass is a green
carpet. The south porch of the White

protected. 1t is also cheaper, cleaner,
and more convenient than the old
method of using hay and straw. The
pots are comparatively Inexpensive,
and it is thought that by another year
they will be in general use. thus prac-
tically insuring full crop in spite
of any frosts that may come.
1t is believed that the Grand juno
ton district will produce about IS per
cent of its regular crop of apples, but
very few peaches and pears.
Palisade has the largest crop of all
kinds OF fruit. including apples,
peaches. plums, pears and cherries,
in the history of that section.
East of Palisade. between DeBeque
and Glenwood Springs. there is con-
siderable fruit. and this country is be-
ing rapidly developed for fruit grow
ing purposes.
1t is surprising to note the rapid ad-
vance in the price of the land in that
section. says Mr.. McCallum. and this
since the frost visited that country.
1t was expected that some of the
farmers would be willing to let their
property go for about what they paid
for it, but he finds that they are
boosting the prices as steadily as they
were last fall.
While he was in Grand Junction a
man turned a piece of property that
made him almost Independently
wealthy. Three years ago the man
purchased 110 acres of fruit land near
Delta from Robert Blair. who form
erly lived in Leadville, paying $4,000
for it. Last week he sold fifty acres
and not the best fifty acres. either
for $4,000, leaving him an orchard
of sixty acres that will be bearing
fruit in very few years.
The Delta county section is also i'm
proving rapidly, and the wisest inves-
tors are buying in that section. it is
said. Last week John Moore. man
ager of the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association, purchased two
tracts near the city of Delta, paying
1000 for one and $4,000 for the
other. Three years ago the larger
tract was sold for 1,S00.
The people CT the western slope are
in no way discouraged with conditions
as n result of the recent frost. and
a trip to that country is all that is
necessary to convince any of the
doubtful ones of that fact.

ELLIS COUNTY AND LOCAL
OPTION.

When the question of prohibition
mitted to the voters of Ellis county
the saloons were voted out by ma
jority of less than 1000. In the last
election on this question prohibition
carried the county by a majority of
over 2000-a majority that was
greater than the total vote in favor
clusively establish the fact that pro-
hibition sentiment is not only largely
in theJmajority in Ellis county but
that it is rapidly growing. Politically
the county is almost unanimously
democratic. and the fundamental
principle of democracy is that the
will of the majority shall rule. Pro
hibition, AwhetAer you denominate
it moral or political issue, is
put into effect in Ellis county by
democratic voters, and whether you
believe it or not the democratic
precedent of majority rule is going
to be applied. If the sentiment here
is SO overwhelmingly opposed to the
legalizing of the traffic in human
souls and household purity just
think how much more overwhelming
must be the sentiment against the
Illegal traffic in an outlawed pro-
duct? The people were in earnest
when they voted the saloons out,
they confirmed their earnestness
when, by more than a doubled ma
jority, they refused to re-admit the
dram shops. and you may depend
upon it that they are now very much
in earnest in demanding of the
courts and officers a strict enforce
ment of the local option law against
every form of violation. There has
been more than enough to arouse
public suspicion that prohibition is
not being properly enforced in the
county and this suspicion is begin
ming 10 make itself heard through
the angry mutterings of those who
have elected that this traffic shall
not continue.

The Denison Herald says: The
government is bringing argument to
bear in the matter of good roads
when it threatens to abolish estab-
lished rural routes unless the roads
are put in such shape that the car
riers can get over them in bad
weather as well as fine. This is
bringing the proposition right home
TO the people of the community
through which the roads run The
herald doubts if the people living
along any of these routes would
want TO see their daily mail privil-
eye taken away and the action of the
department certainly ought to bring
immediate results" 1t is unfortun-
ate that people have to wait for COM
plant from the government in order
to secure relief from bad roads. But
relief, if obtained, through such a
cause is better than no relief at all.
