VT was nearly noon Of the next day
when Helen awoke to find that
Mcnamara had ridden I'm from the
L creek and stopped for breakfast
with the Judge. He had asked for her,
but on hearing the tale OF the nights
adventure would not allow her to be
disturbed. Later he and the Judge
had gone away together.
Although her judgment approved the
step she had contemplated the night
before, still the girl now felt strange
reluctance to meet Mcnamara. 1t Is
true that she knew no III Of him except

She had ridden much Of late, taking
long solitary gallops beside the SHIN
mering sea that she loved so well or
up the winding valleys into the foot

waters or giinted the dash OF shovel
blades. This morning her horse was
lame, 50 she determined to walk. In
her early rambles she had looked TIM
idly askance at the rough men she met
till she discovered their genuine re-
spect and courtesy. The most un-
kempt among them were often college
bred. although for that matter the
toughest Of the miners showed abun'
dant consideration for a woman. So
she was glad to allow the men to talk
to her with the fine freedom inspired
by the new country and Its wide
i spaces. The wilderness breeds chiv-
airy all its own.

The WESTERN SLOPES 1908 CROP
Interesting Story of tl,e Outlook for
This Section OF the State as Told
by Widely Circulated
Paper.

Personal observation as well as
reports from the Western Slope lead
to the conclusion that much damage
was done by the late freezes, yet
from all present Indications the crop
will average up about the same as
last year ard N some localities per-
haps better One saving feature is
the late blossoms coming after the
freeze. There will be plenty of fruit
all over that country. However, the
promoters of the settlement of that
great country may be committing
slight error in losing sight of the
fact in some instances that all that
vast productive territory is good for
many crops not grown on trees.
Those lands are decidedly valuable
for the growing of sugar beets, al
falfa, small grain, Irish potatoes and
vegetables, as has been time and
again demonstrated. These latter
crops are seldom if ever damaged by
the cold.
Judging from the time of imm-
grafton and capital pouring into that
country no attention is being paid

We may still safely predict the early
settlement of all those valleys.

towns are having steady and
healthy growth. Hotchliss has voted
bonds for sewers and other munich
pal improvements and will soon be-
gin work all along the line. Grand
Junction is booming along as usual
and already in the city class. Delta
boasts of some twenty-five or thirty
new buildings in course OF erection
and more to follow. Montrose and
Olathe also in the Uncompahgre val
ley, are growing as never before,
while the class of building material
used is decidedly more substantial
formerly. Many of the farmers in
the country seem to have caught the
infection and are putting up brick
and cement block structures. To
sum up, we may safely put the en-
tire Western Slope in the prosperous

evidence of this is needed than the
