GRAND JUNCTION
MAY BE IN LEAGUE

Alfred Damon Runyon. president
of the new Colorado State Base Ball
League, announces that there will
probably be organized a western
slope league this season and that
Grand Junction will be one of the
towns on the slope that will be rep
resented on the league.
Mr.. Runyon has a letter from
John Richardson. manager of the
Glenwood Springs base ball team, in
which Mr.. Richardson says that
Glenwood Springs is going to have
a team this year that will make a
big fight for the state championship.
Already Richardson has engaged a
number of fast players, and they will
soon be in shape to open the season
All the best teams in the state will
be played, and Richardson is anx-
ious to arrange games with the State
League teams and others, both in
Glenwood Springs and in Denver
President Runyon wrote to Rich
hrdson some time ago, suggesting
the formation of a league to be COM
posed of western slope towns, such
as Glenwood Springs, Aspen. Lead

vile and Grand Junction, and to
work to certain extent in conjunc-
ton with the State League. Rich
ardson says he thinks the idea would
take.
Grand Junction will have a fast
team this year, Aspen will put anoth-
er in the field, and there are several
teams in Leadville from which a fast
aggregation could be secured.
The western slope is always a
good ball country. The teams draw
well, and the towns support their re-
spective organizations in a way that
puts many larger cities to shame.
With good western slope organiza-
tion inter-league series with the
teams of the State League would
prove big card.
The Grand Junction fans are very
anxious to get a western slope league
organized for the season. There is
no question but what this city will
have one of the strongest teams in
the state this summer and the for
nation of a western slope league will
make matters all the more interest

If this from the Des Moines Tribune
is exactly true, there is whole lot of
us who ought to be happy because we
are not afflicted with vast accumula-
tions of wealth: "The man or wo-
man whose only idol is gold is one of
the most unhappy and miserable of be-
ings. Vast accumulations of wealth
bring with them cares and response
bilities and annoyances that rob life
of its sweetest pleasures. Not only
this, but they harden the heart, dwarf
the better side of nature, turn the
milk of human kindness into whey
and develop the mean and sordid and
selfish characteristics The love of
gold blights and withers all other
loves and aspirations. 1t feeds upon
the baser and meaner longing of the
heart and mind. And after all it is
never sati..ted 1t drives its victims

A New Skin Game.

The old, old story of the man with
the smooth tongue working on the
man on the farm is being told in
Monroe county again. Two strangers
who came to the county have left
with 500 in money, while two
farmers have two notes to pay. The
game orked was new one. Two
men claiming to be from st. Louis
came 10 the city. They investigated
those who had poor eyesight and
finally fell upon two farmers who re-
side four miles north of Abba. These
they paid a visit and explained they
were specialists in their line and had
been directed to visit them by an
Abba physician. "How much would
it cost to get the vision restored?"
was the first question, and the answer
was given. Nothing if the treatment
did not do as represented. The two
farmers signed what they supposed
was an agreement to pay $50 each If
the treatment as all that was claimed
for it. Last evening the agreements
turned up in the city as notes and the
farmers were notified to call and pay.
Now the police are looking for the
two smooth strangers who are doubt
less working the same game at some
other point in this great kingdom.

The United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey has appointed Mr..
Walter HI. Dunlap. an instructor in
civil engineering in the State Uni.
versity at Iowa City, to act as mag
netic observer in Iowa, Illinois and
Minnesota. He will visit about
twenty-five cities in Iowa. besides a
number of stations in Illinois and
Minnesota. The object of his work is
to determine the intensity and direc-
ton, both horizontal and vertical, of
the earth's magnetic field. 1t is we'll
known to surveyors that the magnetic
needle points in only few places to
the true north, and that. moreover, if
left to'swing freely, it would point
somewhat downward rather than
horizontally, giving what is known
as the magnetic dip. The declination
of the needle from the trae north and
the amount of its dip are what will
be determined by Mr.. Dunlap. The
result will be of value to surveyors
and may occasionally indicate the
presence of magnetic ore bodies and
besides these will contribute toward
the determination of che earth's mag
netic laws.

State sanitarium is oyer.Crowded.

The Iowa tuberculosis hospital for
the treatment of cases of the incipient
sort is crowded to its utmost capa-
city so that in some cases the patients
are obliged to double up on the room
question. At present the highest
number of patients in the history of
the institution is being treated there,
the grand total reaching the figure of
forty five. AS Is known, there are
but forty rooms in the institution.
This necessitates two patients using
the same room, but as the rooms are
used merely for dressing purposes and
not for sleeping, the inconvenience
is slight. However, the incapacity
of the structure is readily seen.
Furthermore the number of applicants
is increasing so rapidly that an ex-
tension will either follow or greater
numbers will necessarily be turned
away. The treatment at the hospital.
as is also well known, is not of the
indicated variety, but rather OF the
common sense method of the times.
The patients take little or no medi-
cine, but give nature every possible
opportunity to throw off the malady
that Expresses them by taking all the
fresh air, sound rest and excellent
nourishment possible.
One remarkable fact is that at pre-
sent there are two patients of tender
age who are underg ing treatment for
pulmonary tuberculosis. The younger
of the two is girl aged IL, while the
other is IA. Their cases are regarded
as somewhat unusual, although pull.
monary tuberculosis among children
is by no means rare.

The fiscal year ending June S0th has
been the record year of American
shipbuilding, according to reports to
the Bureau of Navigation, and the
center of the industry is on the Great
Lakes. During the year, 1906 vessels
of $685. gross tons were built and
numbered in the United States, of
which IS steel steamers of 304. 379
gross tons were built on the Great
Lakes. The largest annual output
heretofore was in the year 1855 when
2O2 vessels of 5s3, $50 tons were built
In that year the Great Lakes built
only 1868 vessels of 40, 423 tons. This
year steel vessels built numbered 142
of AT. 167 gross tons compared with
$50, 665 tons built last year. These
two are the years of the largest steel
construction in the United States.
The tonnage built is entirely for do
nestle transportation, no vessels ex-
clusively for foreign trade having
been built in the United States. OF
the 142 vessels SO exceeded 1000 gross
tons each. 55 on the Great Lakes. the
largest being the William NJ. Mills of
7, 1862 tons and 30 on the seaboard. the
largest being the Columbia of 1873
tons, built at San Francisco for trade
to Hawaii. Four wooden sailing ves-
sells exceeding 1000 tons each were
built during the year. the largest be-
ing the Edward J. Lawrence of $3.50
