MONTROSE. COLO, Sept. %
President Taft passed the day on the
western slope of the Rocky Noun
taius and amid-a succession of scenes
typical OF the great western country
Late this afternoon Mr. Taft stood
on the brink of the deepest irrigation
ditch in all the west, and in the foot
hills with not a settlement in sighs
made the electrical connection which
started a flow of water through the
Gunnison tunnel that will reclaim 140,-
600 acres of arid lands. 1t was the
setting in operation of the greatest ir-
rigation project the United States
government ever has undertaken and
the opening was made the occasion of
a joyous celebration throughout the
valley OF Uncompahgre
Touch of Western Life.
Before travelling out to the west
port IF the tunnel on little mar
row GIage train the President visit
ed the Montrose county fair and after
some formal speechmaking in which
he and the mayor and the governor
and several others participated he
vas given a heal touch of western life
"a real raceNo of COW girls.
The racing was arranged especial
" in honor OF the President and was
novel and exciting affair. A girl OF 16
was matched against two older riders
and carrying the sympathy OF the
crowd with her won the two and
half mile race with three changes OF
horses by almost a quarter of mile.
During his travels today the President
had ample opportunity to study the
effect of irrigation. For a long time
mis- train would run through stretches
of country where as far as the eye
could reach the only vegetation in.
sight consisted of a few greasewooo
bushes or sage brush. Then out OF
a rocky canon the train would sud-
denly rush upon veritable oasis where
waving green fields of alfalfa and
miles of orchards with trees laden
with fruit told of the miracle wrought
By the touch Of water.
Visit to Country Fair.
At Grand Junction and here at
N0ntrose, also, the President visit
ed the fruit exhibits of the country
fairs and was told the almost unbe-
iievable story of the seasons yield.
Enormous peaches, apples, pears.
plums. yari-colored grapes and al
most every other known fruit as well
as enormous samples of the vegetable
growth of the district, were shown to
the President.
Sheriff Knocks Man Down.
But one little incident marred the
Presidents visit and that was at the
conclusion Of the tunnel opening this
evening when one of the Colorado
sheriffs, who have accompanied the
President across the state. got into an
alteration with RI. l.. Daniels, super
intendent of the tunnel, when the lat
ter was about to shake hands with
the President Mr.. Daniels was
Knocked down and for a time trouble
was brewing as his friends were
quick to resent the action.
The Presiden; heard the quarreling
and stopped for a moment as he was
making his way 20 the train. He was
told there was nothing serious. how
ever, and proceeded.

expected that at least four schools VIII
send four teams. Orange will enter
its best players, as will Huntington

ange will be represented by clayton

Pine in the singles.
Owing to the fact that none of these
schools have many women players
there will be no May for girl students
Orange high school is expected to car
ry away honors, as it is conceded TO
have the best players in the mems de-
partment, although Anaheim will give
the orange players a hard run FOR
honors. as several fast players are
connected with that institution.
Fullerton, although running third IN
the last tournament, has shown great
Improvement and no doubt will be a
strong factor for racquet honors.
Clayton is a brilliant, cratic con-
testant who has the qualities of being
a fast player, but during the past few

MONROWIA CONFIDENT
OF WINNING REMNANT
FoothilI Nine Will Contest with Comp
ton for Championship of Subur=
ban Division of Interscho-
Iastic League

Monrovia high school will play
Compton high school next Saturday on
the Oxy diamond for the championship
of the interscholastic baseball subur-
ban division. The game promises to
be one of the best played this season,
as both Compton and Monrovia have
been playing first-class ball
Notwithstanding the fact that
Compton defeated eMonrovia few
weeks ago by the score of 2 to 1, all
of the Monrovia fans say they will
carry off the honors.
Compton scored both of her runs in
the first inning. two men crossing the
plate on a wild throw by one of the
foothill players.
Marked improvement has been made
by the Monrovia team during the last
few weeks. especially in their stick
work, which, in the opinion of many,
has improved considerably.
A large silk banner will be awarded
the team winning Saturdays game.
Monrovia carried off the trophy last
season and feels reasonably confident
of repeating the performance. A large
delegation of Monro7ia fans and root
ers will accompany their team to the
Occidental campus.
Following will be Monrovia's lineup:
Crandal, pitcher: Cheney. catcher;
Harvey, first base; Boyd, second base;
Shepard. shortstop Renaker, third
base; Dismukes. right field, Brown,
center field; Schultz. left field.
