CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TAKES UP FREIGHT RATES

Last night al the meeting of the
board of directors of the Chambe of
Commerce the matter of freight rates
was taken up and the directors lis
tened to talk made by Attorney
Henry r, Rhone, who has everlasting
ly fought for lower and more reason
able freight rates for this section.
Mr.. Rhone declared that he believed
that the rates being charged for ship
ments of freight into this city are
unlawful and would be SO declared
if the case was taken before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Several illustrations were given and
the matter thoroughly discussed. 1t
was then decided to assist private
parties who were willing to help
push the cases. in getting a hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The Festival of Blossom prop
osition was taken up at the meeting
and looked upon with high favor.
The Chamber of Commerce believes
that the festival can be made a great
success if the excursion rates can be
made low enough to secure a great
attendance.
Several other matters were dis
cussed.

capitalists associated with the firm
of Yates " McLain have acquired the

company holdings in the SAN Luis

The purchase price was in the neigh

tion of the road. Progress is being
mdde every day in the permanent ar
re ngements, the making of contracts,
the securing of bids for supplies, etc.
As The Sentinel has stated previ-
ously, there is no longer any doubt
about the financial backing. The
money is at hand and the road is as
certain as any project the city has
ever had in contemplation.
There are reasons to believe that
the work on the Palisade extension
will be taken up within "A very short
time.
II is simply up to the people OF
Grand Junction now to see that no
obstacle is thrown in the way of the
early starting and the early compile
tion of the street railway.
That the railway is going to prove
one of the greatest growth develop
ers this city and valley ever secured
and that it is going to move Grand
Junction into the large-city class
more rapidly than any one thing the
city ever secured there can be no
doubt, and it is surprising that there
should he any efforts on the part of
anybody TO baekeap such Il proposi-
tion. few people for selfish rea-
railway company trouble by blocking
rights of way, advancing reasons for
doing SO that are at once absurd and
groundless. 1t is hard to reason out
how any citizen can oppose propo-
sition that is being brought into the
city by men of high standing and re-
sponsibility and who have shown ev-
cry disposition to act fairly and
squarely with the people, and which
proposition means the advancement
in value of the property interests in
the city.
Long ago in the cities throughout
the country it was proven that the
presence of passenger street car
line on any street and thoroughfare
did not and does not detract from the
value of the property on that street
or from the desirability of residing
on that street.
AS long as the company acts fairly,
as it has shown every disposition to
do, the city and the residents should
give it every support and all work
together for the rapid and great de-
of the city.
In very short time large quanti-
ties of supplies for t:Ie road will be
gin to arrive in the city.

Eugene Walter. the young play
wright who suddenly leaped into
fame last year through the instan-
taneous success of two of his plays
produced in quick succession, won
the New York critics and public by
his audacity as well as his genius
as a playwright. Audacity is the
right word, for Mr.. Walter had the
courage to come right and call his
second great play. THE Wolf"
melodrama. That is Just what it is,
and so are many of the greatest
dramatic successes of recent years,
though they are not generally so
called by their sponsors, for while
the more intellectual of theatre
goers really like melodrama, they
want it disguised under another
name. Walter made New York ad-
nit that they like melodrama under
any name. and that THE Wolf" is
one of the most worthy of melo-
dramas. 1t will be seen here We'd

Secretary Chapman had provided
printed copies of his annual report,
and this report was read with keen
interest. 1t appears in full on an
other page of this issue of The SEN
tinel. There was general satisfac-
tion expressed over the report.
Following the report, several 9TH
er matters of little general interest
were passed upon, and then the nom
nations of candidates for directors
were called for.
The making of nominations occu-
pied some time and developed a live
ly but entirely friendly interest. It
was a most harmonious crowd and
the friction that one or two men had
promised to stir up at the meeting
did not develop. IL is very evident
that the people of Mesa county are
satisfied with the manner in which
the fair has been managed.

county to be represented on the board
was called and nominations asked for
from each of these sections. The fol-
lowing nominations We're made:

lot of man to overlook many of the es-

The matter of temperature for churn-
ing is vexing question. People ask
what is the best temperature for churn-
ing. expecting definite answer. We
may say at the outset there is No best
temperature for churning cream. This
is something that must be determined
according to conditions. AS a rule it
lies between fifty and seventy-four de-
grees F.. but this is such wide range
that is really of little practical value to
churner. If we have the cream too
cold, below fifty degrees F., except in
special cases, the fat globules seems
inert, lifeless and will not come to-
gether. On the other hand, if the
cream is too warm the conditions are
similar so far as temperature is con-
cerned to those when the fat globules
were in the warm milk and they tend
to remain in liquid condition and will
not coalesce or come together.

Dairy Notes.

In some parts of the country the far
mers are forming county COW testing
organizations through which they hope
to weed out the deadhead boarders
from their herds. One small associa-
tion which conducted this work last
season found many cows which were
drones supported by others of the herd.
These have gone to the block and the
dsiry business has been put upon
more profitable basis. This should be
an incentive to every other section of
the country to take similar steps and
while on this point why would it not be
good idea to tag the owners?
The climate out here has the world
skinned to frazzle in the matter of
growing alfalfa, the greatest COW hay
on the face of the earth. One pound
of good bright alfalfa hay is worth very
nearly as much and has about the same
feeding elements as one pound of bran.
Besides this valuable alfalfa we can
grow all kinds of grain right on our own
