DECISION EXPECTED
IN LIQUOR CASE SOON

The Sentinel is Informed this af
ternoon by its Denver correspondent
that there is a strong probability that
the state supreme court will. on
Thursday of this week, hand down
its decision in the appealed Denver
saloon case relative to the matter of
whether a city as a whole shall de-
eide the saloon question or whether
a ward or precinct may decide wheth
er it shall be wet or dry territory.
II is a question in which the people
of Grand Junction are intensely in
terested, in view of the contest now
on here to make Grand Junction n
dry town.
The case is that of a saloon-keeper
in Denver whose saloon was in pre-
cinct that voted wet, while all of the
surrounding precincts went dry
The man insisted that he had a
right to conduct his saloon as before.
in that his precinct went wet. He
was prosecuted, as it was held by the
lower courts that the ward governed
every precinct in it, regardless of
the precinct votes.

compared to the opportunities of

those forces which the thinking men
and women of today are secretly en-
ploying.
Only few days remain in which
TO consult this noted authority, and
but one more big public meeting is

ried the case TO the supreme court.
The decision rendered will govern the
election in this city. where an effort
is being made to vote the entire city
anti-saloon territory. Those favor
ing the present system of liquor sell
ing are seeking to have the vote or
precincts govern.
The supreme court of this state
has two precedents to guide it, as
Kentucky and Illinois supreme courts
have decided that the larger unit
governs, and that If a city votes it
self anti-saloon territory. every pre-
cinct in the city is governed thereby
on the other hand, the same courts
have ruled that the larger unit does
not govern in the event the larger
unit is voted wet Territory within
the larger unit in these two states
may take advantage of the vote to
become anti-saloon territory, as in
the case OF a county voting for sa-
looms, the towns therein might still
be anti-saloon territory.
In the case that Mr.. Waldrou has
carried to the supreme court of Colo
rado, the constitutionality of the law
will be attacked, in addition to the
construction of it by the lower courts.

Secretary Wilson Says Wheat
Importation Is Remote.
Material Increase i'm Production
Predicted.
NEW GRAIN is TRIED
Sixty Millions of Durum Variety
Last Year.
Doesn't Expect 1t to Sell Below
a Dollar.

Washington. Nov. 4-Some day
the steady increase of population in
the United States is bound to overtax
the ability of the farmer to provide
Tor its sustenance; but that day is
very remote, according to Secretary
wilson of the agricultural DEPART
ment.
Nor will it be necessary in the i'm
mediate future to import grain for
bread, Notwithstanding the dolefuI
predictions of some publicists. Every
thlng depends on the American far
mer,s disposition to make the most
or the resources of his land and to
improve his methods of agriculture in
accordance with the country's needs
Thes secretary is in an optimistic
mood just now and he pointed to the
crop production figures within his
reach showing the value of the Amer
lean farmers output for one single
year aggregated the enormous total
OF seven and quarter billion dollars.
The prospect for a great increase
IN the production of wheat is excel
lent in the secretary's opinion, and
Tor two reasons, first the greatly en-
hanced market value of that stapla
would surely tempt the American far
mers to plant more wheat, and sec
ond, thanks to the discovery of the
possibility of growing durum wheat
in a large part of the country. hith-
erto regarded as unavailable, there
would be a great addition to the an
nual crop total.
6O,OOO,OOO Bushels of Durum.
Last year sixty million bushels of
durum wheat were grown in the
United States and DR.. Galloway, who
is making a special study of the pos
s1bliities of this new grain, seconded
the Secretary'S view of the. situation
by interfering the remark that at 2I
stations IN the west investigators were
ascertalning the conditions best
adapted to its growth. Durum is a
siberian grain, peculiarly fit for soils
where there is but small amount of
moisture present The agricultural
department has found that it will
grow well west of the Tooth meridian
. IN the northwest, which means any,

was one of the things the secretary
had in mind when he said that better
farming methods would be required
to produce all the wheat that the
American people would need
One last question was asked the
