FRIDAY, DEG. 10TH, 1909

A Chicago paper makes a sum-
mary of the deer hunting fatalit-
les of the year, stating that eighty
seven men have been killed and SO
injured in that kind of sport in
the past month, which covers the
hunting season. Possibly the
number of deer killed was slightly
greater, but the game seems hard
ly worth the candle, says the
Tribune. North Dakota contrib
utes its share to the list of injuries.
half a dozen hunters being shot
and wounded while hunting. For
a number Of years past suggestions
have been made as to means to
avert the possibility of accidents,
but none of them seem to be ef-
fective. The best thing to do is
to stay out of the woods for a few
years. In the meantime the
number Of deer might increase, a
good many widows and orphans
would be spared the anguish of
widowhood and orphanage, and
nobody in particular would be the
loser except tthe physicians, and
they would no doubt cheerfully
forego what financial increment
comes to them through the hasty
shooting of some fiddle Drained
shooter with a hair trigger.

GAINS GREATEST CHANGES.
Cheapest and Best Irrigated Land in
America Now Open-Climate
Ideal; Soil Rich.

Never in the history OF the recla-
nation of land, either by the gov
ernment or by private enterprise, has
such an opportunity been offered the
man of limited capital as is offered
today in the Orient tract in Pecos
valley. Texas.
In the first place the irrigation
system of canal and reservoir now
building would have cost untold
thousands of dollars more, had not
Stature left n natural reservoir ready
for use. This enables this company
to c.fer it's land at a price much
lower than would be possible other
wise.
Thc climate is ideal both for hcaltu
and for crops; the soil is made up Of
centuries accumulation OF fertility
the water-supply is ineNhaustible
and the possibility of crop failure
is absolutely nil.
In addition TO all that the oppp.-
tunity Is Offered every man 20 set
there ahead of the railroads and gel
the advantage of the inevitable ad-
vances.

MoNTRoSE FRUIT MEN
HAVE HAD A GOOD YEAR
[ Special TO The Sentinel. ]

Montrose. March 1.-THE Mon
trose Fruit and Produce association
held their annual meeting at the Of
flee of the association and elected
the following directors: r. Butter
field, j. j. Ross. Erick Anderson. E.
r. Young. Il. L. Carter, H. r. Spen-
Ger and A. N. Blessing. The directors
then elected officers as follows; r.
Butterfield, president; 70. r. Young.
,vice-presideut; A. n. Blessing, secre-
tary and treasurer.
Considered as a whole the assoc
iation has had a good year. While
they suffered the loss of their build
ing by fire and were thus thrown out
of com mission for period of three
months, the former building has been
replaced by fine brick structure
much larger and better than the one
destroyed and President Butterfield
says the association is in better shape
now than at any time in its history.
The business under the efficient
management of ]. F. Kyle has been
all that could he desired. The assoc
iation has handled a large amount of
fruit and produce durt1g the season
to good advantage, There has been
no trouble to dispose of all the stuff
which has come into their hands at
good prices in proportion to the quail
ity of output. Up to the present time
the association has sent out 2l5 cars
of apples and 90 cars of potatoes in
carload lots alone.

This statement which Is author
ative, making provisions of
course for unexpected delay, was
made to The Sentinel today by
the railway officials.
Thirty men equipped with new and
the best obtainable tools will in the
morning begin tearing up South
avenue from Fifth street west This
is a movement toward which the
whole city has been looking and the
long period of waiting for the buzz
ing cars which. with what amounts
to ten minute service. will give
Grand Junction the appearance of n
hustling little city, will have ended.
for the shortest portion of the build
ing of a public enterprise of this ma
ture. is after the actual construction
work begins.
The Sentinel is also glad to an
nounce that it can correct a false
statement, which in some way came
to be current, THAT the Electric Rail-
way company had imported a large
gang of Greeks under contract to lay
the rails When questioned upon
this in the construction office, this
afternoon. the officials expressed
surprise and stated that they had not
even heard the report. A squib from
the morning paper was then shown
to them, but they stated it was en-
tirely wrong but was probably due
to some misunderstanding. Con-
struction Engineer Allan said, No,
there are plenty of worthy idle men
in this city to build the line and
wouldn't think for moment of ship
ping in a lot of foreigners"
The contract for the first grading
has also been let. Mr.. G. G. Boyer
was the successful bidder. He will
do all of the grading on Second.
Main, South and Gunnison.
The track work will be done en-
tirely by the railroad company under
the foremanship of Mr.. Ed. Cogan.
The pole and overhead work is in the
hands of an expert, Mr.. Geo. Mich
laus, of Colorado Springs. City En-
gineer O'Malley has accepted posi-
ton with the car line company and
all of the instrun elt work win be
under his supervision.
In laying the track. for each tie a
trench a foot deep and 9 feet long
will be dug The top of the ball OF
the rail will be flush with the grade
of the street, making the top of the
ties about four inches under ground.
