That the Colorado National Apple
exposition, TO he held in Denver the
| first week in January. will do more
than any exhibition or fair ever held
in the state to bring to the attention
OF the entire country the growing inn
! portance' OF Colorado as a fruit and
agricultural state was the unanimous
opinion expressed by all speakers at
the dinner given at the Traffic Club
last night to the officers and advisory
board of the exhibition.
5. G.. McMullin. the chairman Of
the advisory board. said yesterday:
The Grand valley will ship this
year 1000 cars of the finest apples
grown in the world, each car con-
tanning 504 boxes, which will sell in
the market at from SIPS to S220
each.
Still fewer people know that Col
orado's Jonathan. Rome Beauty.
Grimes Golden and other choice vari-
eties command higher prices than any
other apples produced, that Colorado
Bartlett pears sell for 20 per cent
more than the same variety grown
any place else in the country: tina:
Colorado Elberta peaches bring 25
cents box more than Elberta peach
es grown elsewhere.
These are only some of the things
we hope to bring home to the people
of the entire country at the Apple
show in Denver.
There is no sentiment in our part
of the country against Denver. We
are working for the upbuilding of the
entire state. And we want the peo-
pie of Denver to feel that we are all
working for the entire state. and that
the growth of Denver depends as ma
terially upon the growth of the west
ern slope as that of the western slope
depends upon Denver
c. X. Root. the president of the
exposition, presided at the meeting
last night and explained that the ad-
visory board is outlining the program
for the show and will make final ar
rangements. He explained that the
board will today take up the advis-
ability of having potato exhibit at
the show, which has been strongly
recommended from the potato produc-
ing sections of the state
The board will meet again today.
Among those attending are S. G. Nc
Mullin, j. +. Moore. A. H. Davis and
Clyde Smith, Grand Junction: Chas.
Easley, Golden; DR.. T. Tichenor, Ri
tie; A. NJ. Niles, Olathe: c. Il. Rule

There is much encouragement to
the advocates of the High Line prof
ect as result of the recent visit of
President Taft and Secretary Ballin-
ger to the Grand valley There is no
doubt bat the presidents eyes have
been opened to the arid and bare con
dition of our lands in the natural
state and the wonderful transforma-
tion which water will accomplish
when brought in touch with this APP
parently worthless land It is also
believed that the president has been
made to see,'in way he never saw
before, the obligation of the govern
ment toward the people of the Grand
valley by reason of the assurances of
Secretary Garfield and the contract
entered into by the former cabinet
officer and the Water Users associa-
tion. From the events of the past
| week and what has been said by the
president and Secretary Ballinger
| concerning the High Line the people
| interested surely have reason to feel
encouraged and to hope for speedy
| resumption of work on the High
Line.--Glenwood Post
