Not only in the line of building i'm
provement but in every other line
of development has Grand Junction
and the Grand valley grown and
prospereS ring the good year of
1908. T. year that has come,
worked out its career and passed on
to take its niche in the sepulchre OF
the Past has witnessed greater and
grander growth in Grand junction
and the Grand valley than was wit
messed the year before.
Surely every citizen of this fav-
ored and beautiful valley has every
reason to be proud of the showing
made by the city and valley during
the year that died yesterday.
After reading the summary of the
building growth of the city published
in this issue it would not be neces-
sary for the most pessimistic or
skeptical Individual to call for fur
-ther information or further arguL- ent
to prove t. him that Grand Junction
and the surrounding country, is
growing by mighty strides. How
ever, it is not out of the way today,
as we stand on the threshold of the
new year. a year that is certain to un-
fold mighty things for us, to refer
briefly to the evidences of growth,
other than the building growth, that
are to be seen on every hand.
100000 Paid Out For Becs X
Only this week the Grand Jun ;Iion
sugar factory closed its run for the
present season after handling 10000
tons of sugar beets for which the
growers were paid 100000. About
100000 sacks of sugar were manu-
featured. Something like 100000
was paid out in wages during the
factory's run. 1t was one of the
best years the sugar factory has ever
enjoyed and was a most satisfactory
year for the growers. The acreage
planted to beets this year was very
large. The sugar factory is one of
Grand functions greatest Industrial
plants and the beet growing is one of
our greatest industries.

that the section ever enjoyed when
viewed from fruit stand point
owing to the fact that most unusual
and deplorable series of weather con-
ditions in the early spring caused
heavy losses throughout the valley, to
the fruit grower Still total of
something like 100000 in cash will
be paid ont by the various fruit
growers associations to the growers
for fruit shipped during this season.
Had their been no frosts at least a
million and a half dollars worth of
fruit would have been shipped out.
However, a great lesson of everlast-
ing value was learned by the growers
as a result of the frosts this season.
They found out through the practical
and absolutely successful experiments
of some of the growers that this val
ley need never loose fruit crop
again if ''smudging" or orchard
heating" is employed. AS a result
the system has been gotten down to
fine point, hundreds of thousands
of "smudge pots" are being manu-
factured and If the frosts come next
spring they will meet opposition that
will overcome their direful influence.
