every train is running in sections and
coming in late at that, no little diff
fcuty is experienced in leaving town.
This grows when the big show is over
and the exodus begins in earnest And
yet as a city Washington keeps very
calm during these semi occasional
events of public inundatiOn The
local people have become used to it
and refuse to get excited. There are
actually many, many thousands Of
residents here, who hardly know that
there is an inauguration. They do not
take the trouble even to go out to see
the parade.
The Maine colony here laid plans to
take it easy, for a little, after Congress
adjourns. Those who live in hotels
have found themselves iOstled a little
in the Hobbies. The propretors are al
ways willing that such guests should
depart for home prior to March 4. if
they wish, but are not inSiStent about
it, especially with permanent patrons.
Several of the Maine delegation live
in private houses or in apartments and
have been able to exist during the
crowded hours without any particular
inconvenience. There is to be quite q
Congressional exodus. Many will inn
prove the opportunity between the adj
iournment and the extra session Of
March - for short side trips, mostly
to the South where it is warmer.
There has been q cordial welcome
this week for the Maine officials who
have come down to see the new Pre.si-
dent assume office The Senators and
Representatives. are always active in
looking out for the enjoyment of Il
Governor Of the Pine Tree State when
he comes to town. They also facilitate
as much as may be the sightseeing
trips that Maine people here want to
take The Maine visitors have not
among the advance arrivals and some
have remained for an opportunity to
meet the new President.
All the Maine Senators and Repre-
sentatives will drop around to the
White House offices in the course Of
the next three or four weeks to pay
their respects, i'll other words to make
formal call. That is expected at the
beginning of an administration, or as
soon thereafter as may be convenient
Even the Democrats do that, as a rule
and considerable of the new Presi
dents time will be occupied fOrenoons
for some weeks shaking hands with
nearly 500 congressman on these
formal errands.
Senator Hale has been to see Mr.
TAFT several times at the Boardman
residence, but that has been when Mr.
Taft asked him to come to talk over
business. Mr. Hale goes to the White
House Offices more than all tho other
members Of the Maine delegation put
together although. all in all, ne goes
less than some other Senators, parti-
cularly from the West, who run in

here frequently on slight provoca-


ton.
Because Of his position in the Senate,
Presidents often want to advise with
the Senior Maine Senator. No i'm
portant measure comes up in Congress
but what the President wants to talk
it over, at some stage with Mr.. Hale,
as with Speaker Cannon, Senator
Aldrich and a few others of the NOV
ing spirits in legislation When Mr..
Taft came here first, following his re
turn from Cuba, Senator Hale was one
of half dozen congressman to whom
the inaugural address was read and
whose advice and suggestions were
asked regarding its provisions.
Mr. Taft is very kindly disposed to-
ward New England and Maine will be
a beneficiary thereby. He said to The
writer not long ago that he looked up
on Massachusetts as nearer to him
than any other state, except Ohio be-
cause his parents had lived much in
Massachusetts, his mother had died
there, and he had visited the state
often. The new President is in reality
q Yankee. for his mother was a Boston
woman and his father a NermOnter.
He is personally acquainted with the
two Senators from Maine and with
Representatives Burleigh and Allen.
President Roosevelt spent some time
in Maine during his earlier years and
had very pleasant associations with
Maine people. President Taft has
been in the State occasionally and
during his term in the White House
hopes to go there again. He frequent
ly alludes to his visit to Bath, where
he launched his tariff revision propa-
ganda that has led up to the coming
extra session of Congress, during
which the schedules are to be revised.
He has at times contemplated
spending his summers, as President, in
Maine but prefers the Massachusetts
coast because it is not quite so far
from Washington.
Hon. Byron Boyd and his daughter
Miss Dorothy Boyd are in the city;
Major and Mrs. John w. Foglcr Of
Skowhegan are also here.
Collector Bill Sewall'' of Aroostook
came day or two ago He lunch I'd
with the President and had his photo
graphs taken with him and a large
party of prominent men at the White
House.

ALL IS READY
FOR BIG GAME

Salt Lake will not put team in
the field against the White Sox.
This decision has been finally
reached on account of the lack of
material Consequently Grand June
tion Will be the only city in the far
west, outside of California, to oppose
the National aggregation with their
own representatives.
As a substitution for such an in
teresting event, the White SoX squad
will be divided into two mines at
Salt Lake City. and an exhibition
game will be played; but the excite
ment and interest attendant upon
this contest will in no way equal
that which will be found among the
fans at the fair grounds next Thurs
day. Salt Lake may not be equal to
the occasion, but even the champions
of the United States cannot get the
best OF Grand Junction, who not only
expects to play the world beaters but
expects TO defeat them.
If you wish to witness this city's
triumph, be there Thursday.
The announcement was made this
morning that the Fair store has
agreed to close its doors from to A
pm. Thursday to attend the much
tallled-of White Sox game. Probably
not business house in the city viii
be open during the hours of the
game and, from the rapid manner in
which the tickets are selling today,
it is safe to say that the grand stand
will be too small to hold the i'm
mense crowd which will be present
that afternoon.
This afternoon the local team
again worked out. and they are
rounding into fine shape. The dia-
mond is also in good condition, and
if the weather is good, Grand June
tion people will have an opportunity
to see a game OF ball of the highest
class. As such an opportunity is
something rare in the west, no one
should pass it up.
Agent billiard each day receives
letters from the surrounding towns
asking for reservations, and if the
Grand Junction people don't wish tC
lose out in the best seats they should
not delay in making their selections

WAS GREATLY ENJOYED.

The stereopticon entertainment
given at the Seventh Day Adventist
church last night by Professor Her
bert A. owen of Honduras, assisted
by Rev. Miller, former pastor of the
Baptist church and recently from the
Philippines. was certainly most en-
ioyable.
Among the many mirthful and
meaning features might be mentioned
the comparison made of the need of
sanitariums in this country largely
for the purpose of relieving prolapsed
stomachs due to overeating, with the
crying demand for such sanitary de-
vices as the plow, drag and cultivator
to be used in developing the starved
and therefore dwarfed and shriveled
stomachs of the people of Honduras
to normal size. The people of that
republic We're represented as being
densely ignorant as to agricultural
methods. but very appreciative of
such institutions for their enlighten-
ment as the industrial school found
ed by the professor.

as via San Francisco.

ANT|-SALOON LEADERS
PLAN A GREAT WEEK

Sermons bearing upon the anti
saloon fight in this city were deliv-
cred by a number of the pastors of
the city yesterday morning, and at
the different churches all the coun-
try people present We're asked to sign
petitions calling upon the people or
Grand Junction to vote the city dry
Yesterday evening at the Park op-
era house before a large audience OF
men Attorney Thomas j. Darnell de-
livered his address entitled THE
Haywood Trial and the Mining
Camp" In this address very little
attention is given the Haywood trial
or the mining camp; but Mr.. Oar
nell draws from these two themes an
opportunity to deliver an extended
and interesting argument on prohi-
bition and temperance.
Last evening at the Methodist
church, Mr. Meyer, city editor of the
Montrose Press and one of the lead
ers to make Montrose dry town, ad-
dressed large congregation OF IA
dies. He is an interesting tall1er and
his address was we'll received. He
brought out a number of new phases
of the anti-saloon fight
It was announced yesterday at sew
eral of the churches that number
of big meetings are to be held WITHIN
the present week. In fact, the anti
saloon people propose TO make thls
the greatest week of their campaign
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Rich
ards n celebrated woman temperance
orator. will address an audience OF
women at the Park opera house, and
in the evening she will talk to
mixed congregation. She is brought
here at considerable expense. 1t is
said that the Anti-Saloon League
will pay her $3.50 for the two ad-
dresses. She is said to be most flu-
ent speaker.
On next Sunday afternoon and ey-
ening Judge Covington of Georgia
will address audiences at the PARK
opera house. He is one of the lead
ing anti-saloou and statewide pro
hibition orators and workers OF the
south
Besides these four big mass meet
ings at the Park opera house, num-
her of other meetings are to be held
during the week., including num-
Der OF meetings for children and
young people.
The anti-saloon managers here are
completing the work of getting the
people in the country to sign petit
tions to the business men of Grand
junction, urging them to vote Grand
Junction dry and setting forth that
these country people expect the cit
izens of the city to vote Grand juno
tion dry. These petitions have been
circulated in every country precinct
of the county by workers paid by the
local anti-saloon organization. These
petitions will be read to the business
men and 1t is hoped that the long
list of signatures will have the effect
of bringing every business man into
line for the anti-saloon movement.
1t is a case of the country dlstricts
directing the city as to how it shall
vote. The anti-saloon organization
homes to make this petition feature
one of the big "coups' of the cam
paign.
The anti-saloon people are sparing
no expense and have a great army OF
workers. The expenses of their cam
paign will run up TO several thousand
dollars.
