In a publication hereabouts,
used chiefly for domestic purposes
and circulated gratuitously, We
observe little item stating that
the janitor of the posto6ice depart
ment had never before heard of
the editor of this paper, in connec-
tion with Holly's new postoffice.
In the same breath the good
name of Postmaster McCreery is
embroilod in the meshes. remind
ing one of the fistic doings at a
Donnybrook fair, where "a 24-foot
ring and mitts are furnished all

Creery, to our mind, has always
represented the highest ideal in
Colorado's seasoned" bunch of
politicians, and to thus allow him.
self (although he may not have
sanctioned ,it), to become the cats
paw of the Coolidge peddler of
peanut politics, is beyond our
comprehension.
AS to whom the glory belongs
for out new postottice, the post
master and Mr.. Duncan are en-
titled to a great deal of credit,
while The Holly Chieftain did
more than newspapers share in
separating a United States post
office from Joint in which
gambling devices were constantly
poerated.
Further, this paper does not
claim any acquaintance with
Uncle Sans janitor~. or book
keepers in the various shooting
galleries, as does our friend The

removal of an eLtire lumber yard

another one, says that mt the end
of two years and six months afore-
said lumber company, ont of the
profits earned, had enough money
left to buy chewing gum for the

The Frsneh,nan Locked lnnoeent.

The frenohn1an Looked Innocent.
Some time since, in a fremont street
store in Boston, a nervous little
Frenchman brushed against pretty
trifle Of vase ware valued at about
81 and succeeded in getting several
score more pieces out Of it than had
gone into its making. The foorwalker
led the abashed Partisan aside and
politely explained that the broken vase
must be paid for. Monsieur fetched a
handful Of small silver and copper,
mostly foreign, from his pocket when
he was told the value Of the trifle.
Mon Dieu," cried the Partisan, go
francs! At this he took out his bill
book and discovered fifty dollar ex-
press draft. which the foorwalker in
stantly seized upon, to the unspeak.
able horror of its owner.
After deducting the value Of the
vase the former handed the man his
change and dismissed him with a floor
walkers blessing. The express draft
reached the bank in due time, with
four others as fraudulent, but the vol

The oldest known letter written on

Of his poems of 'the sable bordered
sheet" as messenger of sorrow.
Mann, writing from Italy to Horace
Walpole in 1745, says that it was uni
versally used in Florence at that time.
The superior elegance Of this Italian
note paper, with Its narrow margin of
black. explains its ready acceptance in
this country. where it superseded the
quarto sheet with black border some
times quarter Of an inch wide. In
this way it probably gave an impetus
to the fashion. But 1t is mistake to
suppose, as some have done, that the
fashion was introduced from Italy,

CITY HAS INNING TODAY IN THE
VI WATER CASE.
tContinued from FIRST Page.)

Among those who testified today
were George Smith. William Milne,
E. r. Heflin, Charles E. Cherrington,
and several other Grand Junction cit
liens who are familiar with land
values in nearly every portion of the
valley and it is said that if necessary
great many more local realty men
and citizens will be called to the
stand by the city.
Mr.. Cherrington was on the stand
probably longer than any one of the
| other witnesses called today. Mr.
Cherrington gave much information
as to land values in various sections
OF the county, as to the different
conditions of soil or cultivation under
which lands in this county are more
or less valuable. 1t is well known
that Hannah Greek lands are mainly
alfalfa lands, devoted to big alfalfa
fields and as result the value of
such lands was made the principal
point of the testimony. Mr.. Cher
| rington, without being asked directly
about Hannah Greek lands. declared
that the normal values of alfalfa
| lands, with good stands of alfalfa in
this valley are from 500 to 5000 per
| acre, often not as high, occasionally
some higher.
The attorneys for the Hannah
Greek ranchmen endeavored to get
Mr.. Cherrington to admit that lands
set TO alfalfa would be much more
valuable as fruit lands but Mr.. Cher
rington insisted that before that
could be answered 1t must be proven
that these lands were productive as
fruit lands.
Mr.. Cherrington was closely que5-
toned about relative land values un-
der the High Line canal. the Grand
Valley canal, and about many other
phases of the land question. He and
other witnesses also testified to the
effect that about six months in the
year irrigation was not necessary in
this valley.
Mr.. Cherrington and all other wit
nesses were subjected to a very close
cross-eXamination by Attorney Goudy
and Attorney Hayt for the Hannah
Creek ranchmen.
Mr.. Cherrington and nearly all of
the other witnesses made il plain
that they had very accurate idea of
land values throughout the valley,
among them being the Hannah Creek
lands. They told of sales made in
lldl uiSNllt anu vi lilt dCItdSt
running from'$50 to 800 and $3.50.
None of the witnesses placed the
average value of the Hannah Creek
lands higher than $3.50 to 5000 per
acre, and some would not place 1t
that high in any case.
Attorneys Miller, Griffith and Lo-
gan for the city certainly scored well
today. The evidence was very con-
elusive and was given in manifest
ly sincere and honest manner.
