FOR BOOSTING CAMPAIGN
CONTINUED from page l.,

ecutiyc committee consisting of
thirtesn representative men, from
the various sections of Mesa county
will complete the plans for the or
ganization. Attorney Samuel G. Nc
Mullin. of this city, was made chair
man of this committee.
That Mesa county shall engage in
the biggest advertising campaign it
ever engaged in, that every section
shall work together. that no section
shall be sighted or neglected. was
the unanimous opinion that prevailed
last night.
Perhaps the strongest address of
the evening was delivered by C. A.
Woody, the man at the head of the
big Sunnyside irrigation project in
the Plateau valley. Mr.. Woody told
of first coming to this section. of
having visited during five years prac-
tically every big fruit section of the
United States and of having reached
the conclusion that Mesa county had
them all bested, and then he decided
to make investments in the Plateau
valley. He stated that before he ask
ed anybody TO invest he made plain
his faith in that section by securing
a u dNl VI lduu anu SDtnulHS
than 10000 in improvements there
on. He then told of interesting 9TH
ers. He took rap at some of the
methods employed in Grand Junction
by local men who, he declared at
tempted to switch everybody to this
particular section of the county and
valley. He stated that he brought a
big party here some time ago, sixteen
men in all, but that he got them out
of Grand junction and into the Plat
eau before anybody got hold of them
here.
Mr. Woody declared that many
people here apparently do not believe
that the Plateau valley is in the
Grand valley but that it is and should
be SO advertised.
Mr. Woody made sound, logical
argument as to the multitudous ad-
vantages of every section of this
county and made a plea for an al
together" pull in the work of adver-
tising this valley and county.
Then Mr.. Woody declared that If
the various sections would get to-
gether plan a general and effective
advertising campaign that he will
give $1,000 TO such an advertising
fund and will provide free office
rooms for representatives in Denver.
II is needless TO say that Mr.. Woody's
talk and especially this last an
nouncement aroused great enthus-
iasm
Addresses were made by Mr.. San
born and Editor Sherman of Palisade,
+. II. Lane and G. w. Bales of De-
Beque, Messrs. Marrick and Harrison
of Clifton. j. T. Brown of Orchard
Mesa. David Cool of Iona. Secretary
Mahony, Attorney McMullin and
number of other gentlemen All of
these addresses were of the same
tenor, that every section of the coun-
ty should join together in big ad-
vertising campaign.
II was announced that the execu-
tive committee shall meet at the
Chamber of Commerce office in this
city on next Saturday afternoon and
formulate plans.
cussed last night and it was decided
that Mesa county shall do her part
toward raising the necessary sub
scription. Already Palisade has rails
ed $3.50 for the fund for this big
show.
The meeting last night was a great
success in every way. 1t brought all
sections of the valley in close touch
and II started things to moving to-
ward campaign of reliable, wide
spread and effective publicity for
Grand Junction. Palisade. Fruita, De-
Beque and every community and sec
