right away after Vincent had
skinned him that the statesman
from Delta must be laid away so
far as republican politics was con-

the job would be costly said that
no matter what the cost the
gentleman from Delta must be
cleaned up. Mr.. Baird was an

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY {. 7. RAwALT.


On Thursday the 9th. Edward
II. Hartman, the greatest man
ipulator of railroads the world
has ever known. passed away.
His death will provoke comment
OF many kinds. for among the
people was a wide spread opinion
that Hartman was the very devil
in disguise. but the tact is that he
never acquired new road with
out improving it and making it a
better servant OF the people. I'm
like the Rockefellers, Goulds and
their class. Hartman was a
builder and it IS very doubtful if
the world has no, lost a great
man and TO some extent at least
public benefac,or. 1t would
have been worth while to see
what he would have done had he
lived for say quarter of cen
tury longer His death will
scarcely be received with the gen.
eral regret it deserves.
Some weeks since a purported
interview with John Moore was
printed in the Denver dsilies
stating that Fruita would ship
500 cars OF Winesap apples this
season. We have watched the
Grand Junction papers earnestly
for denial on the part OF Mr..
Moore, who essays to be an
authority on all matters pertain
ing to fruit. Up to now we have
not observed any denial. II MIR.
Moore desires that story to stand
we invite our readers to carefully
watch the returns as published
later. Paonia will not ship 90 cars
OF Wineaps and she will ship
twice as many as Fruita. Delta
county will not ship 100 cars of
Wineaps and this county will
ship twice as many as Mesa.
Now there are the two statements.
John Moore has reputation and
we are starting to acquire one. In
January or February we will dis
cuss this question again.
We note with extreme surprise
that the article in a recent edition
OF the Booster anent the appoint
mcnt of census superintendent
seems to have been abortive. The
visit of Senator Guggenheim's per-
sonal representative to Delta
seems to have brought results and
late papers announce the ap
pointment of Mr.. Baird. 1t may
be stated as positive tact that

cation consists of the mastery

Work rebuilding the plant of the Se-

very rapidly. The boiler room founda-

laying brick walls has commenced.
The boiler has been set and clutch

is being done. The stills for main
building have been laid, and all the
rock necessary for cement floor has
been hauled, hundreds and hundreds
of loads. J. W. Scofield, who has the
work in charge expects to have some
of frame of main building raised this
week and the north end will be com

and shafting to be put in position and
prepared for work. The roof has been
put on single-tree and dry house build
ings. Patterns are being prepared on
the special machinery, and small or

When Starvation Threatened,

Some years ago the excursion
steamer returning from Alaska to Sc
attic discolated its propeller and came
to forced stop. For two days the
vessels engineers and machinists la
bored to repair the break, but without
success. 1t was discovered that the
ships stores were not abundant.
Alarm bred in the minds of pessim-
istic passengers, and the contagion
spread. Starvation might assail the
vessel before help arrived. A former
California official took 1t on himself
to reassure his timid companions, but
his effort was not perfectly adapted
to raise dropping spirits.
In fact, his closing sentences but
added to the gloom. Let us behave"
he said. IF the worst comes and that
dread necessity which in such misad-
ventures has met others must be faced
by us, let us remember that 1t is good
to die that our friends may live. The
one or more that may be sacrificed
will be consoled by that thought"
There was a moments silence, aw.
full in its intensity. then a cheerful
voice was heard. You should be TAX
en- first, Gov. Booth" You know the
bravest are the tenderest" And even
the terror-stricken smiled once more.
