A Signal Success.


Praise too high could not be be-
slowed upon the result OF the benefit
undertaking at the Auditorium last
night II was dance which will be
long remembered and which was one
of the most splendid successes ever
undertaken in this city. From a fl
nancial standpoint il was decidedly
successful and as to how successful
il was from a social standpoint is
only measured by the glowing words
of praise from the unanimous lips of
the several hundred who were pres
.ent, who are a unit in stating that the
occasion last night was the most en-
ioyable one which It has ever been
their good fortune to attend.
The music furnished by Prof Boy
er's orchestra was in itself of such a
class as TO make the affair an un-
qualified success and this combined
with every other commendable fea-
ture OF the evening resulted in an
evenings entertainment which 1t Is
safe to say will not soon be forgotten.
The hall was as well filled as il
could possibly be and yet make dane
ing a pleasure. the floor was in fine
shape and the sociability unexcelled.
There were eighteen numbers on the
with four extras were carried out.
One of the most flattering endorse
ments of the affair was that when
dancing stopped after midnight there
was no perceptible decrease in the
crowd In the hall. Much credit is due
the committee who had charge of the
arrangements as IL was a credit to
them in every way.

Ready With solution.

Being brought face TO face with the
question propounded by Mr. LeClere,
the Cliftonites, with their character
istic readiness for any emergency
sprung the solution as soon as the
speaker had resumed his seat.
In brief the idea is for the land
owners who are not directly on the
line but who will be benefited almost
equally with the others to provide a
fund by voluntarily assessing them
selves at the rate of s. an acre for
their holdings, and with the money
thus raised purchase the land over
which a right-of-way is refused. grant
the desired concession, and hold it for
speculative purposes. This pool idea
caught on" at once and spontaneous
offers to contribute poured in, the list
being given great impetus by the sub
scription Of Mr., Jaquith of $500 for
the purpose.
This was followed by talk by Il.
p. Shellenberger, formerly in bust
ness in Grand Junction but now an
orchardist, urging cooperation be-
tween the two commercial organiza-
tions in securing the right-of-way.

Psychological Moment.

This was what might be termed the
psychological moment" and George
f. LeClere was prompt to seize the
occasion with one of the most approp-
rite questions of the evening He
declared that it was apparent that
nine-tenths of the land owners along
the proposed right-of-way were in
favor of the road. But" said he.
what are you going to do about the
other tenth? What will you do with
a man who says he wont give a right
of-way. wont set a figure on the strip
desired and positively balks at every
proposition made to him? / believe
such a man is a hog in the strongest
sense of the term. But we cannot
dispose of him as we would il he
were of the four-legged variety. He
must be gotten out of the way. but
the question is how are we going to
do it. q"
Mr.. LeClere referred humorously
and with biting sarcasm to the man
who would stand in the way. not only
of his own progress, but in the way
of his neighbor's advancement and
best interests. His remarks were
highly appreciated and frequently
punctuated with laughter as his hear
ers listened to his pointed references

McNIullin's Great Address.

Outside of Mr. Curtin's announce
ment the strongest speech of the ev-
.ening was the stirring appeal made
by Hon. S. G. McMullin. who, as he
said. appeared merely as booster
In glowing terms he pictured the ad-
vantages of interurban communica-
tion. dwelling not so much on the
actual pecuniary benefits, which he
briefly and pointedly set forth, but
on the more esthetic side of the ques-
ton. He declared that true happi-
ness is not found in isolation but in
proximity to other communities and
the outside world. 1t brings the
benefits of metropolitan culture and
pleasure to the rural resident without
the expense of maintenance which
falls upon the shoulders of the city
dweller.
Mr.. McMullm declared that the
clang of the trolley car gong sounded
the accomplishment of an ambition
of lifetime. He strongly eulogized
those citizens who had unfalteringly
pushed ahead in the work of secur-
ing the street railway for Grand juno
tion despite discouragements and lack
of universal support. The extension
of the interurban lines. he said, would
mark the greatest epoch in the his
tory of the valley at large and the
various communities comprising 1t In
particular. He made profound inn
preston on the audience.
