miss Skinner Wins at Fruita
|Other Contests Nearing Close
mHROTGHOUT

n THROUGHOUT the
western slope coun-
I try today interest
in a number of contests
in which young ladies
are to be selected to
represent their respec-
tive sections down at
the Great National APP
pie Show in Denver
and to compete for the
royal honors of Apple
Queen, is at fever heat.
Last night at Fruita
there closed the most
exciting contest of its
kind ever held in the
lower valley and one of
the most exciting ever
held in the state. The
interest manifested was
remarkable and the
manner in which votes
piled up is certainly
startling. 1t is doubt
full If any of the sim
liar contests over the
state the winner will
poll a heavier vote
than did the winner in
the Fruita contest. In
all over 10000 votes
were cast.
A number of the
most popular girls of
the lower valley were
in the race.
When the last count
was made it was found
that Miss Mabel Skin
ner, the pretty daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. d.
]. Skinner, had $4,000
votes to her credit,
while Miss Emma Dali
ley came in second
with 41.000 cotes to
her credit. She is the
daughter of Joe Daley,
a prominent cattleman
of the lower valley.
Miss Skinner will go
TO Denver as Fruita's
representative, and
Fruita may well be
proud Of her. The

INCREASE TAX RATE
FLORENCE CITY COUNCIL MAKES
 REQUEST OF GOVERNOR.
He is Asked to Include in Call fer Extra Session . Submission to
 People of . COnstttu- tfOna1 Amendment.

Florence, June 9.--(Special.) )--At 6he first June meeting of the City Council held last night, the Council, at the suggestion of City Attorney Paul Hodges, passed resolution requesting Governor Conner to include in his call for special session of the Legisia- ture, a submission to the people of . constitutional amendment, authorizing municipalities that do not at present have over a 60-cent tax rate. to in. crease the rate to $1.
 The rate for Florence Is 50 cents. and has proved inadequate to run the city The floating debt Is steadily inereas' ing, and in addition to that, all street sidewalk and sewer improvement has been assessed against the abuttine property owners, making the burden very heavy.
 The attorneys for the purchasers of the city bonds having suggested some doubt as to the authority of the city to fund its floating debt, the Council at the suggestion of Mir. Hodges, pass ed another resolution requesting the Governor to include in the call such legislation as will remedy the defect the law to include all municipalities having a floating debt. It is under stood that Governor Conner is in favor of such a measure.
 The City Attorney reported that he had examined the charter of the Flor ence Water Company, and had found nothing which would authorize the city to compel the company to filter the water. The water has much of the time been unfit for drinking purposes, and the City Attorney suggested that only remedy was a return to cis- tern water. The Mineral Belt Railway was granted an extension of its fran chise six months from July [.
