Smashing all records, as predicted
by The Sentinel last week, the regis
tration of voters for the coming mu-
nicipal election in Grand Junction Is
the heaviest ever known in the city.
1t was IL O'Clock Saturday night
when County Clerk Starr, Deputy
Steel and Deputy Knowles closed the
books of the different wards and for
mally brought the period OF registra-
tion to an end. The office was kept
open late Saturday night to accom-.
modate many citizens who were yet
unregistered. All parties registered
a great numIer of men and women
during these last hours.
The clerk and his deputies were OF
the one opinion Saturday that the
registration would break all previous
local records.
Deputy Clerk c. C. Knowles ran
over the books of the five wards yes
terday and he found that the grand
total of men and women now legally
qualified to vote in ~the municipal
election on April 6 is 4,1Ol, or more
than 700 in excess of the total OF any
registration in the past. The IN
crease is nothing short of remarka-
BILE.
Last November occurred nation
al. state and county election, and on
no eleo ton occasion is interest sup
posed to be as intense or voters sup
posed to be so greatly interested as
when national, state and county OIL
GERS are to be elected, and the inter
est was almost at white heat in the
city last November, too; yet, when

A railroad will be built into the
Plateau country.
Whether it will be an electric or
steam road. is an undetermined mat
ter.
r. p. Davie. president and general
manager of the Sugar company, and
party of capitalists were in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Davie made this
statement to The Sentinel in sub
stance:
I'VE have decided that for the fu-
ture that we must get our beets
grown to a large extent in the Plateau
valley. We can hardly expect any
great acreage in this valley over the
territory contiguous to our factory and
find that the Plateau country is the
ideal place to have our beets grown.
with that idea | went to Mr.. c. II.
Schlacks, vice president and general
manager of the Rio Grande road and
put the proposition up to him. He
said to me that If the people of the
Plateau country would subscribe S25,-
900 and secure for them the right of
way to Collbran, that the Rio Grande
road would build into that valley.
Il told him that the sugar company
would subscribe $4,000 of the $25,-.
900 asked for and that | would give
personally $500 of the 5000 neces-
sary to place man in the field to
secure the right of way, II the Plat
eau people would furnish the other
part of the $500.
81 have placed the matter before
Mr. Porter. of the Collbran board of
trade and he promises that there will

the registration books closed at the
county clerks Office for the November
election, 1t was found that the grand
total of citizens legally registered to
vote in Grand Junction at that cleo
tion was 3,420. That was the rec
ord total in the history of the city
II was over 400 names greater than
any registration previous to that
time. Yet, within a period of less
than FIVE months, this record is ex-
ceeded by a total of more than 700.
1t means that, in spite of the desper-
ate efforts to get everybody entitled
to do so registered last fall, several
hundred failed to register. IL also
means that scores of newcomers who
were not entitled to register last fall
were legally qualified to do so this
spring.
That the interest las Deen and is
intense is proven by the statement
of the men in the clerks office to the
effect that during the past few weeks
many men and women who have new
err voted before. but who have been
entitled to do so and have resided
here for years. have registered and
are determined to vote in the coming
election.
An examination of the books re-
veals some very interesting facts;
The heaviest gains in registration
are made in the Second and Fourth
wards. with the First ward coming
next. The east and west portions OF
the Third ward do not show heavy
rains; but there were not so many
unregistered citizens in the east and

I'VE have no preference as to the
road, whether ii shall be steam or

have the Grand junction and Grand
river valley electric line run into the
Plateau country and perhaps they
will. We shall make the same proposi-
tion TO them, great many of my
friends are connected with the electric
line in this city and should of course
prefer them, if they would build"
So it will be seen that the long eN-
pected road is almost within the
grasp of the hands of the Plateau
people The raising of s25. 900

the railroad.
Mr. Davie assured The Sentinel
that Mr.. Schlacks made an unqualifi-
ed statement and the conditions
named by him. as to what he would
expect from the Plateau people, was
given without reservation.
The matter is now up to the peo-
pie of the Plateau country to get busy
and either contract for electric or
steam railroad connection.

The message makes no specifica-
tion of the measures referred to. The
governor knows full we'll that the
members know of what messages he
speaks. They include the direct pri-
mary law, laws providing for rail-
road commission after improved
plans, the Australian ballot, public
service commission, the bank guar
anty and good roads. But thirteen
executive days remain of the present
session. The governor emphatically
scores the members of his party for
failure to live up to platform prom
ises and expresses an opinion that
members who don't see their way
clear to vote for bills intended to
carry out party pledges they should
resign at once.
The message was expected yet it
created a big sensation in legislative
and political circles and is the lead
ing topic of comment in Denver to-
day The message is brief, the leg
islators called ii Taft-like because of
its briefness, but it makes up in force
and emphasis what IL lacks in length.
The governor does not mince words
and he shows that he is determined to
have the legislature keep its pledges
to the people.

senate it was greeted with laughter

to make the first announcement that
