In the great valley Of the Grand
River, on the Western Slope Of Colo
Rado, thousands Of fruit growers are
getting rich off Of five and ten-acre
tracts Of land. They work few
months each year real hard, and ma
jOrity Of them spend their winters in
.California-or 60 TO Europe. Grand
Junction is the largest town In the val.
Icy, being located near the confluence
of the Grand and Gunnison Rivers, only
a short distance from the Utah line.
Residents Of the valley leave home at
400 o'clock In the afternoon over the
Colorado Midland and are in Denver
for breakfast. Palisade, twelve miles
east Of Grand Junction, is the second
largest town In the valley.
One by one the Eastern farmers are
learning Of the advantages offered
them in Colorado, and once they are
convinced do not hesitate long in sur
rendering the big 160-acre farm back
East for the little peach and pear and
apple orchards of the Western Slope.
Tor instance, H. ]. Box of Perry, Iowa,
came to Palisade short time ago and
looked around. He saw and was con-
WINGED. A few days ago he bought a
Gix-year-old orchard of fifteen acres at
$3.50 per acre. Six years ago the
same land changed hands at $45 an
acre. The fruit trees made the differ
ence. Box's Iowa farm probably
brought $50 an acre, and his fifteen
acres will pay double that amount an
nually on each acre.
A fruit country makes a good bust
ness town. Instead Of drawing trade
from big farms scattered over a wide
territory Of 160 to 800 acres each, the

VALLEY.

have a population OF 10000 depending
upon fruit alone within q few years.
Chance for the Poor Man.
Ten acres, the fruit men say, will
make q man rich. This is all one man
can care for, and as the acreage under
one control is increased, 1t is claimed,
the productiveness must necessarily
be less from lack Of individual atten.
ton, or course, all men do not hold
to the same theory. Werner q. Reed,
the Colorado Springs millionaire, put
out 1000 acres to fruit on the Western
Slope last year. w. B. Cross OF Den
yer, who was and still Is interested IN
the shoe business there, has recently
moved to the Grand Valley, where he
has planted 240 acres in fruit-apples,
peaches, pears and cherries. He has
one of the most magnificent ranches
on the slope, on q high level stretch
Of ground, commanding a view OF miles,
and with an ideal home. His is a
new orchard-240 acres. In a few
years at the estimate usually INDUCED
in at Grand Junction, his farm will be
producing an income Of nearly $4,000
annually.
The poor man has the same chance
with the man who can buy hundreds
Of acres-better. For he can produce
more fruit to the acre than the man
or corporation with the big acreage.
Ten acres is the average sized fruit
ranch in the valley. Many are but five
acres, while one acre suffices IN many
cases for the man who lives In town,
In Palisade are many homes with the
average yard, where sufficient fruit Is
produced to pay the living expenses Of
the family. In Grand Junction the
fruit trees within the city are few. In

Palisade the reverse Is true. A mile
and a half from Palisade is big coun-
try school house with six rooms.
Three hundred students attend the
school, which may give an idea Of the
density of the population.
The fruit industry in Grand Valley
is conducted on a business basis. The
farmers early learned the advantages
of cooperation.
The fruit growers organizations
market the entire crop. The usual frie:
ton between farmer and commission
man Is thus eliminated. The fruit
growers association arranges for the
shipments cyst and west and to Eu.
rope. It takes entire charge Of the
crop once 1t is ready for market. The
grower need nat bother bis head after
he gets his fruit packed. The assecia,
ton does the rest, thus giving the
grower the advantage Of carload rates
in shipment, the profit of the best
prices and also the assurance of q
steady market.

SENTINEL BUTTE

From the Republican, March, 10.
Several emigrant cars have ar
rived his week, among which are
one Of Gust C. Nelson, from Deer
brook, Wisconsin, who is building
on the section adjoining Charley
Gilbert's homestead on the west;
and that of M. T. Chase, from An
tigo, Wisconsin, who has home
stead out near Stoddard's ranch.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Boyer re-
turned last "Wednesday from their
winters visit in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Boyer says there was practical
ly no winter back there-and from
appearances all conditions must
have been favorable, as he and
Mrs. Boyer each gained about Is
pounds. Their friends back there
must have been glad to see them
to say the least.
Chas. Ash, accompanied by his
father, returned this week from a
winters trip through the west.
From here Mr.. Ash went last fall
to Sioux Falls, S. D., and there
took southern route west, visit
ing Colorado, Idaho, California,
Oregon and Washington, stopping
for a time in each state. He says
the trip was we'll worth taking and
was very pleasant one-but for a
place to make the good old coin of
the realm, he did not see a parallel
to our own state.
A deal was this week consum-
mated whereby Jay w. Brown be-
came the owner of the j. j. Bart
ley store here, and has already TAX
en- possession. Mr.. BARLEY will
at once move his family to Beach
where he will superintend the erec-
tion of his new store building at
that place. Mr.. Brown has been a
resident of Billings county so much
longer than most of us that he
needs no introduction and we anti
cipate that he will enjoy a nice
business in his new line. Mr..
Brown is making arrangements to
put in furniture in the back rooms
of the store, which are now occu-
pied by Mr.. BARLEY as living
rooms; and will fix up the upper
story of the building to live in.

The Star Farmer is in receipt of
a circular letter from the third
assistant postmaster general solicit
ting orders for printing envelopes.
They are sent free to every bus
mess man because the government
owns the mails and in this respect
has considerable advantage over
the mail order house. Looking at
it from the standpoint of printer
it seems a small business for big
government like ours that has be-
gun the work of letting combines
and trusts know that there is God
in Iseral. The price they ask for
printing would make Chinaman

sands of printers who are struggl-

no show against combination of
