$3.50, 900 FOR FRUIT IN
THE GRAND VALLEY

GRAND JUNCTION, Jan. 17.-Pay
ing out $35O,OOO to Grand valley fruit
growers, and 100000 to fruit growers
from eastern Utah, who ship their fruit
through the local association, and in
addition doing a commission and retail
business amounting to $4,000, is the
record of the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association for last year
In spite of the fact that this valley
suffered the loss of the bulk of IS
fruit crop, owing to killing frosts last
spring, 423 cars of fruit were shipped
out of this city to practically every
state and territory in the union.
This is the substance of the report
of the association, made annually, and
which was given out today. A meeting
has been called of the stockholders, at
which the capital stock of the associa-
tion will be increased from 100000 to
$250,OOO.

KILLED IN CARDIFF YARD

James Burke, brakeman employed
killed in the yard at Cardiff last Tues
day afternoon, while engaged in making
up the freight. He was working on the
head end, next to the engine, when his
foot caught in frog, and before he
could extricate himself, the heavy en-.
gine struck him, knocking him down,
and cutting him to pieces. The torso
was severed completely and both arms
were taken off just below the shoulders.
Burke was unmarried, 26 years of age,
and was well thought of around Cardiff,
where he was well known. The re-
mains were shipped to the home of a
brother in Nevada, Ohio.

PUEBLO STEEL PLANT
H1RLoYs 1000 MEN

True to all predictions, prosperity Is
gradually replacing the business stag
nation that rendered 1908 30 disagree
ably notable. On the heels of the op-
ening of several large eastern indus
tries and the consequent employment Of
large numbers of idle men, comes the
news that the steel plant at Pueblo has
resumed operations with force of
1000 men. The following, from the
Pueblo "Star-Journsl," proves con-
clusively that business is on the up
grade in this section of the west:
"The week has been busy one at
the steel plant, and the output of pro-
ducts has been large. In all depart
ments activity has prevailed and the
full force of men has been kept at
work. All the steel which can be turn
ed out with present facilities Of the
plant is needed in the rail mill, mer-
chant mill, rod mill, and other depart
ments.
There is plenty of work ahead for the
plant. and with more steel, more work
could be turned out as there are plenty
of orders for execution. The fact that
every pound of steel manufactured is
being used as fast as made has given
rumors that six new open hearth furn-
aces were to be constructed at once.
The officials deny that the building OF
additional openhearth furnaces is being
cont emplated. Certain it is that as yet
no contracts with this object in view
have been made.
'The business of the plant is better
than for some time in every depart
ment, except the rail mill. While the
rail mill is working full force of men
on single turn, the orders are being
filed as rapidly AS contracts call for,
and the railroads are not calling for
as many rails as it was predicted would
be ordered as soon as the panic con-
ditions were over. If the business in
steel rails showed the same big increase
in the demand for rails that there is IN
the demand for all the other products
of the steel plant, every converter
would be put to work, or else it would
be necessary at once to increase the
number of openhearth furnaces.
"The fact that the steel plant IS
| working a large number of men and
giving them steady employment, is the
source of the greatest satisfaction 20
the merchants of Pueblo. Close to 1000
men are now working at the plant AMI
for the C. & w. railroad, in this city,
and this large force of men forms big
brigade in the tin bucket army of Pu-
eblo. -

"London has become the world IS capt

worse than Paris?''
''You may stroll about Paris all day

the reply. "When comparing London
with Paris,' he continued, "or, indeed,
any two cities, national standard os

LONDON, THE CENTER
OF THE WORLDS VICE

LONDON London is the wicked
est city on earth, is the startling as
sertion of Rev. w. Kingskote Greeland,
one of England s foremost social re
formers, and ex-chaplain of her largest
penal settlement, Dartmoor prison. He
has arrived at this conclusion only at-
ter years of patient and mature con
sideration, during which he has com
pared the English metropolis with New
York, Chicago, and various European
capitals. Furthermore he is prepared
to back up his statement with an array
of lurid facts.
The Rev. W. Kingston Greenland,
who brings this serious indictment
against the world s metropolis. has had
wide experience. He has deovted his
life to sociology and is familiar with all
the countries of Europe, having been
an extensive traveller in France, Ger
many, italy. Austria, Spain and else
where, knowing their languages and
their peoples, and, more than, this,
their vices.
Comparing them all, and making al
lowance for national traits, climate con-
ditions, and other mitigating circum-
stances, he still maintains that dear Oh
London deserves the fate meted out Ia
the wicked cities of the Bible. The an
thor of this charge against London has
also had the opportunity of studying
other wicked people at first hand in The
largest city in England, where he was
chaplain for many years.
In the course of a recent interview
he explained in detail why he consid-
cred London "the worst ever.''
'In the first place. he said, "take
the question of the immortality of Lon
don. l notice many English people
speak of London as though it were the
very pink of purity, but they support
what they say merely by pointing our
| that London is not as bad as it was,
But if | say that today is a wet day,
| it is no disproof of my statement to
say that it was "A very much wctter yea
