COULD SELL A
CAR LOAD THERE
While Thousands Clamor for Grand
Valley Apples, Hood River People
Sell Apples for Is Cents Each
at the Show in Chicago.
ANOTHER MESSAGE BY MAHONY

Think of 1t, Hood River apples
are being sold for | 5 cents each at
the great Land and Irrigation Con-
gress in Chicago and there are 10
tons of these apples available there.
Yet the Grand valley product is of
finer quality and is in greater de-
mand yet Secretary Mahony, of the
Grand junction Chamber of Com
merce, is being handicapped in his
excellent work at the great congress
by the fact that he has been supplied
with comparatively few apples. The
following message sent to NJ. o. Della
plain, by Mr.. Mahony. and received
today. tells the whole story very
briefly but very forcibly. If this city
and valley are not missing a glorious
opportunity in failing to literally
supply Mr.. Mahony with fruit for
boosting purposes at the Coliseum in
Chicago where thousands and thou
sands of men and women from all
parts of the country congregate daily,
then we are badly fooled. Here is
the message to Mr. Delaplain:
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. "a, 1909,
NJ. o. Delaplain,
Grand junction, Colo.
People are clamoring for Grand
valley fruit and the leading stores do
NC 1carry it. l can sell q carload at
almost any price. Hood River has / 3
tons on exhibition and are selling ap-
pies at 5 cents each. Please urge
Mr.. Moore to have his Chicago agents
come to the rescue so that l can help
these people get what they want.

TO FUM|GATE
THE ENTIRE
Town
Sweeping Order Issued This Morning
by DR.. Gothard Causes Much Ex-
citement and No Little Bitter
ness in Neighboring Town.
CERTIFICATES FOR CHILDREN

There has been no little excitement
in the town of Palsade today owing
TO a sweeping and radical order is
sued this morning by DR.. j. w. Goth
ard, the Palisade health officer, to
the effect that every house in Pali-
sade must be fumigated between to-
day and Monday morning and that af-
ter Monday morning no children
would be permitted to attend school
unless they presented certificate
showing that their home had been
fumigated.
This order of DIR. Gothard was is
sued in circular form and created a
decided sensation and no little sur
prise. Bitter and widespread opposi-
ton seems to have developed against
the order and number of very prom
inent Palisade citizens declared this
afternoon that the order was unneces-
sary.
1t seems that Palisade has had q
few cases of scarlet fever within its
boundaries of late and 1t seems that
= Gothard thought it best, in order
y do away with any probability of
the disease spreading. to demand this
general fumigation campaign. How
ever, some of the best known Palisade
few cases. that they are quarantined.
that there is little danger of spread
of the disease. that it can easily be
controlled in its present state, and
that the order issued by DR.. Gothard
is too radical and will work hard
ship on great many people. 1t is
declared that it will be impossible to
fumigate all of the houses in Pali-
sade within the short period desig-
mated and as result many pupils
will be unable to attend school next
week.
1t is reported that the fumigation
must be done by the health officer
himself or an appointed deputy and
that the health officer receives fee
from every household that is subject
ed to fumigation.
There is no question but what the
decision of DR.. Gothard to have a
general fumigation campaign in Pali-
sade has created big stir in the
prosperous little Peach City up the
valley.

TO WORK HARD
FOR HIGH [|NE
Senator Guggenheim, Following Sen,
ator Hughes and Congressman
Taylor, Declares He Favors
Bond or Warrant Issue.
HE WILL DO ALL THAT HE CAN

Grand Junction and the valley GER
tainly should be satisfied over the
concerted manner in which the Colo
rado senators and congressman are
working for the early construction of
the high line canal by the govern
ment.
Recently in this city both Senator
Charles j. Hughes and Congressman
at Large Ed. T. Taylor emphatically
went on record as favoring the bond
or warrant issue plan for the benefit
of the high line canal and other sim
liar projects on which work has stop
ped owing to lack. of funds. Con-
gressman Martin, of this district, has
also declared that he will give any
plan looking toward the relief of the
high line, his hearty cooperation.
The same has been said by Congress-
man Rucker, who is abroad.
And now. Senator Guggenheim,
who has been abroad for some months
but who is back again, and who has
always been good friend of the
project, declares his favor of the bond
or warrant issue plan to be submitted
by the senate committee on irriga-
ton.
In an interview in Denver last
night he said in part:
Il will at once call upon Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh in the in
terest of the high line irrigation pro-
ject, in the Grand Junction country,
and If there can be any possible way
to have the project pushed to a re-
alization | surely win be glad to aid.
| am in favor of an issuance of bonds
for the purpose of carrying on this
great work.
Thus, as was the case last winter,
Colorado's brilliant and influential
representation at Washington will be
found effectively and Loyalty working
shoulder to shoulder for the high
line canal

BARBER FREE;
NO EVIDENCE
Surprise Caused by Deputy District
Attorneys Dismissal of Serious
Charge Against a Man Cap
tured After Long Search.
CHARGED WITH RAISING CHECK
CONTINUED on Page Seven. }

Considerable surprise was caused
this morning by the action of Deputy
District Attorney Lacy McClintock in
dismissing the charge OF passing a
worthless check against Frank Bar
ber, who was located in Montrose by
the local sheriff's office about ten
days ago after a search extending
over many weeks.
Barber, as detailed previously by
The Sentinel, was charged with steal
ing a check made out for $1.00 by
Frank Leach to his little grandson,
of raising the check to $1,000, cash
ing same and leaving the county.
Barber was working for Leach, who
is a prominent ranchman, at the
time. Barber had been in trouble in
the past, having, ii is reported, serv-
ed a term in the state reformatory
for alleged completely in the robbery
of the Rio Grande section house at
Domiquez about three years ago. He
is young man of about % years and
of good appearance. He is quite
well known here.
Barber was arraigned before JUS
tice sweeney this morning for pre-
liminary hearing. He was defended
by Attorney RoZzelle. He entered a
plea of not guilty.
AT the conclusion of the presenta-
tion of the evidence of the prosecu-
ton, Deputy District Attorney Nc
Clintock moved that the case be dis
missed on the grounds that the evi-
dence was not conclusive or suffic-
lent to Justify the continuation of the
prosecution. The court, as was his
duty, granted the motion and the case
was dismissed and Barker given his
freedom. He has been in the county
jail since his arrest He did not take
the stand this morning. Attorney
McClintock declares that he does not
believe the evidence as presented to-
day could bring about a conviction.
therefore he saw no need to hold Bar
ker.

BORAH FAVORS ISSUE
lBy Associated Press. ]

Washington, Nov. 24.-Senator
Borah had long conference with the
president yesterday over the propos-
ed bond issue to aid in construction
of government irrigation projects.
The president reiterated his belief
that bonds should be issued and now
thinks that in all probability con-
gress should fixe the maximum at
s3O,00O,000.
While he did not definitely com
nit himself to this figure, Senator
Borah has strong hopes that the
president will agree with Secretary
Ballinger that this amount be sub
stituted for the s10,000,000 to which
the president pledged his support in
his Western speeches. 1t is expected
he will recommend the bond issue in
his annual message to congress.

experts we're employed to revise
the system of bookkeeping and
arrange up-to-date methods to
handle routine business. In 1908
more than two million dollars
were saved thereby, while the
saving for the current year will
be in the neighborhood of a mill
ion.
In the business world experts
are employed constantly to sys-
tematize the work of prosecuting
manufacturing and commercial
enterprises. These have been
found great aids in promoting
both economy and efficiency.
Mr.. Taft believes application of
the same common sense business
methods to the affairs of govern
ment will have like results. These
experts command large salaries,
but the sums paid them are in
consequential in comparison with
the immense saving resulting
from their efforts.
There will be criticism for the
time being on the part of short
sighted people because of the en-
ployment of these experts, as
there was criticism in Boise be-
cause an expert of national rep
utation was employed to place
the city's business methods on a
systematic basis. But in time
the people will understand that
it was money wisely spent and
that every dollar so expended
has returned a hundred fold. So
it will be with the government.
The wise spending Of money is
what counts. The unnecessary
leaks drain, not the large and
necessary expenditures. Elk.

STILL ASKING FOR BREAD.

Officials of workingmen en-
ployed in the iron and steel in
dustry have issued a statement
bitterly denouncing the new tar
Tiff bill.
They say that proposed reduc-
tions in the iron and steel sched-
ule are SO drastic as to be
viewed with alarm by the work
ing men employed in these indus
tries.
But the most remarkable part
of the statement is that which
declares hundreds of thousands
of workmen are idle and "actu-
ally asking for bread"
Doesn't this cry come a bit
late? The election is over.
Before the election Mr.. Taft's
running mate, now vice president
of the United States, said in a
speech at Columbus, Ohio that
go days after the election of Mr..
Taft this country would be enjoy
ing the greatest prosperity ever
known in it's history. Those so
days are up, and over 60 more
days on top of them. Still the
cry that hundreds of thousands
of workmen are idle and actually
asking for bread.
How can it be? One thing is
sure, Mr.. Bryan can't be blamed.
1t wasn't a Democratic panic"
to begin with and Mr.. Bryan was
not elected.
Oh what a howl there would be
if MIR. Bryan had been elected and
hundreds of thousands of work
ingmen were still idle after a long
period of depression and actually
asking for bread. Idaho County

China lately proposed to Japan
that certain questions at issue be
tween the two countries in reference
TO Manchuria should he referred to
The Hague tribunal for settlement.
To this proposal japan has this
week returned decided negative
the Toxic governments note char
acterizlng it as wholly imprac-
ticable suggestion" In this docu-
ment the fact is recalled that Japan
made to China proposals looking to
a final settlement of outstanding
differences. These proposals, the
note says, in no sense represented
an ultimatum, japan expecting
that the terms offered would serve
as bases of negotiation or as points
of departure for reciprocal conces-
sions and accommodations. Accord
ing to to the note, China at first
apparently accepted Japan's offer
and then rejected it, suggesting re-
course to the permanent court of
arbitration at The Hague. In TAX
ing this course the Japanese govern
ment says China is not only guilty
OF slight courtesy to Japan, but has
disregarded one Of the provisions of
The Hague convention which makes
unsuccessful diplomatic effort an es-
sential prerequisite to arbitration.
In the view of Japan the questions
at issue are not yet ripe for presen-
tation to The Hague tribunal, and
the resources of diplomacy have not
only not been exhausted but have
not yet even been appealed to-

Within the past fortnight or so
wage reductions have become quite
general in the iron trade. Most of
the cuts thus far announced took
effect on April l, and the general
reduction was about 10 per cent.
Naturally there has been some talk
of resisting the lower scales, but it
seems to be quite generally recog-
nized that lower wages are simply
a logical corollary of depressed
times, which means competition,
together with temporarily low if
not proftless prices and surplus
supply of labor. 1t is probable
that the movement in this direction
will spread, though the leading in
terest has not as yet made it clear
that it will follow the example set
by other concerns, including the

larger independent interests. As
bearing on this movement toward
lower wages it may be noted that
the prices quoted ON many kinds Of
iron and steel products are rela-
lively lower than they were in some
months in 1897 and 1898, when
very low levels were touched. prior
to the upward turn which took
place in the subsequent year. In
that depressed period labor and raw
materials commanded lower prices
than they now do. and this fact
must be taken into consideration in
figuring about current descents.

cUT-BUT wHERE7

President Tnft is determined to
economic. Most new official
brooms are; few do. They find
the demands so pressing and es-
tablished expenditures SO firmly
rooted it is next to impossible to
pare with respect to any of the
larger items. President Taft is
not the kind of man to become
discouraged because he cannot
find big places whereat to slash.
He has decided to look after
some of the spigots.
The government must main
tain it's navy, its army, it's vari-
GUS departments. 1t must assist
internal development wherever
possible. 1t must improve its
harbor and rivers. Those are
among the big things. But there
is opportunity for exercise of
economy in what have been re-
garded as minor details. The
fact is that the saving in that
direction will amount. to a great
deal more than with respect to
direct appropriations.
One method is to modernize
the governments method of ac-
counting which are Anticipated.
In other words, to systematic
it's business as a private concern
would do it. The leaks due to
lack of system are revealed in the
