Elizabeth Reports.

Elinor Glyn. like Charles Dick ems, has
printed notes Of us. In her book Eliza
beth Visits America" Duf1eld d Com
pany) they are conscientiously produced.
In the East she found the mon too con
siderable around the waist. In the West
the waists OF men bore happily more OF the
aspect Of the waists that the eye remarks
in the British Isles. We think Of John
Bull and Daniel Lambert. The cocktails
we're good In the East. Elizabeth writes
TO her mother: Il had to have n You
are handed It before anything else while
you are waiting for the soup. and 1t tastes
like ipecacuanha wine mixed with brandy
and something bitter and a touch Of
n but you have not swallowed It
five minutes when you have not a care in
the world and nothing matters. You
can't think, mamma, how lnsidious and de-
liehtful." She met an American auto
MODELLING in France, and met him again on
shipboard and still again in the West. 1t
is regarding this American that she in
g~eniously writes: .He is quite different
here TO in France or on the boat" He was
always slender in the waist. 1t was in
other respects that in the Rocky Noun
tains he was different to in France and also
different to on the boat. Elizabeth
escaped very well from the many perils
OF America. 1t will be noticed that she
kept her English style quite unimpaired.

Below is given the platform adopt
ed by the Citizens and Taxpayers
League ticket. The platform is short
and to the point and will undoubtedly
commend itself to the larger proper
ties of the people of this city who are
looking at municipal government as
business.
No mention is made in the plat
form OF two questions which will un-
doubtedly become quite large factors
in the campaign. before the contest
for municipal honors is ended-these
are The question of the adoption of
a charter form of government and OF
the fight for a dry town.
The leaders of the non-partisan
ticket have endeavored to present
with their platform those things
which should be considered by all
GOOD citizens. leaving the other ques-
tions to be fought out on their own
merits, which action will certainly
commend itself to the friends of the
non-p partisan ticket.

One of the most important petit
tions in the history of this city Will
be presented to the city council at
its regular monthly session tonight.
1t is the petition of property own
ers in the district outlined as the
first paving district of the city of
Grand Junction.
An examination of the signatures
to this petition will show that the
petition is representative of all the
property owned in this district.
On the abutting squares the en-
tire ownership is represented, while
in all there is majority of the
property represented 1t is only re-
quired that a majority of the proper
ty owners sign the petition for paw
ing: but it was the aim to secure, IL
possible. the signature of every prop
erty owner in the proposed paving
district
A petition of this sort was some
what harder to secure than an ordi-
nary petition, as. when each prop
erty owner signed same, it stamped
his approval of the proposed paving
and of his willingness to be taxed
for same.
That the city council will look
with favor upon the petition is al
most unquestionable, as it is the ex-
preston of the people on the sub
ject. The plan proposed, which may
be materially changed to conform
with the law, is that bonds shall be
issued by the city covering the paw
ing in this district, payable in 30
years, and that each owner of prop
erty pay his share of the expense of
paving in much the same manner as
the sewers have been paid for in
this city.
Taken as a whole. no more import
ant petition was ever presented tc
the council, and The Sentinel is very
proud, iudeed. for the part it has
taken in furthering the matter from
the very start and having editorially
proposed the paving proposition and
