MOOSE CIRCUS
PREPARATIONS
NEARLY READY

All is excitement, enthusiasm and
ginger in circusdom these days, and
the four hundred members of the
Moose are buster than ants getting in
shape for the big show next week.
The important thing for the public
tosremember is that there will be no
charge for admission TO the fair
grounds in the evening" The only
admission charged will be to the cir
Gus in front of the grandstand, to the
Moose side show, to the concert after
the circus performance, and to the
separate concessions around the
grounds. The fair grounds will be
free to all in the evening.
Tonight there will be a meeting of
the entertainment committee and
ushers at phe Sentinel office at s.
, o clock sharp. The meeting will be-
gin promptly and end as soon as the
business is over, probably short but
effective session and all concerned
are urged to be present.
Other committees are holding daily
sessions and the various departments
of the great show are reported as
being in excellent shape.
An unusually attractive concert
program is under way, in charge of
his jewellery store on Main street
f. R. Bowie and Bob Hardinge are
working like troopers ON the 100 men
who take part in the various depart
ments of the actual performance.
Tony Flucken and j. B. Matthews
are rounding up the parade features
in conjunction with Chairman Nelson
who has his eye out for the cowboys
and other essentials
Howard Piatt has a good list of
clowns and is looking for more as the
fun producing features will be up to
the standard of the rest of the per-
formance
The circus proper is expected in to-
night, together with all the strong
professional acts which come with ii.
The street parade Tuesday will be
magnificent affair. a mile long and
full of features OF great magnitude.
Each afternoon the circus parade
Will take place in front of the grand
stand at the fair grounds for the
edification of the fair spectators.
The Moose are giving this circus.
for the double purpose of boosting
our county fair. as all good citizens
should. and for the purpose of raising
fund for the proper furnishing of
tnelr new lodge and club rooms.
Consequently, each Moose is pull
ing for the fair good and strong, as
We'll as for the circus feature.
The public should watch the col
umns of the daily and weekly papers
from now on as every day there will
be matters of general interest regard
ing the circus published in each issue.
II you miss one you may miss the
very one that would appeal to you
most strongly.
You can bank on the press state
ments with more assurance than in
the case of the ordinary road show.
SO many local people are going to
take part. that only reliable informa-
ton regarding them can be given,
and the many professional acts are so
well-known and vouched for that
there need be no discounting any
statement made complimentary to the
coming circus.

Delegations from Clifton, Palisade,

Of REV|E'
TASK FOR M|e!
Profits on Grand Valley Orchards Placed Too
Low in Comparison With Price Per Acre

The recent article in the Review of
Reviews, while quite extensive and
somewhat complimentary to the
Grand valley, did not accurately set
forth the net profits on our orchards,
and the comparison between the
prices of land and the earning capac-
ity was not in our favor, the appar-
ent profit being placed at about six
per cent.
In order to correct, so FAR as pos
sible, the error Secretary Louis Meyer
sent the following letter to the edi-
tors of the magazine:
September 8, 1910.
Hon. A. b. Shaw,
Editor Review of Reviews,
New York, N. Y.
Deor Sir
We should like to enter an EN-
phatic protest against some of the
statements contained in the current
number of your excellent magazine,
ON Colorado, as entirely misleading
and tending to do an injustice TO the
Grand Valley of Colorado. While we
are extremely grateful for the public
ity given to the state in that article,
we believe that the statement with
reference to the high price of lands
and the low returns per acre are mis-
leading. The author states that
fruit lands sell from s250O to $4,000
per acre and that the returns are
from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre, which
is bare six per cent. Now it is true
that some orchards have sold for the
prices contained in the article, and
II is also true that the returns in
some instances are as stated. But
to connect the two is entirely mis-
leading and far from the real facts in
the matter.
The lands which have sold for the
price mentioned are exceptional cases
and the proven returns on the S250O
and $4,000 per acre land was more
like from $500 to $1,000 an acre than
$3.50 to $500 per acre. The one or
chard which sold for $4,000 might
practically be called a city piece of
property, and upon it was located
house worth possibly $4,000. 1t
might be just as consistent TO say
that New York farm lands are worth
100000 an acre because a Fifth
avenue mansion sold at about that
rate per acre. for this one sale was of
a city residence.
The average price of beraing fruit
land in the Grand valley ranges from
$3.50 to $500 per acre, according to
location and productiyeness. and
while some of these orchards have
netted at the rate of $1,000 per acre,

MAINE GOES DEMOCRATIC
BY TREMENDOUS MARGIN
May Mean First Democratic Senator Since
l6o3--Local Option May .Supplant
Prohibition

The state legislature, which nor
mally is overwhelmingly republican,
will have a decidedly changed COM
pleXion. With 1S9 senatorial and
representative districts heard from
out of a total of 1872, the democrats
already have SIS in joint convention,
with but 80 necessary to control.
If the legislature is captured by
the democrats, it probably will mean
the ready submission to the people
of the vexed prohibitory liquor law
and chance for local option in the
sale of intoxicants.
Such Legislature can also choose a
successor to United States Senator
Eugene Hale and give Maine her
first democratic senator since 1863
and New England the first since the
election of William ID. Eaton in Con-
necticut in the late '70s.
The next Legislature will have full
charge of redistricting the state.
The returns received up to 11:3O
am. today give the democrats a ma
jority Of 10 in the senate. thus as
suring the democrats of control in a
joint convention of both branches of
the Legislature which elects a United
States senator. The democrats have
every confidence that the returns
from the remaining % representative
districts viii give Il secure democrat
ie majority in the house.

WASHINGTON HAS
POLITICAL TROUBLES
IBy Associated Press. 1

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 13.-Dissatis-
faction with the old guard on one
hand and an unwillingness to vote
for insurgents on the other is influ-
encing many republicans to forego
the privilege of voting in the primary
election which is being held in the
state of Washington today.
The labor unions are supporting
Miles Poindexter of Spokane, the in
surgent republican candidate for
United States senator. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has urged the cleo
tion of Roindexter.
In the 1st district the unions are
working hard to defeat Representa-
tive W. e. Humphrey, the author of
the ship-subsidy bill, sending to con-
gress his opponent, Thomas Revelle,
an insurgent.
There are no contests for the nomi-
nations on the democratic ticket.
