WHERE THE MATTER STANDS.

Is Grand Junction going to get that
bridge across the Grand river at the
foot of Main street next year or Is
delay on the part of some of the in
terested people going to bring about
a state of affairs that will make it
impossible to build and complete the
bridge before the year of 1911?
This is a question that the county
commissioners of Mesa county were
asking themselves today.
After hearing the representations
of a number of private organizations,
the Chamber of Commerce and indi-
viduals last summer the commits
sioners announced that they would
do their duty in the matter and they
kept their promise well for early in
the fall they appropriated 5000
for that Main street bridge.
The state has already appropriated
600 appropriated for the bridge.
The commissioners understood that
if they made an appropriation that
private subscriptions would be raised
at once providing for the cost of thc
bridge. From $1,000 to $4,000
should be provided by private sub
scriptions and probably by the city
to complete the fund necessary for
the building of the big bridge
These subscriptions have not been
aised and up until today no campaign

The question of abandonment of
the Mesa County canal, one of the
first irrigation bitches built in the
Grand valley, and project which has
been in active service since 1883 and
which is one of the landmarks of
western Colorado, may be submitted
to the stockholders of the Grand VAL

future, if the report of expert engi-
neers employed by the men behind
the movement fix the expense of same
as not prohibitive.
The movement is not advocated by
the board of directors as body but
by large number of property own
ers of the city and valley. The insti-
gator of resolution introduced az
the board meeting last night to the
effect that ftIis- question be lnvesti-

in this city and owner of property in

ditch. The reasons for advocating
the abandonment is the alleged dam
age to city property and ranch prop

incidentally the value of the hundreds
of acres of land which comprise the
right of way.
The ditch is approximately seven
miles long and the right of way sew

Refuse Cast Upon Beaches

The f1otsam and jetsam of admins

The general mass of complaints from

problem of fixing the blame, commit

fed it as having belonged to Oakland.

PARTY IS
met BY THRONGS
Dentist and Typist Spared From
Gaze of Curious by Ruse
at Liverpool

LONDON Aug. 27.-Dr.s Hawley H.
Crippen. the American dentist, and his
typist, Miss Ethel Glare Leneve, re-
turned today from Canada, where they
were apprehended by the police on sus-
picion of being connected with the dis
appearance of Doctor Crippen's actress
wife, Belle Elmore
When the Crippen party arrived at
Euston station from Liverpool, where
they had disembarked a few hours
earlier from the steamer Megantic, the
party was driven to the Bow street po-
lice court, where the accused man and
woman We're formally charged with the
crime and then placed in cells.
Great crowds gathered in the vicin-
ity of the landing stage at Liverpool
during the morning and stood waiting
for hours in the hope of catching a
view of Doctor Croppen and the young
woman. Strong barricades, however,
had been erected about the landing
stage and the crowds We're kept at a
distance.
Inspector Dew made use of simple
ruse to attract the crowd to the bows
of the Megantic and while all interest
concentrated on that end of the steamer
succeeded in disembarking his prison
ers from a gangway at the stern of the
ship scarcely attracting any attention
The crowd of spectators, which, after
being driven from the landing stage had
rushed to the entrance of the station
nearest the bow of the ship, soon be-
came aware of the maneuver and hur-
ried to the other end of the station, but
was too late to get view of Doctor
Crippen and Miss Leneve.
Both Doctor Crippen and Miss Le-
m ~, r-,.-
Megantic, it was stated. had an unusu-
ally good voyage.
