SHOULD WE COOPERATE :

The proposed apple show at Grand
Junction during the Mesa County
fair has been receiving some news
paper publicity, but very little sup
port by fruit growers of this county
so far as we are able to learn.
As a matter of fact, it would ap'
pear that the effort to hold the show
and call it the Western Slope apple
show is a movement to attract fruit
from Montrose and Delta counties fol-
the purpose of injuring the fair eX-
hibits here and at Delta this fall, and
at a time each county will be most
anxious to put forth its best efforts
at home.
Further. the fair association OF
Grand Junction has deliberately TAX
en- the Western Slope Fair dates sew
eral times during the past few years
and has repeated its unneigh borly
act again this year for their fair-tC
which they are trying to add an apple
show to be known as the Western
Slope apple show. All this in the
face of the fact that the Western
Slope fair has been held in Montrose
county for the past 20 years, and is
open for exhibits to all counties OF
the western slope, while Grand juno
ton has been holding Mesa County
fair but a few years.
Impression has gained here that
Grand Junction has been awaiting an
opportunity to capture the name OF
Western Slope fair for some time. and
is using an apple show as an enter
ing wedge.
Fruit growers of Montrose county
are not without patriotism, or asleep

can swallow our association so easily,

GENERAL MILES INJURED
Thrown From His Horse While riding

Washington, y. c., April 21.--Gcn-
oral Nelson a. Miles, United states

horse he was riding In Potomac Park
late to-day. One rib was broken, he
received a slight scalp wound and
was bruised somewhat on his shoulder
and side. IT Is not thought that he
suffered any internal injuries. or that
the scalp wound will provo serious.
When picked up By one OF the park
policemen, General Miles was uncon-
sclous. but shortly regairtd his senses
nnd refused to be taken ~ the govern
ment hospital at Fort Myer, or to any
other hospital, declaring that he would
go TO his apartment, to which an au-
tomobi1e conveyed him. The doctors
who attended him said tonight that
as far as they were able to discover.
there was no cause for alarm. On ac-
count of his age. which IS threescore
and ten years. and his weight. some of
his friends here are apprehensive lest
he may have suffered more se\orely
than Is known. He was suffering con.
siderable pain tonight but is bearing
II bravely.
After the general had ridden for a
time on his accustomed horse he took
from his groom and mounted one he
had never tried before. He had not
gone more than quarter of milo
when the animal reared and ttrew hin
heavily TO the ground The runn':s
horse attracted the attention 1f on
lockers.
