A LETTER FROM HER "B,Y."
The postoffice at New York once
received a letter addressed simply:
ITO My Mother.

Inc pOStoIIlCe at New 10TH ONCE
received a letter addressed simply:
ITO My Mother
New York, America"
This letter came from Ireland. but,
as there are several women in New
York City who have sons in Ireland,
naturally enough the postal authori-
ties had not much hope of finding
the right one, says Harper's Weekly.
However, the letter was turned over
to one of the men in the "decipher-
ing department" Now it so hap
pened that on the very day of it's re-
ceipt there an Irish woman came to
the general delivery window and said:
Have We a letther from me b'y?"
The fact that a woman with the
cast of mind required for such an
inquiry should come at that time ap-
pealed to the clerk as being some
thing more than a coincidence. 1t
was quite possible that such a wOm-
an might be the mother of such a son.
So he took the letter. observed the
postmark, and asked the woman
where her by" lived. She gave the
name of the place from which the let
ter was stamped. Some other ques

TRIPLE CELEBRATION
At WHITNEY HOME
Authorized Announcement BY An I'm
authorized Party That There
Will Be Big Doings.

Quiet preparations have been mys-
teriously going on for some time at
the new home of Tom Whitney. on
the Indian school car line, just north
of the city. The meaning of this sub
dued excitement could not be under
stood. by Mr.. Whitney's father, j. T.
Whitney. until yesterday, and now
that he has found out he proposes to
give the facts to the public He has
recalled that his son was once a
Fourth of July baby, having first
seen the light about 6 a. m. on the
morning of the Fourth, in 1874 Also,
Tom has but recently finished his
nice new house and it is only right
and proper that il should be properly
dedicated. Julys 4th will therefore be
a triple holiday with the Whitneys, a
national event, birthday anniver-
sary and house warming. The elder
Whitney says he does not know
whether Tom knows that he knows
about it or not, but he does know.
just the same, and will therefore take
the responsibility of inviting all of
Toms friends to the big doings
The elder gentleman says he be-
lieves that all big events should be
fittingly recognized, and this is surely
big one. He don't know just what
is being framed up for the ceIebra-
ton, but he knows it ought to be
big one, to do proper credit to the
Whitney blood. Mr.. Whitney, senior,
says that when he celebrates he does
it right, even if it is expensive For
that reason he only has one birthday
celebration in seven years, as he only
recognizes the anniversaries that fall
on Sunday. His last celebration was
a year ago or more, and it was pulled
off just as it should have been. Half
the people of the county dropped i'm
on him and they had a splendiferous
time
The next birthday party he gives,
some five or six years hence, he says
may be his last one, for he is crawl
ing along up in the years, but he is
going to make it a hummer. He will
arrange for it to last from Sunday to
Sunday. and any friend of his who
fails to show up sometime during that
week, will be wiped off the slate. He
says he don't know whether Tom in
this instance is trying to sneak quiet
ly around the festivities of tomorrow
or not, or whether he has invited
everybody except the "old man." and
is waiting to surprise him, but for
fear that Tom isn't next" himself,
Dad is taking the responsibility of
sending out the invitations.

beer, 400 quarts of whisky, one case
of gin and two sacks of -four.
Railroad men were at once suspected
and P. N. Handy, brakeman, and H.
Mcconnell, fireman, were arrested and
brought to Glenwood where they were
placed in Jail. Yesterday Farris, Kelly,
Gadberry, Gadberry, Dragmeyer and
jenkins, all railroad employees, were ar
rested and it is thought that several
more will yet fall into the dragnet.
1t is said as the Post goes to press
that Handy is making confession Of
the whole matter and that the truth will
soon be known and it is predicted that
several employees Of the road, hereto
fore considered reliable and trustworthy
will be implicated in the affair.
Several Midland officials are here and
they show a very determined disposition
to make an example of the guilty par.

ter to be regarded in light manner

this cannot be done unless their en-
ployes are given to understand that

THE RIGHT KIND OF JUDGE

Down at New Castle they have po-
lice magistrate who seems imbued with
the old fashioned notion that laws werc
made to be enforced. j. Fred Kamm is
the name of the officer referred to aud
this is the way he does business. A
short time ago two fellows were arrest
ed and brought before "Hizzoner"
charged with fighting and using pro.
fame and obscene language on the
streets. They were found guilty and
Judge Kamm handed each one ticket
for 800 and costs. They paid and
their conduct is said to have been
greatly improved by the experience.
last Monday Tom Ross, an Italian sa-
loon keeper. was arrested and brought
before the magistrate charged with
keeping his saloon open on Sunday in
violation of the law. The fellow plead
guilty and then Kamm said "I will only
fine you $3.50 and costs this time. but if
there is next time I will give you an
opportunity to study Jail architecture in
the beautiful city Of New CASTLE" or
words to that effect. Notwithstanding
Ross plea of guilty he refuses to pay
tbs fine and has taken an appeal to the
county court.

R. f. Vickery is in town today, and
the facts stated herein are statements
made by him to representative Of the
Reveille. Mr.. Vickery is one of the
men who has devoted considerable hard
work on the Hunter mesa project for
the past three years.
While he has been confident that his
efforts would not be in vain, he was not
positive until the completion of the geo.
logical survey last week, that there
would be enough water to cover the en-
tire mesa. The results of this survey
show ample water for twelve thousand
acres, which means that the entire mesa
will be placed under this project.

enhammer is showing good form in the
pole vault, high jump and hurdles, Hub

HUNTER MESA
TO Be WATERED
Magenheimers to Build Big
Mesa Project so
Il is Said
CHOICE BODY OF LAND

The Hunter Mesa project, which will
water large tract of land just across
the Grand river from the Silt-Antlers
project above Rifle and in which J. j.
Lumsden and R. E. Vickery of Grand
Junction, G. G. Parks of Glenwood and
Geo. W. Vallery of Denver are iterested,
has been successfully financed and a
deal has been entered into between the
syndicate controlling the project and
the Magenheimer Brothers for the con
struction of the canal. The project
will be a reservoir matter.
Concerning the matter the Rifle Rev
ellie has the following:
Three years ago the proposition of
placing water on the Hunter Mesa was
taken up by men who realized that
there were over ten thousand acres of
the finest red sagebrush soil on tie
western slope thirsting for the waters
of the hills to make it fertile land the
most productive of the state.

already established a record for the

from the Divide creek and its tributa-
ries, and the Hunter mesa. now covered
with sagebrush, where roam range cat
tie, will by next spring be converted
into orchards and blossoming flower
gardens and fields of waving grain.
The men at the head of the project
are men who know tue possibilities of
the Upper Grand Valley, when it comes
to fruit raising. They are such men as

BOX CAR ROBBERY At CARDIFF
Colorado Midland Car Broken Open and
a Quantity Of Booze Stolen Eight
Employees Arrested

Whether the price of booze is so high
in Cardiff that railroad employees cannot
afford to quench their thirst in the or
dinary way or whether there is an or
ganized band of car robbers to which a
number of shortages in freight can be
charged is question that Colorado
Midland officials will undertake to solve.
The breaking open of car of mer-
chandise and the purloining of a por-
tion of the shipment has not been an
infrequent occurrence on roads entering
Glenwood. Several solutions of the sit
uation have been advaaeed and employee
have frequently been suspected, but 1t
has always been found very difficult to
positively fix the blame.
Wednesday evening a number of rail-
road men at Cardiff were seen to be
well under the influence of liquor and
as this was rather an unusual sight,
Agent Fipps made some inquiries at the
local saloon only to be told that the
men had not procured their liquor at

Under the headline "Has Dry Town

any complaints from business men Of
Grand Junction.
The following improvements are un-

today by securing the Auditorium for
next Sunday evening when the great

be held. Gov. Hadley Of Indiana will
speak. He will deliver three addresses
here.
