Grand View Mesa-Where 1t Is

The famous North Fork Valley is that part of
Delta County in Colorado which extends along the
north branch of the Gunnison river. The width of
the valley is from three to ten miles and about
twenty miles long The various mesas, of which
Grand View is one of the largest, are included in
the width of the valley and make very important
part of the tillabe soil of the section
In the North Fork valley there three towns
Hotchkss, Paonia and Crawford although Crawford
is sometimes spoken of as being the Smiths Fork
country, yet it is really tributary of the main
valley territory. These towns all have enyable pro-
ducing records and are exceptionally prosperous
From a point below Hotchkiss the valley opens out
rapidly to take in Rogers mesa, on the north and
Grand View mesa on the south The nearest town
is Hotchkiss, which is in plain sight of the lands
the mesa, and affords railroad ard shipping sta
ton with only short haul by wagon Although
Paonia is farther up the valley, it Is of
as the wagon road from Paona to Crawford cuts
across the upper end of the mesa.

of the valley of which Prot. Van peman when he
connected with the United States Department
OF Agriculture said In all my travels have not
seen more profitable delightful place to
fruit than the North Fork of the Gunnison river.

INVESTIGATE THAT
METER PROPOSITION

a competitive meter company tried
to place its meters with the city at
from 81 to 81 less apiece than the
price paid. The water commission
err met a, Hist. there's nothing do
ing" and he did not push the thing
further. He had other troubles at
the time, in fighting for bigger
things for the people, so he allowed
the meter deal to pass by rather
than assume another scrap on his
shoulders.
Before going into the compulsory
use of meters the city council Will
do well to inquire into how the
present meters are bought and how
they have been purchased for the
last two years. Find who placed
the orders, how the money was paid
and get the names of all who in
any way participated in the meter
transactions. An inquiry of this
kind may afford some light that
will explain to the council the rea-
son for the insistence on meters on
the eve of the Pratt administration
going out of office.

The effort to crowd meters on
the water consumers of the city by
forcible enactment comes from the
same source from which many 9TH
ler questionable moves have eman-
ated in the last two years-from
the executive department at the
city hall.
1t is hard to convince a thinking
man that there is not some Interior
motive back of this apparent haste
to force meters at this time. Cur
rent rumor is that someone around
the city hall has fattened from the
purchase of meters, as the effort
to get in other reputable types OF
meters in preference to the choice
at the city hall has failed.
Think of it, SIG to $1S for meter
the price is exorbitant. In cities
in the Central States meters are
installed as low as 50 and $40. Why
the excessive price in Spokane?
The Press knows that during the
administration of another water
commissioner about one year ago,

BY E. G. RODGERS.

In a coy little home way out on
the Dakota plains, in what was, un-
til recently, the Standing Rock In
dian reservation, the happiest and
most thankful girl in a dozen states
is eating a Thanksgiving day din
ner of baked potatoes, bread, coffee
and maybe venison if some kindly
Indian is lucky in bringing down a
deer.
Slim fare, you say? Why no, it's
truly a bountiful spread. All the
dainty eatables of a ransacked
world couldn't look more appetizing
to Jane Ferguson, ex-school teacher
and novice homesteader, prospec-
tive owner of a quarter section of
really fine land.
Eating first real Thanksgiving
dinner in wind-swept shack" in
these vast plains would make any
sort of meal regular feast. No
dinner down east" where Jane
taught the sixth grade, ever looked
half so tempting.
To begin rightly, we must go
back; back to the time when Jane,
'financier and provider for Jane and
mother, taught school, down east
Mother was too dear legacy to be
pushed aside for any matrimonial
prospect. Mother was her all and
yet there were times when in a
lonesome mood, Jane dreamed of
her future" And there were
6reams-or nightmares, rather-of
time when the decree should go
out: too old, the school needs a
younger and wiser head"
Try as Jane and mother could,
they never seemed to get ahead.
There was the winter when mother
was Ill, when bills piled up SO rap
idly that several summer vacations
were spent keeping books in hot,
stuffy offices. 1t was the very Old
and oft repeated story of poorer
gentility."
Just as she had fallen into the
rut Of sticking to things as they
are, her slender resources hermit
ted the first real vacation trip for
Jane and her mother. They went
TO the Seattle fair. 1t was mag
nificent tour of America for them.
They were, in fact, travelling in a
foreign country; of all the vastness
and granduer of the west they
knew little, they had but faint
idea of the transmississippi empire
They knew more about Rome and
Paris and Switzerland.
That was when Jane first met the
Man from Omaha" He was very
attentive to mother. That was why
Jane liked the tall. broad-shoul.
dered westerner, she told herself.
ooh. how lovely 1t must be to
live here" she enthusiastically
cried as their Pullman rolled past
the thousands of new farms.
And most of the land was given
away" he observed.
"Oh, you don't mean that 1t was
given these farmers for nothing at
all?"
We'll. l guess they did pay a
few postage stamps for each quar-.
