GRAND JUNCTION. May 23.-Results
from the application OF water to the
desert lands of the West have never
been better illustrated than by the
completion of the Orchard Mesa pro-
iect, across the river from Palisade
and Grand Junction. where the sim
pie announcement OF the letting of a
contract for irrigation work caused
an increase OF from S2.000,0O0 to
5000, 900 in the market value OF
10000 to 1900 acres of land.
Now that 1t is announced that the
water will be let upon the land with

years ago were impossible to keep
at s. and $40 an acre will reach $500
TO $500 an acre. Much Of the acreage
under this ditch was taken up as
homesteads few years ago. and
even now is still covered with sage
brush and cacti; but the expenditure
of million dollars in the irrigation
system built by the Mangenheimers
of Chicago for the district has al
ready been repaid by increased val
uee.
The channel OF the Grand river, one
OF the swiftest streams In Colorado,
was diverted onto the land. To do
this n concrete dam was built across
the river nine miles above Pallsade.
which allowed a sufficient drop in
the water to work the turbine
pumps which have been constructed
Just across from Palisade. From
eighty to- a hundred men have been
at work for nine months on the con-
struction of this dam. and thousands
OF tons Of stone and iron have been
dumped into the river here to check
Its useless flow past the barren spots

The Renault is generally recognized

ASSOCIATED GETS
GLIDDEN RESULTS

News of the awarding of the Glidden
tour trophy to the Chalmer-Detroit car
has been received by Manager Hall,
of the Associated Garage. 1t is there
in shown that the Chalmers car went
for the geratest number of days and
miles before receiving any penalties
whatever, and was finally awarded the
coveted prize in place of the Premier
for the reason that it was strictly
stock car. This adds another splendid
trophy to the long list already held by
the Chalmers, attesting to the enduring
qualities of the machine.
Manager Hall reports that the sales
of Hudson cars still keeps up and in
quiries concerning them are coming in
from many quarters.
During this week another touring
car of the latest model was sold, de-
livery to be taken in few days.
Two of the splendid Pierce-Arrow
cars Of the 1911 model will be due to
arrive here next month. Both i'm
porters and owners are on up-toe to
see the new beauties.
Three new Hudson cars came in dur
ing the week quite unexpectedly. They
had already been sold to arrive but
were not looked for in some days yet
The Associated is just now having
a big run on automobile parts and
supplies. Gradually the stock in this
line has been brought up to a point
where it now includes practically
everything the automobilist may re-
quire.

to keep on the roadbed and if a car
had happned to slip off, there was

Never will one of the men who rode
over that mile and quarter forget the
agony of humping from tie TO tie. And
when it seemed that one had reach
ed the end of human endurance, one
could look ahead and see apparently
endless miles of these ties still waiting
to be jolted over.
1t was right in the midst of this
.severest of all automobile trials that
Bill Bolger, driving Chalmers 5, the
last car in the tour to lose its perfect
score, had a blowout. In the boiling
sun on a railroad track wide enough
to give the automobile runway, Bolger
had to bring his car to a standstill to
change a tire. Every man who rode
in that car says that experience was
the most agonizing of his entire life.
Yet Bolger got through that days run
with a perfect score even though the
betting in Dallas that morning had
b en- 10 to 1 that he would not finish
the day without penalty.
A striking mark of identification on
all Chalmers cars for 1911 is an azure
blue bar across the top of the radiator
This blue line is the same color as the
famous "Bluebird" racing cars, which
won for the Chalmers the title of

bar is the company's recognition of the
performances of the "Bluebirds" on
road, track and hill.

With a scarcely noticeable cessation

Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company of
Buffalo finished it's shipments of 1910

cars have been given precedence in
the order of manufacture of the va

fold while the protected touring car

model of the latter having been shown
at Madison Square Garden in January.
The protected touring car is one with

MITCHELL CARS ARRIVE.

By the Lurline this week the Schu-
man Carriage Company received four
of the fine medium-proced Mitchell
cars-a machine which has taken an
immense hold in the Islands. These
cars have already been unpacked and
are open to inspection. A few years
ago the Mitchell car was hardly known
in Honolulu, but now it is a common
sight on the street. 1t is a machine
that has come to the front purely by
virtue of quality for the price. 1t has
never had any extraordinary advertis-
ing here, but each Mitchell buyer has
voluntarily become an advertiser of its
merits.
Another car received by Mr.. Schu-
man during the week was an E. M. f.
of the latest model.
During the week the Schuman gar
age has sold a 1911 Locomobile to
Frank Thompson and a Mitchell road
ster to Jack Dillon, of the Honolulu
Iron Works. Both of these cars are
recent shipment,
