On February l. 1877. Alexander
Graham Bell. an American teacher
OF Scotch descent, gave his first. ex-
hibitlon and lecture to illustrate his
telephone. The people of Salem,
Mass, who heard the lecture vel
coined the cleverly conceived toy,
but there was no inclination to give
the inventor financial support.
Among the capitalists who refused
to help Bell was Senator Chauncey
Depew, who, after weeks reflec-
tion. pronounced the telephone to be
q clever idea, but lacking in COM
mercial possibilities, Had the Sen.

him then for 80. 900. 1t would now
be worth $25, 100000. Still more
blind to the voice OF opportunity was
Senator Don Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania. Bell offered him half-inter
est for nothing; by refusing the Of

CROSS BOOSTS FOR
THE GRAND VALLEY

In an interview in yesterdays Dem
yer Republican. well known or
chardist is featured as follows:
W. B. Cross, the well known fruit
man from the Grand valley, is max
ing one of his periodical visits to
Denver He is enthusiastic over the
prospects for fruit in that section
despite the heavy frost which it was
feared for time had ruined this
years crop. He estimates that there
will be SIS per cent of full crop this
season and that over $500 cars will
be shipped out of the valley. Last
year the output amounted to about
S3,00O,0OO, but Cross believes that
the present crop will exceed that
figure.
"Palisade will have the biggest
crop in its history" he said last night
at the Shirley hotel, "and Fruita also
looks for record breaker. There
seems TO be a great scarcity of fruit
in all other parts of the country from
what | can hear, and, if that is so,
we should get good prices out here"
Soon after the frost came Cross
put SO acres in sugar beets, planting
them between the fruit trees. He eX-
poets big return from this source,
which will make up any loss which
might core through th" frost's effect
on tn fruit crop
The shipping season in the Grand
valley will begin soon. Apricots and
cherries are about ready to go out,
but the peaches will not be ready for
shipment before July |. The new
interurban between Grand Junction
and Fruita will be opened within the
next few weel.s, and II is thought
that this will be great advantage in
the fruit line as the new road will run
fruit cars and great deal OF ship
ping will be done over it between
points in the valley.

CELEBRATION IS
GOOD ADVERTISING

Profitable publicity in connection
with the coming interurban celebra-
ton, is already bearing fruit in the
Denver papers. The following in yes
terday's Republican will help some"
The entire Grand valley. probably
the greatest fruit section in the world,
will hold a monster celebration about
June 10, in honor of the opening of
the Grand Junction Interurban Rail-
way company's line through the val
ley.
Scores of prominent men of the
state, railway officials, and newspaper
men, will be invited to attend the
celebration which aside from being
large will contain many unique and
attractive features. The Grand val
ley is practically given over entirely
TO horticulture, there are miles and
miles of orchards, through which the
visitors will be carried, giving them
views of the great orchards at close
range
The Colorado Midland will run
special train from Glenwood Springs,
the cars of which will be attached to
the interurban company's locomotive
at Grand junction and pulled over
the entire electric system.
The newspaper men, who report
the celebration. will travel in pri-
vate car of the Colorado Midland
under the special conductorship OF
Lee Haney. the Midland's publicity
expert. Mr.. Haney is now compiling
souvenir booklet for the occasion.
A larger edition setting forth the
many advantages of the valley will
be published and distributed to pas
sengers on all trains entering Grand
Junction
