STEVENS BOOSTED

1t was |. n. Stevens, publisher of
the Pueblo Chieftain and recently nomi-
mated for congressman at large by the
republican party, who went the limit
for the Grand Valley project in the
spring of 1909 and personally inter
vened with President Taft to do his
best to put the project into shape for
early construction.
When D. W. Aupperle and Senator
Horace T. DeLong were working day
and night at the Capitol City, Mr. I.
n. Stevens, who has probably the larg
est and most intimate acquaintance in
official circles in Washington of any
Colorado citizen who never occupied a
representative position under the big
white dome. arrived in Washington and
put up at the Shoreham hotel. Imme-
diately upon his arrival Mr.. Stevens
was interviewed by Messrs. Aupperle
and DeLong and was asked to 90 to the
president and speak for the project
Mr.. Stevens had an engagement with
the president at that time and he i'm
medlately consented to do his utmost
for the upbuilding of the western slope.
The next day Mr.. Stevens was closetel
with President Taft an hour and during
this time Mr. Stevens dwelt upon the
necessity of doing all that was possible
to facilitate the removal of all obsta.
cles to the work of construction on the
High Line and start work.
L. N. Stevens went to the front for
the High Line, declared d. w. Aup-
perle yesterday, ''and he did all that
was in his power to assist us in getting
work started. He personally visited
President Taft in our behalf and urged
that the canal be given the most favor
able consideration.
Mr.. Stevens has always been warm
friend Of the western slope and western
Colorado. His newspaper has published
page after page of boosting matter
about the western slope and at the
National Land and Irrigation congress
held at Chicago last year, the Chieftain
containing full section of matter ad
Vertising the western slope, was given
away by the thousands of copies. As
virlle and progressive republican, |. N.
stevens is recognized as a fighter for
the issues that the people of Colorado
are demanding in Colorado and his
nomination for congressman at lar~e
has been received with pleasur. by
hundreds of the progressive men AMI
women of western Colorado. His elec
tion to congress will mean that western
Colorado will be ably and forcfully rep
resented by man in position to con
fer upon the cities and towns of the
western slope real benefits.-Graud

The great Mesa county fair is over
The last visitor has gone home and each

praise for the extraordinarily fine

George E. Harris made very credit
able showing from his forty acre apple
orchard.
Henry Hickman. who can always be
depended upon at such exhibitions came
in with small but very good display.
The dry farming exhibit from the
Hunter mesa country, consisting of po-
tatoes. beets. turnips, cabbage and
other vegetables, attracted considerable
attention, being proof of what can be
done under the dry farming system.
The Divide creek country was repre-

Herman Eiche made fine exhibit of
garden stuff principally cauliflower and
table beets.
These are a few of the exhibits no
ticed by the Post representative in a
somewhat hasty examination. Those
who may be omitted from mention are
assured that it was through no inten
tion to slight anyone but owing to the
impossibilty of noticing everything IN
the small space of time which could be
devoted to this work.
On the whole, the display was excel
lent, but the fruit display was small
owing to the fact that the crop is light
er this year than usual while the po-
tato exhibit could scarcely be consid
cred at all owing it is said, to the fact
that the farmers were all so busy that
they could not be induced to dig and
prepare their potatoes Lor exhibition.

that delighted the patriotic. There s
thrill in the music of the fife and drum
and the reverent waving of Old GLORY
by the soldier boys that sets the blood
tingling in the most of .us. The marcel
ing of the school children, ending by
their singing of America, was a
pleasing feature and one that brought
out much applause.
All in all it was great day and one
that brought Rife well into the notice
of the whole county and of the whole
state.
