Some of the old timers are blaming
Halley's comet for the present un-
usual weather. but whatever the
cause the mercury dropped lower in
Grand Junction this morning than
at any time on May 16 since the
weather bureau was established
Three years ago there was a tempera-
ture of 20 on May l 4. and in 1908 the
official record showed temperature
of 35 on May 2S. The fruit crop is
so far along, however, that there is
very little to be feared from frost
at this time.
The weather bureau sent out a
frost warning early Sunday afternoon
and the ranchers were watching their
thermometers pretty closely during
the night. At Palisade the mer-
curry dropped to "a above and a light
snow fell in the upper end of the
valley early this morning but the
morning sun soon melted it. The
hills on every side are covered with
a thick blanket of snow and it will
probably remain for some days to
come.
In the Clifton district there was
a heavy frost but no damage re-
ported a temperature OF SO. In some
points east of Fruita report of so
above was received, but there was
no attempt to smudge, as the fruit
was not considered in any danger Be
cause of its advanced state.
Weather Observer Hardinge an
nounced today that the bureau would
be kept open tonight for the bene-
fit of the ranchers in the valley. The
weather forecast is for heavy frost
tonight, although because of the size
attained by the fruit 1t is
not believed that there will be any
necessity for smudging unless there
is an unusually hard freeze.
Many of the ranchers still have
their pots in the orchard, although
the majority have removed them, as
they interfered with irrigating and
with cultivation. A few of them
are hauling their heaters back to-

Undertaken Slough could hardly
bring himself to lay away this young
and comparatively beautiful woman
in the Potter's field and he, with a
few other kindly spirits raised suf-
licient money to give her decent bar
ial. That this kindly act will be re-
pembered by the little child of the
woman, when grown to womanhood
with the deepest thankfulness, is
without question.
How splendidly Christian was the
act of the Salvation army in gladly
coming forward to undertake to do
for this young woman. what no other
church or Christian had offered to do.

Lieutenant Westcctt preached a
powerful sermon on the duty of Gods
children TO the unfortunate ones of
the world.
Here was an orpnrtunity for self
abnegation upon the rart of some of
those who preach loudly at the street
corners, but none availed themselves
to do for the least Of His own.

VETS AND ORYS
BOTH CLAIM
ELECTION
Nathan Cole Says Denver Will Go
Wet by 12,000.-Williams Says
Anti-Saloon Men Will Win
by at Least 1000.
WATER QUESTION UP IN THE AIR
Especial to The sentinel. /

Denver, May 16.-Both vets and
drys are claiming the election to be
held tomorrow, while none will even
venture guess as to what will be
done with the various water amend
ments and other amendments to the
charter which will be voted ON tomor-
row.
Nathan A. Cole, chairman of the
wet" committee made a final pre-
diction today that the saloon men
would carry the election by major
ity of 1900 to 5000. Wayne C.
Williams. of the Anti-Saloon League
committee claimed that Denver would
go dry by 1000 votes.
No one knows what the result will
be and predictions are little better
than worthless.
The first legal fight over the cleo
tion came up before Judge Dixon today
when the Democrats sought to force
clerks upon the election judges which
had been refused. Judge Dixon post
poned the hearing. The Citizen S
Party opposed the application for an
alternative writ and the hearing was
postponed until afternoon.

A specially of the new dairy will
be cleanliness and the barnes and
dairy houses will be built with this
point primarily in view. The floors
and cutters will be of smooth cement
and at large cost. City water will
be installed to flush the cutters and

also be given city water to drink

advertise a standing offer for peo-

The barns win accommodate 100
cows with provisions for enlarging at

The people of the city will be great
iy interested to hear that $4,000
dairy, with every modern equipment,
both for sanitary service and conven-
ience, is to be installed in Grand
Junction, starting the building of the
barns, dairy houses, ETC., and the
laying out of the farm, June 1st-
The undertaking is sure to go and
while service will not begin much be-
fore September 1st. James Nelson,
the man who is behind the project,
has more than sufficient capital and
states that there is but little chance
of the proposition falling through.

mile southeast of the city on the 40

office of the secretary OF interior

saying that Lawler, assistant attor-
hey general in the interior depart

generation for Ballinger in connec-
uon with the Claws case was dis
charged from the government service
oy Secretary Ballinger today.
The matter came to a head in the
publication attributed TO herby, in
which kerby related at length the
circumstances under which he al
,eged the Lawler draft to have been
prepared. kerby asserted further
That all of the preliminary drafts
used in the preparation of the letter
were burned in crate in the interior
department at the suggestion and
under the supervision of Don M.
carr, MIR. Ballinger's private sec
retary. kerby drew the inference
hat the Lawler draft had been adopt
ed by the president essentially as his
own: that Mr.. Ballinger and his legal
adviser had therefore virtually pre-
pared the eXoneration which Mr..
Taft had issued over his own sigma
