THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH

Great Publicity Attained for Grand Valley

Mesa County Business Association

Thousands of dollars worth of val
liable advertising for the Grand val
ley and its resources have been OBJ
tanned in eastern newspapers and
magazines within the past three
months through the efforts Of the
Mesa County Business Association.
Much of this advertising could not
have been purchased at any price.

newspapers, where advertising space
is not sold
The results of this systematic cam
paign are already becoming apparent
in the inquiries and immigration di-
rected this way, and Secretary Meyer
OF the Business association is of the
opinion that this fall and next spring
will see the greatest influx of eastern
people to the Grand valley in years.

SLOWLY GAINING
CONTROL OF FIRES
[By Associated Press. !

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 26.-The re-
ports received today by District For
ester Greeley from the fire districts
of Montana and Idaho reveal the fact
that the general situation is improv-
ing all the time. The fire-fghters
are slowly gaining control and all
the towns and settlements are now
out of danger.
No woEd has yet been received
from Ranger Joseph b. Hahn and his
party. who were last heard from near
the headwaters of the st. Joe river.
w. NJ. Bennett. who is connected
with the Coeur 'Alene & Montana
Mining Company's workings near
Trout Creek, reports distressing con-
ditions in that district. In that ter
ritory hundreds of people have lost
everything they possessed many fam
lilies being made utterly destitute.
All of the mining and lumber camps.
together, with the sa aw-mills and other
commercial enterprises. have been de-
stroyed, while the stock of fish in the
creeks has been killed either by the
heat or by the pollution of the waters
by ash lye. In the hills and valley
countless carcasses of wild animals
and birds are found, roasted and
charred.

citation were syndicated through the
Denver Press Bureau to newspapers
in the east and south having a com
bined circulation of over l Y mill
ions.
In addition to this, the association
has secured much valuable publicity
through the Denver newspapers and
in the various fruit journals and pro-
duce papers. The association during
the fruit season has maintained a
weekly service by mail and telegraph
to the produce papers in all the large
centers. thus creating demand
among the commission men for Grand
Valley fruit.
There is no limit to the advertis-
ing the Grand valley may obtain in
the magazines and metropolitan, pa
pers" declared Secretary Meyer. at
seems to me that the valley has been
making a serious mistake in the past
by contining its efforts to boosting
the real-estate business. The sale of
land is simply an incident in the de-
velopment of this country, and will
follow as a matter of course when set
tiers are attracted to this section.
fhere is no question about the won
derful possibilities of the Grand val
ley which can be exploited in the
east. If we advertise our products.
rather than the land, homeseekers
and investors will follow as matter
OF course.
I'm all the articles sent out
through the association care has been
takea to sivs only such Information
as will benefit the valley; and we find
that the wonders of our resources are
quite sufficient to gain publicity from
a strictly news standpoint The fruit
that is being shipped out from the
valley in carload lots now can hardly
be surpassed anywhere; and, if every
time a man could obtain a little in
formation about the Grand valley
with every peach or cantaloupe or
pear or apple he buys and eats, we
could keep half a dozen stenogra-
piers busy answering their requests
for further information.
| after we have interested man
seeking a new location in the pro-
, ducts of our soil, 1t is time enough to
talk real estate to him. If we can
induce homeseeker to visit the
Grand valley after he has investigat-
ed the northwest, the southwest and
Canada, we can pretty nearly land
him as a permanent citizen"

.P|NCHOT SAYS FIRE
LOSS UNNECESSARY
tBy Associated Press. ]

Washington, Aug. 26.-GiffordP Pin
chot of the National Conservation As
sociation and former head of the gov
ernment forest service, in statement
issued this morning, holds that the
loss of life and property in the re-
cent and present forest fires was un-
necessary.
The disastrous results, he says, are
traceable to the unpreparedness of
the department to dea&-with the fire
situation. He scores those members
of congress who have opposed appro-
priations for the proper equipment OF
the forest rangers; and. in that con-
nection, names Senator Hepburn of
Idaho, whose home town, Wallace,
suffered serious loss; Senator Carter
of Montana. and Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming
"Then men in congress like Hey
burn, Carter and Mondell," said Mr..
Pinchot, who have made light of the
efforts of the forest service to prepare
itself to prevent just such a calamity
as this, have, in effect, been fighting
on the side of the fires and against
the general welfare. If even a small
fraction of the loss from the present
fires had been expended in additional
patrol and preventative equipment,
some or perhaps nearly all of the loss
could have been avoided.
Il believe our people will take this
lesson to heart and insist that the
settlers and their wives and children,
the lumbermen and the miners and
the 2 billion dollars worth of prop
erty in the national forests shall be
, equally protected"

All is in readiness for the 20-mile
race at GAS this evening. Stanley
spent the day at his rooming house
on East Main street alternately lying
on his bed and taking short walks
into the country. He ate fairly good
quantities of food and after each
meal took long walk, then retired
to his room and rested again. He
stated that he was in no way nervous
and he has confidence to burn.
Il do not think that 1t will be hard
for me TO beat him." he gave as his
statement. Il am feeling just fine
and am delighted at the way in which
the weather has cooled off. +"
Saul ran eight miles at five O'Clock
yesterday morning and stepped in a
hole slightly spraining his knee, 9TH
erwise he is in the pink of condition.
He said, Il don't think | will have
any trouble with my knee and the
stiffness will wear off in few miles.
! know Stanley is a good runner but
/ will do my best and am not fright
ened by the stories which have been
told about Stanley. l think Stanley
is fine fellow and hope that l can
beat him"
The only change in the arrange
meuts Is tHdt uudIleI-mlle tIdCh has
been substituted for the ten-lap track.
This is taken to favor the Indian who
is not used to short turns.
Attorney Barnard Welsh, who is
the head official and clerk of the
course said, Il will call the race right
on the dot and while do not antici-
ISsete any crooked work l will call the
race off the second l think it is not
tho HnUaVar thara will
be nothing of this nature as ! am
very favorably impressed with Stan
ley and from my acquaintance with
Saul | know that both men are too
square to try any crooked work"
Five extra policemen with deputy
sheriff's commissions will be employ
ed to handle the crowd and see that
the runners are not interfered with.
Neither of the runners have been
nervous today Stanley stated that
ne was too old head to be nervous
or frightened before a race and the
stolid, impassive Indian blood, in
Halyve eliminating any degree OF
nervousness which might otherwise
effect him in his match with his first
worlds champion"
Betting on the race has been brisk
and there is more Stanley money in
sight today than there was yesterday.
The odds are even and everyone
seems satisfied that an even wager
on either runner is good bet.
The method of running has not
. been divulged by either man and II
is anticipated that there will be In
teresting features from start to fin
ish. Stanley will likely use his re-
markable ability as a five mile run
ner to lap Saul in the first part OF
the race. He might have been able
to do this had the ten-lap track been
retained but with quarter-mile track
1t is hardly likely that he will be able
to turn the trick. This is one good
advantage for the Indian because

might be able to hang onto Sauls
heels by forcing the Indian to pace
him to win the race by his cleverness
in selecting ten-lap track.
But there will be some surprises in
the race and the writer believes that
there is a revelation in store for eth
er man who plans a sprint before the
9th mile is reached. In this respect
both men are playing their own game
for ii is the manner in which Saul
has always run. In the first eight or
ten miles he has always succeeded in
tapping his man and then held to his
lead. Being matched against man
of the same game 1t should prove to
be very interesting and somewhat
humorous race.
The pistol shot will be fired exactly
6:45 and it will mean that the race
will be forfeited if either runner is
not on the scratch when the exciting
moment arrives.
The street car company has made
special arrangements for handling the
crowd and it is golden opportunity
for the people of Grand junction to
witness their favorite athlete against
a worlds champion.
