DENVER WANTS
EXHIBIT FROM
GRAND VALLEY

Secretary Louis Meyer of the Mesa
County Business association, is in
receipt OF communication from Sec
Rotary Thorndike Deland of the Den
yer Chamber Of Commerce urging the
Grand valley to come forward with
an exhibit for the new display rooms
in the handsome new Chamber OF
Commerce building of that city. This
is matter which might result in
considerable good to local fruit sec
lions and business concerns, If the
matter is taken up and good exhibits
are sent. Denver Is one OF the great
est tourist cities of America and dis
plays there, which would be a credit
to the Grand valley would be viewed
by thousands annually.
The letter follows:
Mr.. Louis Meyer,
Mesa County, Business Association.
Dear Sir
1t is the desire of the committee on
exhibits for the new Chamber of
Commerce building in Denver to have
all Colorado represented in the hand
some display rooms which are to take
up the ground floor. This permanent
exhibition is being installed for the
purpose of showing visitors to Colo
RADIO what We produce and manufac-
ture in our great state. OF the hun
dreds of thousands of visitors that
come to Denver annually, compare
lively few of them have a chance to
travel outside of the city. 1t is Den
ver's aim to give these visitors a COM
prehensive idea of the Industries and
progress of Colorado by having a
complete display of agricultural,
mineral and manufactured products,
farming and mining machinery.
Expert attendants will be in care
of the rooms, take charge of the Wis
itors, distribute literature, and fur
nish information to all inquirers re-
garding COLORADO. By extensive ad-
vertising and special publicity, many
thousands of visitors will be brought
annually to the Chamber of Com
merce building, which is in the heart
of the business section of Denver. 1t
is in the path of thousands of tour
lists who stop in Denver daily.
1t Is the aim of the committee in
~ rye to get enough PEOPLE to take
space in this exhibition room at a
nominal rental to make the room
self-supporting. 1t will be appre-
ciated, therefore, If you give me the
names of the manufacturers or land
companies in your section who will
be interested in placing an exhibit in
the rooma in order that our commit
tee may take the matter up with
them direct. If you take pains to
bring this to the attention of your
members, and others who have pro-
ducts to display, 1t will help us ma
terially in introducing Colorado to
the outside world.
Thanking you for the favor of an
early reply, am.
Respectfully yours.
THORNDIKE DELAND,
Secretary.

TRINIDAD WINS
DECIDING GAME

Trinidad yesterday won the decid
ing game of the series for the inter
mountain and semi-professional
championship, with Hendrix, the iron
pitcher, in the box. Among the
names. however, which appear in
their lineup are not an overly large
number which were familiar during
the greater part of the season.
Cheyenne. which has been under
the managership of Ira Bidwell, d
young man quite well known and
well liked in this city, has been play
ing fast ball all summer. 1t is to be
regretted that the Smudgers did not
have an opportunity to play that ag-
gregation before they disbanded. To
state that we could have beaten them
when we never essayed to try may
seem like assumption on our part;
but baseball critics who have seen
both teams play state that Grand
Junction had the Cheyenne team out
classed in every department of the
sport.
Hester, a well knokn Colorado boy,

BULL TRIES TO
DERA|L CAR

There Is one individual in this
county that is opposed to progress
and the onward march of modern i'm
provements. We are not going to
give his name, for he has no partic-
ular cognomen that we are aware of.
He is a bull, and belligerent one
at that. He has made his objections
known in a most emphatic manner,
as the interurban motormen can tes-
tify,
The other night Taurus tried to
butt one of the big interurban cars
off the track. He stood in the middle
of the track and charged at the head
light as the car came along. Two or
three times it was a test between the
car and the bovine, until finally the
car gave the animal a side-swipe that
cleared him off the track and the car
went on.
But the end was not yet. The bull
picked himself up, shook himself and
waited for revenge.
Before long another car came down
on the return trip, and the bull es-
pied its headlight. When the car
came within range of the animal, he
was standing in the middle of the
track, believing and throwing dirt
over his back in clouds, with rage.
He charged the car several times,
until the motorman shut off the light,
which so bewildered the bull that he

TiBOR'S NAME BEING
TAKEN FROM DOOR

Denver, Oct. 4.-Considerabl re-
greet is being felt by many of the old
timers of Denver at the erasure sof
the name of H. A. w. Tabor from
the Nassau building at Sixteenth and
Larimer. Up to twelve years ago 1t
had been known as the Tabor block.
At that time the name was changed
TO Nassau. And now the letters,
which for thirty-one years stood out
imposingly as monument to the en-
terprise of its builder, have been
chissled from the stone above the en-
trance, The last original mark of
Identification has been obliterated.
On its erection the Tabor building
was conceded the most pretentious of
its kind in Denver.
An old-timer in commenting upon
the incident said: It's a pity the
name could not have been retained.
All the old landmarks, it seems. are
being changed. The imprint of the
well-bnown name on that building
would have been an inspiration to
future builders.
Another old resident asid: at re-
calls to me the motto on the original
drop curtain at the Tabor opera
house, which read: so fleet the
works of men. back to earth again
ancient and holy things fade like a
dream The only building that
still retains the name of Mr.. Tabor
above its doors is, the Tabor opera
house.
