A HARD HEART.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous Denver juvenile court said in the course of d recent address on charity
 Too many of use are inclined to think that. one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy.
 An itinerant preacher preached to a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son. He described the foolish prodigals eX- travagance and dissipation; he de scribed his penury and his husk- eating with the swine in the sty; he described his return, his fathers loving welcome, the rejoicing and the preparation of the fatted calf.
 The preacher in his discourse mo- ticed a cowboy staring at him very hard. He thought he had made con vert, and addressing the cowboy per- sonally, he said from the pulpit:
 My dear friend, what would you have done if you had had a prodigal son returning home like that?'
 "'Me?' said the cowboy, promptly and fiercely. I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf '"-DetrOit Free Press.

NEW BUILDING FOR GLENDALE

Sn Glendale is soon to have a public
 hall which may be used for all pub
 lie gatherings and also as dancing
 pavilion. Chas. A. Stauffer will
 build it and work will commence about August l, when MT Stauffer returns from a trip to the coast The hall is to be 42x6O feet and the floor will be of hard wood. The cost of construction will be about s4,5O0. It will be built just back of Mir. Stauffer's present brick block. the three frame houses occupying the place having been removed to ranches last week. Just how many people the new hall will hold has not been estimated, but it will doubtless serve the needs of Glendale for a public hall for many years. Fold ing chairs will be provided when it is used as a hall and removed for dancing. J. H. Melhinch. an eastern man. is Mir. Stauffer's partner in the undertaking. MT. Stauffer ex- poets to go to Santa Barbara Mon day. where he will join Mrs. Stauf- fer and the two will then take a trip to San Francisco.

Counting Out the Elected.

The talk about efforts to count out
Ben Griffith and other Republicans
on the state ticket, is as yet pre-
mature. The fear that, having the
majority and the power, possibly to
do it. has no doubt been father to
the idea, and certain suspicious cir
cumstances, such as holding back
reurtns. has served to fan the i'm
imaginative spark into flame.
1t woul seem though, that no
political party at this day, would
dare to openly oppose the will of
the people as expressed by their ma
jority, for such course would
bring upon its head the wrath of all
honest citizens of whatever party,
and would or should cause the de-
feat of the party attempting it.

Poultry Show.

The poultry and pet animal show
to be held in Delta the first week in
January will be one of the most in
teresting local events in the his
tory of the city. A large premium
list is being arranged and the first
show of the association promises to
be the success it merits.
There are few sections where so
much really fine poultry is raised.
or where purer strains have been
bred, than in the country around
Delta, where many have made spec
ial breeding of fowls a fad.
The exhibits, however, will not be
narrowed down to this small terri
tory. but competition will be open to
the Western Slope. This will insure
q show worth seeing. and one of
the results will be to increase in
terest in a very important industry.

Republican State Secretary
Pleased Over Result.

w. c. Blair, secretary OF the Re-
publican state central committee,
returned to Montrose Sunday after
noon and in an interview with the
Western Empire, stated that he was
we'll pleased with the result of the
elections generally in Colorado.
Five of the candidates on the
state ticket were elected and there
is possibility that two more will
pull through on the official count"
yond question are James f. Garri-
CUES, Justice of the supreme court,
Ben Griffith, attorney general, Mrs.
Il. NJ. Wilson, superintendent OF

sity and Sherman S. Kendall, rail-
road commissioner. l. n. Stevens,
candidate for congressman-at at-large,
and William ]. King, candidate for
regent of the state university are
running a neck and neck race and
either or both may be elected.
Besides" continued MIR. Blair.
the Republicans elected Judge Will
kins in the eleventh judicial dis
trict, district that has always had
Democratic judge. We elected
all county officers in Mesa county
except shreiff and treasurer; nearly
everything in Delta county; every
officer in Ouray county except the
sheriff, and everything in San Mi
guel county.
In my county, Hinsdale, every
thing is Republican with the excep-
ton of clerk and sheriff, and in
Morgan and Douglas the Republicans
get the county clerk, which has
although all of the other county Of
ficials have uniformly been Repub-
licans. In Lake coanty the Republi-
cans elected the sheriff. While the
legislature will still be Democratic
both branches, the Republicans have
gained at least thirteen members of
the house, which will give our
party sufficient to have hand in all
legislation as they will at least con-
troll constitutional amendments mad
emergency clauses, which must be
carried by vote of two-thirds of
all the members elected to the
house.
Asked If he thought the Demo-
Attorney General Barnett in, Mr.
Blair said that while some effort of
the kind might be attempted by
some of he Democratic leaders. he
was satisfied that Mr.. Barnett would
not countenance or be a party to
keep his successful opponent out Of

HIGH PRICES OF EATABLES
ARE on THE DECLINE
Meat, Flour, Corn and Many Other
Articles Of Food Taking .
Tumble.

The papers all over the country
are full of the news that the
prices on food stuffs are to tumble.
There is room for comfortable
decline, and whether true or not,
the news will be hailed as good news
by the consumer.
At least will this be true up to
certain limit. So long as the re-
duction amounts to a Disagreement
al a part of what the hog trusts have
been exto-ting from everybody, 1t
will be hailed with delight, but no
soup-house reign is wanted.
The consumer and producer should
be willing to stand fairly for each
others interests and must always do
that or each will come to suffer. An
equable adjustment is what is need
ed, but this, unfortunately, has al
ways been hard to secure.
There is too much of the shark
in the make up of the American
people. III far too many the craze
to make money overlaps the line of
fairness and trespasses upon hon
esty. This leads to the American
ills more than any other thing. 1t
was the germ that gave life to the
fever of graft. 1t has affected the
seller and the buyer. Now a future
is coming that will cause both to re-
feet. and all signs indicate that
those whose speculative greed has
tempted them into too deep water,
are likely to find that water un-
comfortably chilly.

Stock Shipments.

Unusually heavy stock shipments
have gone out from Western Slope
points this fall. probably Influenced
by the past record dry season.
Whether it is wise or not on the
part of cattle growers to ship too
closely for any such reason, is
doubtful.
There seems to be a law of
nature for one extreme to follow
another, and present indications are
not for another dry season next
year.
We have range for large numbers
of cattle and a new supply can
hardly be brought in to use that
range as cheaply as stock cattle
now on hand can be wintered.
There is little evidene so far
of a prospective severe winter, and
while some of the open range may
be short, the Western Slope ountry
is full of hay.
There is nothing in the outlook
at present to discourage or depress
growers. The next year, if anything,
is more promising for cattle than
has been the past one.

Riots in Mexico.

1t looks like Uncle Sam might
have trouble in Mexico once more.
In fact Mexico is about the easiest
country on earth to have trouble
with. The Spanish blood. the over.
whelming conceit which that blood
inherits, and the old hatred of the
Americans, have caused a perpetual
list of outrages against Americans in
Mexico that should long ago have
received attention from this ma
ton. 1t is not at all unlikely that
the middle generation OF today maH
live to see Mexico a part of the
United States. Even If not de-
sirable. such a step may become
necessary, and without water boun-
daries to separate US. Mexico could
be made a valuable acquisition. one
equally as valuable as Florida.
Texas. New Mexico or the territory
in southern California. When that
is done American people and their
investments will be safe, but not
until then.

FRUIT GROWERS D. & R. co.
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
Large Force of Men and Teams Be
gin Work to Double Projects
Capacity.

Monday morning 35 men and 20
teams begun the work of doubling
the capacity of the Fruit Growers
reservoir at Hart's Basin.
At the recent annual meeting
s5,400 was voted to be expended
for this purpose, and the improve
ment work begun this week will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The capacity of the ditch and
reservoir have been sufficient to
irrigate the 174O acres in cultiva-
ton, but as additional land has been
gradually coming in under the ditch,
it was found necessary to increase
the storage capacity of the reser-
voir. With this improvement it is
estimated that there will be ample
water supply for all the land under
the ditch.
At the annual meeting an entire
set of new officers and directors
were elected with the exception of
]. o. Simpson, who remains secre-
tary and treasurer. Charles Dixon
is the newly elected president, L. C.
Auckerman vice-president and ]. O.
Simpson secretary and treasurer.
With these E. R. Cofey and L. L.
Mcdowell comprise the board of
directors.
The Improvement work is under
the superintendency of Mr. Everett
White
The stock of the Fruit Growers
Ditch & Reservoir Company has ad-
vanced to S55 per share from a
par value of $40 per share, and the
new improvement will doubtless
cause il to go much higher.
