Stockholders In WrangIe.

Some ten months ago, The Peo-
pies Lumber & Mercantile Company
composed of number of ranchmen
Of this vicinity, was organized at
this place by A. S. Crawford, who
was also manager. 1t was claimed
the local dealers were chrging ex-
horfitant prices for building ma
terial. and the Cooperative compan,
claimed they could sell lumber from
$4 to So per thousand less. and yet
pay their stockholders ten per
cent dividend annually. but after
running some eight months, they
found they were losing money and
the board of directors refused to
endorse personally in order to raise
the necessary money TO keen the
company going. and offered 1t for
sale to the Gibson Lumber company

No man should be without con-
ceit. Neither should be without
modesty. A proper amount of self
appreciation inspires to ambition. An
over amount of conceit makes of him
an ass. A man who has fought the
battle of life even successfully to
middle age, is willing to admit to
himself that there are others in
the world as smart as himself, while
there are others still more shrewd
and far-seeing. Fair judgement and
contentment with ones lot. backed
by industry and a desire to accom-
plish, are elements by no means to
be despised.

Gov. shafroth succeeded in driv

Gov. Shafroth succeeded in driv-
ing his Democratic legislature IN
10 frenzy OF excited action, calcu-
lated to do more harm than its
former apathy, by telling its mem
bers they were about to wreck their
party. He called their attention to
his belief that the people would
not concent to be longer deceived;
that they had now been deceived by
three successive sessions and in
timated that the third deception
would probably break the charm.
Honest John did not confess
these receptions, which he told the
legislature he was well aware Of"
in his campaign last fall. He merely
overlooked them.

Democratic Ex-Governor Thomas
pauses to remark: 1T has been a
custom for each succeeding legisla-
ture to make the past one seem in
memory respectable but, the next
legislature will have a HI of a
time making this one appear re-
spectacle. 1t is not fully under
stood whether Gov. Thomas means
that the succeeding" legislature is
SO bad that the former one seems
to memory respectable by way of
comparison, or whether the at
tempt is made by eulogy. Whether
the ex-governor criticism is merit
ed by the assembly as a body or not
it should make exceptions to indi-
viduai members. Our Delta county

In it's Usual editorial style the

districts one hot off the bat:
"As a general thing an agricult-
ural community has the smallest,
uarrowest, most contemplate mind

ticuiariy true in those agricultural
communities that depend on irriga-
tion-artificial rain-for profit in

the men of small minds, the re

would skin a gnat for his tallow.
The Grand Junction News, just
by way of illustration, publishes
the news relating to the condition
of the fruit crop throughout the
country in two different styles. 1t
prints the news of killing frosts in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
other parts of the country in big
black type-about plea size. The
killing frosts that have wiped out
the peach and pear crops around
Grand Junction were deliberately
lied about and all adverse reports
were printed in agate type.
And yet a traveller who came into
Lake City through Grand Junction
the other day says that the peaches
and pears are gone and the people
are living in hopes of saving part
OF the apple crop. He heard one
fruit grower say that he refused
$4,000 an acre for his land last
year. but would gladly unload now
for $500 per acre"

From reports Crawford appears
to be going around the country try
ing to effect these organizations for
what there is in it to him.
There are many people who appear
to believe that the farmer who has
been successful enough to get money
in the bank, is easy to work on al
most any business proposition, and
they make it their business to work
the business inclination of the farm
er. This is what is called farm
ing the farmer"
IN any business investment the
farmer must get has experience in
the same manner the business man
gets nis-by practice.
Perhaps the best of our business
men of this or any other period, are
from the ashes of one or a series
of failures.
In these days of nerve-wrecking
competition, there are very lew
business ventures that will pay a
profit unless backed by practical ex-
perience, given the closest of at
tention and both aggressively and
economically managed. 1t is rare in
deed that you find a successful mer-
chant who has not the record of a
failure in his business experience.
Should a business man go on
the farm. he would have to learn
how to farm, just as a child has to
learn to walk. 1t is only natural
that the farmer who enters business
on capital he has accumulated out
of successful farming must learn the
lines of his new profession.
The farmer has an absolute right
to go into business If he wants TO
and the merchant may go to farm
ing if he chooses, but either. should
give the matter proper consideration
the more the better-before TAX
ing the step. One had always bet
ter be the victim of misplaced con-
fdence in a small way than in a
large way.
