Colorado Apples for Eoreianers.

Grand Junction.-An effort is to be
made this fall to place Colorado APP
pies on the English and German mark
cts. Colorado apples are now sold
in nearly every part of the United
States, but the price paid in the for
eign markets for high class fruit is
much higher than in this country and
it is believed that the introduction of
Colorado apples into England and Ger
many will mean a large increase in
the profits OF fruit growers. The
United States consul at Hamburg has
been in communication with T. F.
Mahoney of the Grand Junction Cham
ber of Commerce for some time an,
is anxious to see the Colorado fruit
placed on the German market. A $
pie shipment has already been ar
ranged for and Mahoney is confident
that Grand valley fruit can be sold at
a big profit to the German commission
men.

CITY PAINTED BAD BY
DR.. H. O. BREEDEN
Says Rock Island Is One Of Worst
Morally He Has Observed in
His Travels.

Gambling and Prostitution" was the
subject of a sermon preached by DR..
H. O. Breeder to an audience of men
at Memorial Christian church yester-
day afternoon. The speaker did not
refer to local conditions except in a
general way. He said: 81 have been
all over the world. and during the last
few years have held meetings in many
of the cities of the United States, but
| have never been in a city where vice
and immortality is so rampant and bold,
and where there is so much corruption
as there seems to be in this beautiful
little city of Rock Island. II is not my
intention to engage in a wholesale de-
nunciation of public officials, but sure
" some one is to blame for the low
moral condition of the city. 1t is up
to the business men and the laboring
men and all good citizens to see that
clean. honest, upright Christian men
are chosen for Office at the coming
election
At the morning service DR.. Breeder
preached on Things to Think About"
In the evening his topic was Can a
Morality Save a Man," The Limit
brothers sang at all of the services.
The Conversion of the Greatest In
fidel of the Ages" is to be the subject
of DR.. Breeden's sermon tonight. II
last night. but the interest has become
too great that Dr. Breeder was prevail
ed upon to remain few days longer.

HER CHANCE.

She had 1t in her power to make him
strong.
To lead him to a seat among the
great:
To make him sec the right and shun
the wrong,
To wake within his soul a vibrant
song.
To soothe the wounds that filled his
heart with hate.
She might have led him from tempta.
tons snare.
And fed the fire of hope within his
heart:
She might have claimed the splendid
right to share
With him renown. unlimited. and fair.
And won unstinted credit for her
part.
But. longing for a glib fools empty
praise,
And caring less for honor than for
dress.
She crushed him whom she had the
chance to raise,
And thinking herself wrouged, drag
ged out her days
In wretched and unpitied loneliness.
