Shark Propositions.

| Farmers are not the only victims
selected by swindlers. Neither are
new firms of business men. Some
of the shark gentry take delight
in pitting their wit against the best
financial heads of the country and
their boldness occasionally brings
them out winner.
Recently we read that the First
National Bank of Denver was trying
to recover 5000 which had been Sc
cured from it through bogus ex-
change. Within few months man
deposited a draft for $4,000 in the
oldest Mesa county bank, and after
ward succeeded in getting people to
cash several hundreds of dollars
worth of checks before the bank
could telegraph and discover whether
or not the draft was bogus.
This bank should have been held
responsible, for it's management had
no business right to accept such
check, other than for collection. Its
book, showing the credit, was evil
dence of the deposit.
In this day and age it behooves
anybody to keep both eyes open, for
the stranger at the gates may be the
cutest proposition in all the shark
tribe

STATE STOCKMEN TO MEET.
Big Convention Called to be Held in
Denver, March 2-3.

The Eleventh Annual Convention
of the Colorado Stock Growers AS
sOciation is called to meet at the
Albany Hotel, in Denver, on March
2 and g. 1t has heretofore been the
custom of this organization to hold
its annual convention during stock
show week but the show has grown
so large that it leaves no time for
anything else. The railroads have
made a rate of one fare for the round
trip from all territory beyond $50
miles from Denver, and elsewhere
a fare and one-third Sam Dutton
of the Albany has assumed the job
of entertaining the delegates while
they are in Denver, and this fact
alone would bring a crowd.
The State Stock Growers Asso-
citation has grown to be the largest
and has great influence all over the
state. 1t represents some 1000 far
mers and stock growers, and it's
meetings where the live stock situa-
tion in the state is considered, and
the actions of the conventions have
far-reaching influence over the in
dustry. Local associations that are
members of the state organization
are permitted to send as many dele
gates as they please, but each dele
cation is entitled to a certain vote,
guaged by the number of members
they represent and the number of
stock owned.
A number of important bills are
l..
a large attendance is expected at
the comm convention because of the
importance of the business to be
considered. The entertainment pro-
gram includes a smoker and other
features. The Albany Hotel will be
the Headquarters.

Lincoln, then Taft

Advise Abstinence.
The letter of President Taft to
his young friends, was read in the
Sunday schools of the cities through
out the land Sunday: 1t is as fol-
lows:
THE excessive use of intoxicat-
ing liquor is the cause of a great
deal of the poverty, degradation and
crime of the world, and one who alb
stains from the use of such liquors
avoids dangerous temptation.
Abraham Lincoln showed that he
believed this in writing out for his
boy friends the pledge of total
abstinence, so often quoted.
Each person must determine for
himself the course he will take in
reference to his tastes and appe-
tites; but those who eercise self
restraint to avoid altogether the
temptation of alcoholic liquor are
on the safe and wiser side"

Prospects Good For Fruit.

So far it is agreed that Western
Slope prospects for a big fruit crop
are fine. The usual dangers remain
from spring freezing after the buds
are out, but many orchards are pre-
pairing to fight the frost effects by
vigorous smudging. An early spring
is looked for, following the excep-
tionally open winter, and this serves
to tighten the apprehension of
dangerous spring frosts. Through
the mild January and February
weather, some of which has been al
most suspiciously warm, there has
been regular night freezing. suf-

One who has not been in that

number of substantial buildings that
have been erected there within that
period.
Evidence presents itself on every
hand that the building boom has
come to Cedaredge to stay.
The class of new buildings at Ce-
daredge is fully up with those of
other good towns in the county In
architecture and finish they are mod
ern and present a very attractive ap-
pearance.
Among the welcome improvements
is the enlargement of the Cedar
