bARTLETTS BEST
EVER PRODUCED

Recommendations we're issued yes
terday by the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association asking for the
picking of the Bartlett pear crop at
Palisade, Fruit Ridge and Orchard
Mesa tomorrow. The big crop of
Bartletts will begin moving next week
and the local association platform
will enter on its first real busy pc
riod.
1t is believed by association Off
cials that the first shipments from
this section will not find as favorable
a market as some of the stock which
comes week or so later. The Cali
fornia Bartletts have been moving
at the rate of so cars day for some
time. and will continue until next
week. The last of the California
stuff will reach the markets about the
same time as our first shipments.
1t is conceded by ALL however, that
the Bartlett pears in Grand valley
this fall are of the highest quality
this or any other district has ever
produced. Inspectors declare that the
fruit is absolutely perfect and that
the average grade this year is better
than the best stuff the valley has
sent cut in the past two years.
California pears have been damag-
ed and deformed by frost as were the
Grand valley pears, and it is expected
that higher prices can be secured
this year than the California crop.
The conditions are very favorable
to profitable season for pear grow

SAYS POSTAL SAVINGS

The development of the postal saw

been extremely interesting" said

convention.
After a little more than 4 year
since the conclusion OF the four
months experiment with the system
and the consequent establishment and
continuous extension of the projsrt, it
is most gratifying to that
there are now in successful operation
lo.169 postal savings repositories with
1857 offices designated for opening
in the hear future. while fourth
class offices are being selected at the
rate of 1000 a month. The volume of
business lie increasing with normal
firowth. the last figures for total de-
posits being $4,000. 900 with a pros
pect OF reaching $50. 900, 900 by the end
of the fiscal year.
Already q Benefit
That the country has already bene-
flied by the establishment of this sys-
tenn is without question. Hoarded
savings have been put back into cir
culation and the depositors and ma
ton have been mutual gamers. The
banks no longer have any dread of the
system. since they have learned that
they benefit by being used as depo-

HARLM FLIES EIGHT
MILES IN BROKEN
AER0PLANE
Lccal Aviator Thrills a Big
Crc.yd at Brinsmade With
Sensational Act.

Fred Harlm, aviator for the Ken
worthy Aeroplane Exhibition Co. of
this city. performed a feat at Brins-
made last week which caused a big
sensation in the immense crowd that
thronged that city on Gopher day.
Shortly before the Grand Forks air.
man left the ground Banker Ose of
Brinsmade, helped clear the field OF
the crowd so he would have a clear
straightaway to rise from. Then Mr..
Ose Jumped into his auto and started
to get into clear himself and hit the
aerlon of the aeroplane v'hile pro-
ceeding into clear. The aerlon is a
wing, placed between the two wings of
the air machine and is used for bal
anctng purposes.
For a time it looked as though the
flight would be delayed but Harlna,
who is an experienced balloon jumper,
ex-auto and motorcycle racer and has
plenty of nerve. decided to make his
flight despite the biz handicap and
sailed into the air After going about
Il mile the aerlon snapped clear from
the machine and was knocked many
rate of 400 revolutions a minute.
HARM intended after this happened to
land and seeing a clear spot about a
! mile away, started in that direction.
On arriving at the clearance, how
ever, he was floating through space in
good shape and decided to continue
the flight. He proceeded for a dis
lance Of three miles and h~ighballed a
| big extra gang working on the rail-
road, and was given quite an ovation
by the foreigners, many of whom had
never seer an aeroplane before. Then
the F%lickertail birdman circled, came
back to the Brinsmade grounds and
landed within twent yfeet of where he
started from. after completing a dis
lance of ten miles. at an average
height of 900 feet.
Harlm will undoubtedly make good
as guider of the Kenworthy compan.
machine. He has plenty of nerve, coo,
headed in the air. and besides being
we'll versed in the flying game. is ar
expert mechanic and knows his e
CINE, which is one of the biggest feat
ures of awaiting.
The company has a number Of
dates already closed and many more
pending. The success of Harlm's
fight at Brinsmade has shown North
Dakotans tina he is in the game tc
make good. barring the inevitable &C
cidents which befall the best of avi'
ators.

NORTH DAKOTA MEN PR0GRESSNEs
' ALL THROUGH SAYS JOHNSON Of LANMN
Alternate Delegate From This State Praises Men From
Fhekertail State-Clai,ns They Followed Will of
People at Every Stage.

Il. n. johnson. a lankin banker,
and alternate delegate from North pa
kota to the republican national con-
ventton, passed through Grand Forks
this morning enroute home after his
strenuous week in Chicago.
You can say that the North Dako-
ia delegation were progressives all
through and that they followed the
will Of the people Of this state at
every stage Of the game.'' he stated.
There is absolutely no truth to the re-
port that LaFollette instructed the
FIickertail mel to go over to Taft.
The North Dakotans. if they could
have nominated Roosevelt would have
voted solidly for him. but the colonel's
name was neve presented to the con-
vention. SO they went through with
their instructions from the voters of
this state. and voted solidly for LaFol-
lette. The reason the Wisconsin dele
} cation split was because of a personal
difference with McGovern, governor
OF Wisconsin. Before the delegates
went into the convention they were
slated to vote for Lauder Of North Da-
kota for chairman and they did. Pol
~ out his Instructions from the peo-
pie to the letter.
Lauder Won His Fight.
Lauder OF Wahpeton deserves CON
siderable commentator for his fight
in the credentials committee. He was
the only North Dakotan in there and
even after the fourteen Roosevelt
members Of the committee had bolted.
Lauder stayed and single handed car
1ied out his fight for progressive prin-
ciples In the committee and won his
point. The Taft men wanted to limit
debate to ten minutes but Lauder
strenuously opposed this and the Taft
men admired his stick-to-it-ive-ness
to such an extent that they practically
let him write the rules for the creden-
tials committee. OF course the steam
roller was applied anyhow and this al
