Athletics Encouraged.
The athletics now encouraged by

ball team which has played several
match games this year with the teams
OF surrounding towns; and there is
also a boys basket ball team which is
scheduled for several match games. A

Many Cling to
Pioneer Methods

There are 1000 people in Grand
Junction who make a constant prac-
tice of getting all their mail through
the general delivery window said
Postmaster Price this afternoon
Some of them are people who are
permanent residents of the city and
valley and could have their mail de
liyered if they but said the word
They seem to prefer asking at the
public window" continued Mr..
Price.
In the Colorado Springs postoffice
the postmaster has made a recent or
der that no person will be allowed to
receive mail at the general delivery
window for longer period than 80
days unless they can give the post
master signed statement giving
good reason for their getting mail
that way. In the Springs the enor-
nous tourist population makes the
congestion at the general delivery
window "A serious problem.
Postmaster Price says that the To-
cal office is not troubled much that
way yet, but that, if they are later
on, the same rule will probably be
put in effect here

In spite of the fact that he has been made
the object of the most vicious unwarranted and
malignant attacks made on any candidate on the
local democratic ticket, Charles +. Schrader the
present sheriff on Mesa county, stands sodav as
one OF the strongest candidates the ticket, and
his reelection seems assured
Schrader is making his for reelection on
the strength of his record in office during the past
six years. He has been square; he has been fair;
he has been faithful, and he has been impartial
in the discharge of his official duties and no
Colorado county ever had a better sheriff. Fur
thermore, under his administration, the sherffs
office has proven money-maker for Mesa coun-
ty. Charles f. Schrader, during the years of
1907, 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911, turned into
the treasury of Mesa county, and above all
the expenses of his office, the handsome profit
of $S,47S.29. No such record has ever before
been made in Mesa county in any other western
Colorado county The man who was in office
before Schrader became sheriff and who is now
running for that office against Schrader did not
turn back $1,000 to the county during all the
five years he in office, and the last year he
was in office he NOT ONLY DID NOT TURN
ANYTHING BACK, BUT THE EXPENSES
OF HIS OFFICE EXCEEDED THE RE
CEIPTS.
The enemies of Schrader are doing two
things to try to bring about his defeat: They
hoping for the election of Struthers, and, in
their effort to realize this hope, they are further
ing the candidacy of the socialist, S. B. Hutchin-
son, in the belief that Hutchinson will get votes
that should properly go to Schrader and thereby
let Struthers slip into the office as result of
a split vote Just like Struthers slipped INTO the
primary nomination when he failed to poll NJ A
JORIII of the votes by several hundred.
But Charlie SChrader is going win. The
people are gong to that; and today his
candidacy is more popular and stronger than ever
before.

liable to taxation 1t is calculated
that the water tax imposed by the
district on this land would be several
hundred dollars annually-possibly
$1,000. Not only would this be pro-
hibitiye for the city to pay but a
provision in the deed from the Palmer
estate cites that in case the land is
ever subjected to taxation II will re-
vert to the original owners.
Whether the irrigation district di-
rectors can be induced to exclude the
park from the tax rolls or not Is not
known. 1t is said. however, that If
the sum Is assessed against the park

A short time ago one of the eXecut-
ors Of the Palmer estate announced
that he hoped within short time to
relieve the city from the obligation
of expending $1,000 year on the
tract. When this is done the city
commissioners plan to spend only a
small sum annually until the land is
cleared away, after which they will
make larger expenditures in putting
it in shape.
The tract was taken over by the
city at the last municipal election
by vote of the people.

At ONE O'CLOCK
Pathfinder Car Damaged and
Whole Party Is Delayed;
Fears Were Felt.
By HOWARD l. PIATT.

Cisco, Utah, Oct. 31.-Five motor
cars arrived here at l o'clock today
but, on account of an accident to the
pathfinder car, the others stayed
with it.
We encountered very heavy roads
on account Of the rain, and all cul-
verts were found washed out and
had to be replaced before proceeding.
All local cars have made the trip
so far without accident.
The above dispatch, received early
this afternoon by The Sentinel was
the first word received in Grand
Junction from the Midland Trail auto
party which left this city yesterday
morning enroute to Salt Lake city
From the time they left Mack at
l1:3O yesterday morning no word
had been received here from them
During the afternoon, however,
about 20 kilograms were delivered to
friends and families of the excur-
sionists.
Evidently the autoists had a most
disagreeable night of it. and. before
proceeding. had to construct bridges
and culverts afross every wash in
the road.
II was generally supposed that the
party could reach Cisco last night
but the failure of anyone to hear
from them caused more or less un-
easiness. which increased during the
day until The Sentinel received its
message from Mr., Piatt. staff cor
respondent Of the Daily News, and

put the pathfinder machine in shape
