The coming week will md the Ma
tionaIs up against thee Mackmen Mon
day and Tuesday and New York during
the last four days. Groom and Hughes
win probably both face the Athletics
and Waiter johnson saved for at least
two games against the Yankees.
The Highlanders and the st. Louis
Browns occupy the cellar positions,
and there Is no reason why the
Nationals should not get away, with the
majority OF games against this bunch.
New York plays tow games here on July
4. Thursday and II Is most likely that
a doubIe-header will be billed for We'd
nesday. as there is one extra day com
ing to the Gotham club. owing to a
postponement when the HiEhlanders
were here early In the spring. It Is
probable that both Moeller and Morgan
win be back in the game before the
present week closes, and with this pair
hitting the ball, there Is bound to be
big difference in the showing Of the
club.
The Nationals and Athletics have met
fourteen times already this season and
Washington has won but four games.
Philadelphia Is the only club In the
league which has the edge on Grifrs
youngsters in the series. Even Boston,
the league leaders. are one game behind
as IN the matter Of wins and defeats.

interested in the outcome Of the big

November 20, 1912.
To The Daily Sentinel:
The Sentinel knows that we have
a scenic spot close To- our doors. and
that it behooves u TO advertise it:
that is, to make II known.
There isn't any use for the govern
ment to set aside places Of this kind
unless appropriations are made to
make them accessihIo.
Truly. we may expect a great
shake-up in the EuE ernments con-
servation policy res rdinE the forest
reserves when our own governor gets
into the senate. Everybody should
read his Kansas Cit speech on con-
servation, that can" nut in the Con
gressional Record ear or two ago.
With our Monun ur park and the
natural bridges in ltah and other
reserves of this order the question is
little different. DO amounts to this
much: Should the government turn
them over to the stale at SIPS an
acre Tin nature, Worthless agricul-
tural landl, or shall The government
hold title and furnish the money to
improve them for al the peoples ben
efit?
In July flag was sent to us from
Washington by the commissioner Of
the general land ofli0o We have it
on hand, and preparations are being
made to properly place it.
The independent tower in the
canon cannot be seen from every
place in the valley. 4 high point of
the rim rock at the entrance of Mon
ument canon has been selected where
the proper pole for this flag shall
stand. This pole will be built out
of concrete, with steel pipe for a
core. | have conferred with Commits
sioner Vedder in regards to such
pipe, that we might get it in with
city pipe order. To build this flag
pole upon a high point will be some
what of a ticklish job. The concrete
must be of extraordinary quality, and
must be poured into the pipe and the
/ form around it from the top. a hun
, dred feet high. This flag is worth
/ it, | hope YOU will all agree with
me.
A letter has again been sent to
Z President Taft containing an invita-
/ tion to come to the Grand valley at
/ Thanksgiving. The contents of the
[ letter did not hurt the president; 50
/ there's no harm done.
! President Taft by proclamation, in
answer to the peoples petition, has
set these IA, 900 acres Of rough coun-
/ try aside. We hope that before his
/ term expires he will sign the bill Civ
I ing us an appropriation. Perhaps he
| can come when this concrete flag
pole is finished and when the flag
shall be raised to the top.
In regards to the matter of dedi-
eating the spot on the high rim rock,
/ the people can, each one in their
own way, have little thought about
! this affair on SUNDAY. December /
If the weather permits, a fire will
be built on the front rim rock indi-

shall stand, perhaps the only one of
