Grand Junction, Oct. 81, 1912
EDITOR SENTINEL
In your editorial in a recent issue
irstructing your readers how to vote
on tne amendments you said TO vote
No on No. 22-the branding of
stock. This bill was introduced in
both house and senate of the
Eighteenth General Assembly. The
senate bill by Carey was first to get
through and was substituted for the
house bill. The stock associations
of the state asked for this legislation
as ii placed the business with the
state stock inspection board, where
II belonged. The Mesa County Stock
men We're unanimous in their de-
mand for the measure and in defer
ence to their wishes, | supported and
helped enact the bill as 1t Is my
position that the men directly inter
Csted in laws know best what is need
ed and should be gTatified unless
other interests are seriously injured.
The work required by the bill is now
done by a department in the office of
the Secretary of State and that Off
cal made a hard fight against the
measure, because il cut down his
machine" force. The law passed but
is held up by the supposed influences
which attempted to defeat it in the
legislature. | am positive the stock
men of this county regardless of poll
teal affiliations favor this measure
and IT should receive the solid vote
of Mesa county. II is the second on
the list of referred bills on the
ballot.

CONCERN
BOOSTS D.8.R.G.

An orchard land company in Iowa
which is selling land in Colorado on
a contract to deliver a bearing orch
ard in a certain number of years,
prints and distributes in its adver-
tisinE the following boost" for Col
ordado.
The distance at which Colorado
fruit Is grown from the eastern mar
ket need deter no one from coming
to this great state. The railroads
take apples out of the Colorado or
chards and lay them down in New
York for Sl.OO a box and at a pro-
portionate charge for less distance
This enables the Colorado fruit
grower to send his fruit into Chica-
so, New York and the other great
eastern markets, in competition with
the eastern grown fruit, on terms
that permit the Colorado apple to
capture the cream of the trade. The
superior quality of the Colorado ap-
pie and the low expense in freight in
getting 1t to market is the winning
argument in favor of Colorado
fruit farm.
80 eager are the railroads to fos-
ter the western apple industry that
the rate on apples eastbound is full
ly one-half less than the rate west
bound, giving the western apple an
immense advantage. From the
Western Slope in Colorado apples,
beet sugar, vegetables and whatever
is raised there, go east at an immense
reduction over the rate ON the same
commodity moving west. The su-
perior facilities for reaching market,
Notwithstanding the distance, is one
TnIptaIn la rIr coll
for such high prices. The other rea-
son is that the soil the sunshine and
the water of Colorado, produce bet
ter fruit than can be grown efse-
where"
This sort of boosting does an i'm
mense amount of good to Colorado,
which has often been referred to as
against in all things
by the railroads. There is room for
more of this narration of forcible
facts in favor of this state.
