NEEDSTORAGE
FOR CHOICE:
APPLES

In letter which will be issued to-
morrow to the fruit growers of the
valley the Grand Junction Frurt
Growers association is sounding a
warning that all the lower grade ap-
pies should have storage places pro-
vided as soon as picked. The market
Indications are such, says the letter,
that only the fancy and extra fancy
stock should be thrown on the mar
ket. Inferior bulk stuff from midGie
western states will reach the markets
at about the same time the local pro-
ducts will leave the trees. The asso-
citation therefore advises the storing
of this stock until the bulk apples
are exhausted. In this way the fan
cier grades from the valley will have
a more favorable competition.
In spite of the fact that the early
peach markets are demoraliZed, Man
ager Fletcher is hopeful that the
Elbertas will demand satisfactory
prices. He declares, however, that
the best sales will be from the goods
of highest quality.
Last year the pear market slump
was due to the fact that our goods
reached the market at the same time
as the heavy California shipments.
This year the coast stock will be eX-
hausted by the time the Grand Valley

mistic, therefore, of a good pear mar

800 SHEEP
LOST ON HILL

Three hundred sheep are lost some
where between Grand Junction and
the summer range of the Goslen
herds on Pinon mesa and all the
efforts of the herders have been in
vain in their search.
The sheep with 600 more were lost
on their journey from Cisco to the
Pinon mesa range. They arrived here
and were checked all right, but some
where on the way to the top OF the
mesa they were lost. Six hundred
of the missing woolies were caught
yesterday, but it seems impossible to
get the rest as they are very wild
and scatter at the first approach.
The search, however. has not been
given up by any means.

STATE FAIR
TRIAL IS ON

Denver, July 16.-The mandamus
suit in the state fair case will come
up for hearing in Judge Whitford' S
court today. Attorney Benjamin
Griffith will represent the states in
terest, while Thomas H. Hoffmire
will appear for the fair association.
Suit was instituted to force the au-
ditor to pay the money appropriated
by the legislature for the benefit of
the fair. The trouble came about
because of the fact that the appro-
priation was placed in the fourth
class, therefore the state auditor
claims that moneys in this classifi-
cation We're not available Hence he
refused to honor the voucher.
