CITYS GREASE TRAP CLEANER TEARS up JUDGE
WHEELER'S LAWN and LATTER REFUSES TO PAY
DOLLAR FEE COUNCIL MAY TURN OFF HIS WATER

IL the city charges you a dollar
for cleaning your grease trap
And does some SIS or $40 worth
of damages to your tender lawn in
the process
And you refuse to pay the clean
ing bill till the city reimburses you
for your ruined grass plot
And the city comes back and
threatens to cut off your water if
You don't ante up the dollar:
What are you going to do about 1t?
That's the question that Judge
Samuel N. Wheeler is asking him
self today.
Some stime ago Mr. Wheeler re-
ceived the usual water rent bill and
forwarded to the commissioners a
check covering same. less the 81 fee
for renovating the grease trap. The
water clerk came back with a re-
quest for the dollar and Saturday
evening Judge Wheeler's letter in re-
ply was read before the council. In
effect he said he didn't propose to
pay the city for having his lawn
torn up and demanded reimburse
ment from the council.
The commissioners, however,
failed to catch Judge Wheeler's point
of view and ordered the dollar col
lected. Under the ordinance it is
possible to stop the water from a
residence unless this as well as 9TH

CLASS OF CITIZENSHIP OF MESA COUNTY RANGES
HIGHEST IN WORLD SAYS FRED SHAFFER AND He
PROVES HIS CASE-MANY DOCTORS, WRITER'S, ETC,

THAT a higher grade of intelli-
gence is required for the culture of
fruit in Grand valley and that the
rural residents of the county are men
Of larger minds and broader grasp
of affairs than the average of any
other section under the sun is proven
by the long list of orchardists who
at one time held high positions in
the business and professional world"
says Fred G. Shaffer, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce and Fred
can prove 1t.
No complete list of the ranchmen
in Mesa county who were formerly
prominent merchants, doctors,
lawyers, statesmen, etc, has ever
been prepared. but Secretary Shaffer
now has list in course of prepara-
tion. A meager few shows the posi-
tiyeness of his statements:
John l.. Eddy, former managing
editor of the Baltimore American,
spent several years in the valley and
still owns a ranch in the Pomona
section. He was actively engaged
in fruit raising until recently when
he accepted a position as chief of
the European correspondents to all
the Hearst papers in the United
States with headquarters in London.
r. E. Turpin resigned from the
city editorship of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, edited by Col. Hen
ry Watterson, to live on a ranch in
Pomona.
Robert b. Cassells was for years
engaged in the grocery business here,
but is now a member of the agricul-
tural aristocracy.
w. NJ. Smith is a chemist of high
ability; he lives in Fruitvale.
A, f. johnson was prominently
connected with the Colorado Supply
company and has gained statewide
reputation for executive ability and
business Judgment.
Robert C.. Walker, now owner of
a fine tract. but not actively en-
gagged in its culture, was formerly
one of the leading newspapermen of
Kentucky and was a member of the
Kentucky legislature for several
years.
w c. Strain and Eugene Smith
were formerly successful ministers
of the Methodist church. Rev. Geo.
B. LeClere was Presbyterian cler-
gyman and but recently left the val
ley on account of the health of his
wife,
Louis Meyer of Clifton was for
merly city and state editor of the
Denver Times
DR.. IL. w Kettell of Fruitvale was
successful dentist until he engaged
in fruit raising.
w. C. CHATTER of Pomona was
Detroit architect.
Y. b. Mcclure, former county SUI
perintendent of schools and lifetime
high school instructor.
This does not include large num-
-ber of prominent business men
throughout the state who own ranch
property here, but which is worked
by resident managers. Among those
there might be mentioned: Alfred
Crebbin. British consul at Denver:
Hon. ]. F. Dowd of Red Cliff; j. d.
Hustled. Denver capitalist, and large
number of prominent people who
have young orchards in the Iona
and DeBeque section.
Shaffer can we'll prove his CON
tention. The class of citizenry in
the rural districts of Mesa county
is higher than in any other agri-
cultural or horticultural community
of the world

North Dakotans Active.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 1S.-After a
two weeks struggle in the Committee
on the Episcopacy, the matter of re-
firing some Of the chief pastors came
before the Methodist General Confer
ence, and received consideration on
the floor. There were a goodly num-
Der who did not wish to see any of
the old chieftains superannuated, and
at once proceeded to say so in vigor-
GUS speech. For some time they
seemed to carry the entire confer
ence with them. This was especially
true when DR.. Robert Forbes made
a pathetic allusion to the recent do.
nestle bereavement of Bishop Nicely,
which referred to the death of his
wife. The big meeting was carried
away with the sentiment of the hour,
and would no doubt have voted, to
continue these rged men at the head
of the church forever, when Judge
Pollock of North Dakota got the floor,
and in a calm address reminded the
conference that the committee had la
bored at this delicate question for
two weeks, had canvassed the entire
situation, had listened to the aged
bishops themselves, as they repre-
scented their own cases. Called at
tention to the great needs of the
church, and the call for young and
vigorous leadership, reminded the
delegates that we needed more sense
and not SO much sentiment, and clos
ed with strong plea for sober judg-
ment and not for wild enthusiasm in
a moment of unusual excitement. DR..
Buckley, the famous editor of the olo
New York Advocate, spoke in the
same vein, and when the vote was
taken the old heroes were superannu.
ated by round majority, and the
conference now congratulates itself
that it was not caught failing in it's
duty by a wave Of sentiment This
little matter has placed Judge Pol
lock among the recognize. leaders
of the conservative element in this
huge gathering, and demonstrates
that he is able to keep his head in

many sober and sensible men from
their feet.
