THE RECALL.

The Independent is faclined to
favor the recall privilege as the
greatest of any cf the so-called pro-
gressive measures. II is calculated
to guard against the careless admin
stration of official duties. 1t will
make the people more careful in
their selection of candidates, and
influence carefulness upon the part
of the candidate after he is elected,
1t will constrain both people and Of
eials to be more watchful.
Most of the evils to which the
public is heir come from the careless
ness or cupidity of public officials.
Even the selection of these men
is carelessly or indifferently made,
and this is the fault of the people.
But, when man is hired by the
public and paid by the public to per
form certain public duties, his en-
ployer-the public-should have the
privilege to discharge him If he
proves inefficient or shows that he
is otherwise disqualified.
Under the past and present condi-
tons of long term contracts, the
unsatisfactory or dishonest employe
can go on committing his depreda-
lions just so long as he can avoid
the law penalties attached, to the
cnl OF his term. which may be years
after he has been discovered to be
either worthless or harmful.
The recall smacks of business and
its enforcement would soon be look
ed upon to mean business. And the
sooner business methods are applied
to the management of public affairs.
the sooner the people will get rid
of the grating system and other of
fetal misconduct now so much COM
planned of.

GARRETT. CEDAREDGE WREST-
LER. MAKES GOOD ON TRIP

Delta county is gaining consider
able notice these days for having
furnished a mat artist in the per
son of Clarence Garrett, of Cedar
edge. who seems to handle any and
all comers successfully. Garrett re-
ccltly returned from tour of the
eastern slope during which he en-
gagged in twenty-five bouts and
won all but three of the number.
One of these losses was to Ryan,
the heavyweight of Colorado Springs
and he could scarcely expect to win
q victory over one so great IN aver
dupois. Garrett expects to pull off
a contest or two in Grand Junction
within the next week or ten days.
OF his recent tour of the state, the
Cedaredge Champion has this to
say:
Garrett now claims the middle
weight championship of the state,
as a result of the defeat of Wm.
Fabrey at Cripple Greek on April 4
and 30. He secured the two falls in
the first match in one hour and in
the seccld in less than that time.
The reports circulated that Clar-
ence was in the hospital were true.
but not from the fact that he had
been thrown. In one of his matches
he burned his foot on the ropes and
was laid UP for about three weeks
With blood poisoning, from which
he is now almost entirely we'll.

CHEAP RATES FOR HELP
ASKED BY WESTERN SLOPE.

The counties Of Montrose, Delta
and Mesa are making a strenuous
effort to induce the officials of the
Western Passenger association to Is
tablish a summer rate for fruit la
borers and ranch help on the west
ern slope, and are forming uni
ed effort for this purpose.
1t is the desire of the three west
ern slope counties named to secure
the reduced rate for fruit laborers
sion rates which are granted in t
east to the states of Kansas, OH
homa, Nebraska and Minnesota.
While 1t is known that summer to
ist tickets are on sale to this terri
tory, as wen as elswehere, the final
limit is not sufficient. particularly In
Montrose aad Delta counties.
1t is the belief on the western
slope that where the destination /

OF returning any time up to NovoI
Der 80.
The communication sent to the
Western Passenger association in

the enormous fruit and farm crops
which are assured on the western
slope this fall. and the further fact
that there are not enough people
here to handle them.-Grand juno

REMARKABLE JUNE
SNOW STORMS.

The past week has beel one of
the most notable on record for June
snowsto-ms in the mountain ranges
of Colorado.
The Independent editor was in
position to observe the unusual phe-
nons ma as, between June 12 and II
he did some horseback riding to the
high points on both sides of the Di
vide.
Going over Marshall pass from
Delta on June 9, there appeared very
little snow between Gunnison and
Salida. Coming hcme on Monday a
blinding snows5orm prevailed all
the way over this pass, and easily
six inches of snow had fallen that
day at the summit The white cover
ing was visible nearly TO the foat of
Cerro hill. above Montrose.
East of Leadville, 0l Mosquito
range, the writer was in two snow
storms and was compelled to trail
around drifts en- horseback in getting
uP NAAt SulA IL IOduo arc
ly free from snow at this time of
the year. On the eastern and nor
thern slopes of the mountain ranges
much more snow remains than in
the western part of the state.
AT Delta a cold spell prevailed
but without any accompaniment of
frost, and with the passing of this
period there is no further apprehen-
sion. In Denver almost incessant
rains have prevailed.
While. the season has been one of
the most remarkable on record for
its lateness, crop growth at Delta is
very little behind the average year,
and the first cutting of alfalfa is
now under way.

L. p. PRINTS $4,000 BOOKS
TELLING OF COLORADO.
Benefits to State Are Expected
to Be Immediate and
Lasting.

tuly Nv { eoPico ~ CA~
OF the most expensive booklets ever
printed in the west have been pub
lished by the Union Pacific under
direction OF r. S. Ruble of Denver,
for the sole purpose OF advertising
Colorado The wCrk is SO attrl active
in appearance that it compsls ev-
eryone en- whose desk it may be laid
consciously longs for an Gu ing in
Colorado.
Already the Denver offices of the
Union Pacific are receiving between
35 and SO requests daily for the
booklets, and the benefits to the
gtate are expected to be immediate
and lasting.
All the work 0a the booklet has
been done in D-nver. 1t is filled
viii beautiful pictures of Colorado
scenes. The text was written by a
Colorado man. The photographs
were taken this year by a Union
Pacific photographer and the scenes
presented are new even to the
great majority of Colorado people
Four of the A pages are given to
Denver The comments concerning
every locality in the state are con-
servative. fair to all and in no way
misleading to the stranger.
The work is unique in that. tho
It is a Union Pacific publication, it
is not an advertis ment for the
Union Pacific. Much space is given
to localities far away from the U'n-
ion Pacific and there are presented
! pictures of numerous scenes on com
petitors' lines. Only one page OF
/ the work is givon to telling OF the
merits OF Union Pacific service
The attractions CT all important
towns in the state are catalog-
ed briefly and there is no discrimi-
nation because of location.
Colorado for the Tourist is the
title of the booklet. There are illus
trations on every page and they are
the result of the best in photogra-
ply and engraving.
Every general agent of the com
pany has received copies for distri-
button and they are being placed
with these who will do Colorado the
most good. They are going to Eng
land and Japan and throughout the
United States and every copy is sue
in appearance that it will at once
engage the attention of the busies;
man. The text and pictuers are sc
presented that in fifteen minutes he
will be convinced that Colorado is
the place for vacation and for ia
vestment inquiries.
The front and back covers are in
! colors, true to nature, the front
