r. G. Snow, staff correspondent of
the Kansas City Packer, is here to-
day. Mr.. Snow is preparing an ex-
tended article on fruit conditions in
the Grand valley. He says that ap-
pie, peach and pear prospects were
never better throughout the entire
country. only the peaches along
the lakes in Ohio and Michigan are
damaged, says Mr.. Snow. New

found to be untrue. Your showing

Mr.. Snow is greatly interested in
the idea of improving the pack in
the Grand valley and in training and
numbering the packers. He will
probably address the Pomona meet
ing Monday evening on that sub
ject. Mr.. Snow is also deeply in
terested in Manager II. G. Fletcher's
idea of shippers agreement to pre-
vent a car shortage this fall. with
your prospects there must be some
method taken to provide for equip

mean a heavy loss if your perisha-
BILE fruit is left to spoil while empty

said:
1T would be fai Use modesty for me

pressed is the opinion of a member

excused when | say that my appoint
ment was not sought but offered un-
der circumstances that compelled ac-
ceptance and that imposed no politi-
cal abdications of any kind.
Secretary Fisher said that the peo-
pie do not need to be told that the
president is and has been one whose
earnest endeavor has been of a pro-
gressive policy; in fact, enough of a
progressive to have been denounced

POSTAL BANK HAS
TEN THOUSAND
IN DEPOSITS
Deposits for the Recently Established
Government Savings Bank Total
Large Sum-Has Been Hold
ing Its Own During Year.

About $4,000 is the sum of de-
posits in the Grand Junction postal
savings bank.
The institution has well justified
its existence, but it is not rapidly
increasing in deposits as are the
other banking Institutions. The to-
tai cash to the credit of depositors
is about the same all the time since
the 10000 bark has been reached
1t is said that in communities
where a large number of foreigners
or aliens reside that the deposits are
larger This is said to be accounted
for on the ground that there is a
lack of faith in banks by many al
lens who had rather trust their saw
ings with the government. This is
not the case in Grand Junction. how
ever, as the list of depositors in this
city does not include large number
of foreign names by any means.
