This summer hundreds of cases

where Colorado fruit is seldom seen.
so strong is the hold of the inferior
eastern product which has been the
customary fruit for hundreds of
thousands of houewives for many
decades. The exact manner in which
the problem will be solved will be
determined in the convention, but il
is certain that this meeting will mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars per
year to the fruit growers of Colorado
and the importance of the meeting
should not be underestimated.
Mesa county will be Handsomely
represented at the meeting and 9th
er sections of the state will send able
men to take part in the discussions.

terest in the meeting, and will hear

made to change the fruit distribution
system from trunk line affair TO a

Secretary Antics is working with
mighty effort to add the chamber of
commerce support to the all-impor-

OPPOSITION To
MIDLAND TRAIL
TO Be FIERCE
Hamilton, Back From His Trip,
Says That Heavy Obstacles
Must Be Faced Here.

I'VE have been asleep for two
years on the transcontinental high
way proposition, and this delay may
be our final undoing." declared Jas.
l.. Hamilton, who returned today
from a three weeks visitin the east.
Mr.. Hamilton, who is president of
the Colorado-utah link of the Mid
land Trail Association, interviewed
many OF the prominent automobile
manufacturers of the middle west
who are interested in the proposed
expenditure of $4,000, 900 ON a
paved highway from coast to coast.
Il find that the people Of the
states OF Wyoming and Nebraska are
fully alive to the situation, and for
two years have been working in be-
half of the Overland route. The
Santa Fe Trail Association has been
organized for two years and has n
membership of $4,000. AT present
there is no serious consideration Of
the Midland trail among the big au-
to dealers because it relatively new

The most serious thing that faces
us now Is the preparation of the
road between this city and Provo.

'dlS iIoiI iluluHi Will ne uDlt W go
over the Midland trail in comfort
Unlike Westgard, they do not want
to do any trail blazing. but hope to
make their run TO the coast over
roads of passable condition. Unless
we are able to improve this Utah sec
ticn of the road. we will never have
n fighting chance to be designated
as the first official transcontinental
route
Mr.. Hamilton proposes that the as
socidtiun, OF which he Is the head,
begin at once active steps to influ-
eace the Utah Legislature to provide
for a suitable appropriation for the
road between Cisco and Provo.
Mr.. Hamilton also expects that
Pueblo and Colorado Springs can be
united for the Midland trail if those
cities can be shown the folly of di-
viding their efforts over other pro
posed routes.
a meeting of the association will
probably be called by Mr.. Hamilton
in a few days.

SOME PECULIAR FACTS IN

Denver, Dec. Some queer
things are developing as the votes of
the Nov. > election are being can

In one county the prohibitionists
failed to get single vote. but the
county clerk, after "zeroing" the col

up the result and place 6 votes in
the total column.

Brilliant Legal Battle.
The battle in Judge Shackleford' S
court here last winter was one of
the most bitterly fought in the an
nails of the local courts. Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur l.. Pearse adopted the
child shortly after its birth in Lon

back to her old Grand Junction home
she brought her adopted daughter
with her. Something over a year
ago Mrs. Pcarse died at the home
of her sister. Mrs. A. p. Wadsworth.
In her will she expressed the desire
that the child remain in the custody
of her sister, Mrs. Frank ID. Parks.
To carry ont the death-bed wish of
their sister, Charles p. McCary, Mrs.
