"Purple days will be celebrated this
year on Saturday, June 90, by Salt
Lake lodge No. So, Benevolent Pro
tective Order of Elks and the observ'
ances of the day will be up to the high
standard set by the local lodge in pre-
vious years. On this day of each year
the Elks delight to contribute to the
pleasure of orphan children and tho
members OF the popular order are TAX
ing much interest in the plans for show
ing the fatherless and motherless "hd-
dies the "time Of their lives"
Originally instituted by the order ms
an annual outing on which the mem
bers would devote day to thelr own
enjoyment, the Salt Lake Elks some
time ago evolved the occasion into one
On which they would contribute to the
happiness OF the orphaned, rather than
to their own pleasure. 1t has now be
come the custom for the Elks of this
city to spend "Purple day" in giving
tho inmates of ali local orphanages an
outing at ono of the resorts, and Wan
damere has been selected as the place
for this years celebration.

Will Go to Wandamere.

Early the next day tho orphans will
be escorted to Wandamere by the Elks
and all the attractions OF the big re-
sort will be open to them, Boating, the
merry go o-round, the "Gee~Whiz and
even the ice cream and peanut stands
will respond to the lightest demand of
the juveniles. The little ones will not
lack for escorts, as all members OF the
Elks lodge who arc not detained on
the most important business will be on
hand to show their little guests the
'time Of their ives,' for that is the
"Elk way"
The motordrome Will be given over
to the Elks for the entertainment of
their visitors and baseball, racing and
other athletics will be given for the
pleasure of the little ones.
And the Elks are going to look
around for orphans other than those in
the public institutions, for June 22 is
'tPurple day. and all the young or
phaus are wanted as Elk guests.

Additional Treat Planned.

In addition to giving the little ones
a day OF unalloyed pleasure at the re-
sort, the Elks have planned an addi-
tional treat for their little guests. All
members owning automobiles will bring
their cars to Elks' hall Friday even,
ing, June 81, aud the children will be
treated to ride about the city. Not

Reasons for Failures.

should have a good margin, with short
paragraphs. The paper should not be
glossy, the type should be large and am
pie illustrations OF an attractive, though
simple. nature should bc provided. The
chapters should be short and the paper
should be OF n heavy grade.
Mr.. Christensen was asked many aues-
tions by the delegates. who expressed
considerable interest in tho methods OF
selection Of books. with which he was
familiar.
Mr.. Christensen said. in part:
Pupils should be encouraged 10 pur-

100000 TO Be
SPENl IN 1912
BY. J. R. R.
T. A, SundeI President of Inter-
urban Tell! 3 orado Springs Re-
porter Al = Building Line to
Clifton This Spring.

The Colorado Springs Telegraph
says:
Not less than 100000 will be ex-
pended by the Grand Junction and
Grand River Valley Railway company
this year in extensions to the road
and improvements in the equipment,
according to a statement made today
by President Il. A Sunderlin. The
head offices OF the company are To-
Gated in this city and Mr.. Sunderlin
has taken part of the suite on the
third floor of the Mining Exchange
building formerly occupied by j.
Dawson Hawkins and the executive
force OF the L. S. R. & r. company.
I'VE have plans all arranged"
said Mr.. Sunderlin, FOR building an
extension to Clifton about half way
between Grand Junction and Palisade
or distance of about seven and one
half miles. We have now over 20
miles of railroad in operation, includ-
ing the system in Grand junction and
the line to Fruita, and will ultimate
ly extend the system to Palisade and
probably Iona and other growing
towns We have ordered three of
the large, up-to-date pay as you en-
ter electric cars, 81 feet in length,
which will be ready for use early this
spring. The Grand river valley is
coming to the front very rapidly and
last year the fruit growers received
splendid returns from their apple
crop. The growth of the district
known as the fruit belt" of the
Grand valley is well indicated in the
increase of population which for the
first 10 years of the present century
was 134 per cent"
Mr.. Sunderlin is also general man
ager of the Antlers Orchard and De-
velopment company, operating in the
Aptlers and SILT districts about 60
miles from Grand Junction The
company has recently completed

FACTORY TO HAVE ITS
GREATEST SEASON IN 1872
NEW CONTRACTS ARE READY
5000 Acres Of Bees Signed up So Fa-New Contracts Give the
Growers Larger Percentage May Have $500 Acres
Of Bees Ready for Sugar.

1t was announced this afternoon
by Fred G.. Holmes, manager of the
local sugar factory, that the new or
1912 contracts for the growing of
sugar beets and to be executed be-
tween the growers and the Western
Sugar & Land company, are now
ready for delivery and coupled with
this announcement is the announce
ment that a new scale of prices has
been agreed upon which will make
possible a substantial increase in the
price to be received for the beets
by the growers.
Liberal Contract.
The Sentinel has carefully gone
over the new contract form and its
features and comparison with pre-
vious contracts and the contracts of
other companies convinces Us that the
1912 contract of the Western Sugar
& Land company is the most liberal,
and the best in many other ways is
sued by any sugar company in Col
orado The prices in a very few in
stances may not be as high as offered
by one or two other western compan-
les. but when the other conditions
of the contracts are considered and
compared the advantages of the
Western Sugar & Land company's
contracts with the growers are easily
appreciated.
Big Increases.
Under the new contract the compa-
ny agrees to increase by gradual and
substantial scale, the price of the
beets on the half per cent basis: in
other words make an increase in the
price for each half per cent increase
in the testing sugar value of the
beets Last year the scale in price
