Ella BUILT THE
FIRST WATER
SYSTEM IN G.J.

Daily Sentinel, City:
On the 4th of July next. Grand
| Junction is to celebrate the opening
of the Mountain Water System. 1t
so happens that this will also be the
anniversary of the founding of this
city and county.
| As the coming of mountain water
\ is one of the steps in our city's ma
terial progress long looked forward
to by all old timers, it strikes me
it would be an appropriate occasion
for the pioneers and all old timers to
join in the celebration and process
sion.
1t is now 80 years since this city
and county was founded, and no cell
ebration of that sort has ever occur
red. Why not the old timers wake
up from their long sleep, or rather,
long toll for a living, and get out in
line on this occasion carrying ban
ners showing when the different
groups entered the town.
The celebration of the founding of
town would naturally come only
on 10-year periods. The next would
be 40 years from the start. Few of
the pioneers will then be present to
celebrate. Get out and let us talk
of old times and the improvements
that have come.

this subject, I take the liberty to
call a meeting of all the old timers

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
MEMBERS lGNORE
ROOSEVELT STATEMENT

Chicago, June "a majority of
the members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, after a long ocn-
ference, today unofficially decided to
refrain from comment upon the
statement issued, last night by Col,
Theodore Rosevelt in which the
former President denounced the ac-
tion of the committee in seating the
two Taft delegates from the ninth
Alabama district.
National Committee members,
who generally are accepted as being
favorable to Taft's candidacy, met
today. Some expressed great in
IiAnation at the statement of Col.
Roosevelt, which, they declared, was
deserving of an emphatic reply.
Others, however, counseled against
a reply of any kind and urged their
fellow committee members to ignore
the statement.
This action finally prevailed.
None Of the Taft members would
discuss the meeting after it had con-
cluded.

TWO HOUSES ABLAzE
Fire Department Answers Alarm for
Different Places in Same

The fire department answered
two alarms yesterday, one at 1880
a. m. and the other at 1880 p. m.
The morning blaze was at 81 Nine
teenth street at two-story frame
house occupied by negroes. A few
shingles on the roof were burned
before the fire was extinguished
with buckets Of water. The after
noon fire was just across the street
from the first fire and the location
OF the fire was very similar to the
other, being on the roof. This house
was also occupied by negroes and
the fire which burned a few shingles
was put out with buckets OF water.
The origin is not known. The simi-
larity OF the two fires so near to-
gether and at houses on the same
street opposite each other caused
some comment. Station Nos and
