SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

In the Jewish calendar today is the ninth of the month of Alb or Av, and a day of tasting and prayer, of sad and solemn memories. In this city and throughout the world impressive and Inournfu1- services will mark the fast, which commemorates the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem by the Ro- man soldiers in the year 70 A. D. In most. orthodox synogogues the wor- shippers remove their shoes before the service begins. Dirges called kinnoth are ,recited and selections are read from the book of Lamentations and other Jewish holy works
 ninth of Alb is the collection of funds for forwarding the Zionist back to Palestine" movement Zionists throughout the world have agreed up on this day as an appropriate one for the solicitation of. funds to aid the movement for the restoration of Pal estine to the Jews The destruction Of the temple and city of Jerusalem by Titus spelled political death to the Jewish nation, but the spirit of hope for the future now enHghtens the grlef for the past
 For years before the tragic event which is cornmemorated today the Jewish peopIe were in revolt against their Roman masters In A. D. 69 the country was ravaged, and almost the entire population driven into Jerusa- lem. There they were bes1esed by IT. tus. son of the Emperor Vespasianus, o+ +ba head of a force of SO,O00 vet erans of the legions. Titus offered hon orabIe terms if the defenders of the city would surrender, but his envoys were met with a shower of arrows.
 Irnmediat tely the Romans turned up- on +he sacred city of the Jews all the enginery of warfare known at that Ftine. and soon battered down the out CT wall. The second rampant stood firm for time, but within the city starvation and terror reigned- Of the tragic siege, which was to mark the downfall of an ancient nation, R1idpath has written:
 Famine began to gnaw at the vitals of the city. The factions hawked at and tore each other. and the distress

 Finally the blower of Antonia was carried by assault, and the engines vera brought to bear upon the temple or Mount Mor1ah.

LET FOR
 LIGHTS ON BRIDGES.

The contract to place lights on the five city drawbIidges as required by orders from the Federal departm ent of Commerce and Labor, has been awaroed to Fitzpatrick .!& Hotz of this city. This firm was the lowest bid der, it's bid being 1928 for the work. There are 40 lights to be placed with the lighting and cable connections. Failure to place the lights may mean a fine of $10O per day for each day after the order is issued. There is no appropriation to provide for the work but Mayor Wilson said this morning an effort would be made to find the money.

Although the address of Judge

the services were none the less i'm
pfessive OF interesting. The open

More than 400 people attended the

Mr.. Wheeler extended his general

not only paid high tribute to the vir-

EXTEND DIVISION
TO Cotton, RUM0R
Rio Grande to Abolish Helper as
End Of Green River Run, is
Persistent Report.

That the division point at Helper
will be changed to Soldier Summit
or Cotton in short time, is the sub
stance of persistent rumor among
railroad men on the Utah lines, and
1t Is believed that the announcement
will be made within the next three
or four weeks.
The reason for the change is that
for the II miles between Green Riv-
er and Helper enginemen and train
men are paid for 100 miles work. If
the division is extended to the top
of the Wasatchs on the detour the
men would earn no more than at
present and the company would get
nearly 25 miles more work out of
them.
Local officials of the Rio Grande
have no information of the change,
but announcements of this sort would
naturally come to other division
points first
Green River railroad men natural
ly object to the proposed change not
only on account OF the increased
length of the division, but because
most of them have established their
homes in Green River and don't want
to have to make any changes.
If the Helper division is moved it
will leave the $4,000 railroad Y.
NJ c. A. building 25 miles from the
end of the run. and will make Help
er a town of about one thousand peo-
pie, instead of a thriving little city
of nearly four thousand.

POST OFFICE
PLANS HERE;
3-sT0RY BASE
Can Add Upper Stories With
Little Expense; No Change
in The Floor Plan.

The new postoffice plans are here.
1t is not the federal building that
Grand Junction had hoped for. 1t
is just a postoffice. but even so
Postmaster Price thinks that the
treasury department sincerely in
tends to increase the size of the struc-
ture within few years to what n
government structure in Grand
Junction ought to be.
The foundation and first floor
plans of the proposed building are
Just as they were In the original
building. There has been no cheap
ening of the design or finish and the
piling and concrete underpinning of
the building is just the same as for
the proposed three-story building.
A tile roof that can be taken off at
q cost of not to exceed $4,000 covers
the one-story affair and will doubt
less give place to one or two added
stories when the Colorado senators
are ready to give an added appropri-
alton.
There are no roc ms for the wealth
er bureau. reclamation service, drain
age office or other United States Of
ficials. The entire floor is given
over to the postoffiee. The build
ing will be complete in every way.
except that it will fall far short of
the original plans
Bids for the new building will be
opened n4lhe- office, OF the. supervis-
ing architect on January 6, and il is
believed that this time the lowest
bidder will be warded the contract.
and construction will start at once.
After seeing the plans local citi-
zens are agreed that their efforts
to have Senator Shafroth increase
his appropriation should not be re-
laxed. If the senator will give $780,
600 out of his apportionment next
spring instead of $4,000 the build
ing will simply be increased in size
as rapidly as possible. Possibly new
bids will be called for. At any rate
the Chamber of Commerce, city
commissioners and other interests
will continue to urge the necessity
of a larger structure on Senator Shat
roth until the appropriation is either
made or definitely denied.

Passengers and trainmen on the
delayed trains tell wonderful stories
of the record-breaking drifts east of
Pueblo. No. 5 was pulled in by three
engines just behind the rotary last
night as far as Pueblo. and had O
hard time getting through, There
was no wind or blizzard. but just a
steady, businesslike snow that could
hardly be bucked with the best equip
ment at the roads command.
Fourteen trains marooned in the
drifts between Denver and Pueblo
met No. as the latter train fought
it's way west yesterday. There was
no suffering as all the engines were
able to keep steam up to heat the
trains and with the exception OF the
SANTA Fe, all the trains carried din
ers and the passengers were fed at
the roads expense. Provisions we're
rustled for most of the Santa Fe
trains and there were no reports of
serious discomfort.
Thirteen engines were In Salida
this morning to help pull the regu-
lar trains through the drifts.
