eminent. He had the courage to ex-
press his convictions. Some of the
things he wrote for the Grand juno
ton News offended the county officials
and aroused the resentment of the
gamblers and the pluguglies of Grand
Junction. They looked upon him as
tenderfoot from the East, and it was
not long before he was in peck Of
trouble.
Men went armed in Grand Junction,
in hose days, and settled their diff
culties with the gun. The tenderfoot
from Vermont became a marked man.
The gamblers, the dance hall people
and the saloon keepers wanted to get
rid of him. He annoyed them. But
he won the admiration of the sturdy,
earnest, clean-living men of all that
country.
His Life in Danger
At last things came to such pass
that the life of the editor hung by a
thread For three weeks an armed
guard protected him from the men
who would take his life. When he
went out in the street he had pistol
in his coat pocket and his finger was
on the trigger, ready for instant use.
To add to the intensity of feeling, an
election was approaching. The gang
wanted to remain in Office Kingsley
wanted to GUST them. That election
was fought bitterly. When the votes
were counted. the cause of decency had
won. The men whom Kingsley sup
ported were elected, That was the
first regular election in the county OF
Mesa. He had fought for decency, for
honesty and for right, and Grand juno
ton and Colorado were better for his
coming.
The little town came TO have a
pride in the young man from Vermont,
and the following year he was elected
q delegate TO the national Republican
convention, the one that nominated
James G. Blaine for president of the
United States. A few years later when

seeking new treasure houses in the
,onderful land Of riches.
The town had been named Grand
Junction and it had five or six hundred
inhabitants when the mild-mannered,
clear-eyed Kingsley arrived there. He
was from Vermont and had been born
in Alburg, in that state, May 5, 1857.
He had known poverty and had ex-
perienced hardship. He had worked
on a farm, and farm work in Vermont
is very hard. 1t had been difficult for
him to get an education. He was so
earnest. so Woodworking, so eager for
an education that he had won the
good opinion of all who knew him.
He had longed to go to a university,
but he did not have the money. A
kindly farmer had offered to supply
the whsrewithal.
How He Went to College.
Il know" said the farmer, that you
will pay the money back if you live.
Nov, if you will give me security, so
that in case you die / will be repaid,
I will furnish the money"
The farm boy thought moment,
and saw a way. He took out a life
insurance policy for $1,000 in favor Of
the farmer, and he went to the Uni
versity of Vermont. He did what he
could to work his way through college,
and all the actual money he spent in
his first year at the university was
sI65. After getting his bachelors de-
gree in 1881 he went West to Denver,
and there for year he taught school.
Then he moved further West, to Grand
junction.
That raw, boisteroUs little town. at
the junction of the Grand and Gunni.
son, must have been a shock to the
young man from Vermont. 1t had
plenty of dance halls, lots of gambling
houses and many saloons. He wanted
work. What could farm boy or q
teacher do IN Grand Junction at that
time? There were no children to
each; the town was composed oil

Kingsley had to do something. or
return to the East. He was not one
to acknowledge defeat. He studied
the situation thoroughly and saw only
one way in which he would get job.
There was a printer in Grand juno
ton who had a few fonts of type and
an apology for a press. The mans
name was Price. He got out little
newspaper which he called the Grand
Junction News. Price liked the print
ing business, but he did not care much
for the newspaper end. Kingsley
talked with him, and Price expressed
willingness to sell a half interest
in the business If Kingsley would rus
tie up the money to pay for it. Kings
ley did not have the necessary capital,
but he had friend in Wisconsin and
this friend lent the money to him at
seven per cent, and when it was paid
over to Price. Kingsley became editor
of the Grand Junction News.
A new county had been formed in
western Colorado, and Governor Grant
had appointed officers to conduct its
affairs pending a regular election. The
county was named Mesa and Grand
Junction was made the county seat.
Governor Grant was a worthy and
good man, but some of the men he sent
to Mesa county were rather sad speci-
mems. The young editor had his own

The Car that is Rapidly Setting

1T is predicted by shrewd judges that the
Maxwell "25" $3.50 car made by the
Maxwell Motor Company, Detroit,
Mich, will within year be the fastest selling
automobile in the world.
And this isn't such an extraordinary pre-
diction when you consider the many very
remarkably good points Of the Maxwell 49,"
and the present phenomenal demand
A prominent writer who has intelligently studied
the subject said recently that the time is coming
when most families in the United States will own
automobile.
In many places Maxwell t25s'' are used not only
for pleasure purposes, but for business as
WELL thus rendering highly efficient double service.
The Maxwell "25'' Car is unique. It occupies
distinctive position.
