Resolutions
Adopted by
Gathering

The following is the text of the
Walker resolution adopted by the
mass meeting of citizens last night
around which the local commercial
organization will be built:
BE it resolved by the citizens here
assembled, that the interests of the
community can best be served by a
continuance OF the chamber of COM
merce, the organization which for
more than ten years has led in all the
movements for the development and
growth of this section, and which has
accomplished vast number of good
and great things.
BE it further resolved that the
name chamber of commerce be re-
tained, as 1t would be unwise for
many reasons to assume new title
and because the vast majority OF
boosting organizations throughout
the country bears this name.
"Be it further resolved that a COM
mittee of six citizens be appointed al
this meeting to make any changes In
the constitution or bylaws OF the
chamber of commerce that may bt
deemed necessary in order tc
strengthen the organization, to in
crease the membership, and to make
the chamber OF commerce more ef
fective in every way"

BOARD DELAYS ITS
ACTION ON MULN|X

Harry E. Mulnix spent some time
with the board of county commits
sloners this morning on the subject
OF his contract for making the coun-
ty audit. He has a contract for the
work in'1913 and 1914 but asks that
he be formally employed for this
year. His bill for 1926 for auditing
during the past six months has not
yet been allowed but probably Will
be in day or two.
The commissioners have not yet
acted on the Mulnix matter except to
pass commendatory resolution and
the matter will probably be delayed
until the suit has been settled.
The resolution is as follows:
Be it resolved, by the board OF
commissioners for Mesa county that
Whereas. Harry E. Mulnix has au-
dited the books of the offices of Mesa
county for seven years last past. and
has made reports Of his findings to
this board during this time; and
Whereas, This board believes that
said reports have been true and cor
rect;
Now Therefore be it Resolved
That this board commends the said
Harry e. Mulnix for his efficient SER
vice rendered Mesa county.

TO between $4,000 and $4,000. This
latter amount will be used by the
Palisade to pay off outstanding in
debtedness represented by material
or hand.

De BEQUE TOWN
FILES ON OIL
IN CEMETERY
City Makes Claim TO Oil and Gas
in Acreage Set Aside For
Park and Burial Place.

The town of De Beque yesterday
filed an oil claim on its city park and
cemetery. The filing was made for
the city by S. X. Walker, as mayor.
and George b. Noble. as clerk. and
the citizens of that hustling little
town viii soon have the only muni-
cipal oil and gas well in the United
States.
The filing followed Immediately
upon the neels of the recording of a
patent from the United States to the
city of De Beque. of 100 acres of
land north of De BeQue for park and
cemetery purposes. This grant was
made through Congressman ed T.
Taylor in 1912, under the provisions
of an old law but the deed was never
been filed. IL was sent down yester-
day. 1t bears the signature of Pres
ident William II. Taft.
Immediately thereafter the oil and
mineral filing was made. these
rights having been reserved to the
United States by the deed. II is more
than likely that If the oil proves the
success that is anticipated the city
will bore its own we'll. and be able
to supply municipal gas with little
or no charge to consumers, and be
able to pay the expenses of the muni-
cipality from the receipts derived
from the oil.

REPEAL OF The

Washington, ID. G., Feb G.--The
repeal OF the .clt fS.f7ption provi-
sion of the Panama Canal law was
before congress today as an admins
tration measure. II is backed by the
President although the repeal of this
section giving free passage to Amer
lean coastwise ships involves practi-
cally the population of one of the
planks of the platform of the Balti-
more convention which nominated
Wilson.
Administration leaders. who are
sure of prompt action, began lining
up their forces in the senate where
the hardest fight is to come.
Some of the democrats are avow-
edly opposing the President and have
announced their intention of fight
ing the proposal. A message to con-
gress, delivered in person by the
President, is expected as soon as the
conferences develop the administra-
tion's course of action.
Repeal of free passage will dis
pose of Great Britain's protest that
1t is a violation of the Hay-Paunce-
forte treaty.
