PIONEER Of !
VALLEY WAS
|LL z YEARS
Popular Citizen Called to His
Reward; Surrounded by
Sons and Daughters

XVJILLIAM James Ponsford, pro-
M prietor of the Melrose rooming
w house and 80 years one of best
known residents of the Grand Valley.
passed away this morning at 5 80
o'clock at his home at 337 Colorado
avenue, after a lingering illness COZ
ering a period OF over two years.
Mr.. Ponsford. whose figure has
been familiar on the streets of this
city for years, was one of the pion-
GERS of the western slope coming
overland here with his wife, then a
bride of two years, in 1884 and has
ever since staked his faith on the
prospects and future of this land.
He was 5S years old and was born
in London, England, in 1S4S where
he grew to manhood When 19 years
old the wanderlust seized him and
he came 10 this country, settling in
Sabetha, Kansas, where he resided
for six or seven years. He took up
the occupation of farming and be-
came well Off
In 1881 he returned to England
where he married Miss Charlotte
Porter. After living there for some
time. he with his bride, started back
to the land of promise and finally
arrived on the western slope in Mesa
county, then wilderness and a bar
rem desert. They first resided on the
George Stapleton ranch on Hannah
Creek and afterwords moved to their
own land Mr.. Ponsford then en-
gagged in the cattle business and add
ed to his fortune. Six years ago fail
ing health caused him together with
his family to move TO this city where
they A-'ea = ths Meir,aA roaming house
and have resided ever since.
Two years ago he was attacked by
the disease which gradually sapped
his strength and finally bore him
down to the grave. Throughout all
his long sickness most of the time he
has been bedfast and he has never
uttered a word of complaint and bore
the suffering without a murmur.
Mr.. Ponsford was one of the most
active members of the Christian
church in this city. being a member
OF the official board and at all times
being intensely interested in all
lines of church activities.
He is survived by family OF four
children and his wife, who were with
him at the last. ''"
lHItt SOub, htol Be, Jdihco "hN
John, and one daughter, Mary. also
of this city survive him. Besides
these and his wife, he leaves two
brothers and one sister. all in Eng
land, and one sister, Mrs Louis
Harms. of 337 Grand avenue, of this
city.
Four years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Pons-
ford took a last trip to England and
H.. h II
Washington and Oregon in the hopes
that his health would be bettered.
When he found that 1t was of no
avail he returned to this city.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
at o'clock in the Christian church
with the Rev. j, F. Creason officiat-
ing. Burial will be in Orchard Mesa
cemetery.

THERE will be no county fair in
this city this fall This state
4 ment has been made authorita-
lively by members of the board of
directors of the fair association dur
ing the past few days and marks the
first autumn in many years when
the annual exhibit and celebration
has not been held in this city.
The fair grounds property is now
going through foreclosure and the
directors, all of whom have spent
a considerable sum personally in an
effort to hold up the fair have de-
cided to take no further chances with
the weather which has, year after
year, so cut down attendance that
the efforts at financial recuperation
have signally failed.
The racing dates which this city
has usually secured have been taken
by another fair association. and II
would be difficult at this time to get
in on the circuit. No plans have
been made to prepare an exhibit and
1t has been decided not TO employ a
secretary.
Efforts are being made to pro-
vide some sort of a celebration here
this fall so that the month of Sep
tember will not go by without some
sort of observanye OF the harvest
festival. but no announcements can
be made as yet.

[ -lBy Harold V. Aupperle. /


- The Plateau valley claims the
youngest farmer in the world. He is
only / s years old, but is in complete
charge of fine 120-acre ranch. 4
miles south of here. His name is
Francis Chapman, and he is an i'm
ported article, hailing from Grand
Junction. He is the son of Mrs.
Laura Chapman, an old-time resident
of Grand Junction.
He has been in charge OF the l20-
acre ranch presented him by his
mother for more than year and
there is not better kept ranch in
the entire valley. His only hired
man is his 17-year-old brother, Will
lam. also of Grand Junction. Last
year Mr., Chapman took in more
than $500 from his ranch and this
year he will clear easily more than
$1,000.
Mr.. Chapman has the advantage of
a years schooling at Fort Collins,
where he took the short course. He
hopes to take more work there. but
II this is impossible will study at
home.
The greater part of his ranch is in
hay, but he is conducting much ex-
perimental work to determine what
varieties OF grains and grasses will
grow best on his place. He has two
acres planted in the interests of this
experiment. The bulk of his income
this year will be from pigs and cattle.
He has been fattening hogs during
the summer in small alfalfa pas
ture, but this winter intends to feed
more than fifty porkers upon grain
which he is raising himself. He will

them for the creamery this winter.
His work is revelation Although
he is but mere youth he is making
record as a farmer which Is being
watched with interest by every one
in the Plateau country. His alfalfa
stands 8 " feet high, and is SO thick
that 1t is almost impossible to walk
through 1t. His potatoes are large
and healthy and his four work horses
are as fine looking as can be found.
His premises are free from trash and
rubbish.
During the summer his brother
does the cooking and can make as
good biscuits and Pie as any house
wife in this region. In the winter

boys sleep outdoors winter and sum

As soon as Billy has finished
high school he wants to secure farm
of his own. Both boys are 6 feet tall
and weigh about 1856 pounds. They
are level-headed. industrious, clean
living youths. and within ten years
will be independent If they keep on
raising stock and selling cream to the
dairy. The welcome sign Is hanging
on the door of their four-room house
at all hours and for everybody.
They are remarkable boys. Their
remarkable record is due in a large
measure to the remarkable fertility
and natural wealth of the Plateau
