Yesterday The Sentinel had a
story about some pansies growing on
the Van Pelt ranch on Hannah creek
unprotected from the wintry winds.
The matter was given as something
of unusual note in this section.
Today, however, we find that
Grand Junction is just as plentifully
supplied with. volunteer winter
growing pansies as any neighboring
section.
This afternoon a lovely bunch of
pansies were sent to the editor of The
Sentinel by Mrs. John ]. Huey, resid-
ing at 541 Teller avenue. accompan-
led by the following note which is
self-explantory:
II have had pansies blooming all
winter, unprotected as the neighbors
can testify and we thought nothing
about it until we saw the item in re-
gard to Mr.. Van Pelt's freak pansies
so decided We did not care to have

LOCAL PROJECT IS
NOW ONE sixth
COMPLETED

The Grand Valley project was one
sixth completed according 10 the re-
port made to the reclamation service
at the close of the year 1913. The re-
port showed I6.S of the work done and
says:
The weather was unfavorable for
construction. a number of stormy days
being followed by extreme cold. At
Tunnel No. ! the work of cOncreting
was delayed as a result. The moist
sand and gravel screened slowly and
later ehoked the feed chutes due to
freezing. The SHOWS in the mountains
delayed the arrival of cement and an
other cause of delay was the failure
of the electric locomotive. One thous-
and one hundred and six cubic yards
of concrete were placed in Tunnel No.
/, completing the floor lining. Pre-
liminary work was done on the side
wall and arch work. At the upper
portal of this tunnel $50 cubic yards
of material have been removed, 126
cubic yards of concrete and IS cubic
yards of paving have been placed.
Twenty-Five cubic yards of concrete
were placed in the footings in the
main channel for the pile bents of the
Jerry creek bridge. In Tunnel No. 2
heading No. was driven 1913 feet and
the bench 222 feet This tunnel was
holed through on the 27th and exca-
vation completed on the 31st, except
for the removal of an incline at the
lower portal. At tunnel No. 3 an ad-
vance equivalent to 143 feet in the
whole section was made at the several
headings. The contractor on earth
work on the main canal made poor
progress owing to the bad weather.
The work on schedules 2, and was
closed for the season after 81 1000 cubic
yards had been excavated with an av-
erage force of 10 men and 120 horses.
At the diversion dam 1880 cubic yards
have been excavated from the sluice
way. completing the dry excavation
and all but 800 cubic yards of the
wet: the sump was carried down >
feet; the temporary screening and the
mixing plant was completed; about
1000 feet of road were opened, and the
work continued on pit excavation and
other items preparatory To erecting
towers. Materials were delivered for
building a temporary pile bridge
across the river near the dam.

SIX REELS OF BIG
FILMS At MAJESTIC

Six reals of feature pictures which
rival in strength and interest the
famous players series will be shown
at the Majestic Sunday and Monday.
The usual price of ten and twenty
cents for the big features has been
arranged.
Nero and Brittanicus," hand
colored picture showing an interest
ing chapter from Roman history, is
the chief feature. The picture is a
glorious success in every way be-
cause 1t combines an accurate his
torical production with magnificent
stage craft, acting and photography.
Nero has always been a cropping
figure in historical drama and in the
movies he is not less interesting.
The second feature is two-reel
story from the Electric company and
is called THE Wheel of Destruction. y
1t is remarkable in that the picture
which forms the basis of the film was
taken from actual life and portrays
a thrilling automobile accident. Most
auto accidents on the screen are
framed up" but this is realistic and
tragic. The whole picture is tre-
mendously thrilling.
Mike and Jake have charge of the
final reel in the program and this
time find themselves in the wild
west. They disport themselves, as
usual, to the intense amusement of
the audience.
