TN the pure food progress in this
country a valuable part. even
i brilliant part, has been played
by what has become known as
the Westfield Movement. In the
year 1901. Prof. Lewis r. Allyn,
working in that little Massachusetts,
town. began To analyZe foods for GER
tain grocers. and to tell them
whether these foods were what they
purportcd 10 be. The grocers found
il very much to their interest to
have brands of food which had OBJ

When the fight for the national
pure food law was on it was neces-
sary TO pound the less intelligent
food manufacturers before We could
secure that law. The Westield idea
suddenly opened up a vista OF prog

the good. instead OF putting en-

FIRST DIRT FLIES ON HIGH LINE
FISK WILL NOT
Be CANDIDATE
Popular Engineer May Leave the
City; Has Served Six Terms
as Surveyor.

James II. Fisk. for the past six
years county surveyor, will not be a
candidate for reelection this fall and
in fact, may leave the city shortly to
accept one of several excellent Of
iers he has recently received from
other sections of the country.
Mr.. Fisk is an old-style Republi-
can and while endorsed by the Bull
Moose convention two years ago has
made no bones about his standpat
tendencies.
Just who viii be named by either
the Bun Moose or the Republican
party for surveyor is hard to deter
mine. Mr. Fisk's partner. James II.
Bertholf, is now general road sur
pervisor and probably will not he u
candidate of any one party as he de-
c'ares that he has no partisan poll
tics in his makeup.
Mr.. Fisks own plans are not yet
definite. He has just completed sup
ervision of the road work on the
Rainbow route near the Walt Farm
er place and reports that road in ex-
cellent condition.

JOHN 7. BROWN WILL run
ON INDEPENDENT TICKET
Assessor Refuses to Affiliate with Either Party But Will Run as

by Nomination.

John T. BROWN, for the past four
years county assessor, today an
J nouncel his candidacy for re-
election on an Independent platform.
The fact that Mr. Brown has in
the past affiliated with the Republi-
can party ana was endorsed by the
Progressive party two years ago led
many of his friends to anticipate that
he would ally himself with one or
the other parties. but in a clear-cut
statement issued today in connection
with his announcement, Mr.. Brown
takes the ground that the assessor
ship is an office too important to the
well-being of the county to be admin
istered from a partisan standpoint,
and that he would seek reelection on
his record without affiliation with
any of the political parties in the
primaries.
In his statement today. Mr.. Brown
said:
realize that in coming out upon
an Independent platform am break
ing away from the precedents set by
political aspirants for many years,
and recognize the right and just
ness of organization in political af-
fairs. feel. however. that merit

BOOSTED BANDSMAN
BORNE TO BAST|LE.
Peckham Proves Prune;; Publici-
~ Painfully PTofuse But
Puffer is Pinched.

Not even the prestige that goes
with a former membership in the
United States maroon band stayed
the hand of the law as it dropped on
o. w. Peckham, who was taken into
limbo yesterday on charges of petit
larceny.
1t is probably one of the eccentric
tiles of genius that the renowned in
Innate of Sousa, Creutore and Pryor
should be guilty of purloining
watch and diamond ring in the clas-
sic city of Salida. At any rate that
is the charge lodged against his Peck
hamship and an officer arrived today
to take him home.
Unwilling to admit that real musi-
clans reside in Grand Junction, Mr..
Peckham's publicity organ announced
that at last a bandmaster of inter-
national renown was among us. 1t
is painfully pertinent to say that Mr..
PeclIham has had to cancel his en-
gagement in Grand Junction and will
go to Salida to consider a proposition
to head an institutional musical or
sanitation in Tynan's suburb of
Canon City.
