The Proposed Rest Room.

A rest room is one of the features
that will be considered by the new
commercial and social organization
to be formed in this city next week.
The following special to the Denver
News from Grand Junction under date
of January II tells of the great sue
cess of the rest room in that city
and we have every reason to believe
that it would be equally successful
here.
With a record Of 4,260 visitors in
the first three months of it existence
Mesa county's new free rest room for
country folks has been a decided sue
cess. Mrs. David Hapkins, matron in
charge, says it is declared by many of
her regular patrons to be one of the
greatest advancements made in Mesa
county in years.
Ranchmen are checking all sorts Of
bundles at the rest room. They
leave bricks to warm for their bug
gies and keep their feet warm. They
put pots of coffee and tea on the
stove to warm while they are out
shopping, and they make use Of the
many other advantages of the place,
including the library and reading
table.

gan adopted by citizens of Edgemont

mont is available By street car only
once an hour and the I O'Clock inter.
urban a is the earliest reaching the
city. while the 10 O'Clock car at night
is the last car which reaches this SUB.

What the citizens are asking in their
petition is that a city car make the
trip around the outer loop, which
would take in the Peacock Farm sec.
tion as well as Bell Run and Edge
mont, giving these sections half hour
service. making earlier and later trips
than the internrban cars.
The petitioners say this would great.
~ accommodate working men who
wish TO reach their places OF business

accommodate persons wishing to catch
the early morning trains, which at the
present schedule OF cars necessitates
much hurry and occasional disappoint.

grain trade south of the international
line. The surplus grown up there is
a big one, the quality Of the grain is
excellent and the export takings are
snail, although prices are considera-
bly, below those now being paid in
tho United States. Foreigners bought
GOO, 900 bushels at the seahoard today.
hut this grain was raised in Canada,
while there was no demand for wheat
raised in the United States. At the
moment cash winter wheat Is scarce
and until the movement oveFbalances
the demand the situation will continue
abnormal. Only 10000 bushels OF
cash wheat we're sold here today, all
for domestic use, with export bids far
out Of line.
Wheat al Chicago was unchanged to
