Down Palisade way it is planned to
grow 25 acres of tomatoes this year
for sale to the Grand Junction can
ming factory. Fifteen acres have al
ready been pledged. 1t has been only
during the last couple of years that
the land owners in that district con-
sidered growing any crop but peaches,
one reason being that it was considered
decidedly impracticable to devote land
which sold anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000 an acre to such plebian crop as
vegetables, but possibly the aforesaid
j. o's find consolation in the belief
that tomatoes are fruit and therefore
not even remotely related to onions,
ct cetera.-Rifle Telegram.
The statement of John F. Vivian,
that none of the Carey act projects
have been cancelled, will be received
with disappointment in this section Of
the state. We have NO fight on any
bona fide irrigation project, but when
scheme has hung fire five or six
years and not shovel of dirt moved
it seems all right to call it off and lei
someone else have chance. Accord
ing to Mr.. Vivian even the Routt
County Development project has not
been cancelled as yet, but it has been
recommended to the governor to re-
quest its cancellation and that will
probably not be before three months

A report from little lunnon that a
54-mile breeze swept down between
that city and Pueblo, Sunday, is de-
MED with fine scorn by Senator Elliot,
editor of the Colorado Springs Tele-
graph, who says the wind came from
Pueblo on that day and it happened
I in Pueblo on that day because Alva
Swain, one Of the proprietors Of the
Chieftain, ran over from Denver to
spend Sunday and blow OF. Senator
Elliot rather has it on the Pueblo peo.
pie for the wind which ,rustled through
the Fountain valley sdown from the
Springs blew some freight cars Of the
track at Pueblo-or was it at tbe
Springsf-Boulder Camera.
Under tho primary law which the
people of Colorado have chosen TO elect
their representatives to Office, it cost
from $500 for a candidate to run for
county Office to $1,000 to make . run
for state office. Besides keeping the
people in constant turmoil, it has the
effect of debarring many . capable cit
izen from even aspiring to run for
office. Besides the officeholder has
tendency to work to make himself
good in financial way for the money
he has expended to get the office. If
the law has any merit outside Of theo-
ry, we fail to see it, and the voters of
the state are fast coming to reliza-
tion that the law should be repealed in
its entirety.-Brush Republican.
