TOLD TO THE PRINTERS

I want to tell you again how we ap-
preciate your loyal little paper. At a
time when the policy of both the public
and the press is to criticize everything
that is done and is not done by the ad-
ministration it is extremely difficult to
find an editor with courage enough to
express the sentiments of the minority.
Chicago is particularly unfortunate in
that it has only one paper that has not
switched its policies with the wind.
The Chicago Journal has continued it's
policies for seventy five years, but the
circulation of the Journal is not large
enough to overcome the influence of the
Tribune and the Hearst publications.

NURSE RELATES
IN
THE GREAT WAR
Miss Adah Graham Tells OF
Her Work AT The Con-
gregational Church
SERVED AS NURSE
FOR THREE NATIONS
Stated English Were Much
Attached To The Ameri-
can Hospitals

Miss Adah Graham, attred in the
uniform Of an army nurse, gave
most interesting description of her
experiences in the great world war,
at the Congregational church, Sunday
evening at o'clock
The church was crowded to it's ca
pacity with friends of Miss Graham,
and many were unable to gain admit.
tance.
Miss Graham had the distinguished
experience of nursing in the hospitals
of three different nations-England,
France and the United States.
Miss Graham told of leaving Chi.
cago over four years ago with a unit
to take up nursing in hospital in
England, under the supervision of the
English army. The speaker gave an
interesting account of the difference
between the course of nursing in the
hospitals of the English and the
Americans. She stated that the Eng
lish soldiers were very much attach.
cd to an American hospital, and call.
ed it the Gee Whiz" hospital, and
hospitals to the English. She stated
that they preferred the American
sufferings without .inching and with
out complaining. She said that the
French soldiers would scream when
brought into the hospital, but as soon
as they were operated upon by sur
geons they would laugh.
Miss Graham stated that most of
her unit returned to America at the
conclusion of their terms Of service,
but she desired more experience in
the work and accordingly joined the
nurses corps under the French army
and was assigned to hospitals in diff
ferent parts of France.
She gave very vivid description
of air raids by Germans during the
war and how they bombed the hos
pitals. She stated that at first air
raids caused great confusion in the
hospital, but later she became accus-
toned to the raids and frequently
slept through them. She also told Of
the havoc wrought by big Bertha"
Later in the war, Miss Graham
stated, she was assigned to the Amer
ican army and concluded her work in
the American hospitals, nursing the
American soldiers. She said that so
many American soldiers had poor
impression of France. This was due
to the fact that most of them were
assigned to the rural districts and
among the poorer classes and did not
meet better people of France. She
said it was rather amusing to hear
representatives of the different ma
tions talk, each claiming that their
particular nation had won the war.
Miss Graham gave several amusing
incidents and recited number Of her
personal experiences. She told of one
particular case in which she was
interested, where the patient decided
that he must have pancakes for
breakfast, as otherwise he feared he
would die. Miss Graham told how
she cheerfully made the pancakes
and served them to the patient. al.
though they we're not the best thing
in the world for man suffering from
a fractured leg.
Miss Graham's address was exceed
ingly interesting was greatly enjoyed

FRANCEPLANS ON MUCH NEW
 PUBLIC WORK

PARIS, June (by Associated Press) ).-"France will spend about 4,000,000,000 francs on new public work, besides about 3,000,O00,000 francs for the rebuilding of railroads in the devastated regions" the Asso- ciated Press was told today by M Claveille. minister of public works.
 Our program" said the minister, "calls for the identification of 5,2O0 miles of railroad, the building of $500 of local railroad lines and tramways, the rebuilding of 5000 miles of na- tional roads and about 60,0O0 miles of other highways that were ruined by the intensive army traffic or destroyed by mines and shell fire. We have also," he added, "more than 1000 bridges to rebuild, 12 tunnels that must pc practically rebered and a great many culverts to be replaced. I estimate the amount of material re- quired for this work at ten million tons"
 MT. Claveille explained that, al

though an army of roadworkers, reaching 78,000 men in 1918, had con- sfantly been employed repairing road ways in the army zone, they were worn almost as fast as they were re- stored.
 The Germans tore up or blew up 2O00 miles of track on the Northern railroad system and about 1,200 miles ot the lines of the Eastern Railroad, along with 2,0OO miles of telegraph and telephone wires," he said These lines have already been restored in part.
 What remains to be done consti- tutes formidable task. Lack of labor is all that is delaying work on these enterprises. Much of the required ,naterial was assembled during the last eighteen months of the war"

MRS. PHILLIPS BROTHER
 DIES IN BALTIMORE

Mrs. Clifford H. Phillips, who is on her first visit to her old home in Phil adelphia for thirteen years, where she will spend the summer, returning to Cordova in the fall, was summoned to Denton, Maryland, on account of the death of her brother, the particu- lars of which are given in the fol lowing clipping from the Baltimore Sun of May 20:
 Thomas c. West, cashier of Denton National Bank, died last night, aged 81 years. Under the management of MT. West the Denton bank attained a prominent place among the State in- stitutions. He became connected with it as teller in 1881 and was made cashier in 1888, since which time, until a few months ago, he has devoted his best efforts to it's affairs.
 MT. West was the son of Simon West, of Caroline county, and was born near Marydel in 1888. In early life he taught school in Anne Arundel and in Caroline counties, serving as principal of Denton Academy during the eight years immediately prior to entering upon his banking employ ment. He married Miss Annie Poppin, daughter of James Poppin. His only child, boy, died in childhood and Mrs. West less than two years ago. MT. Vests surviving relatives are Prof. Charles H. West, of Lincoln, Ill.,; George West, Atlantic City; Mrs. Mary Thawley, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Fannie Phillips, Cordova, Alaska, his brothers and sisters.

TOWN TEAM ON TOP
HIGH SCHOOL LOSES OUT
ON ARMISTICE DAY

The heavy and strong town team,
with fast start, clearly outplayed
the students. 1t was but few min
utes after the initial kickoff when
Half-back SwartZ went around left
end for an easy touchdown. Paul
Wright kicked goal and the see-saw-
ing that took place after that gave
the credit mostly to the Has-beens.
The High School was without the
service of Hall in the back-field, and
that weakened the team considerably,
altho they do not offer this as an alibi.
In the line, Curtis and Foster were
missing, and this broke up the fine
machine work that was displayed in
the Grand Junction game.
The town boys great back-field
plunged thru the school line and
around the ends for gain after gain.
Even simple forward passes were ex-
ecuted for short but consistent gains.
The book worms staged strong come
back in the last quarter but it was
too late. as time was called after they
had successfully completed three
passes for 35 yards.
Paul Wright returned punts in
grand style, and he was easily the
star of the game. Exter showed the
same flash Of speed and nerve /. that
classes him among the best. As for
plunges, Sievers never failed to make
his length and occasionally some yards

TUNGSTEN ORE NOT TO

Mountain States Mineral Age
Disquletlng rumors regarding op-
position TO thetungsten tariff bill in
the Senate have NJ last given away
70 definite announcement by Senator
Penrose, chairman of the finance COM
nittee, that he Is opposed to all
emergency tariff Legislation, believ-
ing that all such Legislation should 20
over until the general tariff bill is
enacted.
This means that eastern manufac-
turers OF tungsten products, brokers,
and importers, together with owners
OF tungsten properties in foreign coun-
tries, have brought influence to bear
on the Senate which promises TO de-

NOTES

Coach krause predicts a bright
future for Pat Grafton, who is the
best lightweight lineman in the state
On offense and defense, he does ag-
gressive and effective work through
out the game.
The Wright brothers are noted for
their ground gaining ability and head
work, but X. Wright has also become
very proficient at punting under ad'
verse circumstances.
Bennett and Kroll on defense were
largely responsible for holding Grand
junction safe throughout the game.
Ellington's passing was excellent
and his defensive work was highly
commented by the opponents. On
four occasions he spilled the quarter
before the play ever got started.
Mother Earth has a grudge against
Curtis and Foster, judging by the ap-
pearance of their noses. The trouble
Half Back Hall has been enduring
with his knee retarded his speed on
offensive.
Coach DuCray has a large squad of
players, and they show the benefits
Of his knowledge of all departments
of the game.
Supt. Orson Ryan of Price, Utah,
was an interested rooter for our team.
The timekeepers had heated dis
cussions regarding the outcome dur
ing the teachers meetings, so both
decided to keep close tab on their re-
spective teams while the game was in
progress. The squad appreciated the
undaunted spirit of the faculty.

ANOTHER BOOST FOR BROAD
GAUGE TO WESTERN SLOPE

The broad gauging of the Denver E.
Rio Grande railroad from Salida to
Montrose was given another boost
recently when former Governor f.
NJ. Ammons of Denver. wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the State Railway
Commission:
There is no question but that Dem
yer and Colorado can accomplish the
broadgauging of the narrow gage
line from Salida to Montrose and the
tunneling Of Marshall Pass. This
would bring the fruits and other pro-
ducts of the Uncompahgre and North
Fork valleys directly to Pueblo and
much more than compensate for any
thru business that might be lost to
the southern metropolis thru the build
ing of the Dotsero cutoff.
"The broad sgauging Of the lines
south Of Montrose would open up
tremendous rich country and greatly
increase production, both mineral and
agricultural.
"At preset there is no outlet at all
to the south-west--there is no more
naturally rich country in America
than the San Juan valley,
Complete surveys have shown that
by building broadgauge line from
the south fork of the Rio Grande
river, west of the San Luis valley
thru or near Wolf Creek paste the
San Juan river by way of Durango
and Pennington, thru northwestern
New Mexico to Gallup, most feasible
route, with easy grades. can be Sc
cured"
