GRAND JUNCTION CHAMBER
Refuses to Endorse the Tunnels
Proposition
Lee Burgess, President:

Lee Burgess, President:
Dear Sir:-Your committee ap-
pointed to investigate and report on
the proposition to build three tun-
nels, has met and carefully considered
such information concerning same as
they could secure and beg to report
as follows:
THE petitions to be circulated
carefully consider all issues prior to
presenting the subject to the voters.
2-The language of the petitions is
ambiguous, especially with reference
to the time for construction, there
being wide difference in meaning
between the word "contemporaneous-
ly" used in the proposed bill. and the
word simultaneously" used in all
literature concerning same.
3There is no evidence that the
$4,000, 900 estimated will cover or in
any ways near cover the actual cost.
1.-The railroads of Colorado have
not asked the people for the construc-
ton of these tunnels, nor indicated
their desire to use the same; nor are
they in condition to make a binding
contract with the state for the use
of said tunnels.
For these and other reasons your
committee does not feel that it can
intelligently take a position for or
against the proposition. 1t therefore
recommends that we await deevlop-
ments before taking action.

YOU'LL GET RID OF
 BLACKHEADS SURE

There is simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads and that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of ealonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on hot wet sponge-rub over the blaekheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little blackheads. no matter where they are simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Black heads are simply mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin- Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation. make large pores. and do not get the blackheads out after they become hard. The calonite pow der and the water simply dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition. Anyone troubled with these unsightly blemishes should certainly try this simple method.--Adv.

GERALDINE FARRAR'S
 MARVELLOUS SABLES

Every great singer, actress, artist has a penchant for some particular thing, and Geraldine Farrar, who is the idol of the operatic world and the adored favorite of the movie fans" who will sing here on Wednesday eve ming, October 27, at the opening concert of the "All-Star Concerts at the Jeff ferson, frankly admits that her hobby is "furs."
 This is exceedingly feminine and notwithstanding the gentle tenn perament of the great artist and in cfdentally a passion for furs is quite excnsable in La Geraldine since she can indulge herself in 'the most luxuri- ous of them, because her yearly earn ings run up into the tens of thousands of dollars.
 Particularly wonderful are Geraldine 7 Farrars sables which probably can be matched only by those owned by the imperial and very few prince1y families of Russia, and by a few of the very rich notables of China. These sables came from China shortly after the cam Paign of 1900 and quite possibly were a part of the loot of that famous expedi- thon- At any rate they found their way tp Paris where they were held for 9 huge sum. What Miss Farrar called one of her first extravagancies was the purchase of these furs and this ex travagance made a decided hole in her earnings of one season.
 None the less her canny New England instinct served her right, as it has many times. The furs today are worth At least half as much again as they were when she bought them and in the meantime she has had the intense feminine satisfaction of knowing that she owns some of the finest sables in tho world and can wear them whenever 9 suits her fancy. They consist of hugo coat that falls to her heel great huff and a large neckpiece. The huff alone is worth $2,500
 In addition to these sables Miss Far Tar has quantities of other furs of quality and style which would make many a woman weep from sheer envy,
