to the Little Rook cliffs. The trip |
was made over the Rook (Miff rail
road. Some time ago W. S. Phillips. ’
manager of the railroad, extended an .

took charge of fifteen burros that J
were running loose on the streets and j
over the lawns of the city last night. '
The lnirros almost ruined two or ;
three lawns in the northern part of
town during the night, and the own
ers of the lawns were justifiably en
raged this morning when they found
their yards in a deplorable condition,
and at once had the marshnl take the
animals into custody. It is hard to
tell which causes the most trouble
the burros or the hoboes.
The funeral of William J. Arm

; years of age. He had been a resident
of Colorado 20 years, and had re
sided in the valley 4 years. He was
' united in marriage with Mrs. Duke
Wellington three years ago. His
■ wife ami two sisters survive him.
! There was a very pleasant social
gathering last evening in the parlors
of the Congregational church. The
j Senior Endeavor Society of the
church gave the entertainment.
: Friends of the society were Invited
to attend. No admission fee was
charged, Owing to the fait that
there were severuL other entertain
ments In the city, the attendance
: was not very large. Perhaps thirty
Indies and gentlemen were present,
and all spent a merry evening.
, Games were enjoyed. There were
several charming musical selections.
Light refreshments. consisting of
ices and cakes were served.
Mrs. Ely Ewing, aged about GO
years, died yesterday at her home in
Palisade, after a long illness. Under
taker Bannister went to Palisade yes
terday afternoon to prepare the re
mains for shipment and sent a cas
ket up on No. I last night. The body
will be shipped tonight on No. G to,
Guthrie Center, la., the old home of j
the deceased. Mrs. Ewing has suf
fered from St. Vitus dance for sev
eral years, and her sufferings for the
past six months have been frightful.
Two sons survive the deceased, both
residing at Palisade. Mrs. Ewing |
I hud been a resident of Palisade for,
] some time and was well known and i
j highly respected.
Fourteen hoboes were run In last j
j night by the city officials. The ma
jority of these wanderers were found
!in the sand house. They were given
lodging In Hie city jail for the night |
and were placed to work on the rock
pile this morning. A young boy who
was found with the hoboes was also
taken into custody, but later was re
leased with a warning. Grand June-1
tlon is rapidly growing in ill repute
with the hoboes. The fact that Grand
Junction lias a rock pile is spreading'
far and wide among the members of I
the ‘■won't work" fraternity. A rail- *
road man of this city stated that a i
hobo told liini at Minturn that he,
gave Grand Junction a wide berth. I
as lie heard at Colorado Springs that ■
ibis city had a rock pile. May the
good news travel far and wide and )
may the berth the hoboes give Grand i
Junction grow even wider.
Guthrie Center (la.) Times:
Frank A. Lyons expects to leave next
week for Colorado, H® will make
liis future home at Grand Junction.!
where he will become the active mem- ;
her of J. A. Lyons Ai Son. general
merchants. It is with sincere regret
we make this announcement. Frank
lias lived here all his life, and since
coming of age has been identified
with the business interests of our
1 town, first as Junior member of J. A.
Lyons & Sons, and for several years'
past in business for himself. He will j
: lie missed in business circles, and
and the departure of himself and
family will he much regretted in the
social and church life of our little
city. Guthrie Center can Illy afford
to lose many such families. But the
very best wishes of everybody will
go with them to their new home.
However, what will be our loss will
lie the gain of Grand Junction. The
Times wishes Mr. and Mrs. Lyons
abundant success, and. should they
1 ever decide to return to Guthrie Cen
ter. we can assure them a most hearty
and cordial welcome.

CHAS. A. SMITH, M'F’C. AGENT, I 30 S. FOURTH ST
Barrel of Gold
Under Deßeque
How many people would take
pick and shovel in their hands,
even though unused to the work, .
and make an excavation which |
would require hard and strenuous j
labor, if they knew that u barrel
flll«*<l with gold lay in the earth,
which only needed uncovering that '
it might be used?
Just such a barrel of gold lies un
derneath all the country surrounding!
Deßeque. in the immense oil fields
that are bound to be developed there. I
It is not the ordinary oil of everyday
use that has been brought to the sur
face at Deßeque: it is an oil that
carries a larger body of paraffine than
any other discovered oil in the world.
This is a startling statement coin
merciallv. Just pin this *.o your
memory: THE OH. OP DEBEQUE
KIN'S :’.4 PER CENT IN PAKAK
PINE. AND NO OTHER OIL DIS
TRICT ON EARTH HAS SUCH VAL
UABLE OIL. This sweeping state
ment is made by Isaac Canfield,
whose capacity for rendering judg
ment comes from a life-time of ex
perience in the oil business. Mr.
Canfield started in the oil business
contemporaneously with the discov
ery of oil in Pennsylvania. That was
in 18G0. He was a resident of Ti
tusrllle. He lias followed the busi
ness ever since, opening up some of
the most extensive oil fields in this
country. He talks of oil and the na
ture of the country where it may
be expected that it will be found, by
the curd. Certainly his experience
and his knowledge should be worth a I
great deal in the development of the
Deßeque fields.
He opened the oil field at Plorence
in this state; has worked in the great
fields in West Virginia. Ohio. Kan
sas. Texas and is now consulting en
gineer with some most extensive work
going on in Michigan and Canada.
He should be in Michigan right now.
Lilt his faith in the wonderful qual
ity of the Deßeque product is so
great that he hesitates to even leave
it for a week.
He told a reporter for The Senti
nel this morning that Boulder is sell
ing its small output, that contains
only POUR PER CENT OP PARAF
FINE, TO WHAT IS PRACTiC kLLY
THE STANDARD Oil. COMPANY IN
THIS STATE POR $2 PEIt BARREL
AND IS SHIPPING 8 \ME TO, FLOR
ENCE WHEN IT ONLY PAYS SO
CENTS PER, BARREL POR THE
OIL OP THE PLORENCE FIELDS.
If tlie company pays $2 per barrel
for the Boulder product, with only
I per cent of paraffine base, what
ought it to pay for the oil at De-
Beque. witii a paraffine base of ;’»4
per cent?
Really, we have been sleeping on
our opportunities here. It may be
of interest to some to know just what
makes the paraffine so valuable.
Well, in a nutshell it is this: Prom !
the paraffine is made candles, chew
ing gum. axle grease, vaseline, cos
mollne (a base for all kinds of
paints) and ten or twelve other valu
able products. After the paraffine
base is extracted, then tnere remains
still the pure water white oil -none
better in the world.
The Standard people are keeping a
(lose eye on the Deßeque field. They
have tested the quality and have gone
so far as to acknowledge its high per
centage of paraffine, which even
startled them when the test was
made.
Isaac Canfield says further that,
with the immense gas pressure back
of the wells now being drilled at De-
Beque. he is as certain as anything
can be that is hidden in the earth,
but from what knowledge is already
extant about oil and oil fields, that
a well of considerable capacity, run
ning many times more than ten, or
even twenty barrels, a day, will be
drilled at Deßeque.
The work now in progress there
should never be let to lapse for a
minute. The work there means as
much or more for this city than any
undertaking ever begun for the peo
ple of the Grand valley. The Can
field syndicate, and especially the
Woods syndicate, are putting forth
every energy to push the work. Their
faith is growing with the days, and
something that will surprise the en
tire country, so far as oil production
is concerned, is destined for us.
The water that gave so much trou
ble is now controlled, and from the
experience of handling it in the last
two weeks, will not bother any more.
Tin your faith to the Deßeque
Helds of oil.
