EMPIRE BUILDER

umpire builder and philanthropist,

urday afternoon.
Dentil was dm* to the fracture of
his spine, by a fall while horesbuck
riding near his home in October,
1906, and although the general dis
mayed wonderful vitality before he
finally succumbed, he was subject
«e frequent relapses which alarmed
his family and friends.
Last year he was strong to
make a trip to Europe, where it was
hoped that change of climate and
imitment by British specialists might
strengthen him and prolong his Ufe.
After a thorough test it was found
that the change was not beneficial
and he returned to Colorado to pass
his few remaining days in the home

and served so well.
During last week he had failed
rapidly, but his previous rallies had
filled Ills family with hope that he
might again regain strength. All
last week, however, his strength had

Mr. Wilson was interested In
knowing how conditions were there
as compared with Colorado in general
anil Palisade in particular. He says
that In his opinion Colorado is far
ahead of it, save ns a pleasant win
ter resort where people of means can
have an easy time,
‘•As a business proposition.” said
Mr. Wilson. “Palisade baa them all
beaten. 1 enquired carefully among
the fruit growers and cannot see how
they are securing anywhere near the
returns which we get here. In the
lirßt. place, their soil is not as good,
and it requires a large amount of
fertilizing. Next, they have some
kind oT a scale on their peach trees
which they seem incapable of getting
rid of. And, most important of all.
they simply don't know how to care
for their trees and get the results
which our "people here get. The or
chards haven't that, wholesome, thrif
ty appearance that ours have.
• As for orange atul lemon grow

.see where they make it pay as com
pared with our peach industry. If
they net from s‘.*o, to S2OO per acre
they think they are doing fine; but.
of course, that don't appeal to a Pali
sade rancher. When ! was there
they were paying $22 per ton for
their hay.

ily for hours. He was able to take
an automobile ride Wednesday but
on his return look to his bed for the
lasi time.
When he fell asleep about noon
Friday no special concern was felt,
but after a time his breathing be
came labored, he seemed to be coma
tose and It was found that he was
unconscious. Dr. W. H. Swan was
hastily called, and soon saw that the
end was near. He remained with the
dying man all niglu and until the end.
Col, D. C. Dodge of Denver, a former
railroad associate and close friend of
the general, was summoned, and,
with Mrs. Dodge, arrived at the Palm
er house Saturday morning.

Gen. Palmer al his death, his three
daughters. Mrs. Elsie Myers, and the
Misses Dorothy and Marjorie Palmer,
Mrs. Myers' husband. Leopold Ham

Myers. Dr. W. F. Slocum, president,

BIG CROWD
WAS THERE
I.*asi night a large audience filled
the Odd Fellows' Hall, every seat be
ing occupied. The occasion was the'
delivering of the lecture, “The Life
After Death.” by Dr. Alexander J.
Mclvor-Tyndall, who has been at
tracting so mitch attention by his
marvelous demonstrations and his in
tensely interesting lectures in this
city during the past two weeks.
The fact that all classes and types
of mentality were represented, shows
to what extent this much discussed i
subject of a future life and inter
communication. is being considered
today.
Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall claims no affil
iation with any society, spiritualistic,
theosophical. or orthodox, but be has
decided views upon the various phas
es of phychic research, and unhesi
tatingly announces his conviction
that the so-called “dead” are as much
alive as are those in the physical
body and that their manner of living'
does not differ greatly, in essential
particulars, from the life in the body.
An incident illustrative of his ex
perience with those “on the other
side of the veil." is the following
startling account:
“I was staying at a hotel in San,
Francisco, some five years ago," said
(the speaker, "when one day as I was 1
| going down in the elevator, my at-'
tention was riveted upon a young :
[man of about 25 years of age. whq -
| stood opposite me.
| “As I gazed at him a voice seemed ,
to breathe these words in my ear: I
jam that boy’s mother. He wants to
commit suicide, save him.' At the;
same moment I saw the ethereal form
of a gray haired woman of about GO .
years of age, standing close to the
young man's side.
“I made inquiries at the hotel of-;
flee about the young man and found :
that ho was a most successful trav-j
cling man. and that he was consid-'
ered by his friends to be a fellow of I
the most cheerful and fortunate tern- j
pera ment.
“I dismissed the incident from my I
: mind, concluding that it was one of ,
[those 'cross vibrations' which the in-I
vestigator frequently meets with, ,
I where the message is correctly ro- i
ceived. but misapplied, that is. the
wrong person is pointed out.
"In a few days, however, the news
papers were filled with the account, of |
the suicide of this young man. in a
town in the southern part of the;
state, and as far as could be learned, i
there was no cause discoverable for
the rash act.”
Several remarkable incidents prov
ing that thoße who have passed from
the earth life, still interested in the
loved ones left behind, were given by
the speaker, many of them having a
much nappler ending than the one
here cited, bill till tending to prove
the possession of a clearer vision
among the so-called “dead" than
> among those still in the body.
I An interesting feature of the meet
; Ing was the answering of personal
questions by psychic Impression. Such
questions ns: “Where is Harry T.-“
Will I take a trip this year, and if
so, where?” "What became of my
gold locket?” "When and whom will
I marry?” "Why do I not hear from
my friend?" and questions of a sim
ilar nature, received minute descrip
tion and reply.
A series of very interesting and
I strange demonstrations were given
last evening by Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall,
all of which aroused much enthus
iasm and completely baffled the large
audience. The doctor will remain in
Hip city all week as the demands for
private readings ami consultations
eontinu»* to be great.

COMING TO
HEAR HIM
Tlie Post feels very much
gratified with the action taken [
by the board of trade to secure
representation at the meeting to
he held in Grand J ll in lion I
.March 20. al which the Hon.
Gifford Pincliot. chief forester
of the Unite<l States, will l»e the
guest of honor.
We are especially pleased because
we have taken the ground that there
was much good, and perhaps a little
error, in the government forestry
policy, but tnat the system was here <
to stay and whatever errors existed
in the rules and policy could be cor- t
reeled only by honest, businesslike i
and sensible cooperation of the peo- 1
pie interested with the department <
and that the wild gyrations of some .
of the pessimistic croakers and the l
abusive criticism of some of the rabid t
newspapers were worse than useless. '
They are positively harmful to the
great farming and livestock Interests <
of this country. _ 1
Lot us have a good delegation, not
only from Glen wood, but from sur- 1
rounding country, to meet Mr. Pin- ;
chot at Grand Junction, and if we !
know of rules and regulations and 1
practices that should be modified,
lei us not hesitate to make ft plain i
to Mr. Pinchot. and the Post firmly i
believes that if there Is reason or i
justice hack of our request the mod
ifications will be made by Mr. Pinchot
if it Is possible for him to make
them. Anyway, don't be afraid to
hear Mr. Pinchot's side of the story. .
for it would seem that we have all «
heard plenty of the other side during t
the past few years.—Glen wood Post. «

TAFT MAY
BE THERE
That flu* efforts to get Presi
dent Taft to visit Montrose at m
tin* time of the opening of the ■
| Gunnison tunnel will succeed, *
[ there Is good reason to believe.
It will certainly Im* a great thing
for Montrose and that section as
it will serve in advertising the
great Gunnison tunnel project
and the lands it will water as
nothing else ever has done or
ever will do.
#
The following dispatch was sent
out from Washington yesterday:
The reclamation service reports
that an advance of 600 feet was made
in the Gunnison tunnel during Feb
ruary. leaving but 2.3 4 0 feet to he
driven between headings March 1.
At the present rate of progress the
project should be completed and wa
ter made available for Uncompahgre
valley lands In July.
If possible the services of Presi
dent Taft, will be secured to officiate
at the formal opening of the project.
The visit of the president to Colo
rado some time during the present,
year is regarded as certain. Former
Senator Patterson, who called upon
the president today, was assured by
him that he would go to Denver to
attend the trans-mississippi congress
in August, unless something now un
for»eeu intervened to prevent.
