Doing Things at Washington A Tuesday special from Washing ton, to the Grand Junction Sentinel says: Colorado had a field day in the bouse yesterday and Congressman Ed Taylor of that state almost set a new record for the paaaage of legisla tion for his constituents. One more bill—and he almost passed that one— would have set a new high mark in the enactment of measures. From the standpoint of Coloradoans the most interesting measure Taylor passd was the Rocky mountain park bill which establishes a new national playground with a large appropria tion right at the gates of Denveri : Estes park has long been known for its magnificent scenery and the gov ernment has now attached It, a real Mecca for tourists. More important from a national standpoint was a measure Introduced by him and Congressman Ferguson of Arizona which will permit the entry of 640-acre grazing homesteads. This law, which it will be when it Is pep functorily passed by the senate aod signed by the president, will open op for settlement many millions of acres of rough land throughout the western states which would not be settled under any present law for genera tions, if ever. An appropriation bill giving an ad ditional $75,000 to the proposed federal building in Grand Junction, was enacted early in the day aud the afternoon a mining experiment station bill with appropriations was brought up by Taylor, but was laid over for two weeks. It is apparent that this measure will be enacted. Representative Taylor is pretty well satisfied with yesterday’s work, but this morning he started in with a renewed effort to have the reclama tion allotment of $702,000 for the Grand valley project pat through without change or reduction. Profiting By Colorado's Mistake Very recently the Telegram re marked that as a result of the reform agitation in Colorado, Salt Lake City would profit at the expense of Denver, and already was enjoying prosperity of a most pronounoM character. Here is confirmation $K iharstatemvHt, several of WtsaUßP papers having given publicity to the same during the week. Writing to a friend in Denver, W. W. McLellan, the man who presented to Denver the handsome Eighteenth street en trance to the City park, says: “You will remember that on a re oent visit to Utah I wrote you that I was satisfied the people out there were contributing money and energy to bring about the enactment of pro hibition in Colorado in order that they might profit by this legislation. 1 am more firmly convinced now than ever of the soundness of my theory. The people of Utah are decidedly en terprising and can be relied upon not to overlook a commercial opportunity. “As a people we seem to have gone tnad on the subject of reform. I won der if we will ever learn that laws do not change men’s desires or appetites. I am today, as I have been all my life, an abstainer and a believer in temperauce, but not in prohibition. “From talking with doctors and officers of the law I aid led to believe that, falling to obtain stimulating liquors, men and women who crave them are inclined to resort to much more harmful stimulants in the shape of habit-forming drugs. “Experience has proved this theory.”—Rifle Telegram. ■■ ■■ w '•— Among the Park folks attending to business matters, in town, this week, were G. W. Graham, George Howey. Olaf Holton and Tom Ruckman. Mr. L. 8. Bloomfield and Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Lunney of Oakride park, visited town Tuesday. H. A. and Walter Warner of Rose dale, were town visitors during the week. Willie Warren of Rosedale, ming led with town friends, Tuesday. Never walk behind a mule until you have made friends with him. Then put your trust in God and go a long way ’round. When a fellow proposes to a girl at a card party, she should be careful that she does not get the “booby” prize. The woman who can get money from her husband without telling him what she wants it for, is a great gen eral. The merchant who advertises in his home paper is a friend both to himself and his town.

But It Gets There A Brush junk dealer, hearing that Ford, the auto manufacturer, used tin cans in the construction of his ■cars, gathered op several hundred tomato, saner kraut and oyster cans and sent them to the Ford factory a long with the request that they be made into an anto. A week or two ago he received a Ford by freight and a check for $0 80 by mall. He had sent too many cans.—Yuma Pioneer. They all poke fun at the Ford, but it gets there. Just the same.
