The water courses and waten sheds of western Colorado converge from the north, south and east to the valley near the central western line of the state. This valley is all but semi-tropical in climate, and, although but ten years since the first planting, it is now the most noted fruit section of the en- tire country. From this low valley on the Grand river, as from the hinges of a fan, lead out and up radiating natural highways of commerce. A railroad seeking to cross the state from east to west, within a scope of 300 miles from north to south, must of necessity drop into one of these converging water courses and pass through the common central point ere it passes on to the Pa- cific coast. Within this semi-circle lies the wealth of Colorado. Here are hundreds of camps, where tens of thousands live from gold and silver mining. Here are coal fields Which surpass all the carboniferous deposits of America; marble that equals in fineness that of famed Carrara; iron enough to fexd the furnaces of the world, and a few hun- dred thousand acres of as fertile land as can be found in the most productive parts of the Mississippi valley. Near the center of this valley, and at the confluence of the Grand and the Gunnison, lies the beautiful city of Grand Junction. When nature deposited within this 300-mile limit all those elements which go to make a country great and its people rich she seems to have so fashioned the topography of the mountains that at one central and lower point they might build a city and from the fertile valleys draw their fruits, vegetables HAYDEN BROS, Spring Stock of dackets, Capes, Dresses and Wulsts, Special sales every day at popular prices.

Until orchards come into bearing, which is the third year, vegetables are grown, which find a ready market in the mountaine at double usual prices, thus insuring a good living. Fruit growers frequently get $500 and $600 an acre for their fruit crop, while $200 an acre is very ordinary. The market is so great, and the fruit belt so limited, that It can never be overstocked. It is doubtful if there is a more promising locality In the entire west for thrifty farmers who seek a locality where crops simply never fail. The Denver & Rio Grande hes two lines running into Grand Junction, and by its liberal policy ie doing much to develop this fruitful valley, It gives reduced rates to those seeking to Investigate the country.

Miss Reed of Fremont made a short address, in which she complimented the club on the undivided attention to the business on hand. Miss Irene Byrne was elected the club's representative at the state federation. There was a motion put before the house, changing by-law vi. It now reads: “Any five women who may desire to pursue a certain line of work may ask that a department for that purpose be formed.” The proposed amen ment would have made it “any twenty-five women.” This called forth considerable dis- cussion. The feeling being strongly in favor of the article as it is, the amendment was defeated, Mrs. Squires asked particularly that all ladies who had not made their donations to the buffet do so before the next regular meeting, as the resources of the buffet would be tested to the utmost capacity at that time. The regular program for the day was in charge of the department of = political economy and soclal science, Ida E. F leader. The first number was a poem, “The Laboring Man,” the second a paper by Mrs. F. M. Kord, president of the club, followed by a paper from the pen of Miss Kate Mc- Hugh. She dwelt particularly upon the present status of labor and strikes. On the whole, she contended that the outlook was hopeful. Miss Marshall sang a selection from “Ernanl.” 1t was enthusiastically received, The exercises closed by the reading of an exceedingly clever paper by Mrs. Wagoner, in which she spoke of the necessity of purity in the ballot, urging that there never was a vote bought but was first sold.
