DEPUTY WARDEN BACK

Deputy Warden Burghart has re-
turned from trip to Utah, where he
went in search of prisoner named
Carroll, who escaped from the pen
itentiary sixteen years ago. Mr..
Rurghart spent four days in the sad
die going over the snowy range,
through binding snow storm. The
man he was after became suspicious
that man was trying to detain him
at little town in southern Utah, and
skipped out two days before the
deputy warden arrived. 1t is sup
posed he went down into Mexico.
The trip was memorable one, and
one coming back to summer weather
here in Canon, after having week
of the worst kind of winter, was a
great experience not soon to be
forgotten.

FRUIT GROWING

One of the most promising indus
tries for the future where the sur
roundings are favorable is that of
apple growing. Truly this is good
country in which to raise apples. 1t
is not likely to he overdone in Colo
RADIO, but some orchards do not pay.
Like almost all other kinds of busi-
ness it will succeed if carried on
scientifically and with sufficient capi-
tai. The business of the future must
be carried on more in specialties.
Certain sections can grow certain
varieties. 1t would be the height of
folly to attempt to grow Baldwins
here in competition with the east; and
New York and Michigan cannot COM
pete with US in growing the Ben
Davis. We sometimes display our
ignorance by insisting that nursery
tree shall be one that grows straight
and smooth, tall and stalky, while
our best Judgment tells US that
perhaps half the varieties will not
grow that way. We should learn that
tree may be first class, and yet be
small, crooked and gnarly, provided
it is characteristic of the variety.
Large size ought not to be the best
recommendation in nursery tree,
as it is well known that the trees
hereaDouts which bear the best
fruits are not always the largest.
Choose trees for vigor, freedom from
insects and fungi, and of firm hard
growth. The toughest and best trees
are those of medium growth. AS
general thing more mistakes are made
in planting too old than too young
trees. The majority of fruit men
favor trees. two years old. The air
should be excluded from the roots of
the young trees and for this reason
great care should be taken in work.
ing the earth well down among them
Earth should be mounded up eight
or ten inches around the body of the
tree every winter for four or five
years. The spring is the time to
cut back. Lean the tree a little
south and be sure the soil is tamped
in hard among the roots, but in doing
this do not bruise the roots. The
most common distance apart to set
apple trees is twenty feet, sometimes
closer. Confine yourself to few varie- |
ties which have been tested in this
locality. All but beginners III prun-
ing know that little pruning should
be done each year and not great
deal at one time. A heavy pruning
has tendency to make wood growth
usually at the expense Of the fruit.
Whenever two branches cross and
rest on each other, cut out the weak
er one. Be careful to protect all
wounds by painting. If you want
good, high colored fruit you must
keep the top thined out and let in
sunshine and air. Pruning may also
be the means of timing the fruit.

POSTAL NOTES

Before being mailed letter should
always be stamped. Many letters are
not and it causes great amount of
Inconvenience to the addressee.
Always put your own name and
address on every letter or package
you mail. If anything is wrong with
the address you then will get the
letter or package back.
Q Q Q
Never ask for credit at the post
office.
The postofiice is not allowed to
take checks, however good they may
be.
Every package should be weighed
before it is mailed, so as to be fully
prepaid. Packages that are not fully
stamped are not sent out until the
postage is sent here.
@ Q o
Newspapers and packages cannot
be forwarded without being restamp-
ed. Only letters and postal cards
may be forwarded.
The safest way to send money is
by money order. 1t is also cheap.
Never send any valuable papers
or packages through the mail without
being registered. 1t costs only s
cents in addition to the regular post
age to register anything. It's safer
and you got receipt.
Letters mailed at p. m. at the
Canon City postoffice will arrive in
Denver just cs quick as though mail
ed at noon the same day.
Everybody who is in town for
three months or more, should rent a
box. The cost is but trifle. When
ones mail is addressed to box num-
ber the danger of mis-delivery is
greatly lessened. Then one can get
ones mail at any time without stand
ing in long line waiting turn.
o Q o
If there is anything about the new
arrangement of the postoffice you do
not like, just mention the matter to
the head carpenter and he will
probably fix it right.

Chinese CIAnS Eight
Trivia Disp1t hats o

Americans in the region around Swa-
tow, China, have been brought face to
face unexpectedly with a curious him
drance to trade in the form of constant
fights between clans over the most
trivial things As nearly every Chinese
1aborer is member of a clan in that
district, the commerce of the twentieth
century is stopped every little while by
the surv1va1s of a past SO ancient that
the American commonwealth is an alb
surdly young infant compared with it.
The clans are all formed of blood ell
atives and added to systematically
by intermariage SO that all the mem
bers are bound together by ties of rela-
tionship. Each member pays all he can
to the headTnan of his clan, and the
sums obtained in this way are enor-
nous
Thus the Ur clan recently fought for
six months and the total cost of the
war was only 13 cents man, certainly
as low war budget as there is on rec
ord.
few months ago two men from two
different clans met in village in the
province One mentioned the others

It is curious and Interesting in read
ing the lives of great military COM
manders to observe among the large
number of generals who have held in
dependent commands how few have
careers of uninterrupted success A
man who can go through a campaign
and fight many battles and never suffer
a reverse must, indeed, be a command
er OF the first order
The Duke of A1va, one of the most
eminent soldiers of the sixteenth cen
fury, never, throughout his long and
eventful career, lost a battle The
archbishop of Cologne was struck by
his efforts to avoid conflict, having
on one occasion urged him to engage
the Dutch THE object of general.
replied A1va, lis not to fight, but to
conquer; he fights enough who obtains
the victory
Oliver Cromwell, throughout his mil
itary career, never lost a battle, though
he very nearly sustained reverse at
Dunbar

! excellent example of a successful SOL
der. He combined all the qualities
necessary for great commander, and

battle was fought in consequence by
the clans. Several hundred men We're
on each side. About fifty were killed
1t was satisfactory affair
In Chao Peng two men of the Ur-
Chang clan went out frog-catching and
passed through one of the villages with
less clothes than the law allows
1t was late at night and only one viii
lager saw it. But the indignity was not
to be borne, and war was declared 1t
involved 10000 men on one side and
20 900 on the other.
Another battle in which property
valued at $4,000 was destroyed was
caused by a dispute between men OF
rival clans over a gambling debt The
amount at issue in the quarrel was
.OO2S cent.
At present there is more less de-
suItory fighting between the Chow
Yang and the Jao Peng clans. No one
knows what they are fighting about.
but the rate of deaths is estimated as
being ten or twelve a day, which is
pretty good for mere pickering

A Little Heroine.

A Little Heroine.
1t was .tover in jersey that a little
incident happened a few weeks ago
in which an 11-year-old girl displayed
qualities of character worthy to be
compared with the men who stood by
their posts in the New York tunnel
disaster The girl in question, with
a COMPANION somewhat older than her
self was playing on the ice in the
Raritan canal near New brunswick,
when the latter suddenly went down
through an air-hole, says Leslie's
Weekly No help being in sight, the
Younger girl promptly laid down nat
on the ice around the hole and waited
for her friend to come up, but when
the latter appeared she was too far
away, and her rescuer could not grasp
her. Twice the girl sank out of sight,
and when she reappeared, the other
who had commenced to yell Justify for
help but without changing her posi-
ton managed to grasp ner friend
hair She could not pun the drowning
girl out of the water, but she held on
desperate1y until a man who heard
her cries came up and rescue both.
The water had flowed over the ice
around the hole SO that the younger
girl was half submerged, and more.
than half frozen when help came, but
she did not shrink from her effort, nor
seem to realize that she herself was
in any danger, her only thought being
for her companion, whom she had
snatched from the very jaws OF death
