This is the time when many insect
friends and enemies have eusconced
themselves in some favorable spot to
spend the winter The places chosen
vary greatly with different insects. A
great many of our common pestiferous
insects, such as the codling moth and
leaf roller, spend the winter under rub
bish, around grass roots, in fence cor
ners and beneath any similar shelter.
Without such shelter they would be un-
able to pass the winter safely. Farm
ers and fruit growers general may
take advantage of this habot Of insects
and profit greatly by it. All hat is
necessary is to remove the wiutering
place. Then it is plain that insects
can not survive the winter and that
there will be none in the spring o null
tiply and annoy us the next year. OF
course our common sense tells rs that
such an ideal condition of affairs can
not exist. for it is impossible 10 de-
stroy all shelters suitable for insect hi
bernation. Much may be done. how
ever. that will materially act as pre-
ventive. All boards and rubbish should
be picked up. fence corners should be
looked after. hedges cleared ont and
all weed patches and leaves burned af-
ter cold weather has come on and the
insects are in winter quarter

pretended or punished therefor; and
Whereas. The civil authorities have
shown themselves either unable to deal
with these criminals and to bring them
to punishment, or else are unwilling TO
perform their duty by reason OF threats
and intimidations, or through fear or
subserviency to such bodies of lawless
and armed men, so that state OF law
lessness exists in said county or Teller.

citizens are unable to enjoy the rights
guaranteed them by the constitution

of these conditions, it appears that lie

MILITARY RULE
GOES INTO EFFECT

Denver, Dec. "a Victor special to
the News last nights ays: This city
is practically in the hands OF the mill
tary authorities tonight. 1t has been
since about O'Clock this evening.
Martial law, however, has not yet
taken full effect, though technically
it is in force.
The governors proclamation was
read in Victor by Major McClelland at
p. m.
The Page building was seized as
headquarters for the militia this after
noon.
Major Naylor, with a troop Of cav
airy, notified the chief of police that
he must not interfere with the militia.
but must act with them.
Tonight Major Naylor visited the
Victor Record Office and compelled the
editor to cut out an editorial comment
ing on the situation.
Soldiers are patrolling the business
and residence streets. The civil Of
ficers are still holding their positions
and will continue to do so until to-
morrow afternoon, probably. There
has been no disorder or any unusual
demonstration since Governor Pea
bodys proclamation Of martial law
was read here at the corner of Victor
avenue and Third street this afternoon
by Major Thomas e. McClelland, in
command OF a troop of fifty cavalry
men, who occupied the square while
the document was being promulgated
within the hearing Of about 100 civil
lians. AS soon as it was understood
clearly by the crowd what the gov
ernOr's message contemplated the
news was carried all over the town
very quickly. The immediate effect
that was created showed that very
large majority of the people were
much surprised that the governor had
decided to take such radical action.
A number of prominent union men
stated tonight their opinion tnat mar
tial law will result in fastening q
settlement of the strike.
