both their high school football and
basket ball teams go down to defeat.
The football game began promptly
at2:l5 and hardly five minutes had
elapsed before the Deltaites had by
snappy end plays succeeded in making
touchdown, by kicking goal they had
six points the best of the playing.
Wheh the team lined up again from the
kickoff, the Delta boys gradually took
fhe ball down the field. but this time
every inch of ground was stubbornly
fought for. but finally Delta man got
around the right end, ran thirty yards
for a touchdown, but failed to kick off,
After the hall was put in play again the
two teams swayed to and fro in the
center of the field until the first half
ended.
The Grand Junction team seemed to
play better in the second half and took
the ball to Delta territory from the
beginning and after fifteen minutes of
play had the ball on the ve-yard line.
Here the home team took brace and
held the visitors for downs :and carried
the ball back towards the center of the
field when time was called, neither side
making anything in the second half.
The contest ended with the score stand
ing 10 to in Dclta's favor.
At half past four the girls represent
ing the Grand Junction and Delta high
schools faced one another and the
basket ball game began, it being agreed
that the game was TO be played in ten
minute quarters, In the FIST QaaIAst

in the second quarter neither team
made anything. but the third proved
lucky for Delta and basket was made
from the field. which gave them 2 u l.
Another basket was made in the same
manner just as time was called, but
was not allowed. In the fourth quarter
both sides made place basket which
made the final score 8 to in favor of
Delta.
A reception was given at the X. P.
hall in the evening in honor of the visi-
tors and all announced that they had
had a good time even il they did get

At meeting, in Denver this week,
of the state Board of equalization tax
against all property in the state was
placed at four mills. The railroad
comapnies recently requested that
property values be raised in certain
counties where they were paying from
sixty-five to eighty-five per cent of the

raised the valuation of the railroad
property in the same proportion. Delta
is not one of these counties.

Cattle Market Shows Improvement

Denver Stock Var 8 O.t. l6.-A
markets noted a sigh. improvement
last week. although the advance was
not very material. Eastern markets
were quoted steady to strong with
instances of a ten cent advance. There
was n good many cattle here. but any
thing desirable sold readily as there was
a good demand. The market closed
steady to a shade higher on good stuff
and barely steady on the common kinds.
Very few beef steers were included in
the weeks supply and packers were
unable to get what they wanted. The
demand, therefore for light weight
steers carrying plenty Of fat is excellent
Cows were plentiful. but choice ones
rather scarce. The best on sale were
only good enough to bring s2.70 with
the bulk Of the fair to good at $2.35 to
81. IS and medium cows around 81. 90 to
$3.50. Sales below e. 90 were numer-
Gus on account of poor quality. Bulls
sold well as the demand is very good.
$2.20 represents top for the week.
Veals were also higher with the best at
A.OO and one bunch Of light veals this
morning at $3.50.
1t was the same old story in the
fee der and stocker market. There
were a good many steers here, but
plenty of buyers for all Of them. A
number of the big eastern feeders now
hnve buyers stationed here and are
buying all they can get. The small
feeder is also well represented and
large number have been here from the
eastern states during the last week
buying all the way from one to dozen
loads each. Dealers also had plenty Of
orders and the result was good. active
market for anything at oil desirable at
rather better than river prices. Best

ten description of such animal shall be

Argument in Burton Case.

The hearing of arguments by Judge

the Indictment charging him with hav-.
ing used his influence in behalf of the
Rialto Grain and Securities company Of
St Louis. before the postoffice depart
ment, was begun Monday At St. Louis.

Chicago, counsel for Burton declared
that the indictment fails to charge dat
Burton knew o. TIE case then pending
against the Rialto company. He con-
tended that the word knowingly" in
the indictment only extends to the qu-
estion of his having accepted compen-
sation, and that it connot be extended
to be an allegation that Burton knew
of the case pending
Attorney Haynes argued further that
while the indictment alleges that Sen
ator Burton agreed to receive compen-
sation for his services, it does not set
out with whom he agreed. The indict-
ment, he argued does not specify as to
the services rendered or when services
were to be rendered.
1t Is alleged by the indictment. Hay
mes stated that the question being in
vestigated by the postoffice depart
ment was whether the Rialto company
had violated section $3.50 of the Grim
inal statues. The only power that
makes such an investigation is court
and if the postoffice department was
making such an investigation it was
without right.
Senator Burton was present in court
and sat quietly beside his counsel.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that I
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays Ibegan.to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed dendorsement,o ,or has such a record Of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
& Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

FIRING BY RUSSIANS
WAS NOT UNSUITABLE
North Sea Commission Make
Public It's Decision.
czAR's COMMISSIONER DIssENTs

Russian Admiral Did All He Could TO
Protect Fishermen, But Should Have
Notified Neighboring Maritime Pow
ers of His Action.
Paris, Feb. $3.50 p. m.-The de-
cision in the international commission
of inquiry into the North sea incident
was publicly announced at the closing
session of the commission today.
The decision lengthily sets forth the
circumstances and incidents and gives
the opinion of the admiraIs on the va
rious important points involved. The
decision says the delay of the Rus
sian transport Kamschatka following
the break down of her machinery was
perhaps the cause of the incident. The
commander of the Kamschatka signal
ed to Admiral Rojestvensky and report
ed that he was attacked by torpedo
boats. The admiral, therefore, had
reason to believe he was attacked and
gave orders for strict vigilance against
the possible approach of torpedo
boats.
The majority of the commission con-
siders that Admiral Rojesvensky's Or
ders were not excessive in lieu of war,
particularly under the circumstances
and that he had every reason to con-
slider the situation very alarming.
Tho
recognizes unanimously that the fish
ing fleet committed no hostile act and
the majority Of the commissioners be-
ing Of the opinion that they were not
neither among the fishing boats nor in
their vicinity as torpedo boats, the
opening of fire by Admiral Rojstven-
sky was not justified.
The decision further says the Rus
sian commissioner did not share in
the latter opinion.
In any event, the decision contin.
ues, the commissioners are glad to rec
ognize unanimously that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky personally, did all he could
from the commencement to the end to
prevent the trawlers from being the
object Of the fire by the Russian squad.
ron"
Concerning the squadron's proceed
fng without assisting the damaged
trawlers, the decision says:
"The commissioners are unanimous
that under the circumstances preced-
ing and following the incident that
there was such uncertainty concerning
the danger to the squadron as to war
rant Admiral Rojestvensky in contin-
uing his route.
However, the majority regrets that
the admiral did not Aform the neigh
boring maritime powers of what had
occurred"
The decision concludes as follows:
"The commissioners declare that
their views as formulated are not of
nature to cast any disrespect on the
military valor nor upon the sentiments
Of humanity of Admiral Rojestvensky
and the personnel of his squadron"
