WAR COMPLICATIONS.

There seems to be danger at this
time that the Russo-Japanese war may
extend to other nations.
The diplomatic circular issued by
Russia to the neutral powers, calling
attention to China's alleged violation of
neutrality, has been followed very
promptly by the invasion of Chinese
territory by raiding party of Russian
cavalry which crossed the Chinese bor
der in order to strike at the Japanese
line of communications. This act of
Russian intrusion is serious one and
must have been anticipated by the
Russian government when the circular
on Chinese neutrality was issued.
The complaint that France is giving
the Russian ships privileges Inconsistent
with neutrality and the charge that the
japanese navy is using the British
island of Labuan, near Borneo, as a
base from which to watch for the arri-
val of the Russian fleet, which, it is
stated will proceed toward Vladivostok,
instead of returning to Europe both
tend to complicate matters.
These charges of the violation of
China, France and Great Britain are a
menace to international peace and each
one makes it more difficult to keep the
fighting within bounds.
Another very serious element of the
situation Is the downfall of the Combes
French ministry, which has been a
powerful influence in favor of peace.
The voluntary resignation Of the cabi-

Some two weeks ago the tenderfoot
controlling the destinies of the North
Fork Times made some statement re-
garding the Paonia Booster being the
only genuine Republican paper in Delta
county. We did not deem it necessary
to notice the sayings of this wise man
from the east as he has the reputation
in Hotchkiss of being nothing less than
a third-rate "chump." But the Booster
man gets swelled up over being called
"it" and spraddles out in wind jamming
article which. in short, says the Booster
is ct" Well, the Booster editors are
young and there may be something
that they can yet learn, if it ispounded
into them just right. There is onething
certain however, the INDEPENDENT was
the only paper in Delta county that
supported the Republican party straight
SnFOuRN Luc TCCCht S0updhShs - W.
remember rightly just after the county
ticket was nominated last fall and the
Booster mans ''Dad" had been turned
down for representative, that paper
published an editorial in which was
stat ID it would support the ticket just
80 far as it could consistently" do so.
It seems after all that the Booster
might have been run in the interest of
its immediate family, only. The IN
DEPENDENT has been helping to fight
for the principles of the Republican
party before either Paonia or the
Booster or its editors were even
born. Better not get swelled up every
time you hear Mountain Canary"

OLD CROSS OF LouIseuRo.
Interesting Relic Owned by Harvard

In closet in the library at Har.

existing relics of the campaign of Sir
William Pepperell- and his New Eng

Of Louisburg, in the year 1745.
This relic is an iron cross that is be.
lieved to have adorned church in

session of Harvard is not known at
this time, as no antiquarian has ever
taken the trouble, it appears. to estab-
lish its history since 1t became col

About sixty years ago Mr.. John l..
Sibley, then librarian at Harvard,
found the cross in a lot Of discarded
articles stored in one of the smaller
buildings on the college grounds. It
was marked with tag on which was
written the statement that the cross
was brought from Louisburg by one of

OF OTCTdEOS mere.
The Montezuma Lumber Company,
at the head of which is w. H. Endner.
has invested fifty thousand dollars in a
box plant, which will be in operation
by February 18th. Mr.. Endner has
visited the California box making
plants and has gathered the good from
them all and added everything to be in
advance of any other company in abil-
ity to fill orders. The very latest in
ventions in machinery is now in transit
for this new enterprise, which will be
located at his mill near Mancos. This
will be saving of at least half a cent
per box to our fruit growers, which
will be quite snug sum in the aggre-
gate.
J. H. Kellogg has purchased of the
Stewart Ditch company three thousand
dollars worth of water, to apply on a
new tract of land which he proposes to
clear and put in peaches. There are be-
tween eighty and hundred acres in it.
The magnitude of this proposition will
indicate the manner in which the fruit
industry is being pushed in this valley.
Vast as this new orchard will be it will
be followed by several other ones of
smaller size, necessitating an extra
train load of trees next spring. The
Elberta peach brings hunpreds of thou
sands of dollars to Paonia each season
and the profit in the culture of this
fruit is inducing these new orchards to
be planted.
