There is now no longer any
doubt but that another newspap-
er is badly needed at Hotchkiss.
The people up there like those at
other places want a change when
papers become so rotten that it
will misrepresent public matters
in a useless endeavor to secure
something to which it is not en-
titled. After putting in a bid for
full legal rates for the county
printing last January against the
bid of the INDEPENDENT which
was about forty per cent less,
they now are claiming the tax
payers are being robbed. This
paper has represented to its read
ers that it could print the tax list
$500 less than we it can be print
ed for here in Delta, and have
more than insinuated that they
were dishonest because they
would not let them do this print
ing at what proved to be a big
loss when this very thing was
done two years ago. County le-
gal printing in many respects is
like the duties of county officials,
it is not only inconvenient but
extremely costly to have it done
away from the county seat. The
very fact that many states have
laws to prevent the possibility of
the printing going to papers stu
ated in the outlying districts
which have practically no circula-
ton is conclusive evidence that it
is both costly and ineonvenient.
There is a question as,to whether
or not the tax list could be print
ed at. Hotchkiss free ands,saws
one cent to the TAXPAYERS. 'e-A -

The lack Of cost necessary to

;:...has .undoubtly been responsible
for the big loss an account OF the

THE CONQUEST OF tHE PLANS. .

We of Colorado, who are great
ly interested in national aid to ir-
rigation, dry land farming, seed
selection and other matters that
have a direct bearing upon our
own progress and development,
should not ldse sight of the fact
that these are merely parts of a
great and far-reaching movement
that is fast wiping out of exist
ence the old arid plains region of
the United States and bringing
under cultivation a vast empire
that was hut a short time ago
considered as hopelessly barren
or arid.
In the decade from 1890 to 1900
the western movement of popu-
lation seemed to be almost at a
standstill. In these ten years
Colorado increased only 3O.6 per
cent. in population, as compared
with 112. ! per cent. in the pre-
cedlng decade and 1915 per cent.
in the period from 1870 to 1880.
The Interpretation of these fig
ures is a simple matter. They
show that in the period from
1870 to 1890 the area of easily
cultivable lands had been approp-
rated to private ownership. and
in the period from 1890 to 1900
there was an actual decrease of
population in many counties of
the state. Eight counties, Baca,

PULPIT MADE A
PRISONERS DOCK
Courthouse in Danger Of Collapse
Under Crowds Thronging to
Murder Trial.

Special to The journal.
Des Moines, Feb. 16-The pulpit Of
the Y. M. G. A. building has become a
prisoner dock.
The enormous crowd this morning
crowding the courtroom at the trial Of
Parles Thomas for the murder of Mabel
Scofeld caused grave apprehension that
the courthouse, temporary structure,
would collapse and on the advice of
competent architects, Judge Mickey is
sued an order transferring the trial to
the auditorium of the Y. NJ. G. A. build
This was done over the protest Of
defendant g attorneys, who say it was
prompted by a desire to satisfy the
demand Of the public to hear the trial
and is to the advantage of the prose-
cution for the reason that the presence
of throng will be construed by the
jury as evidence of popular sentiment
against the prisoner. The courthouse
corridors, as we'll as the trial room,
were damned with people striving to
hear the evidence, and the courthouse
kwas actually in danger Of collapse.
DR.. shone, who conducted the
autopsy over the remains, testified that
not drop of water was found in the
girls lungs, as would have been the
case if she took her life by drowning.
Thomas is allegedto have admins
tered choral as ''knockout drops,' Civ
ing unintentionally fatal dose, and is
trying to prove the suicide theory. The
alleged crime was committed five years
ago. .~

RAID BY RUSSIANS
IS THROWN BACK.
Advance Along Hun River Meets
Jap Check and Becomes a.
i" Retreat.

Toxic, Feb. 16.-The following dis
patch was received today from the
headquarters of the Japanese armies in
Manchuria:
In the direction Of the Shak-he river
our artillery, Feb. IA, bombarded CHEN
sun-mu-pao-tzu, and set fire to that vii
lage. The enemy's artillery in the
neighborhood of San-cheng-tzu noun
tain replied.
The night of Feb. IA, section of
the enemy's infantry attacked Wai-tao
mountain, and at dawn, Feb. Is, bat
talon attacked Wai-tao mountain, but
the Russians wer entirely repulsed.
In the direction of Chi-tai-tzu in the
morning of Feb. Is, 500 Of the enemy's
cavalry advanced into San-tai-tze from
Sheng-tsai-men, three miles northwest
of Chi-tai-tzu. Another force of cav
airy advanced south along the right
bank Of the Hun river, Feb. Il, and
passed the night in the neighborhood
Of Chcn,chia- wa-tzu, placing outpuosts
in the vicinity of Ka-ve-hang-tsu. Be-
fore the arrival of our detachment dis
patched to dislodge the enemy his force
began to. retreat north. Our detach-
ment, quickly pursuing him towards
Hei-yu-k ou, inflicted some damage. The
enemy's artillery taking up a position
in the neighborhood Of Wan-chia-wo-
peng covered his retreat. The enemy g
strength was about ten squadrons of
cavalry and artillery.

remain in Washington two or three
days, going over the affairs Of the bank
with officials Of the department of the
controlle rof the currency. These af-
fairs are mostly matters of unim-
portant detail conencted with procedure,
and have no general public interest.
resp1nden to oda to that ao he dd 9 NOT
look for any more arrests in connection
with the failure. y
Mr.. Baird said also that there would
be no divident for at least two months
The law gives creditors three months
from the time Of failure in which to
prove up their claims, and nothing will
be done about dividends until all claims
have been properly presented.

SM0OI DECISION
TO Be DEFERRED
Senate Committee Likely to Be
Against Him, but Report
Will Wait.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
will meet next Saturday to take up the
case of Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah,
whose expulsion is demanded because Of
his connection as an apostle in the Nor
mon church. The preparation of a re-
port will be taken up. 1t is understood
that no matter what the recommends
tions Of the committee may be, the ques-
ton will not be taken up in the senate
until the next session. It has been sug-
gested that it may be considered dur
ing the special session called to confirm
the president s nominations after March
4, but this is said to be unlikely.
There is nothing to Indicate the SEN
timent of the privileges and elections
committee as to the expulsion of Mr..
6moot. Those who have conducted the
inquiry on behalf Of the petitioners ask
ing Mr.. Shoots expulsion declare there
is a majority Of from one to three
against Senator Smoot. It is estimated
that all the democrats on the commit
tee will vote against Mr.. smoot, and
that at least two republicans will act
with them. This would give the oppon-
ents of the senator a majority of one,
the committee being composed Of eight
republicans and five democrats.
Friends Of Mr.. Smoot do not concede
that this computation is accurate.

CZAR FEARS FOR THRONE
Hesitates to Gall ze1nsky Zabor-Afraid
of It's Power.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-In spite Of
Emperor Nicholas personal inclination
in favor of the zemsky tabor, as init
mated to Count Leo Denoyitch Tolstoi,
the imperial decision to summon this
parliament has not yet been taken. The
pro and con before committing himself
to this course. This statement is made
upon the authority of perhaps the most
liberal of the emperor's ministers, who
this evening informed the Associated
Press that the question remains under
consideration at the Tsarskoe Selo.
81 myself have frankly urged upon
his majesty the minister said, "the
view that the time has come when the
voice in the government and the same
counsel has been given by many others,
who, like me, believe that the moderate
liberal element which has been drifting
away can thus be rallied to the support
Of the government. His majesty re-
ceived our views sympathetically. and.
I believe, personally is inclined to
adopt the course we suggest.
'lt is no secret, however, that pow
erful influences about his majesty are
pressing the contrary view and advanc-
ing strong arguments which cannot
lightly be thrust aside, even if the de-
cision finally is favorable.'
It is understood that one Of the argu-
ments used by the court party against
the revival of the zemsky tabor is the
fact that the body in the old days
welded immense power, being itself
responsible for the elevation Of the Ro-
manoff dynasty to the throne, and there
fore it might even undertake, if again
called into being, to elect a new ruler.
the opposition to the zemsky tabor is
voiced in yesterdays Moscow Gazette,
the leading exponent Of the absolute
autocracy of Russia, in which it is
prophesied that the creation of the cleo
toral assembly will lead to q struggle
between it and the emperor which in.
evitably will end in the overthrow of
the autocracv

CHILD LABOR IN
THE LEGISLATURE.
Social Democrats Secure Report
for It's Adjustment in

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 16.-Social dem
ocrats have secured report from the
special committee on rules to abolish
child labor in the legislature. Some of
the messengers and pages are under IA.
The social democrats sought early to
dlsplace these with older boys, but the
legislature killed the measure, holding
that it was not amenable to state laws.
The report favors conforming to the
child-labor law and will be adopted.
The senate today passed the Martin
bill exempting from taxation requests
to municipalities, also the Kreutzer bill
establishing municipal court in Mara
thon county. Hudnall's grain -inspec-
tlon measure was ordered to third read
ing. 49,.
In the assembly the committee on
education reported for indefinite post
ponemaent the bill providing for life
certificates for teachers after fifteen
years of service.
The substitute report Of the commit
tee on rules on the child-labor resolu-
ton was adopted with only two dis
senting votes. The bill to restrict the
sale Of giant frecrackers was favora-
bly, reported.
The assembly followed the lead of
the senate on the capitol-architect res
olution, re-referring it to the joint COM
mittee on capitol and grounds. The
hearing in the matter will be held Tues
day afternoon.
Mr.. Carpenters bill requiring persons
DESTROYS Of changing their names to
give also a description Of their business
and real estate, was amended and

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Feb. 16.-Sitting back to
back in the home of DR.. A. L. Nelden,
at No. Is East Twentieth street, one
woman permitted the second finger of
her right hand to be grated to the
stump Of the second finger of the left
hand of another woman who had lost
part of her digit in an accident some
years ago.
These women are practically strangers
to each othr n.vcr having met until.
a few days ago b. for th9 NEXT two or
three We Ks Il ey will pc bound together
almost as closely as were the famous
Siamese twins. Side by side they re-
cline in narrow hospital cots, their
arms from the elbows down tightly
wound in bandages, and the whole en-.
cased in a plaster cast.
DR.. Nelden, who performed the opera
ton, is the same physician who, more
than a year ago, declared that he had
grated an ear from one man g head to
another.
