Breathlessy he watched his pugnacious emissary

Without further preliminaries Mike jabbed the

The carriage turned corner. The business at

Drawing a fountain-pen and notebook with the

Waldo Vincent began to write He intended that

How is your supply OF coal?

Has Maggie sufficient underclothing?

Waldo Vincent paused, cudgelling his brains.
That wasn't half of Miss Creightons questions,

window and fell upon sight which made him sig

Indians, tireless adherence to that
oath and a perfect allotment OF al
Indians who elected to take land
Their were no flaws in carrying out
a federal enactment, endorsed by all
Durango previous to becoming law
one boosted by Hon. Adair Wilson
and the late Charles Newman.
Next came the opening of Fort
Lewis reserve and theft of the coal
lands via the timber, stone and other
species of entry.
Next the sale of this ard other
lands fraudulently entered to the
Southern Pacific interests through
John A. Porter and others who prof
tied immensely by the deal and all
are now under federal indictment.
Following came federal investiga-
ton of stolen lands which two weeks
ago ended in the killing of Joseph
A. Walker, a trusted federal inspec-
tor. while upon the Porter Coal Com

THE TURKEY CROP IS
DESTINED TO
Be SHORT

st. Louis, Nov. 21.-The reports
received here from dealers and buy
ers of poultry all over the central
West and Southwest Indicate thar
the turkey crop this year will be
exceptionally Short, and in conse-
quence 1t is likely that many dinners
an over the land on next Thursday
be minus the usual bird. Local pro-
duce and poultry dealers declared,
that the scarcity will force the price
up to between 80 and 40 cents a
pound before Thanksgiving day has
dawned. This will make a twenty
pounl bird cost from So to SIS, a
price that will be prohibited to the
heads of thousand of households.
The changing weather last spring,
which caused a great increase in the
mortality rate among turkeys, is
given as the cause of the scarcity and
the consequent high price. Turkeys
are the tenderest of domestic fowls
and the hardest to raise. The late
spring caught millions of young tur-
keys in its icy blasts, and for every
degree that the thermometer went
down a corresponding raise now ap-
pears in the price of THANKSGIVING
turkeys. Many farmers, too, have
quit raising turkeys, because of the
great care required in bringing them
TO maturity, and this fact also has
bearing on the shortage in the crop
