OLEOMARGA|.R||INE.
Much Abused Butter Substi.
tute May Keep Butter
Trust From Boosting
Prices Out of Sight

| Chicago, Dec. Oleomargarine and
the federal antitrust law may both
be used to defeat an attempt to raise
| the price of butter. 1t is asserted
that local and eastern produce men
have combined to boost the price of
the household commodity to such a
point as to drive it from the tables
of many
Manufacturers of oleomargarine,
who were at one time nearly put in
the down and OUT GLASS by the butt
ter dealers. are said to be waiting for
the prospective rise of butter to food
the market with their product, and,
by taking advantage of those unable
to buy the pure creamery product to
prove: to them that oIeomargarine is
as good as butter and cheaper.
1t is said that from 6O,0o0,000 to
70.000.000 pounds of butter are held
in cold storage, of which amount the
Chicago warehouses hold about 25,-
100000 pounds. The present prodnc-
ton in the western country is said
2 be meagre. Commission firms In
Chicago, Boston and New York and
Elgin are declared to be Interested in
the so-cailed butter combine, which
would make it an interstate affair,
and as such comes under the Sher-
man antitrust law. U w
District Attorney Sims declared
that the federal authorities had new
er made an investigation Of combines
seeking to control the price Of butter.
but that If such combine was shown
to exist in restraint OF trade it would
be prosecuted
DIR. w. Al. Evans, health commis-
sioner, declared yesterday that the
butter dealers had used the govern
ment to .'slug the oleomargarine man
ufaIeturers declaring that the sale Of
olemargarine was prejudical to the
public health. DR. Evans also declar-
ed that this was a fallacy; that, when
properly marketed, oleomargarine was
as pure and nourishing as butter, and
that the present law against the sale
of the near-butter product Is unjust

money grant secured by a special tax

compensation will continue for four
teen years, after which no money
will be paid to saloonkeepers when

HEAVY SHOWS ASSURE
STATE GREAT CROPS
Never Was the Outlook for II Banner
Year for Fruit, Grain and Stock
More Promising Than
just Now.

Millions of dollars worth of snow
is stored in the mountains from
which comes the water to irrigate
and make productive the fruit farms
and ranches of the western slope OF
Colorado. In no other year has there
been a more favorable outlook for
the men whose prosperity is depend
ent upon the water that comes from
the snow in the hills, and so far as
may be judged at this time, enor-
nous crops will reward the men who
have lands under the ditch and
whose success Is of enormous benefit
to the entire state.
Sentinels posted by the United
States government along every
stream and in the mountain ranges
of the state have just made their re-
ports to the Denver offices of the
water resources branch of the United
States geological survey and all the
watchers on the western slope tell
the same gladdening story of pros
perity for the farmers assured by the
water supply.
Careful records are kept by the
agents of the geological survey,
showing the daily flow of water in
every stream in the state, and at the
end of each month detailed reports
of the snowfall and the depth of
snow in the mountains are made.
The reports for March are now at
hand, and they are the most encour-
aging in many years.
The winters snowfall everywhere
on the western slope has been up to
the average for many years and in
many places it has been above the
average. The snow is still deep in
the canons and ravines; it has been
packed hard by frequent slight thaws
and subsequent hard freezes and it
will lie in the hills until late in the
summer, insuring a late and con-
stant source of supply for the streams
from which hundreds of thousands
of acres are irrigated.
The reports from the eastern slope
tell another story. On the east side
the winters snowfall was unusually
light; little of the snow that did fall
has remained in the mountains and
the streams are now lower than at
any time since observations We're be-
gun by the geological survey. There
is little prospect of a supply of water
for irrigation and the FARMERS of the
eastern slope will have to rely upon
the spring and summer rainfall for
good crops.
Some of the correspondents on the
eastern slope have reported to the
survey that many farmers have found
it necessary to irrigate and thus
moisten the soil before they could
do their spring plowing.

Prof Cole talked few minutes
about the field day sports. He ex-

the spirit that is being manifested.
Coach Dodds followed Prof. Cole
and made a short but interesting
talk. He urged the boys to enter
their intended events as soon as pos
sible. He said that the ''doings"
would start at 2:30 p. m. sharp and
that unless he was badly mistaken
they would be worth the price of ad-
mission in the street sense of the
word. Coach Dodds was followed by

MESA COUNTY REPUBLICANS

Officers Elected and Bylaws Adopt

About Seventy Members
Are Enrolled.

Following several announcements
of the intended organization of a
republican club, made by the daily
organ of the party, there gathered in
/ the county court house last might
about 55 republicans, mainly repub-
lican Office holders or prospective
candidates for some office.
The following officers were elect
ed:
President, Thomas Sawyer.

committee was appointed to pre-
pare bylaws, rules. order of busi-
ness, etc These had already been
prepared in advance by some of the
big ones" and were soon intro
duced, read and adopted
Addresses were made by Senator
Horace T. DeLong. the Demosthenes
of the Mesa county republicans. who
enthusiastic and eulogistic talk;
Judge Sprigg Shackleford, who is
very anxious to step from the dis
trict judgeship to the supreme court
judgeship; Rev. J. A. Becker, the
reform leader that the regular re-
publicans will endeavor to keep in
their ranks this year; John H. Fry,
who is very. very anxious to land
the republican nomination for dis
trict attorney, and A. H. Davis and
E. A. Sherman, each of whom as
pires to be the big newspaper boss
in the coming campaign, and several
other republicans with want" and
aspirations" had a word to say.
1t was noticeable that these gem
tlemen, who are doing everything
simply for the love of the party(?)
and not with any desire of personal
gain, run things last night Very
few of the ''unexpectant' rank and
file had anything to say.
E. A. Sherman, locally celebrated
as a soloist, started a movement to
organize double quartet Gall males)
to dispense music at each and ev-
cry club meeting and republican raj
ly this summer and fall.
Although the republican organ
finds that when the charter roll for
signatures was thrown open last
night 81 signatures were secured in
a few minutes" The Sentinel, de-
string to be fair, would correct this
statement and say that about 60 sig
natures were secured during the ev-
ening.
When the club adjourned it ad-
journed to meet again on the even
ing of April IS.
1t is rumored that some of the re-
publican leaders were somewhat dis
appointed at the attendance at the
much advertised meeting last night,
and the enthusiasm could have been
confined in the gas bags of few
good sized balloons. However, the
Office holders and the Office seekers
turned out Loyalty and did all they
could to make things hum.
