THE ELKS CLUB CASE.

The effect Of the settlement OF the
Elks club cases by the city council
Is briefly this: =
The Elks club has agreed to dis
pense no more liquors after June III,
until the supreme court has rendered
its decision.
The city council has dismissed the
recent cases against the Elks club
in fact all cases except the one pend
ing before the supreme court.
Both parties agree to make every
effort to get an early decision from
the supreme court-and both parties
will necessarily have to abide by the
supreme court decision.
This seems to be a very happy set
tIement of the case.
The dry people on the committee ac-
complished' everything that could pos
sibly have been accomplished by daily
suits or more radical measures-it
has accomplished more. for by this
arrangement the bar department OF
the Elks club goes out of business
June 1st, and no other power on earth
probably could have brought that
about so soon.
We believe the settlement Is abso-
lutely satisfactory to a great major
ity of the Elks and a great majority
of the temperance advocates. 1t GER
tainly appeals most strongly to that
great majority of tax payers who are
not particularly interested in either
the Elks club nor in the prosecution
against 1t.
1t is popular movement for the dry
members of the council for 1t accom-
plishes everything the most earnest
temperance advocate could wish and
it has brought it about without ex-
pense to the city and the i'll feeling
incident to daily arrests and numer-
Gus court trials.
1t is good thing for the Eiks cub
to do for it indicates spirit OF fair
ness and a willingness to conform to
the laws OF the state and city not
usually attributed to them by their
opponents.

spring come around without having
fifteen dollars worth of residium and
distillate on each ten acre tract,
ready to save his crop.
What is a dollar and half an acre
and a little energy, forethought and
work, two or three times a season, in
comparison with a total failure of a
fruit crop?
To be sure l fully appreciate the
value of organization, and give full
endorsement to the efforts to perfect
an association, for mutual protection
and concerted action, but nevertheless
If that can't be done, some of the
more energetic growers can surely
save their fruit by individual efforts
if carried on on the lines mentioned
above, and it is suggested that inas-
much as some locations are more sus-
ceptible of danger than others, that
each man get barrel of residium and
say half a barrel of distillate and try
out for himself the requirements of
his particular orchard.

DAY PRACTICE POSSIBILITIES HERE

base oil, and numerous combinations
of these, in fact anything to make
smoke.
Nowadays the process is much SIM
plified, at least by the up to date Or
chardist and besides a greatly i'm
proved result and higher efficiency,
there is much less trouble and hard
work connected with it. 1t has been
found that the best results are OBJ
tanned by combining smudging and
heating. The smudge first and after
the blanket has formed, then add the
heat. With an adequate equipment,
the temperature in an orchard can be
raised from 20 degrees to safety, and
the best of it all, here at Canon City
you have the very things to effect this
desirable combination.
Residium at the Florence refinery
for the smudge, and part distillate and
residium for the necessary heat units.
Any specially prepared or patented
pot" or "stove" is not necessary.
While in California the early part Of
this month l visited several orchards
where this method of protection was
successfully used, only they resorted
to crude oil for both smudge and
heat. The oil was stored at various
points in the orchard. the number Of
storage places dependant upon the
exposed or sheltered position Of the
orchard, and for storage they had gal
vanized iron tanks 3 feet high by 80
inches in diameter, connected at the
bottom of the tank by hose and stop
cock.
When a frost was expected a small
excavation 6 inches deep was made,
say between every other square of
trees. and the hose run to this dirt
receptacle. A dash of a gallon or two
of oil, a touch of a match and on to
the next hole, one man easily tend
ing to 10 acres.
A help in igniting the oil or resid-
ium is an ordinary squirt can of half
kerosene and distillate of gasoline. A
squirt of a few drops on top of the
residium and your fires are started
instantly.
or course it would not do to keep
this practice up indefinitely because
the soil would become Oil soaked and
ruined several feet around the hole,
but the few times the process was
needed here at Canon would do no
practical damage, and nine times out
OF ten will be found a thorough pro-
lection to the orchards at such small
cost that not one single grower in
Canon City can afford to let another

The Lord and Nature are all right,
and they have been mighty bounti-
full to Canon fruit districts for these
many years.. but the past two springs
must have shown the people that it
wont do to go to sleep trusting solely
to the goodness of the Omnipotent, es-
pecially when the weather bureau
sends out "a hour warning.
The thing to do in such case Is to
trust in no one, but get out and help
yourself. And that is a comparatively
easy thing to do, if little thought and
preparation is put into orchard pro-
lection before the frosts come. Espe-
cially is this true, as we have every
thing right here at our doors to do
with, and in that respect are away
ahead of Grand Junction or Palisade.
Much has been said and written re-
garding the value OF smudging. Some
say it has no merit and that heat is
the only efficient protection.
One of the causes of lowering of
temperature is the radiation of the
natural warmth in the soil stored up
during the day but radiated therefrom
at night That is the reason the low
est temperature is during the early
morning hours. the warmth escaping
from the soil as the night slowly pro-
crosses.
. Now, what does a smudge do?
= t.
1t is simply an artificial cloud but
by reason of its generation has more
or less heat in it and tends to hold
this heat in direct proportion to its
heat units in itself but lies almost
wholly in its power of retaining the
heat underneath, no matter whether
that may come from the soil or from
ncient warmth left in the soil for the
smudge to retain between il and the
ground. then is the smudge rfficient,
but if the smudge has been started
the soil has practically all iadiated
and nothing else is done to replace
that heat. then is the smu Ice a fail
ure '
That is the reason some cid m it a
failure and some have fuun! it sue
cessfully saved The frr'.
The old method OF smu: ug as
practiced in numerous fruit istricts
was to depend almost entirely upon
the blanketing of smoke, anl there
were various aud sundry. pots, pans

To the everlasting shome of those

thereby depriving a woman of the po-
