WILL
INVESTIGATE

The success attending the efforts
of fruit growers on the western
slope in smudging their orchards
during the recent frosts has attract
ed the hvclieSt attention among peo-
pie here, and they are determined to
, thoroughly investigate the adaptable
ity of such means of salvation for
the Canon City district, says the Cam
on City Record.
Continuing, the Record says:
Many of our local horticulturists
are convinced that they could have
saved their fruit crop from the dis
astrous freeze last Saturday night by
smudging, and that its loss was due
to negligence, or to sleeping on their
privileges. They are determined
that it shall not happen again if it
can be avoided by personal endeavor.
Everywhere one hears the matter
of smudging being discussed, and
the opinion is general that it is eff
cacious in p4eventing damage in the
orchards fr9A spring frosts. 1t is
considered by everybody that the eli
mate. soil and environment here is
as favorable for fruit raising as they
are anywhere in the country; in
deed. We enjoy peculiar advantages
in that respect. The recent frosts
were unexpected and abnormal, and
may not occur for a generation
again. 1t is the contingencies. how
ever, that must be guarded against,
and we must be ready to anticipate
the losses accruing from them by in
voking such preventatives as lie
within our power.
The very generous offer of the
Fremont County National Bank to
meet all expenses connected with
the sending of commission to the
western slope to investigate the value
of smudging is highly enterprising
and commendable. Such an investi-
cation, If thorough and exhaustive,
cannot fail to be of much real bene-
fit to the community.

CLAIMS DELTA WILL
HAVE 1900 CARLOADS.

In spite of the freeze of Saturday,
Sunday and Tuesday nights Delta
county will yield a great quantity of
fruit of all kinds and will ship ap-
proximately 1,500 cars with a valu-
alton of not less than $1,O00,000, If
ordinary prices are realized and it is
more than likely that extraordinary
prices will be realized. as the cold
wave was as general throughout the
United States as year ago.
The above estimate is made on
authority of Horticultural Inspector
Harry Richardson who is acquainted
with conditions throughout the en-
1 tire county better than any one else
A year ago Mr.. Richardson sized up
I the situation almost exactly as it
turned out to be and there is every
: reason to believe that he knows
what he is talking about at this time.
I He says an estimate of 1900 cars is
conservative.
Tribune has not relied on Mr..
Richardson's prophesy entirely. how
ever, but has made a careful tele-
| phone canvass of the county and has
every reason to believe that there
will not be less than 800 cars and
/ in our judgment the large probabili-
| ties are this number will be eX-
ceeded.
| The freeze of Tuesday night did
the most damage in the Hotchkiss,
! Surface Creek and Delta districts.
There was not a great deal of loss
on upper Surface Creek up to Tues
day night. AT Paonia, however, the
| Tuesday night experience was not
severe and they lost but little if any
thing, the thermometer going down
to 81 for 80 minutes and then run
ming up to above 80, where it held
until morning.-Delta Tribune.

The Building of the World

Lean the hill upon the mountain and
the vale upon the hill,
Cleave the vale and dig the 'channel
for the waters of the rill;
Plant the tree and SOW the meadow
with the blooms of eyes delight,
Hang the sun upon the morning and
the stars upon the night;
Pour the waters of the ocean round
the verges of the spheres,
Loose the thunder and the Lightning,
set the clouds and rain the tears
Cool the far, internal furnace of the
molten globe with dew,
Fix the heavens with their arches
deep and beautiful and blue;
Loose the moon and'nether planets in
the orbits of the dark
And the poles upon the center of the
zodiacal arc;
Bring the molIusk from the atom,
till the ages, rung by rung.
Climb the valleys of creation till the
perfect world be swung!
Then bring summer on the south wind
and the spring upon the breeze,
With rose of April weather pouring
down the rolling seas;
Herd the lion with the leopard and
the eagle with the lamb,
Clothe the rock with bloomy verdure
and the morning tides with calm;
Charge with crystal all the fountains
till the land, the sky, the streams
Roll in grooves of settled odor in
creations dream of dreams!
Still imperfect? Still unfinished?
Yea, the builder saw the flaw,
Then the gardens of wide wonder and
the deserts of wide awe
Shook with sudden, strange pulsation
as wondrous music woke
And the air upon the pillows IN "a
thousand balsams broke,
And the day and night divided as
descended from above,
Winged with white, the slender foot
ed, rose encircled spirit-Iove!
Roads from roads in lanes divided,
cities clustered street by street,
Hammers swung and anvils sounded,
FORCES famed and sledges beat;
Hearts responded, husbands labored,
whistles sounded, day was done,
Down the pathways thousands hasten
ed till the gates of rose we're won't
Crowned and chapleted with beauty
world created, land and foam,
1t is finished, sang the Builder, with
the building of the home!

A Wasp's Mistake.

1t Is generally supposed that instinct
unerringly teaches birds and insects
the best way In which to build their
homes or nests and also to provide for
their offspring. The following Incl
dent will show that instinct is not al
ways infallible:
A naturalist placed three small emp
ty Walls in an open box on a shelf In
an upright position In close contact,
and they were uncorked. A short time
afterward 1t was a matter of surprise
ated by female mud wasp She had
placed n goodly number of spiders is
the center vial, doubtless intended to
serve as food for her future brood,
then proceeded to deposit her eggs In
those on either side. She next closed
tightly the mouths Of all the recepta-
cles with hard lime cement. Having
finished her work, she then doubtless
went on her way, satisfied all had been
done for her offspring that a thought
full mother could do. But just think
of the sensations Of those little waSps
when they come into existence, for,
while starving In their sealed cages,
they can plainly see through the i'm
penetrable glass walls the bountiful
supply of food which was provided for
their use.

 This was Valentine Day and the scheme of score cards, decorations and prizes, was all appropriate to the occasion.
 The very interesting game of 800 was played with zest by those pres ent, and much amusement was found in the game. The score cards were made of Valentines, the home was beautifully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers, and innumer- able red hearts.
 The prize, a lovely Valentine copy of "The Love Affairs of Literary Men," was won by Miss Nimocks. who very graciously presented it to Mrs. D. F. Nichols, of Helena.
 After the merry party of guests had played to their hearts content, tempt ing refreshments were daintily served, and all present bid their hostess good bye with an accent of the pleasure they had enjoyed, and many hearty good wishes

The Woman's Home Mission So- ciety now holds it's regular weekly meetings with Mrs. w. T. Sanders every Tuesday afternoon.
 Our president is very desirous of a full attendance at the next meeting, February 9, 1908, as the years work will be brought to a close, and officers elected for the ensuing year.
 While our auxiliary is just one year old, We have a membership of fifty, and each one seems interested in the work, yet there is vast room for inn provement with us, and when We weigh our efforts and offerings as com pared with Christ's countless gifts of love to us we feel ashamed that we have done so little in the missionary cause. The opportunities for us to work in this Christian land are cer- tainly very exceptional, and if we would only be forgetful of self, and trust more implicitly in Christ's prom iSes to us, our lives would certainly be much happier and far more useful. Let us then dear sisters, in the begin ming of our years work resolve to at- tend the weekly meetings more reg. ularly, be more jealous, more loyal, more faithful, always giving willing service to the work of our dear Master and trying to do something in the great battle for God and truth.

Among the Birds.

The Garden Of Eden is already ia nous for it's fertile soil, splendid men and women, cotton, corn, pumpkins, cockleburs, broomsage, niggers, etc.. but the first Of the week added another feather to it's already heavily plumed bonnet.
 Until quite recently quail in the bot tom country were almost unknown, but the clearing up of much land-in fact more than could be cultivated with the scarcity of labor, and conse- quently many fields having grown up in seed weed and cockleburs, have at tracted the birds to that quarter. Last Monday, Messrs. Jas. Alley, F.. J. Barrow and Ed. Landvoigt, accept ed an invitation of the DeRositt Bros to spend few days in their bungalow on the famous Fishing Lake Planta- ton. The party was accompanied by their host, Hon. F. w. DeRositt. Four miles north on the east bank of the St. Francis river, in the heart of the Garden of Eden, lies Fishing Lake farm, but the present condition of the roads seemingly added many miles to the journey. However the party got there, and were hospitably welcomed by the lord of the manor. Squire Jim DeRositt. After hearty meal of food which sticks to the ribs, and with tired dogs, the famous cookie bur patch of Col. Sweets was visited And speaking of burs, they are world beaters, many of them ten feet high, but while Sweets crop of burs excel in quantity, DeRoSitt beats them in quality.
 Never in the experience of these sportsmen did they find birds so plen- tiful. Whir whir whir was the music in every direction, and feathers began to fly Mir. Barrow making eight suraights without moving from his tracks, while from other parts of the fields the snap of guns told the story of well filled bags.
 Rain came Monday night and of and on the whole day Tuesday, but between showers a number of birds were killed. Wednesday morning ice, snow, water, mud, wind and cold pre- vailed, but instead of needing the ad- vice of writer in the Recreation 'to stay at home in such weather, the party went out and added number of birds to the score.
 There was considerable rivalry be- tween the two crack shots, Barrow and Alley, and the judges are holding their decision in abeyance. At every meal quail was served in every style, and the way they were relished "thir- U quail in thirty days would seem a joke, for some of the boys could eat the whole bunch at one sitting. Notwith- standing the inclement weather, 40 birds were bagged.
 At noon Wednesday bidding adieu to their hosts the journey home com menced. The road in many places was almost impossible, the wheels sinking in the mud up to the hubs. After the usual delay at the ferry the party arrived home from one of the most enjoyable trips of the season.
 And in conclusion, The Times fami- ly extends thanks to the party for quail on toast"
