Two men can take care OF the coal

According to Information received

ofncials Of that state that he commit
ted an offense against the law in st.
Paul several years ago and has asked
that he be allowed to stand trial for
this.
"Undersheriff Dwyer Of Colorado Is
now at Minneapolis waiting to bring
the convicted murderer to this state.
He has been at Minneapolis for sew
eral days, but because OF flaw in the
requisition papers the authorities
there refused to honor them.
"The Colorado officer wired Sheriff
Campbell this morning that the error
would be righted today and that he
hoped to be able to start back tomor-
row. He said he did not believe the
Minnesota governor would hold sher-
cliffe, although the St Paul police
were making a fight to get him. The

sMUDGE POTS AND LAND VALUES


There is quite q considerable talh
among owners Of fruit ranches and
others that. because We propose tc
use smudge pots 1t will decrease the
value OF our lands In this Wiley.
We hold an entire different view OF
the matter from that contention.
When It has been demonstrated to
the world that the Grand valley can
create 4 climate OF her own. 1t will
surely increase the vaule OF every
acre OF land in this valley.
That section Of the country lying In
the north temperate zone does not
exist that can truly say that 1t ID ab-
solutely immune from frost. 1t may
have cycles Of years. when NO late
frost will appear at untoward periods,
but that frost may not touch any
point, ID absolutely foolish to believe.
In southern California In . region
that one might say 10 as nearly i'm
mune from frost ~ any section OF the
United tSates. smudge pots are used
regularly At the slightest indication
II the fall of temperature below the
normal. simply and solely a. an in
surance OF their erops.
We cannot understand . disposition
which would contend for the non-use
OF smudge pots. 1t appeals to busi-
ness men ON the line Of insurance. II
from NO other cause, therefore II
should appeal to the farmer and fruit
grower on the same principle OF IN
insurance OF his crops.
II We can contend to every prospec-
tive purchases of land that We have
had but two or three fruit failures In
nineteen years and that We can con-
quor in the future all other possible
killing frosts. We cannot see where
IN argument would hold water that.
there is any reason whatever for the
depreciation Of our lands. We. at
least cannot see 1t In that light at all.
on the contrary We can only see in 1t
q reason for the maintenance OF the
values that now obtain for fruit lands
in the Grand valley.
It has been figured out that for
smudge pot protection. the original
cost OF the pots and the maintenance
will not cost TO exceed about 500
psr acre. Anyone who would hesitate
to pay this slight cost to insure pro-
lection to their fruit. certainly places
little value on either their fruit or
the value of their land and the less
people worry about such Individuals
the better for the country. let them
