The nature of the Banger controversy has been such
that the facts have not always been kept in plain view;
the subject is intricate one requiring careful reading
and reentve intelligence above the ordinary Not few

epitomized it to the single conclusion that Mr. Balnger
has been accused Of some criminal act
The Press has accused him of criminal wrong
doing. Mr.. Ballinger is intelligent and keen
lawyer That he should submerge his general and legal
intelligence to the depth of criminal would be an
absurd proposition.
Mr.. Balinger is corporation man and corporation
lawyer education environment and experience have fitted
him to approach controversies between corporations and

ORCHARD HEATING a SUCCESS
Entire Grand Junction Valley of Col

Our fellowtownsman, B. L. John
son, who seems to be thoroughly a
live to the necessity of making this
fruit country to compare with the ia
nous Colorado sections is not letting
up on the matter of orchard heaters
and in that connection proposes to
find where the heaters can best be
secured for this section. The letter
below relative to the matter should
be interesting to every onein the or
chard business or who wishes the
best for the country.

Dear Sir:-I am referring to your
letter Of inquiry to several manufac-
turers Of smudge pots who are Iocat-
ed here and they promised me they
would write you fully in regard to
the different kinds of smudge pots
they put out.
We used both coil and oil pots last
spring all of which were made by
Grand Junction people. In every
case where the pots were used the
crops we're saved. We consider the
smudge pots, or orchard heaters. as
we prefer to call them, the best pos
sible plan of crop insurance.
I doubt if you will find a single
rancher in the Grand Valley next
year who viii not have his orchard
thoroughly protected

How high in the air can man rise

feet). It was supposed that y man
would lose consciousness at 5000
meters.
But Messrs. Behring and Suhring,

the greatest height ever attained, but
they were forced to inhale oxygen.

reached a point at which the expert
