Salt River Flooded Stock.

Monday evening there arrived from Hermosillo and Guaymas Mir. Louis Killeen of Phoenix, who had been visiting in a business way the two cities mentioned Mir. Killeen Is known to all the old timers in Sonora, for he was a resident many years of Ures, where he ran the United States hotel and a general merchandising business. Some five or six years ago Mir. Killeen sold out his interests in Sonora and located in the Salt River val ley, buying home and some good real estate in Phoenix, and a fine farm near there. Later he went into the furnishing goods business, which he conducted successfully thaee years or more. Recently he accepted an advantageous offer to sell the business, and lease the building for period of five years at a handsome rental But 80 active a man as Mir. Killeen could not long remain idle any length of time, and as looking out for his ranche and property was not stuff cient to keep him occupied the gentlemen conceived the idea that by little judicious hustling he might build up a bit of trade be- tween Sonora and the Salt River valley, in the way of selling live stock. So that idea resulted in the trip from which he was returning Monday. The result exceeded his most sanguine expectations He had his book filled with orders from some of the leading business men and ranche owners in Sonora. To former Governor Yzabal he sold carload of Jersey COWS; to Mir. Arturo Morales he sold carload of fine bulls, with a couple of COWS. Mir. J. D. Castro, former president of the Banco de Sonora, took a number of blooded shoats. And so on down the line; the list of orders calling for various kinds of live stock which will require a half dozen cars to carry,
 MT. Killeen remained at Nogales until Wednesday, when he returned to his home in Phoenix, to fill the orders and ship the goods" He stated that he will follow up the shipment with another visit to Sonora, where he finds the haci- enda owners all ready and willing to purchase blooded stock of all kinds.

Facts About LAND Opening.

Many inquiries come to the INDE-
PENDENT asking for information about
'1and opening" at Montrose.
So far as information is at hand,
there will be no land opening at least
not in the near future.
The government cites that the land
to be opened has already been entered
and that, of the possible $1,000 acres
remaining, that will only be watered
by the last bitches to be made by the
government and may not be in shape
to receive water for several years.
Entry of the lands under the Gunni-
son tunnel project has been going on
for several years and the opening of
the tunnel has been awaited with
feverish interest. The tunnel has at
last been completed and the formal
opening will occur September 23rd, on
the afternoon of which day President
Taft is to raise the headgate. This is
the occasion of the big celebration at
Montrose, which has led many to be-
lieve it public land opening. The
water from the tunnel will not come
into actual use until next spring. =

The County Fair Poultry Show.

Lets go see the chickens" is one of
the first expressions when people enter
the Delta County Fair. Who isn't
tempted to poke those roosters, geese
and quacks?
The peanut man is sharp enough to
keep near the poultry pavilion.
The small boy will share peanuts
every time with those Growers and
cacklers.
No use talkin', everybody likes chick
ems.
Mother started that affection when
she brought the peeps in her apron
from the nest for the little toddlers to
laugh over.
The management of our fair owns
that the poultry feature is most pop
ular, and every year they are making
advancement in housing, cooping, feed
ing, experimenting and judging the
poultry exhibit.
This season many societies advance
the amount of premiums and throw
open commodious and costly new poul-
try pavilions.
Some have advanced first premium
on single birds to SIS and pen to $50 and
offer mag aguificent silver cups. That
this is appreciated by fanciers is shown
by an increase in exhibits of high scor-
ing birds, the entry at certain fairs last
year being over 1000. A few fair
associations still have the fossil idea
that the honor and advertisement of
exhibiting is very great, so they expect
fanciers to uncrate, coop, feed, water
and recrate their birds.
One of these pays rs cents for first,
40 cents for second, and demands an
entry fee of 25 cents, and the fancier
must attend to everything, even to
paying the drayage. Prize hogs are
not needed at such fairs-the manage
ment will do. Unfortunately fairs
come at molting time when fowls are
in poor condition. They need special
care and should be exhibited where
drafts and frost cannot touch them
bedding should be dry, a sufficient
quantity of good mixed grain, gait and
water should be provided, and the su-
perintendent should not only know how
to feed fowls, but he should know the
symptoms of disease, that such fowls
may be promptly removed. 1t pays to
exhibit at progressive fairs like Delta
County's, but you must have good birds
to win.

Uncompahgre Valley Irriga-
tion Project to be Allot-
ted That Much or More.
Allotment More Than That Of
Last Year.--Project from Gun
nison to Uncompahgre to
Be Ready by April.

The Uncompahgre Valley irrigation
project will get from between $500, 900
and $500, 600 to be used on the project
for the coming year. We understand
that the allotment has been decided up
on and that it is better than it was last
year. We have it on good authority
that the exact figure is $3.50, 900, al
though other reports place it as high as
S575, 900. At any rate officials inter-
ested in the project are well pleased
with the allotment.
On being buttonholed by an Enter
prise representative, Secretary Tobin
of the Water Users Association refused
to deny or verify this report. 1T is
enough to say" says he, that every
thing looks good to me for an early
completion of the entire project
According to Mr. Tobin, it is expec-
ted that April l, 1910, will see the entire
completion of the project as far as it
pertains to that section from the Gun
nison to the Uncompahgre rivers. This
includes the cementing of the tunnel in
its entirety and all portions of the
South canal where cementing is neces-
sary. 1t is hardly expected that this
part of the work will take anywhere
near the allotment for the coming year.
which would indicate that part of the
new allotment can be used for the west
canal.
In addition to this there are indica-
tions to justify a hope that 'the once
talked of plan of issuing scrip may yet
be revived. .-Montrose Enterprise.

T. o. Munson. farming popula-
tion is an unwieldy, chaotic mass at
present apparently-incapable of larger
cooperation. A lack of system and of
fundamental knowledge of practical
business principles permeats the whole
class. Not only this, the farmer is
woefully wanting when it comes to a
knowledge of the scientific principles at
the base of his occupation.

CRAZY SNAKE CAUGHT
Leader Of Outlaw Band Of In
dians Gives Up.

Fort Worth, Tex, March 31.-A dis
patch from Muskogee, Okla, says:
P. E. Hickman, who has arrived
here from Checotah, declares that
Crazy Snake, the leader of the band
of Indians and negro outlaws, has
been taken into custody and that he
is being held at Thompson, few
miles from Checotah. The news of
his capture, Hickman declares, was
brought to Checotah by courier
guide.
According to the statement of Mr..
Hickman, the old Indian surrendered
without fight, although he is badly
wounded, suffering from a gunshot
wound in the hip sustained in an en-
counter with a posse previously. Mr..
Hickman declares that an official
statement as to his capture is being
withheld because of the intense feel
ing prevalent. The Indian, he de-
clares, will be taken to the federal
prison at Muskogee.

AGAIN PICKED TO PIECES
Payne Tariff Bill Criticised by House
Members.

Payne Tariff Bill Criticised by House
Members.
Washington, April 1.-The Payne
tariff bill again was picked to pieces
in the house of representatives. There
were no prolonged speeches and in
consequence many were afforded an
opportunity to express their views.
Lumber, coffee, wood pulp and print
paper, tobacco, coal, zinc and the bill
were generally discussed. The argu-
ments on lumber came from the South
through Mr.. PujO of Louisiana and
Mr.. Thomas of North Carolina, who
did not want the protection afforded
the lumber industry disturbed. There
was an interesting exposition of the
wood pulp question by Mr.. Mann of
Illinois, who defended the proposed
reduction of the duty on that product.
Mr.. I.arrinaga, the Porto Ricah com
missioner, made an exhaustive plea
for a tax of cents pound on coffee
from that colony. Others who spoke
were Messrs. Morgan of Missouri,
Brantley of Georgia, Douglas of Ohio,
Rothermel of Pennsylvania, Lowering
of Massachusetts, Sulzer of New York,
Mondell of Wyoming and Griest of
Pennsylvania.
That interest in the tariff debate is
tagging was evidenced by the presence
of only two dozen members at the
opening of the night session. There
was a smaller number of spectators
in the gallery than during the past
two nights. Maiden speeches were
made by Messrs. Rucker (Colo), Lat

and Morgan (Okla.):. The other
speakers at the night session were

RIVERS ARE ON A RAMPAGE
Bottom Lands Around New Ulm
Flooded.

The Minnesota and Cottonwood
rivers are on q rampage. They are
flooding the bottom lands around
New Ulm and are within few
inches of the high water mark of last
June, when hundreds of thousands OF
dollars damage was done to crops.
The ice in the Cottonwood river
formed an ice gorge from its mouth
near the Minnesota river up to the
Bentzin dana and the Touring mill at
that point and the steel and concrete
bridge were threatened with destruc-
tfon by ALI immense volume of water.
The huge ice foes damaged the mill
dam and the iron railing Of the bridge.
The city authorities dynamited the
ice gorge near the mouth of the Cot
tonwood and the outrush of water
caused the Minnesota to back water
and a rise of four feet within twenty
four hours was recorded.
All travel from the Nicollet county
side has been interrupted. The APP
proaches of the three bridges are
flooded more than five feet deep and
both rivers still are rising, although
there has been a slow thaw and no
rainfall Many feet of snow still is
piled up in the timber lands and "a.

her confessed in the Minneapolis po-
lice court that they had drugged four
men with choral and robbed them
within the past three weeks. Accord.
ing to their own testimony they had
operated from rooms at the Arcade
hotel, making a systematic effort to
decoy and rob lumberjacks in from
the woods with their winters pay.
In court Hoey and the Dryher girl
seemed to glory in their achievements
In their criminal partnership. Hoey,
according to the testimony, picked up
the victims on Bridge square and
lured them to the room, where few
glasses of drugged beer made it pos
sible for Rose to rob them. They
were given sentences of sixty and
ninety days at the workhouse, respec-
lively. Three other alleged accom-
plices also went to the workhouse for
various terms.

Creation Of Tariff Bureau by
Present Congress.
COULD AID The EXECUTIVE
Assistance Needed in Applying
Provisions of Law.

Washington, March 31.-President
Taft has declared himself in favor of
q tariff bureau to be created at this
session of congress. He believes that
such bureau would be of great as
sistance to him in the application of
the maximum and minimum principle
of the Payne bill in the negotiation
Of foreign trade agreements, as well
as in furnishing detailed information
to congress and to the White House
on various tariff questions as they
arise. The presidents announcement
was made to the executive committee
of the committee of 100 created by the
national tariff convention recently
held in Indianapolis.
This committee, consisting of H. E.
Miles, chairman; Henry R. Towne of
New York and D. A. Tompkins of
Charlotte, N. c., called at the White
House to lay before the president
the views of the tariff convention and
to recommend permanent tariff COM
mission. The members of the execu-
tive committee agree with the presi-
dent that it is necessary for congress
to provide commission or bureau for
the aid of the executive and of the
legislative departments of the govern
ment and they will use their influence
as far as possible to secure legislation

Lumber Waste Used in Manu-
tacture Of Wood Pulp.
SPENT YEARS EXPERIMENTING
Discovery Made by Professor at
State University.

One of the most significant indus,
trial discoveries of recent years has
just been acknowledged by Dean
George B. Frankforter of the college
OF chemistry Of the University of Min
nesota. 1t means, say experts, that
the United States will produce hun
dred times as much wood pulp paper
as was believed possible It means
that every cord of fir lumber will
yield $40 profit on by-products alone
and that the greater part of the go
per cent of tree now wasted will
be turned into dollars and cents It
means huge plants and new industries.
G. A. Smith of the G. A. Smith Tim
Der company is almost the sole sharer
with DR.. Frankforter of the process.
So convinced is he of the enormous
commercial value of the discovery
that an experimental plant will be
constructed this summer in the West
to be followed Immediately by the
building of mammoth plant.
The processes are already patented,
two final patents having just been
granted After the experimental plant
is in operation it is probable that
large company will be formed, but
there is no stock for sale.
DR.. Frankforter has experimental
on these processes for twelve years.
The perfected process consists of TAX
ing small pieces of waste wood or
sawdust, laying it on steel incline
over furnace and subjecting it to a
chemical process of distillation. Car
bon disulphide, or gasoline, is poured
over the sawdust, dissolving the tur-
pentine and resin, which pass off as
gases into a coil of pipes leading to
tank.
The process is similar to the dis
tillation of sugar. Wood pulp re-
mains, free from pitch, and eminently
suitable for the manufacture of paper.
The existing methods of distillation
left the pulp in the form of charcoal
DR.. Frankforter extracted from one
cord of Norway pine, worth $3.50, tur-
pentine worth $41.60 and wood pulp
worth $50, or a yield of $50 from $3.50
worth of raw material.

CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY
Hartman Roads and Officials Fined
by Federal Judge.

by Federal Judge.
Salt Lake City, March 29.-In the
United States district court Judge
Marshall fined the Union Pacific Rail-
road company, the Oregon Short Line,
the Union Pacific Coal company and
J. M. Moore, manager of the Union
Pacific company, $4,000 each. Everett
Buckingham, division traffic manager
of the Oregon Short Line, was fined
$1,000.
The fines are the result of a suit
against the coal company and two
railroad companies by the Sharp Coal
company of this city, who alleged that
the defendants had conspired and had
refused to haul coal previously pur-
chased by the Sharp company. These
charges were sustained at the trial
by jury, which found the defendants
guilty of conspiracy in restraint of
trade and in violation of the anti
trust law.
