The j. C. Vining Investment compa
ny of this city has purchased from A.
A. Sutton, Charles Noble, Charles Fer
tig and other officials of the First Ma
tional bank of Colorado Springs an or
chari containing 302 acres in the Sun
shine addition of the town of DeBeque,
one e-quarter of mile from the high

The consideration for the tract was
100000. and it will be cut into 1O-acre
tracts and sold during the summer by
the Vining company. The land is said
to have the Oldest adjudicated water
rights in the section. 1t has been un-
der cultivation, raising wheat, alfalfa
and corn, but is natural orchard land.
1t adjoins the Lee & Dudley orchard,
famous a. a producer of apples and
pears. Ten acres of the tract are said
to have produced $50 bushels Of corn
last fall.
The vining company will furnish
trees free to purchasers Of its DeBeque
tract, this system having proved At

promptly and soon had put an end to
what in a little while longer nigh:
have proved disastrous blaze.
The entire loss, aside from slight
damage to the building by smoke aud
water, consists of the destruction of
the office counter and an old desk, the
total being about 5000 which was COW
cred by insurance.
The cause of the fire is as vet a
mystery as the wiring was in good con
dition and no lamp had been in use ut
the counter where the blaze started.
The clerk and the driver had been in the
office at 10 clock, but they say every
thing was in good condition when they
left.
peculiar feature of the affair was
what is referred to as Barton's auto
matte fire alarm. A revolver, always
kept in the office, was in the drawer
in the counter, and the fire which
started in that part Of the Office soon
exploded the weapon and this gave the
alarm to passersby before any fire had
been discovered.
The building. which is owned by
Louis Schwarz and Harry Pease, has
been repaired and new furniture has
been ordered for the express Office.

THE COIN CASE

But little tangible progress has been
made in the Cohn bankruptcy case since
our last issue and yet Mr. Cohn and his
friends have been very busy in their
efforts to raise the money to meet the
composition offer and it is said that
this has all been arranged for and that
in few days the money will be in the
bank the trustee relieved and the
estate turned over to the bankrupt com
pany who will continue the business.
It is not always an easy matter to
raise $4,000 cash and the process has
been slow. of necessity.
An understanding was reached Thurs
day between the lawyers on both sides,
as above stated, but it will require 3
few days more to work out the details
of the plan. Even then, the approval
Of Judge Lewis to the composition will
be required and it is not known when
he will pass on the matter.

Water More Land
Certificate PLAN TO Be USED

Grand Junction, Feb. 3.-If congress
passes special act authorizing the de
partment of the interior to accept the
bonds of the Palisade irrigation dis
trict in payment for water from the
proposed High Line canal of the Grand
valley project construction on the big
canal will be started on April 1.
A special dispatch to the Daily News
from their Washington correspondent
and from the report received by the
Denver Post. is the first information
the Grand valley water users had of the
apparently successful result of Secre-
tary d. W. Aupperle's visit to Wash
ington to settle the problem of the
right of way for the canal through the
Palisade orchard district.
The old survey for the canal ran the
line through some of the most valuable
of the Palisade peach orchards. The
new line settled upon by Secretary Bal
linger and Secretary Aupperle will run
the canal above the orchards along the
line of either the Price or stub ditch
BY this change 1900 additional acres
of land can be irrigated.
The Palisade growers will then take
their water from the government ditch.

KANSAS PULLMAN
TAX IS VOID

Washington, Jan 31.-Following the
doctrine laid down in the recent opin
ion in the case of the Western Union
Telegraph company against the state
OF Kansas, the federal supreme court
rendered an opinion which in effect
prevents Kansas from ousting the Pull
man company from doing local bust
ness in that state because it failed to
pay tax of the so-called Bush act.
Justice Harlan announced the opin-
ion of the court. In summing up he
said:
60 For the reason and under the linn
itations, stated in the opinion delivered
IN Western Union Telegraph company
vs.. Kansas, and without expressing
any opinion upon questions not covered
by the opinion, we hold:
Flrst-That the Pullman company
was not bound to obtain the permission

business in Kansas but could go into
the state for the purpose of that bust
ness, without liability to taxation by
the state with respect to such business,
although subject to reasonable regula-
tions, relating to the safety, comfort
and convenience of the people, which
did not. IN real substantial sense,
burden its interstate business.
I "Second-That the requirement that
right to do interstate business in Kan
sas. should. in the form of a fee, paw
to the state specified per cent on all
its authorized capital. was Il violation
of the constitution of the United States
IN such that single fee, based as it
was on all the property interests and
business of the company. in and out of
the state. was. in effect, tax on both
theanterstate business of that company
and ON its property outside of Kansas,
and compelled the company. in order
that it might do local business in Kan
sas, in connection with it's interstate
business, to waive its constitutional
exemption of state taxation on its in
-terstate business and on its property
OUTSIDE the state.
"Third-That decree against the
company, ousting and prohibiting i.
from doing interstate business in Kan
sas was improperly granted. and should
have been denied and the bill dismiss
ed because such decree in effect
would recognize the validity of con-
dition which the state could not con-
stitutionally prescribe under the guise
of fee for permission to do inter
tate business. -

favored by the dealer with an allow

cellent moral fibre and prominent ev-
erywhere are schools and churches AMI

meetings and the lectures given by the
party were in the buildings of the Y
NJ. G. A. When the reporter expressed
a little surprise that these evidences
of the better sentiment were so preva-
lent in this undeveloped frontier state
Mr.. Edgerton said, "It s matter of
business, largely a matter of business. -
The pioneers who started in to max .

enough to realize that they could NOT
hope to people the state with a credita-
bic class of citizens unless they gav,.
prominent attention to these better
things AS rule the head of the
house comes out from the east to spy
out the land and these civilizing in
1ucnces are almost the first things he
makes inquiry about If these condi-
tions are right he then takes up such
matters as soil, health. climate am

| am sure there are a great many seri-
Gus drawbacks and ! have no doubt
there are more than were even hinted to
me in my rapid trip across the state.
There are some advantages which we
do not possess and there are many dis
advantages which those of us who are
accustomed to Colorado would probably
think We could not endure, but to the
average easterner it will probably
prove very satisfactory. There is much
hard work ahead of the newcomers be
fore they can hope to realize anything
from their land and presume many of
them will become very much discour-
aged before they will get q crop, ea-
pecially since they must pay $26 per
ton for hay and So per hundred for
oats while food stuff is little higher
than here and lumber just about the
same. Altogether I had nice trip,
although 1 suffered more from cold

that / am very glad to get back TO

contented than ever to remain here. -

APPLE VARIETIES
FOR COLORADO

Durango. Jan. 31.--The best all
around apple that grows in the Ami
mas valley, north of Durango, Colora
do, is the Wagner. 1t came to us from
mate-and is well prepared and will
stand as much abuse and climatic con-
ditions as any variety. When properly
grown at high attitudes it will keep
until July and cannot be excelled rs
desert apple, for cooking and all around
purposes. 1t attains fair size and has
Jonathan as the latter is ahead of the
Ben Davis.
The tree is a slow grower, bears very
young, but is quite hardy and dwarfisn
in nature. 1t is an upright grower and
has q tendency to overbear, requiring
vigorous thinning to gain the best re.
suits. The apples hang on the best of
any grown in this climate and the Sc
verest wind storms will not shake them
from the trees. In my judgment this
is one of the best varieties to plant at
the higher attitudes. The Mcintosh
Red is a splendid apple and comes to
us from Canada. 1t is seeding of
the old Fameuse, also called the Snow
apple. 1t is a handsome apple of very
high beautiful red color. COOL
size and young and constant bearer
The tree is hardy and vigorous in
growth and does well in the higher sit
uations. In Idaho and Montana it is
extensively grown in high attitudes
where other fruits fail When grown
at lower elevations it is late fall
apple but higher up in the mountains
it becomes good winter variety.
When properly grown it is sold as
fancy variety for both eating and cook
ing. 1t is claimed that it is sold more
during it's season than any other vari-
ETY. of apple On account of it's hand
some appearance and fine flavor it
rigthfully belongs to the fancy list. 1t
has two weak points. however, 1t drops
easily from the tree and is rather ten
der so that it must be handled careful
ly when packed.
These two varieties when properly
grown are of the highest quality and
no one will make mistake in recon.
mending their extensive growth in the
higher altituies-that is, from 5000
feet upwards. There is another variety
of the highest quality-the Northern
Spy. 1t attains its highest degree of
perfection in the high attitudes of this
country. 1t is high in color, excellen5
in flavor, good size and is splendid
keeper. The tree is one of the vigor
GUS growers of the apple family and it
is very hardy but it is late coming into
bearing and it would not be advisable
to plant very heavily. This apple also
comes from the northern country.
The Northern Greening is an apple
that originated in Wisconsin where the
climate is severe. It is large yellow
apple of very good quality and sells
well for yellow apple. The tree is
vigorous grower, hardy ana young
and constant bearer. 1t attains its
highest degree of perfection here AMI
for those wanting a yellow apple il
will be no mistake to plant this varie-
ty. 1T has weak point, however. On
H. It. -. IL.
trees are apt to break in the fall,es-
pecially in rainy weather. For this
reason the apples are generally pickel
as early as possible.

Taylor Feels Encouraged

Thursday afternoon Congressman
Taylor sent the following message to
the Grand Junction Sentinel:
Senate irrigation committee have
carefully considered and settled upon
reclamation policy. They have prac-
tically unanimously agreed not to favor
the bond issue, but will recommend is
suance of certificates. The bill has
been held up several days pending de-
termination between committee and
secretary of the interior as to form of
certificates and minor details; but it
will almost certainly pass the senate
tomorrow or Saturday.
