LOSES HIS ARM
IN A SAW MILL

Z. j. Pheris, a well known young
man Of DeBeque, where he is en-
ployed on a large lumber ranch on
Rhoue creek, was brought to this city
on Midland los last night having
been the victim of a terrible accident
at a saw mill several miles above
DeBeqUe.
AT about 2:3O in the afternoon
while at work with others near by,
friends of the unfortunate man we're
terrified by his cry and turning saw
him thrown from the revolving buzz
saw with his left arm almost entirely
severed and his chest fearfully lacer-
ated and torn by the sharp penetrat-
ing teeth of the disc. In some man
ner he had slipped and fallen into the
saw and the fact that he escaped
death is unaccountable.
II was fully two hours and a half
later before surgical attention could
be given the injured man and it was
due only to the determined efforts of
his friends that he did not bleed to
death. The bone and muscles of the
injured arm were completely severed
and his chest was badly torn and
gashed.
He was taken from the train to St.
Mary's hospital in the Pearson Red
Cross ambulance and has been under
the care of Drs. Henderson and Day
going at once upon the operating
table where his wounds were dressed
and ii was found that none of the
large arteries were severed and con-
sequently il was not found necessary
to amputate the arm as it is believed
the bone and muscles will knit with
proper attention.
Pheris suffered intense pain both
en- route on the train and during the
drive to the hospital and after ten
hours of inattention his nerves were
almost wreck when he was finally
taken into st. Mary's hospital I'm
less complications set in it is believed
that he will recover.

Monld Play Little smndgers.

The Ouray ball team Is anxious to
get a game with Grand Junction
Little Smudgers,' the pretty fast
bunch organized after Grand juno
TONS professional team had disband-
ed. The Plaindealer thinks that the
proper thing for Grand Junction to
do is to run a big excursion up here
some time soon, while the weather is
so beastly hot in the valley, bring the
ball team along, enjoy lively game
and at the same time get a good
breath of mountain air From what
we can learn all that would be neces-
sary to get a big crowd up here from
the Junction on an excursion like this
is the securing of a reasonable eX-
cursion rate.-Ouray Plaindealer.

AMAZED.

a. l.. Qualntance of Washington.
ID. c., chief of the division of decid-
uous fruit insects of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, was a Wis
itor in the Palisade district on Mon
day in company with Prof Weldon.
Officially the government has given
but little attention to the advance
ment made in the Grand valley in
the fruit growing line, and Prof.
Quaintance was much surprised at
the conditions of the orchards, which
are far beyond his expectations. He
was also surprised and gratified at
the crop he found on the trees. He
has given much time and work to
the orchards of the Northwest but
had never investigated the Grand val
ley orchards. In comparing the re-
suits secured he was shown that the
growers here were realizing much
more per acre with less trouble from
insects and tree diseases, while the
crons are far more certain every year
The government is just making
some incipient investigations into the
matter of orchard heating but they
have been done in such meager way
as to be almost ludicrous. pamph-
let recently issued showed expert
ments made in the Northwest orch
ards where old trees and fence rails
were used for the heating. Mr.
Quaintance thought the subject would
soon be thoroughly investigated and
reported upon. He expects to soon
have an assistant located here.-Pali-

CAN'T WE HAVE TWO TRAINS ?

Why can't the Denver & Rlo
Grande run two passenger trains
daily between Grand Junction ana
Denver via Montrose2 This PROPOSE
tion has been presented to the Press,
and we think that it is good one.
At present the traffic over the road
is particularly heavy, and the one
train-a-day system is hardly adequate
to carry those who are now travelling
ever it.
Every day it is a matter Of difi-
Guilty to obtain seats in the parlor
car and the remainder OF the train is
in a like condition generally. Num-
bers of people from Grand Junction,
Delta. Olathe. Ridgway, Ouray, Tel
luride and the North Fork country
pass over the road daily, and, for the
service rendered, there is not road
in the state which has so many pas
sengers.
II may be said that this travel will
not continue so heavily through the
winter months, and, if it doesn't
then it will not be necessary to run
the two trains daily.
If the commercial associations of
Delta and Montrose could act jointly
in the matter and try to get this from
the railroad, something might be
done to help affairs. At present the
system is not only inconyenient but
almost inadequate, and many people
would rather go around by Glenwood
Springs than take the trip over the
pass.-Montrose Press.

Roasts Bedwell.

Bedwell, who has been called the
wizard of the race courses of the
world for ten years or more, was
ruled off the Latonia track a short
time ago for doping his horses. He
had many winners and record break
ers, and 1t has developed that he
picked up a lot of skates, shot arsenic
into them, and the poor brutes for
the time being ran in their old time
form. Bedwell's finish on the La
tonia track means that he is through
on other association tracks. We can
still drift down the old byways ! ) or

Guy and are not a bit surprised that
he was grabbed.-Idaho Falls Post

SMUDGERS PUT
Up HARD FIGHT

At Palisade yesterday the Little
Smudgers met their first defeat of
the season when they went down be-
fore the heavier Drawn of the Peach
Pickers. The score was to 3.
The game was witnessed by several
hundred people and 1t was replete
with features and good plays. Carna-
han and Antics composed the battery
for Grand Junction and O'Toole and
Lacey for Palisade. Costly errors on
the part of the locals and two walks
in the eight inning awarded the game
to Palisade.

and three hits while Palisade made
seven errors and five hits. The next
game will be between Clifton and the
Little Smudge at Clifton, next Sun

Now comes the crowning event of
the season on the western slope. the
thirteenth annual road race between
Basalt and Glenwood Springs on Sun
day, August l4th. Each race has
been better than the previous one and
this years will undoubtedly be the
biggest one of them all. In all the
past years not one of the riders has
ever complained of unfair treatment,
and the fact that the manager and
promoter of each one of, these races
is Mr.. C. NJ. Keck, passenger agent of
the Colorado Midland at Glenwood
Springs, is sufficient evidence that
every rider gets a square deal. Its
the cleanest sport ever introduced on

Tuesday night the Gunnison river
at its confluence with the Grand at
Grand Junction was at so low stage
that the pumps which supply Grand
Junction with water refused to pump.
The turning of the water through the
Montrose tunnel is blamed for this,
and but one-eighth of the amount
awarded to the tunnel is being used.
The washing out of 80 feet of con-
crete work at the tunnel intake ne
cessitated the turning back of seven
eighths of the water from the tun-
mel into the stream. The Sentinel
says that, had the full capacity of
the tunnel been taken out of the
channel the Gunnison would have
been dry at Grand Junction. And

SOUND SENSE.

The articles written by DR.. Morsman
which have been appearing regularly
on the last page of the Tribune are
pertinent and pithy. The doctor is a
good pen pusher, and understands his
subject or rather subjects. Those
who have been following him closely
have gotten light on a variety of
important subjects. DR.. Morsman
does not mince matters. He is clear
in his thoughts and logical in his con-
clusions. He has hit quackery some
hard blows. But why not? The YAM
pires who fatten off of human cred
ulity need to be exposed. The doe

Senator Aldrich's strength is the
kind hat wears. 1t is not based on a
wave of popularity, advancing and then
receoing. The reason, doubtless, is
that he has never played to the grand
stand. His purpose is always serious.
He shows nc trace of the demagogue.
On the contrary he is uniformly sin
cere, He has the courage of his con
vietlons and shows respect for the
opinion of others. He does not trim
his political sails to catch ~favoring
winds. He has high ideals and he
holds TO them. He has lofty con-
cepuons of public duty and is loyal
to them. He has advanced views of
public policy and is not afraid to de-
fend them. In the last analysis we
should say that he is a radical, or
progressive. tempered by the heat of

will be able to make an exceptionally
stron fight against the present dem
ocratic incumbent, with all of the odds

should not he any question as to his

Early in his canvass Aldrich gave
to the public a statement of his posi-

to rest their confidence solely ON

MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond.
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, July 11-Beef killers
made good their claim last week that
the outlet for beef was in bad shape
by persistently refusing to getup any
enthusiasm, although the supply of
cattle last week was about the small
est of the year, less than thirty
thousand head here. Thedecline af-
fected all kinds OF steers, the very
best kinds losing as much or more
than the cheaper gradesand the close
was 10 to 20 lower. Butcher stuff
was in better demand and made a
gain eff Is to % cents for the week,
and calves also closed higher. Rains
over the country made the market
for stockers and feeders strong, as
there is a place for steers in most
localities under favorable crop and
weather conditions. Calf receipts haV
beer running short all this season, an
prices advanced % to 80 cents last
week. and another quarter is being
put on today. The supply is $4,000
head today, including 1000 calves, an
is the largest supply of calves this
summer. Steers are slow today, and
sales are weak to 10 lower, top beef
steers here $3.50 today. Butcher eattl
are coming freely now, strong weight
western steers bringing $3.50 to $40.
and lighter steers down to $500, the
gra.s COWS 1925 to $3.50, veal calves
$500 TO $3.50. 1t looks like the ten
dency of prices is toward a lower lev
ell, and as { rule the most disappoint-
ed shippers VIII be those who send
in their cattle in the least finished
state. Top stockers bring around So
and feeders Of first quality $5.75.
Hogs declined is cents net last
week, Oh q supply the smallest of
the year, andt his decline was taken
in some quarters as a sign of what
the packers would do tothemarket on
a larger run. Supply today is 1000
head, and prices are off - to %
cents, one load of choice shipping
hogs for New York at $500, packers
top $S.S5, and bulk of sales $3.50 to
S.75. At this time a year ago heavy
hogs were al the top, around $500, or
only half a dollar below the present
prices for them, but light hogs are
still 70 to 80 cents higherthan a year
ago. There is a corneron July pork
in the Chicago market, which may
cause some strengthen provisions be-
fore August first, but the effect on
hog prices will likely be slight.

The Dairy Interests of the U. S.

According to the last year book of
the Department of Agriculture, there
are q. 720, 900 mich COWS in the us.
and these are worth s762, 945, 600. 90.
The magnitude of the industry camper
haps be best understood when it is
considered that these COWS produce
yearly about 81, 900, 900, 600 worth of
dairy products.
There is no other branch of diversi-
fled agriculture so important to the
progress of a community. The fertil-
.ity of the soil can best be maintained
by the liberal use of barnyard manur
and the dairy herd not only makes
this | ossible, but dairying is also more
remunerative than other branches of
farming when properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful prog,
res since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer of butter
has lot only benefited by being fur
nishad a more wholesome and palata-
BILE article of food, but the wife in
the farm home has been relieved of
the 6rudgery incident to butter-making
on the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not conducive
to fin quality in the finished product
and in the majority of cases by un.
skilled hands, now most of the milk
or cream is delivered to a modern dali
ry where conditions are suited to
the purpose of making butter, and the
result has been a wonderful improve
ment in the quality of our dairy prod
ucts As the quality has improved
consumption has increased and the
progress of dairying has been remark
BILE during the past decade.
The ~perpetuity of the country's
greatness deperd upon increasing the
production of farm products from yea
to year, a result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity of our farm
ing communities. Increase in produe-
ton can only come through improved
methods of agriculture and soil in
! provement. When it is considered
the dairy cow is the foundation of
soil improvement and farming pros
perit,, her importance is best under
stood and interest in her should not
be confined TO her owner. She is
an important factor in the develop
ment and prosperity of our country.
