Important Court Decisions.

Among the decisions handed down by
the supreme court yesterday were two
that are of far reaching Importance,
and of much interest. One of them is
that the owners of reservoirs are liable
for all damages that accrue from the
bursting of the reservoirs. Not only is
the corporate holding company respon-
sible, but the individual stockholders
liable for twice the amount of their
stock h ings. The decision was
handed down in the case of C. C. Samp
son of Delta VS.. the Garnet Ditch and
Reservoir company. A notable instance
of damage from the breaking of res
ervoir was last fall at Telluride when
the big lake broke its bounds and de-
stroyed many miles of the Rio Grande
Southern track.
The other decision was that surgeons
are responsible for their mistakes where
those mistakes result in damage to the
patient. The decision was handed down
in the case of DR.. William Bonnet of
Denver VS.. Mrs. Nellie Foote, and the
supreme court held that a surgeon or
doctor was liable for mistakes made in
treating a case. Mrs. Foote fell upon
sidewalk some years ago and injured
her knee. She went to DIR. Bennett,
who declared that the injury was but a
bruise. She put herself under his care
but month later it developed that the
leg had suffered a fracture and that an
operation would have to take place.
This operation shortened the length of
the limb. Mrs. Foote went into the
district court and sued DIR. Bennett for
damages and secured verdict of $500.
This verdict was appealed by DIR. Bon
nett, supported by the doctors of the
state, but today's decision upholds that
when a patient put their person in the
charge of doctor they have right to
expect correct treatment and that un-
less special contract is entered into
with the doctor relieving him of any
damages in case of mistake, the doctor
is liable for damages if he does make a
mistake AS a result of this decision
it is is believed that the majority of the
doctors in the state will only take cases
when they have been relieved of any
liability by the signing of contract on
the part of the patient relieving the
doctor of any liability. - Montrose Press.

About Hunting Licenses.

County Clerk T. w. Mcneil has re.
Gently received a communication from
the state game warden emphasizing
the fact that those who are not citizens
of the United States do rot have the
same footing in the matter of hunting
licences as do citizens of the country.
The charge to foreigners for licenses
is $40 for hunting and 81 for fishing
license. For citizens of the United
States. natural or naturalized, the cost
is orly 81 for hunting and nothing for
fishing license. Mr.. Mcneil was ap-
prised of this information in answer to
an application of local resident who

Method in Feeding.

Feeding cattle is an art. Have you
learned it? One cow needs more and
better food than another. You can't
feed them all out Of the same spoon.
Fit your ration to the COW.
The COW that is giving milk needs a
different ration from the one that will
soon begin the business of a new year.
She ought to have good. succuent. or
juicy ration. The dry COW soon to come
in needs a light, laxative ration. No
heavy grain feed for her. You want
to cool her system and heavy feed will
work the other way.
Heifers with their first calf are some
times as wild as deer. Just keep away
from them till they get over the excite
ment of that supreme moment. 1t is a
great time for the little heifer. You
will only make things worse il you try
to fix things for her. II she bawls.
let her bawl. 1t is all right. She will
soon find out what it is nil about and
then you can come 10 the front -

WHAT THE SCISSORS FOUND.

If DIR. Cook can come back,
and make good, the Democrats
will nominate him for president.
Packers are paying less for
cattle shipped in. Does beef
supplied the markets by the pack
ers show a corresponding de-
crease?
Alaska's coal deposits are so
big that they may become ma
tional issue, and more of the
same kind would be acceptable
to the people.
Everybody agrees that there
should be more farmers and farm
products, but precept in this re-
spect is not as encouraging as
the sight of a new man with the
hoe.
Gov. Hughes has to quit pub
lie life in order to earn sufficient
money to support his family. AS
a rule, the men who can afford
to be in politics are not of the
Hughes stamp.
Minority factions in Congress
are always dissatisfied with the
rules. If the Democrats were in
power it is probable that Uncle
Joe Cannon would be making
bitter complaints against Gar
Champ Clark.
The country is glad to hear
that Tom Taggart will save both
of the eyes with which, as chair
man of the National Democratic
Committee, he fores the
sweeping election of Alton B.
Parker in 1904.

LET SCHOOLS ENLARGE
Need of More School Rooms and
More Teachers in Delta.

At the meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last Monday in Judge Kings
Office, the question of completing the
Lincoln building to accommodate the
children of the district was discussed.
The city superintendent report
showed that there are from to 81
more children in each of the several
rooms of the first six grades than
should be there in order that the
teacher may do satisfactory work.
Also that several children have been
refused admission simply because there
was no place to assign them.
At the present rate of increase the
situation will be embarrassing unless
proper steps are taken to relieve the
overflow.
The assessed valuation upon which
the board must make it's estimates is
81, 101. 900. Under the late law the
district may increase its bonded in
debtedness over S25, 600.
With s25, 900 the board will be en-
abled to enclose and sufficiently equip
the Lincoln building to meet the need
for another year.
AS the Lincoln building now stands it
is less than one third completed as
originally planned The west wing be-
ing finished for occupancy.
In February 1909 the four rooms of
this wing were opened to receive
pupils. At present these rooms and
those of the Central building are as
badly overcrowded as were those of the
Central last year. This marks the
steady growth of Delta.
1t is hoped that immediate steps will
be taken that the children of today
will not suffer. PHILIP NJ. CoNDrT.

A number of state papers have
published the INDEPENDENT
article: "Should Country News
papers Be Taxed?" No, they
should not; at least while they
remain the struggling institutions
they are today, and particularly
not, if school and church proper
ties are exempt. The newspaper
is as much an educational insti-
tuition as a school. There is no
other text book possible on cur
rent events. No property is taxed
to support it, yet it gives more
of its time and space and money
to the public than any other in
stitution or than any ten aver
age prosperous citizens of the
community contribute.

DenOer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Feb
9-Receipts of cattle were fair here
last week but not heavy. The effect
of the SO called meat boycott has
passed and under good demand the
market was higher from day to day
until Thursday when values We're prac-
tically back to where they were before
the break. On Friday eastern markets
reported big run and sharply lower
prices and the market eased off here
10 to 15c. Saturday trade was firm
again and the market closed the week
big quarter higher than proceeding

choice steers sold at S5 90 to So. 10 and

An organization has been
formed at Delta to help Delta's
poor" Good Lord, what has be-
come of all that money for that
immense fruit crop and all those
gobs of prosperity that have
been hitting the Debates between
the eyes for several months past
Will the Tribune explain this
apparent discrepancy in condi-
tions?-Lake City Times" The
above is unkind. The Times
man underestimates Delta. The
money for the big crops isn't all
gone yet! Besides there are
always the unfortunate. We
haven't been advised of any par
ticular cases, but every city is
supposed to number them among
it's inhabitants. Some are wor-
thy and some are lazy. Still
charity spasms are good thing
even in prosperous times. Let

right hand is doing particular

Census Notes.

The office of Supervisor of Census in
Delta is busy this week grading papers
OF the 300 or more applicants for
enumerator's positions in the different
counties of this district.
On Saturday Supervisor Baird held

tion, where about forty applicants pre-
sented papers. There will be about ITO
enumerators in the district, and for
these positions there are about 300
applicants. The taking of the census

This paper, though Republi-
can, would hardly object to a
change of national administra-
ton. The period of prosperity
has been so long and so great
that the evils growing out of un-
limited success are apparent on
all sides. These prosperous con-
ditions need check, and, if his
tory can be depended upon to re-
peat itself, Democratic admin
istration would put on the rough
lock.

Watch out for the weed seeds in
clever and alfalfa.
Red and alsike clover make good
mixture-half and half.
Feed the trees in the orchard.
Ground bone and muriate Of potash
are good.
Better results are obtained in feed
ing cattle where alfalfa is mixed with
corn stover.
The average market hog should
weigh about 800 pounds at eight
months of age.
Aphids or plant lice can be easily

In pruning trees make your cuts
loose to the trunks or branches. and

If you have not manure spreader,

prove almost as good as the use of

Never use an ak to prune with. Use
saw or pruning shears and take the
limbs and branches off close to the
tree SO that the tree in time will cover
the wound with bark and thus pre-
vent rotting.

STUFF HE'S MADE OF.

Consider youth void of knowledge.
Feed him and he will hunger again;
clothe him as prince and ere long he
will be in pauper's rags; place him in
dominion and his clownish ways will
betray him. But fan the intellectual
spark that may yet remain in him until
it begins to glow; nourish carefully the
flame with gradual increment of fuel:
ward off the destructive blasts of doubt
indifference and despair that would fain
quench the Pickering light; fix once and
forever the desire to know, and you
have made him master of himself. I'm
plant in him an ideal that will be ever
before him as guide to higher attain
ments; set going in him the power to
think. and you have placed him on the
roll of the worlds worthless: for the
thinkers are they that have blessed the
world. j. Doyne. President Ar
kansas State Normal.
