LORDLY FORMALITIES.
Preparing New Peer For Ills Seat Ir
House of Lords

Preparing a New Peer For Ills Seat In
House of Lords.
Numerous formaiities have to be
gone through before any new peer is
entitled to take his seat in the house
of lords.
One of the most important matters
is the preparation OF the patent. long
strip of parchment TO the end of
which Is affixed the wax seal, the color
Of which varies. according to the rank
Of the new member Another item is
the robe. made Of scarlet cloth with
three doublines Of ermine. the number
OF bars varying according to rank.
Thus q duke has four bars in front
and the same number behind. mar
quis one less. and 50 on.
Then there are preparations in re-
gard to making or changing coats of
arms. in connection with which fees to
the extent of about 90 Suineas are paid
by the recipient of a summons to the
house of lords.
Altogether the financial disburse-
ments amount in the case of new
earl to between 5000 and ETO0. some
of which finds its way to the chancel-
Tor of the exchequer and some to the
crown as represented by the college
of arms. a considerable portion of
this expenditure is, of course. incurred

LIFE CRUSHED OUT BY TRAIN.

His life crushed out while trying TO
board a Colorado Midland freight train
is the fate which befel Victor Tarvo, a
big Finlander about 50 years of age,
good hearted and clever fellow Wednes-
day afternoon at Silt.
The fellow had been drinking heav-
lily and while so drunk that he could
scarcely walk he staggered down to the
depot just as freight train pulled up
to the station and made an effort to
board one of the freight cars.
He slipped and fell beneath the wheels
and was badly mangled and bruised
the right leg being almost stripped of
the flesh, the bone broken in two
places, the left leg broken, the left
arm broken at the elbow while the neck
wes broken. Death was instantaneous
Nothing can be learned as to the fell
lows relatives except that working
partner says he thinks Tarvo had
family in Finland. but he can give no
address. A small sum of money AMI
some small account books were found
among the mans clothing. The body
was brought to Glenwood Wednesday
evening by Mortican Farnum and pre-
pared for burial, but the funeral will
be deferred for a few days in the hope
of finding some relative.
Tarvo worked for several months at
Shoshone and for the past few weeks
has worked for the Herwicks on the
Cactus Valley ditch at Silt. Mr.. Her
wick says the fellow was an accommo-
dating, good-natured man and splen-
did workman when sober, but his pen
chant for booze had caused him a great
deal of trouble and finally ended in his
death.

FRUIT LOSSES
HEAVY IN SPOTS

The Post is not informed as to the
complete extent of loss to the fruit crop
from the frost of last Monday night and
Tuesday morning but sufficient is
known to convince the most optimistic
that in some sections at least the dam
age is very great.
From what can be learned as to other
sections and from what seem to be
reliable sources it appears that there
has been but little damage done or, as
some have put it. only about as much
fruit has been lost as would be plucke1
off and thrown away in the thinning,
while between here and New Castle
the loss seems to have been unusually
severe.
Although A. S. Tibbetts resorted to
the free use of smudge pots he was only
able to save his cherries on the lower
limbs of the trees, the fruit on the
higher branches being almost a total
loss. Bert Tibbctts lost his entire crop
of strawberries and he says even the
new growth on the raspberry canes
and peach trees was killed.
Wednesday and when questioned oa
the subject he said: cit was positive
ly the worst | have ever seen in M
twenty-seven years residence in the
Grand valley and in fact the only com
pete fruit failure l have seen in the
valley in all that time and this is com
pete and no mistake. Why, even the
oak brush and the leaves on the ash
trees turned black Tuesday morning As
soon as the sun came out and as for
potatoes they were not only killed
above the ground but they were actual
ly killed down below the surface by
the freeze. But when tne boys com
planned l told them they had no license
to feel discouraged as it is the only
real failure in quarter of a century
and ! advised them to charge it up %
Halley's comet and 60 on smiling
At Grand Valley the bottom lands
seem to have Jared better than the
mesas, which is just the reverse of the
usual results. Reports from the Ko.h
and Brennan ranches state that the
fruit is but slightly damaged, while
on the mesa the loss is said to be at
least fifty per cent. In the Rifle couu-
try, according to the Reveille, the loss
is fifty per cent. while some of the
farmers in the Silt district claim that
the frost did little worse than thin the
fruit for them.
In Glenwood apple and cherry trees
are still bearing their fruit as though

Pheasants are fond of grasshopper
eggs, especially those of the locust, that
deposit their eggs in the earth in dry
places, and also larvae of any insect
that may be found there. Pheasants in
captivity have been known to dig up
light ground, where there were many
larvae, so that they dug under the
fence four inches in the ground. On
examination this ground was found to
contain insect eggs and larvae of in-

its greatest vegetable de1icacies. He
eats but comparatively few buds from
bushes and trees, excepting in severe
winters. In this way he is quite dif-
ferent from the, grouse. OF the grasses
he has liking for white and red clover,
alfalfa and red and yellow sorrel but
when there are plenty of dandelions and
buttercups he will make those his prir
cipal vegetable diet.
In the winter time pheasants can be
seen turning over forest leaves and ex-
amining them and picking off the larvae
of different tree insects deposited on
the under side of the leaves; also pick
ing over the top soil around bushes and
trees for the bugs and larvae.
Along the streams and wet grounds
the pheasant finds many snails and
crustations for food. The pheasant be
ing terrestrial, it eats mostly from
the ground or within twelve inches of
same when food is abundant, and sell
dom eats grain, such ,.s wheat, oats and
barley, until late in the season, after
it has been harvested and threshed,
when insect life is scarce. 1t cleans
up the grain stubble fields, being es-
pecialy fond of buckwheat, millet and
