art of irrigation in this Countrywide
Pueblo tribe. These Indians inhabited
portions of the states of New Mexico
and Arizona, as well as Southern Col
orado. Their descendants were still
cultlvating the land and practicing
irrigation when the Spanish came to
these parts centuries ago. Traces of
the work of this tribe are still to be
found in the great southwest, and the
marvel of modern engineering is the
precision with which they constructed

Country Club openino Friday.

On Friday, April %, the Country club
grounds will, provided that the wealth
er permits, be turned into a great play.
ground where large number of club
members and their friends will enjoy
the day with games of all description.
The reason for this celebration is
that next Friday is opening day at
the Country club and already the
amusement committee is picking out
the expert golfists, tennis players and
other athletes OF the club to partici-
pate in the many contests which will
be played on that day. A baseball
team will soon be organized and fans
who make up the clubs membership
will be among the star players. Not
only will outdoor games be resorted
to. When dusk has settled over the
Northfork, strains from an orchestra
inside the clubhouse will furnish the
music to those who enjoy dancing.
There are also fishermen among the
members of the club who will prob
ably be delighted with the news that
many fish have been caught near the
club grounds and that expert fisher.
men say many more abound these wat
erS. This news and the report that
a fishing contest will also play pTomi-
nent part in the contests scheduled
for Friday will no doubt be of good
cheer to those who are lovers of the
rod and reel.
Each member of the club will re-
ceive notice of the opening day from
the amusement committee in the near
future which allows them to invite
an entire family of friends to help
make the day a successful one.

New York Legislature Has More Anti
RACING Bills.

New York, April 23.-Racing men
from all parts of New York state mar
shaded their forces for an attack on
Albany today. At the state capital
was scheduled hearing before SEN
ate committee on the Agnew-Perkins
bills, designed to complete the work
of last years legislation in doing away
with gambling at race tracks. Racing
men insist that the passage of this
further legislation will mean the
stamping out of racing.
A large delegation of New York city
turfmen and sympathizers, which jour
neyed Albany-ward early in the day,
carried a number of amendments to
the measure which they were prepared
to submit with a view to making the
bill less sweeping; so as to direct the
legislation against the professional
bookmaker rather than against the in
dividual bettor. The New York dele.
cation included accredited representa-
tives from the automobile manufac-
turers, the hotel men, the wine i'm
porters and the breeders. All the
metropolitan racing associations were
will represented.

A BUTTERlNE DECISION.
Certain Colorings Can be Used and
Not be Called Artificial.

Chicago, April pa decision by
Commissioner of Internal Revenue +
r. Cabell made known through Col
onel c. II. Ingram, internal revenue
agent in Chicago, will have a wide
effect on the butter and oleOmargerine
throughout the United States. Ger
tain materials such as peanut and
mustard oils, now being used to color
oleomargerine, according to the COM
missioners ruling, if used in quaint
ties sufficient to make them a CON
stituent part of the product, cannot be
considered as producing artificial
coloration and therefore cannot be
subject to the government tax of ten
cents a pound. 1t is not improbable
that Mr.. Cabell's ruling will result in
the complete abolition of "moonshin-
ing" in the coloring of oleomargerine
and the government may have to be
satisfied with one quarter of cent
pound tax on much of the colored pro
ducts.

ARE BOYS SETTING FIRES?
Chief Of Police Thinks Not-But the
Rumor Is Afloat.

Chief Of Police Thinks Not-But the
Rumor Is Afloat.
Are boys deliberately setting fires in
Norfolk?
Chief of Police Marquardt thinks
not. But the fourteen fires that have
come to town in the past three and
half weeks have set rumor aloat
that some of these fires are traceable
to mischievous youths. 1t is known to
a certainty that the blaze in the shed
at the w. S. Fox house on South Tenth
street Wednesday night which was
discovered in time to be put out by
neighbors, was started by boys.
Fortunately none of the fires have
been very serious, but the high winds
with the dry condition of things in
general has placed the town in peril
and if boys were found to be setting
fires there's no doubt that public SEN
timent would demand the limit of the
law for punishment.
Some three or four years ago band
of Norfolk youths confessed to having
started a number of fires, but never
in so short a time have there been so
many fire alarms as during the past
three weeks and half.
