GERMANY WILL SEND A
MILITARY BOARD TO PEKIN

Berlin, Oct. l1.-Whatever may be
the case in the Balkans, it is proba-
BILE that the immediate future will
see Germany display increased inter-
est in events in the far east. 1t is
understood that the question of great
er intimacy between her and China
has recently been discussed here, and
the first definite steps toward it will
very likely be the dispatch of Ger
man military commission to Pekin to
assist in the reorganization of the
Chinese army.
Mention has also been made of the
possibility of an understanding be-
tween Germany, the United States
and China. At the present moment,
however, the temperature of the re-
lations between the two countries
first named seems more likely to go
down than up. The heads of all the
great American fertilizer companies
are now in Europe for the express
purpose OF securing modification of
the potash-monopoly law passed by
the reichstag last session. That meas
ure was aimed directly against the
United States and annulled the con-
tracts entered into by the American
buyers to the amount of many mill
ions of dollars.
The German government declares
its inability to recede from the posi-
tion it has taken up; but 1t is report
ed that, should the law remain as it
is, the United States will probably
treat 1t as unfair discrimination and
retailiate by applying its convention
al tariff to German imports.

FOR THE
POULTRY SHOW

The Grand Valley Poultry associa-
ton is formulating extensive plans
for the poultry show this year. At a
recent business meeting a committee
was appointed to secure a suitable
| building In which to hold the show
and efforts viii be made to make the
1911 show more successful and more
extensive than was the most success
full event of last year
In the Grand valley are fanciers
and pet poultry breeders who have
specimens which will make a credita-
BILE appearance in any show regard
less of the size or the territory in
cluded and as was the case last year
exhibitors are expected from every
section of the country.
Prizes and premiums which cannot
be disdained by any large grower
will be offered and the competition
will be keen for the awards.
From California, Michigan and, in
fact, from states at random from one
part of the country to the other, ex-
hibitions were sent last year and
some of the most valuable birds in
existance were represented here rang
ing in value up to $4,000 which was
the price at which the most expensive
bird shown in Grand Junction last
year, was valued.
Almost every variety of breed, to-
gether with the eggs and side branch
es of the fancy poultry business, were
to be seen here and the ranking of
the Grand Junction show was equal
to those of any show in the country
The directors of the association
feel that the coming show will be
equal in every respect to that OF last
year and earnestly expect to make it
even better.
The date which was selected is
from Christmas to New Years and no
better or more convenient time could
be chosen as the city will be thronged
with shoppers and aside from the
merchants there is no particular class
which is exceptionally busy.
The show is good advertisement
for the valley and the public at large
should cooperate to make 1t a sue
cess.

KILLING OUTCAST DOGS.

London, Oct. 11.-Better news is
to hand from the Island of Okla, off
Constantinople; where the pariah
dogs cleared from the streets of the
Turkish capital were exiled to die
from starvation and disease The
British ambassador. Sir Gerard Low
ther. writes to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
that the wretched animals are now
being mercifully destroyed by poison
and are rapidly disappearing. Pass
Ing the island in boat. an observer
could not see single dog on it. Thus,
the Turks seem to have overcome
their inhuman religious scruples
against taking the lives of animals.
1t was this alone that prevented the
dogs being cleared from the streets
the shortest way-death-and de-
creed they should perish miserably
on desert Island.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY
ON MOUNT OF OLIVES

London, Oct. ll.-From Jerusalem
comes news of an interesting discov-
cry on the Mount of Olives. Remains
of an extremely ancient Christian
church have been unearthed during
excavations in the ground of the
Convent of Pater Noster on the sum-
NIT of the mount! The ruins are be-
lieved to be those of the church built
by st. Helen, mother of the Emperor
Constantine, who erected two other
churches in the Holy Land-the
Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem
and the Church of the Holy Sepul-
cher.
Two separate floors of mosaic were
found, one lying two feet six inches
below the other. The lower one is
believed to belong to st. Helena S
church dating from A. D. $50. and
the upper one to a restoration built
by the Crusaders. Several tombs
were also found among the ruins, one
bearing a legible Greek inscription,
"Theodorus."
1t is believed that the site of the
church marks the traditional spot
whence Christ preached the sermon
on the mount.

STRIKE IS UNEXPECTED
[By Associated Press. !

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE employees of
the Northern railroad went on strike
early today and by II am. the tie-up
of the system was practically com
plete.
Military engineers have been called
to replace the strikers, but their num-
Der is inadequate.
Several acts of violence occurred
before daybreak. At ST Quentin the
tracks were torn up. Locomotives
were collided at Terginer, the wreck
ebstructing the main track.
The strike developed over night,
and took the company and the public
by surprise.
The strikers threaten to draw to
their support the employees of the
state railroad lines
Inquiries on lines other than the
Northern have developed decided
strike sentiment. These men declare
that they only await orders to cease
work.
In the forenoon all sections on the
Northern were taken possession of by
troops and police. No disturbances
were reported.

Colorado Fuel & Iron company, en-

The condition of the bodies indicate
the men were instantly killed by the

Several of the bodies were badly

BURNETT CASE
BEFORE A JURY

The attention of the district cLurt
has been consumed most of the day
in the suit of Fred Fields against
Harry Burnett, proprietor of the St
Regis hotel on the charge of false
arrest, in which Fields asks damages
II was alleged that Fields came
over here from Denver to act as dish
washer in the St. Regis, but that he
found the job misrepresented to him
and had to do too many other things
besides his regular duties He said
that he quit couple of days later
but was met on the street by Mr..
Burnett who conducted him to the
police station and had him locked up
because an overcoat was missing from
the hotel at the same time that Fields
quit. A search of Fields grip failed
to show any stolen property.
When the matter was taken up
with the district attorney the latter
decided that the expenses of bringing
witnesses from Denver would be out
of proportion to the charge and
Fields was released.
Mr.. Burnett testified that the fell
low was worthless around the place
and would not do the regular work
assigned him. He also claimed that
Field did not intend to work but
came this far at Mr.. Burnett's ex-
pense so that he might go on to Salt
Lake City.
Attorney Bullock represented the
plaintiff and Attorney S. n. Wheeler
acted for the defense
The case went to the jury during
the afternoon.

twenty-three of the ninety largest
cities in the country spend a greater
percentage for schools every year.
But we must not overlook the fact
that the board didn't get S71s per
cent Of the current revenues. The
boards estimates amounted to total
of s., 677,72l The Commissioners cut
them to s3,Oll geo, and Congress cut
them TO s2,39S, AGO. The latter sum is
what the board received.
Now, it is interesting to inquire
what percentage this is Of the total
appropriations for public purposes for
the current year. The budget amounts
TO slOs527, O45; the portion used for
schools, therefore, is 22.7 per cent, a
figure that must be recognized as 100
low when the custom of other cities
and the needs of the District are con
sidered.
In eighty Of the ninety largest cities
Of the country the amount spent for
schools is more than 22-7 per cent OF
the expenditures for all public pur-
poses, according to the reports of the
Census Bureau
Undoubtedly there are many good
reasons fer the Commissioners and the
President to favor a change in school
management, but the fact that the
Ro%rd Of Education asked for appro-
priations for the current year equal
TO three-fourths Of the revenue local
IL collected Is not one Of them.
