IN MAKING a very weak defense

IN MAKING a very weak defensa
of the Glenwood town board and their
reason for not taking legal steps to
secure the local water works, Attorney
John A Rush plays the baby act by
eaiming that the people have no con
fdence in the courts. If that be true.
how does Rush, the Growler. explain
the action of B. 7. Napier who when
he began grooming himself for the
state senate a few years ago. started
suit in the district court at Red Clif
to prevent the Glenwood Light and
Water company from acquiring de
cree to water which they had spent
thousands of dollars to develop, and
use? Did Napier start that suit in tie
interests of the dear 'peepul be
cause he loved them and wanted to
do something of philanthropic char
acter or did he start it as n boom to
his senatorial ambitions And if he
had no confidence in the courts why
did he start it at all Back up. John,

times when politics and justice do not

PAPER FILES TOO VALUABLE

a decision of no little interest 70
newspaper publishers has been handed
down in New Orleans by the civil dis
trict court It is to the effect that the
files of a newspaper are its private
property and it cannot be compelle
to produce them in a courtroom.
The decision came of an action iu
stituted by two lawyers who wanted
by court order to have the New Or
leans Item bring its files to the court
to be used as evidence in case.
The Item proceeded to show tn:
court that there was much danger in
volved in the operation of moving the
files to and from its office as they
were worth many thousands of dollars
and the least slip might destroy them
also the additional expense on its part
in employing man to watch over
them in the court. On these points
the publishers won ont.

tce. as has all newspapers. to permit
parties interested in suits where ques
tons of publication are involved t.

RAILROAD WILL LOSE
MILLIONS UNDER RULING

Portland, Ore, April 24.-Federal
District Judge Charles f. Wolverton
decided today that the Southern Pa
cifc and the Oregon & California rail
way companies must forfeit to the
United States about 23.4O0,OOO acres of
land which is valued at $4Oo0o,0OO to
s75,oOO,oOo.
Interpreting the act of congress
granting the land as an aid to railway
construction, the court held that con,
gress intended this land should be sold
to bona fide settlers in tracts not great
er than $50 acres to one individual,
and at a price not exceeding $3.50 an
acre. Every contention raised by the
railway company has been defeated in
its fight with the government.
If this decision be sustained by the
United States supreme court, the land
will revert to the government.
While deciding in favor of the gov
ernment, Judge Wolverton decided
against the several thousand interven-
ors in the case. He held that they
had acquired no right whatever, either
by settling on the land or by tender
ing the maximum sum per claim speci-
fed by law.
The effect of this portion of the de
cision is that the grant lands cannot
be procured by any individual until
the president or congress again opens
them to entry or fling. The 67 entry
men who had gone upon the land as
settlers before the suits of the goverl
ment were commenced also lose their
claims, and are held to have gained no

this seems quite singular as this fruit
is generally supposed to be the most

it is generally conceded that there has
been but slight damage to apples. pears

the farmers will be obliged to DO the
usual thinning. Altogether the pros

advantage whatever by their period of
settlement.
More than 5000 intervenors have
filed applications TO get portion Of
the land. but their supposed rights are
brushed aside, leaving the entire tract
open to disposition by congress, as If
it had never been offered to the rail
way interests as a grant.
In brief. the question raised by the
Southern Pacific company was whether
the federal congress, by subsequent
act. had the power to make said subse
quent act precedent to the rights con
ferred in an original grant.
The present suit was instituted in
1908 by Attorney General Bonaparte,
following a memorial by the Oregon
legislature to congress that the Soutl-
ern Pacific company successor to the
Oregon & California Railway company,
had forfeited its rights to a grant of
land in Oregon and Washington, which
provided that such grant should be
sold to bona fde settlers in tracts not
to exceed 100 acres and at price not
to exceed $3.50 per acre.
The company was said to have vio-
lated the provisions of the grant by
refusing TO sell the land as provided in
the grant. The case dragged through
the last three years, though the dc
murrer which was decided today was
filed shortly after the suit y@Nle gov
| ernment was instituted

APPLE CONGRESS AND
EXPOSITION FOR DENVER

A plan is being worked upon that
Will bring the next session Of The
American Apple Congress to Denver to
he held in connection with a National
Apple Exposition. The dates most ia
vored for the holding of this great
combined fee is the week of November
6 to u. Under the proposed plan an
exposition association will be organized
with a capital of $4,000 Both the
congress and the exposition association
are to be incorporated under the laws
of the state of Colorado.
Invitations have been received by the
congress from several large cit to
have the next meeting held with them
Almost all these have backed up

to be the only city that is willing 20
take hold of the proposition and see
it through One apple show. held in
Denver, was an entire success. While
there was small loss, the benefits TO
the city and the apple industry were of
untold value.
The Exposition association will be
organized by prominent Denver people
and fruit growers. A contract will be
entered into by the Apple Congress
and the Exposition association whereby
mutual benefits will be derived and 4
most profitable arrangement perfected.
The plan has the approval of all VINO
have been consulted in the matter by
Clinton L. Oliver, secretary of the con
gress, and the entire details viii soon
be made public.
The season has now arrived when the
apple crop conditions are considered
settled and the apple growers are anx-
ious to demonstrate what their various
sections can produce A show such as
is proposed will be wonderful drawing
card for growers and dealers and as no
show is more beautiful than an apple
show, the attendance in city like
Denver where one show has been held
and the people got a taste of it, will
be assured.

LET US HOPE that Colonel Smith
will not relax his warfare against the
dog nuisance and that people who per-
sist in keeping dogs whose only use
seems to be to ruin their neighbors
lawns and frighten women and children
will at least be made to contribute q
slight amount toward the town finances
in the way of a tax. And, by the way,
Colonel, can't you include the cats in
your plan of destruction or taxation?
This is not country infested by re-
dents and about the only use there is
for a cat in this town is to give some
old maid mighty poor imitation of
companionship which ought to have
been satisfied otherwise, or furnishing
plaything for some housewife who
if she had been diligent in replenish-
ing the earth with her species, would
have neither time nor affections to
waste on the feline tribe. Keep after
the dogs, Colonel, but please stop long
enough occasionally to take a shot at
the old maids foot warmers.

CONTRACTS HAVE been lgbe

CONTRACTS HAVE been literally
peddled around Glenwood the past few
days in which our people are asked to
guarantee to take from the mythical
Mutual Light, Heat and Power com
pany all the electrical energy they will
need for the next five years. 1t might
surprise you to know how ''easy"
some people are and yet there should
be no surprise in view of what has
happened in Glenwood in the last few
years. If some one would come along
selling stock in perpetual motion
scheme or a railroad to Mars he ought
to do well in Glenwood. Some one has
said there is sucker born every min
ute, but lot of our people have DEM
onstrated that they are not half so gul
lible as the contract peddlers took
them to be. Some of them have even
grown inquisitive and insisted on
knowing who constitutes this mythical
and intangible company and when they
failed to secure the desired informa-
ton they declined to consider the mat.
ter further.

IF JUDGE LEWIS had lived in
Glenwood Springs during the past four
years he could not better have de
scribed the actual conditions than IN
his words delivered from the bench
last Tuesday. 1t was hard jolt to
the peanut politicians who worked
themselves into Office through preju-
dice and who by levying tribuate on
the people have gone from bad to worse
until they richly deserved this scath-
ing denunciation. If there were any
honesty in these people and they ac-
tually believed that the town should
own and operate its own water sys-
tenn, they would have gone about it in
a legal manner, but that would not be
politics. No chance there to appeal to
ignorance and prejudice. Is it not
about time for the people who have
been duped to give little thought 20
these things.

LIE THERE IS any virtue

mulching process as a preventive OF
