DEFENCE OF AGED EGGS
Cold Storage Kind Better than
Fresh-Sometimes.

Boston, oct. 28-That cold storage OF
many kinds of produce is absolutely neces-
sary TO protect consumers from abnormal
prices and absolute lack of food in short
seasons, was the contention made before
the special commission investigating the
subject at the State House Several Bos-
ton produce merchants supported this view,
while no one was present to attack il.
Arthur T. Cummins, chairman of the
legislative committee Of the Fruit and Prod
uce Exchange, said there was no need
Of legislation TO regulate the period dur
ing which fruit and vegetables might be
kept in cold storage, because they could
not be carried over from one season TO
another. He estimated that the average
storage OF apples was not more than five
months, while of vegetables IT was even
less.
Alfred p. Lee, vice-presideut of the
Fruit and Produce Exchange, declared that
fresh egg put in cold storage in first
class condition in April would, IL taken
out in August, be a better egg than one
freshly laid in that month. He said April
eggs were being sold in Boston at from %
to % cents a dozen, while, If II were not
for the cold storage system, il would be
impossible to buy any for less than 60 to
70 cents
Mr. Lee opposed adoption by this state
Of the New York law limiting the time
during which goods may be kept in cold
storage, but said II any such Limitation
was TO be made It should not be less than
for year. because April eggs are re-
quired always as late as February. and TO
require them to be taken out earlier than
that would result In serious shortage and
very high prices in February and March.
l.. y. Thomas. a wholesale dealer in
butter, said it did not injure butter. as
1t did eggs, TO Restore it, because butter
was kept al temperature below zero,
where deterioration was practically i'm
possible

WESTERN SLOPE WANTS
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Growth in Population May Make it
fossibie.-Matter Now Being
Agitated.

r With Colorados growth and its
added Congressman, it will become
necessary to re-district the state.
Under the new procedure there
will be no ngressman-at-large
Western slope people want a con-
gressional district as nearly as pos
sible all their own. In order to get
the population necessary-2O0, 900
it will perhaps be necessary to take
in county or two outside of what
is known as the Western Slope, but
it would still mean a Western Slope
Congressional district and a Western
Slope representative in Congress.
This matter is already being agi-
tated and Governor Shafroth is said
to favor sub re-districting OF the
state
This would give one Representa-
tive in Congress to the northern
section of the state, one to the
Denver district, one TO the Pueblo
and Colorado Springs district, and
one to the Western Slope.
Such an arrangement seems but
fair and just.

Election of [. 5. Senator.

From all indications the selec-
ton of United States Senator from
Colorado is not gong to prove an
easy matter or one which can be
quickly accomplished.
1t is announced that the first vote
on senator will be taken next Tues
da, January oath.
1t requires 3 votes to elect. There
are 66 Democrats, of whom there
are 1s platform Democrats. who, it
is said, have entered into an agree
ment not to vote for senator until
the platform pledges have been re-
deemed With these the Republi-
cans can block election, while either
of the opposing factions in the Dem
ocratic ranks fighting for the toga
can also block the election OF
senator indefinitely, or as long as
they choose to do so.
This is likely TO lead to dead
lock which may last through the en-
tire session All of which is far
from pleasing to the people, who
mast pay the bills, and just be-
cause they are denied their natural
right of electing a United States SEN
ator in the same manner they elect
other public servants.

DELTA COLORADO. FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 9ll
Lillylands Company Sues
McEadden and Woods

Probably the largest suit filed in
receive by District Court Clerk S.
V. Hobaugh on Tuesday afternoon.
the action is entitled the Lilly
lands Canal and Reservoir company
VS.. /. ID. McFadden, c. A. Wood and
Lucy F. Wood, and is for a judge
ment of s66,225.05, or the impris-
onment of the defendants.
II will be noted that this reverses
the character of litigation between
the above paries. Heretofore the suit
were brought by McFadden and the
Woods against the Lillylands Co.
In its petition the plaintiff COM
pany set out the assertion that it is
Il corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the state of Colo
rado. as a ditch and reservoir COM
pany doing business in Montrose and
San Miguel counties, having been
ere ated and organized about March
n capital stock of 100000, divided
into 100000 shares.
That Immediately upon the or
ganization as above the defendants,
as the sole officers and directors of
the company themselves set about to
cheat and defraud the plaintiff com
pany through conspiracy, and to
take to themselves the money de-
rived from the stock sales. and
with such fraudulent intent pro
ceeded to sell and issue to them
selves ninety shares OF capital stock,
thirty shares TO each at the par val
ue of Sl.OO each, and thereafter
did unlawfully and illegally and in
fraud OF the rights of plaintff COM
pany, cause to be issued to the de-
fendant, c. A. Wood, all of the re
naming 99,910 shares of the capi-
tai stock of the company. without
adequate or sufficient considerations.
or any consideration whatever, con-
trary to the laws and constitution
OF the state of Colorado.
The said defendants also pro-
tttutu W sen ulSPoct oi Gaih
stock of plaintiff company as their
personal stock. and did convert the
proceeds of said stock sales TO their
own uses and benefit. and ever since
have and do still refuse TO account
for or turn over the proceeds of
the same to the company. except a
very small portion which is set forth
in the petition.
Wherefore the plaintiff prays for
for the sum of sec ,222. .05
toether with interest thereon from
July 1st. 1909 at the rate of S per
cent per anum, and that the plain
tiff have execution against the body
of said defendants and each of them,
and that he said defendants and
each of them be imprisoned for
term of not exceeding one year. or
until the said judgement is paid.
The case will come up for trial
at the next term of the district court.

f.scalante Ditch Company
Has Receiver Appointed,

District Judge Sprigg Shackelford
yesterday appointed II. II. Austin
as receiver for the entire Escalante
Ditch and Reservoir Co.. despite
the requests of the stockholders of
the company. who are alleged to
have been defrauded by an irriga-
tion and land filing scheme. in Del
ia county, to have Hickman Walker
appointed.
From the pleadings on the file in
the case, it is made to appear that
all three corporations include pre-
cisely the same project and that,
while the original plan involved an
estimated outlay of only $4,000, the
Escalante Ditch and Reservoir COM
pany increased its capital stock to
$4,000, the Roubideaux-Red edlands
corporation. was capitalized at $780,
900. while the Sam Farmer Esca-
lante corporation was originally in
corporated at 100000. but later
reduced its capital stock to $780,
600.

Glycerine Going Up
With the Panama Locks.

The Panama canal is said to be
mainly responsible for an increase
of fifty per cent in the price of glycer-
inc by United States Consul Albert
Halsted, at Birmingham. England.
In the last eighteen months the price
has been gradually advanced until
it reached se2SS ton, the highest
price ever recorded This is re-
ported 20 be due to the scarcity OF
fats and oils from which glycerine
is made as a bi-product in the manu-
facture of soap. and the increased
demand for glycerine for the manu-
facture of explosives. The great
quantity of explosives required in the
building of the Panama canal are
partly responsible for the advance.
