PICK BIRD GUARDS.
Brave Band Of Wardens VIII Watch
Poachers.

To guard the lives and homes OF
millions Of water birds about the
whole continent. a force Of some
sixty wardens IS being organized
at the headquarters of the National
Association Of Audubon Societies
in New York City. Over the wild
areas of many of the ffty-two
National bird reservations that
stretch alongt the Pacific and Allan
tic coasts, the Gulf OF Mexico and
the big inland lakes these men are
soon to take up their lonely partrol
to protect and care for their feath-
cred charges. Recent reports from
these reserves, and other bird col
onies that the Audubon workers
have secured to ward off the threat
ened extinction Of various species
Of water birds, show that this wear
special vigilance will be required to
defend the hocks thas nest there
from wholesale destruction at the
hands OF professional poachers.
For into the cypress swamps Of
Florida, Louisiana and the Caro-.
linas, where a few colonies, of white
heron still survive the slaughter Tor
the millinery market that has
already driven them from the upper
regions ofthis country, it is planned
this year to send an auxiliary force
Of wardens. Although state laws
forbid the killing of these most
beautiful of birds, word has lust

BURNED TO AZ

Yankton, S. D.-Wednesday night

a few years younger, were burned to
death in their home here. Neigh
bors found the house in full flames

after the house had burned down,
when the long hooks of the firemen
found the charred remains in a glow
ting heap Of live Goals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson lived alone
on the edge Of town and used to run
a small dairy. A few years ago a
son Of theirs was found drowned in
the river here. Nothing, 10 known Of

%LAF0LLtT1E
1912 CANDIDATE
BROOKLYN PAPER PRINTS STORY
THAT WISCONSIN MAN IS AL
READY LAYING HIS PLANS
FOR PRESIDENCY.

Washington, d. C.-The Brooklyn
Eagle today prints a dispatch from
Washington, which says:
President Taft has been inform
ed that there will be a third ticket in
the field in the event of the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Taft by the Republicans
IN 1912 and of Governor Harmon by
the Democrats The third ticket will
be headed by Robert Marion La Fol-
lette Of Wisconsin and will appeal to
the radical element in both parties.
"Credence is given to this report
at the White House. All the actions
Of Mr.. La Toilette for the last two
years have indicated that the presi-
Dental bee has been within singing
distance OF his head. He has main
tanned himself as the champion of
radical legislation, has kept aloof
from Mr.. Taft and has rejected all
the o%vertures made to bring him
within the regular fold.
"Another bit of interesting infor-
nation that has come to the White
House is that La Toilette not only
expects to be a presidential candidate
in 1912, but also in 1915. He ex-
poets to have merely a tryout in
1912, but he is represented as being
reasonably confident Of election in
1916.
1.-THE Wisconsin man is said to
have figured it out as follows: He
expects the Republicans to renomi-
nate Mr.. Taft and the Democrats to
select Governor Harmon in 1912.
Immediately he will proclaim him
self the candidate Of a third party.
He is banking on the active support
Of William J.. Bryan.
1.-THE two men have long been per-
sonal friends and Bryan has thrown
his support to La Toilette in more
than one political fight in Wiscon-
sin. La Toilette also expects the
votes of the Roosevelt enthusiasts and
insurgents. He takes the view that
good proportion Of the Republican
Mr.. Taft will not be acceptable to
Republicans with advanced views on
public questions. Also he believes
that Judge Harmon can be success
fulls attacked as the friend Of cor
porations."

During the years strike the union
has been compelled to place mort

above this amount by the sale of the

sufficient to move the miners and
their families to other camps where
they will be given employment.
Violence is feared before the depar-
ture of the most radical Of the mem

several special officers have been
added to the force which has ben
maintained in the city since the
starting Of the trouble thirteen
months ago. Dynamiting and the

Threatened many times, but so far
there has been no violence. with the

The Delta independent. [volume] (Delta, Colo.) 1886-19??, 1911-08-25
DELTA WAS PROMISED NEW
DEPOT: WILL WE GET IT?
Our People Should Look Into This
Very Important Matter at
Once.

Some months ago it was hinted
by Montrose papers that the ID.
R. G. would build a new depot for
that city. Delta people called the
attention of the proper officials to
the matter and were assured that if
new station building should be
SO be given one.
Now ii is announced through the
same papers that plans have been
accepted for the new building at
Montrose: that a message from
Denver announced the fact; that the
crop report sent in by Mcneil was
instrumental in securing a quick de
cision
With from quarter of million
up to 100000 a year paid to the
ID. & r. G. at Delta, according to
the business and crop yields, it
would look as though this place
should have a new depot also, and
that there should be no hesitancy
regarding its building.
That Delta is one of the heav-
lest shipping points of the Rio
Grande system there is no ques-
ton. 1t has a shack depot with a
small waiting room for both ladies
and gentlemen and little accommo-
dation for its freight business
Pending the arrival and departure
of trains. the platform surrounding
the small depot building is crowd
ed with standing people who have
no place else to go, after all the
seats in the dinky waiting room
have been occupied. The building
itself. an insignificant affair. is used
as offices for the freight and pas
senger departments. the express
and telegraph companies, to house
passengers, freight and express.
1t is probable that the railroad
would take up the matter if the at
tention of its proper heads was
called directly to the subject. But
otherwise 1t is likely to drag along
until that is done.
While the construction crews are
at work on the Montrose building
would be good time for Delta to
make her appeal, for work on a
new depot for Delta ought to be
begun at least by the time it shall
be completed on the one proposed
for Montrose.
Both stations are poorly supplied
and each is entitled to new de
pot building.
