LOCAL OPTION WINS
IN SUPREME COURT
Line May Be Changed and
Jointists Must Conform to
the New Conditions
RAILROADS MUST PAY

Denver, Feb. 6.-The supreme court
delivered body blow to the "wets'
and also to the railroads today.
In what is known as the Canon City
ease concerning the local option law
the court held that board of county
commissioners or city council can
change precinct boundary lines ard
the wet or dry question can again be
submitted at the next ensuing election.
The matter came up both from North
Longmont and Canon City. Longmont
as town went dry. The vets estab-
lished saloon just outside the city
limits. The county commissioners
changed the precinct boundary line
and put the saloon territory in a pre-
drys' Immediately petitioned for an
ether wet or dry election and it car
ried. The territory in which the sa
looms We're located had gone wet at
a preceding election. The wels
maintained that even though these pre-
cinct boundary lines were changed no
election could be held for two years
on the wet or dry question, because
the other election had put this particu
lar territory wet.
The'cou today held that the second
election was legal and that the ter
ritory must be controlled by the last
election, that the changes of the bound
airy line gave the people of the new
precinct the right to say whether they
wosya have wet or dry territory.
The same condition prevailed at
Canon City that prevailed at North
l.ongmont
The court also ruled that railroad
company can be held responsible for
the total value of goods lost irrespec-
tive of what the bill of lading reads.
unless the shipper is personally advised
by an agent as to the contents of the
bill of lading.
A shipper sent box of goods from
Denver to New York. The agent gave
him two rates. one first class and one
d lower class rate. The agent did not
explain to him that the lower rate was
made only where the goods were ship
ped at the owners risk. The goods
were lost and while the bill of ladine
specifically stated that not over $50
could be collected as damages, the
lower court gave the shipper 1852 and
the supreme court sustained it. The
court held that corporation had no
right to accept goods at low rate
unless it fully explained to the con
signer the conditions under which he
was shipping them. In other words the
burden of proof lay with the transpor-
tation company.

AMERICAN WASTE OF LIFE

When the federal government appro
fprin'cd large sums ro relieve such dis.
tress as was occasion d by the San
F,sncisco or the McsSlna disaster,
'H'ly one approved tH, action with ii
warm glow of the heart. Such aid
is in every way commendable, but 1t
is aid after the fact. How much better
it would be to appropriate money 20
prevent catastrophe. Earthquake, fire,
and floods cannot be predicted but
equally great visitations of evil-dis-
ease-can be prevented. Our statistics
prove that every day of the year there
Il number equal to the full crews of
two battleships. For the loss of one
such crew we went to war with Spain
Every three months as many lives are
sacrificed to those causes as there are
men in the United States army All
the dead in every war we have had
since 1916 only equal the yearly oil
made by disease and accident in >tlis
country.
Last year the entire population Of
indianapolis died of degenerative dis
eases. tuberculosis swept away every
man, woman and child in Patterson,
n. j. Pneumonia carried off all the
inhabitants of Wilmington, Del, and
every one in Yonkers was killed by an
accident. If these things really hap
pened the whole world would be
shocked and our government would stop
all other legislation to enact laws
looking to the prevention of such catas-
trophies in the future. But because
these diseases carry off their victims
not all in one place but in many places
over the country we do nothing about
it.
President Taft has had this matter
much at heart. He favors the pro-
posed department of health and he
is quoted as saying: "There is moth
ing in the constitution especially about
hogs, or cattle, or horses, and if ont
of the public treasury at Washington
we can establish department for
that purpose it does not seem long
step or stretch of logic to say that
we have the power to spend the money
in bureau of research to tell how we
can develop good men and women. -
Fear has been expressed that the es
tablishment of national health de-
partment will curtail individual liberty
but the department of agriculture has
helped, not hurt. the farmer, and thai
of commerce and labor has immeasura
bly, benefited the workingman and the
merchant.
We resented Kipling's poem on
"The American SPIRIT but there is
much truth in it. We are prodigal of
life in measure which amounts to
impiety. The waste must be stopped,
not by leaving it to the doctors but
by the establishment Of research bu-
reaus, the popular education of the
people in sanitary matters, and by .te
enforcement. when necessary, of laws
designed for protection of the public
against disease and accidents.-Clay' s
Review.

RIFLE MAKES

Young Farmer From Graham

aSpud Producer
WHO CAN BEAT THIS?

Rlfie challenges the country to equal
her proven production of potatoes from
a measured thirty seven and one half
| acres.
Sworn statements are on file to prove
that this area produced nearly 1000.
900 pounds of potatoes in 1910.
The total tonnage was 49l tons-or
one trainload of fifteen cars.
The average yield per acre was 22l
| sacks of 100 pounds each which aver
aged 20 cents per hundred on the mar
ket.
The average net profit per acre on
this thirty-seven and half acres
was $1l4.30.
This, in round numbers, would repre-
sent an earning power for each acre
of land of ten per cent on the land at
81, l4O per acre, or five per cent at
s2,2sO per acre.
picked acre, or two might have
doubled this ratio, but it is believed
that these figures, representing so large
an acreage, have no equal in the United
States.
Warren E. Wurts, whose farm is
known as the "Rifle Park Ranch
located one and one half miles north
east of the town of Rifle, is the young
man who brought this marvellous frui-
tion from the soil. Year before last
he succeeded in earning little over
$50 per acre from big crop and de-
termined that 1910 would violate the
speed limit.
Mr.. Wurts is-a young man-just past
the twenty five mark and, besides be-
ing swift at potato culture is an
all around athelete and champion foot
racer on the Western Slope. He il a

BLoAT OF CATTLE OR SHEEP
Disease 10 Excessive Accumulation Of
Gas In Paunch-Relief Afforded
by Trochar and Canula.

(By DIR. F. b. HADLEY. College Of Ag-
riculture. University of wisconsin,
From now until the close of the
pasturing season, cattle and sheep will
be subject to bloat and hoven. This
disease Is an excessive accumulation
of gas In the paunch, and Is usually
brought about by permitting animals
to pasture on clover or alfalfa which
is wet from either dew or rain. Large
quantities of these feeds are greedily
eaten, especially In the spring follow
ing winter feeding on dry foods, or
In the late summer when the herds
and flocks are turned into the second
crop after the usual pastures are dried
up or closely cropped.
The chief symptom is distension
of the paunch noted In the left flank.
Relief, which must be immediate II
effective, Is best afforded by the
trochar and canula. This instrument
should be in the handa Of every stock.
man. The proper place to insert the
instrument is on the left side In the
center Of the triangular area bounded
in front by the last rib, above by
the lower edge Of the loin muscles
and behind by the hip bone. Leave
the canula In position 10 or Is min
utes. reinserting in freshly made
opening If necessary, Medicinal treat
ment Is Of minor Importance as rule.
Prevention is easily carried out
either by limiting the time at pasture
to a few minutes each day until the
stock becomes accustomed to the
change OF feeds. or by feeding large
quantities OF dry hay in the morning
before they are turned onto the green
pasture. In either case care should
be taken that no moisture is present.

Basing calculations on the estimate

abroad In the course Of a season; and
this does not include the cost Of steam
ship tickets. Bankers who handle the
letters Of credit for wealthy Ameri-
can tourists are quoted to the effect

value Of these letters, says the Man

premise; possibly both--and possibly
neither. In any event, 1t must be ad.
mitted that $225.0o0,00O is tremen-
dous sum of American money to be
