STATE BOARD OF HORTI-
CULTURE MAKES REPORT
Estimate Says Delta Will Only
Produce Half as Much Fruit
as Mesa.

Next to Fremont county accept
ing the challenge issued by the
Delta County Business Mems As
sociation, the biggest joke of the
season is sprung by the state board
of horticulture in the shape of a
report of the state apple crop for
this season and an estimate on the
production by various counties.
According to that report the
apple crop of Colorado for the
season of 1911 will be worth S6,-
100000, which is doubtless conser-
vative. OF this amount Fremont
county is estimated at 100000
boxes. Otero 1852, 900 boxes, Mesa
100000 boxes and poor Delta coun-
ty only 305,000 boxes.
1t is nice for Mesa county to be
the common shipping point for so
many fruit growing counties. The
big howl that has been made by the
Grand Junction papers about pro-
ducing nearly double the amount of
fruit grown in Delta county in 1909
can be traced to the same source
that caused the state board of hor-
ticulture to make its recent report,
and that is that Grand Junction
claims credit, or has in years gone
by, for every bit of fruit, in car lots
or by express shipment, that is
shipped through there, not only
from Delta county but from the
fruit districts of Garfield county.
This fact has been known for some
time to local people, but not to
all who have been and are still be-
ing misled by the statements made
in those papers. Already this year
they have doubtless marked down to
their credit several cars of Delta
county fruit that has gone through
there.
We noted however, that there
was but little said in regard to
the state board of horticulture
crediting them with double the
amount of fruit that it estimated
| for Delta, and we know why. Be-
cause they realize the depth of the
statement-or rather the lack OF
depth-and they further realize
that the shipments this year will
be confined to Mesa county fruit.
They can't win the 500 from
Delta on Garfield or Delta county
| fruit. nor will they be allowed to
count in cantaloupes and potatoes
as they have done in the past
But what's the use? They haven't
gotten up the nerve so far TO put
up the s1OO.
So much for Mesa county. We
can readily account for her, but
where Fremont is coming in with
100000 boxes is puzzling as is
also the $4,000 boxes that Otero
is to produce. Guess the latter es-
innate was meant for watermelons.
1t won't be long now until the
facts will begin to roll in and
people will open. their eyes.
Judge Welch has written to AL
bert Mouff, secretary of the state
board of horticulture, inviting him
to come over and make an invest-
CATION of the Delta county fruit
growing section and it is to be hop
ed that he may do so before he
makes another report.
1t might be added that Mr..
MOUTHS report is largely based up
on guess work and hearsay. His
is a political job and he is poll
tician more than a horticulturist.

FUSS OVER A CIRCUS.
Barnum & Bailey Show Opposed BY
Fair People.

A representative of the Barnum X
Bailey circus and the city commission
ers together with the state fair di-
reetors had a three-ring circus at the
city commission chamber in the city
hall this morning.
The circus man wanted to fulfil his
contract to show in Topeka in fair
week. The commissioners told him
the license would be $1,000 in case
he made this decision. Then he
wanted to show the Saturday follow
ing the closing day of the fair. Then
the state fair directors represented by
Secretary Cook and President Borman
took a hand. They said the circus
would take $1,000 away from the
gates of the state fair.
The wrangle lasted for 25 minutes
with spurts of oratory from every
corner of the room. Finally the may
or called a halt on account of the late
hour and the discussion was postponed
until the city attorney could be con-
suited.
The circus people also sprung let
ter on the commissioners which told
of an agreement made last year that
the license would be cancelled this
summer on account Of the fact shat
the rainy weather stopped the last
performance The city officials new
er heard OF such an agreement and
the circus representative put the letter
back in his pocket.

his activity in the Lorimer matter:
Il did talk with him about the situa-
ton in the Illinois legislature pending
the senatorial election in 1909 I had
served with Senator Hopkins and felt
interested in him and I told Mr.. Hines
thatI hoped there would be an election
I thought the Republican ranks should
be filled up and said so, but beyond
such expression I did not go. Senator
Aldrich felt the same way and so ex-
pressed himself
The committee probably will adjourn
Saturday to meet in Chicago after July
4. In beginning his testimony, Mr.
Hines said he was Al years of age.
He told of his rise from Office boy at
$40 a month to the day he and others
formed the Edward Hines Lumber com
pany in 1892. None listened to his
story more intently than his wife who
has been a constant attendant at the
hearings Hines said he owned 81 or

either president, director or stakeholder.

of Chicago, the storm center thus far
of the second Lorimer inquiry, today
told the senate Lorimer committee his
story of how he became actively inter
ested in the election of Lorimer to the
United States senate. He declared that
both Senators Aldrich and Penrose ap-
preached him in May, 1909, on the sub
ject of the Illinois senatorial situation
and that Senator Aldrich represented
to him that President Taft was espe-
cially interested in having the Illinois
vacancy filled. Senator Aldrich, Mr..
Hines said, also stated that both he
and the president felt that Mr.. Lori
mer, then a representative in congress,
could be elected
Mr.. Hines asserted that Senator AID
rich had wanted him to go to the White
House to see the president. Hines said
that he thought it best for Mr.. Aldrich
and Mr.. Taft to talk the matter over
by themselves and did not go. Senator
Aldrich came to him, he said, imme-
diately following the conference and
reported the president as favoring
Lorimer. Mr. Hines said he at once. col

MUST PAY PRICE.
Court Will Find Why Carl Blu
ford Neglects Family.
Tired Worn Wife Tells Her Sad
Story.
SPENDS ALL MONEY.
Supports Self and Two Babies
at Wash Tub.
Husband Takes Frequent Vaca-
tiOns by Himself.

Carl Buford. of 1928 Lane street, is
the latest victim of the delinquent par
ent law. Buford earns SIS a week, but
Mrs. Buford is compelled to support
! herself and two babies, one aged g
years, the other 10 months
1t seems that Buford has a positive
dislike to Kansas weather in the sum-
mer time. Then when the gas is low
and coal high in January, he migrates
to the south. But Mrs. Buford and
the children must stay in Topeka and
make the best Of it.
At the City Hand Laundry Buford
earns SIS a week. The wife says. how
ever. that most Of this money is re-
quired for se11i-annual vacations and
outings required by the husband. Mrs.
Buford and the babies don't know what
an outing means. OF course the wife
has heard of them, but she never had
one herself
When Buford is in Florida in the win
ter, or in Michigan in the summer, Mrs.
Buford sticks daily to her task. It is
up to her to see that herself and babies
eat and have a place to sleep and an
occasional new dress. It never gets too
hot for Mrs. Buford to turn out the
required amount of washing and iron
ing and occasionally she sews for a
neighbor.
Mrs. Buford is modest, too. She didn't
boast of her prowess as she sat in the
county attorneys Office today and told
why she believed the law should regu-
late Buford's junketing. Possibly there
was a tear in the WOman's eyes as she
told an officer of the hot, sultry nights
when she has mended the babies dress
es by the light of an oil lamp while
the little tots slumbered in their not
over soft beds.
But Mrs Buford didn't complain. It
was just a straight, cold blooded. ev
cry day grind with her. Certainly
though, she told an assistant in the
prosecutors office, Buford should as
little ones. AS for her own toll, well,
it was a sort of every day affair, any
how, and she has grown to look for
ward to little else.
"But surely the babies ought to have
something more" she said. 1T does
not look right, really it doesn't con-
tinued the little woman in the same
matter-of-fact tone, land I thought
possibly you could arrange it so Carl
would spend a little of his money 10
buy the babies a few new dresses and
sort of help keep the home together"
But never a word did the woman say
10 indicate she herself might appre-
eiate a new gown. or that sometimes
there wasn't as much to eat in the
family larder as there ought to be;
or that the mother denied herself that
the babies might have plenty of fresh
milk and things to make them healthy
and strong.
When she had told her plain, sim
pie little story, an attorney turned to
his desk and replied that Mrs. Buford
need not worry about Carts weekly
contributions in the future. That
matter Will be arranged, he said; and
a complaint was issued ordering Blu
vision for his wife and children.
