GOVERNMENT FIGHTS
FOR WATER

Washington, July 29.-The admins
tration is lining up for fight in cor
gress in defense of its policy Of the
conservation of water powers and IN
this instance President Taft has be
hind him such men as Clifford Pinchot,
former chief of the forestry bureau,
and other conservation leaders.
Secretary of War Stimson developed
the issue when he instructed the army
engineers to report in every case where
the project had any commercial value
at present; whether that value was
likely to enhance in the future; wheth-
er the particular stream was likely 10
be improved at the public expense.
Immediately protests came from CON
gressmen who are furthering bills for
the development Of water powers. Tha
secretary, backed by President Taft,
served an ultimatum on these senators
and representatives that no water
power bill would be approved by the
war department unless in each bill
clause is inserted looking to the divis-
ion of the profits with the national
government.
Today word came from the capitol
to the war department tnat Il eomoina-
tion had been effected of the congress
men who believe the capitalists who
are willing to undertake the risk CT
developing the water powers are enti-
tied to all the reward and that an effort
is to be made Wednesday to bring up
all these measures in an omnibus bill
already favorably reported, and put 1t
through the house.

PROTESTANTS FAVORED
BY POPE'S RULING

St. Louis, July 21.-Protestants wish
ing to marry Catholics need no longer
sign an agreement to rear the children
resulting from the marriage in the Ro-
man Catholic faith.
Neither will they be obliged to
pledge themselves to refrain from inter
tcring with the Catholic consort S per
formance of religious duties.
An article in a local Catholic publ
cation says the change was brought
about by the repeal by Pope Plus OF
that portion of the decree "ne temere' -
and quotes The Acta, the official organ
of the vatican. The repeal becomes
effective at once.
The ''ne temere' was decree issued
by Pope Plus at Easter, 1908, which
obliged every Protestant wishing to
marry Catholic to sign an ante-nup-
tial promise before the priest who was
to perform the marriage ceremony.

HOME CANNING AND
HIGH COST OF LIVING

A thorough investigation into the
high cost of living in the cities
brought out that the city housekeeper
was paying exorbitant prices for the
fancy package and can, instead of re-
ceivng the value of money expended
in food.
1t was demonstrated that the cost of
living could be reduced one-half if the
city dweller would buy fruit in guam
titles and put it up herself. The lady
who must exist in a tiny city fiat may
have some excuse for Sinking the
economical duty of home canning, in
her lack of store room for the finished
product. But the woman who has a
home in country or village, with
peaches so plentiful, and sugar so
cheap this year, should follow the good
old ways of her grand mother in filing
pantry and cellar with wholesome home
canned fruit. The family health and
pocketbook will surely suffer when
home canning becomes lost art.

DENVER EAGLES DIsBAND

Denver, July 2s.-Denver Eagles no
longer have an aerie home.
With the sale yesterday of all the
furniture and fixtures from the club
rooms, the Denver lodge of Eagles end
ed, and the last chapter of their his
tory in this city was written.
The sale of the furnishings was made
to the Building Trades council for
$1,000. After the sale the furniture
was moved out of the club rooms, the
door was locked, and visitors to the
club rooms last night were confronted
with huge placard bearing the on"
word, "Closed'
The lodge is no more and the mem
bers have nothing left but the memory
and debts amounting to $4,000 to be
paid.
Though it is not generally known,
the charter of the Denver aerie of Ea-
giles was revoked by the national body
four months ago. Nothing was said
about it at that time, the members de-
string to first get rid of number Of
liabilities.
The flight of the financial secretary,
E. d. Van Gorder, two weeks ago, with
$2,700 of the lodges assets, all the
money on hand, put the order in fur
ther embarrassing position. The mem
bers found themselves with debts
amounting to nearly $4,000, with no
assets except the furnishings, which
were sold yesterday.
The bonding company that had bond
ed the absconding secretary is liable
to the lodge for $4,000 and with the
81 200 realized from the sale yesterday,
the members still will have about $4,000
debts. The members say this amour.
will be raised and the debts paid in full
in a short time.
Whether the lodge will ever be re-
organized the officers will not say.
They declare their first concern is to
clear the debts of the old aerie and
then consider reorganization.
"I believe the Eagles will have an
other aerie in Denver within few
MONTHS" former member said last
night. eff the Eagles get together
and reorganize on sound basis I be-
lieve the national order will grant an
other charter.'
Other members held different opin-
ion. They declared there is little hope
of the Eagles being revived here. There
is lack of interest among the former
members, they said.
Officers of the Kansas City lodge
came to Denver to negotiate the sale
and attempt to straighten out the finan-
cial tangle.
