FRUIT CROP?

Orchardists say western Colorado
will market the largest crop of fruit
in its history this year. Figures they
have compiled to give an adequate
idea of the immense harvest show
that the crop will bring into Colorado
s6,OOO,000, says the Denver Repub-
lican.
If all the cars were coupled togeth-
er in one train they would extend
almost from Pueblo to Denver.
This is what the western slope
alone promises in the way of fruit
this year and growers say they need
help for the harvest. 1t is estimated
that 5000 extra men will be needed
and orchardists are appealing to the
large cities of the state to supply
them with help.
The picking will begin about
August 30 and will last until Novem-
ber 3. Growers promise $3.50 a day
and il is expected Denver's unemploy-
ed will flock to the fruit country.
Railroads are offering special rates
and towns in the fruit sections are
sending agents to Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo to offer induce
ments to laborers.

COLORADO"
HOTEL IS
ATTACHED

Fraud is charged by William O'Bri-
en- in his latest suit against h. J..
Bolles, which was filed a few days
ago, asking that the deed to the Ho-
tel Colorado at Glenwood Springs
be set aside.
On the morning of July s, O'Brien
filed the first of a series of attach
ment suits against Bolles in an eff
fort to secure 1921 900 in return for
services rendered and moneys .ad-
vanced in connection with the Flori-
da fruit lands venture. which made
a multimillionaire of Bolles within
few years. On the morning of July
8, at 10 o'clock, O'Brien filed for
record writ of attachment on the
Hotel Colorado, which has been own
ed by Bolles for the last several
years. At S:59 o'clock the same
morning Bolles filed a deed transfer
ring the hotel to his brother and sis
ter for consideration of ST." The
deed, it is said, was drawn up a few
days after the supreme court of Flor
ida decided the O'Brien-Bolles suit in
favor of the latter, setting aside the
contract on which O'Brien based his
claim for one-fourth interest in
the Fruit Lands company.
1t is alleged by O'Brien that the
property was decided solely with an
idea of defrauding him.

ARE HOT AFTER
LABOR BUREAUS

Denver. July 3O.-The employ
ment bureaus in Denver are getting
in bad sending laborers in large
numbers to the Clifton fruit district
in the Grand valley before they are
needed. The matter has been called
to the attention of the state labor
department, and as a result the labor
bureaus that have been guilty of DO
ing this have been notified by Labor
Commissioner Brake to stop the praC-
tice.
The facts are:
The Clifton Fruit Growers Asso-
citation has asked for laborers to be
used in gathering the large fruit
yield in that district; but gave in
structions to the employment bu-
reaus that the help was not needed
until the 25th of August. Disre-
garding this provision of the Clifton
Fruit Association, the bureaus have
been forwarding hundreds of laborers
to that section. This action brought
the state labor bureau on the scene.
Commissioner Brake received a let
ter from the Clifton Fruit Association
telling of the situation, and gave the
information that he district was over
run with men sent there by the Den
yer employment bureaus at so much
per head August %, the letter
states, is about the date on which
the shipment of peaches will begin

CRITICIZE ARNOLD
FOR REFUSING GIFT

Denver, July 30-There is heard
not a little criticism over Mayor Ar
nold's refusal to accept gift of So
600 from Henry Doherty of the DEN
yer Gas & Electric Light Company
| for the benefit of the sufferers or
the recent Cherry Creek flood which
swept away many homes of the poor
er people of the city that happened
to be located in the wake of ;ae
waters.
There was and is need for every
cent of the proffered money, and the
more sensible view of the matter
would be to accept it.
1t looks like a cheap attempt at
foolish sentiment. The mayors
stand in not taking the money so
literally rendered, not for the may
ors benefit but for the benefit of
the really poor sufferers of the flood,
can only be branded as child's play.
1t is true that the people of Den
yer have responded to the requests
made on them for donations to allie
yiate the suffering of hundreds of
families; but still not enough money
is in sight to care for every one who
lost by the angry waters that swept
away their homes. No other single
donation has been as large as that
so generously offered by the head of
the Gas & Electric Company, and the
refusal of lthe mayor to accept the
same, while the sufferers continue to
be in want and all sorts of charita-
Bile stunts are being carried out TO
raise more funds, seems ridiculous to
sensible people.
Those who. with the mayor, op-
pose accepting the DOherty offer say
that the refusal to accept the money
is because the money is tainted
that it would not be the right sort
of aims, coming as it would from a
'plunder corporation. The fight
against accepting the money has all
along been championed by the Dem
yer Express which always has led a
relentless war against all corpora
.tions on general principles. In this
flood fight, however, the masses OF
the people are not with the Express.

nor portion of the proceeds from this
enormous crop going outside the
state, so that Colorado merchants and
manufacturers may receive the full
benefit of the money from ColoraGo's

Mexican Turtle Industry.

Prom this London Globe.
The rivers and fresh water Iagoons at
some distance from the Mexican coasts
literally swarm with turtles OF the genus
Nanemys. They are found even at an
altitude Of about 5000 feet above sea
level. They attain a considerable size,
some of them reaching weight of sixty
five or even seventy-five pounds. This
turtle is considered to be a dainty as
well as a staple food all over the Gulf
coast region, and is annually taken in
great numbers. According to the United
States consul at Vera Cruz, the supply
seems to be increasing rather than d.
minishing. The wastes Of water hya-
cinths are simply alive with the crea-
lures, and while the tangle of the plants
and roots makes fishing for them diff
cult, these places are becoming more and
more the favorite localities for taking
the turtles. In open water they are
caught with seines. but among the hya-
cinths recourse is had to the spear, as
nets cannot be used advantageously. On
account of the lack of shipping facilities
the consumption of the turtle is restrict
ed and largely local It can. however,
be easily transported. The turtles will
stand shipment OF several days by sim
ply being occasionally doused with cold
water. and arrive at their destination in
. lively condition.
