DEPOSITS FOLLOW RAIDS
District Attorneys Comparison
Suggests Relation.

Tho trail on which Assistant District
Attorney De Ford is now working was
suggested in part b. the publication OF
Commissioner Waldos list OF gambling
houses. proprietors and owners When
that list was published 1t showed at
glance such a nunbsr OF condolences be-
tween the Becker raids and the Becker
bank deposits that Mr.. De Ford began to
tabulate the two matters comparatively.
From the evidence adduced in this way
Mr.. De Ford found It only another step

activities Of other members OF the Police

the cases Of two police inspectors whose

Free Concert is
Well Attended

A crowd that filled every available
spot in the lobby of the Y NJ. c. A.
building heard the free concert by
the Philharmonic club last night and
were swayed into wholesome apprc-
citation of the efforts the club is max
ing to give Grand Junction better
musical attractions. There is no de
nyinE the fact that the Philharmonic
club is gaining an ehviable reputation
and they added impetus to the pop
ular whirl of admiration last night.
The orchestra rendered ten selec-
tions. 1t would be hard to choose
the favorites with the audience. They
got every encore they could coax
from the musicians. The vocal solos
of j. Warren Fletcher, Miss Nell
Weir and Prof. Carl Il. Kiefer added
variety and charm to the excellent
program. George Greig's flute solo
was also worthy number, well ap-
plauded.
The promoters of the club and the
musicians feel gratified over the ar
dent reception they received last
night, and there is little question
that the weekly concerts in the Ma
jestic theater will be attended by
larger crowds than ever before.

VALUABLE FIND OF OAK.

A rich find Of black oak has just
been made on a farm near Hull, Eng
land The farm recently changed
hands, and the new owners decided to
clear away a wood which stood upon
it. In excavating TO remove tree roots
the workmen discovered several
trunks of black bog oak, and further
investigations revealed hundreds of
trunks of oak under the ground. They
were in splendid condition, and had
evidently been buried a century or
more. 1t is customary to bury oak in
order to turn it black and thus In
crease it's value. Evidently that had
been done in this case, but the death
or removal Of the proprietor Of the
farm caused it to be forgotten, and Il
lay undisturbed, and other trees were
planted on the top Of it. So great is
the quantity and SO compactly rs 1t
buried that explosives are being used
to loosen it. The value of the oak is
believed to be considerable.

PRICE OF SUICIDE RISES.

A missionary in China writes that
the price OF opium, is now higher than
ever on account OF the stringent
measures taken by the government to
suppress the cultivation OF the poppy.
This rise In price" he says. has one
good feature. Raw opium is a poison.
and when the crop is in hundreds OF
women utilize 1t as means OF ending
their troubles. Now, however, the
price is so high that the rolls OF opium
contain only about three parts Of
opium to seven of leather waste. At
least ten such rolls are needed to pro-
duce death, and each roll costs ten
cash, or one cent The price OF sui
eide by opium is. therefore. ten cents.
which is much more than most of
those desiring death can possibly
scrape together. In other words, sui
eide is now luxury which only q few
can AFFORD"
