Value Of Drilling.
Secretary School District Nc

The Independent has long insisted
dhat Delta county was splendid field
for drill prospecting. as there is every
reason to believe that much if not all
of our territory is underlain with. coal
petroleum, gas, etc.
If none of these resulted there would
still remain the probable development,
of valuable water supplies.
Montrose county peole have shown a
fair amount of enterprise in such un
dertakings and one of the latest re-
suits was chronicled in the Enterprise
a few days ago. as follows:
Peter Nusbaum the well known
well driller, has just opened another
flowing we'll. And that is not all. In
this instance he has also located a
fine ten foot vein of coal. The we'll
is on the old Hayes place three and
a half miles south of town recent, Y
acquired by w. r. Hotchkiss. The well
is 25S feet deep and has an excellent

One of the unaccountable crimes
was the killing of his three children
and himself by c. G. Cox at the Blan-
chard ranch near Paonia last Satur-
day forenoon. The details OF such
crimes are almost too horrible for
publication. The only plea. naturally.
is insanity But when men go crazy
and murder their entire family. it is not
strange that an occasional crank takes
a shot at some we'll known public man.
Murder after murder has been commit
ted i'm this state covering a period of
the past fifteen years. In the county
where the editor of this paper former
ly lived, a citizen of a school district
the school board. His first act was
to walk up to the little country school
house where they were holding a bust
ness session, open the door and shoot
board with Winchester rifle. Within
the past year half-a-dozen people had
hteir heads chopped off with an ak in
single night. Viewing these crimes
as we must, as the result of insanity,
it is more difficult to prescribe a rem
edy, for the murder mania may be lar
gely a matter of heritage, suggested
by physical habits or conditions. And.
by the way. this is a subject for those
who are prating against sex hygiene in
the schools to consider. If the schools
cannot handle such subjects. let it at
least be taught and enforced in the
families.

For the past two weeks this office
has been flooded with literature con-
cerning the amendments and initiated
laws. To have read it all would have
consumed more than one mans en-
tire time. To have published half of
the arguments presented, for or
against the different bills would have
taken up the entire space of half a
dozen newspapers. That the voters
should give these different bills what
attention they can and vote for or
against them, as they conclude best.
there is no question. 1t is their priv
ilege and opportunity to have a voice
in the framing of state legislation, and
if they neglect that opportunity. its
offering viii prove of no avail 1t is
their one chance to get a little back
for the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars the measure costs them. So. do
not overlook the amendments when
voting next Tuesday.

by King Alcohol, is between sixteen
and seventeen billions of dollars, more
than half of all the wealth produced
by the Nation. If our National Gov
ernment in a year appropriates 81 ,OOO.-
100000, though for purposes of uplift,
it is criticised for the burdens laid
upon the people. Here in alcohol we
have ruler that puts upon us bur-
den of sixteen and one-half billions of
dollars for purposes of destruction
and degeneracy.
1t is difficult to see the duty of the
State. If a foreign invader landed on
our shores and disinherited the people
of single county, the Nation would
be up in arms. Here is a fee that has
come upon us and is taxing us for
more than the value of all the pro.
ducts of all our farms, all our forests,
all our mines, all our fisheries; equiv
alent to taking from our people all
that mother earth produces on land
and water combined What shall be
the attitude of the state in face of
Zoe that has disenherited the whole
nation? Clearly the state has not
only the clear right but the bounden
duty to take up arms and eXpel the

The initiated and referred laws
to be passed upon by the voters on

night took up the question OF or
