PRINTING BILL INITIATED.

The bill providing for the reduc-
tion of the cost of the publication of
the constitutional amendments and
is being initiaaedd by the editors of
the state was filed with the sec
retary of state Saturday morning
June 90, at 10 a. m. 1t carried 49,
562 names, which is more than o.
900 above the required number.
Nearly 500 names were received
which were not sworn to and oculd
not be used, which, had the petit
tions containing them been properly
affixed, would have given the edit
ors 10000 signatures, which is near
ly the maximum signatures to any
petition.
Secretary of State Pearce has an
nounced that the publication of
constitutional amendments and ini-
tiated and referred laws would on
ly be made in five issues of one pa
per in each county. He states that
he will not publish those measures
thirty times in those counties where
there are daily paeprs. This means
a saving of perhaps $150,0O0 on ad-
vertising bills alone. 1t also means
that the Democratic dailies that
had expected from $4,000 to 500
900 each will have to be content
with about one-fifth that amount.

STILL THE BANNER COUNTY.

By it's immense production dur
ing the past five years, Delta coun-
ty has earned and held the title of
the Banner County of the United
States"
The present years record in all
crops promises to surpass all former
records, while in the orchard yields
the prospect is almost a certainty
that the yield will be double that of
any former year in even the Ban
ner Countys history.
The orchards are already being
worked upon in the way of thinning
in order that the fruit be of high,
even grade, and there could not be
a "fall-down' between now and har-
vest time. The fruit shipments from
the county this fall are variously
estimated at from 5000 to 10000
carloads.
The first of three alfalfa harvests
is now nearly over with. Beet and
potato fields show well, and from he
carry NdIle.les Ol IoIdlOeS tHt nome
market is already being supplied. Be
fore a month has passed, carloads
of potatoes will be being shipped to
other markets. Delta county will
have, presumably. at least 500 cars
of the finest POTATOES on earth, to
ship this season, most of which are
of the early class, while the sugar
beet acreage is larger than usual.
The berry and small fruit crops are
fine. The strawberry season is sear-
ly over, but the raspberry season
has just begun. In a few weeks the
early peaches and apricots will be
in market, which will be followed
by the Elbertas.
Grains, melons and vegetables are
of the usual good showing and will
help to swell the profits from our
richest of soils.
With all other industries the
stockman is as happy as any. The
winter was light, the grazing sec
tions have had rain in abundance
and the market prices for cattle are
high. There are more hogs being
raised than usual and the poultry
industry is enjoying regular boom

THE APPROACHING CAMPAIGN.

After a few weeks of quiet the
presidential campaign will begin its
steady grind.
The nominations have been made
a brief rest to get ready for a finish
fight.
The hostility between candidates
in their pre- campaign canvass natur-
ally spread to some extent between
their followers, a feeling which may
be expected to largely wear off be
fore election time.

and rivers, inundation of several VII
lagos and railroad tracks, the wash.
ing away of crops and cattle and the
paralyzation OF railroad traffic and
electric power plants. causing many
thousands of dollars damage. were
reported from several sections of the
state.
Hundreds of tourists were marooned
In Colorado Springs because the rail-
road tracks in both directions had
been carried out Anxiety was felt
by the farmers in the Spring section
because of telephone warning that
Monument dam was weakening under
the strain of the food, incident to the
heavy rains.
The loss of many head of cattle was
reported from Kuner, where the
heavy rains were interspersed with
hail. John Swatson, a farmer, was
knocked unconscious by hailstones
and lay for six hours before being
rescued. An electrical storm at Fort
Collins stopped the power plant.
The Arkansas river at Pueblo was
at the highest point OF the year
though no alarm was felt Florence
Colo, small town just west of Pu
eblo, was reported to be inundated.

SITUATION GROWING WORSE
United States May Be Forced to In
tervene In Mexico.

Washington, Aug 2.-The state de-
partment has ordered United States
consuls in Northern Mexico to con-
duct a rigid investigation into the
hanging by rebels in Sonora of two
unidentified Americans. Dispatches
stated they were noncombatants.
Officials here regard the incident as
one of extreme gravity. Should Oroz-
co and Salazar carry out their threats
TO kill Americans by the wholesale the
United States would be forced to send
troops into Mexico.
For two weeks the Mexican situa-
tion has gradually been growing
worse. The action of the rebels In
driving the Mormons from their Chi
huahua colonies up into Texas has
aroused an extreme amount OF bitter
ness toward Mexican people of Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico.
1t is thought here that Orozco de-
liberatoly pl AIMED the looting Of the
Mormon farms In order to refinance.
provision and equip his impoverished
army.

The time for Colonel Roosevelt's ad-
dress to the delegates at the conven-

the producer is a plagiarist.
Belasco was examined before Unit

suit brought by Abraham Goldkno2i
to restrain Belasco and William c. de
Mile, author of "The Woman" from
continuing to produce the play which
had a successful run at the Republic
theater last winter
Goldknopf asks an accounting from
Belasco and De Mile of the profits OF
"The Woman" on the ground that the
theme of the play was taken from the
manuscript of a play he wrote called
Tainted Philanthropy" which he sub.
mitted to Mr. Belaseo's play bureau
several years ago and for which he
received commendatory letters from
the manager of the bureau.

Mr.. Whitman says he has obtained
some important testimony confirming

they met Lieutenant Becker by ap.

district attorney, have given the in.
formation that they saw Becker talk.

by several supreme court justices to

AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED
Mexican Officials perturbed Over
Hanging Of Americans.

Mexico City, Aug. 2.-Government
officials were admittedly perturbed
over reported hanging of two Amer
leans near Cananea, Sonora, and an
investigation has been ordered.
The bodies are said to have been
found by representatives Of the gov
ernor of that state, who reported he
believed the Americans had been exc
cuted by rebels, who hoped to precipi-
tate Intervention.
There is much speculation here as
to the explanation of the hanging
that may come from the rebel leaders.
In the past 1t has been declared that
Rny American victims were slain by
bandits and both the rebel and fcd-
eral governments have disclaimed re-
sponsibility.

take some steps which will secure pro-

In many instances messages are be-

"If the United States cannot handle

some have been directed to the White

The arrival of two trainloads of
