GOVERNMENT EXPERTS
ON SOIL ARE HERE

CONTINUED from Page I J
the bureau of drainage and soil in
vestigation of the department of the
interior at Washington, ID. c., are in
Grand Junction for a few days. The
gentlemen were met here by w. P.
Headdon and Earl Douglas, soil eX-
perts from the State Agricultural
college, and are making a prelimina-
ry survey of the lands near the city
this afternoon. The purpose of their
visit is to prepare a report which
will be submitted to the head of
the department, and two experts will
be sent here within month to es-
tablish permanent headquarters for
investigation of soil conditions. The
nitro" soil problem will receive spe-
cial attention.
d. G. Miller, local expert for the
government drainage bureau is out of
the city on business for few days
and during his absence the govern
ment men will make an especially
close study of the causes of soil de-
terioration A number of ranches are
to be examined.
When the government experts have
completed their report the Grand
valley will probably know reasons,
causes and effects of the soil trou-
bles and steps will be taken immedi-
ately to remedy the faults. This
will mean a great deal to the valley,
the new land as well as the old or
chards. -..r

men will be here but a few days to
obtain their preliminary report. H.

Grand functions Christian church
minister, E. V. Huffer. is in bad with
that city's ministerial alliance, with
the deacons of the church and divi-
sion of his flock all because he refus-
es to condemn Sunday baseball. Rev.
Huffer states emphatically that Sun
day is not the Sabbath and every
body knows it: and that one can wor-
ship God in the morning and attend
a baseball game in the afternoon
without being inconsistent or in any
manner desecrating the Lords day.
Whatever ones belief may be in
this, one must admire Rev. Huffer's
frankness in stating plainly what he
believes rather than allowing his
policy to be warped and diverted to
suit the requirements of his church
or the ministerial alliance. Incident
ally this daring minister is social
ist. which has not added to his pop
ularity in certain quarters.

As the emperor arose to make his

he saw the great gap that had been
made at the recent election
At the opening OF the previous
reichstag there were only hfty-three
Socialist abseEtees.
The kaiser, however, made no refer
ence to the governments defeat at the
polls. He referred to the friendliness
existing between Germany and all the
powers and declared that 1t was now
his purpose to promote peace both al

cordingly, within a short time a

other citizens, equipped with the
two chemicals, were on hand at
the depot awaiting transportation
but owing to the drift in the cuts
the engines sent from Mcintosh,
TO convey the force. could not
reach Lennon early, and it was
about 2:1O before Morristown
could be reached. To unload and
rush to the scene of the fire a
couple of blocks off consumed
but short time, and in barely
five minutes time streams were
playing on the flames from both
engines. The flames were just
then devouring a steel sheeted

Basis Of Questioning.

The points made by the investiga-
tors in examining Beaulieu were:
That he had no authorization from
the White Earth Indians to go to
Washington or anywhere else to lobby
for legislation resulting in the Clapp
amendment Of 1905.
That his 40 called power Of attorney
was not representative and was not
even referred to by him when he saw
Senator Clapp and Representative
Steenerson in Washington.
That no proper notice was given of
the councils" OF Indians to which he
refers.
That the objection of the Nichols.
Chisholm Lumber company, which
employed Beaulieu in opposing the
Wisconsin bid for the White Earth
timber, was not valid objection.
That Beaulieu has shown no grounds
for his criticism of the Indian depart
ment and the Burch Investigating
force last year.
