The Kingdom Development Slow.
The first Illustration Of our lesson is
that Gods Kingdom In It's embryotiS
condition Is OF slow development, GOV
ering the entire period of this Gospel
Age. II Is like seed cast into the
ground. which brings t. maturity
WHEN II Is harvested. Jesus and the
Apostles did the seed sowing, not only
for their own day but for the whole
wheat olnss The gathering for the
heavenly garner win be accomplished
BY the First Resurrection.
Tho different parallels do not view
the embyro Kingdom from the same
standpoint. The parable Of the mus
tar,l seed appears to represent tha
Kingdom from the viewpoint Of the
world. From that little seed we have
a great institution today with many
UNCONVENTIONAL branches. but alas! les
thrifty development has invited into
its branches the fowls OF the mir
which the Lord elsewhere describes az
representing the Wicked one and his
angels who could have no place in the

true Gospel.
Indeed, It is the neglect TO prench this
Gospel Of the narrow way" that has
brought such prosperity 10 nominal
Christianity and made II desirable
place for the fowls Of the air. Satan
aud his deluded ones. This seems to
be the picture which the Great Teach.
er gives us in Revelation XVIII. 2; "she
hath become the hold OF every foul
spirit and the cage of every unclean
and hateful bird"
The word cage" seems TO imply that
these birds" are considered very dc
sirable, and are held on to By nominal
Christianity probably because regard

members.

Little Girl Lay Unconscious foN
Several Honurs-Evely Eff
fort Made to Save Life.

The little 8 or 10-year old daugh-
reside about four miles up the Gun
nison river. was seriously injured
at about 5 o'clock Wednesday even
ing, when a light spring wagon in
ing to Delta, overturned at a point
near the Joe Gum farm, one mile
this side of their own home.
Mrs. Fisher and little daughter
started to Delta that evening with
a supply of fresh cherries which they
had just picked frcm the trees in
their orchard, and when in front of
the Gum place, the horse, young
and spirited animal, SHE'D at some
object, causing the wagon to over
turn. Mrs. Fisher landed safely,
but the daughter struck a large
boulder with her head which caused
severe fracture.
Persons at the Gum ranch soon
came upon the scene ad carried the
unconscious child into the Gum
home, after which Delta physicians
were summoned and directed to make
all possible haste in covering the
three miles space between this city
and that point, as the case was of
very serious nature.
These orders were complied with
and in a very few minutes the doc
tors were on hand making examina-
tions and doing all in their power
tc restore consciousness and relieve
the suffering. The examination re-
vealed the fact that the skull was
fractured on the back of the head.
and the face considerably bruised.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing the attending physicians were no
titled by phone that the child had
partially gained consciousness, and
this gave some hope for her recov-'
cry. The doctros returned to the
home at 10 O'Clock, when an opera
ton was performed.
Persons who saw the wagon over
turn state that the horse, although
frightened badly, did not offer 10
run. but started in kicking, and WAS
not long in demolishing the wagon
and freeing himself.

In an effort to minimize the loss

POLLUTION OF GUNNISON
BY BODIES OF ANIMALS
Dead Animals Left to Rot at the
Rivers Margin-Law Not En-
forced Upon Owner.

Anyone visiting the Gunnison river
on fishing trips is nauseated by the
sight and odor of dead animals left
to rot in the water or upon the
river banks.
At Sapinero last week, the writer
counted half-a-doz dead horses.
COWS and calves, in trying to fish
along the stream for a mile.
That the people of fishing resort
would allow such a condition would
appear beyond belief. Farmers of a
section may at times grow too busy
to look carefully after good road
work, though even that is, in a
measure. inexcusable; but the law
should be enforced against owners
of stock who leave their dead ami
mails to rot in the streams, endan-
gering the health of people living
all along such streams and robbing
local sections of their charms as
pleasure resorts.
In the vicinity of several of those
dead animals, If one happened to
be in the direction the wind was
blowing, he could not stand the odor
at a distance of several hundred
yards.
The Sapinero section is DOUBTLESS
merely an instance. With a state
law on the statutes of Colorado.
fixing a severe penalty for that man
ner OF stream pollution. both the
Gunnison and its tributaries ac-
ceessory bayous and small marshes,
are dotted too often with dead car
casses, while whitening bones in
dicate that the custom has been one
of long standing.
The people of Colorado and other
states who go to the Gunnison to
fish are a source of maintenance and
profit TO the people all along the
upper stream. The absence of dead
animals in an advanced stage of de-
cay, along their favorite fishing
grounds. ought TO be due them.
But this is not the worst result
of such careless criminality. 1t is
a deadly menace to the health of
thousands of people who use the
water of the river from its source
down to where it joins the Grand.
The removal of these dead animal
remains and the prosecution. of
their carless owners. would be steps
which every good citizen could hear
tily applaud.

RIO GRANDE DIRECTORS
VOTE TO BROAD GUAGE
$250,O 900 to be Expended at Once in
Widening Tracks Between Sa-
Ida and MOntrOse.

At last. it seems, we are to get
SO long desired by residents of this
section. 1t has just been announced
that the board of directors of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad COM
pany, in session in New York City
last Friday, voted that s250,000 be
expended at once in widening the
guage OF the trackage between Mont
rose and Salida over Marshall pass.
No one thing the Rio Grande COM
pany could do in this part of Colo
rado toward improving its system
would be of greater benefit to fruit
growers and residents in general.
One of the greatest obstacles con-
fronting our shippers is the fact that
all our products are loaded into
via Grand Junction or undego a
Transfer from standard to narrow
guage cars at Montrose, thus incur
ring necessary delay and possible
damage TO our produce, particularly
% ST that shipment be fruit.
Marshall pass is one of the high
est in the state and the operation of
this line costs the company a for
tune every month The recent in
crease in traffic has made it neces-
sary TO install the broad-guage in
order that the products of the far
mers and fruit men in that region
may be handled with more celerity.
The distance between Salida and
Montrose is 1876 u miles and there ar
% miles of branch line, all narrow
guage.
With this change of guage the D
& r. G. will have 624 miles of mar
row gauge remaining. or less than 20
per cent of the total track miles.
About 400 miles have been converted
in the last ten years.
The company officials asserted
this. work would begin at once and
that the completion of the work is
expected to be reached in about seven
months.

PROF. HERRICK To GO TO

Prof. R. S. Herrick was up from
Grand Junction the first of the week
and while here made the Independ-
ent office a pleasant call and in
formed us that he is soon to leave
Western Colorado permanently, due
to the fact that he has recently ac-
cepted a position at Ames, Iowa. His
work there will consist oF eNtention
work in horticulture. assisting AT
Institutes and some experimental
work
Prof. Herrick has for a number OF
years served faithfully as horticul-
turist in this section. His first TWO
years were spent in Delta, where
he made many friends. The past two
years he has been located in Grand
junction where he has been equally
popular and his departure will be
deeply regretted by all.
An offer was made Prof. Herrick
about year ago from the agricul-
tural college of West Virginia. but
the Colorado people met the raise
and retained him. The last offer,
however, was beyond their reach.
The Independent joins Prof. Her
rick's friends in wishing him well in

FORGER ARRESTED
BY LOCAL OFFICERS
RAISED s11.75 CHECK TO s7o.7s.
Cashier Declined to Cash it.
Captured at Hotchkiss
Last Saturday.

Robert Carpenter, a lad II years
of age, couldn't make money fast
enough at ranch work, it seems, to
keep even with his expense account.
and he conceived the idea of rails
ing a check given him by S. E.
Lewis at Paonia, on the First Nat
ional bank of that place, for s11.75
to s7O.75.
Carpenter procee ded at once TO
the banking house. after making the
and presented it to the cashier for
payment. The banker, however, felt
some suspicious and declined to pay
out the money until he had made
some inquiries. The lad disappeared
from view and when it was learned
from Mr.. Lewis. maker of the check
that il was drawn for s1l.T5 in
stead of s70.75, officers were not-
fled and search Instituted on July
End, the day after Carpenter pre-
sented the check, but until last Sat
urday no clues were gained leading
to apprehension of the young check
artist
On Saturday it was learned that
CARPENTER was at work on a ranch
near Hotchkiss. The officers of tha
town were notified and his arrest fol-
lowed. Sheriff Williams was notified
of the capture that afternoon and
went out to Hotchkiss on the even
ing train and returned with the
prisoner Monday morning.
1t is reported that two other
checks were forged by Carpenter, but
as to the correctness of the report,
We are unable to determine.
At a preliminary hearing Car
penter was held for appearance at
the September term or court in the
sum OF $500. and In default of said
bond he is now confined in the

DENVER SWEPT BY
A TERRIFIC FLOOD
HEAVY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
Water Two Feet Deep at the Union
Depot and All Downtown and
Bottom Lands Received SIM

On Sunday night Denver was Wis
tied by the worst flood in that city /,
history, from two to three feet of
water sweeping through the union
depot and all the low-lands of the
Cherry creek district. No trains left
morning.
Judge King was at the depot at
the time the water swept through
and verifies the statements pub
lished regarding the waters volume.
Many people were carried out of
the depot on trucks. while others
waded." states Judge King. The
street cars were stopped and it was
necessary to wade in water over shoe
tops up Seventeenth street.
N. H. Castle, who arrived home
Tuesday evening, was also there at
the time of the flood and he says
the papers did not exaggerate it in
the least as to the amount of dam
age done. He stated that in many
places along Cherry creek the streets
were piled several feet deep with
sand and debris.
AT the time much rain had fallen
over the entire Eastern Slope water
shed. A passenger from Salida on
Monday said lit seemed like the win
dows of heaven were opened and
that there might be a repetition of
the old-time flood
While much water came down in
all other streams, the sources of
Cherry creek caused the over
flow of that innocent looking but
treacherous channel and its overflow
poured directly into the city.
The first reports in Denver news
papers estimated the property loss
as high as SIS, ,eee,eee, with possible
loss of life. Hundreds were driven
from their homes and some sought
refuge on the tops of houses.
The storm left general wreckage
of bridges along the course of the
streams.
