Snipcs ON the Stand.

Snipes took the stand in his own
behalf at $3.50 this afternoon. He
told of his injuries and of Hender-
sons superior strength. He told
simply his own Story of the shoot
ing and his flight to escape a mob
which he expected to be formed to
follow and possibly kill him. He made
an excellent witness in his own be
half.
Schader First Witness.
Sheriff Charles +. Schrader was
the first witness for the state this
afternoon. He told of the arrest of
Snipes above De BeQue and the all
day and night journey In rvertaking
the fugitive. He traced Snipes to
De l}eque from Collbran. and fol
lowed him up Roam creek to the Con-
well home. He trailed the man by

His testimony, except in minor de

The story. compositely given by all

Snipes was accosted by Henderson as
the former came out of the postof-

Henderson to leave him alone. but
the latter insisted on talking to him.
The testimony conflicts somewhat as

TURP|N TO ATTACK MARKETING

issue of the Intermountain Fruit
Journal, was written by r. f. Turpin
of this city. the new editor-in-chief of
that publication. II deals seriously
and exhaustively with the marketing
problem, and is preliminary to an
article which he will write for the
January number on The Central
Selling Agency"
Mr.. Turpin is not only a grower of
wide experience, but he has been
connected for several years with the
board of directors of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association.
The fact that this is the largest sin
gle cooperative selling agency deal
ing in deciduous fruits in the world

haslent Mr.. Turpin some valuable
experience to take into his work as
editor-in-chief of the standard fruit
paper of the intermountain country.
1t is said that Mr.. Turpin will at
tack the distributing proposition
without gloves in future numbers of
his paper and make IL an instrument
to increase the efficiency of the as
sociation on methods of marketing.

Washington. Dec. 19.-President
Taft issued a special message to con-
gress which was read at 4 o'clock
this afternoon.
The president denied the charge
that he had been playing politics In
issuing his recent executive order
putting $4,000 fourth-class postmas-
ters under the civil service. He
deeply regrets the failure of congress
to pass legislation which would prac-
tically kill the 'spoils system"

said that his average number of box
es on 20 trees was g. The idea OF
40 trees to the acre brought smile
to many faces when it is known that
80 are too many in this section, and
the writer wondered what the speak
er would think OF his 16 White Win
ter Pearmnin trees which this year
produced 325 boxes of marketable
(no standards) fruit The fact was
made clear that we must get rid of
every tree or factor which does not
produce a profit, and to do this we
must keep books with just as much
care as does the merchant or the
banker.
Mrs. CarInan's Paper Good.
The audience was justly proud that
the only lady finding a place on the
program-Mrs. +. S. Carman-ac-
quilted herself with such merited
success. Few in the audience under
stood just how much Mrs. Carman
has to do with the actual work ac-
complished in the packing house of
this model fruit farm where SO many
boxes and plates OF premium stuff
have been raised the past few years.
But they discovered that she had ev-
identity found the time necessary to
prepare herself to write worthy
paper; and there are many more of
the wives of our fruit growers who
can do the same .siGs very credit
ably.
The main topic in point of inter-
est-that of q better distribution of
the fruit-was introduced by r. u.
Turpin in carefully prepared pa
per. The central point was that,
q trt, ,.l,f,
associations, IA central board shall be
organized from the several associa-
tions, either for this county alone or
from the several counties on the
western slope; that a good manager
be employed, a good traffic manager,
and then this board shall take charge
of the grading cards and the inspec-
tion department, and the cars shall
then be turned over'to it for selling.

cral associations. This was the main
idea, and it had been talked over by
representatives from the associations
in the county and all had agreed to
the salient points. He thought the
details would not he difficult of So

Ira Cline of Paonia read a paper
in which the same thought was
