Balkan peninsula. 1t is sign of the
assent Of Austria to the general plan
Of the European concert and equally
of the practical harmony which Rus
sia has been brought with the other
powers. Two tasks now await the
powers. One to arrange the more or
less conflicting claims of the mem
bers of the Balkan alliance to the ter
ritory that has been wrested from
Turkey; the other the erection and
administration of Albania as a semi
Independent state. The former will
be the most immediate vexatious; the
latter is likely to offer the most last

COLORADO PIONEER A SUICIDE

Fred Warshauer, one of the wealth.
est pioneers of Conejos county, was
found dead at his home in Antonito
Saturday night about 10 o'clock with
.32 caliber revolver nearby. 1t was
evidently suicide. The cause is at
tributed to melancholia due to i'll
health. Mr.. Warshauer has hundreds
of friends in Durango and through
out the San Juan basin who were
shocked beyond measure by the sad
news. Saturday nights Alamosa Cou-
rier gives the following account of
the tragedy.
News of the suicide of Fred War
shauer at Antonito Saturday after
noon has thrown the county into a
state of bewilderment and sorrow. Mr..
Warshauer arrived home Friday morn
ing from a trip to Boston and while
he has been suffering from melan-
cholia for several months, he seemed
in fairly good spirits upon his re-
turn and his family and friends were
hopeful that the trip had proved bene-
fetal and that he would soon regain
his former good health. There is no

Governor Ammons was right in We

immigration. Maybe under Ammons
the state will have funds to run this
important branch in a year or two.
No state requires publicity more than
Colorado. The bureau has been handi-
capped for lack of funds and it is
well the force be reduced for the time
being. A secretary drawing $500 a
year can attend to the work the next
two years.

The suicide of Fred Warshauer at
Antonito Saturday afternoon is re-
GREETED by large number of La
Plata county people who knew him
and the family. 1t also shows how
sad it is for a man to live to his age,
enjoy prestige and all the comforts
he the happiest, end his life. Even
ill-health should not cause one to for
sake all, although continued illness is
very trying on the system and makes
one feel there is nothing in life. To
Mrs. Warshauer and the family The
Herald extends sympathy, and we
know that members of the San Juan
Pioneers association will do likewise.

JAPANESE SITUATION GOOD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
At today's conference with newspaper
men the president said both he and
the mikado of Japan expected an early
and amicable settlement of the Japa-
nese controversy. President Wilson
declares there is no crisis and little
anxiety. There will be no interfer-
ence of foreign powers in the present
diplomatic negotiations.
For the first time the president
barred his position, and unreservedly
gave his interyiewers the complete
"inside information" as he sees it. H(
indicated that he followed this plan
to end the misunderstanding that
any issue raised which cannot be
solved peacefully. Mr.. Wilson believed
the sources of Jap war talk were
made purely on conjecture.
The American charge d'affaires at
Toxic minimizes the reports Of anti
American sentiment the president told
the reporters.
Secretary Bryan has finished his re-
ply to the Japanese protest but will
not send it until Governor johnson
signs the Webb anti-alien bill which
was passed by the California legis-
lature at Sacramento.
The president also told the report
ers he intended to stay here without
a vacation until the tariff bill passes
if it takes all summer. He has not
abandoned hope that the special ses-
sion will pass the currency reform
bill

"The history of the natural gas in
dustry is an appalling record of in
credible waste" says Ralph Arnold
and Frederick G. Clapp, experts of
the government bureau of mines in a
report made public in Washington.
They refer to the waste in Oklahoma,
Louisiana and California as being no.
torious. In Oklahoma, one hundred
million cubic feet of gas is escaping
into the air every twenty-four hours.
This has a value of 100000 day or
$780, 900 a year. This waste is also
equal to one and one-quarter million
tons of the best bituminous coal. The
waste in Louisiana is estimated at
seventy-five million cubic feet of gas
daily, valued at $4,000 for each day,
or S5,475,000 for the year. This waste
of gas is equivalent to nearly one mil
lion tons of coal. 1t is pointed out by
the experts that this waste is espe-
cially aggravating because of the fact
that Louisiana does not have any coal
resources within her boundaries, and
that while the state is allowing its
supply of gas to escape in the air, the
citizens are paying for coal that has
to be transported from the distance.
In certain of the southern California
fields, the gas that accompanies the
oil is exceedingly rich in gasoline, but
up to a short time ago practically
all this gas, with the exception of
some used locally for fuel, went to
waste. The value of the wasted gases
carrying minor amounts of gasoline,
but useful for fuel purposes, will bring
to total loss up to fully per cent of
the value of the total oil produced
in the state, or SS,000,OO0. Mr.. Ar
mold declares that there was years
ago, great waste in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and West Virginia, but
it has been stopped through the busi-
nesslike methods of the larger COM
panies and the efficient state legisla-
ton.

DAIRY BREED NOT ALL-IMPORT
ANT

The first question that arises in
starting dairy herd is that of breed
The tendency is to attach too much
Importance to this matter as influ-
encing the success of the venture.
Some consideration must be given to
the purpose for which the product IS
t. be used.
It is impossible to give data thet
is satisfactory as to the relative pro-
ouction of the different breeds. The
best figures available are those re-
ported from experiment stations in
the United States of animals owned
BY them.
The general plan to be followed in
building up dairy herd naturally
vii, depend upon conditions such as
the purpose in view, the knowledge
and so on.
There are two ways of getting a
herd together; to buy the animals,
which requires no small amount of
capital, and is difficult, or, probably
the best way, to breed them. 1t may
possibly be advisable to buy some good
foundation stock, and at various times
pick up good animal when possi-
BILE. l believe, however, the most sue
cessful herds have been bred and
reared by their owners.
The two things to be emphasized in
building up herd are, first the Sc
lection of the herd bull; and second
the elimination of the improbable
cows by keeping records of production
of each.-Farm Press.
