Coney has decided the case Of Pow
ers Elevator company vs.. Stolz and
The Northern Real Property COM
pany. This was a case in which the
plaintiff foreclosed on a mechanics
lien against Stolz equity in land held
under contract Of purchase from the
Northern Real Property company,
crop payments to be made in speci.
fed sums. Stolz put Up a building
on the land, and Powers Elevator
company sold the lumber and filed a
lien. The question in the case was
whether the Northern Real Property
company had agreed to pay the lien.
Negotiations were conducted through
Steve Still as agent. The court finds
that Still had no authority to agree
to pay the lien. that ne had only
specific authority, and not general.
The Powers Elevator company is au-
thorized to foreclose on the interest
Of Stolz, in the amount shown to be
due him on his land contract.

The Two War Situations.

The Mexican gituation remains about
the same, as does also the Colorado
strike situation. One seems to be
about as useless and void of purpose
as the other.
The Colorado strike is costing the
state $4,000 a day for MALTA alone
what it may be costing the people who
are affected by higher prices for fuel
would be more difficult to estimate
The Mexican war has wrecked that
country and despoiled most of its
property.
An enterprising newspaper in Mexi.
co last week published an article tell.
ing all about the revolt in Colorado
after its own ideas, and no doubt in
spired by the scenes down there. 1t
told how towns were being captured,
how the banks in Denver had been
looted by the enemy and some other
equally truthful statements.
While such stuff is of course very
ridiculous and silly, there are people
in Colorado who are beginning to re
call how one Peabody, the only bust
ness man the state ever had for COVER
nor, got results in a similar situation.
1t killed him politically, but he did his
work and there was no foolishness
about it. 1t will also kill Governor Am
mons politically, so what's the differ
ence? There ought to be some way to
settle the strike, and why not do it !?
There is too much of this political pol
icy flubdubbery. There is not single
need of taking advantage of the labor
er, any more than there is of taking ad-
vantage of his employer. The one is
necessary TO the other. The public,
however. should be protected and
there are a lot of labor agitators who
should also be taken care of.

WESTERN FEEDERS GET
CHICAGO PRIZE ON CATTLE.

The superiority of Colorado noun
poses again was demonstrated at the
recent International Live stock show
held at Chicago, according to Andrew
Norell of North Park. Norell had the
satisfaction at Chicago, of seeing a
carload of fat Herefords, bred by him
at an altitude of 5000 feet, carry off
first prize in their class, and second
in the championship for fat cattle.
Norell sold the cattle to E. P. Hall,
an Illinois feeder, at the 1912 Chicago
brought Norrell $50 each. After a
years fattening by the purchaser, they
averaged 1900 pounds each and
brought $130 each, practically doubling
in weight and more than doubling in
value.
The extraordinary fattening capa-
bility of mountain-raised feeders is at
tributed to the healthful atmosphere
and the nutritious short grass. Year

Quite delegation of rooters came
over from Olathe last Saturday even,
ing to cheer their two basketball teams
to victory in contests with Delta
teams, if possible, but the effort was
all to no purpose. The locals were
entirely too much for them at every
point and won easily.
The first game of the evening was
between the town team of Delta and
one from our neighboring village,
which resulted in a score of 40 to 10
in favor of the former. The second
contest was between the high school
teams of both towns and Delta was
again victorious by a score of 35 to s.
At conclusion of the two games a
social dance was given in which all
entered with a spirit, and the even

GAME WARDEN FAvoRS PERMITS
TO TRAP OR KILL BEAVER

Deputy Game Warden Mccoy was
here from Gunnison last Tuesday and
Wednesday to confer with our board
of county commissioners and the ten
or fifteen farmers who had petitioned
for permits to trap or kill beaver in
Testing the county in certain sections
and in many instances working great
damage to crops, trees and other prop
erty.
When seen by an Independent re-
porter the deputy game and fish COM
missioner had not completed his re-
port to higher officers, but it was
learned that he would recommend
the granting of a permit to each of
the applicants for ten beaver and all
hides are to go into possession of the
state. They are to be properly num-
bered and then disposed of to the
best advantage, the state retaining one
half of the proceeds and the trapper
to get the other half.
1t was stated that the permits would
be issued at an early date.

Where Milk and Honey Flow


If Holy Writ was modern writ, it
could readily be taken that our beau
tiful valley and mesa country inspired
the words which cap this article.
This is a section more than almost
any other, where milk and honey veri-
tably flow.
Not only milk and honey, but the
various other good things which the
Garden of Eden was supposed to con,
tain, grow.
Dairying is all right, and many car
loads of honey annually are shipped
from our local clusters Of hives, but
these are the merest beginning. We
raise the best fruit on earth, the big
gest sugar beets, the most bushels OF
grain to the acre, the best potatoes
in the world, the finest berries, best
melons and vegetables, finest alfalfa
and fattcst cattle.
That's going some! But who. &C
quainted with the situation and bless
ed with the opportunity Of partaking
will gainsay any Of the foreging words
II not the original, this is at least
the modern land where milk and honey
flow
