AUSTRIAN EMPEROR DYING.

Reports received in London from many sources tend to confirm the ru- mor. that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Is dying According to one dispatch received in Paris from Rome. the aged rulers death Is now only d matter of few hours. At the foreign office in Rome. however, it was denied that any reports concerning the enl peror's illness have been received. The Messagero of that city prints state ment regarding the report and declares that word has been received from d worthy source verifying the rumor.
 Emperor Francis Joseph recently eel 'ebrated his eighty fourth birthday. His health was reported poor at. that timt. owing to the war.
 The emperor's sixty-six years of pub lie life have been filled with many acts of kindness and fortitude. which have endeared him to his subjects. but at the same time the monarchy over which he rules has been torn by inter nal conflict of its diverse races.

for higher priced hogs this season
He predicted that the interchange
of ideas on hog raising such as
would come from an association as
had been formed in the Valley
would result in large amount of
good.
DR.. Guyselman gave a brief re-
port Of his work during the past
year and acknowledged the splen-
did cooperation of the growers with
his efforts. He said it was pleas
ure to work with live farmers, who
were full of enthusiasm and filled
with a sincere desire to rid the
entire valley Of hog oholera-not
their own herds alone.
Geo. w. Gates, in response to a
request Of the toastmaster for his
opinion upon hogs and alfalfa, de-
clared that he believed these we're
the salvation OF the San Luis Val
ley and that there was no reason
why we could not raise both. He
said: Il have been very much in
terested in the talks this evening,
and am also enthused with the
work OF the organization and be-
lieve it should be continued. The
hog is certainly mortgage LITTER.
Eastern states have had hog cholera
for years, but they never quit. We
should never have cold feet nor
give up, but keep right on"
Agriculturist Cooley, of Alamosa,
made one of his usual enthusiastic
talks. He has demonstrated, scien.
tifoally, the value of alfalfa as a
forage and said, "We must develop
a system that will assure monthly
payday. 1t is necessary for US to
put our business on cash basis.
Establish cheese factory; get in
dairy stock and use the manure for
fertilizer. Grow alfalfa and live
stock and you will practically solve
the question Of maintaining the
richness of our soil. Everywhere
l find n growing sentiment for
raising alfalfa, but we should moi
lose sight Of the fact that the chief
profit lies in having stock to con.
sumo It."
The last speaker Of the evening
The Monte Vista journal., 1914-02-14

was DR.. Glover of the Agricultural
college, whose deep interest in the
hog situation in the Valley has
made him known to nearly every
one as the man who lighted the
torch for better conditions. His
address consumed the greater part
of an hour and the attention paid
him was very close.
In part, DR.. Glover said: / want
to congratulate your quartet, the
officers and those who had this
banquet in charge and to especially
commend the woman who made
this splendid coffee, l feel that
we would have 'stag-nation' with
out women. A year ago / scolded,
and almost abused you, but to-
night / want to pat you on the
back and am glad to see you enter
into the JOY of raising more pork.
L ike to see farmers driving their
crop to market instead of hauling
it. The dairying business is good;
feed more stock on the farm.
~ want to say just a few words
about the hog cholera, / am opposed
to the use of virus where the effort
is to stamp out the disease. In
this realize that l stood alone,
but l have not changed my miud.
The specific germ of hog cholera
has been discovered within the
last year and vaccine may be de-
veloped some time. But for the

SUIT BROUGHT ALLEG.
ING LAND FRAUDS

Suit was recently begun by Kan
sas farmers against 8. b. Collins
and Burt Hosselkuss of Creede
and j. b. Weiss of Del Norte, the
latter gentlemen having formed a
partnership for the alleged pur-
pose of engaging in the livestock
business and agriculture. The
plaintiffs claim that through fraud
and pretense, they were induced
to come to the Valley and purchase
lands lying in the foothills north
OF Del Norte which were pictured
by the agent Of defendants a. be-
ing highly adapted to the purposes
set forth. At $50 per acre the
farmers were to be let in on this
bonanza. and to secure the frst
payment thereon they were allowed
to give mortgages on their teams
and farm equipment brought from
Kansas.
Testimony showing by what
stretch of the Imagination these
hopelessly barren and rolling acres
could ever be brought under cult
vation, will doubtless prove inter-
esting-if not convincing.

and l am in hearty sympathy with
the movement, and hope to see the
organization grow"
A. 8. Chase, veteran livestock
dealer of Monte Vista was called
upon for statistics, but confessed
to some humiliation at not having
at hand more figures touching the
subject.
Mr.. Chase stated that over $780,
600 was paid out for hogs in 1910
by Monte Vista parties and said
"More hogs are shipped from this
point each year than from any
other station in the State"
w. E. Gardner of Center said
Fellow Rooters; what we most need
is faith, faith in our ability to
build homes and wrest sustenance
from the surrounding acres. A
man who is always worrying how
to sell his farm is not good citi-
zen. The rainbow Of hope is ris-
ing over the San Luis valley and
its indellible colors justify the be-
lief that the time is not far distant
when there will be no desire to
sell" Mr.. Gardner looks TO alfalfa
and the hog as the solution Of the
valleys financial problem.
= r. G. Breckenridge explained
his beaming countenance and gratl-
fication when he said: at is sufh-
oient to sit here and see the sue
sess OF this meeting when We know
that it reflects as clearly as any
mirror the progress OF the hog in
dustry in this valley within one
short year. On the 10th OF Feb
ruary 1918, this association was
born. This followed previous
meeting, in Town Hall the 2sth Of
January when DR.. Glover gave us
a big roast and said il the people
Of the valley had pursued the same
course Of sanitation, as given their
hogs, we would all be dead, and
appealed to all present for mend
ing of their ways. Some OF us stood
up like the six Hundred, which
finally dwindted to about six; but
it was agreed that We couldn't go
homo until some sort OF orgsniza-
tjon was Effected. This oryaniza-
