DO COLONIES PAYq

A very bright young man named
Norman Angel recently wrote a very
interesting book entitled THE Great
Illusion" in which he attempted to
show, among other things, that col
onies have proved hindrance rather
than a help to the people of coloniz-
ing European nations. He marshalled
plausible arguments which seemed to
warrant the conclusion that any
country might consider itself fortu-
nate indeed whenever it happened to
be dispossessed of a part or all OF its
colonial empire by some other power
He mentioned Spain as shining
example. SPANS possessions in the
New World, as we'll as in the old, he
showed, were weak spots in the don's
armor. When Uncle Sam appropri-
ated the Philippines and Porto Rico
and helped Cuba gain her independ-
ence he did Spain great favor. The
Spanish people, he pointed out. Inn
mediately following the Spanish
American war began to prosper as
they had not prospered before, while
the cost of running King Alphonso's
government was materially decreas
ed.
Mr.. Angel brought forth facts tc
show that governments no longer de
rive revenue from their colonies be
yond the cost of governing them, and
that frequently colonies are positive
bill of expense. He showed. too, tha
SO far as trade is concerned, the pos
session of colonies helps but little
France. with her vast colonial empire
mas been steadily losing her trade
while Germany. with comparatively
sinimportant colonies, has been rapid

WILL NOT use STATE
LUMBER in BRIDGE
STATE ENGINEER MAKES DIS
ELIMINATION AGAINST NEW
MEXICO PRODUCT

The contract for a reinforced con-
crete bridge across the Sapello river
near Watrous which had been grant
ed to the Missouri Valley Bridge and
Iron company pending the approval
of the state engineers office, has
been disapproved by State Engineer
French on the grounds that the struc-
ture as planned did not provide for
sufficient waterway, and to increase
it would so raise the price as to make
it impracticable and prohibitiye.
The bridge was to nave cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, and the state
engineer contends that to add to the
span such unit as would be neces-
sary to take care of the flood waters
would raise the cost of construction
to fully $4,000. He contends that
wooden bridge can be built for a
sum not to exceed $500, which will
be fully as strong as concrete and
long and high enough to assure its
safety in flood time.
| 1t is expected that plans and speci
| fications will be presented to the
Mora county commissioners at theil
October meeting covering the ideas
of State Engineer French, and the
commissioners will be asked to re
advertise for bids. The specifica
tions, it is authoritatively stated, will
call for Louisiana piling and for Ore
| gon pine and fir for planking, string
ers and ties. "a
Thus New Mexico lumber will b.
eliminated, and if the statements o
those in a position to know are sub
stantiated in the specifications, tn
lumber dealers in the state, who ar
prepared to deliver material practit
ally without cost of transportation
will be given no opportunity to CON
pete and the local product as well a
local industry will be cut off, and tn
: states money will go out Of Ne'
Mexico.

ancial situation there.

BRITISH CRUISERS START OUT

New York, Sept. 2t.-There was a
persistent report today that six of the
British cruisers which have been pa
trolling north Atlantic waters have
ordered south at full speed to clear
the south Atlantic of German cruisers,
recently active there. 1t was said
they would make special effort to cap
ture the Karlsruhe and North German
Lloyd liner Kronprince Wilhelm. The
report was given added credence when
it became known that mail received at
the British consulate here fordelivery

warded to Rio Janeiro. Two cruisers

Mr.. Angel, it Is everywhere agreed.
made strong case against colonies.
But he failed to grasp the significance
of the one important fact, namely.
that colonies may be OF tremendous
assistance to the mother country in
times of war.
1t is said that the Turocs from
Africa are the best fighters in the
French army. Seventy thousand Of
them are today helping to win VIC
tories from the Germans. A much
larger number of native fighters from
Africa can be mustered by France If
need be. These black men from the
dark continent are not only hardy and
fearless, but they have mastered all
the finer points of modern warfare.
They would be a welcome addition to
the army of any nation.
Almost as much can be said of the
native fighters from India, who form
part of the great British fighting
machine. For weeks East Indians by
thousands have been pouring across
Canada on their way to the seat OF
war. They are likely to give good
account of themselves on European
battlefields.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand
are all furnishing picked armies tC
the mother country in her titanic
struggle with Germany Even the
Beers of South Africa have declared
their Willingness to help. And Canada
has asserted her willingness to ale
with millions of hard cash as well a;
with tens Of thousands of fightin'
men. atlAe
Colonies may prove expensive ant
troublesome at times, but England
and France just now are not worry

ST. JOHN HOST OF LABOR

ST. John, New Brunswick, Sept. 21.-
The brains and sinew of organized la
Dor in the Dominion filled the large
assembly hall in this city today at the
formal opening of the thirtieth an
rual session of the Trades and Labor
Congress of Canada The roll call
showed the attendance to be unusually
large and representative. Following
the exchange of greetings and the
orening addresses the meeting went
into executive session for the consider
alton of its regular business.
1t is expected the congress will con-
tinue its sessions through the entire
week. Numerous important legislative
matters affecting the welfare of the
wage earners of Canada. together with
special problems arising from Can
eda's participation in the European
war, are to be considered and acted
upon. The annual reports of the va
rieus officers and standing committees
show the most satisfactory progress
for the past 12 months. Within that
period numerous important labor bo-
dies have becomes affiliated with the
congress and thereby added largely
to its membership roll. The finances
of the organization also are reported
in good shape.

HISTORIC VOLCANO ON
COAST KEEPS AT WORK
cALlFORNlANS ARE TREATED TO
NOVEL SIGHT IN ERUP-
TlON YESTERDAY

Redding, Calf, Sept. 21.-After
night of smothered muttering and
rtmbling, Lassen Peak exploded today
in sharp thunderclap, which rocked
the houses at Macomber Flat distant
nine miles from the Mountain.
The eruption today is the forty
eighth since the prehistoric volcano
awoke to new life on May 80 and the
first that has been accompanied by
an earthquake. At the time the shock
was felt-3 o'clock in the morning
the activities of the mountain were
not pronounced enough to make them
selves visible from a distance, but at
6 o'clock a vast volume of sulphurous,
ash-laden smoke and steam was seen
pouring from a fissure one mile be-
low the older vents.
The mountain now has four craters
the ancient one, still sealed; the
new main crater, closely adjacent; a
third crater, formed by the eruptions
of the last three weeks, not far below
the main crater, and the fissure
blown open today. Twice yesterday
the new craters spouted clouds of
smoke, but today the daylight showed
them inactive, while the lower vent
was furiously busy. Smoke and float
ing ash veiled the entire mountain.

FANS ARE UNDECIDED AS TO
RELATIVE MERITS OF YORK

About 300 fans, several of whom
were ladies, gathered at the armory
yesterday afternoon to watch the ex-
hibition sparring of York and his
trainer, Charlie Short, and Gallegos
and his sparTing partners York went
ten rounds, and Gallegos IL. The
chief characteristics Of both principals
as stated few days ago in these col
umns remain practically as outlined.
York is hard, solid, persistent
fighter. ,Gallegos isra clever boxer;
he is possessed OF grace almost feL
line in action. Both men continue
their silence as to their chance of
winning, but victory is equally i'm
portant, aside from the mere winning
of the fight, to each. as future matches
depend largely on the outcome of the
mill next Thursday evening.
Yesterday many asplrants for pre-
liminary honors were tried out, and
many fastastic didos were cut, but at
a late hour this afternoon the mana
gers of the affair had not finally de-
eided whom to put on to keep the in

LOOKS LIKE ROYALTY

Paris, Sept 21.-Bordeaux, the city
to which the French government has
been removed, has the aspect of a
rcyal seat of government, rather than
republican. 1t resembles Versailles,
The desire to build grandoise city
is everywhere in evidence. The
streets are broad, the squares spaci-
Gus, and the buildings of large proper
tion, yet the 25O0OD inhabitants of
the city are insufficient to give it the
appearance of a populous center Bor-
deaux could easily shelter population
three times as large.
Bordeaux is situated on the left
bank of Garonne, which forms a
magnificent harbor some so miles to
the southeast of the mouth of the riv-
er. 1t is 9S9 miles from Paris. Not
only is it easy of access, but it is fa-
vorably placed for communication with
ether parts of France and with Spain.
For the second time in its history ii
row becomes the provisional capital
of France. During the Franco-German
war of 1901 the government was
transferred thither from Paris, and re
I4ained there until the conclusion oi
peace.

BOOSTERS TO Be
entertained
At noon
CLUB MAY ADOPT
A NEW PLAN TO DEVELOP
INTEREST

After having attended two or three
brsiness mems MONDAY lunches at
Trinidad during his visit there last
week, President w. p. Southard OF
the Las Vegas Commercial club has
become enthusiastic for this sort OF
informal gathering of town boosters
and will endeavor to nave it fostered
bv the local organization. Mr. South
ara says the plan in Trinidad is to
have the colored steward of the club
furnish a light lunch between the
hours of - O'Clock and l o'clock each
day. No set program is arranged,
and the business men who drop in
spend their time talking over busi-
ness and social matters. The result
is beneficial, as the members of the
boosting organization are thrown in
each others company frequently and
learn to work in complete harmony for
tho benefit of Trinidad. Mr.. Southard
says the lunch is served at a cost
Of about 25 cents.
Another member of the club, when
Mr.. Southard mentioned the MONDAY
luncheon, described the plan followed
BIZ one of the most successful COM
mercial clubs in Kansas This organi-
cation meets every Monday at noon
in the dining room of one of the ho-
tells, where dinner is served quickly and
at a nominal expense, 25 cents or 80
cents. When the meal has been COM
pleted, which requires about 20 min
utes, the president of the organization
calls for reports of committees and
other business matters. These dis
pcsed of, he introduces the toastmas
ter who has been designated to pre-
pare the program of the day. A rigid
time limit is imposed, and the busi
hess men all leave the hotel at exactly
II o'clock A surprising amount ol
business is transacted by this club
which has accomplished wonders fol
the benefit of the city in whose behal
it is working. The success of iti
Monday luncheons is declared to bt
on account of their beginning and end
ing exactly on time The luncheons ar,
attended by from 40 to 75 members.
Mr.. Southard said he felt sure tn
steward at the Commercial club room
could arrange to serve the luncheons
either daily or on Mondays only. H,
and the other members of the boar
of directors would be glad to hear tn,
suggestions of the members of tn
club regarding the MONDAY luncheons
On account of the fact that none O
the hotels and restaurants here prc
badly would be able to handle the lur
cheons, because of their heavy trad
at the noon hour or their distance fror
the center of the community. it likel
would be deemed best to have tn
meals served in the club rooms. Th
directors are anxious that more men
bers frequent the quarters, and bt
lieve this might prove to be one wa
of inducing them to do SO.

WOMAN MAKES BIG
MONEY WITH CHICKS
Has Shipped $4,000 Incubator Chicks
Since February I. Using Children
for Help.

Smith Center, Kan, July Mrs.
Clara Colwell, a widow of this city,
with only the help Of her two child
ren, both under ten years of age, has
Matched from incubators since Feb l
total of $4,000 thoroughbred chicks.
Thirteen thousand of these have al
ready gone by express to fill orders
from parties living at different points
all over the western part of the United
States. They have all been sent
when they were a day old and in
nearly every case arrived at their
destinations with very small loss.
The average price received was seven
cents per chick.
Mrs. Colwell deotes her attention
exclusively to poultry raising on a
five-acre tract of land, part of whicG
lis sown to alfalfa that she uses for
green feed. She sells neither eggs nor
chickens for table use. The chickens
she winters are the best hns that
money can buy an da few thorough
bred roosters. The breeds she hand
les are the brown and white leghorns
and barred rocks.
On her five acres of land in the
poultry business she clears more mon
ey than the average farmer on a
quarter section of land, and besides
does not work at it more than SIX
months out of the twelve.
