WANTED TO ADVISE CAPTAIN
Cranky Passenger Thought He Knew
More About the ship Than Did
the Chief officer.

'Panic, more or less suppressed
seizes many passengers on an ocear
liner when anything out of the ordi
nary happens" said the ships off.
Ger. "Often they are cranks who
seem to be obsessed with the belief
that their opinions will help navigate
the ship, and who pursue the engi-
neer or the captain with incessant
advice.
con our last trip, which was very
rough, one old gentleman tried to
reach the bridge where the captain
was, and had to be halted by force.
"But want to ask the captain
about the crew. he fumed. lis the
crew Trustworthy? What shall we
do if we sink? What shall ! tell my
wife?'
"Two sailors were detailed to take
him below with instructions to re-
main and answer his questions.
"When we reached port his first
act was to call on the president of
the steamship company for the pur-
pose of giving notice that he would
never travel on another ship of their
lines. Said he:
"1t was only by a miracle that
any of your passengers reached port
at all. In the midst Of all that
storm, with the sea threatening to
swallow us all, your captain skunk
away where not a soul could reach
him.

She was even more afraid of COWS

first refused to go through the pas

menced to get up, hind legs first, as

TURN TO CRUDE-OIL ENGINES
American Manufacturers Complain
That Engineers Are Not Sufficiently
Recognizing Situation.

Notwithstanding the leading posi-
ton of the United States in crude-oil
production, every other manufacture
ing nation in the world is far in ad-
vance Of us in the manufacture and
use of crude-oil engines. Many
causes have operated to produce this
result; but whatever these causes, the
fact does no credit to American me-
chanical engineering ability and pro-
gressiveness. The Swedish Diesel
engine, which is now to be taken up
for manufacture here, has made an
excellent record in Europe, and its
builders and designers there are to
take an active interest in its manu-
facture here.
1t may be, as is often claimed, that
European engineers have gone to an
extreme in the use of crude-oil en-
gines; but the steady increase in the
price of gasoline here tends to make
power users in this country also turn
more and more toward the crude-oil
engines. In the southwest and on
the Pacific coast especially there is
an enormous field for the use of
crude-oil engines, which American
manufacturers have hitherto failed
to work to its full extent.-Engineer

FIRST GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
Overwhelming Victory Of the Greeks
over the Persians Marked Sea
Conflict Centuries Ago.

The first great and decisive naval
battle in history was fought at Sala-
mis-, between the Greek and Persian
fleets, 1898 years ago, $50 B. G.
Themistocles, the Athenian COM
mander, had 366 vessels to oppose
the Persian feet of nearly 1000 sail.
Facing such a superior force, most of
the Greeks wanted to sail away, but
Themistocles was determined upon
immediate battle. He sent word to
Xerxes, the Persian king, informing
him that the Greek fleet would at
tempt to escape, and advising him to
guard both ends of the strait. The
Persian monarch followed this adj
vice, and the Greeks, 'bottled up"
were forced to fight. The battle be-
gan early in the morning and con-
tinued throughout the day. The Per-
sian king, who hoped to make Greece
a province of Persia as the fruit of
the conflict, "sat on the rocky brow
which looks Ger seaborn Salamis,"
and gazed down to "where ships by
lay below" Byron con-
tinues: "He counted them at break
Of day, and when the sun set where
were they?" The Greeks were COM
pletely victorious, and on the day
after the battle the bay was covered
with the wrecks of Asia's fleet.

GORILLA AIRsHIP PASSENGER.

a gorilla flew as a passenger in an
aeroplane from Strasburg to Metz
the other day. The animal is the pet
of a German military airman, who
acted as pilot. The ape at first re-
fused to be tied into the machine,
but submitted after some persuasion.
Throughout the flight he screamed
and trembled, and when the machine
landed he was so paralyzed from
fright that he had to be helped out of
the passengers seat.

European War News.

There is practically nothing in the
war reports from the European battle
sections this week The dispatch in
terest has dwindled down to about
a par with those from Old Mexico,
which have been. on the average. too
stale to read for the past several
years.
There are still the tales of fighting.
with no authentic account of advan-
tages of importance having been gain
ed by either side. Severe winter wea-
ther is upon the armies and 1t is i'm
possible that fighting should be as
aggressive as II has been until next
spring.
The Kaiser Is reported recovering
from his attack of pneumonia con-
tracted by exposure while at the
front with his armies.
In the Mexican situation it is the
same old joke. with even the point
OF the joke missing this week. the
most sensational thing being the
manning or killing of some Americans
across the border by the target prac
tice of the revolutionary factions.

Poultry Show to
Begin New Year

The annual Poultry Show at Delta
is billed for January 4 to 8, and local
promoters of the show say it prom
ises to be the best ever held in this
city.
The poultry shows held here last
year and the year before were quite
beyond the expectations Of our people
and proved something Of the interest
taken hereabouts in the breeding of
fine fowls. The grading, by expert
judges of our exhibits outclassed
most of the larger exhibits, and each
year greater attention is given to
more perfect breeding as well as to
more careful raising.
Very much interest can be safely
promised to poultry enthusiasts at our
January show. The Fairlamb build
ing, next door to Independent office,
has been nicely fitted up to receive
the birds and the show will be open
for the week specified.
w. D. Hines, secretary of the asso-
citation, will take pleasure in giving
information asked for in regard to
entering birds in this great show,
which none in reach should miss.

ranch, 65 miles north of Fruita in the
Book Cliff mountains Tuesday even
ing. Word was brought to Fruita by
a cowboy on his horse and yesterday
morning Dr. H. W. White left for the
scene in an automobile, expecting to
make part of the trip on horseback.
Very few details of the shooting
were received. News reached this
city yesterday morning and for a
time it was reported that Gross had
been killed, but it proved to be untrue,
so far as is known. Gross was un-
conscious when the messenger left TO
get help. The shooting occurred on
the Adams & Owen ranch, where
Gross has been employed for many
years, and Moore has also been an
employee of the ranch for some time
From the meagre details furnished
by the cowboy who brought the word.
Moore is reorted TO have returned to
the N-Bar ranch from Rangeley, 25
miles distant, and was either in a
drunken or very quarrelsome mood
He picked up a quarrel, it is reported
and wanted to stir up something un-
usual. In some manner he found
Gross his mark and punctured him
with a heavy revolver shot, and after
seeing what he had done gave himself
up to the sheriff who arrived later

mother also lives in the lower valley.

Gross, who is better known by the

be the best on the western slope

ced.redse Banks Consolidate.

The. most important business
change recorded in Cedaredge for
many day was made last Saturday
evening when the two Cedaredge
banks entered into agreements to
merge as one institution.
The details of the merger which ID
to take place this month, are not yet
fully complete but the present plans
are about as follows:
The new organization will take over
the name and charter Of the First
National Bank.
The State Bank building and equip
ment will be the home Of the new
institution.
Officers and directors will be chos-
en- by the stockholders at an early
date.
In the transfer Roy A. Downs. for
SO many years cashier Of the First
National, sells his entire interest and
will sever his connection with the
business of Cedaredge next month.
w. C. Overhults. now cashier Of the
State Bank. will. without doubt. be
chosen cashier under the new organ
ization.
It has been demonstrated that Ce-
daredge is too small a community to
support two banks and 1t is believed
by many that one strong bank can
better handle the needs OF the com
munity than two weaker ones
