MAKE SETTLEMENT
WITH D. & R...G.

The report Of the water committee
TO the city council Monday night that
II had agreed upon the terms OF a
settlement with the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company in relation
to the compensation to be paid for
the removal OF certain distractions to
the flow Of the Arkansas river In the
Royal Gorge at the time Of the build
ing OF the water works pipe line four
or FIVE years ago. brings to an end n
controversy OF long standing.
During the instlIation OF the water
works pipe line through a portion OF
the Royal Gorge was necessary for
Lumsden & Gordon. the contractors of
the work. to do a good deal of blast
ing and in consequence a considerable
quantity of rock was thrown into the
river, which interfered with its fow.
The city had pledged itself before
entering upon the construction Of the
pipe line that It would not permit the
current OF the river TO be obstructed
in, any way and was under the neces-
sity of cleaning out the stream when
the task was done. The Denver & Rio
Grande wrecking train was employed
for the purpose and lifted rocks and
boulders from the river bed which
could not have been taken out in any
other way. The wrecking crew was
employed in the Gorge a week. but no
bin was presented by the company
for it's work for more than two years.
when a claim of $500 was made. The
city council seemed to be In no hurry
to pay IL and It was allowed TO run
twelve or fifteen months before any
thing was done with it. After a volum-
ipous correspondence on the subject
between the chairman of the water
committee and the railroad officials
the company offered TO settle the claim
in full for $500. which was recon-
mended to the council and which IT
finally adopted
A warrant was ordered issued by
the council Monday night In the sun,
Of $500 and paid to the railroad com
psny in liquidation of its Ion s-standins
claim.

That the rich yellow color -emanded
by the public in dairy products is pri
marily due to the character of the COW Is
feed is demonstrated by recent expert
ments carried on by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation with
the Missouri State Experiment Station
For some years dairy experts have been
studying this question. Their conclus-
ion is that, aftho gh to some extent a
breed Characteristic, the intensity of
this yellow. color may, within certain
limits, be increased or diminished at
will by changing the animal S ratons.
Chemical tests show that the yellow
pigment in milk consists of several we'll
known pigments found in green plants.
Of thes' the principal one is carotin,
so called because it constitutes large
part of the coloring matter of carrots.
The other yellow pigments in the milk
are known as xanthophylls. These are
found in a number of plants including
grass, but are especially abundant in
yellow autumn leaves.
These pigments pass directly from
the feed into the milk This explains
the well.known fact that fresh green
grass and carrots increase the yellow
ness of butter, the only standard by
which the average person judges its
richness. On the other hand, a large
proportion of these pigments is de-
posted in the body fat and elsewhere
in the cow. When the ration is changed
to one containing fewer tarotin and
xanthophyll constituents, this boarded
store is gradually drawn upon and in
consequence the yellowness of the milk
does not diminish so rapidly as it other
wise would. This yellowness increases,
however, the instant the necessary plant
pigments are restored to the ration.
Green grass is probably richer in
,artin than any other dairy feed. Cows
fed on it will therefore produce the
highest coorcd butter Green corn, in
which xanthophylls constitute the chief
pigment, will also produce highly col
ored product. On the other hand, a
ration of bleached clover hay and yel-
ow corn is practically devoid of yellow
pigments and the milk from cows fed
lpon it will gradually lose its color.
It is, of course, indisputably true that
The breed does influence the color of

there will be a corresponding variation

Forest Fires

rWO convictions in Washington for
burning slash without permit
from fire warden, damage
amounting to perhaps $4,000 to logs
and logging equipment in the same
state through fires in slashings, but
no loss Of green timber, is the Pa
cific northwest record for June, the
first month of the 1914 forest fire sea-
son, according to bulletins received
from several states by the Western
Forestry and Conservation Association.
All protective agencies were placed
on the alert at the close of June BY
the prospect of drying interior wind,
but the new forecast service especial
ly for forest fire conditions which is
supplied by the U. s. Weather Bureau
soon reassured them that the threatens
ing high wind pressure in Western Cam
ada had split into two areas and the
danger was for time averted. Never.
theless all patrol forces are being rap
idly recruited for the season and about
1000 men will be on duty in few days
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. About 500 patrolmen are en-
ployed in these states by the timber
owners protective associations, near
ly 200 by the states and the Govern.
ment jointly outside the National For
ests, and the others by the Forest Ser
vice within the National Forests. The
British Columbia Government also has
225 men on duty.
July hazard to be guarded against,
other than from camp fires, is reported
to lie chiefly in slash burning to clear
land and rights of way and in leaving
fires thus started to shoulder in logs
and stumps to break out later when
the inevitable hot and windy weather
arrives. Forest officers announce that
state laws regarding burning without
permit and preeaution will be enforced
rigidly and also warn summer camping
parties to be extremely careful with
camp fires.

In cows of the Jersey and Guernsey
breeds the body fat is frequently of
such deep yellow color that some
butchers and consumers look with dis
favor upon beef from these breeds. For
this prejudice there is absolutely no JUS
tIfication. The yellowness of the fat
springs from the same causes as the
yellowness of the milk and there is no
reason for ebjeeting in one case to the
very thing that is priced in the other.
