and General Nelson A. Miles, retired,
who will act as grand marshal of the
commemorative review, are among the
early arrivals With them have come
scores of men who took conspicuous
part in the war.
Although the grand review will be
the most spectacular feature of the
reunion, many interesting events are
on the program for the celebration
which will continue until October g.
The war and navy departments have
co-operated with the citizens commit
tee to aid in entertainment of the
veterans. Exhibition drills Of regular
troops are to be held on the Washing
ton Monument grounds. Secretary
Daniels has arranged to have sub
marines, torpedo boats and other small
naval craft unknown in Civil War days
here for inspection. There will be

Death Shot For
the Grasshopper

Because of the plague OF grasshop-
pers in some sections of the county.
the office OF the county agriculturist
has been swsmped during the past two
weeks with inquiries as to the formula
TO be used in preparing the poison to
be used in exterminating the pests.
The formula recommended by the
government agriculturists and one that
was successful last year follows:
rs lbs bran ID. Paris green. 2 qts.
syrup. oranges or lemons. Sh gals.
water.
Mix thoroly the bran and Paris
green while dry. Squeeze and chop
finely the oranges or lemons into the
water. pour in the syrup and stir we'll
Pour this wet mixture over the dry
mixture 80 that all the bran is wet
Sow this mixture about 4 o'clock in
the morning. Do not put in piles. but
SOW broadcast.
Along the ditch banks. fence rows
and around the edges Of the field are
the best places to apply the poison.
Do not place this poison where chic
kens or other stock is likely to get it.

Another Crank
MOnStroSity

Frank Holt, a teacher of German in
American colleges, went bug-house
over the war, shot j. P. Morgan, Jr.
because he was buying ammunition
in this country for European armies
and tried to blow up the White House
at Washington. A few days after his
arrest he succeeded in killing himself
in his cell.
Holt is another of the monstrosity
specimen of cranks that appear to de-
velop better in this country than any
other, showing the wonderful vagaries
of a deceased brain. 1t is species
of dementia which, though deplorable,
there seems little chance of guarding
against. Holt believed Morgan to be
responsible for the continuance of the
war; just what grudge he may have
had against the national capitol, is
hard to guess.
The same thing is cropping out in
some spot over the land almost every
day. Almost every week there will be
a newspaper account of crazy person
running amuck and killing one or
more people. Those who, like Holt.
try to assassinate heads of nations or
persons of nationwide note, obtain
much publicity. Most Of such persons
are dangerous before they go clear
crazy, and should be looked after more
carefully than they seem to be.
Mr. Morgan was not seriously
wounded, nor was the White House
greatly damaged, but each had lucky
escape The intention of the crank
was to destroy both.

Runaway Crash
On Dodge Street

Al Shilling's big Norman team took
fright at some object in the lower
end of town last Saturday forenoon
and came tearing through Dodge street
at furious rate of speed. There was
no one in the seat to hold reins or
guide the maddened animals as they
dashed over the highway and when at
point in front of the Anderson home
on Dodge street a collision with the
Williams grocery wagon occurred
which might have resulted in either
death or serious injury to the little
seven-year-old son of Mrs. Richardson,
daughter of Officer Adams and wife.
who had been left in the wagon seat
as the driver, Jake Anderson. made
delivery of groceries.
The little fellow was thrown out
with considerable force and the wagon
badly damaged but fortunately the lad
escaped almost unhurt- The runaway
team continued on the run for some
little distance and were finally check
ed before further damage had re-
suited.

Has Nephew
In British Army

The new English army has never
been used in the European war as Yet
according to a letter written last
month on the training grounds in
Scotland by a nephew of James Arthur
of this city and, according to this,
the time has yet to come for the big
strike against the kaiser.
Mr.. Arthurs nephew enlisted last
September as did most of the members
of his regiment and of several other
regiments on the same drilling
grounds. They have qualified as train
ed men, received their stripes. etc,
and are yet awaiting for orders to get
into the fray.
The writer states that he and his
comrades are in the finest possible
form and that they should be able to
give good account of themselves
when once in action at the front. Mr..
Arthur has never had letter coming
from Great Britain censored by the
government but he states that all com
munications from the front or war
lines show evidence of having passed
through the censors hands.

Roads Badly In
Need of Work

The Black mesa road. which 1t 10
claimed, beats all of the Colorado auto
roads for scenery, is said to be in need
of work, mainly across the Montrose
county strip.
In discussing the matter with Mr..
Gillespie, the Gunnison road man last
week, he stated that Gunnison county
was ready to do any work their part Of
the road might require to put it in the
best of condition, but there was no
use in their doing it. he said, unless
Delta county and Montrose county
would also put their parts of the road
in like good condition.
Delta county. as we understand it..
is willing to do its reasonable share,
while Montrose county is inclined to
hang off and give its entire attention
to the Blue mesa route. This. of
course, is but natural, as all travelling
the Blue mesa route must pass through
Montrose. and while lacking much Of
the scenery of the Black mesa route,
In its present excellent condition it
forms the most satisfactory drive 1or
autoists. though many of these who
double the road would be glad to go
one route and return the other.
Correspondence in the hands of the
Delta county commissioners, from the
Highway Commission and the Forest
department, indicate that the mater
of putting the Black mesa road in good
shape will be taken up and perhaps
aided by both departments. An nccos-
ional car is now going over the Black
mesa road. but all complain that there
are some bad places that should have
work done on them. Each man who
passes over this route is also loud in
praise OF its splendid scenery.

Employ Engineers
To Estimate Cost

The luncheon given in Odd Fellows
hall last Thursday evening by the
business men of this city and vicinity
was well attended and there was a
general interest apparent in the Delta
Nucla road matter and other questions
of public importance that are now
under consideration. Independent
goes to press every Thursday evening
each week between the hours of five
and six o'clock and therefore could
not give a report last Friday.
Before adjournment of that business
session and luncheon a committee
was appointed whose duty 1t would
be to take some definite action toward
securing the road between this city
and Nucla. And this committee con-
sists of ten of Delta's most representa-
tive men as follows: DR.. A. z. Miller.
Senator Geo. Stephan. Millard Fair
lamb, Porter Plumb, Geo. c. Wilson,
w. II. Stewart, C. B. Elliott, DIR. l.
Hunter. Mortimer Stone and Mr.. Long
worthy.
The committee held a meeting in Of
fices of Messrs. Stephan and Obert on
Saturday when It was agreed by its
members to give 5000 toward the ex-
penses which will be incurred in max
ing a preliminary survey of the pro-
posed road. Another meeting of the
committee was expected to be held
during the week when the general
manager of the Standard Chemical
company would be present to take
part in deliberations.
This company. our readers already
doubtless know. is the one operating
uranium mines near Nucla and now
doing extensive freighting by team
from the mines to Placerville. The
manager, who was to be here at an
early date to confer with the Delta
committee states that his company is
anxious to get the road from Nucla
to Delta and that they are ready to
cided upon.
The manager of the Standard Chemi
cal company OF Nucla. was in Delta
yesterday when another meeting with
the local committee was held and It
was decided that the Delta people fur
nish one engineer. the Standard Chemi-
cal company one. and the government
forest service one. The preliminary
survey is to be instituted at once. and
chemical company manager is to take
the Delta-Nucla road matter up with
his company at an early date with the
view OF ascertaining the amount OF
money the company will advance to-
ward construction of the road.

United States
Versus Mexico
(By the Junior Round Ttable.)

(By the Junior Round Ttable.)
The following discussion of one of
the very important questions confront
ing the United States government at
this time was presented at a recent
meeting of the Junior Round Table of
this city:
For the past four years there has
been much cussing and discussing con-
cerning the state of affairs in Mexico
and the duty devolving upon the Unit
ed States concerning the turmoil and
destruction that has been in progress
during that period of time. There
has been much claim from the whole
world that the United States was in
duty bound to take the matter in hand
and pacify the country. reorganize the
forces of the government and re-estab-
lish government that would again be
recognized by the countries of the
world in business relations and the
saving of lives OF citizens of countries
representing the entire world. The
claim. that the world is making. is
based upon the fundamental principle
that the United States is fathering. or
claims to protect the two western con-
tinents from colonization or in any
way taking possession OF affairs on
this side Of the world. This funda-
mental principle Of government is en-
bodied In what is known as the Mon
roe Doctrine" This doctrine originat-
ed in the time OF President Monroe,
about the year Of 1890. and its origin
is due to disputes between this country
and those OF Europe at that time. and
which eliminated In q decision made
by President Monroe to put the mat.
