Our AppIe-Selline Parson.

Rev. H C. Phillips, of the Baptist
church. who is justly entitled to the
name of our apple selling parson, re-
turned Tuesday from several weeks
spent in the state of Kansas. where
he has succeeded in disposing of five
cars of apples, as one of the incidents
of his trip. He says he could have
sold as many more cars if he could
have secured the apples. C. p. French
has looked after this end of the busi-
ness and seems to have gathered up
about all of the apples that he could
find in the valley.
Most of the apples were sent out
in bulk and Mr.. Phillips gives as his
able way of selling the Uncompahgre
valley product.
In selling the five cars Mr.. Phillips
followed almost the same method as
he sold last fall. He shipped car to
each of a number of inland Kansas
towns and sold them to the merchants
il the merchants would buy them, and
sold them at retail to the consumer
IL he could not interest the merchants
with the proposition. by the bushel.
getting much better price than the
average at which last years crop has
been selling.
Mr.. Phillips says that the high price
of wheat has put lots of money into
the pockets of the Kansas farmers
and the state is in very prosperous
condition.
The fame of Mr.. Phillips as an ap-
Pile selling parson seems to be spread
ing over wide area. Il picked up a
copy of The Country Gentleman the
other day back in Kansas town"
says he. "and was very much sur
prised to find that | had been written
up as an apple seller. in an article in
the issue of March 20, under the head
of The Tramp Car of Apples l have
also received number of letters from
various parts of the country coming
from apple growers who had seen in
the papers about my taking n car OF
Montrose apples back to Kansas and
selling them. These people wanted
to know what kind of success l had
and some pointers rs TO my methods"

Death Rate in the United States

Washington. D. C.. April 21.-The
latest report on mortality in the reg

relating to the calendar year 1913, re
Gently issued by the bureau OF the
census. department OF commerce. con
tains some interesting and significant
figures with reference to the princi-
pal causes of death in this country.
More than one-half OF all the deaths in
the registration area-which in 1913
contained about 65 percent OF all the
population of the United States-were
due to nine causes: tuberculosis. heart
disease. pneumonia, Brights disease
and nephritis. diarrhoea and enter
tits, cancer. apoplexy. diphtheria, and
Group and typhoid fever. The last
three of these maladies alone were
responsible for more than 80 per cent
OF the total mortality reported for that
year.
The death rate from these nine
causes combined in 1918 was sl0.4 per
100. 900 population. This is a material
decrease from the corresponding rate
in l900-937.4 per l00.000-when the
census bureau made its first annual
collection of mortality statistics. The
number OF deaths resulting from these
causes, however, formed a somewhat
greater proportion of the total report.

REMINISCENT OF THE CRAW-
FORD AND MAHER COUNTRY

In 1881 (the most accurate date we
are able to get from scattered infor-
mation) the white people began to
settle this country, most of them COM
ing across Black mesa from Gunnison
and others from Pitkin. Probably
one of the inducements that led the
people to settle this country was the
prospects for 1t as a cattle country.
another that there was abundance of
wild game.
There was a good market in Gun
nison for the deer and elk which the
hunters killed and took across the
mesa on pack horses. Some OF these
old hunters and cattle raisers are still
living in this vicinity such as Harry
Deutsch. Paul and Herman Kreumn-
ling. Hartman Bros, Mcintyre Bros.
and George Young.
Pankey and Wilson built the first
house on what is now known as the
Dan Mcintyre place. They establish
ed a dairy and took their products
to Gunnison which was their nearest
marketing place. The same year
Geo. Young and Joe Preston built
cabins south of Crawford Young's

Maher road now crosses the Smith
Fork creek. Preston's was on what
is now known as the Tom Wood place

material change was noticeable in the

a good outlet for practically all grades

usual vigorous request and quotably

IRRIGATION IN STATE CAUSES
STEADY FLOW IN KANSAS

That irrigation as practiced in Colo
rado at the present time causes a
steady flow of water in the Arkansas
river into Kansas is the basis of the
testimony given by three witnesses
for Colorado who were examined In
the Kansas Colorado water suit being
heard in the offices of A. A. Weiland.
state engineer. in the Thatcher build
ing. Pueblo.
p. F. Nixon and William ]. Wilson
of La Junta. and II. o. Morris of Pu-
eblo, were the three witnesses who
testified
Many Kansas witnesses testified
that the river formerly carried con-
siderable amount OF water into that
state before irrigation was practiced
in Colorado. For this reason. Kan
sas bitches were unable to get a suf.
ficient amount OF water for irrigation
purposes The witnesses later con
tradicted this in stating that during
the summer months in early days. the
river was practically dry in that part
OF the state. This was before irriga-
tion was practiced in Colorado.
Storage reservoirs to catch the flood
waters OF the river in early spring
and late fall have served to keep a
steady flow of water In the river dur
ing the remainder of the year, assert
ed those who were examined. This
was because a large amount of water
was released for irrigation purposes
back to the river after 1t had served
its purposes on the Colorado ranches.

when the incoming east lound freight
struck a wagon loaded with potatoes
at the west end of the depot platform.
Charles Smith, working On the Boat
man farm, had just pulled in with a
load Of spuds to be shipped and was
about to shovel them into the car
standing on the side track. AS the
train approached, the noise frightened
the horses and they ran in front of the
engine, the wagon being hit squarely
and instantly reduced to kndling.
| The potatoes flew in all directions.
O1e of the horses was slightly injured
and the man, clinging to the lines, was
hurled thru space and landed between
the depot platform and the track,
where he remained unhurt until the
engineer stopped the train.
