Princes In Russian Ranks.

The native princes of the tribes Of
the Caucasus. many of whom are Mus
sulmans. came forward at the begin
ming OF the war offering horses. men
and money. A magnificent body OF ma
tive horse has now taken the feld.
Many Russian regiments are com.
posed entirely OF men OF princely
birth. Wealthy landowners. each OF
whom subscribed tens Of thousands
to the war fund. are contented to serve
the emperor as plain troopers.
The response Of the Russian Polish
aristocracy has assumed remarkable
forms. One Of the crack guard resi-
ments has formed two whole COM
panies entirely composed OF men Of
noble birth. among them being 30 Pol
ish noblemen. headed by Prince Zam-
oyski. who. discarding his high court
rank. has donned the blouse OF pri-
vate In his majesty's footguards.

CARLSON SIGNS ADMINIsTRA-
TION BILLS MARCH 3

Denver, March 3.-With the igning
of the prohaloyoon today by Governor
Carlson the administration measure
designed to enforce the prohibition
amendment, passed by the people at
the last general election, will become
effective simultaneously with the
amendment Jan. 1, 1916.
The bill provides strong statutory
penalties for violations of the amend
Vment as defined in the bill.
The house today passed four So
called juvenile court bills, on the sec
ond reading The measures. which
were introduced by Representative E.
NJ. Sabin of Denver. Republican. would
transfer all of the powers Of the ju-
venile court to the district court and
also transfer all divorce cases from
county court to district courts.
Democratic opposition to the meas
ures was led by Representative Evan
geline Hearth of Denver. who charged
that the real object of the bill was
the removal from office of Judge Ben
B. Lindsey. judge of the Denver ju-
venile courts. Representative Sabin
denied that this was the object of the
bills. but added that this might result
from their enactment into laws.
w. w. Rowland. representative
from Denver, today asked the ap-
pointment of a house committee to in
vestigate published statements that he
had recently received a package con-
tanning currency. He denied the re-
port. The committee was appointed
with Speaker Stewart as chairman.
The senate passed on third reading
the bill designed to render owners or
agents OF property of questionable
character liable to prosecution.

Along the line of game conserva-
tion the new amendments making ten
pounds of trout or ten game birds a
days kill to each hunter or angler, is
commendable, and the limit plus five
pounds of fish or five additional birds
in possession at one time, is ample
Independent has no sympathy with
the game and fish nogs, who take or
kill for just what they call the sport of
the thing. n as much as the game
laws are regular subject OF tinkering,
and as this is about the first time in
the history of a Colorado legislature
that anything above a dream has been
the offspring of such tinkering, this
feature comes in the nature of some
thing unlocked for. Some of the other
features, however, like the close seas
on on rabbits, which, if at all plenti-
full become pest, and which the
government has for years been try
ing to reduce by poisoning along with
the prairie dogs. partakes much of the
regular class of game legislation.

In this issue of Independent is pub
lished synopsis of the fruitgrowers
plan of central selling agency as
furnished by Mr.. Forbes of the Aux
iliary. AS this information has been
awaited by practically all of the grow
ers hereabouts, it will no doubt make
interesting reading. 1t is published
without comment, merely given ac-
cording to the copy supplied, and, as
the matter is new, changes may pos
sibly be made as if goes into practice
and good suggestions in such mat
,ters by the growers themselves are
nearly always open for consideration.
Up to date the plan launched seems
to be meeting with entire approval,
and the fruit growers of the different
sections of the Western Slope are en-
thusiastic for it's adoption.

The European war has apparently
settled down to a starve-out campaign
between England, France and Ger
many, as is proven not only by Eng
lands blockade but by her open dec
laration. This, along with the des-
truction of Dardanell defences. has
served to make wheat prices tumble.
If England and France can succeed
in procuring Russian wheat through
the Dardanells and can successfully
blockade the seas against American
foodstufffs, the situation must become
very gloomy for the Kaiser's people.

Feeding a CANNING Factory.

The fruit season opens at Eugene,
Oregon, about the 18th of May with
gooseberries and rhubarb, strawberries
coming on the latter half of the month.
BY the first of July we begin canning
at our cooperative factory. In addi-
tion to strawberries, we have red and
black raspberries, loganberries. red,
black and royal cherries to put up and
we have a hundred women and thirty
or forty men employed. The dryer is
started about this time on loganber-
ries. The latter half of July finds us
busy with the beets and the first de-
livery of string beans. Bartlett pears
and blackberries begin to come in af-
ter the middle Of August. September
sees the last OF the peas. string beans
and plums. This Is the month for
shipping early apples and drying
prunes. During October we are pack
ing dried prunes, canning apples, to-
matoes and pumpkins. shipping apples
and making cider, kraut, etc. The can
merry is seldom closed before the 18th
of December. Our evaporator has a
capacity Of 600 bushels of fresh fruit
daily. II is used in July for loganber-
ries. in August for peaches and prunes
and for apples during September and
October. Our dried fruit packing de-

become in splendid shape for the
spring cultivation. Some plowing has
already been done and it is safe to
say that much more land in the ter
ritory tributary to Delta will be cul-
tivated this year than ever before.
Add to this the fact that large atten-
tion is bound to be given to the grow
ing of staple crops and that a good
market for those crops is pretty GER
tain, and you have one of the good
reasons for the belief that much live
lier times are to come with the fall

Independent notes that some of the
state papers accuse the Hosmer in
fluence in the State Editorial Associa-
tion of giving the railroad passenger
reduction movement its quietus, and
hint that passes were the cause. This
can hardly be believed under the
working of the present stringent anti
pass law. That the bunch" in ques-
tion may have been tempted to yield
to the persuasion of coin, would be
much more easy to believe And, by
the way, it can be noted that the men,
bers of our present legislature are very
quiet upon this matter There is abso.
lutely no reason why the mountain
rates in this state should run from
five to seven cents per mile for pas
senger travel. and the subject-with
out some hindering cause-should be
as beneficial to the people and as in
teresting to legislative members as
are the scores of silly measures which
have been proposed and some OF
them passed. What is the real reason
why the members who have been put
to 1t SO hard to think up useful and
beneficial laws, cannot be induced to
tackle many beneficial measures pos
sible?

Quail Feather and x.R.x.

An ordinary mountain quail feather
held before the eyes serves the same
purpose as a powerful x-ray machine.
according to DR.. Barton J. Powell OF
Stockton, Cal. who has sent a bunch
of the feathers to the California State
university for experimental purposes.
Doctor Powell says that while hunt.
ing in the Sierra Nevada an old Indian
called the fact to his attention. TAX
Ing feather from quail the Indian
held It before the physician's eyes
and put his hand up to the light. The
'bones Of the hand were plainly visible

The Indian said feathers had been
used from time immemorial by his
tribesmen as an aid in setting broken
