Territorial Teachers Association yes.
terday as favoring a school pension
system. Twelve teachers voted against
such system and fourteen announced
themselves as being neutral"
As the question of pension sys-
tenn is vital one, as stated by Supt.
Henry w. Kinney in his address to the
teachers, the feasibility of the system
was discussed from every angle. The
working of the system in California
was explained by C. v. Osborn of Sac
ramento, who taught in the public
schools of that state for 35 years and
who is beneficiary under the teach
ers' pension law He said in part:
About twenty years ago the matter

ports are restored. The price paid
for refined sugar after the reduction
of the tariff fom $1.6o to 81, has
shown that the tariff is not an element
in the cost to the consumer and this
is making deep impression upon the
Washington authorities"
Shortly afterward Representative
Broussard introduced his resolution,
published in the following despatch:

Practical Diversification

The system. in fine. should be to
concentrate our products.
The mines have grades of ore which
will only pay to ship when run
through a concentrating mill and re-
duced in weight ten tons to one In
that one ton of concentrates all the
metal values that were in the ten tons
have been retained and the freight is
saved on nine tons of ore.
Grain and hay fed to cattle are re-
duced in the same manner. though by
natures process. II it paid the owner
of the mine to invest in concentrating
machinery. il should more safely pay
the farmer to invest in stock. in which
there is really no particle of danger
of loss.
The sugar beet is concentrated to
minimum weight when manufactured
into sugar. which can be shipped to
Europe or an distance, where the beet
itself could never have been shipped.
Alfalfa can be fed profitably. Pre-
sumably with mill, it could be
ground into meal and the product
shipped at money making price.
Under proper management canning
factories should be practical In this
vicinity. Home manufacturing has
proven the keystone of wealth to al
most every place where rightly un-
dertaken.
We believe all of this will come.
At the present. where so many desir-
able crops can be grown abundantly,
and where most of them are depend
able for profit yielding, n selection of
more than one or two of them should
each year be made. And don't forget
the cattle and hogs.

it was that a number of business men

A Good School
Year is Promised

with the starting in OF the school
year at Delta next week is anticipated
the. beginning OF one of our best and
most progressive school years.
The foundation work in the past has
been splendid. and. with the efficient
force OF instructors in all the grades
and departments. II is safe to predict
that improvement in studies of the
average pupil will be satisfactorily
rapid
And this is not alone true of Delta,
but of the schools of the county. as
well as outside environments. There
are few places in the United States
where better educational advantages
are enjoyed than here on the Western
Slope. Delta county alone. has more
than quarter OF million dollars
worth OF school houses.
In the Delta district there are nearly
1 200 school children. All the grades.
as well as our fine high schools, are
well equipped and well provided with
the most competent teachers. They
cost the taxpayers money. but II any
department OF expense is worth 1t,
the maintenance OF our public schools
should represent that department.
Delta's $4,000 high school building
is one OF the finest and best planned
school buildings in the state. and the
school Improvements in the county
are far above those of many rich and
popuious counties OF middle and east
ern states. And of all this our people
are justly proud.

THE DENVER MARKETS
. - . . . . . . . . . .

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug.
3O.-Receipts of cattle last week were
quite liberal and there was fair de-
mand for the stuff. However, prices
were weak to lower as a result of
lower markets east and at the close
of the week values were 15c to 25c
lower than the week proceeding. To-
day with 1900 cattle on sale. cows
held steady under light offering and
steers were 10c to 15c lower again
Yard brokers lost money on much of
the stuff they handled and sent to
eastern markets last week. and this
made them rather bearish today. Good
beef steers are selling from 81 to $3.50,
and fancy North Park steers sold
early last week up to IS. Fair steers
are bringing s6.75 to 81. Cows are
selling from Sc to $3.50 for the pretty
good grades and right fancy cows up
to s6.75. Fair cows are selling at
$3.50 to Sc Bulls are bringing up to
s5.35. and veal calves are selling at
from IS to SO. Feeder and stocker
trade continues light. Demand Is
limited and the market a little slow.
Pretty good steers are selling at $3.50
to Sis. and fair steers from Sc to
$3.50.
The hog demand was good and
prices sharply higher today. The fea-
ture of to-day's trade was the sale of
two carloads of hogs from Grand val
ley, Colorado. at $3.50, the highest
price paid here for many weeks, and
zoe per hundred above any other sale
today Pretty good hogs are selling
from 81 to s7.4O. The supply of late
has been strong and demand is good
Sheep demand is good. with prices
firm to higher than a week ago. Good
grass lambs selling at IS to $3.50,
yearlings up to s6.65. wethers at Sc
and s610, and ewes at $3.50. The de-
mand is good here and prices com
pare well with other markets.

the arrest of Somersets saloon keeper
for being open and doing business on
Sunday against statutes of the state
and against specific orders from Of

The arrest was made at the in
stance of Deputy District Attorney
Geo. Heatherington who happened to
be in Delta on Saturday and had
persuaded our sheriff. NJ. A. Davis, or
vice versa, to accompany him on an
auto drive to the west slopes big
coal camp on Sunday where baseball
game was on. The two men arrived
in Somerset reasonably early in the
morning and took a look over the
situation.
They frequently saw men go into

Coop Phone EN-
ployes to Picnic

The operators and line employees
will hold their second annual picnic
in the beautiful park at Hotchkiss,
next Sunday, September 3, and expect
to have the time of their lives.
Their annual picnic last year proved
such an enjoyable event that it has
been determined to perpetuate the
event. and much thought has been
given TO arranging the program for
Sundays picnic, TO afford the greatest
amount of enjoyment.
To people so closely confined as are
those employed ON telephone and tele-
graph lines. such an event means a
great deal in both anticipation and
realization.
1t is safe to predict as much real
pleasure will be derived from the
second annual picnic as it is possible
to extract from one days outing, any
place or by any people.

Uncle Billie Cele-
brateS Birthday

W. S. Girardet. Uncle Billy, as he is
famiIiarly known at his home in Ce-
daredge and in most parts of the
county, celebrated his birthday in
quiet, pleasant manner at his home
last Tuesday evening but this cele-
bration was not by any plans of Billy
1t was his wife who conceived this
idea of making the event one to be
remembered and the affair was a most
complete surprise to the one being
honored
Mrs Girardet decided upon a sumpt-
uous supper for that evening when the
guests were to be only old time
friends of her husband. And these
friends were DR.. A. H. Stockham. j. l.
Sherd, c. S. Blanchard and Sam
Lovett. They quietly gained entrance
to the home without Uncle Billy's
knowledge and were invited to the
table at the hour appointed when the
hosts surprise was plainly noted.
After supper social good time was
had discussing pioneer days and do
ings and a number of useful presents
were left for the genial entertainer
by guests for the evening.

The War News
To Present Date

There isn't much real war news this
week The Germans. according TO
dispatches, have been advancing
steadily and the Russians retreating
as slowly as possible.
The advent of winter will afford
advantages to Russia and it is said
she is stubbornly fighting for time.
England's credit is suffering and
her gold soverigns have gone CON
siderably below par in this country
for the first time in history, making
1t necessary to ship to the United
States many tons of gold.
As time goes on, it becomes appar-
ent that both Germany and the allies
are firing of warfare which. in n
short year has cost millions OF lives
and practically bankrupted them all.
and, while peace may not be near,
and the possibility remains that the
war might continue through years, 1t
need not occasion surprise to read OF
direct and defined overtures for
cessation OF hostilities in the very
near future.
There is practically no change in
the situation down in Mexico.

Peaches Very
Cheap in East

From a New York firm the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers Association
has received perfectly frank letter
that is enough to take all the conceit
out OF the peach men. so far as the
one market goes. II seems that with
the perfectly tremendous crop of
peaches being harvested over the
country. the local association has the
hardest job on record to sell the fruit
at prices that will return enough to
make them worth shipping.
The letter says:
I'VE must shake our heads again
about peaches. This market has gone
to Hail Columbia and the whole bot
tom is absolutely out of It. Among
some 5S cars sold today, eight were
from California, mostly Elbertas, big
beauties were sold at 40 cents for a
few of the biggest 40 cents and 80
cents for the others and the whole
bunch of the balance for 30 cents.
Saturday we received some of the fin
est peaches we have ever looked upon
Elbertas from West Virginia. so beau
tiful they looked like they had been
painted by an artist. They sold for
$1.O0 for six-basket carriers. Grand

Black Says Crop
Goes With Land

In chambers Monday morning Dis
trict Judge Thomas Black made a
very important decision with refer
ence to mortgages, foreclosures and
the growing crops thereon.
The case at issue was entitled H.
A. Warning VS.. Sarah ]. Barlow. n. NJ.
Barlow. Baly Wilcox, and the Mont
rose National bank, wherein the plain
tiff sought to have F. D. Catlin ap-
pointed receiver to collect the issues
and profits from certain land that
was involved in a real estate mort
ants to secure the payment of $1,000.
The first three defendants executed
a mortgage to Waring on January 1.
1912, due in three years with interest
at the rate of eight per cent per
! annum- The complaint recites that
when the mortgage became due last
January negotiations were entered
and an extension of the mortgage was
had for another three years.
The mortgage provided that in case
of default of the payment of the mort
gage. interest, taxes and insurance.
the whole of the same became due
the court, upon request of the plain
tiff should appoint receiver for the
handling of the property pending the
foreclosure proceedings.
The defendants are alleged to have
failed not only to make the payments
of the interest coupons as they be-
come due. but to pay taxes as well,
and the plaintiff asked the court to
give judgment in the sum of $500
and interest as we'll as other costs
incurred by him; also to appoint F. d.
Catlin as receiver to collect the issues
from said property.
Meanwhile it is alleged that the de-
PENDANTS, Sarah ]. Barlow and n. NJ.
Barlow. borrowed a sum of money
from the Montrose National bank. Civ
ing the latter a chattel mortgage upon
the 1915 crop. and the latttr opposed
the appointment of the receiver on
the ground that it was entitled to the
crop in satisfaction of its claim.
After arguments of Catlin & Blake.
for Waring. and John l.. Stivers for
the Montrose National bank. Judge
Black held that the original mortgage
and extension held good even to the
1915 crop on the land and that it was
his duty to appoint a receiver for the
property under the terms of the mort
gage. and he named F. d. Catlin for
this purpose.
The effect of this decision will be
to make exceedingly dangerous the
loaning of money upon the crops on
mortgaged land where there is any
doubt as to the ability of the borrower
to keep up his interest and other obli-
gations.-Montrose Press

Shoots Man At
RefOrmatory

The report comes to this city from
Buena Vista that Jess Smith. former
night marshal OF Delta who is now
a guard AT the state reformatory in
Buena Vista shot and perhaps fatally
wounded Rasmus Nelson, prisoner
a; the institution who. 1t is alleged
was attempting to make his escape.
.rhe people of this city did not
know what had become of their form
er officer who was tried and pro
nounced guilty OF certain charges In
the district court here a little over
a year ago and this recent act Of
Smith brings him again into promi'
nence and establishes his present
whereabouts.
One OF the Saiida papers has the
following dstasls Of the rccent shoot.
ing At the reforfnatory:
Rasmus Nielsen, a prisoner OF the
state reformatory while attempting to
escape yesterday was shot and prob
ably fatally injured. Nielsen is in
Red Cross hospital. Salida. with a
DulIet WouHu III nis aouoheh'
He was employed with other pris-
oners under guard on the Mahon
ranch few miles from the reforma-
tory and during the noon hour made
his escape with another prisoner. A
search was made OF the surrounding
country until the two men were locat-
ed in a clump OF bushes.
Guard Smith commanded Nielsen to
raise his hands but he refused. He
then commanded him to walk out OF
the brush, indicating with his gun,
the direction the prisoner was TO take.
Smith declares he was not covering
Nielsen with the gun but that II was
a single action. quick triggcred Colts
AMI the gun was discharged acci.
dentally.
Nielsen was sent up from Walsen-
burg for burglary. He was considered
wise prisoner" at the reformatory
and the guards took no chances with
him although his conduct had been
good previous to yesterday.
Guard Smith formerly was town
marshal at Delta and is veteran of
the U. S. Army. having served in the
Philippines. He is considered n
careful guard.
