Olathe, 60 points.

Glenwood Springs, SO points.
Several records of the local high
school were broken. Wesley Murray
broke the record for the 12O-yard high
hurdles one second, and the shot put
record of the school one inch.
This has stood since Max Boyer
made it in 1908.
The javelin record was broken by
Leland Scheu, who threw it 124 feet
5 inches. The old record was los feet
s inches held by Paul Knight. The
reason Grand Junction lost the con-
test was plain. The school let a few
boys do all the work. OF the 55 points
Grand Junction won, Wesley Murray
won % and the individual champion
ship, with four firsts, one second, two
thirds and a fourth, entering eight
events and broke two records.
Mark Knight made 15 points, an
nexed the broad jump record with a
leap of 19 feet 9 inches.

Peace Rumor Affect. waIl Street

Investment securities as represented
chiefly by railroad issues and war
shares, particularly munitions, motors
and the general run of equipments
and industrials, went their separate
ways in New York this week.
Specialties of all descriptions were
unfavorably affected by persistent
peace rumors, while rails devel-
oped unexpected strength on what
seemed like substantial accumulation.
Reading led the movement in rails,
that stock being in extraordinary de-
mand from about 80, its minimum
price of the mid-week, to 1861, new
high record attained in the course of
enormous overturn in this week s
very active session. Readings posi-
tion in the railway world is so strong
and unique by reason of its stock con-
nection as to make it the most avail
able leader.
While the course of other stocks was
marked by indecision, two develop
ments of the week-payment of an
other deferred dividenn on Republic
Iron and Steel preferred, and resump-
tfon of dividend at an increased rate
on Distillers' Securities, pointed to the
steady improvement in varied lines Of
industry.

Herd Law Unjust
Proposed by Post

The proposed Herd Law, which it is
championing for the sole benefit of
one of its favorites, doesn't seem to
have any friends on the Western
Slope.
1t is shown by the opponents of the
bill that of those signing the peti-
tion for its initiation, fullys75 per cent
are neither tax payers, farmers or
|stockmen, and for this reason it is
feared that it may be voted for
strongly in the cities and northern
part. OF the state, to the detrimeft OF
the classes most affected by it.
Stockmen are against it, as they say
it will drive them out of busin IS.
Farmers who have considered it, arc
generally opposed to it because they
recognize the stock interests as idenri-
cal with their own.
In this argument there is much of
merit, not only because stock raising
makes them a market for their surplus
hay and grain, but because they see
the necessity of owning more or less
stock of different kinds as part of
their present and future farming bust
ness.
From all practical view points the
herd law as proposed is decidedly
dangerous and harmful, calculated to
depress industries and raise the aver
age of taxes-and taxes are high
enough now.
Producers, like business men. do not
so much care for expenses so long as
times and business are good. But,
when harmful laws are made. and still
more harmful ones proposed, calculat-
ed to deplete business and increase
expenses, they have a right to protest,
and they should make their objections
strong.

Progression Slow
at All the Fronts

Very little change can be noted in
the progress of the European war.
Fighting continues fierce at Verdun,
but without the gaining Of decisive
victories by either side.
If the war news given out that Ger
many, by her fierce attacks. has
driven French lines back, the dis
patches next day are usually in effect
that the French have recovered lost
ground and are holding out staunchly
in the defense of their Notifications
and outlying trenches.
The battle of Verdun, which has
now been in progress for about four
months. will go into history as the
greatest ever fought. No figures have
been given out to show even an ap-
proximate number of the killed, but
as the battel has been a butchery al
most from its beginning, the number
slain must reach up into the hundreds
of thousands. at least Tilts between
Italian and Austrian armies have
been about an offset, first in favor OF
one. then the other. through the week.
But little change has been reported in
the Mexican situation. Fillup dis
patches of all sorts are published
daily. One daily newspaper headed
its news from our Southern neighbor:
Peace Reigns in Mexico With I'm
abated Fury" which was about as good
as anything.
