STATE LAW PROTECTS
The FRUIT GROWER

The horticultural laws of Colorado
require that each bundle of nursery
stock coming into the state shall bear
a certificate of inspection from the
state authorities of the state from
which it is shipped. and also bear
certificate. signed by the shipper, to
the effect that it has been fumigated
with hydrocyanic acid gas.
To enforce this law, eleven coun-
ties have appointed horticultural in
Ispectors, whose duty it is to inspect
all nursery stock upon its arrival in
their respective counties. These men
have the authority to condemn. and
either destroy or order removed. any
diseased o. infested stock and to re-
fuse the admittance of any shipments
that 10 not bear the proper certifi
Gates. In 1909, the first year after
this law went into effect, four per
cent of all nursery stock coming into
Colorado was destroyed on account
of being diseased or infested with in
furious insect pests, but during the
,,ast two seasons only little more
than one percent has been destroyed.
The standard of nursery stock be-
ing received has been raised even
more than these percentages would in
dicate. Such insect pests as the brown
tail moth and San Jose scale have
been intercepted, and the fruit grow
ers have been saved the time and *
pense of setting thousands of trees
diseased with crown gall and hairy
root.
People in counties not having hor-
ticultural inspectors should be very
careful to order only from reputable
nurseries and see that these live up
to the law, especially in regard to
their neighbors as well as to them
selves.
Copies of the horticultural inspec-
tion law can be secured by writing

BABY ak An CITY PARK

A baby elk was born at the City park
this morning and the herd of those
animals now numbers fifteen The lit
tie fellow is a stalwart. healthy ap-
pearing specimen of its kind and is
sure to be q favorite with the chill
dren of the community. Incidentally.
1t may be stated that the elk are
thriving in captivity here and are in
creasing in popularity with the public
as an attractive feature of the park.
The chamber of commerce has made
arrangements with the state game
commission for a couple of deer and
they are expected to be installed as a
part of the zoo here in the course OF
the next week or ten days.

TRINIDAD MAN MAKES
LlBEL0US STATEMENT

ID. S. Moore. manager of the Canon
City Fruit Growers Cooperative as.
sociation. this morning received a
marked copy of the Evening Picket
wire of Trinidad. bearing date Of the
18th inst. in which the following
language. oonspicuously displayed. ap-
peared in four-column advertisement
of the Snodgrass Food company:
Everybody knows that Canon City
strawberries are always put up short
measure Arkansas full quarts are
almost twice as large as Canon City
short quarts. You know that Canon
City's are always junk. dirty. soft.
poor-colored stock; not ht to can and
impossible to make a high grade pre-
serve on account OF the alkaE."
1t is unnecessary to state that there
is no truth whatever in the statement
made in the advertisement OF the
Snodgrass Food company and its
author must have known that IL was
a falsehood when he wrote II. The
allegations made are libelous and
steps Will probably be taken by the
fruit growers associations here TO
compel the publisher of this libel to
make amends for his untruthful and
unwarrantable assertions.

BIG GAME IS INCREASING
WITHIN COLORADO FORESTS

Denver. May ia census of game
animals on the national forests in
Colorado. taken during the past win
ter, showing q general increase over
the 1914 count for all species ex-
cepting antelope. is indicated by a
report submitted by the district for
ester TO the United States biological
survey.
According to the report there are
1871 elk IN the state, an increase OF
IL per cent over the preceding year;
1882 mountain sheep, an increase Of
Is per cent; 25 antelope. a decrease
of II per cent; 2l501 black tailed
deer, 9 per cent increase; 60 white
tailed deer. 20 per cent increase;
1925 beaver. 16 per cent Increase;
1865 black or brown bears, IL per cent
increase; and 126 silver tip bears. an
increase of ] per cent. The decrease
in the number of antelope is ascribed
by forest officers to the fact that the
antelope range is almost wholly with
out the national forests making the
estimate unreliable. 1t is believed,
however. that the total number is
gradually decreasing. due to the fenc-
ing up of former range.
During the past three years 275 head
of elk have been shipped into the
state from the region of the Yellow
stone national park through co-opera.
ton between the biological survey,
railroads, local residents and organi.
cations. and the forest service. Ac.
cording to the district forester. these
shipments have resulted in the growth
of a much heartier interest in game
protection throughout the state.

EXCELLENT INTERPRETATION
OF TANNING OF the SHREW"
BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The commencement festivities of
the Canon City high school reached a
high tide of popular interest Thursday
night in the presentation of the Senior
class play, THE Tanning of the Shrew"
in the opera house. In the matter of
costume, in the adaptation of the
players to their several parts. in the
rendition of each act to bring out the
thought of the author. and in the
happy spirit in which each actor en-
tered into the performance, the class
play of 1916 was the equal, if not the
superior. of any similar production
ever rendered in Canon City.
The crowd was large and followed
with the closest attention the for
tunes of the various players, and often
expressed it's appreciation by liberal
applause. high school orchestra of
eight pieces enlivened the occasion
between acts with some very pleasant
and creditable music.
"The Tanning of the Shrew," as is
well known to those at all conver-
SAINT with the writings of William
Shakespeare, is a pleasant and witty
comedy; the story centering around
Katharine, the daughter of Baptista,
who has a fiery and violent disposi-
ton, and Petruchio. a gentleman of
Verona who weds Katharine and tames
the Shrew.
To attempt to criticize the various
players might lead to an unintentional
injustice on the part of some one. and
suffice it to say that every one CON
nected with the play did nobly. To
properly stage and enact production
of this character creditably means an
immense amount of stldy and prac-
tice and those students who were
selected for this work certainly derI-
'onstrated to the public. not only their
mental talent and training, but also
those qualities of thoroughness and
perseverance which will spell for them
success in the great drama of liie.
To Prof. 7. ID. Harris who has directed
the play is due large part of the
credit for its success.

birth; the babe died shortly after and
both mother and infant were laid to
rest in the same casket. The burial
was in UIa cemetery. Members of
the Eiks lodge. with which Mr.. Lille
was connected. acted as pail bearers
at the funeral. The floral tributes OF
friends in honor of the dead were
