RIFLE SHOTS

The rain pattered gently on the dust
saying, 81 IN onto you, and your name
is mud.
Sheriff c. W. Fravert and wife spent
Sunday and Monday at Rifle, returning
to Glenwood Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Fravert is planning to dispose of his
household goods here and may sell the
same at public auction in the near
future.
Charles Shideler was in from his
ranch on Divide creek for the big cat
tie sale which was held in Rifle on
Thursday.
We understand that about thirty
seven armed guards have been station
ed at the Colorado Power company
plant at Shoshone. The soldiers were
brought from Fort Russell, Wyoming,
for the protection of this large enter
prise.
Rifle, for a small town, certainly has
very energetic and up to the minute
business men. The show windows in
most of our business houses would be
great credit in much larger cities. This
fact is deserving of especial mention
and our merchants are to be congratu-
lated.
Do you want 40-acre farm, located
about six miles from Rifle and two
miles from Silt! Will raise good al
falfa crop this year; 4-room house.
isfactory to reliable purchaser. For
full information write E. ]. G., Box

Bob Watson of Piceance creek was
in Rifle Tuesday to take in the Hahne.
wald cattle sale.
Spring work on the farms in this Vi
cinity has been somewhat delayed on
account of the rainy weather. There
has not much garden truck been plant
ed as yet, awaiting more favorable
weather conditions.
The boys from Rifle who attended
the western slope 1. o. o. F. convention
held at Delta last week report splen-
did trip and that the bad weather did
not begin until the celebration was
about over. The convention will be
held at Fruita, Colo, next year.
v. D. Burch, who was brought here
some six weeks ago with sever case
of typhoid fever, returned to Red Cliff
on Tuesday to again take up his work
as carpenter at one of the mines IN
that section.
Next Monday is school election IN
Rifle. Herman Eiche has announced
himself as a candidate and We have
also heard that Messrs. Thad Harp
and Chas. Miller were going to enter
the race. Either of the foregoing
names would make good timber as
members of the school board. Of
course, there may be some dark horses
enter the race for school director.
Some of our people have not yet for
gotten the dark horses of a few years
back. Alfalfa is still scarce and theee
may still be an off-coloroed horse seek
ing good pasture.
We are reliably informed that Rev.
Hutchins, pastor of the M. E. church
of Rifle, is going to start church
newspaper. If the report is true, we
know it will be q good paper, as Rev.
Hutchins is very bright man and
capable of editing = periodical such as
he has planned. We wish him success
in his new enterprise. Not having yet
learned the name of the proposed new
sheet, we feel at liberty to call it "The
Church Organ" may its echoes be
heard all over the civilized world.

includes captured German submarine
and a special steamship armed and
rugged with the latest devices for fight
ing U-boats has been established at a

COURT DISMISSES CASE
AGAINST ADMINISTRATORS

Justice Mccoy of the District Supreme
Court has declined to grant an injunc-
ton sought by Mrs. Florence S. Walter
and her daughters against Stephen H.
Hines and W. r. r. Hines in connection
with suit for an accounting. A rule
had been issued against the defendant
to show cause why they should not be
enjoined from negotiating certain prom
issory notes made by the plaintiff The
court discharged the rule.
The defendants, through Attorney
Charles Poe, presented the notes in
question to the court. showed they had
been cancelled and said there was no
intention of using them in any manner
detrimental to the interests of the
plaintiffs. Shephen H. Hines explained
that Mrs. Walter had implored him to
advance her money and that he had
made advances totaling $4,000. He was
actuated in the transaction with the
widow solely by unself1sh and friendly
motives, Mr.. Hines asserts. She volun-
tarily gave the power of attorney to
him, the defendant says. and executed it
in due form before a notary public.

THINKS U. S. MUST TAKE
OVER FOOD AND INDUSTRY
John Holman, Premier of New South
Wales, Discusses War
Conditions.

NEW YORK. September 14.-Govern-
ment regulation of food supplies and in
dustrles in the United States as neces-
sarN measure for successful prosecution
OF the war was forecast here yesterday
by the Right Hon. John Holman, premier
of New South Wales, who is returning to
Australia after stay of several months
IN Great Britain. He will go to WASH
ington to call on President Wilson.
Discussing conditions in England at
the beginning OF the war. the premier de-
ciared there was much confusion and
profiteerinS.' but changes have occurred
for the better.
England has taken over the factories
and food production, he said. and the
workers are really in the employ OF
the government. receiving regularly
established wages. while the owners OIL
the factories receive only n just profit
on the capitalized value of their plants.
This plan seems to be working Well.
and / have no doubt the United states
will do the same in time.
The premier stated there is no truth
in reports of serious disaffection
among the British people or of any
move to compel peace at this time
My Judgment is" he said, that the
vast majority of the people are reso-
Lutte to prosecute the war and stand be-
hind their rulers in everything to make
democracy safe. OF course, there is Il
minority of pacifists who clamor for
peace. but it is a very inconsderable
minority.
Premier Holman. who has been
leader of the official labor party in
Australia for years. declared that al
though workers in British munitions
plants and other essential industries
are working overtime every day. with
Sunday off every two weeks, there is
no complaint.
Il was asked to address a convention
of laboring men at Sheffield he said.
There they have as many hardShips
as anywhere in the United Kingdom
but that convention passed resolutions
to support the government in the great
struggle without a dissenting vote.
There was, so far as | could find out.
in short time, no fight on conscrip-
tion -

RECORD PRICE FOR SILVER.
Metal Advances to Over 81 an Ounce
Due to War Conditions.

NEW YORK. September 14.-Bar sill
yer. which. due to war conditions, has
been for several months rapidly ad-
vancing in price, today sold at over 81
an ounce. 1t was quoted at $1.005,
which is IN cents over yesterdays
price.
Dollar silver has not been seen IN
many decades. During the war the
price has more than doubled. the metal
having sold at 47A cents an ounce in
November of 1914. The advance is due
largely to heavy Withdrawals of gold
from circulation to meet the financial
situation which the war has developed,
necessitating the substitution of silver.
Production has not been increased and
the supply from some sources has been
curtailed.
