Hlghmore Herald: Last Saturday
morning the people of this city were
startled to learn of the killing by the
west bound passenger of Joseph M.
Healy, II plasterer, who has been work
ing around here for the past two months.
Too much booze caused him to have de-
lirium tremons, and he was killed while
in a fit of temporary insanity.
Farmers in this locality are in the
midst of harvesting and the lndica-
tions are that there will be a good
crop of the early sown grain. The
crops put in late are considerably
damaged on account of hot, dry
weather, Crops in this section, CON-
paratively speaking. are better than
in many parts of the state, and the
yield promises to be above the aver
age. Corn which was very backward,
on account of unfavorable weather,
is reaching skyward and promises to
be far above the average, if an early
frost does not nip it before it ma
lures.

SAN
A month ago the cry went up from
the corn growing section of the coun-
try that rain was badly needed for
the corn and other growing crops.
The rain has fallen and it appears
about all that is necessary now to
insure the maturing of bumper crops
of all kinds is ample sunshine and
high temperatures for 3 few weeks.
OF those things there is almost posi-.
tive assurance for the latter part of
August and the first of September in
this latitude are noted for sunshine
and hot weather.
There has been much discussion nv
local sportsmen as to the date when the
hunting season would open. This was
due to the fact that there was a differ
ence of three days between the federal
and state laws. 1.-THE federal law pro.
vided that the season on game birds
would open September z and the state
law was to the effect that ,the season
would open September 10. At q meet
ing of the legislature last winter. the
South Dakota game laws were amend
ed SO that they conform to the federal
laws. Hunters may now make prepar
atoms to go hunting kboth ducks and
chickens en- September z.

Peoples lease.
A short talk was given by one of
the officers of the company outlining
the purpose of developments and ex-
planning some of the details neces-
sary in the accomplishment of bring
ing a successful gas flow.
The inclement weather prevented
the visitors from spending more
time at the different gas-producing
wells but enthusiasm was manifested
by those present because of the reali-
cation that Valley people have an op-
portunity of developing hitherto un-
used resources at home at low cost

NEW RAILROAD COMING

A new railroad is being built that
will run into Durango from the
south, thence to the San Luis Valley,
thence to Pueblo, and thence-all on
paper.
Rumors of new railroads to enter
the southwestern part of Colorado
have been periodically broadcast but
the Durango Democrat says,
Durango and the entire San Juan
Basin is to have a standard gauge
Southern outlet by January l, 1919,
without any manner of doubt. All
procrastination and equivocation has
at last been done away with. She is
a royal flush fact this time"
A famous practical railroad build
er, NJ B. Rerely, agrees to build the
road and put up 100000 bond as
guarantee of his good faith pro-
vided the San Juan people will do
their part.
1t has long been a matter of con-
lecture why the rich territory COM
prising Southern Colorado should
remain exclusive property of the D
& R. G. A Southern outlet would
not only make this section a wonder
full revenue producer for the railroad
but would enhance the value of every
industry, business enterprise and
piece of land.

NAVY'S PRESENT NEED
is FOR MORE FIREMEN

For sometime past the Central
Navy Recruiting Office for the States
of Colorado and Wyoming, located
at Denver, has been permitted to en-
list only comparatively small num-
Der OF men each month. A recent
telegram from the Navy Department
at Washington has instructed Navy
Recruiting Officers to start in i'm
mediately to make as many enlist
ments as possible in all authorized
branches of the Naval Service.
Men between twenty-one and thir-
ty-fVe, who are physically strong,
are especially needed at the present
time, to enlist as firemen. Men for
enlistment in this rating are not re-
quired to have previous experience
in firing. These men are needed i'm
mediately to man our transports that
will carry our troops to Europe.
This need of firemen for the Navy
IS the country's most pressing need
at the present time, and those men
who prefer the Navy to other branch
es of the service should volunteer for
this call Immediately.
The Navy Recruiting Stations at
Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs.
Trinidad, Durango, Grand Junction.
and Cheyenne, are already beginning
to enlist the first of these volunteers
for the Navy and will continue to in
crease their enlistments daily until
the Navy's needs are filled.

from now until May 1st to
move the $500 cars of potatoes
now in storage in this valley.
and unless the railroad COM
pany delivers more cars than
they are at present the entire
crop cannot be shipped, so get
rid of the bad ones, and ship
only the best.
The large, smooth, mealy po-
tatoes produced in this valley
are par-eXcellent in quality,
and are better cookers and bet
ter keepers than the California
spuds, so the growers must
grade for a high standard and
force the Monte Vista quota
tions up to the price now paid
for California potatoes. And
we will not be doing our duty
if we sit idly by and permit the
outside world to class Monte
Vista potatoes as 25 per cent
poorer quality than California
potatoes. And too, we should
not permit our good high grade
potatoes to sell at 25 per cent
reduction from the California
price, because the outside mar
kets will not justify such a dis
elimination in prices.

FLOUR FOR FRANCE

The Pueblo Flour Mill, r. G.
Breckenridge, manager, finished a
government order Tuesday amount
ing to 100000 pounds of flour This
flour was sent to France for the al
lied soldiers and was sufficient to
feed 100000 men for one day.
The flour is purchased by the
Food Control Corporation, a United
states body which has control of all
foods sent to the allies
While the order is remunerative
one for the mill, it comes unsolicited
and is really a command from the
government.
The government merely sends out
an order which informs the mill
that it has a certain length of time in
which to prepare and ship the requir-
ed amount of flour. This is based
on the capacity of the mill.
When the order. is received from
the government all other contracts
are Immediately dropped or tempo
rarily postponed, and the employees
put to work grinding the grain for
the United States.
The government will probibly keep
all the mills running at capacity in
order to supply the soldiers and the
people of the foreign countries with
sufficient food during the war. The
mills have no choice in the matter
and are forced to accept the orders
and the prices as established by the
government.

COUNTY WILL ENTERTAIN
THE THREE SEYMOURS

INV vi d-i'tC Souiily lldS SOlllS
new boarders and from the
manner in which one of them
in particular is trying to ar
range bail, it is evident that the
accommodations and service at
the Del Norte Jail are not to
their liking.
Sheriff Goad has made two
successful missions to other
parts of the state, returning
safely with w. R. Seymour
(the coloneD from Trinidad on
Tuesday and plotting Mack
Seymour to the county seat
from Greeley on Thursday.
Then, without further delay
aside from a change of linen
and a bath, Mr.. Goad departed
on the evening train for Amar-
lila, Texas, where he knew that
Ed Seymour was awaiting his
coming in a fever of anxiety to
join his brothers. Ed will be
properly decorated with the
iron cross or similar jewelry
for his return trip.
Harry Berry has been
brought to Monte Vista from
the Del Norte Jail on account
of crowded quarters and is be-
ing detained here pending the
opening of the Seymour trials
in the district court. Col. Sey-
mour is said to have threatened
TO blow Berry's head off when
the former gets out of jail.
Fred Aragon, Frank Abila
and Jim Baum have given
bonds for their appearance be-
fore the district court next
month and have been released
from custody.
A trial over the ownership of
an automobile was had before
Judge Hender Wednesday in a
case Of Chris Welendorf VS.. J.
Frank Goad. The trial was
really between Welendorf and
VIM. Ginders, as the car had
been taken by the latter under
execution. Marshal Baird took
the car from Goad under re-
plevin for Welendorf and the
jury decided that Welendorf
was the owner of the car, he
showing checks and receipts
for the purchase of same from
DR.. 1mmenschuh who was the
original owner.
1t seems that DR.. Immen-
Schuh had been unfortunate in
business ventures and was un-
able to meet payments to DR..
Ginders in the purchase of a
veterinary practice, and an ex-
ecution was issued for the auto
in the above case. Welendorf
claims also have advanced
other money to lmmenschuh in
excess of the cost of the car.
