Or. MilIer's Surname.

A few years ago DR.. Austin f. Mill
er plated a townsite about eight
miles from Delta on the North Fork
branch of the Rio Grande and gave it
his surname-Austin. From year TO
year this little town grew and today
is one of the best trading points in
the county aside from being the main
shipping point to and from the Sur
face creek district. And still there is
further prospect in sight for Austin,
especially so if the development of
the oil industry at the Black Canon
dome continues so favorable. Read
will be another point that will be
right in the midst of the oil field.
A million checks a month will soon
be going forward from the bureau of
war-risk insurance to safeguard Am
erica's fighting forces and their fam
lilies. Applications from soldiers and
sailors are near $4,000, 100000.
According to one of the German
forestry journals. the Kaiser. in 1908,
killed 1895 pieces of wild game, in
Guiding 20 stags, elk and roebuck.
At that time he had slaughtered a
total of 6l.73O pieces of game, more
than 4 600 of which were stays, and
was the leading exterminator of wild
life in the world, As slaughterer of
men. women and children. since
1914. however. he has been the fore
most exterminator of human life in
all history.
