THE present period of readjust-

pass through it safely, we have be.
fore us from eight to ten years of
industrial activity equal to any
wave of prosperity we ever have
had. But if there is any serious un.
employment, there-will be a period
of industrial unrest which may lead
us to repitition of the French or
the Russian revolution"
Secretary Lane, of the department
Of the interior, says:
IF congress will appropriate the
relatively small sum which l have
asked for the construction of sol.
dier-settlements in every state in
the Union, l can offer jobs almost
Immediately to 100000 of our re
turned fighting men, thus helping
to stem the tide of Industrial un-
rest predicted by Secretary Wilson; !;
provide farm homes for 25,0O0 of
these men, thus mitigating the evils
of tenantry. and bring into cultiva-
tion 100000 acres of at present un-
productive land, thus helping to
make up the deficiency in the rate
of growth of cultivated land as COM

Sustained in Operating Mills.
A suit was filed on Friday. the
28th day of February, by The Den

company against the IntermOun-
tain Railway, Light and Power
company for $23,33l.9S says the La
mar Daily News of last Friday. The
Alfalfa company alleges that 1t has
been damaged by the electric light
company by reason of the electric
light company failing and being un-
able to furnish power for running
the alfalfa mill at KOrnman.
The plaintiff further alleges that
the alfalfa company was induced by
the electrif. company to remove the
81 ,am plant which they had for
generating power, and install the
electric plant, and that the electric
company assured them that they
would be furnished ample power
when ever they needed it for rum

there was not sufficient power fur

OF lack of power for period of 827

The alfalfa company further
claims that 1t is absolutely neces-
sary on account of the failure of the
electric light company to furnish
them power that they change back
to steam. The damage of $23, ,33l .98
is claimed to arise from the cost OF
dismantling their old steam equip
ment, and then again dismantling
the electric equipment and rein
stalling steam, and from inability to
grind and sell the alfalfa meal which
1t could have ground and sold had
power been furnished.
The alfalfa company further
prays the court to be released from
the contract which they have with

The following news item is taken
from recent issue of the Denver
Post. If it is true that such
woman and eight children are any
where in this neighborhood they
ought to be looked up by the Red
Cross or some other benevolent So
city that provision may be made
for their needs. The Chieftain has
not up to this time heard of any
such cases of Strengthened circum-
stances anyhere in this section,
though the Posts story may be
geuine. If any one knows anything
about it will they please telephone
The Chieftain at once, that it may
assist in relieving these people?

Never was cause more worthy
unless it find a duplicate nearer

And nearer home is a down.and-

need is great, and so am writing
to ask you If the good people OF
Denver will gather some old clothes.

to me for my eight children, who

Readers of The Chieftain
were doubtless disappointed
last week when they found
the usual installment of THE
Light in the Clearing" the
splendid serial story now ap-
pearing in. the paper. Well,
the management of The
Chieftain was disappointed
too. Moreover, we were peev
ed.
The why of all this is that
The Chieftain buys this
story already printed as a
matter OF convenience and
economy. The publishing
house from whom this story
service is purchased sent it
out by parcels post absolute
ly on time, but the pOstoffice
department carried it on by
Holly to Denver or elsewhere
and the shipment did not
get back to Holly until Fri
day, after The Chieftain had
been mailed. The publishers
of the story. The Western
Newspaper Union at Wich- :
ita, mailed the shipment
right on the dot and The
Chieftain did it's level best
to furnish the installment as
usual but the mail service
failed us.
However, this week two in
stallments of the story are
going out, so that every read
er will get the full story.
How do you like this story
any way? Isn't it a good one?
1t is to be hoped that the de-
lay in getting your last
weeks installment may make
you appreciate it the more.
