touch with him.
This Columbian is a poultry fancier
not that he is interested in poultry
Tor exhibit purposes, but for the
pleasure he gets out of the industry
and for the profit it brings in dollars
and cents.

WILL GROUND
HOG SEE HIS
SHADOW TODAY?

Weather conditions for the next
six weeks are absolutely dependent
upon whether the ground hog will see
his shodow today or not. That is, if
you believe in signs.
Tradition declares that on February
2 the ground hog comes out of his
hole, and if the sun is shining, and
if he is thus enabled to see his shadow
he goes right back again, convinced
that there will be six weeks more Of
winter.
On the other hand if the proverbial
hog fails to see his shadow it is GER
tain Of the APPROACH of spring and
he stays out TO enjoy it.
All of which after all is lot of
bunk, in our opinion. But anyway
it will be interesting to see if he sees
his shodow or not.

POPULATION OF
COLUMBUS 1861
Survey Made and Estimated
Population Given Out by
Newspaper Bureau.

In an estimate of the population Of
the leading cities Of the United
States made by the Newspaper Fea-
ture Bureau Columbus population i
given at sol.
i This shows an estimated increase
in population of 1850 since the Of
flcial census was taken last Febru-
ary. The official population Of the
city as Of February /, 1920 was TO-
SOL.
The survey on which the estimate
of this city's population is based on
comparative figures of public school
enrolment and domestic water SER
vices for the close of 1919 and 1870.
Reports Of Columbus public school
enrolment as given in by Prof. ]. C.
Meadows. superintendent of city
schools, show that the total enroll
ment at the close Of 1919 was 1869.
as compared with an enrolment of
2,2OS at the close of 1920, an increase
of $3.50 or ia per cent.
The estimated increase in popula-
tion made by the bureau is probably
excessive to some extent on account
of the operation of the compulsory
school law which went into effect last
August. This forced many children
into school who had not previously
been attending, and their enrolment
had no appreciable effect on popula-
ion.
But that there has been a healthy
and steady growth in the city's popu-
alton during the past twelve months
here is no doubt.

Bu... !. Country

On Tuesday morning at about $50
o'clock, the farm residence occupied
by the Martin Van Voorhis and David
Easterly families was discovered to
be on fire in the roof. evidently hav-
ing caught from sparks from the
chimney. The house is the old Corn
wall house on the old w. A. Gillaspey
ranch, on Ohio Creek.
Martin and David were just coming
to the house from milking and the
first attack on the fire was the buck
cts of milk. Mrs. Van Voorhis inn
mediately telephoned to the near
neighbors for help, and in a very
short time 81 men were on the ground
and with the formation of three wa
ter lines of buckets the fire was soon
extinguished.
The damage to the building was
something over $1,000 and it is likely
that 500 would cover the damage to
contents. mostly confined to water
damage. Seven hundred dollars in
surance was carried on the building,
but nothing on the contents.
EARLY discovery of the blaze and
prompt action by the neighbors, due
to the ever ready auto, saved very
heavy loss.
An exssperating feature of the af-
fair was the fact that when the
house was discovered to be on fire
Mrs Van Voorhis asked central to
advise the near neighbors of the
trouble, but was told that such action
was against the rules and she would
have to make the calls herself. She
finally got j. H. Eilebrecht's daugh-
ter to make the calls and devoted
her own time to saving her house
hold goods. 1t is probably the fact
that such rule exists, but it seems
darned poor one to apply in case of
such an emergency. In the face of
the fact that anyone except central
had to look up numbers and file a
separate call for each, while central
could spread the news with single
talk over a party line, it looks like
bum rule in rural districts at least.

The Searchlight Oil & Mining Co.

Bannock street, opposite Overland

install retort with daily capacity
of fifty tons from which they will re-

By government examiners it has
been declared they have at last found
the fast dyes. which has been used
by the Germans in their dye making,
in this shaie, md 1t has withstood
the boiling water test on a number
of different colors.
The management has considered
the question thoroughly and are con-
WINGED that it will be much easier
to erect the plant in Denver than in
DeBeque, as they will utilize every
the beds and they can ship the raw
material much cheaper than the fin

technical and scientific men are much

The company figures that it will

the plant there. Their stock is now
sailing at 5O cents per share and af-
ter all the machinery is installed it
will be worth great deal more, as
it is fully expected to pay handsome
dividends when the factory is work.
