Rush |. Holland Resigns as
Chairman Of Republican
State Committee
VIVIAN A GOOD LOSER

Denver, Feb. l7.-George l.. Shaw
Of Fort Collins was elected chairman
of the Republican state central com
mittec at meeting of the committee
members here today. Shaw received 70
votes. John +. Vivian, Of Golden, the
only other nominee, received so votes.
AS soon as the result of the election
was announced, Mr.. Vivian moved that
The motion was carried unanimously.
A motion was then unanimously car
ried that the chairman-elect be author
lied to appoint a secretary
The election followed the resignation
of Rush L. Holland of Colorado
Springs, an appointee of President
Harding in, the United States depart
ment of justice. Mr.. Holland said that
his duties in Washington made it ad-
visable to elect new chairman.
The election was preceded by several
heated suggestions favoring and op-
posing both candidates, in which For
mer Governor George A. Carlson, Chas.
Moynahan of Montrose, J. j. Vickroy
of Denver, and others participated.
Moynahan, in nominating Shaw, de-
clared that Vivian had failed to sup
port Governor Shoup while Vivian was
registrar of the state land board when
a question arose over the proposed sale
of state prison farm at Avondale.
Moynahan also intimated that "this
bipartisan machine" was trying to
" "hoodwink us bushwhackers." His
remarks were heartily challenged by
Vivian. Former Governor Carlson and
j. F. Mayes of Colorado Springs spoke
in favor of Vivian.

said Of Shaw. "Why wouldn't We
bef He's young able, ambitious, with
out a political enemy in the state and
with lots of friends. He's the sort Of
leader that ought to and will rally all
Republicans and with unified party
nothing but victory is possible.
"Factionsy There are no factions
in the Republican party" said Shaw.
:" Republicans are in harmony, and
will continue to be in harmony because
they know the states needs and will
insist upon having an administration
with definite, constructive policy
and of course that means Republican
administration. All those really inter
ested in Colorado know that the vel
fare of the state largely depends on
having Republicans in office, and
am going to try to help them to have
Republicans.
"The Republican party is the only
one which offers definite policy of
state and federal administrations seek
ing to rehabilitate the country from
the harm done as result of Demo
cratic errors. Difficult as this task is,
it is being accomplished and 1 am con-
fident that the voters of Colorado will
resent any attempt to prevent the Re-
publican administrations from accomp-
fishing the work of reconstruction they
now have well under way.
"1'm from farming country, and
I believe know and appreciate the
needs and the condition of the farmer.
OF course the Republican party is the
farmers party-it is the only one
which offers him anything. The great
est mass of legislation ever passed for
the advancement Of farming interests
has been under Republican admin
istration. We welcome all right.think-
ing voters into the Republican organ
ization, but as for the farmer, We are
sure of him. There is no place for the
farmer except in the Republican party"
Shaw announced that the Republican
state assembly for the designation Of
candidates for the primary in septem-
ber will be held at the Auditorium in
Denver the week Of Aug. 8. The num-
Der Of delegates will be 1,02s, An in
fcrease of eighty-nine over 1920.

FARMERS LOSE
FOUR MILLIONS

That the farmers of Colorado lost
~ 100000 in 1921 because of unfair
and discriminatory freight rates is the
statement of Harry Casaday, well
known politician and head Of an alfal-
fa milling concern in Boulder county.
The rate on most farm products, he
said, is a distinct discrimination
against the Colorado farmer, and of
the 30,000,00O bushels of wheat which
Colorado produced last year much had
to be exported at freight rates which
made profit prohibitive.
+" Colorado farmers paid 56h cents
a bushel to ship their wheat to Gal
veston,' he stated. The distance is
,l09 miles Omaha, which is 1888
miles from Galveston, paid 80 cents a
bushel. Minneapolis, which is 400
miles distant from Galveston, paid
371s cents Il bushcl. Had the freight
rates from Colorado to the gulf port
been equalized with those from Omaha
and Minneapolis, there would have
been *4,000,o00 more in the farmers ;
pockets. Think what that amount Of
money would mean to them.
"The railroads no longer make the
rates" Mr.. Casaday said. '.Every
thing is done through the Interstate
Commerce commission. The rates were
changed during tho war and have new
er been put back. What we want is
tho same differcntial as before the
war. If it enabled people to profita-
bly, move produce then it will do it
now."

UGLY SNoWSLIDE
TAKES FOUR LIVES

Denver, Feb. 19.-Four employees Of
the Denver and Salt Lake railroad
were killed when snow slide struck
an engine belonging to that road near
Corona, Colorado, early this morning.
The men were swept down a canon 700
feet deep, and the bodies have not been
recovered.
Those killed were Paul Paulson Of
Denver, assistant roadmaster of the
railroad; William Mongonais, Sec
tion foreman; his brother, George
Mongonais, section laborer, and
George Karnabas, q section laborer.
A. 9. Cane and Thomas Conway ,en-
sineer and fireman respectively on the
engine, escaped with serious injuries,
and were taken to their homes in Tab
ernash, Colorado. Attending physi-
clans said they would recover
The engine had helped the east
bound train over the Continental divide
and started back to Tabernash. Eight
miles west of Corona, Colorado, a sta
tion on the Continental divide, the
engine ran out of water as a result of
the hard work of bucking snow that
had piled on the tracks by previous
slides. The engine was stopped and
the four men who were killed got out
to shovel snow into the tank. The
engineer and fireman got inside the
tank to distribute the snow, and it was
to this that railroad officials attribute
their escape.
The slide swept the engine from the
track and into the canon The engine
turned over twice on the way down,
but the men inside were protected by
the walls of the tank. Officials here
tonight said that it was probable
neither the bodies>n nor the engine could
be recovered before spring.

are now in better shape to offer terms
on their land than they were last year
and the requirements of prospective
buyers generally are being met.
During the months Of November and
December the immigration department
received more inquiries than during
any other two months of 1921, and
though advertising for 1929 has not
yet begun, inquiry still continues reas-
onably heavy.
1t is apparent that farmers, as well
as business and professional people,
have begun to recover from the shock
that struck them with the beginning
of price recessions in 1920 and are
now prepared to take up and carry
through their plans for finding new
locations that they had about formed
when the money stringency began. The
inquiry from business and professional
people has been especially heavy.
Among the districts that show the
most noticeable signs Of recovery in
immigration are the San Luis valley
and the Western Slope. Several new
farmers have moved into the valley
since the first Of the year and have
established themselves on farms they
had previously purchased or contracted
for. Reports also indicate that several
additional families will move into tho
valley before the planting of crops be-
gins. Most of these newcomers are
purchasing irrigated land, which they
will begin cultivating at once. This
valley has perhaps more uncultivated
irrigated land than any other district
in the state and prices at which it is
being offered are low. People in other
states are beginning to recognize the
high character Of opportunities offered
here and are taking advantage Of them.
There was considerable movement of
homeseekers to the Western Slope dur
ing the last few weeks of 1921 and in
.quiry concerning this district now is
good. Irrigated land also is to be had
here at reasonable prices and on favor
able terms. There has been much in
quiry at all times about homestead
land west of the divide, but the char
acter of the homestead land now re-
naming open to entry is such a. to
discourage even the most ardent home
steaders

California Marketing conlpa-
ny will Enter Local Field
This Season
,n
SAYS TERRITORY IDEAL

Will Glenwood benefit by the expert
ence of a number of other Colorado
localities that are making q success
and rapidly adding to their bank de-
posits by the growing and marketing
of head lettuce, q crop for which there
is practically unlimited market at a
price which makes its culture very
profitable if the crop is handled in
an intelligent manner and under the
direction of those who are familiar
with the crop and the most successful
methods of growing and marketing the
same.
This Week L. Maddox, a prominent
canteloupe grower Of Rocky Ford, Wis
tied Glenwood and Carbondale in the
interest of The Fruit Distributors
Co., Inc, of California, an organiza-
tion with which he has been employed
for several years, and after making q
nasty examination Of the Roaring
Fork valley Mr.. Maddox gave it as
his opinion that this section would
prove ideal for the culture of head
lettuce of excellent quality, and sug-
sested that he believed our people
were missing a splendid opportunity if
they further neglected this crop which
has proved so profitable in many other
Colorado sections.
The people whom Mr.. Maddox repre-
sents are heavy shippers of cante-
loupes, lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage,
and fruits from California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado and Idaho, and
they believe Garfield county contains
much good head lettuce territory.
When Mr.. Maddox was advised of
the report that the altitude in this Sec
ton is not sufficient for the best re-
suits in lettuce culture, he said he
believed lettuce could be successfully
grown in any of the territory above
Glenwood, and that his company was
ready to cooperate with any of our
farmers and gardeners who would like
to increase their annual revenues by
means of this profitable crop.
1t Is the purpose of the company to
furnish the growers with the best seed,
supply the crates, furnish cultural in
structions and send = man to the terri
tory to supervise the work so that q
good and salable product may be
placed on the market, product that
will command the best price possible.
Because of the unfavorable weather
and the bad road conditions At the
time of Mr.. Maddox q visit he was not
able to make q careful examination Of
the territory, but he interviewed .
number Of the farmers, who are con
sidering the matter favorably, and he
left the matter with A. j. Dickson.
who for some time has been inyesti-
eating this and some other industYies
IN desire to help toward bringing to
this section some profitable industry
which is different from those we have
heretofore depended upon exclusively.
Mr.. Dickson has taken the matter
up with tho company in California,
and expects to have more definite in
formation on the subject in a very
short time, and he will then be glad to
advise with our people in regard to
the matter, and make contracts with
those desiring to engage in the new
industry.

LIQUID Air for Cracking Nuts.

Liquid air for cracking nuts is the
latest application Of science. Experts
Of the national bureau Of standards
were appealed to for method Of
breaking the shells Of the chicha nuts,
without damaging the kernels. They
found that 1t took weight Of nearly
a ton to crack the nuts, and that after
that effort the meat Of the nut was
broken In many small pieces.
Then they applied liquid air to the
problem. They did not freeze solid n
piece Of rubber and use 1t for ham,
mer, as is done in the classic stunt Of
physics classes, but they simply I'M
mersed the nuts in liquid air for 30
seconds and cracked them easily, with
out damaging the kernels. Now the
physicists are trying to find out whetf-
er this method can be applied COM
mercially on large scale.
Chicha nuts are grown In South
America. Their dense strong shells
were used during the war to make
charcoal for gas masks and the oil
from the kernels Is valuable food,
similar to coprn.-Science Service.

to reach Pendeton on the pendietOn

dlet0n when one Of those things that
happen to motorists so frequently on
country roads happened. 1t was the
day after heavy rain and the ground

luck, assisted by elbow grease, tic
automobile was rescued from the mud
hole and the party about-faced to In

other route to Pendleton.
A small country boy came to the
door and seemed very reluctant to
give information as to the condition
of other roads leading to Pendleton.

was asked.
"Sure, they all have been goln'

piled the boy with deep frown.
