The Cattle Trail Through Colorado


DENVER, June 1.-The Colorado
cattle growers, at an adjourned meeting
to-day. selected a cattle trail from the
New Mexico boundary to the Arkansas
river, on the line indicated in last nights
dispatches. The meeting tomorrow will
complete the trail north. 1t will then be
submitted to the state association. which
meets next Monday. As a plentiful sup
ply of water along the trail is an absolute
necessity, and as the water holes along
the proposed route are owned by mem
bers Of the southern associations, who
affirm most emphatically that the
trail shall not be m~aintainel through
their ranges, the outcome is diff
fcut to ~foresee.

An official communication received at
the navy department announces the dis
cOVery on Rapanni or Easter island, on
the charts in longitude no west and latl-

vast wilderness Of waters of the south Pa

hundreds of miles away from any CONT

Smithsonian institution and the National
museum. Professor Baird says on the
subject. ''In the present advanced state
of chronological science these monuments
are Of the highest Importance. They viii
throw light on the somewhat mysterious
manner in which this island received its
population"
THE discoverers of these remarkabl re-
mains Of prehistoric and an advanced
people ina part ofthe world Synonymous
with cannibalism and savage life were the
officers Of the German gun boat Hyena,
while on a trip from Valparaiso TO the
Samoan islands. The commander Ofthis
vessel, while thus cruising in the south
Pacific, subsequently received orders
from his government to visit Easter Is
land and to secure these specimens.

at the island but few days, but during
that time the German officers made a
considerable collection and cOpiOus
notes. The result of their preliminary
labors have been embraced in pamph-
let, which is reported at the Smithsonian
institution to contain a large amount Of
valuable information.
1t is reported in the accounts given by
the German vessel that the island, which
is small, is streWn with large stone images
and sculptured tablets. The Smithsonian
has offered 81 each for prehistoric skulls
with the lower jaw. The few people, of
POlynesian extraction, who inhablt the
island, know nothing about the sculp-
tured remains found in their midst, and
even tradition gives no account Of a
people living there when their ancestors
arrived The study of these remains

America, Asia Minor, and Egypt would
indeed add to the mysteries Of the pre-
historic world.

Barley, oats and pea straw is frequently
so much broken up by the machine that
it packs closely and occupies far less
space than rye and wheat straw. OF
wheat and rye straw it viii require about
1909 cubic feet of stack room to hold a
ton, and a yield Of twenty-five bushels
per acre may give you ton Of straw.
Occasionally heavy crop Of wheat viii
give one hundred pounds Of straw to
each bushel ofWheat. When wheat, rye,
barley and cat straw are stacked together
IN anything like equal proportions We
shall not be far wrong in estimating, on
the average, half q ton of straw to each
acre. Furthermore, IN such q case 500
cubic feet of space viii be sufficient per
ton. In other words, g stack eleven and
a half feet in diameter viii hold about
an acre to each four feet in height. One
thirteen feet in diameter viii hold an
acre to each three feet in height; one
sixteen feet in diameter viii hold an acre
to each two feet In height; one twenty
feet in diameter viii hold about an acre
to each one and a half foot in height, and
one. tWenty-three feet in diameter will
hold an acre "a half q ton CT straw to
each foot In height. A stack thirty three
feet In diameter will hold one ton Of
straw to each foot In height: one forty
feet viii hold one and a half tons to each
/ foot in height. When you have decided
1 how long a stack to make place a fork in
/ the centre. Tie a string to it, and if the
stack is to be forty feet In diameter tie a
knot In the string twenty feet from the
/ fork, and hold it in your left hand.
/ Spread out the straw on the bottom OF
/ the stack a little farther than 1t ought to
/ be, and then pass around the stack and
] push in the straw with the feet, until the
circumference is twenty feet from the
centre. 1t is little work, and is far better
| than trusting to the eye.
i In building the stack the main point is
/ to keep the middle full and well troddeI
down The chaff and the straw that is
broken UP into small lengths is more
compact than the long straw, and should
be kept in the middle Of the stack
Place the long straw on the outside Of
/ the stack, and also bind it with lOnl
straw j.. 1t is neither safe nor desirable
to tread down the straw on the outside
The lighter it is the more it viii settle
and the better it will shed the rain
This is particularly important after you
commence to build the top.

was sent out from this city Saturday to the
effect that the father of Jacob Romls, Con-
gresham elect from this district, was natu-
rallied in Buffalo, N. Y, but not until the
son was 20 years old, which would make the
Congressman elect ineligible, for he has not
been naturallzed, and that Mr.. Hurd will
contest the seat. Mr.. Romis has been seen
on the subject, and has in his possession the
original citizenship paper for his father, show
ing that the first papers were issued in 1850,
and the final papers in 1852, when he was
10 years old. Mr.. Hurd was also seen, who
said he had decided to contest the election,
but he declined to state on what grounds,
saying notice would be served on Mr.. Romis
within ten days. ..

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.
Wolseley Abandons the Desert Route-R eiief of
Khartoum Delayed.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The news from Egypt
is not of the most satisfactory character. 1t
appears that Wolseley has decided to aban-
don the attempt to reach Shendy by the
desert route from Korti, thus cutting off .
great bend in the Nile. The difficulties of
the way seem to him too great to be sur
mounted by the resources at his command :.
Instead Of the desert route he will use the
road from Merawah to Berber-likewise
through the desert, but much shorter than
the other. He has accordingly changed his
base from Kerti to Meriwah. This change
places the relief of Khartoum two months
further into the. future than was expected.
General Wolseley is far from satisfied with
the arrangements for the expedition, and he
has sent furious complaints to the war office
Of the inefficiency and absolute breakdown
Of the transport and commissary services.
Although . good two months has elapsed
since the pioneer corps left Sarsss, only 500
of the 1000 men composing the full force of
the expedition have reached Korti. The
British ENJOYS have left Korti for the Kabba.
bish and other tribes which are only slightly
attached TO the Mahdi's cause. The ENJOYS
will endeavor to persuade the tribes to enter
into an alliance with the English.
The Admiralty has awakened 10 the fact
that the present facilities for coaling war
vessels at home and at foreign stations arc
not what they ought TO be. 1t has, there
fore, appointed special naval committee to
look into the matter, and has instructed it
to report means to improve the present facil-
titles.

hind the plows IS fast as an advance is made.
Three piows with four engines each arc stuck

have accumulated At the latter point. The
passengers In snow-bound trains receive sup
plies regularly on sleds from the head Of the
