There has been some effort to
prove that the ''rain- belt" in eastern
Colorado, which is now attracting SO
much attention among all classes is
no rain-belt at all, and that the crops
grown there during the season which
has just passed were due TO the ma
ture of the soil rather than 10 the
supply of rain. The Platte Valley
Record, proves that this is not the
case, or at least that the rainfall was
ample. There was, the Record says,
plenty of rain during the months of
March and April. Corn that was
planted early came up and grew rap
idly from the start There was less
rain during the fore part of May than
might have been wished for; yet
none but those who were on the
highest and dryest land suffered for
want of rain. A good rain fell on
the 7:h of May, aud on the 27th,
there WAS a heavy soaking rain which
extended over a large scope of coun-
try, making the ground too wet tn
plow in many places. There were
numerous showers during the fore
part of June, but no heavy rains un-
til the 26.h, and on the Goth the
heaviest rain fell that had ever been
witnesse,. by many of the oldest set
tiers. 1t commenced at four O'Clock
in the afternoon and listed for about
two and half hours, during which
time the rain fell in torrents. Dur
ing the month of July, when rain is
most needed to mature the corn crop
as well az all others, was the time of
the heaviest rainfall. 1t rained on
twelve days during the month of
July. There were also good rams
during August. Hence it would
seem that the productiveness of the
soil in eastern Weld county is not
solely due to its character and capa-
city for retaining moisture. The re-
cord above given, if it can he repeat
ed in future years, insures sntficien,
rains to produce good crops any
where. What we are hoping for,
especially in Denver, is that The rain
belt may take Horace Greeley's ad-
vice and come West, and aid the
country in growing up Journal of

AN INDUSTRIAL FAIR.

Farming, gardening, poultry.rais-
ing fruit growing, bee culture and
butter making may be said to be still
in their infancy in southern Colorado
and yet they have advanced suffici-
emily to be important, to promise
great future development, and to de-
serve fostering. The breeding of
fine stock is also only fairly under
way, but Colorado is nothing if not
adapted to that. The altitude and
climate, like that of Montana, is es-
pecially favorable tor growing horres
of great endurance. The manufac
turing and smelling industries Of
Pueblo are conspicious for their
magnitude, especially in iron and the
precious metals. In view of the facts
here outlined, nothing could be more
appropriate than for this city and the
counties tributary, to join hands and
organize a Southern Colorado In.
dust-ial association. The subjec,
has been touched upon in these col.
umns at intervals for year or more
past. 1t is now being generally dis
cussed among business men, and a
goodly number of influential citizens
have spoken approvingly of it. The
organization ought tobe accomplished
without delay, and ample time will
then be had for giving an exhibition
in the fall of next year, Pueblo
Review.

In successful town building unity
of action, harmony in effort, concord
in council are required as much AZ
stupendous effort, sleepless energy
and peerless endeavor. If bitterness
of feeling is permitted to prevail for
any considerable time failure is alb
solutely certain. In addition to the
requisite named there is something
else necessary. There must he di-
recting mind and watchful vigilance
on the part of some one. Failures
almost invarioly result in the want
of a controlling mind and energy in

Gar Wheels.

"There are more than 10000, 900
iron car wheels in use on American
railroads." said the master mechanic
of one of the trunk lines, land it re-
quires about 525 pounds of pig iron to
make one wheel. About 1853 900
wheels are worn out every year, and
the same number of new ones must
be made to take their places. The
iron men are called upon for only a
small proportion Of the 3l2,500 tons
of material required for these new
wheels, however, for nearly 100000
tons are supplied by the WORKOUT
wheels themselves. Formerly the
life of a car wheel was estimated at
eight years, but the reduction of the
railroads generally to the standard
guage, and the improvements in load
ing and unloading facilities. have ma
terially decreased the length of SER
vice that wheel may be depended
on to perform. The uniformity in
guage keeps cars IN more continuous
use, while the increase in the time of
loading and unloading enables them
to be put to more active service.
These figures do not INCLUDE the
wheels on palace and coaches and the
better class OF passenger coaches. The
wheels on that grade of rolling stock
are now made almost exclusively of
paper. They are as seryiceab!e as
hon, and combine lightness with
strength. a great 6esideratum where
speed and economy in motive power
are of paramount importance"
