asleep, and his slumbers were 50 refresh

AN OSTRICH RACE.
Huge Birds That Seem TO Cover Fourteen
Feet with Every stride.

Huge Birds That Seem TO Cover Fourteen
Feet with Every stride.
A writer in the Providence Journal gives
some interesting facts in regard 10 an os
trich farm near Los Angeles, Cal, owned
by DR. J. G. Sketchey. He has sixty acres
devoted to ostrichos, having imported thirty
pairs of these birds directly from Africa,
landing them at Galveston, Tex. He also
brought with them four Madrasese men
and women; these people being thoroughly
familiar with the habits Of the ostrich.
Their food is corn and alfalfa, the latter
kind Of California grass, Of which at least
half dozen crops are frequently cut OF tue
same ground in one season. These ostrich
es weigh from 300 10 400 pounds each. The
male bird is black and the female gray,
and they are valuable chiefly for their feath-
ers, the finest Of which sell for s. apiece,
according TO this account, while good, com
mon feathers bring 300 a pound. The
price Of full-grown pair Of birds is from
500 10 $500 and young birds, six months
old, cost from 80 20 600. They are very
long-lived creature, sometimes reaching
the age Of eighty years. The article closes
with the following account Of an ostrich
race:
At a command from the doctor one OF the
Madrasese keepers opened the door Of one Of
the pens, and in response 10 the doctOr's call
two superb ostriches came running 10 him.
After caressing the gentle creatures for
a few moments he showed them a handful
Of figs, Of which they are extremely fond.
Two Of his men then restrained the birds
by placing nooses about their legs until ho
and myself had walked 10 the other end OK
the course. Then, at a signal from the doc
tor, the birds were released, and the race
began. II seemed TO me these birds COW
cred fourteen feet at every stride. Like
the wind they came, their great nccks
stretched forward and upward 10 their ut
most length, their wings, like arms, work
ing with u motion similar TO that made by
their legs, and filling the air with a mighty
sound like the rushing Of a whirlwind.
Nearer and nearer they came, their speed
increasing at every moment, till | was al
most terrified lest they should run us down,
feeling certain. that we could not Withstand
the shock. They kept well abreast for near
ly half the distance, and then one began TO
forge ahead. He steadily increased his lead
till within a few feet Of us, when no turned
his head, and, seeing that his competitor
was considerably in the rear, he slackened
his pace, and, jogging up TO the doctor, re-
ceived h's reward in figs and caresses.

THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST.
And This Rule Applies to News
papers as Well as to Every Other
commodity and Article Of
EHePch a ndiRa

The Denver Republican is the best
newspaper west of Chicago. 1t contains
more information concerning the events
of each day, in every section of the globe,
than any other publication offered to
readers between the great lakes and the
Pacific ocean. The telegraphic service of
the Republican is incomparably compre-
hensive and accurate. Without disposi-
tion to plagarize, it may be truthfully,
said of the Republican, as claimed by
well known and widely read New York
City newspaper, that "whsn you see it in
the Republican it's So" Tho combined
facilities of the full Associated Press and
the United Press render the unfailing
telegraphic report in the Republican full
and complete, over 10000 words being
special telegraphic service adds to this
several thousand words daily and cor
respondent is employed in every import
ant city in the West, while in Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and Ari-
zona, every city and town is supplied
with representative of the paper who is
instructed to communicate by wire every
event of interest.
The care and enterprise which are dis
played in the collection of news from
points outside Denver are equaled in the
gathering Of information in the city.
The same energy which is employed
in the collection OF news is directed
toward its promp publication and dis
semination. The typographical appear
ance of the Republican is conceded to
be the most attractive in the west.
The tone and policy of the Republican
are those of a metropolitan, clean, fear
less, non sensational but enterprising
and vigilant newspaper, published every
day in the year. 1t has no rivals in this
respect, because no other newspaper has
ever maintained SO consistent and
untrammeled course, in speaking what
it believes to be right.
The great expense of publishing
metropolitan journal like the Repu6i-
can is only justified by the fact that the
people Of Colorado and the west apprci-
ate it and believe in the idea Of having
the best Of everything.
In the matter of circulation the
Republican recognizes no rival in the
west. In the language Of Geo. P. Rowel,
the only reliable compiler Of newspaper
statistics, 'it is no doubt the only news
paper in the west that correctly states
its daily circulation" The average daily
circulation of the Republicdw y now
almost seventeen thousand copiss.

The probabilities are that our commo-

John Gordon has returned from Mon

Fred Williams was agreeably surprised
the other night by hosts of friends, who
came to spend pleasant evening after
the completion of his new house. All
were royalty entertained.
j. W. Golladay, our esteemed ditch
rider, is rustler and properly attends
to his business. The other day we found
him closing all the head gates declaring
that he intended to give the people at
the east end domestic water if it took all
winter.
Quite a number of additions to our
district will be made the coming spring,
by substantial farmers moving in and
occupying Mulvane & Co.'s farms. We
generally have plenty of water for irri-
eating purposes. that coupled with rich
soil is quite an incentive, to those who
desire to farm successfully.
The farmers of the north side are at
the mercy Of the range cattle. Cows,
calves, bulls and horses swarm the prairie
in countless numbers and if you are not
careful, they will chase you away from
