Redbird and Thoroughbred.

Judge Walbridge claims that he has
the finest span of roadsters in Routt
county, aged respectively 5 and 6 years,
says the Pilot. The judge drove 1900
miles during the months of May and
June, and some days sixty miles with
out apparently firing or Sweating his
horses. He fed hay daily and two quarts
of oats each morning and evening, and
three times day when driving. Was
in Utah and Wyoming on his trips and
arrived safe at home "a Steamboat
Springs on the first day of July. The
judge holds that no horse can be driven
rapidly on grass feed in the summer
season and endure the hot weather
travel without weakening, but to Ell.
dure travel daily on long distances the
horse must be fed hay and oats regu.
larry daily, and that it is not the rapid
driving that hurts the horse but the
abuse of the animal in feeding

\ Sensible Opinion.

When hard times come and the prun-
ing knife is put into the expense ac-
count the newspapers of community
are the first to suffer. At the same
time they are expected to go right along
as before, fighting the battles of the
people and doing all in their power to
remedy the existing state of affairs.
People say that that is what they are in
community for and what the public
expects of them, which is all very true,
but they should not be expected to
make very hard fight on an empty
stomach. 1t is good deal like soldiers
throwing away their guns in the midst
of a battle to neglect to properly sup
port the newspapers of the west during
this great fight for justice to silver
Aspen Times.
THE HERALD endorses the above re-
marks, and considers the point well
taken. Do you see the point?
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1893-08-05
The Editors Dun.

Most men think that newspaper men
are persistent dunners. BY the way of
comparison, let us suppose a farmer
raises one Thousand bushels of wheat a
year, and sells this to one thousand per
sons in all parts of the country, the
greater portion Of them saying, Il will
hand you dollar in a short time" The
farmer does not want to be small, and
says all right. Soon the one thousand
bushels are gone, but he has nothing to
show for it, and he then realizes that he
has fooled away his whole crop, and its
value is due him in thousand driblets
consequently he is seriously embar-
raSsed in his business, because his debt
ors, each owing him one dollar, treat it
as a small matter and think it would
not help much. Continue this kind OF
business year in and year out as the
publisher does, how long would he
stand it? y moments thought will
convince anyone that publisher has
cause for persistent dunning. When
you read this, think how much Yop
owe the editor, then sit right down and
enclose the amount in letter, register
it and start it to US. Your conscience,
if you have such a thing about You, will
be easier for year at lCast.-FaYette

Rally to The G.. A. II.

The New York Press proposes to
send as its guests to the worlds
fair fifty Union veterans, members Of
regular Grand Army posts, who are to
be selected by the readers of the Sun
day Press. This proposition is made
as an evidence of the esteem and graft
tude in which the Press holds the men
who imperiled their own lives TO save
this nation.
Each of the chosen veterans will be
the guest of the Press from the mo-
ment the train leaves New York until
its return, and the journey will be
timed to include full weeks sojourn
in Chicago, with all expenses paid, in
Guiding daily entrance to the grounds
of the exposition.
All G. A. r. veterans in good stand
ing are eligible. They may come from
any town, city, state or territory over
which the Stars and Stripes proclaims
its government.
The selection of the fifty favorites
will be made on the ground of popular
ity, their popularity to be voted by bal
lots printed in every issue of the Sun
day Press,

The DarkcY Tumblcd.

Theodore Hallam was standing on
the steps OF the Covington postofiice
yesterday, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, when an old colored man came up
and, touching his hat, asked:
kin you tell me, is dis de place
where dey sells postage stamps?'
Yes, sir; this is the place. replied
the lawyer, seeing a chance for little
quiet fun, but what do you want with
postage stamps, uncle ?''

"Well, then, you needn't bother about
stamps; you don't have to put any on

'Whyfor not"
well, you see, the conglomeration of
the bypothenuse has differentiated the
parallelogram so much that the consan-
guinity don't emulate the ordinary ef-
fervescence and so the government has
decided to send letters free"

Oh, For a Whit of Pure Air.

Mr.. A. C. Moulton is in receipt of a
letter from w. +. Dendy, who is now at
Aida, Neb., and THE HERALD is per
mitted to give publicitY,to the follow
ing extract
"What wouldn't give for Whit of
Colorado mountain air Just now? This
is the most cursed country to live in |
ever saw. If life is prolonged by living
at a low altitude | prefer an early death
in the mountains. We have
most splendid prospects for corn crop,
but if rain does not fall this Hast week
and the hot winds continue, l think
it will be ruined"
Since the above was peuned it has
rained copiously in the vicinity of Aida
and the corn crop will come through all
right, which insures better demand
for western feeders this fall.
Mr., Dendy is like everybody else who
gets away from this section-it doesn
take them long TO discover that White

Nyeathcr-Crop Bulletin,

Following is the report of the Colo
rado weather service for the week end
ing last w Wednesday:
The copious showers over most of the
state have been decidedly beneficial to
all vegetation, and will reclaim some
crops thought to be permanently in
jured. Rains in the mountain districts
were unusually heavy, wa}hing out rail
road tracks, interrupting communica-
ton. Native grasses show much i'm
provement since last report. Those
timely rains will help growth of second
alfalfa crop very much. Over portions
of the northeast quarter of the state
wheat harvest has begun.

Water Needed ut Four Mile.

\ party from GlenwOod went pros
pecting up in the Four Mile country
some time ago, says an exchange. They
had a gold machine with them for the
purpose Of testing the placer ground in
that section, and after thoroughly in
vestigating matters write as follows to
friends at Glenwood;
This is a great country, if vuu don t
care what you say. There is plenty of
gold, but no water, and the gold lays OH
top Of the ground. 1t pays better on
top than at bedrock. There is nothing
going on at -Four Mile. There is no one
working there. We found gold that
would run } cents to the pan, but it is
fifty miles from water. \ man is doing
pretty well if he gets enough to drink.
We 90 from ten to twenty miles with
ont striking water and then it is mud
hole or alkali. We have been up the
,5"~or,. -iyoI ia Wyoming, but it is all
taken up, aud on the Four Mile you
could not get IN inch of surface there,
and the ditch has not started yet. The
river, its prospects are the best.
1--WE set the machine up at -Four
Mile on the Denver company's ground
and run one yard of DIRT and run 81,
That is all the gold we have so far, but
we are not going to give it up until we
prospect the country thoroughly and
