White River Potatoes.

Since the first settlers on White river
began agricultural pursuits it has been
known that the valley was more than
favorably adapted to potato raising.
and each succeeding year has but added
to the knowledge CLEANED at the first
harvesting, until now the fame of the
valley in this line has gone beyond its
borders. OF course nobody has gone
into the tuber business beyond supply
ing the local demand, which is limited,
but it has been considered advisable to
let people on the outside know some
thing of our possibilities in the potato
rs well as other lines of industry, and
acting on this principle, \. G. Moulton,
at the suggestion of a few of our wide
awake citizens, filled number of sacks
with the different varieties raised here
and sent them to Ex-Governor Evans of
Denver, some time ago, with the request
that he put them in channels where
their qualities would be thoroughly
tested. Mr.. Evans, as most of our re,,d-
ers are aware, is the man who prohcted
and built the Denver & South Jhrk and
the Denver 4 Fort Worth railroads,
and is now at the head of the company
that has the Denver and Salt Lake
Short Line project under way, and as
such he is man whose ear we wish to
reach.
Last week Mr.. SIoulton received an
autograph letter from Mr.. Evans, ac-
knowledging receipt of the potatoes,
and after thanking the former for
bringing one of the fruits of our soil to
his notice in such convincing way,
interest in the White River valley as
the country through which our Denver,
Salt Lake & San Francisco railroad is
to run, anything that shows the
richness of the country on its route is
especially interesting TO me-"
From the above sentence it is safe to
infer that Governor Evans and his
company will not overlook Aeeker when
they come to build the Short line.

1t is rumOred that Judge Rucker has
ordered the county seat of Routt to be
removed from Hahn's Peak to Hayden.
The report lacks confirmation from any
of the Steamboat or Craig papers, and
as no hearing of the controversy mas
yet been had it looks as If one of Glen |
woods editors is getting very visionary
of late. However, the county seat of
the largest county in the state should
be put at some accessible place.

On one occasion bear caught a
rabbit between a brier patch and
a swift river, and the bear decided
to put the rabbit to death. The
rabbit could not swim and knew
that he would be a goner if thrown
into the river. He also knew the
obstinacy of the bear, and at once
commenced to beg the bear not to
throw him into the brier patch,
where he would be scratched to
death by the thorns, but to hurl
him into the river. The bear
chuckled little while and then
tossed Mr.. Rabbit into the brier
patch, the very Place he wanted to
60, and as the story goes the rab-
bit knowing that he was perfectly
safe among the briefs, sat upon
his launches, put his thumb to
his nose and wiggled his fingers
in derision at the bear. The Su-
gar Trust, it appears, is as cunning
as the rabbit, and by circulating a
statement that they would suffer
if the sugar were to go into effect
Immediately upon the passage OF
the bill, they fooled the Senate in
to SO amending the schedule. II
now transpires that this in the
very thing the Sugar Trust wan
ted the Senate to do, as it has
about 50O,OOO,O00 pounds of sugar
on hand on which they wish tC
get the benefit of the tariff of one
cent a pound. This sugar came
in free of duty, under the Mckin-
ley law and the one cent duty will
be clear gain. The Sugar Trust
is a very smooth concern.-States

The United States troops have
broken the backbone of the strick-
ers. The stricking railroaders re-
alize by this time that while they
have a perfect right to quit work,
they have no right and will not be
permitted to boss and control
other peoples property. Neither
will they be permitted to assault
those who are willing to work and
to destroy property. Labor should
and must be protected, but they
can never expect to command and

ANOTHER SHOOTING.


ar unfortunate affair, which hap
pened in the upper part OF this
parish Saturday night last at a
ball-in which a young boy aged
12 years old lost his life.
The reprehensible habit OF car
rsing concealed weapons is very
largely practiced in that sectlon'
in fact, we hardly believe that any
of those people go to any ball or So
cial gathering without being first
loaded with the death dealing in
strument. Those people seem to
think it is a great trait of bravery
for a man to pull his gun on the
least provocation, without reason
ing. What heroic deed, for a
young fellow to brandish his shin
ing revolver in a crowd OF men,
women and children?
Will the sheriff and other Otfi-
GERS make it their duty to make
affidavits against those who vIo-
late the law and carry concealed
weapons?
The particulars we have obtain
ed in this affair are as follows:
Young Numa Angelic, who is
aged only about Is years had a
difficulty with some one at the be-
ginning of the ball, but no blows
neither any display of fire arms
was made. Later in the night
some other people got into trou-
bic and were about to settle their
difficulty in the yard, when all at
once young Angelic fired in the
crowd, wounding the young boy, a
Melancon, whose given name we
failed to obtain, in the back, in
flicting a mortal wound.
Another version says the shoot
ing was entirely accidental-that
young Angelic wanted to buy the
revolver from a friend and had
the weapon on trial; that at said
ball he was about to hand back
the revolver to its owner when il
went off accidentally, wounding
the boy.
A preliminary trial of young
Angelic commenced Thursday
morning. Several witnesses were
heard, giving very damaging evi-
dence against the young men
Other witness were summoned tC
appear Monday, when the examin'
alton will be resumed. The pri.
soner was sent to Jail.

LET US ALL GO!

Readers of the MESSENGER have
no doubt, by this time, seen the
program arranged, and to be pre-
sented to public favor next month
at the College Hall, by our anna
teurs. In it's perusal it will be
noticed that the program compri-
Sos many novel features, which,
we are in a position to assure our
readers will be we'll worth seeing.
Among them, the Gamblers
Wife," with brilliant and life
like scenic effects, we feel conf
dent. will be acknowledged the
most telling and effective moral
that has ever adored a most sad
tale. This of itself will be worth
fully the price Of admission, and
yet this is but one of the num-
bers.
If we we're not bound to secresy
we wound tell our readers of an
other feature; one that is sure to
create a big hit, and our readers
would so agree, il we would "let
the cat out of the bag" But it is
far better that they should enjoy
the pleasurable sensation that will
be sprung upon them without pre-
vious warning.
Although these two features are
| of themselves, more than suffi-
cient to repay one for attending,
they are by no means all of the
"good things" that will be pre-
sented.
Not only is the program of suf-
ficent interest to attract all who
wish to spend a pleasant evening,
but the object for which the funds
realized are to be devoted, should
appeal most strongly to the CO.
operation of every one who desire
to extend their appreciation to the
labor performed by most worthy
institution. An institution that
has been instrumental in doing so
much good in this community
an institution that is worthy of the
highest commentator, and most
generous support. BY contribu-
ting a mite in every movement
that tends to enlarge its scope and
facilities, it follows that the re-
suit will be an increase of good in
proportion to the increased facili-
ties. Therefore, it behooves every
one who is prepared to acknow-
ledge the good-and who is not:
that the Sisters have accom-
plished since their advent here
to be as generous as their means,
will allow in every step taken fol
their benefit.
Now, then, let us all go to the
entertainment, and while receiv-
ing enjoyment, have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that we are con.
tribut'ng share of helping the
, good Sisters in their unselfish, la.
, bOrious and most meritorious
work.

tended to victimize poor people. OF such
nature are the offers of bogus patent
attorneys, who get money out oil inventors
by pretending to be able to place the lat
ter in communication with capitalists dis
posed to furnish cash for putting their
contrivances on the market. Other
cheats advertise so-called endowment
concerns, which endow nobody but the
managers, though the prospects are ever
so alluringly set forth on paper There
are the pretended detective agencies,
which wiring small amounts from unso-
phisticated young men by making them
believe to employ their services as rep
resentatives" in one part of the country
or another, but never giving any work TO
do. Sufficiently familiar are the sharp
ers who offer crayon portraits free, sub
sequently demanding large prices for
cheap frames to inclose the worthless
pictures. Valuable time keepers pur-
chased by rural pumpkins turn out to be
sun dials. OF course, nobody has any
sympathy for the people defrauded by
the green-goods game; they deserve all
they get.
One of the most remarkable sw indies
ever heard of was set on foot recently by
the establishment Of more than a score
of small postol1ces in South Carolina
The chief conspirator was quite promi-
nent man in that part of the country,
named Barrett, and it was by his in
tiuence that the department was per-
suaded to create the offices, appointing
as postmasters men whom he selected.
The whole business was fictitious, the
localities chosen being uninhabited.
Nevertheless, the postmasters were able
to procure large quantities of goods, pay
ing for some of them with postage stamps
furnished by Uncle Sam and obtaining
credit for others. Two square accounts
at Washington, they rendered false aft
davits as to cancellations. The fraud
was exposed by an inspector who, travel
ing through that region, quickly found
out what was going on.
Postmasters in small places are often
called on by congressman and politicians
to furnish lists of names of those persons
in their bailiwicks who are likely to be
influenced with reference to voting by
judiciously partisan literature
This is an abuse which the civil service
commission is most anxious 10 put a stop
to. OF course, the postmasters represent
whichever party may be in power at
Washington, and it is uEquestionably a
fact that they have been accused of dis
eliminating against opposition documents
in the mails. However, it cannot be de-
MED that they are far more sinned against
than SHINING, being commonly employed
as innocent agents for the prosecution of
frauds in which they have no share or
profit.

ing. After parley the husband took up
his position on the front veranda while
the detective made himself comfortable
in the back yard. IL was game of
freeze-out. Inside the two young rail
readers were shaking in their shoes,
while the hayward wife actually tainted
dead away.
About 10 o'clock the ingenious and
pluckly little milliner determined upon
bold stroke. Upon the arm of one of the
railroaders she sailed forth hoping that
the husband would give up his post on
the veranda and follow. The ruse did
not work, however, and the husband and
his detective remained on the watch I'M
Til l o'clock, when a messenger was
sent for a police officer. Capt
A j. Moss responded. The
young railroader, who had been almost
sweating blood for FIVE hours for fear the
outraged husband would break in and
shoot him finally admitted Capt. Moss,
upon the condition that he should be pro-
tected. Capt. Moss then took the young
mau in charge. He explained that he
had never before seen the out-of-town
mans wife with whom he had been locked
up in the house, but said the real Lotha-
rio had escaped with the little milliner
Upon this the husband ordered his wife
taken to the police station also. and cases
were made against her and the railroad
man. Meanwhile the other railroad
man, who was really responsible for all
the trouble, had gotten himself judiciously
out of the way
In Capt. Moss private office there was
a scene between the hayward wife ard
her wronged husband. The result of it
was that just as the first breaks of day
were beginning to steal in through the
grated window upon them, they called
Capt. Moss in and told him they had de-
termined 10 smother their feelings Of Bit
terness and shame for the family's sake.
The captain agreed to suppress the scan
dal and the pair left together on the first
Central train, the cases on the dockets
being marked dismissed.

considerable wealth and he and his wife
are both connected with some of the best

monthly contest were presented TO the
winners by MIR. John Nicolson, Jr., who
compIimented the boys on their work in
