open hostilities against the women OF

Il think it would be a mighty good
idea If the women were packed away
and sent cut of Washington and the
men left alone here to attend to the bus
iness that they are sent here for by the
country. The trouble is there are too
many dinners and too much social dis

No man can go to these fashionable
dinners night after night and sit up uu-

guarantee from the management of
the opera house. 1t is beyond ques-
ton first class attraction, and Ard
more lovers of music, will have an
opportunity of hearing something
that very seldom towns of this size
are favored with. The only way we
can hope for first class operas, is for
them to be patrOnized literally. In
this instance, the price for the night
was set by the co:aDany, the opera
house management accepted the Of
fer, now it depends on our people as
to whether the management will
loose money or come out whole. OF
the three performers composing the
company, the following sketches are
in order:
Nine. Julia Aramenti is one of our
few American singers who have
made reputation abroad as well as
in this country. She has studied
with the leading teachers, both in
this country and Europe, among
whom are Argramonte, of New York
and Vianesi of Paris. She has re-
markably full soprano voice of
dramatic power, wide range, and
great flexibility.
Miss Celia Schiller, is pianist of
wonderful power. She is true ar
tist, possessing soul and fire. Her
reputation both in Europe and this
country is of the best.
Mr.. Charles F. Higgins, violin vir-
tuoso. This great artist possesses a
most wonderful technique and a
broad sympathetic tone. BY his
mastery playing he has won the ad-
miration of the severest critics of
| both Europe and America.

Hc Was Loved by All.

In speaking of the death of Marcus
Lowe, brother of Mesdames F. E.
Wilson and Lon NJ. Frame, the Sher-
man Democrat says;
There was no young man in
Sherman more generally loved and
respected than Marcus Lowe. He
was one of those remarkable men
who, without seeking popularity,
was popular with all. 1t was no one
act or series of acts that made him
a favorite with all who knew him,
but his whole nature and character
commended him. Friends who have
known him from boyhOod say that
no man can justly charge an unman-
ly action to Marcus Lowe. He was
truly one of natures noblemen, and
no word of praise can be spoken of
him, but will find an echo in some
heart which knew and loved him.
The sorrowing relatives have lost
one most dear to them, but in their
deepest grief they can point with
pride to the upright life he lived.
They have the profound sympathy of

A Good Law.


The New York law in regard to the
maintenance of secrecy by telephone
employees as to the messages passing
over the wires went into effect Septem-
Der /. 1t requires the staff of tele-
phone companies to be as secretive re-
garding the nature of their business
as are the operators who handle tele-
graph messages.
A person who either wrongfully OBJ
tains or attempts to obtain any knowl-
edge of telegraphic or telephone
message by connivance with a clerk,
operator, messenger or other employe
of telegraph or telephone company
or, being such operator or other en-
ploye, wilfully divulges to any one but
the person for whom 1t was intended
the contents or the nature of a tele-
graphic or telephone message in
trusted to him for transmission or de-
livery, or Of which contents he may In
any way have become possessed, Is
punished by a fine of $1,000 or six
months Imprisonment, or both. The
same penalty attaches to neglect or
refusal to transmit or deliver messages,
except when they are intended for IL
legal purposes.
Long distance telephone lines are
being so rapidly extended and the sub
stitution Of the telephone for the tele-
graphic message that such an excel

provides should be universally pro-
vided. The telephone companies

Agriculture In Central Colorado.

What is called the "Great Divide
experimental station, located at Monu
ment, makes report on the results Of
their experiments for a number OF
years. The summary says:
1. The best results follow sowing one
and one-half bushels of oats to the
acre.
2. Eight to ten-inch blowing is better
for oats and potatoes than 4-inch plow'
ing.
3. Bromus inermis is the best gras.
for the Divide region.
4. The American Wonder, Peoples
and Rose Seeding are the best varie.
ties of potatoes for field culture.
5. Potatoes planted 8 to inches deep
on soil plowed to 10 inches deep, give
better results than any other method
tried
6. The best results are secured wheb
potatoes are planted between May 18th
and May 30th.
z. The time to sell potatoes is when
they are taken from the ground. Thus
a loss of 16 per cent in weight, in sin
months, is saved; also loss in size
the smaller potatoes shrinking below
marketable size.
8. That farmer can better AFFORD
to take 80 cents per 100 pounds for his
potatoes in the fall than to keep them
for a Accent price in the spring.
8. All ground should be well plowet
before potato planting begins.
10. Field corn is an improbable croI
at this station.
II. Under proper care, cottonwood
box-elder, and ash trees do we'll.
IL. Further experiments are neces
sary to give more definite information
on all lines of experimental work un,
dertaken at this station.

sachaline In Wyoming.

Early last spring, through the loca
papers we advised the farmers ant
ranchmen in Wyoming, not to purchase
seeds or plants Of sachaline until it:
value could be determined by the Elk
iment Station.
The plant has been so thoroughly
advertised and such extravagant state
ments have been made of its hardness

should be advised of our results in
growing it. One ounce Of seed and
twenty roots were purchased OF A

six inches. In short, our trials indicate
that sachaline is not sufficiently hard,
to be of practical value in any part OF
the state. According to reports, it has
failed in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexi.

However in reporting our results we
would mention the fact that the seed

for true sachaline, and we are not sure
that our seed and roots were not Of this
variety. In fact measurements OF
leaves on plants at Sheridan would
indicate that they are" false sachaline.'
Whether we have grown the true sacha.

suit only in loss of time and money.
