COMMENT AND GOSSIP.

A Denver paper remarks: "The forth
coming harvest of cereals threatens to
he SO large that it will ruin the farm
ers." And probably the same paper
would have been just as quick to pre-
dict ruin if the crop outlook was poor.

where crops only grow by irrigation.)

cries have been made or are now like
ly to be made. A decrease in the press

is still diminishing.
