BY MARY GAY HUMPHREYS.

Jne Leland Stanford, jr., university,
It is facetiously called, is run by horse
power and brandy The allegation is
directly true. The university endow-
ment, in addition to a couple and
half of millions, consists of the Palo
Alto estate Of S.400 acres. and the VIVA
estate Of $4,000 acres, in addition to an
other estate of 22,0o0 acres.
Inc VIVA acres produce the brandy,
the Paio Alto estate the horses.
On the latetr estate the university is
situated, its low yellow Spanish build
lngs hanked on the one side by the
Irolttng stables and track, and on the
otner by the thoroughbreds.
The situation from every point of
view is unique. The architecture which
repeats the motives of the old Spanish
missions, is so unlike the icfty preten-
sions Of most colleges of learning that
the visitor to the trotting farm not un-
naturally asks if that is the stables"
The barns of the trotting farm are in
deed in more accord with the univer-
sity idea than the low yellow group
sheltered under red tiles and connected
by an inner arcade, pillared and
arched aisle whose extent and beauty
delights the eye and kindles the mag
nation This arcade incloses a vast
quadrangle, asphalted and pierced by
six ovals filed with tropical plants.
surface on wheels; bicycles are every
where. One might, indeed. fancy it an
academy for wheelmen.
But the trotting farm has the advan-
tage in situation. Both are approached
through the palm bordered paths of the
campus, glimpsing the little gray mar
bic temple, where Governor Stanford

improve the fertility of the soil and con-
troll weeds by proper rotation OF grain
and fodder crops. This can be done to
large extent. Most crops grown here
may be divided into two classes according
to the kind of seed produced or the sub
stances which the plants require from the
soil. Cereal crops, such as wheat, oats,
corn, timothy and the like. generally have
thin seeds covered with chaf. They get
their mineral and heterogeneous matter
from the soil directly and hence tend to
imDoverish 1t. The other class. such as
beans, peas. alfalfa and all clovers, are
called legumes and produce seed in a
pod. In addition to taking material from
the soil they have power to gather nitro
gen or flesh, forming a material from the
air and of sorting it up in the roofs.
These plants tend to enrich the soil with
just those constituents of which the farms
of this state are in many cases deficient.
laguminoUs plant, while storing a con-
siderable amount of nitrogen in it's leaves
and stalks, accumulateS such a large
amount in it's roots that the surface soil
is richer after the crop is grown than be-
fore. Then there are crops which have
long roots and feed from the lower layers
while there are others that obtain their
mineral matter from near the surface.
These should be alternated. Some crops
reach maturity early in the season, while
well into the autumn. Some are Guilt
waited, while others are not.
If the above characteristics are kept in
mind. rotation can be so arranged that
" and the weeds effectually conquered.
The intelligent growth of leguminous
crops and the thorough cultivation of the
soil will. 1 believe, maintain indefinitely
the fertility of Utah farms, which with
good rotation properly handled and
thorough cultivation will hold the weeds
in subsection. 1t might occur to some
that the increased amount of grain pro-
ducad by intelligent culture could not be
disposed of. Where state is buying but
ter, cheese, pork products, poultry, eggs,
etc. by the carload from outside. as is
Utah. it seems to me that our own barn
yards might furnish the market for most
of our farm crops. / believe that with i'm
proved methods and intelligent rotation,
the increasing demand of our own home
markets for agricultural produce may be
supplied as well as that from our neigh
bors surrounding, and this, too, without
decreasing by one bushel the amount of
wheat now exported or increasing the
amount of and cultivated.

UTAH GROUSE CAUSE A ROW,
THIRTY BIRDS SHIPPED FROM
PROVO TO ASPEN.
Were Seized by the Game Warden,
Who Will Prosecute the Con
signee-Utah Law Violated.

Denver Republican: The shipping of 80
grouse from Utah to Colorado is very
likely to cause no end of trouble in the
near future. The shipping of those little
birds, carefully tied in a gunny sack and
neatly tagged, win involve people resid
ing in the two states, besides the express
company which transported them Special
Game Warden Frank Hayes of Aspen has
the matter in charge and has been in
structed to prosecute the man TO whom
me grouse Were consigned, and if he can
work up a clear case against the express
company, to proceed against it for violat
Ing the game laws.
The birds in question were shipped yes
terday from Provo. Utah, to Samuel
game reached their destination, they
were seized by Special Game Warden
Hayes of that city: Mr.. Clark protested,
but it did him no good, as the special
ing the game, Mr.. Hayes telegraphed to
State Fish and Game Commissioner
Swan.
Mr.. Swan is out of the city, being in
the. southern part of the state investi-
eating some game law violations reported
TO him. Game Warden j. T. Mclean was
IN the office when the above telegram
was received at 9:35 clock, and replied,
advising Mr.. Hayes to secure evidence
against Clark and the railroad company
and give the grouse to a hospital or poor
house.
Shortly before Il o'clock the following
telegram was received from Samuel
Clark, to whom the grouse in question
had been shipped and confiscated by
HAYES:
Aspen, Colo, Nov. 2S-George Swan,
State Game Warden: Hayes has conf1s-
Gated grouse from me that l bought in
Utah. l can show invoice and express re-
ceipt that they were shipped from Provo
City, Utah Wire me- SAM CLARK"
After reading the above, Mr.. Mclean
wired that Hayes acted according to law.
THE GAME LAWS.
Game Warden Mclean looked up the
game laws and wrote the following letter
10 Mr.. Hayes:
Sir-Your telegram. relative to confiscat-
ing 80 grouse. alleged to have been
shipped from Utah, was received and an
SWered this morning.
The game laws Of Utah do not permit
any one to legally ship game outside of
that state, and section 43 of our game
law makes it unlawful to have in pos
sale, any bird, animal or fish caught
taken or killed outside of this state
which was caught, taken or killed at a
time in a manner or for a purpose for
or country where the same was caught
taken or killed, or shipped out of the
said state, territory or county IN violation
of the laws thereof
I'm filing your complaint you can make
as many counts as there are grouse con-
fiscated, thereby making each and every
bird a separate and distinct offense. Look
into the railroad part of this matter very
carefully, and If you are convinced that
they were aware Of the contents of the
box, file a complaint against them also
Let me hear from you soon as pos
sible as to the outcome of the case
Yours truly,

Game Warden Mclean did not know
what express company handled the dead
game, as both the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Midland run into Aspen.

FATAL ARRAY At SEATTLE
POLICEMAN MURDERED BY AN
EX-CoNVICT.
Chase After the Assassin Was Excit-
ing, and the Whole Police Force
Were Ordered Out.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2S.-James Wells,
a well-known policeman of this city,
while acting as city jailor tonight, was
cowardly murdered by Charles Phillips.
an ex-convict, who was recently re-
leased from Jail at New Westminster,
B. c. Phillips had been arrested on
suspicion of being implicated in a re-
cent burglary, and had been taken to
the city Jail in the patrol wagon. When
the wagon reached the Jail, Officer
Wells met it and told Phillips to get
down. Phillips responded by drawing
a revolver and shooting Wells through
the body.
He then ran across the street. Wells,
though mortally wounded, staggered to
his feet and fred at Phillips, who re-
turned the fire. Wells then fell to the
sidewalk dead.
Phillips then broke and ran, with
officers Barber and Meredith in hot
pursuit Sheriff Meyer, who was pass
ing on a streetcar, hearing the shots
and seeing the crowd, alighted, and
took a. shot at the fleeing Phillips, who
finally took refuge under q building at
the corner of Fourth and Main streets.
Chief OF Police Reed ordered out the
entire police department and the house
was surrounded. officers Meredith and
Barber, with a lantern, crawled in after
Phillips, whom they saw sitting under
the rear end of the building, with his
revolver in hand.
Meredith called out to him to sur
render. Phillips drew his revolver to
fire, but Meredith and Barber were too
quick for him. Their pistols rang out
and Phillips fell, wounded through the
arm and leg. He then surrendered.
When taken to Jail he said that he did
not intend to kill Wells, but only to
iniure him.
The shooting caused an immense SEN
sation, as Wells was a very popular
officer
