THE WEATHER.
Cold Here But Several Degrees Lower
Al Every Other Place In
the State.

Last week Canon City experienced
one Of the heaviest SHOWS and coldest
we have had for several years. Thurs
day morning found the ground cover
ed with three or four inches Of snow.
and the next two days were cold in
deed for our much boasted italian
climate"
But Canon was not the only place
where the cold snap touched. On all
sides Of Us the snow was several
inches deeper and the weather here
was mild compared to what it was at
many points. The d. & R. G. R. R.
has q system of weather reports from
all over the State. They are abso-
lutely correct and to compare the
different points is always iattering to
Canon. On Friday morning at o'clock
the Rio Grande reports showed the
following temperature:

tie while. 1t furnishes the greatest
measurement of opportunity. Emer-
son said, america is another word
for opportunity" Here is a shorter
word and bigger measurement.
There are people now among us
who might be owners of half Of Dem
yer, or Chicago, if they had only got
the true measurement of the oppor-
tunity by this word twenty or thirty
years ago. In every educational
town you see this illustrated in young
men and women, who, in spite of their
advantages never. acquired disciplined
mind. Many of the failures of life in
every direction came because people
have got hold of the wrong standard
of measurement. Too many people
begin too soon to use "it might have
been," while a larger class still! are
using it may be-" or some day."
The true standard, the Divine rod,
is "Now. The accepted time of grace
is now. The day of salvation is now.

bility. Conscience stretched over an

Conscience in the blessed now is the

Some things are not for US to know

To Destroy Goblin Moths.

Prof. C. P. Gillette of the State
Agricultural college delivered lee
ture before the State Horticultural
convention on Comparative Values
of Different Methods of Combating
the Goblin Moth In part be said:
Our tests show that in orchards
where the trees are sprayed the per
centage of wormy apples is less than
IA, whereas the unsprayed trees in
the same orchard showed that one
third of the crop was wormy. But
this per centage does not by any
means show the great amount of good
which is gained by spraying the trees.
1t viii be found that you do your or
chard very little good by spraying
one-half the trees and permitting the
other half to take care of itself. The
moths from the unsprayed half soon
find their way to the other trees and
do almost as much destruction to
them as though they ha never been
sprayed. To be of any use at all the
trees must be sprayed and then the
horticulturist will get the full benefit
Of the remedy.
Prof. Gillette thinks there is little
preference between arsenic, London
purple or Paris green as the poison to
be used in the spray, but there is a
little advantage to the last. which
probably contains q larger percentage
Of poison than either Of the other two.

SOME MORE REPUBLTcIN sKULLDUG
gerry.

The Guthrie Register, erstwhile Pop
ulist ogran founded by Leo Vincent
and nurtured by Chairman L. f. Law
erty. has pulled down the name Of
Hon. ]. r. Keaton and is now a full
1edged Republican paper. Rev. Mr..
Laverty sold the paper few days
since TO Marshal Cravens, taking as
consideration two notes $500, Sc
cured by mortgage on the papers
goodwill and plant. The pepper passed
from Mr.. Laverty's hands with the
understanding that its editorial policy
WAS not TO be changed.
No sooner had Cravens secured con-
troll than the Republican machine be-
gan TO work on his weakness. On
Thursday night Cravens was handed
$500 by Guthrie Republicans. for
which consideration the Register be-
came an alleged middle-of therosd
organ. In two column screed, in
spirsd or written by Republican,
the Register repudiates Keaton.
The action OF the Register will do
no harm TO Mr.. Keaton's cause; indeed,
1t will strengthen the Populists for
Keaton. The papers action is so trans
parent and mercenary that none OF It's
readers are fooled, and the only harm
done will be to Mr.. Laverty, whose
mortgage is inva idated since the pa
pers good will is destroyed
The Popu'ist leaders are out in a
statement today, IN which the Regis
ter is totally repudiated, A sound
Populist paper will be started at once.

that it never "swerves from its con
