HIGHLY REPREHENsl3LE.
An Incident at Manila Which indi-
cntes Trouble.


London, July @. The Hongkong cor
r-asnondent of the Daily Mail says: The
triumphal entry of the reinforcing squad
ron into Manila was marred by an un-
pleasant incident for which the Germans
were responsible. As the ships came up
the bay they were closely followed oy the
German warship kaiserine Augusta,
mh;ch had been cruising about Marie
r;lln for scne time. The impression
given every one who watched her was
.hat sbe was not only making a close OBJ
sarvotion of the American forces, but
endes yoring TO show both Americans and
Standards that she represented a nation
which must be reckoned win III uhe pres ay
emf crisis. The feeling among both
Amoricans and Englishmen in the bay is
that Germany's attitude, as shown by
these movements. is highly r~eprehensible
and ANYTHING but respectful to the Unit
ed States.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF LA JUNrA AND oTERO co
SATURDAY, JULY 80, 1898.
GOOD DRAINAGE. GOOD ROADS.

The first OF series of papers on
"The Twentieth Century Village"
appears in the August number OF
the Ladies Home Journal. The
articles are intended to be OF prac-
teal benefit to the dwellers in
small communities. The first one
deals with the subject OF Good
Roads" and in 1t some very prac-
tical suggestions are made. Proper
drainage is the secret OF success IN
good road making and effective
drainage Is very simple affair.
The writer in one section gives
few practical suggestions:
Now what was the simple secret
taught to those road makers? Ii
was merely TO drain the roads and
keep the roads drained by keeping
the bitches open. The old method
was to run plow through the side
bitches and throw the disturbed
soil, sod and all, in the middle OF
the road. There it would stay
till heavy rain came to wash this
soil back into the bitches and fill
them up again. II there were
money enough this kind OF thing
would be done over and over again,
as often as four times in a year.
Where there were wet spots,
broken stone or gravel would be
placed in the road and left for the
passing wagons TO wear this metal
into ruts. The money spent was
absolutely thrown away.
BY the new process all the road
mender needs to do is to provide
bitches and outlets for them, and
then so shape the road that the
water falling in rainstorm will
run off at once into the bitches.
ne water must not De suffered 10
run in the road, but off the road.
The rainfall, being thus simply and
effectively disposed of, becomes a
most beneficial instead OF destruc-
tive agent; it cleans, and shapes,
and hardens the roadway, instead
OF washing it away and deepening
the ruts. When there are wet
places. such as springs, in the
roadway, gravel and broken stone
will not cure such things. The
water must be drained off under
meath the roadway and into the
bitches by means of pipe or blind
drains. The whole thing is so
simple that any one can easily
master the principles and put the
details into practical operation.

Attorney Generals opi",oa Thst VIII
Largely Affect the Revenues.

Attorney General Carr Wednes.
day handed down an important de.
cision which upheld that OF County
Attorney Twitchell, recently ren.
dered, relative to the question oi
assessing notes held by residents
against non-residents and vice
versa, says the Denver Times.
He sides with the attorney tina,
notes held in the state on outside
parties are taxable. This means
that the state will reap large re-
turn from this class of collateral,
which has heretofore been lying
dormant. Attorney General Carr's
opinion, epitomized, is as follows:
81 am therefore OF the opinion
"First-That credits of a resi-
dent OF this state held outside OF
the state temporarily, or for safe
keeping, or in such like way, have
their situs here, at the domicilc OF
the owner, for the purposes Of tax
alton.
"Second-That moneys and cred
its of a resident, kept, used and
loaned in another state by the prin-
cipal or his agent. in such way as
to become part of the wealth oi
the state where SO kept, have a
situs there for taxation, and cannot
be taxed here.
"Third-That the moneys, notes
and credits of nonresident kept,
used and loaned in this state by
the principal or his agent, in such
a way as 10 become part Of the
wealth OF the state where so kept,
have a situs there for taxation, and
cannot be taxed here.
"Third-That the moneys, notes
and credits of nonresident kept,
used and loaned in this state by
the principal or agent, in such a
way as to be come a part Of the
wealth OF this state, have a situs
here for taxation.
"Fourth-That the credits of a
non resident, held here temporarily
or for safe keeping, or such like
purpo. es, where the same have not
become part OF the wealth Of the
state, have situs at the domicile
of the owner and cannot be assess
ed here.
.Fifth-The same rules above
mentioned, in my opinion. apply
as between different counties in the
same state"

irrigation has not been timely. and
corn on the uplands has begun to
show the effects Of the dryness-
Wheat is being harvested in sec
tions OF moderate elevation. and
with only here and there an excep-
ton the reports indicate a good
yield, though somewhat less than
expected. Oats and barley are
ripening rapidly, and in several
sections harvesting is under way,
the weather conditions being very
favorable. The second crop OF al
falfa is light in the north-central
section, and in San Luis Park
much OF the first crop has been
damaged by wet weather. This IS
also true Of the first crop in Weld
county, where, although in stack,
the down pours two weeks ago
caused much damage. Potatoes
are reported as making satisfactory
progress. Cantaloupes in the Ar
kansas valley give promise of a
large crop. Early apples and
peaches are ripe in the southern
and western counties. Ram is
badly needed for the ranges, the
majority of which are now brown.
