Dee Scriven, who has been attend
ing the state normal at Greedy, came
home this week.
Mr. Kennedy, our busy stone mas.
on, is at work this week in the Ami
tyyille region, where many fine farm
houses and barns are being built.
W. W. Jones, who has been very
sick man during the past three
weeks, is improving rapidly, Every
body will be glad to see his familiar
face and form upon our streets once
more.
After series of meetings con
ducted by Elder VIM. Berkiey. of
the Christian church, a church of
that denomination was organized in
Granada last Saturday night with 2
members. W. A. Rabb and G.. s.
Kennedy were appointed elders and
Mrs. Kennedy clerk.
The Granada school closed last
week after successful term. Seven
months is not long enough term
for town of Granada's pretentions
We believe that another month of
school with such capable teachers as
Mr.. Rosebrough and Miss Biilingslea
would have been of more benefit
than those pretty lightning rods.
The spirit of improvement has
seized upon our city dads and they
are doing gpod deal of commenda
bic work in the way of paving, max
ing street crossings and setting out
shade trees. II there was some way
of making non resident owners paint
up their old buildings it wonld add
much to the appearance of the town.
The Granada Literary Society will
give its closing performance of the
season Friday night of this week
The Granada public is indebted to
this society for number OF intel
lectual and musical treats during the
fall and winter months. This society
seems to be permanent fixture dur
ing the appropriate season and
should be encouraged.
Among the many who have lately
come to ,his vicinity to grow up"
with the country is Benjamin Dnn
bar, 81 years old, late of lie Mars.
Iowa. His son, Thos. Dunbar, also
the father of grown up sons, is max
ing extensive improvements on the
north side. Although Mr.. Dunbar.
Sr., has passed far beyond the allot
ted span, we hope that he may yet
enjoy years of Colorado Sunshine.

is a vegetable that should be exten.
+ively planted; doing extremely well
here, yielding the past season from
700 to 800 bushels per acre and re
quire little cultivation. From Oct
ober to May they are excellent hog
iced, by allowing them to root them
out and help themselves. There is
no cost attached to the harvesting
While at the same time the hog is
thriving as well or even better than
N any other food that could be
siven it. Geo, Pearl claims ten acres

BY Spanish Laws Miss Barton is Obliged ia
Pay Duties on Supplies for Havana.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Miss Barton
probably will be obliged to pay the
duties and fines imposed by the Span
ish officials of Havana upon the cargo
of the relief ship Comal if She desires
to secure the admission of the supplies
to Havana and their distribution. The
information that reached our govern
ment as to the imposition of these
charges came from the British consul
at Havana, who is charged with the
care of United States interests.
After considering, the officials here
have decided that until the United
States military commission which is to
arrange for the evacuation of the is
land of Cuba have discharged that
duty, the administration of the Span
ish laws by the Spanish officials must
be respected.
Unless further details change the
aspect of the case there will be no
interference on the part of our gov
ernment

Quebec, Aug. 31.-Important work
has been done by the conference COM
missioners. today. Although not ohi-
cially announced, 1t is known that the
discussion was upon the question OF
the boundary line Of Alaska.
1t Is said that an agreement has been
reached by the joint commission and
that the settlement Of the uestion will
be left to an outside commission to be
composed Of foreign arbitrators, or to
a commission OF three composed OF one
from the United States. one from Great
Britain and from enc of the foreign
powers.
Probably much of the time of the
American commission tomorrow. VIII
he taken up by the arguments OF the
lumbermen from the United States.
The lumber interests are represented
by s. s. Randall of Augusta. Me-; S. T..
Mcknight of Minneapolis, and Charles
W. Goodacre of Buffalo.
These gentlemen. say they will pre-
sent some very strong arguments to
the commission against any change in
the present tariff on Canadian lumber.
One Of them stated. tonight, that the
lunDeT HtuustIy III tie 'hit,H ''"s'1'
directly and indirectly gives employ
mcnt TO iaore people than there are
in the entire Dominion of Canada.
Over 5000. 900 OF people. he asserts. are
employed in the lumber industry in the

lumber trade should be governed by an
act of Congress and not by a treaty.
