THE RIGHT SENTIMENT.

Governor Gage, of California, in
addressing the troops of that state
on their return from the Philip
pines, gave utterance to the follow
ing sentiments:
"The present war is not war of
conquest, Notwithstanding the trea-
sonable utterances of few carping
critics to the contrary. The acquisi-
tion of territory is but an accident,
the war itself being in defense of
American rights, American com
merce and Christian civilization
To yield to disorganized bands of
half civilized natives the lands
won from Spain by the blood and
valor of our soldiers, would be to
forever lose our foremost place
among the powers as a commercial
and civilized nation. The splen-
did work which you and your fell
low soldiers from every part of the
union have accomplished must not
be destroyed by a REIMBURSEMENT
of the Philippines. Our nation
believes commercial expansion
across the Pacific ocean and Phil
ippines, gained by both war and
purchase, is necessary for the
maintenance of our commerce and
the prestige of our flag"

Reservoir Sites.

In an article on irrigation in the
far West, the National Tribune of
Washington says that what is
Immediately needed is the inau-
guration of comprehensive ma
tional policy of irrigation, which
will select the sites-of storage ba-
sins. in the Rocky mountains and
their foot hills, and begin the con-
struction," 1t overlooks the fact
that nearly one hundred and fifty
reservoir sites were selected over
ten years ago and are set apart for
this very purpose. These can be
found illustrated and described in
the Twelfth annual report of the
United States geological survey
published in 1891. There are
thirty three in California forty-four
twenty-five Montana and two in
Nevada. Fixed areas were segreg-
ated for each of these reservoir
sites, ranging in size from 200
acres to about 5000 drainage area
and capacity of reservoirs based
on acre feet measurment accom-
panying the maps.-Denver Post.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Denver, August %, 1899.

Denver, August %, 1899.
The weather conditions have
been ideal for harvesting, stacking
and thrashing grain, but in some
sections lack of moisture and cool
nights have retarded the maturing
of late crops. On lowlands the
grain harvest is nearly or quite
completed and the crop has gener-
ally been secured in excellent con-
dition; while in the elevated dis
tricts harvesting has just begun
grain is .ripening slowly and un-
evenly, and some fields are so back
ward as to be in danger of injury
by early frost. Early corn is prac-
tically made and the late crop is
making rapid advancement, es-
pecially where favored by showers
during the first half of the month.
Where irrigation is not practiced
the late crop is being cut for fod-
der. Potatoes, with few exceptions,
are thrifty and promising, though
rain would be beneficial in most
sections. The warm days have
been highly favorable to the ripen-
ing of vine and tree fruits: the
crop as a whole, however, is not
up to the standard. Frost of sutfi-
cient severity to injure beans, po-
tatoes and garden truck are re-
ported from portions of Larimef,
Rio Blanco, Garfield, San Miguel
ard the south central counties, in
Guiding San Luis Park. The wa
ter supply is getting low in most
sections. In few localities the
ranges are in satisfactory condi-
tion,' but the majority are short.

A SCENIC WONDER.

Shouts of applause and continuous
clapping Of hands greeted the finale of the
third act of Under the Dome" at the
Crawford theater last night and eight cur
tain calls kept the curtain in molten for
several minutes The thrilling storm
scene. in which the United States battle
ship Trenton is shown as it is sinking, the
band playing the ''Star Spangled Banner
was the cause Of this great burst Of en-
thusiasm on the part of the audience.
Under the Dome" is one Of Lincoln J.
Carriers great scenic productions and the
story is based on the terrible hurricane
in the harbor of Appea, when the Tren-
ton and other men-of-war were wrecked
and all on board lost, an incident familiar
to all students of history. The mechani-
cal effects Of this play are really superb.
The acting on the whole on the part Of
the lead and heavy was only fair, al
though the balance of the cast were good.
The company, however, with the aid of
the magnificent scenery and stage effects
presented a performance which pleased
every one.
There will be show every night next
week as follows: Monday, Tuesday and

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
a strong 2;z cents higher. with a fair run
but not what was expected and hoped
for, nor near enough to satisfy the buy

stock ready on that day, and then, too,
The market is apt to sag on that day.

some running stronger than others. This
market with the above named quotation
was comparatively very strong, Chicago,
with scarcely more hogs received than
on Thanksgiving day, reported steady to
4 shade higher. Kansas was a split of
strong to PA cents higher. There was
q good demand for hogs yesterday, and
the buyers in some cases divided a load,
one class going to the one who wanted
that particular grade the most, and the
sorts 10 another, all at the best and
strongest prices. There were not enough
hogs TO go around, however, and this
was the only disappointing feature, the
shippers certainly having no complaint,
as the prices were not only higher than
the day before, but higher comparatively
than the rest Of the western markets. All
the four big buying firms were on hand
and competition was keen and trading ac-
tive so long as there were nogs in which
TO trade. The average weight, 237 pounds
was muh lighter than of late. and the
quality just fair. The bulk of sales was
Wen in the narrow limit Of 212 cents and
this took in about all the sales.
