Opinions still differ widely as to
the condition of winter wheat, some
claiming that it is badly damaged
while others asserting that the reports
are greatly overdrawn. The next few
weeks will settle the question as to
whether the stand will be good one
or not.

had one molar extracted and tainted
away in the operation. We give this
to show that some women are more
resolute and better soldiers then many
men. How was it at the recent
battles of Manila? After the fight
it was ascertained that many of the
native women had been engaged in
the battles; our forces finding many
women dead and wounded, dressed in
the garb of the native soldiers. These
women volunteering along with the
men to defend their homes and liber-
ties from what they claimed to be
American invaders. These people
are only doing now what this great
and enlightened nation: of ours did over
hundred years ago. And now
many of our wisest statesmen of all
political parties are beginning to see
the errors of their ways and doing all
in their power to have this human
sacrifice cease; and all good people
hope the end is near at hand. The
expansion policy is now on the decline
among the common people.

CAN THE CUBANS GOVERN THEM
SELVES,

One of the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans arc
incapable of governing themselves, and
that the United States must maintain
its present control Indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There will be those
who will dispute this, but there are
none who will dispute the we'll estab-
lished fact that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is capable of controlling the
common diseases of the stomach. 1t IS
a remedy that is backed by fifty years
Of success. 1t is an ideal medicine for
constipation; a strength builder for
those who are predisposed to lnng
troubles, and for ervousnes 1t is OF
wonderful benefit. AS a appetizer it Is
incompatible. Those whose stomachs
are out of order should not fail to try
a bottle.

AMERICAN MACHINERY IN RUss1.

AMERICAN MACHINERY IN RUSSIA
A large quantity of American made
machinery has gone to Russia during
the past twelve months. and yet the
Americans generally do not appear to
have known. until quite recently, that
their machinery was finding its way
into that country. 1t appears that the
orders have been given by large Ger
man machinery firms who obtained the
business from Russia, and had the work
executed in the United States. The
machinery was shipped to Germany. and
the German merchants attached their
Own name plates, as if they were the
Russia. The Americans are finding out
that they can do far better by shipping
the manufactures direct to Russia, and
it is with this purpose in view that sew
eral American houses have beer WORK
ing very diligently of late. 1t is re-
ported that already some very good
OIutIS nave NDteu ODldlueu IN RUSSIA,

able terms can ne arranged by negot-
iating direct with the American manu-
facturers.-Trade Journals Review.
As Colorado is said to be the only
place on the globe wnere Pittsburg can
not ship iron ard steel in it's various
forms at a profit, why cannot western
machinery firms and manufacturers
ship to foreign markets. such as Rus
STA, direct from the home points? This
would be im]practicable if it were not
for the fact that it is only one thousand
miles from Denver to tide-water on the
Gulf of Mexico. The above article is a
hint that all the power and pressure
in the west should be brought to bear
that the west may have a deep water
harbor on the gulf and. what is of
equal importance, a railroad connect
ing the mountains with the sea which
is free from influences hostile to the
Rocky Mountain region and interests.

The trouble with the narrow-gauge

in the fact that he cannot see beyond

thing throughout the state must be
subservient to the wishes of the people
Of his own city, and measured by their
standard. If his interests are such thai
