its needless continuation at the door of
trusts and bankers. She said, In part:
Fighting In the way they do, they can
keep this war going Just as long as

The farmers of Colorado will make
more money this year than ever be-
fore out OF the manufacture OF cheese
and other dairy products. Where i've
years ago the state produced about
10000 pounds of cheese, 2OOO.O0U
pound will be turned out by its fac
tories in 1899. These figures were
given yesterday by J. A. Ross, one Of
the members Of a ii II that controls
several of the largest cheese factories
in Colorado. He said that the farmerss
of Colorado are coming to appreciate
the Importance of this industry to the
state. All they have to do Is to breed
their cattle along lines that produce
the largest amount of butter fat. The
stock Is already in the state and the
kinds wanted for this purpose are kept
principally by owners Of small
ranches. A few districts are now de-
voted entirely to dairymen. Some of
these make in clear profit several hun
dred dollars q month with compare
lively small facilities, besides being
able to raise crops.
Two men on horseback held up the
stage from Snefiies at 8 o'clock Mon
day afternoon about three miles south
Of Ouray, up the mountain road, at the
second watering trough, a place well
fitted for such a deed. The men pre-
sented revolvers at the four occupants
of the open stage and endeacored to
get out the iron safe. but could not
break the fastenings. The bandits
We're after the gold bags brought down
daily from the Camp Bird mine. but
were unaware that the bags are al
ways placed in an iron safe with an
armed guard to protect 1t. A telephone
message from Sneffies shows that the
men kept up on the road and passed
through Snefiles. Sheriff Edgar is U.S.
ing the wires and will dispatch posse
to endeavor to capture the highway
men. The occupants of the stage We're.
not molested and no property was TAX
en- from the stage, which carries the
United States mail.
There will be no extra session of the
Colorado Legislature-priyate aid has
been secured which. with the increased
revenue of the state, will tide 1t over
until the Induction into office of the
next administration. Thus the squab-
bling of an extra session will be avoid
ed and Governor Thomas will save the
state the cool hundred thousand that
an extra session would undoubtedly
cost The governor says: "Yes. 7
have finally arranged for the carry
ing of the state warrants Of the state
asylum for the insane and the Soldiers
and Sailors Home for the entire hi
ennial period. Unless something un-
foreseen occurs. this arrangement,
with the revenues of the state and the
arrangements made by the friends of
the State University, will prevent an
extra session of the Legislature. 7
will make more detailed statement
in day or so on this matter, but am
not at this time at liberty to state who
will take care of the state warrants
for the institutions mentioned"
Says the Republican,: That there will
be no extra session of the Legislature
is now practically certain. One OF the
state officials said last night that he

saw his way out of the present dilem-
ma. "The Governor" said this Off
cial, 'has finally succeeded in saving
the state from the expense and embar-
rassment of reconvening Of the
Twelfth General Assembly. OF this l
feel positive. The basis of this ar
rangement is the successful culmina-
tion of the Governors plan to carry
two of the important and needy state
institutions along by private aid. He
conceived this scheme several months
ago and mt that time it did not seem
practicable. But with the same untir-
ing efforts he used to make the free
train possible for the returning soldiers
the Governor has hammered away on
this plan. He has hammered away
until, with the additional revenue from
the office of the secretary Of state and
from the four-mill tax ON Increased
valuations. an extra session can be
avoided. The $3.50. 600 deficit first an
nOunced was largely an artificial one,
as 1t included the payment Of all the
appropriations made by the IIegisla-
ture. Many of these can be dispensed
with. Many can be met by unexpect-
ed increases in the revenues of the
state. What remains will be carried
on the shoulders of private parties,
