the great combination that has been

the fun Of the thing nor for the ben

We knew in reason that it meant a
jump in the price Of fertilizers. iou
can always count on this being the
result when you see corporation
buying up manufacturing establish
ments and getting the whole thing
as near as they can, into Il combine
or trust. 1t simply means to shut
out competition and get n mercilcss
grip on the consumer, who cannot
help himself. But in this case there
is loop hole through which cur
farmers may escape the grasp Of the
octopus, Here it is: Resolve to
plant short crop Of cotton next year
and go to work, and go at it in earn
est, to making your own compost
heaps. You have time enough to
make your own fertilizer, and if you
cannot make all you need, you Will
have the satisfaction of having very
little to buy at the cxhorbitant prict
you will have to pay, and by united
effort along this line you can smash
the the thing ike you did tho haS-
ging and tie trust some time ago,
which, like this, was organized for
the sole purpose Of throttling and
crushing the farmer. Nothing would
please us more than to see the furm-
ers Of the whole South go to work,
and by united action smash this
latest trust. Here is what it will 90

friends this is an alarming state Of

ness Of the matter and let's burst the
bands this unrightous Trust is trying
to well around you. 1t can be Gono
by united effort. We have advised
you siucc last August that the Gotten
crop was short and for you to hold
back your cotton as much as you
possibly could and you would be re-
warded by higher prices. Other pa
pers have done the same thing, ana
yol and the farmers Of other States
have held what you could and you
have consequently made many dol

cotton producing people, have simply

can knock this trust out if you viii

to induce The purchaser to buy only

The Peoples Champion recently
made some lurid statements con-
cerning the insurance system lately
instituted at the Crested Butte
mine. 1t said the scheme was to
be forced upon the men whether
they wanted to be parties to the
contract or not. But then no one
places any reliance upon what the
Champion says and, therefore, no
harm was done. The fact of the
matter is that the company has no
desire to force anything upon its
employees, the Champions state
ments to the contrary, notwith-
standing, and if the men don't
want to continue in the insurance
project they don't have to. Neither
will any man be discharged or
compelled to resign. As near as
can be ascertained at the present
time about one-third of the force
view the insurance matter favor
ably and will continue in it. A
paper of such alarmist tendencies
as the Champion works detriment-
ally to the interests of any com
munity. 1t should take care to
inquire into matters before ventur-
ing any comment.

The PILOT did W. O. Miller Il
wrong by personal reference to
him concerning the recent affair at
Anthracite. Mr.. Miller admitted
that the Tribune's account con-
tained inaccuracies and was rather
provoking; but subsequent devel-
opments have shown our state
ments unjust also, and as we have
no desire to malign anybody, we
tender him our sincere regret for
any injustice perpetrated, because
the PILOT has no quarrel with the
gentleman. This is said without
any retraction of our high esteem
for the other parties, but it is not
the mission of the PILOT to fight
personal battles.

Senator Bacon's Philippine re

Senator Bacon's Philippine re-
solution contains a new idea. He
suggests that this government shall
secure by treaty with the great
nations of the world the perpetual
independence of the Philippine
Islands, after which it shall assist
the natives of the islands to set up
a government of their own, and
then withdraw our troops and flag.
Even if this idea were endorsed
by the public sentiment of this
country, there would be one insur-
mountable obstacle to its being
carried out, and that is that not a
single one of the great European
powers, each of which would be
glad to have the Philippines
because of their commercial i'm
portance, would agree to such treaty
as that proposed by Senator Bacon.

The financial furry which star
tied Boston recently and last week
upset Wall street temporarily,
has passed over, and the specula-
tive markets have settled down to
a comparative calm. The popo-
cratic or alarmist press widely
heralded the disturbance as a
panic" and perhaps it was, as far
as Wall street and State street are
concerned; but outside of those
precincts it had but little effect.
There has been no lull in general
business; manufacturers and min
ers are carrying on their work as
actively as before, and not even a
momentary lessening of demand is
apparent anywhere,

Obituary.

Blanche Elizabeth, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart III. Ryder,
fell asleep on Thursday morning
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. @. [.
Lawrence, where she spent the last
week of her suffering.
Blanche was born on February
16, 1894, at Jacks Cabin. Her
disease was peculiar one. The
scientific name is Perpura Hem
orrlagica, which is the breaking
down of the tissues of the blood
vessels throughout the system,
causing internal hemorrhages. The
disease had been working for some
time before it was discovered that
anything serious was ailing the
child. On Friday before she passed
away she came with her mother to
Crested Butte to be near the doc
tor for few days, no one suspect
ing the end was so near. They
accepted the hospitality of the
Lawrence home so kindly offered,
where everything that could be
done by human hands and medical
skill was did for the little sufferer.
On Monday following she was seen
to be rapidly failing and it was
thought for a time it would be i'm
possible to keep life in her until
her father, who was Immediately
summoned, could reach her side.
She revived, however, and it was
not until Wednesday that all hope
for her was abandoned. Though
suffering intensely all the time,
her mind was clear and composed
till almost the last. To those who
saw her suffering the end came as
relief to know that suffering for
her was ended.
The funeral services were held
at the Lawrence home on Satur-
day at l p. m. and conducted by
Rev. j. l.. Read. The sermon was
from the text: "But we would
not have you ignorant brethren,
concerning them that fall asleep;
that ye sorrow not even as the rest
that have no hope" | Thess. 4: 13.
The choir softly sang "Meet me
There" and "Sleep on Beloved" "
Mr.. and Mrs. V. E. Metzler sang
that beautiful hymn, "Ol Morning
Land" After the services were
over the remains were taken to the
train and shipped to Jacks Cabin,
where they were laid to rest in the
home cemetery.

In addition to the great number
of cotton mill operatives who re-
Gently received an advance which
makes their wages equal to the
highest ever known in the history
of the industry, 100000 woolen
mill hands are to have their wages
similarly raised. The Democrats,
even with their narrow vision, can
now comprehend that prosperity IS
abroad in the land.

The presidents message has
carried joy to the Cubans, many of
them who were in ugly mood be-
cause of the rumor of the appoint
ment of a civil governor for the
island, and all unite in praising the
document for making so clear and
explicit the intention of this gov
eminent to give Cuba free and in
dependent government. Indeed
the Cubans are not now so anxious
to know the specified time when
they can assume self-control and
are disposed to await cheerfully
the occasion when they can do so.
The wild-eyed revolutionists, who
have never been happy since
Spain's hold on the island was re-
leased, are not SO anxious to rebel
against the United States protect
crate now in existence as they were
a few days ago, fact that will tend
to the firmer establishment of law
and order ON the island.

The Ruby mine closed down
Saturday after a successful run of
four months. This move was rem
dered necessary on account of the
great expense of keeping the rail
road open to that point during the
winter months. Under the able
management of Sup't. Mclaughlin
everything pertaining to the Ruby
mine and breaker has been put
upon a excellent basis for econom-
ical operation and heavy produc-
ton. Every indication points to
an early resumption in the spring.

A party of Senators, Re

A party of Senators, Repre-

accompanied by the governors of
Arizona and New Mexico, will
spend the Congressional recess,
visiting those territories. A
movement is on foot to get both
of these territories admitted as
States at the same time, which has
strong supporters in both the
parties, owing to the belief that
one of them would send two re-
publican Senators and the other
two democrats, making it an equal
gain for both parties.
