The Racket.
NILES COURT OF INQUIRY.
1t Began It's Work Monday-Miles on tn
stand.

1t Began It's Work MUNICIPALITIES on the
stand.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Tbe Miles
court of inquiry began its work to-
day, Maj. Gen. Miles being the prin-
cipal witness. Gen. Miles explained
that his choice of words before the
War Investigating Commission was
unfortunate. He did not mean by
the words ''pretense of experiment
to charge fraud, but he believed and
still believes that the issue of refrig-
Grated beef was ION the theory of
an experiment, and very costly
one."
When asked why he did not report
his beef discoveries to the Commits
sary General, Maj. Gen. Miles re-
piled somewhat holly that he was
not required to report to the Com
missary General. He wished by
inquiry to make sure of his charges
before reporting to the Secretary of
War. Regarding two published in
terviews, he said neither accurately
represented his opinion.

adding that the Visayans seem to be
disintegrating. The American flag

HENRY LEWIS, CONTRACTOR
Something of His History in Con-
nection with Florence.

One of the men who has been
closely identified with the late
history and development of Flor
ence, is Henry Lewis, the well
known and popular contractor and
builder.
Mr.. Lewis was born in New
York, from there he went west
to Michigan, and from the Wolver-
inc state he came to Colorado and
located in Denver % years ago.
While in that city a great many
buildings were erected that now
bear testimony to Mr. Lewis abil-
ity ms Il builder.
Six years ago he located in
Florence, and during his stay he
has gnined the confidence OF many
of the leading men of the town, of
whose work he is always sure
when they have building to do.
At this time he is just completing
the Ricketts, block on Main street,
The first house Mr.. Lewis built
after coming here, was on two lots
in the West End which were do
mated by Edwin Lobach and Jas.
T. Locke, as an inducement for
him to locate in this city. Since

that time, beside experimenting
the erection of many buildings foI
others, he has put up six more
houses for himself.
The last house which Contractor
Lewis built for himself. and in
which he now resides, stands on
the mesa at.the corner of Marble
avenue and Bluff street. at the
head of Main street. 1t is a fine,
large brick house, as may be seen
by the cut, and from its peculiar
location, may be seen from almost
any point in town.
Since the photograph was taken
from which the cut was made. Mr..
Lewis has made extensive improve
ments on the property. Along the
east front he has built II double
terrace between the house and the
street, supported below by heavy
stone wall.
On each grade he has planted
fruit trees, and next to the wall
below stands row of young elms.
At this time "A thick coat of green
grass is springing up over the ter
race, and by midsummer the
grounds will be covered with grass
and shrubbery.
AT the foot of the stairs leading
from the house to the street. Mr..
Lewis is building small pavilion.
On the upper grade summer
house is being built, which, when
completed, will be covered with
vines and surrounded with shrub
berry.
Take it all in all, while not the
largest and most expensive, the
Lewis residence. when work on
the grounds is completed, will be
the most beautiful and most de-
lightful spot in town. The work
Mr. Lewis has done to improve
this property is certainly a credit
to him, and when completed the

The vessels that go outward bound

FRUIT TREE PESTS.

Strenuous efforts are being made
by the State Horticultural society
to bring about the determination
of the codling moth, the Insect
whose presence has been detected
on the fruit trees of many locali-
ties in Colorado, and President
w. S. Coburn has issued explicit
instructions to fruit growers as to
how to proceed to remove the blight
permanently, a copy, of this cir
cular letter of instruction WIS re-
ceived yesterday 10y Secretary
Shute, who will make every effort
to aid in the work of extermina-
ton. The codling moth is tue
most destructive of all insects
known to attack fruit. and fruit
trees, and has been menace 10
the fruit growing interests of Colo
RADIO for some time.
Below are the instructions.
For codling moth orapple worm,
scrape all the rough bark from the
trunk and large limbs: clean out
all cracks and crcviccs in the forks
of the trees; destroy all old birds
nests or other debris that might be
hnrbor Then wash with one
pound of concentrated lye to six
gallons of water; apply with an
old broom. whitewash brush or
swab. This should be done while
the trees are dormant, before the
worms hatch, thus destroying
nearl Y all of them before they do
any damage, This will leave the
bark smooth and healthy and is
very beneficial.
When the trees bloom and the
blossoms fall, spray with London
purple or Paris green, one-quarter
pound to forty-tive or tifty-ghllon
barrel of water with two pounds
of fresh Stacked lime. aud repeat
this in eight or ten days.
About June 10 to 10 apply cloth
or burlap bands around the trunks
of trees and fasten with large
headed tack which can be easily
aud quickly removed and replaced.
Examine aud kill all worms every
eight or ten days until September
after this time they remain dor
mant until early spring and can be
cleaned up any time after the crop
is gathered. BY following these
directions, % per cent of apples
and pears will be free from worms.
Remedy for brswn mite, scale
insects, etc-Use the lime. sulphur
and salt mixture for spraying when
the trees are dormant only. Fresh
Stacked lime fifty pounds, sulphur
twenty-five pounds, rock-salt eigh-
teen pounds. Put the sulphur and
one-half the lime in twenty-five
gallons of water and boil until the
sulphur is thoroughly dissolved:
mix the remaining salt and lime
and dissolve in water and add this
to the first and boil for one hour:
then add water to make 100 GAL
Ions; strain before using and apply
at once while quit warm. This is
an excellent spray for the destruc-
ton OF all insect eggs and larva of
peach tree borer, green aphis, cat
erpIllars, etc. and is perfectly harm
less to fruit trees. Denver News. |
