Fertile Lands of Colorado.

The traveller who visits Colorado for tho
first time is surprised and impressed with
the oppor tunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth of
tho state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixeo in the minds of
strangers, crowding out all hnowie edge of
her wonderfully fertile SOIL Little thought
is ever given to the 1900 miles of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 2. O00, 600 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eightyone special premiums
were awarded covering all kinds of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached "a, 900, 600
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is a profitable industry. The min
cral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output of
gold and silver, does not compare with her

the extraordinary efforts made by the

about 3 o'clock George Vice shot ana
killed J J. McRee on the main busl'

street was crowded at the time no one
heard their conversation, and the start
ling sound of a pistol shot was the trSI
intimation that fight was in progress.
The facts, as near as could be learned
are: Vice, who is in the stave busl-
ness, bought some timber from one OF
McRee's female relatives and IN paying
for it made a mistake in the calculation
If rs cents. McRee was collecting this
when a quarrel arose, and Vice says
McRee was advancing on him with a
knife when he shot him The ball en-
tered to the right of the breastbone and
passing through the lungs, lodged IN
the back. McRee grappled with vice
and they fell on the pavement The
crowd rushed up and Vice was with
difficulty disarmed, as he seemed atrait
that others would attack him. Mckee
was carried into Smiths drugstore an(
