THAT OPEN DOOR"
Thomas Carroll Fails from A Movisg
Train While Ridisg Throsgh
The Royal Gorge.

Thomas Carroll, an employee Of the
big steel works At Pueblo, met with
an unfortunate accident Sunday after
noon while passenger on one Of the
excursion trains returning from the
Royal Gorge. Mr.. Carroll was sitting
in chair opposite the open door Of
the baggage car and while the train
~as rounding one Of the sharp curves
the front legs Of the chair gave way,
precipitating Carroll head foremost
out Of the car toward the river. A
companion standing beside the chair
caughs a the falling naa and suc-
ceeded in getting bold Of his oatbut
the garment came Cd over the head
and shoulders and Carroll struck the
ground pretty hard. He was badly
bruised about the shoulders and
severe cuts were found about the
head. In dressing the wounds no less
than twenty-three pieces Of stone
were removed; the outer plate on the
left side Of The skull was found TO be
fractured; otherwise Carroll is pretty
well and extremely fortunate in
escaping with his life. Dr.. Wade
was the attending physician. Carroll
was sent to his home at Pueblo Sun
day night.

EVIDENTLY A RICH PLUM.
Several Eager Eyes are Watching
The Actions Of the D. & R. q.
and the Silver cliff
Extension.

Canon City, Florence and Pueblo
each want the Denver & Rio Grande
officials TO build its proposed exten-
sion into Silver Cliff from their re-
spective centers, instead of from
Texas Greek, the point reported to
have been selected. There can nc
harm result from active effort to Sc
cure the plum, as such branch
would bring with it considerable busi-
ness to say nothing of the prestige it
would h,ve in locating sTnelters. etc.
The Business association Of Pueblo
on Wednesday last, learning that it
looked reasonable to suppose that the
d. 4 r. G. would build into Silver
Cliff, determined to lay before the
railroads officials the advantage of
the Beulah route, submitted the fol-
lowing letter to the company. The
letter reads:
"Newspapers announce the inten-
tina Of your company To build rail-
way line 70 Silver Cliff from Iexas
Creek. Pueblo is very much inter
ested in getting direct access to the
point you aim at Is it among the
possibilities that you might build the
line via Buelah from Pueblo and there
by open up all this country TO us7 A
short time ago we were trying to get
a company to build a line from this
point to Buelah, feeling that there
was enough prospective business to
warrant same. But there certainly
can be no doubt where the line would
enter the Wet Mountain territory. a

In Memorlam.

colorado, on Saturday, June ~, lSUO,
at 2 o'clock p. M, Jesse RAIDER, aged
II years, i month and 5 days.
Jesse RAIDER was son of William
RAIDER and Elizabeth RAIDER. who re-
sided in Greenville, East Tennessee.
The family afterwards moved to Vir-
ginia where the deceased was born.
June %, 1854, Jesse RAIDER and Eliz-
abeth Bell were united in marriage
at Greenville, East Tennessee. In
September, 1854, Mr.. RAIDER and his
wife moved to Missouri where they
remained until 1865 when they moved
to Colorado, reaching what is now
Canon City October IL, of that year.
While residing in Missouri Mr.. RAIDER
made three trips overland across the
plains, having became infected with
the mining fever and became inter-
ested in several prospects, During
the family residence here they resi-
ded one year at what is now Park
dale and one season in Garden Park,
the time being employed in raising
garden and agricultural products and
making butter. Their neighbors in
these early years were Indians, few
If any white men being in the neigh
borhood. Mr.. RAIDER has served three
terms as sheriff and during the first
term was compelled to keep his
prisoners in his own home. no such
thing as a county Jail being then
known.
The family home has for many
years been on the ranch three and
one-half miles east of Canon City, and
upon this ranch Mr.. RAIDER did his
last manual labor. He realized that
help YVES scarce and becoming
anxious about the hay crop. insisted
upon going into the field to work and
did so, and taking seat upon one of
the moving machines for time held
his own with the rest. The jarring
of the machine and the heat soon
incapacitated him and he was brought
TO his city home and medical assist
ance obtained For three weeks all
that loving hands and the physician's
skill corad do were Of no avail. and on
Saturday last the silent visitor ended
his suffering. He fell asleep and
thus ended useful and active life.
Mr.. RAIDER was kind and indulgent
husband, a loving father and gener-
Gus neighbor.
To this union nine children were
born. as follows:
George. who died at the age of
sixteen years.
Mary, now Mrs. W. A. Stump,
whose children are: Minnie (now
Mrs. ]. 7. Witcher, who has one child,

with a yard attached where they could
obtain all the exercise really needful.
AT first the confined cattle did not
take kindly to their narrow quarters,
but seemed restless and discontinued.
During the first week l believe they
actually lost in weight, and was al
most prepared to say that it paid better
to give fattening steers their freeeom.
Had l not persisted in the experiment
should have drawn improper conclu-
sions, as l doubt not many others have
done heretofore. But after the first
week the confined animals became bet
ter accustomed to their quarters, and
they contentedly chewed their food,
rested good deal, and became fat,
sleek and lazy. Every pound of food
then went to make fat, and it was as.
tonishing to see how rapidly they in
creased in weight. 1t was evident
within a fortnight that the tide had
turned ia favor of the confined cattle.
In order to make them lay on the fat
they did it was essential that they
should be kept quiet and contented,
and this can be done where the sur
roundings are pleasant, the food good,
good, and nothing is allowed to fright
en- them. A little green and tempting
food of an unusual nature should be
given to them occasionally, and this
will help to make them peaceful and
satisfied. In feeding them they should
be given just enough food to make
them fat and lazy, but not enough to
clog up their systems. Then the fat
making process stops. At the end of
two months the confined cattle had
gained between fifteen and twenty five
pounds more than the five allowed to
roam loose in the field, and as it cost
no more to feed them the gain was all
profit"

Combining Fattening Cattle.

"The common method of fattening
cattle while they are roaming about on
on the pasture or range with other
animals is about as improbable as it
can be, and yet many prefer this to con-
fning them," writes William Conway
in Journal of Agriculture. "Proper
food of course is the first essential for
fattening steers, but next to the right
kind Of food we have to consider its
cost. The cost is naturally dependent
upon the amount and the more that the
cattle which are being tattened for
market roam about the greater quality
of food will they require to make
given weight. Not only this, but the
animals are often annoyed by other
cattle in the field, and the worry and
fright might neutralize all the good OBJ
tanned in one days rations. In order
that the food shall do the greatest
amount of good the cattle must have
contented minds. 1t is only necessary
TO make the experiment to satisfy one
of the business of this claim. Two
years ago l had ten steers which l was
ready to fatten for market. They were
about equal TO each other in point of
healthfuluess and promise. To test the
value of combining them during the
fattening period five were turned out to
run wild in pasture all summer, and
the other five were confined in stable

Current Comment.

LUMBER.-As a result OF the action OF the
Eastern Lumber Association, referred 70 at
length u week ago, some wholesale houses
report that they have experienced an i'm
proved demand, but the market taken as
a whole must still, nevertheless, be de-
concessions as merely harbingers OF better
things TO come, or else have determined to
postpone indefinitely all but strictly neces-
sary purchases. For some reason or other,
at any rate, orders are much scarcer than
sellers here think they should be at this
season of the year.
OATs.-The market has worked a trfle
higher during the week, but the de-
mand is quiet with only a hand-to-mouth
business doing. At the clase about 334 to
225c will cover the price OF fancy clipped

Advantages of Farm Life.

1t is very proper that the farmer take
time to look about and consider some
of the advantages that make farm life
desirable and the most pleasing of all
occupations. We can make ourselves
miserable in any position in life it we
think only of its hardships and per-
plexities, and, on the other hand, the
stream of life can be made to flow quite
smoothly if we look upon the bright
side instead of all the time anticipating
misfortunes that may overtake US, or
which we imagine await us in the fu-
ture. Farm life has its advantages
over all other occupations and it is we'll
to consider them as we go along.
One of the advantages of farm life,
says Farmers Guide, is its heathful-
ness. Statistics show that the farmers
life is the most healthful. Forty per
cent of farmers reach the age of 70
years, against 81 per cent among mer-
chants, 80 among soldiers, 20 among
lawyers, and 30 among physicians.
There is less of that worry that short
ems life than in almost any other occu-
patton. True enough the farmer has
10 work hard, and his business is at the
mercy of the destructive elements, the
ravages of insects, and the manipula-
lions of professional gamblers who alb
normaize markets; but take the mer-
chant, the banker, the teacher, the
minister, or any other class, and it will
be found that the rank and file work
hard, and have their world of cares al
80. There are few in all the callings
who work but little and draw big pay,
but these are exceptions and should
not be taken as standards.
A very large per cent of merchants
fail. The fact is that in the face of
statistics of this country, it takes nerve
to embark in the mercantile business,
if man goes in wide awake.
What is causing more uneasiness in
this country than anything else is the
mad scramble for money. There is too
much sham in business. Two many
people are posing as well-to-do, while
they are on the brink of financial ruin.
The inordinate desire for money causes
many people to overreach. They get
in debt. They become the servants of
the money lender and happiness flies
away. The nation, all the states, and
large proportion of the cities are in
debt. No wonder there is 30 much
restlessness.
The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they 60 are the most indie.
pendent people on earth, and, as rule,
that class are not 80 restless. II the
rising generation of farm boys could see
things as they really are, they might be
willing to start on a small scale and ex-
tend their borders as they are able. The
boy shohld not expect to start in life as
swell fixed" as his father is after work
ing for lifetime. Farm life has more
sunshine, balmy breezes, good health,
bird songs, luscious fruit. pure water and
air, wholesome food, than any other,
and if the farmer is out of debt and has
a clear conscience, he has less anxiety
than people of any other calling.

The Good Be0k Steer.

There is no one breed of beef cattle
better than all others under the circum.
stances and conditions. The trouble
with cattle from the butchers stand
point Is too big shoulders, giving the
fore quarters too large proportion to
the rest of the carcass, says the "Indi-
ana Farmer"
The muscles that are exercised the
most are the toughest; for this reason
the inside two-thirds of the round ia
good, while the outside third is not 80
good. A thick, mellow hide-not a
hard, harsh hide-denotes more clean
meat than thin hide. A straight
back, well sprung rib and width of lein
indicate large amount of the high
priced meats in carcass. The COM
parison OF animals ia the show ring is
often 30 close that the awarding Of the
prize turns on very small point, as
tie or dimple in the back, which cuts
no figure in the usefulness or profit of
the animal. A typical beef animal
should have a thicker neck than the
dairy breeds, the flesh should begin at
the front; the animal should have the
greatest possible thickness of flesh
along the back between the shoulders
and the hips and the width of the hip
should be carried forward to the shout
ders' The Angus are the thickest-
feshed beef cattle; their greatest fault
is too much of spread of the shoulder
blades at the top; they do not mature
quite as quick as the Herefords. 1t
would be hard TO tell which of the
beef breeds at thirty-months' old on the
same care and feed would make the
greatest gain. Young animals develop
