A Small Fire.

An alarm OF fire was sounded at about
9:45 o'clock last night. The fire was To-
Gated in small building adjoining the
Office OF the Grand Junction Water COM
pany and which was occupied as resi-
dence by Jud Phsres, who works on the
night shift at the round house.
Mrs Phares and baby had left the
house about $3.50 to visit at the home of
friend. 1t was during her absence
that the house caught fire. The depart
ment put the fire out although the in
terror was badly burned with all the be-
lopgipgs OF Mr.. Phares
No cause for the fire has been discov-
cred as yet and it may have been the
work Of the incendiary, although no rea-
son for the torch of the incendiary to be
applied to the house can be ascribed
The property belongs to Ira M. De
Long, and had no insurance. The house
is quite small and the loss is slight, out
side the loss to Mr.. Phares, which con-
sisted mostly of household goods.

A Slight Rain.

The slight rain which has fallen thus
far today has been welcomed by every
body. The air seems to be purer and
freer from dust and much cooler.
On the hills south Of this city and on
the Book Cliffs there have been heavy
showers which will break the backbone
OF the long drawn out heated term. The
length of the long dry spell has hardly
been equalled in the Grand valley since
it was settled. There has been very lit
tie rain here since along the first part Of
April.
1t is anticipated that now the rains
have started in the hills surrounding
this valley, that there cannot be very
extended period OF hot weather.

that this intensive system in recent
horticulture is responsible for much OF
the increase of blight of the present
time.
l would, therefore, advise the prun-
ing of terminal buds, so as to prevent
the development of succulent shoots
of new wood, and to throw the growth
into the fruit spurs.
The minimum of cultivation or keep
ing of the orchards in sod for num-
ber of years.
The discontinuance of ammoniated
fertilizers and the liberal use of potash
either muriate, kainit, or wood ashes.
Vigorous and persistent efforts must
also be made to fight the disease when
it appears.
All diseased parts should be cut out
as soon as they appear 1t is not suf-
ficient to cut Immediately below where
the healthy and diseased wood join,
otherwise a portion of apparently
healthy wood will be left which con-
tains the germs and which will con-
tinue to spread. Cut not less than 12
inches below the point.
Remember, too, that if pruning
knives or shears cut into the diseased
wood, they may infect healthy wood,
hence the instruments while in Use
should be kept wet by dipping in )
per cent solution of carbolic acid. 1t
is also advisable to smear the cut ends
of the larger limbs with crude carbolic
acid or carbolized tar.
The brush from the removal of
blighted wood should be burned and
not left under the trees as is commonly
the case. The pruning should be done
throughout the growing season, and
once in the winter, so as to remove all
"hold-over" blight.
The general healthfulness of pear
trees will be increased by spraying
them several times during the year,
and to prevent body trouble popularity
known as "canker," brush the bodies
of the trees with very thick Bordeaux
mixture, made by taking the ordinary
mixture and adding enough additional
lime to bring to the consistency of
whitewash.
The control and eventual annihila-
ton of blight depends upon unified
effort. One negligent fruit grower viii
undo the efforts of dozen careful
ones. and the injured persons should
have recourse to law to force action on
the part of those who fail to take steps
toward the suppression of this disease.

EXCURSION RATES TO AS WELL.
AS FROM THE EAST.

The Trans Missouri Committee OF
the Western Passenger Association is
holding its annual meeting at the
Brown Palace hotel. A surprise was
sprung ON the committee at the morn
ing session, by General Passenger
Agent Sebanstain, of the Rock Island.
Beginning about June 20, the Rock
Island will run four excursions from
Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha to Colorado common points,
making rate of one fare plus So for
the round trip and return limit of Octo-
Der 31st on the tickets. These excur-
sions will be run as special excursion
trains and about the same dates return
excursions will be run from Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo to the
Eastern points, the same rate prevail
ing, thus enabling Colorado people de-
string to do so ito make tourist trips
East during the summer, with the same
advantages granted Eastern tourists
who come West.

were killed, 13S wounded and 113 re-

day. therefore we concluded that the
ll3 missing were all killed or wounded.
That made the total casualties OF the

strength. The fighting took place at a
range varying from 200 TO 300 yards
