1t is manifested plain that the re.
tailers the state need a little edu.
cation on the subject Of patronizine
home industry. In Denver tho
manufacturers say that of the
greatest drawbacks they are COM
PEELED to withstand is the apparent
carelessness of the retailers of the
city. The big department stores
prefer to buy the eastern article in
carload lots because they can buy
it cheaper. Very often this cheap
stock is prison-make or the pro-
duct of the sweat shops where men
and women are supposed to subsist
upon from so to 60 cents per day.
II is not the purpose Of the write
to argue in this column. He be-
lieves that it is better for news
paper to place the facts before the
people and allow them as intelligent
men and women to draw conclu-
sions for themselves.
1t is reasonable to conclude,
however, that the manufacturers OF
Denver cannot compete with this
class of goods and it is also reason
able to conclude that the loyal peo-
pie of Colorado should not ask
them TO do so.

Largest Timber ssle In cososado's hisaosy
The largest sale Of timber in the
history of the state, advertised fol
tomorrow, has attracted dealers
from throughout the state and bid
ding promises to be lively. Mr..
Burnette, of Denver, was hobnob-
bing with lumbermen in the Brown
Palace hotel last night, l.. c. Jak-
way of Stubs & Jakway of Duran
go, the largest dealers in lumber in
the state, is prominent among the
prospective bidders.
Guarding against any chance
statements that might be inadvert-
entity made to injure their respective
plans, none OF the bidders would talk
Of the coming sale. The land is in
Montezuma county and covers all
Of two townships and contains r.
ooo, 900 feet of The best timber in
the state. 1t is calculated to bring
$40, 900 at the minimum price fixed
by law for ten-inch trunks.
Tins way OF bidding IS much
more satisfactory than the old plan,
said Mr.. Jakway. Formerly the
state allowed anybody to cut the
timber and settle afterwards and
sometimes settlement was delayed
five or ten years and sometimes for
ever. Legitimate timber men stood
no better chance than the persons
who are now violating the law, but
the legitimate competition created
by the bidding process has made it
worth while to build up business. :"

The state will come out loser by
several thousand dollars on the
above sale.

An ingenious man in Bent
county says the covers he made for
his alfalfa hay last fall cost thirty
dollars and that they preserved
more hay than could be put in a
thousand dollar barn. He sawed
sixteen-foot 2x4's in two, bolted
the ends together, placed them six
feet apart over his stacks and nailed
on siding, making a complete rool
in six-foot panels. He bored in
the down-hanging ends Of the 2x4's
and tied weights to them to keep the
wind from blowing them off. Hi.
alfalfa come out as green and brigh,
as the day it was put up. The
covers paid for themselves this win
ter and will last for years.-Fielt

The fight between Governor
Thomas and T. NJ. Patterson is
childish and out Of place. Both
have an AK to grind and when SO
much explaining is necessity with
any man who seeks an Office within
the gift OF the people it is a good
plan to let him alone. Colorado
wants a clean, untarnished repre-
sentative of her people for United
States Senator and both Thomas
and Patterson smell too much Of
corporations to be exactly up to
standard. Bring forth free, clean
and untarnished friend of the peo.
pie, democrat and true friend oi

over any corporation supporter

1t is utter foolisliness to expect
that an irrigation system for the
Southern Ute lands will be built
with the appropriation secured by
Senator Henry NJ. Teller for that
purpose. II is the intention of the
United States Geological depart
ment to exhaust the entire appro-
priation on surveys of reservoir
site, etc. This fact has been ad-
mitted to a reliable resident of
Montezuma county by one Of the
surveyors connected with the geo.
logical department. 1t is an out
rage that such practices can be pos
sible and simply illustrates one of
the farces played by government
officials to a submissive and appar-
emily willing audience of suckers.
1t serves, however, as another evi-
dencc that United States senators
and the president should be elected
by popular vote.
