The Cutting OF Weeds.

In every country town the great
question in spring in that Of weeds.
The country newspapers in a .ew
weeks will begin 10 publish the adj
monition. Cut your weeds" and
later will follow it by attacks and
appeals to the public spirit OF the
negligent or parsimonious. The
Iowa legislature undertook 20 rcsu-
late the matter of weed cutting by
statute, and the last general assem-
by passed law requiring land
owners TO cut the weeds ON highways
and adjacent to their land. and pro-
y'ding that if they failed to com
ply with the law the weeds we're 10
be cut and the expense charged MP
against the land. The result hiss
been trouble in every part Of Iowa.
When the law Is enforced there j.
complaint and when t Is not there
L. complaint, and 30 the local author
itlc' have had their hand. iull. At
the present session a DIN was intro
duced by representative Wilson. of
Neokuk, TO opNorize the supervisor,
to cnt the weeds and pay for the
work as for any othcT improvement.
The importance Of weed ,uI.,rs c,-
irg recognized by the si.agcr; mi

I'LL passed the houe without d.h-
cu'ty When it came oe.l-, lc sen.
ate, however, it met with the de-
termined opposition Of Senator.
Hartman and Wallace. who d.
clarcd that the present law should
be enforced and the counties money
might better be spent for other inn
provements. Like the country edi-
tors. they believe it is the duty II
every man to cut his own weeds
And so the bill failed in the senate
II Is just as well that it did. The
present law should be enforced. and
If any man lacks the public spirit
to cut his weeds the country editor,
will probably see OF it that he is
mulcted.

One feature OF the gambling case was
up before Police Magistrate Dyer this
morning. Kenneth Mcdonald was not
present, but was represented by his at

represented by City Attorney Campbell.
MIR Whieley offered the following type
written request that rs client might
enter plea of noio contendere:
"Comes now the defendant above

mits this, his plea in the above entitled

has tried 10 obey the ordinances and the
laws in regard to gambling; that he has
not violated the laws himself or consent.
ed or acquiesced in their violation; that
! inasmuch as the police officers OF the
CITY of Boulder say that the acts COM
planned of were actually committed he is
unwilling to contest the charge. having
no personal knowledge of it, whatever.
The said defendant therefore asks to be
allowed to file this plea of nolo con

MIR Campbell stated that he understood
Mr. Mcdonald denied knowledge OF
faro being played in his house or lay
out being there. 1t was first ofense
the first charge OF any kind against Mr.
Mcdonald and he would be willing to
let the plea stand with fine of S25 and

capacity and the city attorney woulc

After some higgling MIR Campbell wrote
the following:
"In re Kenneth Mcdonald, city attor

And so was ordered. But tina

Colorado University Defeats Kans - IN

The university students are again re
joic,ng. In sharply contested and
clear cut debate in the Presbyterian
church last night, the Colorado univei-

ton they defended would fail to appeal
to the average Colorado audience. Kan

ton Resolved that u. S Senators
Should be Elected by Popular Vote of
the People" while the university took
the negative. The local men met their
opponents on every point and advanced
some on their own side that were un.
answerable. The visitors, however, were
opponents Of no mean order and the
exactness and lucidiiy of their argu-
msnts were worthy of much credit.
The program was opened by an ex-
cellent number by the university glee
club and then Mr. Hyatt. for the affirm.
alive, was introduced. The speakers
then alternated for both sides, Mr. Hyatt
for Kansas and Mr. Coad for Colorado
closing in rebuttal. The university man
dolin club gave musical number while
the decision of the judges was being
figured. The announcement made by
Chairman Petersen that Colorado was
the winner by vote OF two 10 one was
met with prolonged cheers.
The. board OF judges comprised Hon.
R. H. Wh:teley, Judge S. S. Downer and
Hon. J. P. Maxwell, the latter beng the
Judge that voted for the visitors.
The representatives were as follows:
Affirmative-kansas: w. F. Mowery,
w. S. Hyatt, Geo. L. Davis. Negative
Colorado: FIJI Hopkins. H. w. Coad,

The contestants from Kansas were
pleasing in appearance and manner and
the local students did everything posi-
BILE to make their stay agreeable to them.
They left for home this afternoon after
spending the day in the mountains under

Some newspapers are just now dis
cussing the probable ending of the
lumber business. in Minnesota. An
estimate was made that the business
would end soon, and Frederick Wey-
erhaeuser gave the following opinion
on the matter: The idea that the pine
supply Of Minnesota will be exhausted
in five years is foolish, and the state
ment that only 1000, 100000 feet of
standing pine remain is wide Of the
TRUTH Our mills, the Pine Tree Lum-
ber company at Little Falls and the
North erna and Cloquet. Lumber Com
panies>at Cloquet, have timber enough
to stock them for fifteen or twenty
years, and we are buying more all the
time. Our new mill at Lake Neba-
canon will be saving for fourteen
years. I would be willing to accept an
estimate of twenty-five billion feet in
Minnesota and pay a good price for it.
I believe the total amount is nearer
forty billion IVddenn Pioneer.
