remiss in any year in urging at>
tendance upon Glenwood's annual
Strawberry fete. 1t will find also
that personal canvass of this city
was made by us to secure a large
delegation to the first Strawberry
Day, and we succeeded. 1t will
find also that Ouray or Telluride or
any other western slope town has
never held celebration, to which
this paper did not work for its sue
cess and urge upon our citizens
an attendance upon same. With
the Festival of Mountain and Plain
it is another matter. That celebra>
ton actually draws trade away
from all portions of the state and is
hurtful to our business interests,
hence it is a duty for us to urge its
abandonment, if not permanently,
then temporarily. This is done in
good faith and with no desire to
hurt Denver, but as a means of self
protection. Denver is under as
much obligation to the rest of the
state as it is to Denver and honors
are we'll divided.

Kipling, whose literary glory is
waning fast. would treat the Beers
as rebels. Under what rules OF
military warfare they can be SO re-
garded has not been determined, by
the best military geniuses in the
country. Kipling, an authority
unto himself, however, decides that
they should be treated as such. Be-
cause a man can write fool stuff
about jungle animals and have fool
people go datty over the tales to
satisfy fad, is no reason why he
should be permitted any license in
the treatment of prisoners Of wal, of
as noble foe as ever fought En-
gland. The country and its people
in no wise represent rebels or
rebellion, but solely patriots fights
ing in defense OF their country.

cHoRE BOY TO MILLIONAIRE.

To advance from the humble posi-
ton Of "chore boy" on q farm, receiv-
ing fifty cents week, to be one Of
the leading business men Of state Is
indeed long step, but this is what
has been accomplished by James OIL
yer, Of South Bend. Ind. He has fought
his way alone and unaided from power
ty to riches, and now holds a proml-
nent place in social and industrial
circles. Mr.. Oliver was born in Scot
land in 1923. and came to America
when thirteen years of age. He locat-
ed in Geneva. N. Y, and secured a
place on farm at fifty cents week.
His father and brother had preceded
him to America and were located on
another farm near by. In 1885 the
three removed to Indiana, and James
secured employment on a farm at Sc
a month. Saving a little money, he
made an Investment in real estate,
which gave him a start. Then he
learned the molder's trade and in 1856
became a manufacturer on a small
scale. His business grew and, by de-
vfsing plan whereby an Improvement
he had long sought was accomplished,
he was started on the road to riches.
Success, having once smiled upon him,
became lavish in the bestowal of her
bounty and his wealth is now estimat-
cd at from $10,0OO,O00 to SIS. .O00, 900.
Although one of Indiana's wealthiest
men, Mr.. Oliver remembers his early
struggles, and the rough hand of the
honest laborer is today as warmly
grasped by him as is the gloved hand
Of the aristoosat. He Is a firm friend

No act is SO universally cons
demned among the wage earning
men and women OF this country,
than an attempt to jeopardize their
means Of livlihood by imperiling
their positions. What necessity is
there for holding elections, placing
men in positions of public trust, if
they are to be controlled, badgered
and their means of daily existence
threatened, if they fail to bow to the
will of their employer, or his
friends, or a self constituted politi-
cal dictator. Why not throw up
all government. secure permits for
mere existence and let the ward
"shindy" do the governing act. 1t
is fortunate for the employed that
men Of ripe judgment, successful
men, men without hair trigger and
hair Drained sense, usually are ems
ployers, as otherwise their position
would be worse than slavery.

NEW USE OF EXHAUST.
Waste Steam May he Used to Run an
Auxiliary Engine.

Auxiliary Engine.
For many years 1t has been known
that the steam engine did not utilize
all its energies. The ordinary high
pressure engine, which discharged Its
exhaust steam into the air, used hardly
more than per cent of the value OF
the fuel burned under its boiler. The
compound engine, which condensed the
steam and returned the warm water to
the boilers, used only II to 13 per cent
Of the fuel energy. Here ingenuity
seemed to stop until a device was In
vented for using the heat of the ex-
liquid, which, having a lower boiling
point than water, required less heat
for the process than does water. This
process is the joint discovery of g.
Behrend, Hamburg engineer, and DR..
Zimmerman of Ludwigshafen, and 1t
gains as high as Sc per cent additional
motive power without increasing the
expenditure of fuel. The liquid they
chose for evaporation is sulphurous
acid, which is cheap. easily obtained.
and Is SO oily that 1t lubricates the in
ner working surfaces of the machinery
without corroding them. The steam
passes into the surface condenser or
evaporizer, in which the cooling me-
dunn, instead of being water, is liquid
sulphurous acid, the boiling point of
which is SO low that the liquid is de-
composed Immediately by the heat of
the exhaust steam, liberating sulphur
dioxide gas. This gas passes over into
the cylinder of an auxiliary engine,
where Its work is done as in an ordi-
nary steam engine. Then the sulphur
GUS vapor enters the surface condens-
er, is condensed to liquid by cold water
tubes and is forced by a pump back
into the vaporizer to do its work over
again. With a fairly economical COM
pound engine, using sixteen and ono
half pounds OF steam for each indi-
Gated horse power hour. half an indi-
Gated horse power can be produced in
the auxiliary machine for every indi-
Gated horse power developed in the
main engine.-New York Press.

has been leased for the present season.
Mr.. Sinsheimer, OF the Oxnard Con-

cultural speculation on his own account,
and will grow 25 acres Of sugar beets.
When such men, possessing full knowl-
edge OF all the features OF the business,
undertake to grow beets for personal

should certainly not hesitate to tackle the

H w. McCandless is spending a
short vacation at his old home in
Rural. For several years he has
been engaged in manufacturing min
nature incandescent lamps in New
York City. The business has grown
to large proportions, among his Gus
toners being some of the leading
mem bers of the 400" who use the
lamps for decorating purposes. MIR.
McCandless last year purchased his
partners interest and became sole
proprietor of the concern on Cort-
land street. which is known as
the Empire Lamp works. He
is now planning to incorporate the
concern and receive into it some ex-
perienced men of another miniature
incandescent concern. a move which
promises to make his factory the
largest of it's kind in America. MIR.
McCaudless was born and brought up
in Rock Island county and is a gradu-
ate of Champaign university. His
success in the metropolis, where so
many obstacles have to be overcome,
is very gratifying to his many friends
hereabouts.
