Mayor Wright yesterday received n
letter, in verse, from DIR. Rufus G..
Wells of st. Louis, suggesting that an
incident of Presidents McKinley's Wis
1t to Denver be a ride in an enormous
gas ballon. from which he might be
seen by all behOlders. The letter was
referred to the transportation commit
tee. There have been other extrava-
CANT propositions. as is usually the
case on such occasions. The ..unwrit-
ten law which prevents President
from leaving the United States during
his term of office-to say nothing
about common sense-would probably
prevent his trying to get too near
J heaven.

Denver. Colo, May 11.-Forest Su-
perintendent w. 7. S. May has re-
ceived directions from Washington to
proceed at his earliest convenience to
Grand county, this state, for the pur-
pose of examining remarkable grove
of spruce trees to which the attention
of the Department of Forestry has
been called by II. Nicholson of this
city. Nicholson says that the forest
of silver spruce trees is second only
to the big trees of the Yosemite in in
terest. The trees are six feet in d.
amter and the grove covers an entire
township of thirty-six square miles.
He requested the department to have
the region examined Immediately with
the object of setting apart the entire
township as n forest reserve. Mr.,
Nicholson, as n forest expert, has ad-
vised that II large tract north of the
Grand river reservation be set apart
from entry and retained as a perma-

INDUSTRIAL ERAS.
The Industrial history Of Colorado
comprises several distinct periods, each
forming a successive era Of It's pro-
gress. The first era was that Of gold
then came the livestock industry and
with It the vast herds Of cattle upon
the range. Following in due time came
mines, yielding fabulous fortunes and
starting afresh the tide Of Western i'm
migration Following naturally agrl-
culture, which had been restricted to
the maintenance Of the home in the
scattering settlements, grew rapidly in
to one Of the leading industries Of the
people and the towns and cities found
ed in the agricultural divisions of the
state have grown rich and powerful
Manufacture, which had scarcely pro-
crossed beyond the experimental stage,
In the early years, suddenly sprang
forth as a leading factor among the
self sustaining industries, and has
grown and nourshed until many Of its
products, notably among them mining
and smelter machinery, find growing
markets in all parts Of the world
Lastly, the era Of gold has been res
tored and the mines are pouring out
their increasing millions Of treasure
Such is the wonderful combination OF
Colorados boundless resources Not
upon gold alone, nor upon silver MOI
agriculture, nor any industrial basis
singly, will Colorado henceforth meas
ure the periods of It's prosperity, but
upon the foundation Of all this com
bination of material wealth It will build
upward and outward and It's course
will be onward and irresistible to the
goal Of its greatness in all that human
industry and intelligence In the posses
sion Of boundless wealth implies

T. Bailey, one of Beloit's Oldest and
earliest settlers died at 4:3O Saturday
morning, of heart failure, aged II years.
Deceased was born near Ashtubula, O.,
where his early life was spent. At the
age of twenty-one he came to the little
settlement on Rock river called Beloit
and cast in his lot with the other sturdy
pioneers who shaped it's early destiny
and developed it's resources. In 1888 he
was elected town chairman which en-
titled him to place on the county board
and he has held the office continuously
since that time For a number of years
he has been chairman of the building
committee, one of the most important
committees of the board. Those who
have worked with him speak in unstinted
praise of his many adorable qualities and
all who know him pay him the merited
tribute of being such a man that the
community can i'll afford to lose. The
funeral services were held on Tuesday
and largely attended.

4 Truly Wonderful Cow.

Gov. Scofield's famous red muley COW
which cut more of a figure in Wisconsin
politics than most of the dark horses,
went home to Oconto last week. She
was again shipped by express, but this
time at least there was no frank at
tached to the crate in which she was
confined, and express charges amount
ing to something like $40 were paid for
her transportation. The label on the
crate bore the inscription: "Scofield's
COW returning home by express after
four years of official life, older but wiser.
The governors COW has established a
record outside of politics. Gov. Scofeld
has always claimed she was the most
wonderful cow in America, and he has
told Dean Henry of the university agri-
cultural school, and other experts, stor-
les about the richness of her milk which
caused them to smile wisely and talk
about the official tests as furnishing the
only real estimates. This nettled the
governor, and recently he MIXED the
cow and sent a sample of her produce to
Dean Henry to be tested The result
astonished the dean and his experts. 1t
showed S.4 pounds of butter fat to 100
pounds of milk, which would produce
9610 pounds of butter. The average
test in Wisconsin is 35 per cent. Occa-
sionally 55 per cent. is obtained, but
Dean Henry in his report admitted that
the result shown by the test OF the gov
errors COW is abnormal. Dairy and
Food Commissioner Adams says that 6
per cent would be surprising result.
The cow was raised by the governor
from an idea of his own in breeding, and
is mixture of Jersey and Polled Angus
blood.-State Journal.
