of the flood is difficult to estimate.

One lone man took refuge In n shan
ty erected by some prospector at the
head of Trout Creek canon. but saw
the great body of water coming down,
barely getting out in time to see the
shanty dashed to pieces and washed
down the creek. At Salida the rain
was also severe, and did considerable
damage to the roadbed of the Rio
Grande railroad. 1t will be several
months before the grade and tracks of
the Colorado 4 Southern can be re-
placed. which has completely cut Off
this roads connection with Gunnison.
There is nothing to indicate any sign
of n track or roadbed over the greater
part of the mileage destroyed as the
rails are buried in the mud and sand
and the ties are either washed out on
to the ranch lands or covered up like
the rails. The storm seems to have

PERFORM AT
COLORADO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs. Colo, Aug 4.-The
closing events of the Quarto- Centen-
NAL celebration yesterday We're some
what marred by the rain.
The most spectacular and thorough
ly western of all the features of the
Quarto-Centennial celebration was on
Saturday morning, being the cowboys
tournament The tournament was
held in front of the big double grand
stand on Cascade avenue. 1t was typ
ical of life on the big ranches. 1t
brought out the cowpuncher in all of
his picturesqueness. 1t, too, attracted
the largest crowd of tourists of any of
the celebrations, as it was all new to
the people from the East, although,
probably, it was familiar to the people
of Colorado.
1t was thoroughly cowboy enter
tainment, consisting of bucking bron-
chos, racing and other features of
every cowman's day. The boys from
the plains and mesas, toO, entered into
it with all the dash and vim and vigor
for which they are justly famous.
The scene from the grandstand was
one of picturesque delight. The pictur-
esque cowboys and rough riders, the
traditional Indian in all his war paint
bronchos of the advance agents of civ
ilZation. formed n striking contrast to
the dashing steeds and correct uni
forms of the officers in charge of the
tournament, as well as the representa-
tive men and women of the latter day
generation. assembled in the grand
stand, on the grounds, and wherever n
bit of space was obtainable.
The first event was tent pegging,
won by Joe Williams.
Harvey Mauck won first prize, $50,
in broncho busting" feature. His an
imal was what Bill Nye would have
termed "a low browcd brute without
breeding" 1t had all the characteris-
tics of mustang; evil tempered, wick
ed. treacherous. Harry Brown was
awarded second prize, 500.
Bert Ireland, n nineteen year-old boy,
was awarded a special prize of SO for
his horsemanship in the line of bron-
cho busting"
There We're thirty cowboys in the con-
test. and each demonstrated himself
an adept in the saddle. In addition to
the broncho busting" there was an ex-
hibition of lariat throwing and roping

Industrious than she is when left to

som some months before the southern
sage brush. The bee-farmer, there
fore. carts his bees about from place
to place as the seasons advance, and
thus, by keeping them busy nine
months of the year. gets three crops of
honey. The difficulty of moving bees
during the active season is overcome
by travelling at night. AS the bees
help to pollenize the flowers and thus
produce superior fruit, the owners of
the orchards regard them with favor.
In results the plan is even better than
that of the enterprising farmer who
crossed his bees with firefiies so that
they could work nights.
