COLORADO HIGHWAYS.
How improved Roads Would Beneht
the state.

the state.
Discussing the work now being done
by the National Good Roads associa-
ton, the Denver Republican says:
That the invention of the bicycle
would result in a movement among the
American people for the construction
of good wagon roads was probably not
so much as dreamed of when wheeling
was first introduced as n sport and
means of exercise. 1t is fact, how
ever, that wheelmen and especially the
League of American WheelmeD have
been potent factor in starting just
such a movement.
Horatio Earle, president of the
league, is doing a great public work at
the same time he is promoting the in
terests of members of the league by his
efforts in behalf of good roads. At the
expense of the association he sends n
crew of road builders to different parts
of the country to construct mile or
half a mile of sample road to show the
people what may be accomplished and
to illustrate the advantages of main
tanning highways of that kind.
1t is expected that in course of time
his crew will reach Denver and that Il
strip of good road will be laid from the
city out into the country. When built,
it will be firm and substantial, and it
will be available as part of any pro-
jccted highway that the public may in
tend at some later date to construct.
Too much praise could hardly be given
an association which enables this to
be done.
The fact that our roads rarely get
muddy, like those in some parts Of the
humid region, suggests that the good
roads problem is not one in which Col
oradoans are deeply interested. But
that is great mistake. There is as
much need of good roads here as any
where else though the expense of max
ing them may be less. Colorado is q
tourist state. and circumstances there
fore demand that it have better high
ways than states to which tourists rare
ly 60 Driving over the highways of
certain European countries is one OF
the delights of foreign tour to that
! part of the world. But in the United
States such pleasure is almost un
known. Absorbed in building railroads
with wonderful energy, the Americans
have paid too little attention to Wagon
roads. But, fortunately the wheel
men and others are bringing about
/ better condition.

Chinese Roads.

The Chinese road is private property,
strip taken from somebody's land.
This is done much against the will Of
the owner, since he not only loses the
use of it, but also still has to pay taxes
on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu,
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that Il road thousand years old be-
comes river.

OUR SHEEP IN AUSTRALIA.
The Value of Their Wool Is Now ~Gener-
ally Conceded in That Country.

The Value of Their Wool Is Now -Gener-
ally Conceded In That Country.
The rival Gains of Vermont versus
Australian merinos are exciting consld-
cradle attention among pastoralsts
| throughout the commonwealth. there
having been methDg like dead set
made against Vermont candidates at the
recent stud sheep sales in Sydney, Mel
bourne and elsewhere; and during the
newspaper controversy thus awakened,
nearly all the participants seem to over
look the fact that the Vermont, like the
i Australian. merno, is of the purest blood,
and not an Inferior animal; it is purely a
question of wool.
| Several years ago Mr.. Farlane, an
enterprising pastorallst, owning large
station near the River Murray, imported
a number of Verm ont sheep, and found
the experiment answer so well that he
patronized the Vermonts ever since. In
doing so he has, however, encountered
considerable opposition from the growers
of fine woods, who have predicted all
kinds of horrible results If the number
of Vermont sheep be allowed to increase,
overlooking the fact that the Vermont
wool is not only an improvement on the
ordinary Australian wool, but also more
readily saleable in the worlds market.
The real suifererers by the introduction
of the Vermont sheep will not be the
growers of fine woods, but the grove rs
of inferior kinds. 1t is admitted that the
quantity Of yoke carried by the Vermont
d. is excessive, a secured fleece losing
more than half its original weight, is so
great that the value of the fleece when
secured is higher than that of the Aus
trallan fine wool mernos.
The importers of the Vermont never
intended to substitute them generally for
the Australian breed. Their idea was
that a judicious mixture of the Vermont
and Aus tralian boods would lead to a
: breed of sheep with larger frames and
heavier fleeces than those of the ordinary
merino, and that is exactly what has
been secured. Efforts are being made &c
prevent Vermont from obtaining prizes
| at agricultural shows, but if they are
, found productive of increased profits
, nothing less than legislative prohibition
| can prevent their regular importation
1t remains, howe yer, to be seen how fa
, they may become affected by Australian
, climate influences, point on which
; there exists considerable uncertainty

fields if that which grows elsewhere Is permitted to mature and seed the fields The heads. as has been stated, break mp into short sections that cling to ami. mals, to clothing or are carried along by wind or irrigating water. To prevent this distribution of seed it would pay a farmer to destroy the wild barley growing along the fences and dftches of his neighbors if the latter failed to do so. Every farmer should at least see that the public roads adjacent to his lands are cleared at once of the seed now maturing.
 While seed destruction should be the present procedure, the prevention of seed formation should be the aim dur ing the coming season. Plants are more easily destroyed when small than at any time late in their development. As this grass is the principal one that makes it's appearance along fences and in other waste places during fall and winter. all young grass should be de- stroyed as rapidly as 1t appears. with whatever implement will best accom- plish the desired result. In alfalfa fields the disc harrow is the best imple- ment for the destruction of the grass when young. Running this implement over pastures and meadows one to three times during the winter does much to destroy the wild barley. and benefits rather than injures the alfalfa

THE CONVICTION OF BUTTS
He Came Within an Ace of Escaping
 on Technicality.

The case of Oren Butts. the youth charged with stealing $45 from the trunk of Charles F.. Scifree. was con- cluded in Justice Burnett's court yes- terday. Butts was found guilty and sentenced to 100 days in the county jail. An appeal was taken to the district court and late last night Butts fur nished a $200 bond.
 A motion had been made to dismiss the complaint against Butts on the ground of it's variance from the proof. The complainant stated, among other things, that the money stolen was Illegal money of the United States. though it was proved that 1t consisted of bank notes.
 The defense was supported by a Texas case in which there was a similar allegation in the complaint. though it was proved that the stolen money con- sisted of silver certificates. In the Texas case, however, only the lump sum of money. $29, was named, followed by the erroneous description. In the Butts case the complaint contained the words: "The personal property of Charles F.. Scrifres, towit: Four bills of the denomination of $10 and one bill of the denomination of $5" Then fol- lowed the words: ''In all $45 legal money of the United States. Justice Burnett held that though the succeed ing words might be erroneous. they were after all uperdescricptive and unnecessary and that the property had been previously correctly and sufIi- ciently described.
 lt will be remembered that this whole case came to rest upon a diary belong ing to Scifres. in which he entered everything that had ever happened to him. The stolen money was a part of $65 which he had lately received for a horse, seven bills. The numbers of all these bills. the banks which issued them, certain marks which Scifres had either found upon them or made upon them were entered in this diary with great accuracy. It was one of these bills that was found in Butts vest pocket in his trunk.
 In looking over Scifres diary yester- day. Justice Burnett made the curious discovery that three of these seven bills had been in his possession before. They were described in entries made by him as long as six months ago. All of which goes to show that when money once gets to circulating in a neighborhood it follows a kind of beaten path.
