Antelope are becoming numerous ir

were almost extinct two years ago
We see already families of beaver

they have had to be killed to protect

caribou are found in larger numbers

with quail and Chinese p~heasants
we are lot SO fortunate. These birds
have been imported and turned loose
year after year, but their propagation
SO far has proven anything but a sue
cess. 1t is true that in the state of
Idaho, where the same climatic con-
ditions seem to exist, they are be-
coming plentiful and doing well. There
has been many theories advanced by
people who have studied the ques-
ton, one being that as they are both
roosting birds, the ground vermin, 80
plentiful in this state, kills them off.
Another, that the covering is too
scant and the winters too severe, and
in the case of the Chinese pheasant
that a sudden change in the weather
will often freeze him fast to the
ground, thus holding him a prisoner
until he is eaten or dies of starvation

FOR NEXT A CLIP.
Spectators Attempt to Negotiate
With Montana FIockmasters.

Judging from present indications
the outlook for the Montana wool
growers next season is about as
bright as it very well could be, that is
SO far as it relates to prospective
prices. The continued bad news from
Australia and the scarcity of wool in
the foreign markets, together with
the unusual demand for the staple
which has marked the condition Of
the domestic market have combined
to cause a decided bullish feeling to
prevail in speculative circles. AS a
result many of the spectators are
beginning to lay plans for the com
ing season and if they succeed wool
prices next summer should attain fig
ures that would be eye-openers to all
concerned.
AS an evidence Of the demand that
has already grown for prospective
stocks it is only necessary to say that
some of those who speculate in the
staple have applied themselves to the
task of %cornering the product of the
1908 clip. Some of the large produc-
ers in different parts of the state have
received letters from the east ask
ing them to place a price on the crop.
So far as can be learned none of
those who have been thus favored has
taken advantage of the opportunity
to negotiate so far in advance. They
seem to be afraid to do anything I'M
til later, apparently considering that
it is a trife too early yet to bind them
selves. Then, too, the fact that they
a contract at this season salts
ies them that but little is to be lost
by waiting las they accept it as an
augury of the good things in store
for them when the market opens.
Many are of the opinion that 20 cents
will be paid for good, clean wool next
year and that that price will be the
rule rather than the exception.

WAS A cHUM OF EUGENE FIELD.
Death of a Printer Recalls Incident
of Early Days in Leadville.

VI early Lays IN
Richard Pugh, a resident of the
Onion Printers home, died of paraly-
sis recently at the home at Colorado
Springs, after a weeks illness, aged
67 years. Since 1873 Mr.. Pugh has
been a resident of Denver, where he
was a prominent member of Typo
graphical union No. 40. He leaves
a wife and five grown children. The
funeral vas held from the home.
Mr.. Pugh was a native of Wales
and came to this country when a boy.
He resided in st. Joseph, Mo-, before
coming to Denver in 1878, and from
that date until 1882 he held the posi-
ton Of foreman on the Republican.
When the international convention of
labor considerations was held in
Pittsburg in 1885, he was sem as
a delegate from this city, and was
also n of the three directors of the
Denver Typographical union for many
years.
Pugh was an intimate friend of
Eugene Field and aided him in his
joking propensities. Calvin Morse,
proprietor Of the Oxford hotel, knew
Pugh and Field in the palmy days
of Leadville, and he narrates "a story
of the pair.
When the late H. A. w. Tabor had
completed his opera house in Lead
vile, noted actors amused the cosmo-
politan population of the great min
ing camp. Among stars we're Mod
jeska, Barrett and Mccullough, a
trinity hat Field immortalized in one
of his poems.
Well, it happened that Field and
WinsloW Browne. the Texas Siftings
man, and ''Dicky" Pugh went up to
Leadville to celebrate the birth of
Tabor's theater. OF course, they had
a good time, but on the third day
of the celebration" they awoke not
only to find themselves famous, but
''broke." They knew that Denver
could not exist without them, so they
started out to raise enough money
to get back. At noon Field ran into
Tabor at the Golden Palace" and
a brilliant inspiration struck him. He
persuaded Tabor to let them have
the theater for that night, and then
went up to the Miner. Office and had
Joe Blake print a lot of big posters
announcing that the Paragon COM
pany" <(giving their names) would
play the great tragedy, "a Burning
Shame" dramatized by Gene Field
from the poem of Alexander Pope.
OF course, the name was "piped'
by Field, but everybody in Leadville
knew about him and nearly the en-
tire population bought tickets at 50
apiece and went to the show that
night to have some fun with Field.
"Dicky' Pugh was in the box of
fee, while Field and Browne fixed up
their plot behind the scenes. When
all of the tickets were sold and the
was packed, Pugh locked the
doors opening from the corridors
out into the street and sneaked around
to the "greenroom" door and gave
the signal. Field kept the audience

nothing but food. But, when

When usual food is a burden,
it feeds you enough to restore
