Denver. June S.-Capt. Charles II.

answering your letter OF May 2Sth.
l hasten to say that | have taken the
matter up of the Denver soldiers home
with the committee on rules and with
other leaders of the House and all be
lievC II an unwise thing To consider.
Reports from the governors OF the
homes show that We still have ca
pacity for 5000 additional soldiers in
the homes. This would seem to settle
the question as to the propriety Of CS-
tahNshing another, especially when we
have lust given a sanitarium to the
Hot Springs of South Dakota. which
will lake care of very many who need
the curative powers of the waters.

Mr.. Balfour concluded with formally
moving the vote OF 10000.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp

Kitchener ms n soldier and statesman.
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist. led

located southwest of the Mckenzie
well, near the wagon road, and south

ago there was a report that the well
had reached oil. but IL did not amount
TO much. Last week the workmen
Were laid or. There was then some
faint indications of oil. Drilling was
resumed this week. This morning at
O'Clock, after going through thirty
feet Of sand. at depth OF 3.I5o feet,
strong flow was struck This is sup

FARMING MATTERS.

The Franklin Cattle Company has
received about the last of 10000 head
of twO-year-Old Texas cattle pur-
chased recently and turned loose in
this section and at Belle FOurche,
South Dakota. says a Gillette. WyOm-
ing, dispatch. These cattle were
raised in the Panhandle of Texas. and
most of them We're branded and turn
ed over at Denver. In the branding
a newly-invented brand was used,
heated by gasoline. in order TO acceler-
ate the work. The brand is of copper
and is a tube. heated from the inside
by the gasoline flame. which burns
three hours with one filling. To refill
takes about the time it does to heat an
ordinary branding iron in the fire. The
Franklin company branded about 100
head an hour with the new device.
Anthrax is spreading among cattle
all over the state. says the Denver
News of June 9th. Where it is least
expected that dread disease makes its
appearance and carries of many head
before its ravages can he checked. DR..
\. b. McCapes. the state veterinary
surgeon, is unable to account for the
prevalence of the disease in Colorado
at this particular time of year. He
has fears that it may become epidem-
ic. That is impossible. he says, if the
stockmen will report the disease
promptly when it makes its first ap-
pearance and properly dispose of the
dead. DIR. McCapes yesterday received
advices that anthrax had broken out
among some cattle near Walsenburg.
and that fifteen head had died. The
appearance of the disease there shows
it was not thoroughly stamped out the
last time and that it will lurk among
cattle for a long time before it will
manifest itself. Under those conditions
large numbers of cattle are carried
off very quickly. The disease is n
germ complaint. much more difficult
to stamp out than first anticipated.
