The President on Admiral Schley.

The following is a summary of President
Roosevelt's conclusions in the case of Rear
Admiral Schley:
The battle OF Santiago was a captains
battle, and each captain fought his own
ship in his own way;
The credit for the victory belongs to Ad-
miral Sampson, who planned and bore the
responsibility of the engagement;
Next, to Commodore Schley, the second in
command;
Next, to captains and officers who handled
the ships and fought the guns;
Admiral Sampson was not present at the
battle, but no other officer assumed com
mand or directed the fleet, beyond man
euvering the ships under his command;
Therefore, the credit belongs to each man
according to his rank and responsibility
Commodore Schley's part in the battle
was confined to the operations of the
Brooklyn, which were creditable, except
the loop, which was mistake

COLORADO FARM CROPS PRODUCE WEALTH
AND INDUSTRIOUS FARMERS BECOME RICH

The Denver Chamber of Commerce,
in view of the great agricultural re-
yival that appears to he In progress
in Colorado. and believing that the
agricultural resources and oppOrtun-
ties of the state are not full appreci-
ated either ut home or abroad, recent
ly addressed letters to Il number of
practical farmers asking them to give
their experience for the information of
the public and the benefit of others who
may be looking for an opening In that
line of industry 1t was thought that by
this means something more tangible
might be arrived ut than the hearSay
statements of large farm profits so
widely current.
The results so far have been highly
gratifying. Almost without exception
the letters tell pleasing story of pros
perity. Ex-Governor h. ii. Eaton one
of the largest owners of farm proper
ty in the state. took a live interest in
the matter and largely through his eff
forts there has been quite general
and immediate response from the vi
cinity of Eaton in Weld county. \
number of the most Interesting of
these letters are printed herewith.
The Eaton district is one of the typi-
cal farming sections of the state and
there are probably twenty or more
other localities whose farmers could
tell an equally good story. Just as good
results. for instance, have been
achieved in the Arkansas valley in
southern Colorado and, along the
Grand river and its tributaries in the
western part of the state. Reading
these letters tempts us all to turn
farmers. They also furnish conclusive
evidence that COloradO's position as
the greatest producer of the precious
metals among the states of the Union
is not her only claim to eminence. Her
waters that wash out gold in the noun
tains run down to the plains to irri-
gate grain. fruit trees. alfalfa and SUI
gar beets.
When farmers make money their
prosperity is shared by all. for those
products which sustain life must nee
essarily furnish the foundation for cv-
cry form of industry. The following
letters clearly indicate that the farm
ers es Colorado are nov having an in
nix.
