Neglected the Opportunity.
Some years ago, when the North
western State of Washington was not
so thickly populated as it is now, a
young lieutenant on the revenue cut
ter Rush, then stationed in Puget
Sound, had an experience which he
sometimes relates now, although it ID
at his own expense.
81 was told" he said, that the
neighboring snow capped mountain,
Mount Rainer, had never been climbed
by any white man, or, at least, that
none had ever reached it's top. l was
younger then than l am now, so l de-
termined to gain the honor of planting
the first American flag on Rainer's
top. Several seamen VOLUNTEERED to ac-
company me, and after spending some
days in making our preparations we
set out. Three days of weary march
ing and climbing brought us to the
top. With a hurrah we rushed up on
a large cliff, the highest point, and
then prepared to put up our pole. Sud-
denly my attention was attracted to an
old staff stuck into crack. Near its
top was nailed a small card, on which
in plain type, was printed: James
Ruggles, agent for Thompson's Elixir
for that Tired Feeling.

The English sparrow, which has
made so many enemies in the Eastern
and Central States, has invaded the
Rocky Mountain region. For some time
past, T. D. A. Cockrell reports, it has
been known in the northeastern sec.
tion Of New Mexico, at Ration and Las
Vegas, and it seems to be gradually
spreading westward and southwark,
having recently been noticed, for the
first time, at Albuquerque.

American expectation Of trottinG
horses during the last ten years
has been especially notable. There
is scarcely country in Europe which
has failed to appreciate the superior
qualities Of the American-bred trotter.
Germany, France, Russia and Austria
all have been large buyers of Ameri-
can thoroughbreds, and, in many in.
stances, American trainers have been
selected to superintend the stables of
these foreign purchasers.

Another characteristic is a sac filled
with a black fluid known as sepia,
which can be discharged instantly into
the water. A small quantity will Gre
ate a black cloud sufficient to envelop
the animal and allow it to escape from
it's pursuer. This ink is extracted,
dried and sold to artists. 1t is the
sepia with which pictures are painted.
The cuttlefish is quite an article of
commerce in Naples, for, in addition
to the sepia, the backbone is used for
polishing wood, as tooth powder and
for sharpening the bills of canary
birds.

two armored ships of war of $500 tons

This intimacy is chiefly due to the large

USUAL MEASUREMENT
OF THE REAL FACTS

Game Commissioner Harris yes
terday received the report of the
product of trout fry for the Du-
range fish hatchery. The report
shows that about 100000 fish fry
have been distributed over the
state. This is the hatchery that
went dry last winter because OF
the drouth. and the number of fish
since hatched ont is the more re-
markable on that account. Mr..
Harris said yesterday that he had
applications for 100000 fish
which he would not be able to fill.
He purposes to send out $4,000
more fish from the Durango hatch
cry.
The above is from the Denver Re-
publican. The Durango or La Plata
county fish hatchery, went dry through
neglect. The fish superintendent spent
very little time at the hatchery. al
though the salary was drawn regu-
larly. Plenty of water could have
been secured from the Animas river

worth thousands of dollars. 1t was
purely incompetnency and In line with
protests filed to Orman's selection a
year ago last spring. The inevitable
result followed.

WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED.

Del Norte Prospector: One of the
things the people Of Rio Grande coun-
ty viii expect of the next Representa-
tive in the legislature will be an un-
swerving fidelity to the interests of the
farmer in the matter OF amending the
water laws. The farmers. or at least
four-ffths OF them. who have put in
the best years Of their lives in de-
veioping property in this section. de-
mand some sort Of relief and their
votes will go to the man who Is best
fitted to secure such relief for them.
The situation is just this-the farm
ers must have relief or many of them
must vacate their ranches. and 1t Will
be up to our representative In the next
legislature to say whether an enort
shall be made or not to give such
needed relief.

the outlook for Republican success this
fall was never brighter and John
knows what he is talking about.
There is general disgust over fusion
Legislation, said Mr.. Cleghorn. THE
people are going to demand com
plete change of administration as the
only way of getting the state on busi-
ness basis again. In reference to CUB
ernatorial candidates the Republicans
have a strong man in James Peabody
of Canon City. Mr.. Peabody has been
resident OF Fremont county for
great many years and has always been
in touch with his party and hard
worker For years he was county
clerk and since retiring from county
positions the people of Canon have in
sisted on him being mayor. owing
largely to his business ability and
progressive spirit. He will have the
endorsement of all adjoining counties
including Pueblo. FL Paso and the San
Luis valley and look to see him nom-
mated on the first ballot. AS to other
positions on the ticket, the San Juan
should have one OF the good Offices,
