The vicinity of Lower Beaver is
being thoroughly investigated fol
prospective oil region. 1t is
said that on every hand good in.
dications of an extensive oil basin
have been found. 1t is very likely
that in the near future oil derricks
will be built.
Farmers and stockmen look for
ward to good year. Considerable
snow has fallen within the past
few days in the Pixies Peak region.
This ipsures plenty of water for
irrigation this summer. Alfalfa
fields are in good shape for heavy
yield of first cutting and the pros
poets for fruit 30 far is good.
Beaver creek may be infested
again this year with the grass
hopper pest az many eggs have
been discovered. They were thick
there last year and proved very
detrimental to crops. 1t is likely
that the pests will renew their at

These are truthful words from a
newspaper whose identity has been
lost: When the foolish man
wants to buy or sell anything he
rides all over the country in all
tsorts of weather, looking for the
party of the second part. The
wise man puts few lines in the
newspaper and let's them go all
overrthe country for him. When
ever a man has horse or COW or
anything else to sell there is some
other man somewhere who is wait

out finding each other, Advertis-

nELpsN0,cOLORADO FARMERS

Although Colorado farmers have
with, good reason sounded the
praises of alfalfa as stock feed, they
have never reached the markets of
the Central West with their prod
uct. They have, been forced to
remain satisfied with the market
to be found near at home or in the
mountain towns.
The difficulty has been to press
alfalfa into sufficiently compact
bales to admit of its being shipped
by rail long distance. Unlike
hay grown in the East and Central
West, it occupies 30 much space
in proportion to weight that the
railroads have not been able to
make long distance rates that
would leave the farmers profit.
But report printed elsewhere
in this issue represents that this
problem has been solved by the
invention OF a method of pressing
alfalfa into bales that overcomes
all the difficulties named. In the
course of the next few weeks or
months a plant will be erected ut
Lamar, in the Arkansas valley, by
which bales of alfalfa will be 80
reduced in size that there will be
no difficulty in shipping them all
the way to st. Louis at reasonable
rates.
There is a good market in that
city, and it Is believed that it will
30 enlarge the sale of alfalfa that
the farmers of the Arkansas valley
will be able to realize from $4,0O
to 81 80 a ton for their hay in the
field If this hope is sustained by
the results it will add new value to
the farming land of that part of
the state; and what may be found
practical in the Arkansas valley in
this particular will be profitable in
stho aPlatte valley also. Denver

CUBAN LOYALTY TO PALMER.

Republic.
 President Palmer's sincerely en- thusiastic welcome by the people of Cuba Is fact of the brightest promise that the new Republic shall have the most favorable op- portunity for staple establishment along the best lines of national con. fidence.
 The genuine patriots in Cuba, the men who fought for Cuban in dependence. are solidly in support of Palma. They know that he is far away the best man in the presi- dency at such q critical moment in Cuban history. They confess that his many years experience in the United States have peculiarly fit ted him for q wise management of the new Republics affairs. They have full faith in his loyalty to Gu ba's best interests.
 For these reasons the news story of the Cuban tour now being made by President Palma is significant and interesting. Every fresh evi- dence of Cuban favor for the first President of the Cuban Republic is a renewed guarantee of tranquil lity during the earlier stages of that Government establishment. This is d condition which would have been impossible had an un- worthy man been named as Ma tional Executive at this time.

THE MARTINIQUE DISASTER.

Gazette
 The most remarkable and dis astrous of volcanic eruptions of modern times, and, for that mat ter, in the history of the world, occurred on May s in the island of Martinique, one of the lesser Antilles.
 The destruction of Herculane. um and Pompeii by an eruption ot Mount Vesuvius in the prov ince of Campania, Italy, in the year A. D. 70 was not greater calamity in the destruction of human life than was the envel- opment and destruction of the city of St. Pierre on Thursday last. Although there seems to be no available information of tle number of people who per iShed in the two former cities, nearly twenty centuries ago, there is good reason to believe that the number did not reach 40, 1000, as is reported to be the number in the total destruction of St. Pierre In Herculaueum and Pompeii the warning was sufficient to permit the escape of a great proportion of the popu- lation, and this is the belief of many of the historians, because of the repeated earthquakes and eruptionS of Vesuvius.
 History records no real disas- trous eruption in Mt. Pelee, which so suddenly destroyed the chief city of the island of Mar unique.
 The city of St. Pierre, so far as present information goes, was utterly demolished by the erup- tion of steam, mud and fire, and the whole population absolute ly destroyed, together with nearly every ship lying in the harbor orroadstead. The French steamer Suchet rescued some thirty injured persons, all so far reported to have escaped.
 The island of Martinique is a French possession and has been under the control of France since 1874. It was discovered by Columbus June 15, 1902, and was then inhabited by Carib h. dians, who had expelled or in- corporated an older stock. In 1885 a Norman captain named De Enambus, from St. Cnristo-

Deal with a newspaper as you would with any other business concern. A newspaper is general ly published for revenue and not for public convenience. While it's purpose IS to serve the public, it expects to get fair consideration in return. If merchant sells a customer a bill of goods at reas- enable price he does not expect that customer to exact few hats, shirts and furnishings in addition to the bargains he has paid for. Neither does newspaper expect to give merchant line of locals when the latter has contracted for only display space. But the mer- chant will say, "Oh, well, 1t won't cost you anything to give me these locals, and as 1 am already an ad- vertiser you ought not to mind it. :" It would be just as reasonable for the newspaper man to buy suit of.clothes from the merchant and then require him to give him hat also. Then there are benevolent and charitable institutions whose representatives think they have a perfect right to work the newspa- per for all the free advertising nee- essary just because 1t is a newspa- per. They never stop to think that newspaper men are as ready to give from their pockets 10 q worthy cause as anyone else, and they prefer not to mix such mat ters with business. In plain terms, they claim the right to pay the preacher as other business men do. to contribute to worthy cause as a lawyer, doctor or merchant would, and if there is any adver- Using do it at reasonable rates to be paid for.-Denocrat.
