ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bone Died Last Saturday
After Lingering Illness.

Another pioneer of this city and dis
trict, Mrs. Elizabeth Bone, has departed
this life, and slowly but surely the men
and women who helped make Colorado,
are entering the Great Beyond.
Mrs. Bone died last Saturday afternoon
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas
Burg, No. 2I3 Third avenue. She had
been suffering for many months with an
abscess on the brain, and while she ex-
perienced much pain, not once did she
complain. When she was told that death
was only matter of a short time, she
bowed to the inevitable, and announced
that she was ready.
Mrs. Bone was born in England nearly
90 years ago, but emigrated to the United
States when 80 years of age. For nearly
a quarter of a century she lived in this
district with her family, but since the
death of her husband at Freeland about
four years ago, she has resided in Idaho
Springs with her daughter.
Deceased was beloved by all who knew
her. She was ever a Christian woman,
being a member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of this city.
The funeral was held from the church
of which she an honored member on last
Monday afternoon and large concourse
of sorrowing friends were present to pay
their last sad tribute to devoted mother
and a devoted friend. Rev. Coffman Off
ciated.
The remains were laid to rest in Idaho
Springs cemetery. .s-
Mrs. Bone left three children, Mrs.
Burg, a son and an unmarried daughter.

WORLDS FAMOUS RAILROAD.
New Trains and Fast Time Calls For
Track improvements.

Heavy trains and fast time have arous-
ed the railroads to the necessity of hav-
ing heavier rails One of the first to
awake to this need was the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul. Its construction
department is now at work laying 100
pound STEEL oak ties and rock and gravel
ballast on its Chicago Milwaukee line,
making it the best piece of track in
America. With the advent of the Pio-
neer Express the officials found that they
must have a more solid track and an in
crease in the weight of the rails was de-
termined upon as one of the necessities of
the business. The Pioneer Express is
one of the famous trains of the world.
On a recent trip from Milwaukee to Chi
cago it consisted of thirteen cars and all
of them were pulled by one engine. The
cars used in this train are all of the latest
pattern and size and weigh upwards of
fifty tons each, exclusive of the passen-
gers riding in them. When it is consId-
cred that the train frequently makes the
entire run of eighty-fve miles in an hour
and fifty minutes it can readily be seen
that high grade track must be provided
in order to insure safety. The locomo-
tives on this train weigh over 100 tons
each.
Another improvement being made
along the line is the elimination of the
track tanks. 1t is now possible to carry
enough water for an entire trip as the
engines are being equipped with larger
tank cars. This will add speed as the
trains required slowing down to get water.
Besides in winter these tanks were fire.
quently found frozen, this proving a
great detriment to the service.

HE CoURIER

Delineator, Of a club formed by fash
ionable young ladies in Brooklyn. She
says:
There is in New York a club with
an Indian sounding name, which trans
lated means simply. "All Sorts and
Conditions Of Girls" and the associa-
ton was formed five or six years ago
on an altruistic basis that has never
been lost sight Of. The yearly ball
by which the club name "Asacog" has
been kept before the public is the only
occasion on which it seeks fame. And
the desire is only that the tickets may
be disposed of to better advantage, for
the chief object of the affair is the
raising of funds for the prosecution of
the settlement work of the year, the
only other available source being the
dues Of the members, active. associate
and sustaining. Yet this ball has
labelled the club to many as a so
ciety affair" only. 1t is true its men,
bers all belong to the best families in
Brooklyn and are young women whose
names will always be found in ac-
counts of fashionable life. In this club,
however, they are moving along the

There are societies for the prevention

the killing Of birds. Why would 1t not
be a good plan to form societies for the
prevention Of injury to trees. Mr.. J.
Sterling Morton. the father of arbor
day. had the legend PLANT Trees"
made conspicuous about his home. An
other. "Save the Trees" might be
added. II the children were banded to-
gether and pledged not 20 destroy or
damage trees. they would respect the
promise. and would no longer be seen
swinging around young trees. or care
lessly scraping the bark with their
knives. as is often the case now. The
Audubon society has inspired boys
with respect for the lives Of birds. and
In the same way a similar work might
be done for the preservation of trees
which are planted along sidewalks, and
around school grounds.

sold down to 73h@735sc on a general turn
OF liquidation following the analysis OF the
government report and the reports OF rains in
Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. Traders were
mixed in their Interpretation of the govern

even shade more than yesterdays close, and
the opening May at 74A@74asc. But
the market held this level only moment
and then broke under the selling. The per-
~centage OF wheat remaining in farmers hands

Of feeding of wheat all through last fall and
the early part OF the winter Still, there was
counteracting effect from the corn and oats
reports, which, at % and 80 per cent respec-
lively, show lighter reserves than for years,
and this on a very short crop in both cereals.
On the whole, the market seems the better
for the elimination of the crop report infiu-
ence, and, with the corn and oats men get
ting about what they expected, and the wheat
men knowing the worst, the market should
now be In better shape to respond to the in
huences Of crop conditions that will be the

CROP REPORT
Farmers Hold % Per Cent Of Wheat
and 20 of Corn.

and 20 of Corn.
Washington, March 11.-The agricul-
tural department has issued the following
crop report:
Until the publication OF the census figures
of acreage, basel a farm-to -farm canvass,
admit of the making of any necessary adj
iustments in the acreage figures of this de-
partment, no cumulative estimate of the
amount of grain remaining in the hands of
farmers on March I will be made by the sta
tistician. Reports received from the depart
ment's correspondents, however, indicate that
about % per cent Of last years wheat crop is
still in farmers hands, as compared with 24.5
per cent (12S. 600 bushels) of the crop of
1900 on hand March l. 1901. and % per cent
(158 700, 900 bushels) of the crop Of 1899 on
hand March /. 1900. The corn In farmers
hands is estimated at about 20 per cent Of
last years crop, against 1863 per cent (776,-
100000 bushels) of the crop of 1900 on hand
March 1. 1901. and 37.2 per cent CTS, 7OO, 900
bushels) of the crop of 1899 on hand March 1,
1900
OF oats. there is reported to be about 30
per cent of last years crop still in farmers
hands, as compared with 36.2 per cent (292.-
100000 bushels) of the crop of 1900 on hand
March 1. 1901. and 36.5 per cent (292 800 900
bushels) of the crop Of 1899 on hand March 1,
1900 While, as stated above, and more fully
explained in connection with other official
ports, no definite ouantitative estimates Of
grain production in 1901 will be made public
at present. the reports received by the de-
partment make 1t manifest that the wheat
crop of that year was one of the largest ever
grown; that the corn crop was the smallest
with one exception in twenty years, and that
the oat crop was also much below the aver
age.
The departure from the ordinary relative
production of the three principal grains ap-
pears to have been followed by a use OF wheat
as feed for animals more extensive than has
ever before occurred.
