ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
No Action Yet Taken for its Postpone
ment,

st. Louis, April 15.-Presidcnt d. r.
Francis of the Louisiana Purchase En-
position Company in answer to the
numerous statements that the worlds
fair would not open in 1903. as provid-
ed. but that it would be postponed,
made this statement to-day:
Neither the board of directors nor
the executive committee has taken any
formal action concerning a postpone
ment of the exposition. 1t seems i'm
possible so prevent agitation of the
subject. Personally. | should prefer
the exposition to be held in 1903.
I'VE are making excellent progress
In the physical work. and although we
have met with some slight disappoint-
ments in promotion and exploitation,
we have every reason 30 be encouraged
by the present status. As stated by me
Saturday, our contracts and expenses
up to this time are in excess of our
available funds. We cannot expect an
additional payment from the stockhold-
ers before September 18th. We have
called fifty per cent. of the S5.000,000
subscriptions. and that amounts to
only two and half millions. which is
much less than the aggregate of expen-
ditures and outstanding contracts. We
are. therefore, depending upon the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the city bonds,
which the mayor and the comptroller
have Informed me will be advertised
soon and sold during the first half of
may.
1.-TWO or three foreign governments
that have formerly declined the invita-
tion of the President to participate in
our exposition have been asked to re
consider and our information is to the
effect that they may conclude to do
so.
I'VE are making every effort to in
duce every foreign government of I'm
portance. to participate.
"If. in the Judgment Of the local CON-
pany, approved by the national COM
mission. Congress and the admlnistra-
tlon. any postponement Is thought nec-
essnry. that step will be taken In due
time. but under no circumstances
would the board of directors, or any
one connected officially with the expo

ponement to 1905. which. according to
the morning papers, Santos Dumont
has stated has been decided upon."

New York Man Has His Garden on Top
of His House.
Mr.. Prato, the candymaker, lives in
a f1ve-story house in West Twenty
fifth street, and grows vegetables for
his family in beautiful garden on
the roof, says a New York newspaper
writer. 1t is really the only practical
vegetable garden on New York roof.
Most Of our roofs are dedicated to the
sun and rain. They absorb the sun in
hot weather and disseminate blister
Ing heat through the house. Gardens
would change all this. Prato's house
Is delightfully."- cool in the hot months.
while the homes of his neighbors are
sweltering. In his garden he grows
lettuce, celery. peas, beans, tomatoes.
radishes, asparagus and some flowers.
OF course the roof is fiat and con-
structed of cement, surrounded by an
ornamental parapet with sloping
coping. Earth is contained in great
rectangles of two-inch beams, eight
cen inches wide and set on edge, leav-
ing spaces for walks. There is no rea-
son why the roofs of New York should
not be utilized We are wasting a
vast amount of space. The roof
acreage would grow nearly all the
truck" the population could eat.

The pioneer company of this field is

In Routt county the Northwestern Oil

Costilla county and any, number of To-

The favorite places are in the neigh

There is scarcely foot Of unoccuDied

by lease or option. The same can be
said of Boulder. Larimer and other
counties in which there are indica-
tions of oil.
In Saguache county the Crestone Oil

Durango Oil Company is at work in La

companies sinking near Delta and in
the vicinity of Fruita. Gunnison, too,

this state and the indications are that 1t
will be tapped in n number of places.
1t is promised that the Boulder wells
will spout very soon. and then the III
dustry will boom harder than ever.
But it is not the oil alone which will
pay. for while there is big profit in
this, there is also profit in the natural
gas which comes with it. In every
we'll in which oil has been encountered
thus far gas has come with it. SO X
the yield of the two things is as great
as is expected Colorado will have an

There is a great rush for farming
lands at present by homeseekers. The
movement of population westward Is
very extensive as shown by railroad
reports of passenger traffic. In many
localities farmers who were in debt
have sold out and realized handsome
equity which has put them in shape to
pay their floating Indebtedness and buy
needed supplies. At the same time
they are able to go where lands are
cheaper and secure farms equally as
productive for less money. The out
look is gratifying and Colorado is get
ting the best of the deal for the reason
that it is bringing to our state a bet
ter class of eastern farmers who have
been enabled to trade an acre of land
there for two or three irrigated acres
here. People are beginning to realize
thatFthe true system of agriculture Is
by irrigation. The Sunny San Luis
Valley in the southern part Of this
state is getting a large share of the
immigration. For particulars about
the fine lands around ROMEO, write

This had the desired effect and the

posure he was arrested and the town

1t is shown that more than $20,00O,OOO

Pueblo before the close of the present

vast sum is already going on.

STRENUOUS WATER CURE.
Filipino Official Tortured to Secure
Confession.

Washington, April 15.-The Senate
committee on the Philippines began the
week with the intention of making an
investigation of the charges to the eff
feet that the water cure" so-called.
is practiced on the insurgents, and
Charles s. Riley of Northampton. Mas
sachusetts. formerly sergeant in
Company NJ, Twentysixth infantry,
was the first witness called with that
end in view.
Mr. Riley said that he had been in
the Philippines from October 2, 1899,
to March 4, 1901, and had witnessed
the water cure" at Igbaris. province
of Iloilo, November 81. 1900. 1t was
administered to the presidente, or chief
Filipino official of the town. He said
that upon the arrival OF his command
mt Igbaris, the presidente was asked
whether runners had been sent out no.
tifying the insurgents of their presence,
and upon his refusal to give the in
formation. he was taken to the con-
vent where the witness was stationed
and the water cure was administered
to him.
This official was, he said, n man
about forty years OF age. When the
witness first saw him he was stripped
to the waist and his hands tied behind
him, with Captain Glenn and Lieuten-
ant Conger of the regular army and DIR.
Lyons. contract surgeon, standing
near, while many soldiers stood about.
The man. he said, was then thrown
under water tank which held about
100 gallons of water, and his mouth
placed directly under the faucet and
held open so as to compel him to swal-
low the water which was allowed to es-
cape from the tank.
Over him stood an interpreter repeat
ing one word. which the witness said
he did not understand. but which he
believed to be the native equivalent of
confess" When mt last the presidente
agreed to tell what he knew he was
released and allowed to start away.
He was not. however, permitted to es-
cape, and upon refusing to give fur
ther information he was again taken
as he was about to mount his horse
and the cure administered for the sec.
ond time. This time the man was not
stripped. nor was he taken into the
building. DIR. Lyons said the water

Wells. Derricks.

The old established Florence oil
wells are not mentioned. here because
they have been producers for many
years and their output is steady. How
ever, there are Il number of new COM
panies operating in the district and
some of them are sinking wells. The
greatest activity is in the neighbor-
hood of Boulder and the territory north
of it, although De Beque is n close sec

where the fees are lower than they are
in this state. Just seventy-six of all
the companies are doing business in
Boulder The rest have lands in vari-
ous parts of the state. A large number
of these organizations are mt work or
are preparing to go to work. They hold
oil lands by lease or purchase.
The boom, which was at its height
last month. received slight setback
when the Boulder wells, which gave
so much promise, failed to produce as
much oil as was expected. This. how
ever, is explained by the owners by the
fact that the men who We're sinking
the wells were not experienced and
also because ii was difficult to secure
the necessary machinery. This diff
Guilty has been overcome, for expert
enced men have been brought here
