Miss Rosa Rhodes Endorsed for
the Christening OF the
BaffIeship Kansas.

Among the resolutions adopted
by the Southwestern Veterans As
sociation at Dodge City at the bust
ness meeting we quote the following
endorsing Miss Rosa Rhodes for the
person to christen the battle ship
Kansas.
1t is with pride that we mention
the daughter of the regiment, little
Miss Rosa Rhodes. Her splendid
Rotations, her charming manner to
the old comrades fully entities her to
our love and respect and in showing
our appreciation of her wonderful
ability we heartily endorse the reso-
luton unanimously passed by all
present yesterday which reads as
| follows:
Be it resolved that we, the mem
bers of this association and all of
our friends individually and col
lectively, earnestly request Governor
Bailey, our senators, Hon. J. r.
Burton and Hon. Chester I. Long,
also our entire congressional del
egation and especially Hon. Victor
Murdock of this congressional dis
trict to use every effort to have the
present daughter of our regiment,
Miss Rosa Rhodes, designated to
christen the battleship Kansas. We
confidently say that she would do
honor to our splendid young COM
monwealth of Kansas and rejoice
the heart of every old soldier in
this association.
We also reprint the following
notices from the reunion proceed
ings.
''At the close of Mr.. Reeves ad-
dress, little Miss Rosa Rhodes.
daughter of the regiment, responded
on the part of the regiment in short
bnt splendid talk. She is a little
tot only 8 years old but (with apol-
ogies to Hon. A. B. Reeves and
Hon. R. w. Griggs) was the best
speaker of the day. Pretty and
smart to begin with and a clear loud
voice, splendid gesture and easy
manner she assured the city that the
old veterans would do no further
harm than to steal chickens and
talk and that they would try to thor
oughly appreciate the hospitality of
Dodge City and while here would
do as little harm as possible.
Hon. R. w. Griggs, of Meade,
offered the second address and be-
ing a soldier as well as an able talk
er made a splendid talk.
At the close of his address the
audience called on little Miss Rosa
Rhodes again and she recited Lin

ing it perfectly capturing the aud
ience.
She sat by United States Senator
Burton who repeatedly shook her
hand and smoothed her hair and

| We might add that we believe
this little lady would do justice not
only to herself but also to the
whole state of Kansas, and if our
influence would assist in the matter,
we would decide in her favor with
out the least hesitation.

parallel to those of the La Platas.
While here last year he found If
| teen varieties of minerals that had
never been classified in this state.
| They were overlooked when this quad
rangle was originally surveyed, and
their discovery by Colonel Deming
came as surprise. to the government
biologists in Washington, to whom he
sent these minerals.
One of Colonel Deming's specialties
is locating gas and oil wells. he having
located "a during his time. These "a
wells. 1t Is estimated, have produced.
in round figures. $1,000, 900, with an
outlay of only $500, 900. He Ia now en-
gagged to locate six or eight in Penn
sylvania, six in Ohio, two in Illinois.
three in Kansas and one or two in
Minnesota.
So II will readily be seen that when
the colonel talks oil he knows what
he is talking about. He says there are
many undoubted Indications OF oil and
gas right here in Durango; that the oil
is here and can be got by going after
it. He doubts if It can be found in as
great quantities as in Pennsylvania or
Texas, but contends the flow will be
steadier.

speak of a deposit of diatemaceous
earth. only short distance from
town" Diatemaceous earth Is noun
ing more or less than finely powdered
silica. One of its uses is for making
tripolite, used for polishing brass and
pocelain articles. Another is for max
ing metal silicium, which is worth
5000 a pound. A brick of this earth
was sent to the colonel and he pro-
nounced 1t of very high grade. Such
deposits are very rare. This particu
lar one is said to be in blanket form
and four feet in thickness. The colon
el is of the opinion that this earth can
be transformed into the metal state at
cost of S25 per ton. 1t is the scar
city of the earth and the great cost OF
converting to the metal state that
makes it so expensive.
Near this deposit is bed of kaoli
mite. a kind of earth used for making
chinaware. In other words, 1t is the
highest grade of fire clay.
Last year the colonel found while in
the hills fine specimens of andradite
garnets. which indicate the existence
nj precious stones in that locality.
These garnets are yellow or CHINA
mon colored and are worth about 81 n
carat.
In at least two directions from Du-
range. according to the colonel, there
exists a fine quality of sand for the
manufacture of glass.
There is a great future in store for
your town" he said; there are going
to be gas and oil wells here; you have
a fattering list of industries already;
in addition to the metal mining you
are now doing. there will be new met
ais mined that have scarcely been
thought of by your citizens before;
there will be glass works and china
works; there will be industries around

going to go up. This place has
golden future, young man. and you

GINSENG.

There is almost always some silver
plated fake going the rounds of the
farmers Of this country-Bohemian
oats, Belgian hares and other attrac-
tive propositions-and if we can see
straight another; new one is just ap-
pearing-the ginseng raising specula-
tiOn. This scheme bears all the marks
of the late Belgian hare craze-can be
carried out on a town lot and almost
untold profits realized. 1t is very like
the mulberry growing craze which set
the people wild hundred years ago.
We regard this ginseng business as
presented by the companies being or
ganized to promote it as a fake of the
first water. trap to catch suckers by
selling them the seed or roots of this
plant at exorbitant figures under prom
ise of impossible returns. We have
had letters inquiring about this busi-
ness, and for the information of the
writer's and the many who are becom-
ing interested in this scheme we ad-
wise letting it entirely alone. The root
has no virtue or merit per Sc, and it's
value is based wholly upon the super
stitiOus regard for it of heather race,
the Chinese, who credit it with medici-
nal qualities. If its culture should be-
come general the market would surely
become overstocked and the price go

THE sw1NDLERs LOCATED.

The Holstein COW has been having
an inning with the Chicago milk in
spectors. 1t seems that the city milk
men were delivering their patrons
low grade of milk-the sky blue, wa
terry kind, short on butter fat content,
in violation of the law When hauled
before the court they laid the blame
on the country dairymen from whom.
they bought the milk, saying that these
dairymen had got into the way Of keep
ing Holstein cows which gave large
quantities Of low grade milk To set
tie the matter the inspectors went out
to the farms where the cows were
kept and MIXED the Holsteins and
tested the milk, finding none which
showed less than 3 per cent Of butter
fat, the amount required by law. This
forced the burden of proof on the milk
peddlers to show to the court that they
had not used the town pump, the milk
mans old standby, which they could
not do, and so they had to pay their
fines.

MINNESOTA APPLE ORCHARDS.

3 Ss
We are asked whether it would be
a safe proposition to set out a forty
acre apple orchard in southern Mime
sofa and whether, assuming that the
trees should live, it wollld prove a prof
liable undertaking. Iii a general way
we will say ''yes' to both queries, but
there are certain conditions which must
be observed suitable site Of
well drained upland, the soil preferably
clayey loam; second, varieties select

this project who is not we'll posted on
fruit culture, which is really profes-
sion by itself. AS to profits. these must
not be looked for until the orchard is
eight Or ten years old, when if above
conditions have been met an annual
average return of $40 or $50 per acre
may be expected possibly more. There
is a vast territory to the northwest of
southern Minnesota which will always
probably have to depend upon the
south and east for it's apples, and the
market for good fruit may be regarded
as fixed and reliable. Our own or

as saying that the above is the best
possible selection for the latitude nam

are known, tried and reliable. If the
culture of the apple could be undertak-
en- in southern Minnesota and include
the same degree of scientific care and
skill which are given to the orchards of
the Pacific coast we firmly believe that
the growing of apples in Minnesota
and Iowa could be made as remuner-
ative as the growing Of oranges and
prunes in California. The trouble is
now that the average orchard is not
the third or fourth year the borers
have got in their deadly work, and
