POTATO CROP is
UNUSUALLY LARGE

Denver, Oct. IA Republican special
from Greeley says: AS potate digging
progresses it develops without doubt
that this is the largest crop ever har-
vested in the Greeley belt. The frost
OF September 18th. which at first was
considered must result in great loss
to the potato crop, has proven a bless
ing in disguise. Farmers say that the
tubers were unusually slow in matur-
ing this year, butfthe cold snap killed
the vines and ripened the potatoes in
time to place them on a good market
at least two weeks earlier than usu-
al, which far exceeds any benefit
which might have resulted from a two
weeks longer growth. And again the
farmers are now able to Put all avail
able labor in the potato fields and get
the greater part of the crop on the
market or stored before being Obliged
to harvest the beet crop. the digging
of which will be in progress in two
weeks
The produce dealers here have de-
cided not to lower the price of potatoes
from 10 cents hundred, as they say
they can dispose of as many at this
price as they could were they from 6
to 10 cents lower Potatoes are now
going to Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and Texas, and when ripper
will be shipped to points east of the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
The great question that confronts
the farmer and dealer is lack OF
transportation. 1t Is impossible to get
sufficient cars to supply the demand
Seven hundred and fifty carloads OF
potatoes have already been shipped out
from the Greely district. 400 carloads
more than at this time In previous
years. The daily average leaving here
is twenty-five carloads

colorado's Cement Resources.

Denver. Oct. 3.-Colorado's recourses
for manufacturing cement will be in
vestigated and fully described by the
United States Geological Survey. The
importance of this work in the devel-
opment of the industry is considered
inestimable by the citizens who have
invested in the few cement quarries
opened.
L. C. Eckel, an assistant geo!ogist in
the employ of the government. arrived
last night and registered at the Wind
sor. He said he had been all over the
United States investigating the cem-
ent resources. and last stopped at
Yankton. South Dakota.
The cement manufactured at Flor
ence, and known as Colorado Portland
cement. has already taken rank among
builders of the West as equal to the
genuine article formerly imported from
the remote East. The home product is
being used exclusively in all local
building operations and also for cem-
ynt curbs and cutters in public work.

London. Oct. 3.-Addressing a mass
meeting at Sheffield Thursday night in
connection with the conference of the
Citations. Premier Balfour delivered the
speech which has been long heralded
as the first heavy gun TO be fired in
the fiscal reform campaign which is
absorbing the attention of the United
Kingdom. her colonies and, indeed. the
whole world. and which has caused the
present British Cabinet crisis, the re-
suit Of which 1t is impossible to fore
tell.
Mr.. Balfour, in the course OF his
speech. did not even hint at the sue
cessors in the Cabinet to Mr.. Cham
berlain, Lord George Hamilton and Mr..
Ritchie. In fact. he did not mention
the ministerial designations, ignoring
altogether that phase of the situation
on which 1t was expected he would
make some declaration. The premier
confined himself strictly 20 the tariff
question and his speech was to large
extent a repetition of the arguments
contained in his recent pamphlet.
Concerning the question as to wheth-
er 1t was intended to reverse the YER
dict of the great case of Free Trade
versus Protection in 1916, his answer
was that the controversy Of 1916 was
tf no interest to the present generation
and was utterly inappropriate to 1908.

the nation to follow their example and
not be misled by musty Debates The
second question is: DO you desire TO
reverse and alter the fundamental hs-
cal tradition which has prevailed for
two generationsT My answer Is. Yes.
| do"
He proposed TO ask the country to
reverse, annul. and altogether delete
from their maxims OF public conduct
that they must never impose taxation
except for revenue. In his judgment.
the country ought never to have stood
self-deprived of that liberty, and 1t
should publicly resume in the face OF
Europe and the world the liberty of
which It deprived itself-the liberty
which every other country in the world
possessed-and that no country should
deprive itself of, the liberty of nego-
tiating. and also something to negou-
ate.
To the next question. why they
should want to resume this liberty.
seeing how well the country had pros
pered without it, he would reply: My
object is to mitigate to the utmost the
injury done us by hostile tariffs The
proposed remedy will not be complete
even IL tried in its integrity. because
believe the country will not tolerate a
tax on food. but undoubtedly 1t will bo
useful"
Mr.. Balfour sat down at the close of
his speech, amid loud and prolonged
cheering. A vote Of confidence In the
ministers was adopted unanimously.

for S221.s9. representing the sum al
Of she defendant at the time OF his
removal and the appointment of Harry
Casady to succeed him. The suit was
filed by Attorney General n. c. Miller

The complaint sets forth that on Aug
