Spraying Fruit Trees.

At the last meeting OF the Denver Bee
Keepers association it vas voted to re-
quest publication OF tho las prohibiting
the spraying OF fruit treesin bloom With
any substance injurious to 1ees.
All well informed horiiculturnlists
sgree that spraying during the time Of
bloom 10 not only vslueless. but also in
furious. since the poisoo used renders
sterile large proportion Of the blossoms
it touches. The time to spray, accord.
ing to Professor Gillette. OF sthe State
Agricultural college. 10 once soon after
the peisls OF the blossoms fall and a
second time ten days after the first
spraying. On the other hand. spraying
during bloom has repeatedly proved
fatal to neighboring bees within the
state. Hence the law works no harm to
any class.
The law in question is section 8. on
page lib. OF the Colorado session laws Of
1897, as follows:
1t shsll be unlawful for any person or
persons to spray fruit trees while in
bloom with any substance Injurious to
bees.
The general penalty clause. section 9
of the same act is as follows:
ANY pereon violating any OF the pro-
visions OF this act shall be guilty OF a
misdemeanor and upon conviction there
OF shall be punished by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for period OF not lees
than ten nor moro than 100 days or by .
fine OF not less than 90 nor more than

For several years past quite influx of peo-
pie have been gradually vending their way to Delta

ditons much in favor OF their well doing. In the
years that have passed many of these went
to the upper part Of the county in and around Hotch
kiss and Paonis and the Surface creek country But
for the past few months the great ority have begun
settle in and around Delta. This is caused in
great by the proposed building of the Gunni
tunnel by the national government. However,

this immediate section Canals, bitches and reservoirs
being constructed which will open up new lands

Delta is now undergoing the first real boom that
the town has ever experienced fine residences

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Nov. 13.-
Gen. Plaza, president of Ecuador, has
cabled to President Marroquin, of Co.
lombia, sympathizing with him in the
recent events on the isthmus of Pana-
ma. President Marroquin has replied,
thanking Gen. Plaza and adding that

act of President Roosevelt made pos :
sible the. negotiation of canal treaty
and that such negotiation would prob
ably be completed before the Pana- :
mans held convention to elect leg
islature and adopt constitution.
Senor Arrange confirmed the state
ment that Gov. Melendez, of Colon
would not permit Gen. Reyes, who is
coming from Bogota on peace mis-
sion, to land unless he came as the

republic of Panama, and that in no
other capacity would he be received
by the government. 1t is feared that
should Gen. Reyes persist in landing
otherwise than an envoy so credited,
his presence will create trouble, and
for this reason the government has de-
cided to refuse him permission to land.
1t is rumored that the situation at
Bogota is critical and that there is a
continuance of the manifestations of
furious despair over the loss of the
isthmus. The feeling against Presi-
dent Marroquin is growing in intensity,
and one rumor has it that he has been
deposed. The populace of Bogota is
talking of sending an expedition to re-
capture the isthmus at any cost.

department officials have reached the
determination that the situation at
Panama does not warrant the sending
of troops there. Both Secretary Root
and Lieut.. Gen. Young, chief of staff,
today authorized the statement to be
made that no orders have been issued
to any troops to proceed to the isthmus
and that none is in contemplation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-In an inter-
view today James ]. Hill said:
There is a feeling of apprehension
that something unfavorable may hap
pen which might tend to disturb the
general situation. Against such devel-
opment Western bankers have taken
measures, and the banks of the West
are now in very sound condition. The
public is satisfied as to the soundness
of the financial institutions, and the
fact that depositors show no uneasi-
ness is manifested by the way in which
money is pouring into the banks. The
West is full of money. Collections are
good and railroad earnings keep up.
The Northern Pacific last week showed
an increase. of $4,000, although COM
parison is made with an unusually large
volume of traffic handled year ago.
Zone large milling firm in Minneapo-
lis shipped to Australia between Jan.
1 and Nov. I this year 100000 barrels
of flour. The same firm shipped to
China in the same period $4,000 barrels,
and has orders for 1900 more A
single order for 100000 sacks and an
other for 100000 speak for a large
trade. Down here in Wall street you
do not hear of all this, and the only
place it shows is in the exchange mar
ket. The development of the Pacific
trade is worth watching, and Western
conditions generally are encouraging. "

est strike lies in the attitude Of the
teamsters. They may decline to deliv-
er coal to the company if non-union
firemen are employed and the COM
pany has only three days supply on
hand. On this point General Manager
McCulloch was disturbed.
1--WE shall get all the coal we need -
he declared, "and We shall run right
along We have shown today that we
can operate the cars if we are given
police protection. AS long as we are
given that We shall be able to conduct
our business as usual"
During the afternoon an effort was
made to bring about a peaceable adj
justment of the strike. The members
of the state board of arbitration called
on Manager McCulloch and on his sug-
gestion went into conference with E.
r. Bliss, counsel for the company, with
the hope of arranging a settlement, or,
at least, a conference, between the
strikers and the officials of the road.
Nothing definite was accomplished and
another meeting has been arranged for
tomorrow, when a second attempt will
be made to have the controversy sub
mitted to arbitration. After today's
meeting, one of the arbitration board
said that the indications were that the
management of the company would
agree to arbitrate all the demands Of
the men with the exception of recogni-
ton Of the union.
Organized labor tomorrow will at
tempt to bring sufficient pressure to
bear on the mayor to prevent the po-
lice from riding on the cars of the
Chicago City Railway company during
the strike. a call was sent out to-
night for all members of the Chicago
Federation of Labor and the various
leagues that advocate municipal own
ership of public utilities to meet at 2
o'clock, prepared to make a call on
Mayor Harrison and Chief of Police
O'Neil. Rm f
1t has been decided to present the
following requests to the city govern
ment:
That no more franchises be granted
to. street car companies, but that they
be operated hereafter under the license
system; that the police be restrained
from riding on the cars of the company
during the strike and failing to Sc
cure the consent of the mayor to this,
an attempt may be made to secure an
injunction to restrain the police from
so acting; that the states attorney
be urged to institute quo warranto
proceedings as to the right of the po-
lice to ride on the cars; that all street
car companies be prohibited from using
electricity as a. motive power.

RUMOR ABOUT MERRY
DEL VAL is ABSURD
Denial of Story That His APP
pointment Would Cause
Trouble With u. S.

ROME, Nov. 13.-Mgr. Kennedy
rector of the American college, has just
returned from short vacation. His
first act was to deny emphaticaliy a
story attributed to him in dispatch
from Madrid to the London Times
According to this story, Mgr. Kennedy
had informed the Diario's correspond
ent at Rome that an American bishop
had accidentally overheard a state
ment that Mgr. Merry del Val would be
made papal secretary of state. This
was ten days before the elevation OF
Mgr. Merry del Val. The correspond
ent added that Mgr. Kennedy had ca :
bled this information to Cardinal Glib
bons, who, after communicating it te
the United States government, advised
the Vatican that the appointment On
Mgr. Merry del Val might bring about
difficulties concerning religious ques-
tions in the Philippine islands.
Mgr. Kennedy today visited Cardinal
Merry del Val, who promptly declared
that the report was absurd.
There was no American bishop at
Rome at the time the story was pub
lished, and Cardinal Gibbons had never
sent cable dispatch to Rome object
ing to the appointment of Mgr. Merry
del Val, but, on the contrary, had sent
to the new papal secretary affectionate
congratulations.
Cardinal Merry del Val told Mgr.
Kennedy today that he knew the story
could not be true, as he had friends in
the United States. The monsignor
availed himself of the opportunity to
express to the papal secretary. on be-
half of Archbishop Ryan, of Philadel-
phia, great satisfaction at his appoint
ment
