Presidents Proclamation.

"The season Is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom of our people, 1t
falls on the President to appoint day
of praise and thanksgiving to God.
During the past year the Lord has
dealt beautifully with us-peace at
home and abroad, and the chance for
our citizens to work for their welfare
unhindered by war, famine or plague.
1t behooves us not only to rejoice
greatly because of what has been
given us, but to accept it with SOL
emn sense Of responsibility, realizing
that under Heaven II rests with us
ourselves to show that we are worthy
to use Alright what has thus been in
trusted to our care. In no other place
and at no other time has the expert
ment of government of the people, by
the people, and for the people, been
tried on so vast a scale as here i'm our
own country in the opening years of
the twentieth century. Failure would
not only be dreadful thing for us,
but dreadful thing for all mankind,
because it would mean loss of hope for
all who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty. Therefore in
thanking God for the mercies extended
to us in the past, we beseech Him
that He may not withhold them in
the future, and that our hearts may
/ be reused to war steadfastly for good
and against all the forces of evil, pub
lie and private. We pray for strength
and light so that in the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessnesS
and wisdom, do our allotted work on
the earth in such manner as to show
that we are not altogether unworthy
of the blessings we have received.
Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the twenty
sixth of this month (November), and
do recommend that throughout the
land people cease from their wonted
occupations, and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for His
manifold mcrcies."

The season is at hand when the
farmer can do little more with his
implements and machinery this year
Remember, they have cost YOU money
and money which has been earned
perhaps BY very hard labor. Store
your machinery away;clean the plows,
give them coat of grease, and in the
spring you will have bright pillow
with which to commence work. Re-
pair the sheds and barns for all stock;
the colder the shelter, the more feed
is needed. When cold winter sets in
all persons owning stock will feel bet
ter when their animals are well pro-
yded for.

Twenty dollar gold pieces appear to
be as plentiful with the farmer now as
silver dollars used to be i'm bygonc
days. There Is a cause for this change
but do.thosc who are thus benefited
ever reflect upon it? There is not a
product raised by the farmer at the
present time that is a drug on the
market. 1t is almost impossible for
the city man to buy load of hay, and
everything that is needed for man and
stock commands high figure. Farm
ers. above all other men, should be
grateful for the present prosperity.

Quite recently one of the mail car
riers found letter half burned
through in one Of the iron mail boxes
in this city, evidently the result of
dropping a lighted match into the
box. This kind of work is reprehen-

not speak well for Logan. Parents

lines, for serious trouble may overtake
some of them If they do not stop it.

KANSAS CITY, kAS.,
APPEALS FOR AID

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1G.-The re-
fef committee of Kansas City, Kansas,
has given out the following:
In connection with the relief for the
flood sufferers in Kansas City, Kansas,
it is very important that the people OF
the United States should understand
that there are two Kansas Citys, Kan
sas City in Missouri with about 2S0.000
population and Kansas City in Kansas
with over 10000 people adjoining the
former city on the west and separated
from it by the adjoining state line; that
each city has a separate organization
for the relief of its flood sufferers and
that in Kansas City. Kansas, an area
including $4,000 people, by the state
census of March, 1903. has been swept
by rushing flood of from ten to thirty
feet in depth. which has swept away
over one-third of the houses in this
district, has almost ruined another
third and that in the entire district the
merchandise, household goods and
clothing have been either washed away
or almost totally ruined by ten days
submersion and deposit in all build
ings of from two to four feet of mud
with the falling of the water, en-
ployment to a large number has been
given and the conditions there are
much improved There remain how
ever, many thousands dependent on
charity for shelter. food, clothing and
the most meager outfit of cooking uten
sils and furniture. These cannot be
supplied without outside aid and unless
1t is furnished to a large amount the
most dire suffering and widespread
sickness and death must result.
mo more worthy or urgent cause
can be presented than that of the food
sufferers of Kansas City, Kansas, and
we appeal to the generous people Of the
country to aid in supplying these press
ing needs of our stricken people. Money
and supplies should be sent to T. B.
Gilbert. mayor of Kansas City, Kan
sas.

Completion of the Capitol.

The impression should not be al
lowed to go out that the state capitol
has been completed. There remains
some important work to be done for
which provision will have to be made
by the next Legislature
statue must be provided for the
dome and, more important still, steel
shelves and other metal fixtures have
not yet been placed in the vaults At
present the valuable records of the
different departments are kept in
vaults fitted with only wooden shelves
and hence they are exposed to de.
struction by fire. A fire might do but
little damage to the building and yet
occurring in one of the vaults, it
might destroy the entire contents. be,
cause the shelves and other fixtures
are not of fire-proof material.
During the late session of the Leg,
islature the board of capitol managers
sought to get an appropriation for the
construction of metal shelves for the
vaults, but the appropriation was not
made.
Since, however. the state can not af-
ford to let its valuable documents and
records lie on wooden shelves, eX.
posed to constant danger of fire. the
next Legislature viii! ,iave to make the
requisite appropriation for their con
struction. Until that work is done the
building will not be completed.

Will Continue Cattle Inspection

The Colorado State Board of Live
Stock Inspection Commissioners will
continue TO inspect all cattle shipped
from. through or into the state. for
mango and itch, and will charge the
fees allowed for the work. This an
nouncement was made at the Office OF
the commissioners yesterday, says the
Denver Republican OF June 9th.
Under federal law passed at the
last session of Congress the govern
ment provided for the interstate in
spection of live stock and abolishes the
levying of fees by the state live stock
sanitary boards. The Colorado COM
missioners give as reason for their
statement that the government at this
time is only inspecting for Texas fever
and not for itch or mango, and conse-
quently is giving no clean bill of health
as regards these two diseases.
The board has beer informed that
because of an epidemic of the foot and
mouth disease among New England
cattle, the Bureau of Animal Industry
has been forced to throw most of its
Inspectors into that territory. d. E.
Salmon, the chief of the bureau. says
that in few weeks he will be able to
place all the inspectors needed in the
West. and will then be able to give at
tention to the other diseases. The state
commissioners say that they will honor
all clean bills of health from federal
inspectors when the disease for which
the inspection is made is mentioned.
A member of the board said yester-
day that the regulations of the state
board were not stringent at the pres
ent time. but that beginning with Sep
tember some ,ironclad rules would be
made and strictly enforced. One of the
rules contemplated is that requiring
all the cattle in the state to be dipped
at the same time
A request for this rule has been
made by several minor cattlemen's as
socations which have the interests Of
the business at heart. 1t is claimed
that when the dipping is done when it
SUITS the owner, it is not as effective
as it should be, for the reason that the
c..-,ie so treated are likely to wander
among infected cattle again and de-
strOy the effect
1t is the idea of the board to fix a
certain time of the year when all cat
tie shall be dipped, probably between
October 18th and November 18th. when
ohe iali round-ups occur and the cattle
are all together Most of the stock
raisers are heartily in favor of the idea
anu want it made a regulation SO thar
it can De 9ifalfGrced al around.

Edith Belongs in New Mexico.

Under act of the Legislature ap
proved by then Governor Orman
April II, 1901, Charles A. johnson or
April Goth was appointed comis
sioner to re-survey the boundary line
between Colorado and New Mexico, OF
that portion lying between astronomi
cal monuments 6 and s.
, The re-survey was to be made in
conjunction with commissioners from
the United States government and
that of New Mexico, but these latter
neglecting to make appointments, Mr.
Johnson proceeded on behalf of Colo
RADIO, and has filed his report with the
secretary of state.
According to Johnson's report there
is a discrepancy OF several hundred
feet between his survey and the orig
inal made by Elhu Darling in 1868
Darling's line running south of that
run by Johnson on the line of the
thirty-seventh parallel. A government
survey which has been started shows
the same discrepancies as far as it has
proceeded, and if the boundary line as
run should be accepted. the town OF
Edith and numerous sections of land
now in Colorado will in the future be
in the territory of New Mexico.
Monument 6, from which johnson
started his survey. is about one mile
east of the town of Osier, a station on
the Denver & Rio Grande. He found
numerous mile posts missing. which
he replaced as far as possible in their
old positions. Between mile posts 2O9
and PA he found discrepancy of @,
S65 feet to the north, and between 1876
and POI he found a jog of 726 feet to
the north.
