REMARKABLE PROCEEDINGS.

II the United St.tes sand Filtration
Company believes that there is hon-
cstly due it from the city Of Whining
ION ,he sum OF si975oo. It is too liberal
in its Willingness TO scale this down 20
$4,000 il means that the company
proposes TO .olSe gift Of Si2l,5Oo to
this city. In honor we can't allow it,.
II thcra is a legal obligation ON the
part Of the city TO pay the larger sum,
let's do it, even though We have to use
the plans for heating purposes
If. on the other hand, it transpires
that tho sand Filtration Company had
no standing in the state when il
made its agreement; if it appears that
the commissioners exceeded their au-
thority ia making the contract and
that the contracting company took adj
vantage of the situation TO drive the
shrewdest sort Of bargain, then we
should not pay dollar for any SER
vices performed by tho said Sand Eli
tration Company
II does not require expert knowledge
but only common sense TO perceive that
these plans may be OF doubtful value
should the contract be given to an
other company. The engineers Of the
Sand Filtration Company drew them
with the expectation OF securing the
contract for building. It is natural
that under such circumstances they
should have kept In mind their own
advantage in performing the work
when the plans were being drawn. II
Is just possible that there are lead
ing water engineers who would hold
new plans TO be necessary.
Then Il is legitimate to inquire what
exigoncy demanded the haste In en-
ploying Mr Davis as supervising on
gineer at fee Of $4,000. Surely the
matter was not so urgent as to re-
quire that haste. We presume that
there are other engineers who are
equally experienced, and we believe II
is possible to build a filter plant under
other supervision. Mr.. Davis, both foI
/, hlmsolf and his company. seems tc
have made a profound impression on
the commissioners
There was once time when the
Water Commission was regarded as
the cleanest and the most ably con-
Quoted OF our commissions. But that
feeling no longer exists. II is pro-
posed to pay as a compromise a figure
equal to one dollar for every man
woman and child in Wilmington. And
then pure water will be as far of as
ever. The commissioners have rea-
son to expect the sharpest criticism
unless they regard our people as re.
markably supine and good natured
We think too, that they have a righ
to expect a resort to sterner measures

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
ON VERGE OF WAR

London, Oct. 12-The correspondent of
the Morning Post at Chez Foo, tele-
graphing under date CT October 10th,
says,
ut is stated that the Japanese have
decided to declare hostilities to-mor-
row on the expiration Of their ultima
tum to Russia. The Russian fleet has
cleared from Port Arthur. 1t is re-
ported that the japanese announce the
landing of troops at Masanpho, Korea.
There are strong indications that
Germany favors hostilities on the
ground that 1t would enable her to eX-
tend her sphere of influence in China.
"A number of field guns were en-
barked at Port Arthur yesterday for
an unknown destination. All the avail
able force of workmen is employed on
the Notifications.
1.-THE cholera and the plague have
broken out among the Russians at New
Chwang"
Another dispatch to the Morning
Post from Chez Foo, dated October IL
$3.50 p. NJ, says
1.-The situation is unchanged. All Is
quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are
still believed to be imminent. 1t is as
serted that the Russians have fixed
Friday next for their commencement.
There is an exodus Of Chinese mer-
chants from the Yalu valley. They are
arriving at Chez Eco"
The correspondent of the Mail at
Shanghai telegraphs.:
Careful inquiries show that the only
Japanese troops at Masanpho are on
the small territory conceded to Japan
in connection with railway building
and their presence Is therefore in ac-
cordance with treaty rights"

Cattle Feeding in Colorado.

The experiments now making at the
State Agricultural college farm in cat
tie feeding without corn are Of great
interest and Importance. 1t seems that
evidence has been produced that as
good beef can be made in this state by
the methods adopted on the college
farm as in the corn-growing districts
of Kansas and Nebraska.
Alfalfa of course plays an important
part in these experiments, its feeding
value having long since been shown in
numerous ways. BY combination of
alfalfa and other feeds excellent re-
suits have been obtained. and II upon
a large scale this method shall be
found entirely satisfactory it will lead
to important results in the develop
ment of the feeding business in this
state.
There seems to be no reason why
feeding without corn should not sue
ceed as well in Colorado as 1t does in
England and other parts of Europe
where the finest beef in the world is
made by the use of root crops for feed.
Practically everything that may be
used as feed for cattle or sheep can be
produced to advantage in this state ex-
cept corn, for which the nights are too
cool BY the use of other crops Colo
rado may in time become as renowned
for feeding as it is now for growing
cattle and other kinds of live stock

FARMING MATTERS.
Agriculture a. High Attitudes.

At the late meeting of the Wyoming
Industrial Convention and Exposition
held at Sheridan. Prof. B. C. Buffum
# the experiment station at Laramie
gaad a paper on Agriculture at High
Attitudes" which is Of general inter-
est to farmers of the American plateau.
In part he said
The term high altitude is a rela
considered low altitude. According
10 the government surveys. the average
altitude of the agricultural land in
Wyoming is more than 5000 feet and
for the purpose of this paper, 5000
feet may be considered the dividing
line between high and low altitude ag-
riculture.
The first settlers in the rich Mis-
souri, and Mississippi valleys would
not believe that the barren prairies
would produce crops. so they took the
poorer timbered lands along the river
bottome and spent their sweat for a
pitabie existence. while those unfortu-
the prairie lands to chose. waxed rich.
such high attitudes and their cores
ponding climate can be made to pro-
duce after their kind, is just begin
ming to be realized.
While the simplest agriculture is
one OF the most complex occupations it
is a comparatively simple matter. even
in agriculture, Tor intelligent farmers
10 produce remunerative crops, where
here is abundance of heat
to develop various plants. with
an absence of troublesome frosts
TO interfere with crops and a
home market for the produce The
conditions are different where there is
a light frost every month in the year
and where the season. free from heavy
enough frosts to be destructive. is
reduced to about two and one-half
months with corresponding cool nights
and days Of intense sunshine.
However. when these conditions are
met and the proper quality of brains
mixed into the farm and ranch practice,
the high altitude ranchman finds that
he can produce just as remunerative
returns as can his low altitude proto-
type. Here, as everywhere, the Sc
crets of success are few and simple.
He must plant crops suitable to the
climate and soil and plant and care
for them in the right season and in
way which corresponds to his condi-
tions.
Our high altitude agriculture is not
at all developed 1t will be not only
possible, but feasible to produce high
class meats from foods which can be
grown in our own state. The idea
has become quite general that meat
cannot be cheaply produced without the
use of com. l would call your atten-
ton to the fact that in England and
the northern part of Scotland. the fin
est meats in the world are produced
upon such feeds as the small grains,
turnips and other root crops which
thrive in that climate. We have much
yet to learn in regard to development
of such feeding and our possibilities
under average conditions in this state.
