HUNTING HIS BOY
7. W. Thompson of Salina, Kan,
Was Here Monday.

l. H. Thompson of Salina, Kan,
was in Greeley last Monday, looking
for his l4.year-old son, Eugene, who
left home some time in the middle
of July and has hardly been heard OF
since by his parents, who have now
completely lost track OF him. Inc
father has so far traced the boy to
Denver and from there to LaSalIe.
From that place the parents have
reliable information that he left a
Union Pacific train upon whlch ne
seemed to intend going to Cheyenne
The conductor who carried him that
far stated TO Mr.. Thompson that he
had given the boy permission to Tide
with him to Cheyenne. but in spite
of this he left the train at LaSaiie.
The mother of the yonug MAJ is
Frustrated with grief, and it was for
this reason that the father, who is
in the United States mail service,
started out TO find the truant.
The young man is described as un-
usually lalrge for. his size and appears
extremely awkward in walk and man
pers. The father believes he may
have come to this section to work in
the country, and has requested Mar
shall Camp to keep lookout for the
boy and to detain him If found, until
his parents can be communicated

ment is, unique in that she gives the

pianist and elocutionist. She also
has the distinction of possessing the
deepest voice of any of the four
greatest lady baritones in the world,
her voice reaching three notes lower

A Reformed Politician.

Paul Gregory for many years jailer
for Arapahoe county, came up to La
Sale three years ago and bought a
quarter section of land adjoining the
town on the southwest Here he
has built house with all the con-
venienceS of city home and has
gone into diversified farming with
the vim and enthusiasm that spell
success. This year he has tried a
little of everything under the sun
that is supposed to grow in Colorado.
and a walk over his farm will give
the visitor many tips on what can be
raised on Weld county ranch. He
has about 45 acres of corn, mostly
Swadley and yellow Dent, that has
done well and will give him al! kinds
of feed for his stock. He raised a
Car of pumpkins on an acre and
quarter. that will bring him easily
800. Two acres of field peas gave
him good feed for his porkers He
has II acres in melons, which be-
sides furnishing the buns along the
railroad with luncheon has made Mr..
Gregory some money. We think a
good. active bulldog would he good
investment for him. He has per-
haps the finest cold storage of any
farmer in the county. He has a big
windmill which supplies water for
house and lawn, and the tower has
been made unusually large. This
has been boarded up with a foot Of
sawdust between the two walls and
the floor concerted. Here he can
keep the cold out in winter and the
heat out in summer. He has planted
the hill on which his house stands
with trees and in few years he will
have all kinds OF shade and wind
breaks. Mr.. Gregory's record as
keeper Of the county Jail at Denver
for seven years was an enviable one,
and he Is proving to be very pro-
gressive farmer at his new home and
is doing much by example that will
add materially to the improvement

JUDGE hAlDERMAN,

The Democrats Of the eighth judi
cial district met in the court house
at Fort Collins Saturday to nominate
a candidate for judge, to succeed
Judge Garrieues, who was appointed
last winter by Governor Peabody, un-
der the new law giving two judges
to this district. There were dele
gates favoIing Former Judge Bough-
ton of Fort Collins, and A. G. Pat
ton of Boulder, but Grant E. Hal
derman Of Longmont had the conven-
tion by large majority and he was
nominated without any struggle.
Mr.. Halderman is an able lawyer
and il elected will honor his party
and the district Years ago he was
connected with the management Of
the Oasis hotel, this city, with Frank
Shoemaker, during which time he
studied law, and he has many well
wishers in Greeley and Weld county.
That he is amply competent to oc.
cupy the bench, even his political
enemies admit. He is man Of
honor and integrity and we'll read in
Colorado law, especially those por
tions bearing on irrigation matters,
and the farmers at this end OF the
district need have no fear but what
their interests will be handled in an
impartial manner and as the laws
command,

Reefs VS.. Potatoes.

There has been much argument
and discussion the past year among
farmers as to the effect on land sown
with sugar beets, compared with
land devoted to potatoes. AS the
average yield per acre OF sugar beets
is put at fourteen tons, and the aver
age yield OF potatoes is eighty sacks,
or not quite i've tons, it was natural
to suppose that the former crop
would tend to impoverish the soil to
greater degree than from the growth
Of potatoes. Many farmers are of
the opinion that beets will eventually
destroy the land unless it be con-
stantly manured and the extra ex-
pense attending this would render
the growing of sugar Deets too costly.
S. A. Bradtield and NJ. j. Baxter
have each given the matter a practi-
cal test this year and report as fol-
lows:
Lands that were in beets and pota-
toes last season were put this year to
wheat and alfalfa. The wheat from
Mr.. Bradfeld's potato land was tf-
teen bushels the acre more Than that
grown on beet land, but the wheat
from the latter portion was heavier
and OF better quality, aod the alfalfa
was much the better stand than
what was grown on the potato land.
With Mr.. Baxter the difference was
twenty bushels the acre more on the
potato land tran on the beet land.
S. II. Southland claims that to grow
sugar beets profitably the farmers
must feed sheep each winter, as the
droppings enrich the soil much bette I
than any other manure used, but the
land must be yearly rotated with
crops of alfalfa and wheat; and he
questions If beets at 81. so ton and
a haul of three miles is equal to a
potato yield Of eighty sacks to the
acre.

LlTTLEFIELD'S BILL
GOES TO THE SENATE
Committee VIII Report 1t with
Amendments.


Washington, Feb. 16-The Senate
Committee on the Judiciary to-day
concluded consideration of the Little
field antitrust bill and decided to re-
port to the Senate with a number OF
very important amendments The
most important changes were made in
connection with sections and after
the House bill. for which the Senate
committee will recommend complete
substitutes.
Section g. as the bill passed the House.
prohibited persons engaged in violat-
ing the provisions of the law from US
ing any of the instrumentalities of in
terstate commerce. This purpose is re-
tanned in the substitute of the Senate
committee, but the scope of the pro-
vision is enlarged. so that as agreed
on 1t forbids any corporation attempt
ing to monopolize production or sale
from engaging in interstate commerce
for the purpose of furtherng such
production or sale.
The new section defines a monopoly
at length. 1t also prescribes the con-
| ditions under which it shall be unlaw-
| full for any corporation hereafter Or
| ganized to engage in interstate COM
merce.
section or the House bill imposed
fine of $4,000 on common carriers for
the violation of this act or the exist
ing interstate commerce law. The sub
stitute uses the word Corporation"
instead of the words common carrier"
and provides for a forfeit to the Unit
ed States.
1t was over these two substitutes
that the committee had its sharpest
contest and closest votes. They were
carried by the full Democratic vote,
with the assistance of three Republi-
cans. the senator's voting for the
amendments being Hoar. Nelson and
McComas. Republicans, and Bacon,
Pettus, Turner. Blackburn and Culber-
son, Democrats The negative votes
were cast by Senators Platt of Con-
necticut, Clark of Wyoming, Fair
banks, Simon and Depew, Republicans.
Many other changes were made in
the text of the bill
Only two votes were cast against the
final motion to report the bill These
were given by Senator Plat of Con-
necticut and Senator Clark of Wyom-
ing.
Senator Nelson offered a substitute
for the entire bill, specifically declar-
ing against mergers on the part OF
