Rust in Cotton.

Reports from all over the State
are coming in regarding the rust
and blight in cotton. Such a
change was never known in so short
time. Within the last ten days
cotton has been damaged rs per
cent. The sudden dry weather, to-
gether with cold nights and strong
winds, has wrought terrible disas-
ter to the cotton. A farmer who
works two-horse crop stated that
two weeks ago he was sure of twenty
three bales, but he is now willing
to take fifteen bales. The damage
can't be overestimated, and the same
reports come from all sections.

Few men have been g IN
fluential during the last SIX Or
seven years in building opera
tions in this city as George E.
Trout, who, as a contractor, has
had supervision of the erection
OF some of the largest business
and residential structures built
here during that period. In the
short space allotted to us it Is
impossible to refer to half the
houses built by MIR. Trout in
this city, among them however,
being the Catholic school. the
United Presbyterian church, the
Clelland block, the Apex block,
Christ Episcopal church, the resi-
dences of ]. D. Biggs, w. HI.
Trout and the late Jesse RAIDER.
Honest, reliable and painstaking
men should be appreciated in
any community, especially in
this line of work, for the respon-
sibility of creating an attractive
and substantial CITY rests upon
our contractors and builders,
and TO this class Mr.. Trout GER
tainly belongs. MIR. Trout has
long experience in the business,
having been in Aspen four years
and Victor one year in the same
class of work. He is progress
sive and Industrious and well
deserves the success that has
come to him.
