TO SETTLE WATER SUIT.
Effort Is Being Made to Annex Part
of Kansas to Colorado.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 3-An effort at
a solution of the Kansas Colorado
water suit 10 in pr ,gress, and if the
efforts of those most interested in the
case are successful strip of the western
portion of Kansas, about $50 miles
wide, will be annexed to the state OF
Colorado, and the litigation now be-
fore tie supreme court at Washington
will be thrown out.
Politicians in both Kansas and Colo
RADIO are working for the passage OF a
bill through the legislatures of both
states whereby the western portion of
Kansas can be taken into Colorado.
This, it is thought by those who have
given the irrigation question much
study will solve the difficulty. and both
states will be benefited to a great ex-
tent. L. P. Worden, of Syracuse,
Kas., and G. @. Kennison, of Garden
City, Kas., a candidate for representa-
tive from that county are in Pueblo in
the intereet of the plan.
"It would settle the water question
in Western Kansas forever and the suit
now in the courts would be dropped as
there would no longer be any reason
for continuing it" said Mr.. Wordcn to-
day.
Both Mr.. Worden and Mr.. Kennison
appeared before the government COM
mission when it was in session here,
and are thoroughly familiar with the
situation. They say they are supported
by practically every resident of West
ern Kansas.

New Milk Process.

A new French process of sterilizfng
milk, the fat of the milk is thoroughly
broken up after heating, thus avoiding
the lumpiness of the cream which con-
sumers have found so Objectionable.
1t is said that when cream is treated
by this machine, it is rendered quite
homogeneous, and the fact that the
fat globules are broken up makes the
cream look thicker and become more
uniform. When milk and cream are
treated by a homogenizing machine,
they mix more thoroughly with tea and
coffee. Having seen the advantages
of the process, some of the largest
dairy companies in London have Or

F1Ghf1ng ROadside WecdSs
In some States there are county laws
which make it obligatory for those In
charge Of the roads to see that road
side weeds are cut twice during the
growing season, first before July and
the second time before the first OF
September, It would be well If such
law was in force in all sections,
and yet the fighting Of obnoxious
weeds seems to be one of those things
for which no law should be required.
Farmers ought to be more than will
ing to combine among themselves for
mutual protection, even going SO far
as to cut the weeds in front of the
farm of any man who will not do the
work himself. This would not need to
be done very often, for shame would
soon compel such man to do his
duty.
The main trouble with weeds, how
ever, is with such as are allowed to
grow inside the fence line, for few
farmers are willing to spend the time
necessary to rid their farms of these.
Combine with each other to rid the
roadside Of weeds, and then let every
man take care Of those inside the
fence and elsewhere on his farm. If
this weed fighting was done systemad-
cally instead of spasmodicaliy. it
cidedly lessen the weed crop and ma
terially increase the valuable crops as
well as save much labor.-Exchange.

LOSS IS HEAVY
Flood Works Ruin in Colo
rddO and New Mexico.
ALL RAILROAD ARE TIED up
Thirty Blocks in Trinidad arc Un-
der Two to Four Feet of Wafer
Loss Will Be Very Heavy.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 3.-A terrific
food struck the city of Trinidad ane
the whole valley along the Las Amman
river, today, devastating a wide section
and causing a money loss which al
present cannot be estimated, but which
may reach several hundred thousands Of
dollars.
Every bridge in the city of Trinidad
is out, the Santa Fe station is demol-
ished, all of the railroads are tied up,
and the telephone and telegraph services
completely suspended. More than 80
city blocks in the residence and busl-
ness sections were two to four feet under
water along the rvier
So far as known at noon no lives
were lost, but there were many narrow
escapes.
The food was caused by the heavy
rain which has been falling for two
days. At 8 o'clock last night the
storm assumed cloudburst proportions,
and at 2 o'clock this morning the Las
Animas river went over it's banks.
At $3.50 it was impossible to get
within block of the river bed at any
point, and Commercial street was flood
ed for three blocks in the heart of the
business district. Meantime the elec-
. trio light and gas plants had been flood
ed, and the city was in complete dark
ness.
Hundreds OF citizens thronged the
streets on the edge of the submerged
district carrying lanterns and doing
their best to provide those driven from
their homes with shelter.
Warning of the flood was given when
the river left its banks by revolver shots
and the ringing of the fire alarm, fol-
lowed by the blowing of all the loco
motive and shop whistles in town.
Citizens upon RATS made of sections of
sidewalks padded through the streets,
rescuing families who were in danger.
The new Bacca hotel, q two story
structure just reaching completion at
a cost of sec, 900 on the river bank,
was destroyed. The water then ate its
way through 80 feet of the ground to
the Santa Fe depot, which was carried
away.
The city is divided by the Las
Animas river, which is spanned by six
wagon bridges. All of the bridges
were washed out and many residents
were unable to reach their homes or to
communicate with their families. the
telephone system being wrecked.

LAND FRAUDS ALL RUN DOWN.

Washington, Sept. 80. - Special
Agent A. R. Greene, who has been Sec
retary Hitchcock's trusted lieutenant
in running down land frauds in Ore
gon, is in Washington, conferring with
the secretary. Discussing Oregon s
affairs, Mr.. Greene said:
"We believe we have finished up
that land fraud business in Oregon
We have the men resposible held under
indictment and it is safe prediction
that there will be some hot news out
of Portland within the next month or
two, when the trials commence"
After describing the methods of the
fraudulent operators, Mr.. Greene add
ed:
The usual thing happened. One
member of the gang did not think he
was getting his fair share of the profits
and gave the thing away.

Two Hundred Homeless.

Albuquerque, N. M, Oct. 4.-The
wild sweep of water, raising the Rio
Grande to the highest point for more
than a year, has made 200 people in
this vicinity homeless. Barelos. a
suburb, is under two feet of water and
many homes are abandoned. Alameda

upon the dam, which it is feared may
give way. The railroads have suffered
greatly in the Rio Grande valley.

Lamar, Colo, Oct. 4.-The food in
the Arkansas river reached here today
and washed out the north approach OF
the bridge over the river at this place.
The bottom land on the north side is
under water. The river is rising rap
idly but no further damage is antici-
pated here. Telephone reports from
Prowers, nine miles west of Lamar,
show that the water there is at the
highest stage known in 80 years. The
entire Prowers 1anch is under water
and the residents were compelled to
seek safety on the tops of their houses.

Profit In Hand Separator,

Profit In Hand Separator.
Hand separators average about 500
| each, but this cost can be saved in a
year In any dairy where ten or more
cows are kept; this has been demon
strated time and again, so there is no
doubt about it. Manufacturers of sepa-
rators claim that the saving is about
ten dollars a COW per year and is based
on the fact that the cream is taken
from the milk while it is sweet, hence
there is no danger of It becoming sour,
and because Of this almost perfect con-
dition the cream ripens more evenly
and, therefore, makes a better quail
ity Of butter. Again, as the separat-
ing Is done soon after milking the
value of the skim milk for feeding pur-
poses is greater, as it is usually given
to young stock while it still retains
the animal warmth. There is every
thing in favor OF the hand separator
and nothing against it, so that any
man with dairy of proper size, who
does not have a separator is cheating
himself out Of just 80 much good
profit
Suggestions to shepkerds.
Sheep require a variety of food to
form flesh and fat
With sheep, rather more than with
any other class of stock, care must be
taken not to overfeed.
Overstocking is usually injurious to
the sheep and ruinous to the farmer.
Dryness is one Of the requirements
in the production of the finest grades
Of wool.
Sheep are naturally gregarous.
When one is seen by itself something
is evidently wrong.
No sheep should be allowed to die
of old age, but all should be fattened
and sent to market before their vital
ity has been impaired.
In commencing to fatten sheep, the
feeding should not be crowded at first,
but gradually increase the amount of
the ration.
A small, fat sheep will always bring
better prices than large, poor one.
To have good-sized sheep, they must
be grown rapidly while young, and it
is important to give them a good start.

That she should be so earnest all the

When became a-weary of my play.
Yet now that life grows harsh and sad

Behold my friend of friends, most stanch

When Sorrow presseth hard upon my way
With her alone find my blest release
From care in deep forgetfulness and
