STRAWBERRY DAY A SUCCESS
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ATTEND CELEBRATION OF GLE
WOODS SEVENTH ANNUAL STRAWBERRY DAY
"VoU oIVtN1H ANNUAL S1RAWBtRR7 DAY
Weather Perfect and Strawberries Plenty
Six Bands furnished Music at all Hours of The Day And
Evening at as Many Different Places Down Town .

From far and near came the hosts
of men, women and children to accept
of the invitation to attend the seventh
annual celebration of Straw berry Day
at Glenwood Springs. The event took
place last Saturday, upwards of 4, OOO
people being guests of the towns
people. No effort was spared to make
the occasion the most enjoyable one
of the series and from the expressions
of satisfaction heard from all sides
Glenwood accomplished that purpose
Everybody seemed to enter into the
spirit of the occasion and there was
no untoward event to mar their happi
ness
Free Strawberries and cake were
furnished to all who presented them
e selves at the opera house from II in
the morning to o. clock in the after
noon and there was constant stream
coming and going during that. time
Headquarters for the members of the
press according to custom, had been
established at Odd Fellows hall where
refreshments were served to those con
nected with the newspapers of the
state.
Here let us take occasion to thank
the editors of the different newspapers
for the space they gave us telling their
readers of what good time they
would have in visiting Glenwood, for
it was due to them largely that so
many people came from the towns
around
The business men of the city sub
scribed literally to the fund which
was used for decorations and other
purposes and much credit is due that
committee for the taste shown in dis
playing the decorations, which were
as handsome ds upon any similar oc :
casion in the history of the town
The music furnished by the five
outside bands from Leadville, Aspen,
Redstone and Grand Junction was one
of the features of the days. The
Woodmen's band from Leadville and
Schiller's orchestra which was COM
posed of young men and ladies', were
especially deserving of mention, the
latter giving most enjoyable concert
on the lawn Sunday afternoon. The
Redstone band and the Aspen drum
corps dispensed music which was not
surpassed by either one of the other
organizations The Grand Junction
band played to enthusiastic and com
plimentary crowds of people. Men
tion should also be made of the local
band which rendered it's music in its
usual pleasing manner 1t is seldom
that any entertainment out of doors
has as much and as fine music as was
the case Saturday and Sunday and
it was largely due to this fact that
the crowds enjoyed themselves so
thoroughly.
There were two baseball games dur
ing the day, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon. The Aspen
drum corps played between innings at
the afternoon game. There was also
a game Sunday afternoon which was
attended by large number of people
What was probably the most en-.
joyable occasion for many of the visi-

Germ Life In the Soil.

Recent studies of soil bacteria have
shown why mineral fertilizers do not
always produce the best results with
certain crops and also an unsupported
reason for soil tillage. 1t was found
that within a radius of five feet the
number of bacteria in the soil do not
vary greatly, but numerically these are
very great, ranging from 100000 to
10000 900 per gram of soil. Thorough
ly ~pulverizing and stirring the soil pro.
duced a six-fold multiplication of these
long unsupported allies of the farmer.
Bacterial analyses of the soil of test
pots of earth showed that the addition
of liberal quantities of mineral salts,
which act as great stimulators of plant
growth, were without appreciable eff
feet on the bacterial development. Sew
eral distinctly different types were
found co-existing in the same soil, and
in the particular Investigations under
discussion three different organisms
were determined and named.

j. d. KObuS has made some expert
ments for the purpose of determining
whether it is possible to improve SUI
gar canes by vegetative propagation of
selected plants, and whether there is
any correlation between the amount
of sugar present and the power of re-
sisting the sereh disease. The results
obtained from experiments extending
over a period of several years, and in
volving very numerous analyses, prom
Use to be very valuable to sugar plant
ers. 1t is shown that for any given
variety of the sugar cane, when grown
under uniform conditions, the heavier
the plant the greater is the proportion
of sugar formed. Also that by taking
cuttings from canes which contain a
large amount of sugar, the plants SO
obtained continue to show this in
crease. Further, it was found that as
the proportion of sugar was increased
by selection according to the total
weight of the plants, so does the pow
er of resistance to the sereh disease
also become greater.

Western Canada's Wheat Fields Produce
It Magnificent Yields - Free Grants
of Land to Settlers.
The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement of
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, fOrty-four States and,
districts were represented in the Off
cial statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 400G entries, Mime
sofa being a close second with 1887,
but with the exception of Alabama and
Mississippi and Delaware every State
in the Union supplied settlers who, in
order to secure farms in the fertile
prairie country of Canada, became citi-
zens Of, and took the oath of allegiance
to, the Dominion. Last year no less
than 11,S41 Americans entered for
homestead lands in Canada.
From the Gulf to the boundary. and
from ocean to ocean, the trek to the
Dominion goes on. Not only the wheat
growers of the Central Mississippi Val
ley, but the ranchers of Texas and
New Mexico, and the c%ultivators of the
comparatively virgin soil of Oklahoma
are pouring towards the productive
vacant lands of the Canadian North
west. 1t is no tentative, half-hearted
departure for an alien country that is
manifested in this exodus; it has be-
I come almost a rush to secure posses
sion Of land which it is feared, by
those imperfectly acquainted with the
vast area Of Canada's vacant lands,
may all be acquired before they ar
rive. There is no element of specula-
ton or experiment in the migration.
The settlers have full information re-
specting the soil, wealth, the farming
methods, the laws, taxation and sys-
tenn Of government Of the country to
which they are moving, and they real

Canada are in every respect better and
greater than those they have enjoyed
in the land they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
; cordially every American farmer coming
to the Dominion. There is no question
but that these immigrants make the
most desirable settlers obtainable for
the development of the prairie portion
of the Dominion. Full information
a be had from any authorized Cana
dian Government Agent, whose ad-
dress will be found elsewhere.

No Desire to Catch Her.

James f. Sweeney, of the Suffolk
(Mass.) bar, is noted for the brightness
and aptnesS of his retorts. Recently
in a cas- a woman was very refractory
under cross-examination, and although
the lawyer used all politeness and
mildness, sharp and unsatisfactory re.
plies were received. Her meek and
humble husband was present in court.
Mr.. Sweeney tried another innocent
question, when the lady responded
with vindictive fire flashing from her
eyes: Mr.. Lawyer, you needn't think
you can catch me; no sir, you can't
catch me- With his most pleasing
smile Mr.. Sweeney responded: Mad
am, 1 haven't the slightest desire to
catch you, and your husband looks to
me as if he was sorry he had succeed.
ed A ripple of laughter went round
the court room, the judge stroked his
mustache to hide a smile and the crier
raped for order.-Law Notes.

OLD RANGE FIGHT BREAKS OUT.
Cowboys Burn a Sheep Herders' Camp
and Kill 5000 Sheep.

Laramie, Wyo.-A clash between the
cattlemen and sheepmen took place
thirty miles south of here, in which the
cowboys succeeded in capturing fifteen
sheep herders and killing 5000 head of
sheep. The captured nerders were tied
to trees, where they remained all night.
Their camp and equipment were
burned.
The trouble is the old one of the
range, the passage of a large band of
sheep, killing the grass. and the cat
tlemen demand that no sheep be per-
mitted to Craze On the range. Further
trouble is expected, as the sheepmen
say that they will refuse to be run out.

Snake Indians Going to Mexico.

The Snake Indians have decided to
leave the Indian Territory, which has
been their home for half a century,
and on the Goth of April will hold a
convention, at which will be selected
three delegates to go to old Mexico to
look out for a location for the band.
They have been told that they can find
there for the taking a hunting ground
that will suit their fancy, and will not
in this generation or the next be en-
croached upon by the whites.
This movement is headed by lobe
Berryhill, and he will be one of the
delegates. The Snake band has risist-
ed allotment to the last, and now that
they have been forced to take arbi-
trary allotment they threaten to leave
the land given them by the Govern
ment and go in a body to a new home.
There are about 200 of the Snake band
who will still swear allegiance to their
old time leader.-Kansas City journal.
