ed out through chance visitors.
Not long since a gentleman living in
South Omaha heard there was good
fishing On the Big Laramie and made
some inquiry among sporting goods
men. None of them knew anything
about our streams and advised him to
60 elsewhere, but he had heard from a
mar who had fished here and conclud-
ed to try it. To say that he was de
lighted is putting it mild. Fifty miles
Of the Big Laramie furnishes magnifi-
cent sport, from the %six-pound rainbow
to the small speckled beauty running
four or five to the pound.
Colorado does a tremendous bust
ness in catering to the tourist and the
sportsman. 1t is estimated that from
Two to three millions are left in that
state annually by the classes of people
mentioned. They hasten to the noun
tains to escape the heat of the eastern
cities and incidentally they enjoy them
selves catching trout or in seeking
health in the ~invigorating ozone.
The writer mentioned calls attention
to the fact that some of the scenery
along the Big Laramie is equal to that
in the vicinity Of Manitou. Colo, and
ut the same time the country is Of a
wilder nature.
All that is needed to turn a large
number of fishermen this way is to
make the fact known that the sport is
here. Colorado advertises for the sum
mer business and the winter business.
It advertises all the time. Reference
to the Sunday papers discloses the
fact that Victor has just raised 81. 900
for the publicity fund being raised all
over the state, and recently glowing ac-
counts were sen broadcast from
Washington of an elegant reception
given by Millionaire Walsh for the pur-
pose Of permitting his friends and the
friends of Colorado to hear a lecturer,
hired by the year, descant on the beau

GOOD Demand
FOR DRAFT HORSES

The automobile no longer has any
terrors for the raiser of draft horses.
1t Is not likely that It will ever take
the place of horses for hauling trucks
I'm large cities, at least not until the
machine has been very much improv-
ed and cheapened In cost, Henry
Siegel. in opening his great dry goods
store In New York last week, consid-
cred the question of the use of horses
or automobiles for delivery purposes,
and 1t did not take him long to de-
eide.
He and his associates had tried
steam and electric trucks, and this,
with the experience of other large
firms. decided for them that horses
were better In every way for their
purpose. An order for 24o horses OF
the best draft type was accordingly
placed with one firm.
Experience has shown that a team
will do more work with truck. do 1t
better day In and day out. and do It
with less delay than the best motor
car. The horse will lose fewer hours
In a month or a year than the best
and most perfect machine. 1t Is be-
lieved that the demand for draft
horses Is steadily on the Increase.
Farmers will. therefore. nnd 1t to
their interest to improve their breeds
and to generally pay more attention
to this branch Of their business. -

SAN FRANCISCO, May l3.-Grea,
interest is manifested by 'Friscoites in
DR.. Greth's dirigible airship. Many
believe that when the race between
airships comes OF at st. Louis the local
mans invention will get a good share
of the prize money.
DR.. Greth has succeeded in making
several ascents, although he has not
yet navigated his creation to his sat
isfaction. Recently he started on what
was to be a 50-mile journey through
the clouds, but valve going wrong
caused him to descend after five miles
had been covered.
The date of the next ascension is
not set, but it will doubtless depend
upon weather conditions and the COM
pletion of repairs. The big airship,
which has been navigated against the
wind successfully, is worked by Bald
win, the aeronaut, and the machinery
is under the charge of Fred Belcher.
