If all the banks and wholesale
houses were to close for four successive
days in this country we would think
the world was coming to an end.
Labor is at the head and wages have
been good and work fairly steady, but
there is beginning to be reaction.
Among the smaller manufacturers
there are many failures. The constant
demands of the union leaders. the ever
increasing number of holidays has
made it impossible to run concern
with any profit, and there is strong
influx of immigration toward the
states. In consequence Of this there
is much idleness among the common
| wage earners.
The country at large is now support
ing many on the great ranches or sta
tons as they are called, for after seven
years of drought there is abundant
rainfall and work there Is plenty.
| With the domestics the problem Is
practically the same as with us. The
faithful Abigail is but a memory. In
stead there are two classes, the regular
servant of high wages and exorbitant
demands and a new class-sprung up
from the same fields as the sales
ladies, namely, the lady help. A good
servant must work and keep her place.
AS is only too common nowadays,
though, such servants are scarce, and
for a home in moderate circumstances
the wages are impossible.
For these there is the lady help.
These are ladies in reduced circum-
stances-that is always the first thing
you are given to understand-usually
working for pin money or for the COM
partnership.
In return for the services of the lady
help you pay her about half the wage
of the ordinary servant, and though
she expects to do your work, yet She
assumes the position of relative or
visitor in the family. She prepares
the meals, but she also eats them with

bell and probably takes seat in the

perity. Stage by stage the irrigation
system has been perfected, and to-day
farmers of this locality enjoy annual
crops, vast reservoirs storing water for
time of drought.
The Colorado farmer raises wheat,
oats, barley, alfalfa, potatoes, sugar
beets, all kinds of vegetables and small
fruits, and several of the larger fruits.
The sugar beet industry is a recent one,
but one that has made great strides and
which is being encouraged by the state.
The towns situated in Colorado's farm
ing regious are examples of prosperity
and progress, present pictures OF excel
lent results obtained in comparatively
brief period, indicate that the spade as
we'll as the pick has proved valuable
tool in the state.
A beautiful country it is, country
with a unique charm, that with farm
lands close bordering high mountain
peaks; and to the fanciful it seems a
land suggestive of the diverse elements
within its borders, the grim, mysterious
mountains standing for the dangerous,
uncongenial labors of the miner; the
green fields of waving grain bespeaking
the busy but rewarded labor of the agri-
culturist. And as the fields encroach
more and more upon the ranges, perhaps
after a while the miner will have been
superseded by the farmer.
1t may be of interest just at this time,
in the midst of the Colorado labor trou-
bIes, to mention an experiment begun in
1902 by the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM

st. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-An imperial
decree has been published directing that
in commemoration of the czarevitch's

from the imperial privy purse sufficient
to found 100 scholarships. These are
to be divided equally between naval and
military educational establishments.
The scholarships are to be named after
the emperor and empress and awarded
to children of deserving soldiers and
sailors killed or wounded in the war.

Ofcourse we must acknowledge that the
life of the shepherds in western America

lures the shepherds to be, newspaper
readers well knowing of the feud be-

agricultural Colorado certainly is not
as a whole so very different from order

sentiment is for peace and progress, not
for war; the farming interests have no
small voice in affairs. State canals are
constructed and operated in the further

CHER, farmer living on Winona Ridge,
a few miles south of Winona, was
dragged through a bar oed wire fence
and suffered injuries from which he

became frightened and dashed through

berries short distance from their

two picked berries for some time,
when Drew noticed a moving object in
the bushes near where they were stand

Colorado is Of wide extent, and what
goes on in three counties need not be
typical of what takes place in her 81
other counties. She has an area equal
to that of New York plus all of New

To the popular imagination she conists

yet these are by no means the last words
about this great state.

Aid for Schools.

The number of graded schools in
Minnesota entitled to the state aid has
increased about 25 per cent, and the
number of high schools about IL per
cent during the last year.
The state high school board at it's
meeting at the state capitol approved
the applications of las graded schools
and of 102 high schools for state aid.
The board last year granted state aid
to 121 graded schools and Isl high
schools.
The law relating to state aid for
schools provides for maximum annu-
al aid of $3.50 for graded schools and of
$500 to high schools, and the last le-
gislature increased the appropriation
in hope that each school might receive
the maximum aid.

A Queer Case.

The deputy sheriffs at the St Louis
county Jail have in prospect the novel
experience of ejecting prisoner whose
term has expired, simply because he
will not go of his own accord. His
name is John Mattson, and he has just
completed 6O-day sentence for smash
ing windows at Ely. When told he
was free, Mattson nodded but did not
go, and when again reminded that he
was no longer prisoner he still pre-
tended to not understand. 1t is said
that Mattson has $1,000 in the bank,
and the sheriff says he will charge him
for his board if he does not get out
pretty soon.
