| Luther Burbank, the well-known
| California floriculturist, has evolved
a new flower wonder. 1t is a bios
som that never fades and never loses
/ its shape. The story sounds impos-
| sible. but Mr.. Burbank and those
| who have seen the new blossom
/ vouch for its correctness. Mr.. Bur
bank calls his latest effort the Aus
| tralian Star Flower" He secured
| ii after crossing, re-crossing and Sc
| lection from Il haif-hardy annual
that is found in West Central Aus
tralia.
The plant is described by Mr.
Burbank as unique and beautiful. 9"
He says, and this is one of the best
features, it grows readily from seed
in any ordinary garden soil. prefer
ring rather sandy loan. 1t blooms
early in the season and continues to
bloom for long time. The flow
ers are fragrant. crimson in color us
ually, though sometimes shading to-
wards white. and grow in graceful
clusters When cut, as stated, they
retain their odor, color and form
permanently.
The creator of the flower believes
it will be grown evntually in such
numbers as to make it possible to
displace the artificial flowers now
useu so much IN millinery. Ger
tainly 1t would be a pretty idea
to use real, instead of artificial flow
ers on hats and bonnets And if
anybody but Luther Burbank had
announced such discovery he
wouldn't have been able to get ten
people to believe him. Mr.. Bur
banks fame as a grower of useful
and beautiful things is. however,
secure.

potato is known practically from one

The biggest thing before the peo-
pie of Glenwood at the present time
is a general Christmas tree This
proposition may be good one for
the town of Glenwood Springs, but
for Grand Junction It would be nee
essary to hire all out DOORS to
accommodate the crowd and then

The city schools dismissed this af-
ternoon for the holidays. In nearly
every room Il program appropriate
in its makeup was carried out. The
pupils of the lower grades spent a
most joyous afternoon and all went
home happy in the thought of
Christmas being near at hand and
whole week of merry-making. The
schools will resume work on Tues
day, January .. The first half of the
term. or rather the fall term, has
been splendid one in every way.
Good work has been accomplished in
every department and the results
are satisfactory to both the pupils
and the teachers. Superintendent
Allen has had the fun cooperation
of the patrons of the school and his
management of the city schools has
met with the hearty commendation
of all. He is a gentleman admirably
fitted for the position which he

New York, June 3-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 6d2I points on covering. in response to very strong Liverpool cables, the better spot demand in that market, private cables reporting the possibility of full time in Manches- ter. The New Orleans market was closed for the day. but wire houses here with New Orleans connections were active sell lers at the opening advance, and these offerings seemed to convice the local contingent that the southern bulls still had cotton to liquidate through the local market.
 This started renewal of bear pressure and the market soon after the call de- cined to about II .57 for July Later it rallied again on covering by the smaller shorts owing to the continued f1rmness of the Liverpool cables, and just before midday sold up to Il .97 for the summer months while the new crop influenced by favorable weather reports, ruled relative ly heavy. The estimates for Saturday g receipts at leading points, however. were full and helped to depress the market in the afternoon when there seemed to be some Wall street bear pressure. and prices again eased off, reaching the lowest level of the session when July sold at II .55 and the general list showed a net loss of 3 points to an advance of 9 points.
 III tue ldte klTdulnS tHe market was a little steadier on the covering of room shorts who seemed desirous of evening up in view of the government report to- morrow and for over Sunday, when there might be a change for the worse in the weather, although the present indications are for favorable conditions. The close was steady with the old crop net 10 F points higher, and the new crop months unchanged to points lower. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales
 Receipts at the ports today 27s1 bales against 3125 last week For the week 20. 000 bales against 26.27S last week and 5.295 last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans 340 bales against 1774 last year, and at Houston i96 against 146 last year.

SdluWcil 0 WdroS s 0raln Letter.
 By Bartlett Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago. June 3.-Wheat.-The crop news took precedence over the cash stt- uation as a bull influence today. The market was nervous and small up to noon when semi-offlcial confirmation of the private advices of threatened floor damage in the west and southwest gave values decided bulish impetus, the July again selling in the sos. The Modern Miller commented on southwestern sit uation but considers the condition of crop on the whole maintained although the Ohio valley indications are for but half crop. H. Y. Jones of the Commercial West, was uncompromisingly bullish in every particular. He says conditions in the southwest warrant serious attention The crop shows no improvement the past month and the yield east of the Rockies will be 50.000.000 short of last year with half a crop in Texas, a small crop in Oklahoma. and a sensationally small one In the Ohio valley. The weather In spring wheat belt Is too cool to give crop a good start. Snow Is optimistic and figures on an improvement of two, three points for the month of May and makes no special comment on the excessive rains. The Ohio state report is 54 compared with 53 month ago The local cash business was very quiet with both the demand and offerings light. Minneapolis reports sug- gest much the same condition of affairs up there.
 Corn.-Local traders held bearlsh views during the forenoon but the market was firm and little covering started a rapid advance the last hour, on which new rec ords were made The situation Is little changed on respect to movement. Coun- try purchases are small, while local re- ceipts are liberal the result of last week g free selling on the part of the farmers Demand Is somewhat improved In the sample market the price of good corn was steady but the poor grades were from to, bushels lower. The continued wet weather is receiving considerable atten- ton Is becoming a feature. Snow reports the weather the past week poor for corn, too cool for prompt germination and ear ly growth with considerable complaint of deficient stand because of poor seed Provisions Packers were on both sides of the market selling September deliver les early when the market was a small one and later buying ribs and lard. The market was very large one. the last hour with buying general, led by the packers. Estimated receipts, 2o,00o.
