THE FARM AND RANGE
Peas in San Luis Valley.

Down in the San Luis valley the s..s
dealers have sold out all their seed p.a.
and demands for more are still coming
in. So many OF the farmers In thai
lection are putting in peas this season
10 feed to lambs next fall that some n,
the more cautious are expressing fears
that the lamb feeding business will h.
over done. There are even a few croak
srs who are predicting all kinds OF los.
and disaster for the enterprising farm
eis who are embarking in the new en-
rerprise. There is no cause for any
alarm from this source II the whoIs
valley is planted in peas and complete-
ly filled with lambs next fall, they will
all find a market without difficulty
The truth of the matter is, that rhe
San Luis valley people have struck q
good thing and they will do well to
work it for all there is in it. The sup
ply OF lambs from that locality thus fa-
las been only a drop in the bucket
not enough to make the consuming
public familiar with their value The
packers have discovered their value
however, and will pay top prices for
the pea-fed lambs from the valley.
When the public becomes acquainted
with this new delicacy, the demand Will
lie so strong that all the valley can pro-
duce Will not be anywhere near enough.
The Fort Collins district will do some
experimenting with the peas this sea-
son and the chances are that peas and
beet pulp will make an ideal ration for
lambs.
And there is good reason why the
pea-fed lamb is superior to the corn
fed. The pea-made fat is edible while
corn fat is not. Peas put on a nice
firm white fat well distributed. and the
flesh is white and tempting. 1t is
more like the English mutton than
anything produced in this country, and
when the public becomes familiar with
it there will be no trouble about the
demand Record -Stockman

Butter.
Vanadium in New Mexico.

a large deposit of vanadium or sper-
rylite has been discovered about three
miles from Hillsboro. Sierra county
the deposit having been traced dis
tance of 4,5O0 feet. This ore has been
previously known locally as Endlite
but the other day it was found that It
carried over three per cent. OF plati-
mum radium. The deposit exists in
three mines which have been opened
up in several spots, specimens having
been shipped east and sold at what
they would bring for specimen value
It is estimated that the mines now
have in sight enough ore to make 100
tons Of vanadium concentrates and It
is undoubtedly the largest known body
OF vanadium in the world. 1t is very
strongly mineralized its entire length.
Up tp recently the highest per cent. Of
vunaiic-pentoxide obtained from van
adium has been about thirteen per
cent: however. vanadium from this
deposit has given returns OF from
twelve to eighteen per cent. vanadic
pentoXide. The properties are owned
by William Buchanan. J. II. Bigelow
and S. j. Macy. 1t is proposed to work
the mines on an extensive scale.--AL

HABEAS CORPUS
Is NOT HoNoRED BY MILITARY
General Bell and Captain Wstls Re.
fuse to Produes President Moyss
Before Judge Stevens and are Or
dsred to Be Arrested.


Denver, April IA Republican
special from Ouray last night says:
Judge Theron Stevens this moFntns
ordered that General Ball and Captain
Wells be arrested and placed In jail
in Ouray county and that bail Be -
fused; also that each be required 70
pay a fine Of $500 and costs.
This action was taken because ok
their alleged contempt OF court in fall
ing TO produce in court Charles II.
Meyer. president Of the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners. as commanded by
the writ OF habeas corpus Issued upon
the petition OF Meyer and made rS
turnable at Ouray to-day.
Attorney General Miller. Assistant
Attorney General Hersey and Deputy
District Attorney e. c. Howe OF 1ek
luride appeared for the respondents;'
General Bell and Captain Bulke!ey
Wells and Attorney f. F. Richardson
of Denver represented the petluoner.
Neither the respondents nor the Pc
t.uoner, Charles II. Meyer. were pres
ent Judge Stevens and the attorneys
entered the court house few min
utes after o'clock and at once pro.
ceeded to the business in hand, which
had attracted many spectators.
No sooner had court convened than
Attorney Howe made motion TO
ouash the return of service Of the writ
upon General Bell and Captain Wells.
which motion was oVerruled, Judge
Stevens giving it as his judgment that
there was no condition OF insurrection
or rebellion in San Miguel county and
that If such insurrection and rebellion
existed, it was by virtue OF the unlaW-
full and unconstitutional usurpaton OF
power on the part of Governor Pea
body and the military authorities.
The Judge then arraigned Governor
Peabody and the military. He refused
to permit the filing OF the return made
by General Bell and Captain Wells; Is.
sued an order of attachment for their
arrest, and assessed fine OF $oOo
against each, together with the costs
OF the action.
In his arraignment the judge ex-
pressed regrets that Governor Peabody
was not present in court, as he consid-
cred him equally guilty with General
Bell and Capt. Wells. The attorneys
explained to the judge that Meyer was
in the custody Of Governor Peabody, as
the commanding officer of the National
Guard, and that it was not safe for the
military authorities to bring President
Meyer before the court in person:
This raised the ire of the judge and
for a few moments the proceedings
were animated. The proceedings did
not occupy more than an hours time,
and when the decision was announced
it created no little excitement.
Sheriff Corbett probably will leave
tomorrow morning for Telluride to
serve the writ of attachment upon Cen
eral Bell and Captain Wells. With the
writ served it is the opinion of attor-
neys that the case will be taken out Of
Judge Stevens hands to the Supreme
Court.
Attorneys Miller and Hersey left
soon after the decision was given.
Judge Stevens went to Gunnison.
where he will open a term Of the Dis
trict Court tomorrow morning. Mr..
Miller went to Telluride and Mr.. Her
sey to Denver.

OdeIl and the delegates at large to the
national convention are directed to
Use al honorable means to secure the
nomination OF Theodore RoOseue}t
There was some discussion over the
fact that these directions" included
only the delegates at large, but Cover
nor Odell explained that in this way
since 1880. when we abandoned the
plan OF selecting the district delegates,
the state convention has not. and. in
deed. cannot, instruct the district dele,
gates. These delegates are. elected
and, if desired by their home conven
tons, are instructed. This direction

large to secure Mr.. RHOseveIrs nom
ination is the strongest way possible in
which the matter could be put"
When the convention was called to
order Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew was
introduced as temporary chairman.
The senator spoke n part as follows:
When Panama fulfilled the threat
known to all the world for months and
successfully accomplished her revolu-
ton, the President acted within his
constitutional privilege with the di-
reetness, courage and wisdom charac-
teristic of his whole public life"
The senator ridiculcd the speech of
Representative Cochran, who had at
tackled the President for following the
example of President Cleveland in fix
ing the age of total disability for veter-
ans Of the Civil war, by reducing the
age limit from seyenty-five years to
seventy years.
Representative Serene +. Payne was
made permanent chairman. His speech
was received with applause.
We meet on the threshold OF a ma
tional campaign. We point to things
done in the past seven years of Re,
=
THE establishment of the gold stan
dard.
THE enactment Of the Dfngley tariff
Antitrust legislation reinforced by
Congress and enforced in the courts.
The maintenance of just and liberal
pensions to deserving veterans. We
commend the recent order of the com
missioner Of pensions that advancing
age shall be regarded as presumptive
evidence of disability.
we have fought and won the Span
ish War. We have not shrunk from
the burdens of our victory. We have
given to Cuba stable government
and have left them. with all good
wishes, free to work out their own sal
walton.
We have established a good gov
ernment in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines; We are successfully lifting
them up to the plane Of a higher citi-
zenship We are educating their
children.
We have extended the rural free
delivery service until the farmers in
the thickly settled communities are
served with their letters and papers
promptly and at their own doors"

An Interesting Study.

Professor Hatfield of Northwestern
University is credited with advancing
and championing the idea Of adding
the study Of women's ways and
whims to the curriculum Of that insti-
tuition.
Who would not study womens ways;
Delightful as the lesson is;
What charming books Of sweet ro-
nance
Where letters blue or blackeyed
dance
And every page is but a glance
Wherein Loves own confession is.
Who would not study every whim
About a book so beautiful,
To learn the things that we have
missed,
The language taught by foot or
wrist,
Or temptig red lips duly kissed
BY lover simply dutlful-
Who would not study II he could
The worlds divinest mystery?
What man could ever learn just why
When he would laugh, that she
would cry,
Or she would smile when he would
slgh,-
Contrariest thing in history
How could he ever hope to learn
What all her moods and lenses are,
Unless. indeed, he tempted Fate
By asking her TO conjugate,
And read the scheme perhaps too late,
On learning what expenses are.
Sweet books of poesy and song
Rare tones Of contrarities
Whose sentences are but a look
That we must learn by hook or
crook,
And having learned them kiss the
book
Regardless OF varieties.
