orchards. The ranchers Of Lincoln
Park, always hositable, never appeared
more genial and agreeable to the writer
than they did last week and the At
tractiveness of the locality WAS en-
hanced by that fact. A half score Of
these suburban homes were visited and
everywhere there was evidence Of con-
tentment and prosperity, conditions
that assure material happiness. The
ranchmen were for the most part busy
in trimming their fruit trees and in
burning the accumulated trash and
dead vegetation Of last year, with the
view Of destroying the lurking places Of
the inseetiverou enemies which prey
upon the fruit during its season OF
growth and development.
The prospect for a generous crop OF
fruit next summer and autumn were
never more promising so far in advance
Of its harvest than it is at present, and
orchardists are encouraged in conse-
possibilities OF injury from the spring
frosts. With the careful attention and
cultivation which Lincoln Park fruit
growers bestow upon their orchards
and the safeguards they are able to
throw about them the probability OF
failure is reduced to a minimum.
In all communities where fruit is
grown on an extensive scale there are
conditions to be fulfilled to assure a
crop. The enemies of the blossom, as
well as of the tree that produces it,
have to be guarded against with
jealous care, otherwise there is no
golden harvest to be gathered. For
tunately science, and the skill attained
by centuries OF experience, is at the
command of the orchnrdist and he
utilizes it, greatly to his profit and
satisfaction.

Discuss Land Values.

Secretary OF State James Cowie,
Auditor OF Public Accounts John A.
Holmberg and X. X. Beese, secretary
of the State Board OF Equalization,
were here last Tuesday in consultation
with the county commissioners and the
county assessor in relation to the land
values and their assessment in this
county. The four mill tax on realty
for state purposes, which cannot be
exceeded under provision Of the
state constitution, is inadequate to
meet the expenses Of the state govern
ment under the present system OF
valuation and the board OF equalization,
OF which the above mentioned gentle
men are members, is endeavoring to
increase the assessed valuation in order
to meet the yearly deficit
The matter was thoroughly CANVASS
ed by Messrs. Cowie, Holmberg and
Leese Ia conjunction with the county
commissi oners and the assessor last
Tuesday, but no definite conclusion
was reached in regard to the matter,
as It is an extremely difficult one to
adjust. The visitors had no objection
to the assessment rate, but were of the
opinion that the valuation was not as
high as IL should be in order that Free
mont county might bear its propor-
tionate burden OF the state tax.
1t was shown by the assessor that
ranch lands in the vicinity Of Canon
City were assessed at from $75 to $500
an acre higher than the same character
of property is assessed In other portions
Of the state. Messrs Cowie, HoImberg
and Leese proceeded to the Western
slope from here where they will institute
similar inquiries TO those made here.

composed Of Gov. Peabody, Secretary

ments in the history of education is
exemplified in the case OF Miss Helen
Kellar, who graduated this week from
Radcliffe College, the women's annex
to Harvard University. This remark
able young woman was born in Ala
bama about twenty -foIr years ago. In
early infancy she lost both her sight
and hearing. Up to the time she was
eight years Of age she could not speak
hear nor see. Now this young woman
graduates from one of the leading wom-
ems colleges in the country, one That is
considered to be of the most exacting
in scholastic requirements. Her learn
ing has been something wonderful, fol-
she cannot only read in her own and
several other languages, but she can
speak flueutly and has made public ad.
dresses in behalf of the blind, though she
is waolly deaf. Her case is indeed a
most remarkable one and evidences ex,
traordinary natural abilities on her part
and great skill, patience and devotion
on the part of the teachers who have
instructed her.

THE FRENCH DRAMA.

According to the opinion of a writer
in one of the leading newspapers OF st
Petersburg as translated for the Literary
Digest, the French drama of today l.
utterly worthless so far as literary
moral or educational or artistic enlight.

has deteriorated from the plane whier
its former great masters had placed ii
and the contemporary DRAM of thai
country is meaningless commonplace
trivial, shallow.
