The government, having a monopoly of
the nitrate industry, permits but a

price may be maintained.

Tho late Maxwell Sommerville Of
the University Of Pennsylvania spent
nearly forty years OF his life in ORR
entail travel and study.
Prof. Sommerville used sometimes
to narrate the strange error that was
once made by French explorer he
had known.
This explorer had made journey
to Kairwan and had drawn a map of
the country he had passed through.
The singular thing about this map
was that the name "Maarifsh" ap-
peared so many times on 1t. A river
would be the "Maarlfsh River; a
mountain would be Mount Maarifsh";
village. lake, valley-each would
be called "Maarifsh.'
When Prof Sommerville saw the
map he laughed.
Don't you know he said to the
traveller. what 'maarifsh' means in
Arabic?"
No." said the other. What does
1t meant"

Fort Collins Festival.

Denver, Oct. IA Republican special
from Fort Collins last night says: To-
day was a gala day in Fort Collins. the
opening day of the annual harvest fes-
tival and race meet. The business
houses, banks, Offices and schools were
closed this afternoon.
Two heavily loaded special trains ar
rived between IL and IL O'Clock and
their loads were speedily transferred
to Prospect park. where an interesting
race program was presented. Shortly
before u O'Clock the Wild West parade.
led by the Fort Collins band. started
from the corner of College and Fourth
avenues. The procession was made up
of rough riders, both men and women,
cowboys and cowgirls, the old pioneer
stage coach, several OK teams drawing
covered wagons. loaded pack burros
and all the trappings of the Wild West
of former days.
An excellent race program for the
three days has been prepared. Between
each heat of the races exhibitions Of
rough riding. etc. will take place.
The State Agricultural College has
on exhibition in the park Yorkshire.
Tamworth and Berkshire hogs. Per-
sian sheep. Polled Angus and Short
horn cattle. The 5000 Worlds Fair
prize winning stallion, Franton, owned
by the Mclaughlin brothers Of Column
bus. Ohio, also is on exhibition and Is
attracting much attention among horse
men.

Uncle Sam Has Plenty.

Commenting upon the decline OF ag-
ricrlture in England. the Los Angeles
Times says that the character of the
crops is also changing. English wheat.
owing to its inferior quality, is not pop
ular, and its cultivation is declining.
Many farmers are abandoning wheat
growing entirely and are sowing their
land to barley or oats. the latter being
the favorite. The oats acreage in
Great Britain last year increased by
$4,000 acres. and oats now cover more
than one-fifth of the total arabic area
Of the country. 1t may be remarked
that If John Bull doesn't want to raise
any wheat at all We can show him
where he can buy the article. and If
he feels like retiring from farm life
entirely he can get barley for his beer
and oats for his horses at the same
place.

Rain Mars Grand junction Fair.

Denver. Oct. IA Grand Junction,
Colorado, dispatch last night. says:
The pleasure of those attending what
was to have been the big day of the
fair was marred by a rainstorn that
began shortly before noon to-day and
continued all afternoon and at times
through tonight, necessitating the
calling off of the race program and
confining the attractions to the ex-
hibits, which were housed.
To add to the discontinue of eight
car loads of visitors from Delta and
the upper valley, a washout on the
narrow gauge occurred this side of
Delta that will delay traffic over that
road until Saturday at least. The rain
was heavier in the high districts,
which caused the washing out of the
bridge. All the city officials of Delta
are here. and all are detained by the
food. The officials OF Glenwood
Springs were here but went home this
evening after examining the fruit dis
play, which is one Of the best ever
seen in the state.
