ance of Grant. We have seen him
in some severe conflicts. We have
seen him contend with the young
lawyer and the sage at the bar, but he
never was out classed and was ever
ready to meet every point sprung on
him with an ease Cf mind and pre-
cision OF thought remarkable indeed.
We have seen him called to the stage
or platform for an impromptu speech
and he never disappointed his friends.
His language was always beautiful
and the sentiment frequently sublime.
But it is at home, free from Office
cares, surrounded by the prattling
voices of his six children that McLean
shines the best and displays those
traits of character that heaven has
crowned as one Of life's most tender
and precious jewels. He is devoted to
them and with them he is the simple
man, the indulgent father and loving
companion. He possesses pre-emi-
nently the qualifications that equip
man for public service, and we believe
he would make an ideal chief execu-
tive for the State--One that would
guard her every interest and would
give her an unusual prominence in the
SiSterhOOd of states. His name has
several times before been connected
with gubernational hOnors. About
eight years ago there was quite de-
lnand for him to enter the race for
governor, but he declined in letter
that was published in the Memphis
and New Orleans papers, as well as a
number of the state papers, which put
the politicians throughout the state
to serious thinking. He has seemed
to think with Bob Taylor, that the
honest man who becomes candidate
for office finds his pathway strewn
with many things besides roses. Ma
ture has not endowed him with the
insiduous arts which many of our lat
ter day politicians treasure as an
adornment: but should he enter the
race, he would appeal to that which is
noble and true in the people and
would show himself worthy Of their
confidence and esteem. AS a stump
speaker, he would captivate and en-
tertain. and those who asSailed him
woHld find that he was fortified by
eloquence, great learning and convic-
tions almost mirrored in the stars.

ton of w. c. Mclean for governor.

TeIegraphy on Engines.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The experiments
made with wireless Biography on en-
gines running over the tracks of the
Chicago & Alton railroad has proved
SO successful that the management Of
the road has taken steps to equip all
the engines Of the company with the
apparatus. Under the new system
adopted each engine carrying its own
wireless signal apparatus constitutes
the center of a movable block travel
ing with the train. Near the engineer
in the cab is an indicator which keeps
him informed of the conditions within
the blocks where he is the center. If
a train approaches within two miles
to the rear green light shows on the
indicator and a warning bell calls the
attention of the engineer. II the train
is to the front red light flashes and
a bell rings.
The signals are reciprocal and the
engineers on both trains receive them
at the same instant.

Coarse Grass for Coverings.

On many of our Colorado ranches is
to be found a coarse slough grass that
grows in wet places which is valuable
as a cover for several kinds of for
age that will not shed rain when put
up. In an early day this grass was not
of much value, as cattle would not eat
it unless compelled by hunger and then
they did not thrive upon it. This grass
is especially valuable for topping out
stocks of alfalfa or native hay. 1t
makes the best covering when it is put
on as fast as 1t comes from the mower.
Then it is heavy and settles down
firmly on the stacks, and If it is Tapped
over on the sides it will keep the hay
perfectly. II tame hay is put up in
this way and weighted with wire and
some heavy substance, but small loss
will result from the elements. 1t will
pay to top out all tame hay stacks and
stacks Of loose grain with this slough
hay. Oat straw stacked early is apt
to be badly damaged. but a cover Of
slough hay will keep it. Slough hay
also makes the best Of covering for
temporary sheds. The sheds may have
covering Of strawy to make bulk and
then finished with the green slough
grass.-Field and Farm.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.-Rus-
sia's reply to the Japanese terms of
peace will be delivered by NJ. Witte
to Baron Komura to-day. The reply Is
written, there being two texts-one in
French, the other in Euglish
Upon the two crucial points, in

of Saghalin, the reply is an absolute

Other points are accepted as bases
for discussion. while still others are
accepted conditionally.
The reply is rather long, because in
enumerating the conditions on which
discussion is admitted, and those on
which consideration is declined, rea-
sons and arguments are given.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries are
expected to ask for an immediate ad.
journment to examine and compare
this reply.
NJ. Witte will probably Intimate that
the Russian plenipotentiaries expect
the Japanese to display as much expe'
dition as they (the Ruseians) have
shown in the preparation of their re-

more free from scab when shorn twice

Cattle Mango Disappearing.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 15.-Dr. Charles
G. Lamb, state veterinarian, returned
yesterday from an extended trip in the
eastern part of the state, where he
has been investigating mango among
the cattle. Ne found several punches
that were affected and some reported
affected that are really all right.
DR.. Lamb reports less mango at the
present time among Colorado cattle
than for many years past. This is ow.
ing to the new law which gives the
board of stock inspection authority to
dip cattle and charge the cost to the
owners where they are negligent about
acting. The laws are more stringent
In other ways also, SO that the disease

the FARM AND RANGE
Farming on One Acre.

Can . man make living from one
acre Of land? This question has arisen
as q result of the determination e.
pressed by Anthony p. Canny Of Potts-
Vile, Pennsylvania, who announces hto
intentions OF purchasing one acre OF
land At Vineland for the purpose OF
testing his belief that this small tract
will support him and his wife and
young boy. Mr.. Canny recently came
to Colorado for his health. He IL q
man Of small means and had but little
money to invest in land. His physi-
clans In the East warned him against
attempting to do manual labor and ad.
vised him to purchase just as little
laad a. he could possibly produce .
living from, in order to minimize his
work until the outdoor life and invig-
Grating climate gave him strength to
work bigger farm.
Mr.. Canny is a resourceful man and
he determined that what had been
done In California can be done in Colo
RADIO.
True. his farm will not produce
everything raised on the California
model farm. but he argues that he will
be able to raise products that would be
impossible in California.
In his eastern home Mr.. Canny had
= garden that was pointed out as =
model. He expeimented with vegeta-
bles and flowers, and although he had
nothing but the back yard Of a 14Ox
60-foot lot he produced sufficient vege-
tables to supply his table, with a good
quantity left for sale. 1t was this ex-
perience that led him to believe that
v1y}f hA
foot OF an acre and make living for
his family while nursing himself back
to health.
Mr.. Canny has purchased some rare
seeds and cuttings for experimental
purposes. He will set aside a small
portion Of the garden upon which to
experiment. and he will endeavor to
prove that Colorados fertile soil is
capable of even greater results In the
production of horticultural specimens.
He will experiment largely with valua-
BILE plants and flowers rather than
with vegetables, as it is from the rarer
specimens of plant life that he ex-
poets to derive his profits from the al
most toy-like farm. relying upon the
vegetables to supply his table with the
necessities.
The results of Mr.. Canny's Robinson
Crusoe experiment will be watched
with interest. Many say he is fore
doomed to failure, as they point out
that many large farms barely provide
living for their tenants. But Mr..
Canny valves these objections aside
with the assertion that their larger
farms do not pay because they do not
work Systematically, owing to size. He
expresses confidence in his ability to
duplicate the performance Of the Cali
fornian. Clerk, and he promises to add
his one-acre farm in Vineland to the
famed spots in Colorado.-Pueble
