DEATH OF MRS. MEEkER.

The death of Mrs. Arvilla D.
Meeker removes another of the heroic
figures from the ranks Of the Colo
RADIO pioneers. Few among those
whose efforts in the far away past
contributed to laying broad and deep
the foundations Of great state were
called upon to do it at so great cost
in personal suffering and sacrifice.
The story of the Meeker massacre is
one of the darkest pictures in the
history of Colorado, and the circum-
stances connected with it are familiar
to the school children of the state.
1t is scarcely possible for those of
the present generation to conceive of
the possibility of this young wife
and mother, refined and educated
and unaccustomed to any of the
hardships incident to the life of a
pioneer, passing through the grief
and suffering which she was compel
led to undergo and retaining her rea-
son. That she did and lived to the
ripe old age of 80 years affords addi-
tional proof of the fact that none of
us may say there is the point beyond
which we could not endure. The
promise that my strength shall be
sufficient for thee'' was verified to
her throughout her heightened years.

HINT TO BOOSTERS
Example of What Systematic
Advertising Will do

Bulletin number los of the Colo
RADIO State Commercial association
was received last Saturday by men,
bers of the association. The bulle-
tin contains the names and addresses
of over 600 families from Nebraska
and Indiana, who are open for the
purchase of Colorado farm property.
This is as direct result of a
small travelling exhibit of fam pro-
ducts that the association has been
showing at the different county fairs
in the states east of here. The eX-
pense of this exhibit has been re-
markably small, and will not amount
to more than about 81 for each fam
lily that may come here to locate.
So far only about LOCO have been
spent in keeping the exhibit on the
road, and something like l,4oo fami-
lies have expressed their determina-
tion to come to the state, as direct
result of what they have seen.
When it is considered that North
Dakota, for instance, is spending
So, 600 on her travelling exhibit this
year, as against our 800. the interest
taken in Colorado is all the more re-
markable. This s5, 900 is part of a
800, 900 annual appropriation made
by the North Dakota legislature to
advertise that state, and the North
Dakota commissioner Of agriculture
tells us that he considers the money
spent on the travelling exhibit worth
more to the state than the other
SIS. 200.

could easily afford to keep farm ex-
hibit on the road another year, and
thus turn the tide of immigration in
this direction. II something of this
kind is not done rival cities in
northern Colorado will beat us to it,
and then?

READY TO IRRIGATE
Kansas at Last Taking Practical
Steps

Word comes from Washington
that the secretary of the interior
has approved plans for the Garden
City irrigation project in Kansas
and as soon as the Water Users as
sociatiou secures the necessary pied
ueS of land. the work of construction
will begin. This project contem-
mates the recovery of ground water
in the Arkansas valley by means OF
pumping and its distribution over
about 10, 600 acres by the use OF an
existing canal known as the Farmers
ditch.
The annual rainfall in this part of
the Arkansas valley is about 20
inches, the larger part OF which falls
during the summer. This portion
of the high plains is peculiar IN
that there is an almost complete alb
sence of run OFT, practically all the
rainfall sinking into the ground.
Indications are most encouraging
that this project will be under way
in short time.
The value of land in this part of
Kansas in its natural condition Is
from 50 to SO per acre. When re-
claimed by irrigation it is easily
worth from 500 to $50 per acre.
The principal crops suitable for these
lands are sugar beets and alfalfa,
considerable quantities of which are
already under cultivation. Beet
sugar factories are already located at
Holly and Rocky Ford, Colo, within
easy shipping distances from Garden
City.
Western Kansas appears to have
inexhaustible quantities of under
ground water at no great depth. and
successful initiation of the govern
ment pumping system will undoubt-
edly encourage private capital to
take up the work in other sections.
The Farmers ditch, which has been
serving water to these lands, carried
an uncertain supply on account of
the unreliability of flow of the Ar
kansas river. 1t is believed that
the pumping system proposed will
not only provide sufficient quantity
of water for lands now irrigated, but
will make possible considerable in
crease in the irrigable acreage.

Some Seasonable Advice.

1t may be piece of superfluous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in supply OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
is almost sure to be needed before
winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a
cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system which
can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is SO
widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about
buying it in preference to any other.
1t Is for sale by all druggists.

GOING SAME OLD WAY.

The executive committee of the
State Good Roads association met in
Denver last Saturday and decided to
push legislation for the betterment
of country roads. The state associa-
tion is made up of local county asso-
Citations. Weld county, while not
represented on the executive commit
tee, is a member of the association
formed last summer and as such
should be interested in whatever
pertains to road Improvement.
The local committee should sit up
and take notice OF what is going on in
the state association. Both the city
and county have contributed to the
good roads convention fund, and
hardly word has been heard of the
matter since. Money might as we'll
be thrown to tn birds as to contri-
butte to the start of thing and then
drop it. Unless some active interest
be taken by the local committee,
, whatever work is done will be for
the benefit of the country imme.
diately about Denver and Colorado
Springs. Which reminds one of a
few of things that Greeley and Weld
county have been asked to contribute
to, and in which the only share they
have been given was the happiness
of donating. This community has
contributed to nearly every scheme
for advertising the state. Illustrated
lectures and copious advertising fold
ers have been sent out, toward

Disastrous Fire.

Fire broke out Saturday morning
about O'Clock on the T. w. Ray
borne ranch, two and one-half miles
northwest Of Greeley, occupied by
Perry Murray, destroying about Is
or 70 tons of hay; also all machinery
and carriages and wagons to the
value of $1,000.
By the hard labor of about forty
men and plenty of water and wind
in the right direction they saved
the barn and granery. AS none of
the family were on the premises at
the time the theory is that some
one OF the spud pickers carelessly
threw match or cigarette stub in
the hay or nearby.
The fire was first discovered by
Robinson Brothers. nearby on the
Leaver Bros. ranch, but before they
could get there it had spread over
three large ricks of hay. The fire
started in the northwest corner of
one rick. Damages are estimated at
81. 500 with $500 insurance.

SMOKE CASES BEFORE COURT.
Apartment House Proprietor Fined $50
Another Case Continued.

T. Franklin Schneider, owner of the
Cairo apartment house, which is located on
Q street northwest between 10th and 18th
streets, was before Judge Scott In the
Police Court this morning on a charge Of
violation of the law for the prevention of
smoke in the District of Columbia. When
asked to plead to the charge Mr. Schneider
stated that he would enter a plea of guilty,
but that he knew very little of the charge.
Inspector Wollard of the health depart
ment was then called to the witness stand
and testified that he had the smokestack
of the apartment house, which is owned by
Mr.. Schneider, under observation the 9th
day of February, from 500 to eos pm,
and that during that time there were sew
eral emissions of smoke in violation of law.
Mr.. Schneider told the court that he had
done all he possibly could do to prevent
the emission of smoke from the stack by
installing new boilers and various other
means. He stated that the best pre-
ventive he had tried was to give his fire.
man a bonus every month that the viola
ton of the law was not reported.
Judge Scott inquired If this was the
first time Mr.. Schneider had appeared in
court upon charge of this kind and the
reply was that 1t was the first time since
the new apparatus had been Installed in
the building to prevent the emission Of
smoke from the stack
The court stated that the fine would be
$50, adding that new law appears to have
been defeated in Congress, and that the
fines will, therefore, be imposed under the
present laws
When the case against Corcoran Thorn,
owner of the Corcoran building, was called
Mr.. Thorn failed to answer, and the $40
collateral which he had posted was de-
clared to be forfeited.
Assistant Corporation Counsel James L..
Pugh jr., informed Judge Scott that he
would not ask for an attachment in the
case, as Mr.. Thorn informed him that in
case his presence was desired in court he
would, upon notification, appear without
| other action being taken.
| Mr.. Thorn was later notified by Mr.. Pugh
| to appear and will probably answer when

TUGBoATS NEEDED.
Norfolk and Washington Boat Could
Help Break Ice

Commissioner MaCfarland this morning,
after a conference with Harbormaster SUIT
ton announced that he does not believe it
will be advisable to dispense with the dy-
Mantle and tugboats and use only the Nor
folk steamers for breaking up the ice in the
Potomac river when the thaw comes, as
suggested to Commissioner mcfarland by
Mr.. VIM. V Cox. president of the Board of
Trade
After discussing the proposition with
Harbormaster Sutton today Mr.. MaCfar-
land said the District will be glad to have
the assistance of one of the steamers of the
Norfolk Steamboat Company in breaking
I'D the ice in the river between the wharf of
the company and the Long bridge, but he
believes the tugboats and dynamite must be
depended upon for the most part TO clear
the river of ice.
Harbormaster Sutton said the officials of
the steamboat company wanted 500 day
for the use of the Newport News steamer
in breaking the ice. This boat, ne SAID
could not get about the Aqueduct BRIDGE
and he did not believe ii would be able
to ease the blocks of Ice through the piers
of the highway bridge. the railway and
Long bridges. Both Mr.. Sutton and Com
missioner mcfarland considered that they
could not afford to pay $500 day for the
use of the steamer. but the Commissioner
consented to the suggestion of Harbor-
master Sutton that the steamboat company
be 0nered $500 q day Tor three Gays Ior
the service of the Newport News In break
ing the ice
Mr.. Sutton declared the tugboats will be
needed not only to break the mass Of Ice,
but also to ease the cakes down the cham
mel and through the piers of the bridges.
The large steamer, he said, cannot get onto
the flats, and the tugs will be needed for
this work. In the event the steamboat
company accepts the Districts proposition
of $3.50 day for three days, for its serv-
ices In breaking the ice, one of the large
steamers will be added to Harbormaster
Sutton's ice-breaking fleet when the time
comes.

1t is a splendid schedule for the Wash
ingtons.

play in New York July 4.
Keep on sending in your suggestions for
a new name for the Washington club. The
contest won't close until March 1.
The New York club entertained the
American League magnates at big dinner
last night and they will be slow getting out
of Gotham today.
George Washington University boys be-
lieve they will be able to get together a
team this season that will make 1t very In
teresting for the Blue and Gray.
If the Sunday School League leaders are
wise they will keep the organization down
to eight clubs and corrall the best amateur
players in the city. The start-off with six
teen clubs might be all right, but in six
weeks there would be nothing to it but
stragglers.
Worlds championship games are now as
Sured every fall.
Umpires Bausewne and Connolly will Of
ficiate in the spring series between the
Phillies and Athletics.
The magnates will soon have to take back
seats, and give the stage to the players
the popular idols.
AS yet only three Boston National play
ers have been signed for next season. All
are newcomers.
Whitley, the pitcher secured by the New
York Americans, is a protege of Amos
Rusie. 1t is hoped that Amos did not teach
him everything he knows.
Willie Keller has new bat 1t is called

inches long and shaped just right for in
field hitterS. Keller thinks well of the new
style club.
The man who gains an appointment as a
league umpire is now mentioned as having
a record for fairness and fearlessness."
Billy Mailman has been secured by In
dianapolis in a trade with Kansas City,
Donohue, recently handed over to the
Hoosiers by Philadelphia, figuring at the
other end of the deal. Mailman will captain
the Hoosiers.
The members of last seasons team still
in Princeton are Captain Wells second
base; Cooney, catcher; Reid, third base,
and Bryan, pitcher. With these four men
for a nucleus, supplemented by the mate
rial of varsity form ON the Nassau nine and
the freshmen team, Coach A. r. I. lille
brand will attempt to develop nine tina;
will do credit to Princeton, but from the

SERGIUS' CAREER.
First Royal Victim of Assassination Of
New Century

Grand Duke Sergius. the first royal
victim of an assassination of the new CEN
fury. afforded interesting character
study. Like his martyred father, the
Gar Alexander II, he was born out of
his generation. But while the sagacious
and lenient Alexander was born in ad-
vance of his century, Sergius was born
fully four centuries too late. The red
medieval times, when the DEGREES of
royalty were unquestonable those
of the mighty, when the stake and the
wild horses made short work of heretics
and the dungeon was the extinguisher of
free thought, would have suited him.
Born at Tsarkoe-Selo April %, 1857. the
accident which made him the third instead
of the first son of Alexander ii may have
saved Russia from having n reincarnation
of his dread ancestor, Ivan the Terrible,
on the throne, for Sergius showed many OF
that tyrant's characteristics. As 1t is, hia

COLUMBIA CANOE CLUB.
New Organization to Be Comfortably
Housed on Upper Potomac.

The long anticipated organization Of
boat club on the upper Potomac has at last
been successfully launched and all plans
completed. At a large meeting OF canoeing
enthusiasts on the evening of January 80
the organization hereafter to be known as
the Columbia Canoe Club was brought
about and ushered into the world of boat
ing with all the honor BETTING the health
full, honest and pleasure-giving sport 1t Is.
1t is a well-known fact that in the last
few years canoeing on the Potomac has
grown from a small, weak object of charity
and doubt to such an extent that today 1t
has become a factor In pleasure boating,
entirely safe and comfortable, the close of
last season showing a fleet of between $50
and 40O canoes on the Potomac, which
means that in Washington there are some
500 people deeply interested In the sport.
In many cases two parties own canoe be-
tween them and share its pleasures with
many friends.
The Columbia Canoe Club has secured
lease of a house and grounds at point
well known to all lovers of the river as be-
ing without doubt its most available and
beautiful spot, a short distance above the
Auueduct bridge, on the Virginia shore, we'll
above the sewerage OF the city, above any
possible danger from large vessels plying
between the bay ana hnt b .He no ,Sa
least. at the very beginning OF. the most
beautiful stretch of water and scenery to
be found near Washington.
With the knowledge that the Washington
and Great Falls electric line will be COM
nleted within short time and that cars
will he run from the city across the Aque-
duct bridge, city schedule, to the terminus
of the line, which will be located within a
four-minute walk of the new boathouse. the
question of location and comfort is solved
In a most satisfactory way.
The Columbia Canoe Club has for it's spon-
sors men we'll known to many as canoeists
of long experience and leaders in aquatic
matters of the Potomac, who have pledged
themselves to the furthering of this decid-
edly advantageous movement with all that
experience, time, money. good fellowship
and love of the sport can do, and 1t is safe
to saw that within a short time the organi-
zation will be second to none on the river.
The new organization will in no way con-
fict with the other boating clubs on the
river inasmuch as many of its charter
members are also members of other we'll
known clubs, so the iatchstring will always
be out and the hand of good fellowship ex-
tended Thus does the &C. c. c." launch
upon the waters of5iife and make its bid for
prosperity with asgood wishes of every
lover of river s!oirS.
