Fishermen Must Keep OF
of All Private Grounds

A dispatch from Denver June 9TH
says: 1.-THE supreme court of the
state of Colorado announced this
morning that fishermen must keep off
private grounds in their pursuit of
pleasure with the rod and line. Even
though the fish in the stream is in
fenced land and belonging to the
state and have been put there by
state officials from state hatcheries,
yet if the owner of the fence says to
keep out the fishermen must do so.
1.-The decision was given in the case
of A. Hartman against George Tre-
sise, both from Gunnison county.
Hartman sued for damages. The
district court Of Gunnison county said
Tresise had ii right to break in to fish.
The supreme court says not"

The year 1904 did not witness the
erection of many public or private
buildings in Meeker. Most of our
citizens seem to be putting of build
ing enterprises, both for residential
and business purposes, until actually
forced by necessity to build. How
ever, the building that has been done
is of a very substantial character and
a credit alike to the builders and the
town.
The most important building enter
prise of last year WAS the erection of
the two wings to the Meeker hotel,
work on the interior Of which has
just been completed by the install
lation OF elegant new furnishings
throughout both the new and old
wings.
When tho main, or central part, Of
the hotel was ersetsd = fewsyesFs ago,
It was thought It would meet all de-
mands for several years to come, but
it did not. The business soon out
grew its capacity, and for the past
two years Landlord Ball has found
himself very much lacking In room
to take care of his constantly grow
ing patronage. Hence, early last
spring he had plans drawn for two
wings to the hotel, and no time was
lost in getting the work under way.
The services Of Contracting Car
penter 1. G. Mitchell, who designed
and built the main part Of the hotel,
were secured and early in the sum-
mer the east wing was under way.
This wing sets flush with the side
walk line and has frontage Of 85

Down With Public Stealing.

A Philadelphia dispatch of June l,
says:
Mayor John Weaver, with SOUND
of police behind him, sat in the ante
room this afternoon and, with smile
of infinite qualification, saw the cOun-
cilmen, who two weeks ago had ig-
norcd and derided him, tremble at
his nod and kneel at his commands.
"Hooting, jeering crowds filled the
galleries. The councilmen did their
new masters bidding as servilely as
n pack of whipped ours.
Zone by one they took up the ordi-
nances they had passed over the
mayors veto two weeks ago, and one
by one they repealed them.
",rhey recalled the gns lease and
sent it to the committee to die.
"Humiliation after humiliation was
heaped upon them. They were
forced to sustain the mayors. veto on
the three great grnft-laden boulevards
and the costly Cobb's Creek park
project. They We're forced to decide
to adjourn on June 10, and, finally,
they were compelled to fix the tax
rate for 1907 ut the same rate as it
now is, $50. This was bitter blow,
for the raising of the tax rate was to
be the club which was to knock the
mayor from his new throne.
"All the while this most remarka-
BILE political scene was going on the
mayor sat smiling in the ante-room.
The galleries laughed and shouted
and over in the Betz building Israel
Durham sat alone-a king dethronetl.
1.-Two weeks ago the mayor con-
trolled only thirteen of all the l29
cOuncilmen. Every man today bowed
down before him."

BUSY BEES AND THRIFTY HENS

On the farm most experiences with poultry are successful.
 Give the poultry the run of the or chard occasionally They will pick up much fruit that would otherwise be wasted
 Get a table of foods and study the proportions. and then balance them up a little. Glover. bran.. green bone and meat are good to balance against corn.
 When comb foundation is left ove- until another season. you can make 1t just as good as new made. simply by exposing the sheets to the sun for a few minutes.
 Burnt sugar has long been consid- cred poison for bees if used in winter as food. Like some other things. as honey dew. it is all right If bees are flying daily.
 An egg is composed of a certain per cent of albumen. of mineral matter. water and other materials. Tn order that an egg be formed these necessary constituents must be supplied.
 To get good winter layers. you must prepare year in advance. The lay CTS must be matched from eggs laid by good stock. and they must be matched right and raised right.
 A good way to keep moths from entering a hive is to mix a little to- bacco and salt and put between the cracks where hive fits to bottom. This will keep them away, and will not harm the bees.
 Do not allow rubbish of any kind to collect in the poultry yard or runs. A pile of rubbish is simply a breed ing place for vermin and diseass germs Where litter Is used in the yard it should be changed at least once a week.
