THE AMATEUR GARDENER.
An Illustrative Example of What He
Doss MOT Know About
0aPds nj ng.

One OF the recently married eou.
7 pies rented a house in the suburbs
and started TO housekeeping on their
own account, relates the Memphis
Scimitar.
They planted garden.
Recently the husband was looking
over the new vegetables as they were
bursting through the ground. and
with his wife was discussing the
appearance of the different plants
as they appeared above the ground,
most of which were new to them.
They came to the row of beans
which were just shooting their heads
into the air and marveled that the
seed should be thus thrust up. It
appeared to the husband that the or
der of their appearance was re-
versed.
He pondered the matter over and.
ter giving it due consideration,
ided that it would be a pity to
have the beans ruined through their
ignorance of the proper manner of
coming through the ground.
To save them this catastrophe, he
pulled them all up, and reset them
with the seed underneath, where he
thought a good seed should be.

In view of the marvellous efficiency

The greatest obstacle to deep min

in the mine varies one degree for

The Value Of q Man

A man passeth for that he is
worth. Very idle is all curiosity
concerning other peoples estimate
of us, and idle is all fear of re-
naming unknown. If a man knows
that he can do anything, that he
can do it better than any one else,
he has a pledge of the acknow-
ledement of that fact by all per-
sous. The world is full of Judge
ment days, and into every assemb-
ly that a man enters, in every
action that he attempts, he is gag
ued and stamped. In every troop
of boys that whoop and run in
each yard and square a newcomer
is accurately weighed in the bal
ance in the course of a few days,
stamped with his right number,
as if he had undergone a formal
trial of his strength speed and
temper. A stranger comes from a
distant school with better dress,
with trinkets in his pockets, with
airs and professions; an old boy
shifts thereat, and says to himself.
Its no use we shall find him out
tomorrow What hath he done?"
is the divine question which
searches men, and transpierces
every false reputation. A flop
may sit in any chair in the world
mol be distinguished for his hour
from Homer and Washington but
there can never be any doubt
concerning the respective ability
of human beings, when we seek
the truth. Pretension may sit
still but cannot act. Pretension
never wrote an Had, nor drove
back Xerxes, nor Ch~ristianized the
world, nor abolished slavery

THE WAR IN The EAST.
Disastrous Rout for the Russians -l55-
900 Russions reported killed. wound
ed and Taken Prisoners.

The press dispatches. from the
East are full of the most sanguine
battle of the war between Russia
and Japan which took place last
week, the Japs winning a signal
victory over the Russians, routing
and driving them out of Mukdan
with great loss. The Russians are
said to have lost 155, 900 men.
The loss of the japanese was also
very great, but nothing like that
of their opponents.
There is great CONSERVATION at
st. Petersburg. The Gar is now
anxious for peace. Kuropatkin is
to be recalled in disgrace for his
ignominious defeat. The rout of
the Russian army is being hard
pushed by the Japanese, who are
taking every advantage of the
demoralised condition of the
Russian army TO make their victory
as complete as possable. The
Russian army will undertake to
make another stand beyond Muk-
den, but it is not believed that
they will be able to stem the tide
of victorious japanese flushed
with success, who are pouring in
on them from every direction.
Large quantities of stores be-
longing to the Russian army, was
either destroyed or captured at
Mukden, and a large number of
canon were also captured by the
Japanese. The disaster is so crest
that it is now believed, in all
quarters, that the war will end
shortly and that the Japanese will
have gained all they fought for.

INVESTIGATE IRRIGATION
Jaunt Of Solons Who Never Saw Crops
Raised by Artificial
Rain.

A solid month of travelling
through the West has been ar
ranged by the house and senate
irrigation committees, who will
visit the various government irri-
CATION projects this summer. Two
carloads of senators and repre-
sentatives and their wives will
leave Chicago on June | over the
Rock Island and proceed to Ell
Paso, Texas. During the entire
month of June the party will trav.
ell over the West and visit every
government reclamation project
now under construction. The
route will lead up through Arizona
and out to California.
From there the party will re-
turn to Nevada and witness the
opening of the irrigation system
at Hazen on June II, the anniver-
sary of the passage of the arid
land reclamation act. Proceed
ing from Salt Lake City the COM
mittee will 90 to the North-w west,
and from there return to Wyom
ing, Colorado and the Gunnison
projects, which will be visited last.
The party will break up in Den
Yer early in July.
A strong effort is being made
by Chairman Mondell to have
many Eastern members and those
unacquainted with the wonderful
irrigation work of the west go on
the trip.

LIVE STOCK VALUATIONS .
Equalization Board Meets and Fixes Val
uatieu for 1905 Assessment Also
Output Of Coal Mines.

The state board of equalization
met today and fixed the valuation
of live stock for the purposes of
taxation in the state. The sched-
ule of last year as regards horses,
mules and asses was adopted for
this year. The following sched-
ules for cattle and sheep were
agreed upon:
Bulls and pure beed cattle of all
ages, $40 each.
Dairy cattle $25.
Range cattle, yearIings or over.
$3.50.
Range calves, coming yearlinss,
IS.
Bucks of all ages, So.
Pure bred sheep 81.
High grade sheep, yearlings in
Guided, 1925.
Range sheep and lambs coming
yearlings, 81
The board also fixed the valua-
ton of the output of the coal
mines of the state for the purpose
of taxation for this year. making a
total valuation of 81, 043,225.75 an
increase, according to the state
ment of q member of the board, of
something like 100000 over last
year. This increase will more
than double the cost of inspecting
the mines and collecting the tax.
making a very satisfactory net
revenue to the state from this
source. Last year the tax collec-
ton from the output of the mines
did not pay the cost of the inspec-
ton and collection.
The valuation of horses, mules
and asses last year, according to
the biennial report of State Aud
itor Grant, was as follows:
Pure bred and thoroughbred
stations 5000.
Pure bred mares and grade stall
lions, 800.
Carriage horses, driving, high
grade mares and heavy draft hors-
es, $75.
Common unbroken horses and
mares, $l2.

ing purposes, $3.50.

Champion : PrizeWinner
Ofthe World on Exhi-
bition Here
WILL ORGANIZE STOCK co,
Among Ranchmen CT the Valley to Pur-
chase Stallion fer Breeding
Purposes

Torrent, No 1881, Champion
French Coach stallion. owned by
Mclaughlin Bros, of Columbus,
St. Paul, and Kansas City, is now
on a sojourn in this city, and is the
center of attraction at present. He
is under the care of +. A. Masters
who with Robert Greig of Raw
Inns, is looking over the field with
a view of forming a stock compa-
ny among the ranchmen of the
valley to purchase the horse for
breeding purposes.
Torrent is winner of the Spohr
trophy and Championship at the
Chicago Horse show, 1902; first
prize at the Kansas City horse
show, 'O2: Champion and grand
Championship prize at the Chic
ago International Live Stock show
in O3; and the Championship and
grand championship prize at the
st. Louis Exposition in Oh, be-
sides other championships aud
prizes too numerous to mention.
That he is the prettiest piece of
horse flesh ever see in the coun-
try is conceded by all. A deep
mahogany bay, weighing 1850
pounds, perfect in every detail
from top of his head, to his feet,
Intelligent as a person, and as
proud of the blood in his veins as
a decendent of royalty could well
be, he is certainly entitled to be
called the champion French Coach
horse of the world.
Torrent is seven years old, and
bread by NJ. Lallouet, one of the
most noted horse breeders in
France. He is a perfe ct specimen
of the result of years OF careful
breeding to produce a perfect
Coach, and some of the oldest and
purest blood of France flows in
bis veins.
The terms upon which Mr.. Mas
tiers offers Torrent are exception
ally reasonable. Mclaughlin
Bros. absolutely guarantee the
horse for two years, and in case
he should die within that time he
will be replaced. Five years time
to pay for the horse, and covered
by every guarantee possible, the
ranchmen are insured against any
possible defect or loss. One of
the needs of the west is IA purer
bred class of horses and with the
infusion of such blood as Tor
rents into the horses of the vail
ey the grade will be raised 100 per
cent in a few years, more than
doubling the value of the stock.
Torrent Is not only Il prize-win-
ner at horse shows, but is also a
trotter, having a record of two
miles in 5.OS4, and has won two
races one in France, and one in
this country.
The horse is quartered at ID. 5.
Richmond's livery stable in this
city, and Mr.. Masters considers it
a pleasure to exhibit him to any
one, whether a prospective buyer
or not.

Connections With Den

Possibility.
the NORTH PARK COUNTRY
Wonderfully Rich Country Which Would
be Opened up by a North and
South Read.

Saratoga people have long de-
sired railroad communication with
the outside world, but year after
year passes and the coveted road
is still "to be-"
Efforts have been made by GER
tain of our citizens to call the at
tention of Denver to the resources
of this valley, both mineral and
vegetable, with the result that, af-
ter years of work in this line by
j. b. Hassett, w. H. Greene, j. f.
Crawford, and other citizens of the
valley, it now looks very much as
though something is going to be
accomplished.
Aside from the vast mineral de-
posts that lie in the mountains
on either side of the valley, and
it's other great in the
way of stock raising and agricul-
ture, the railroad project IN view
will be very materially fastened
by the vast natural in
North Park, Immediately south of
this valley.
The inhabitants of that region
made an heroic effort to have the
North Park country erected into
a separate county during the pres
ent session of the Colorado legis-
%lature, but failed. The showing
they made was a fine one, and
while it failed to get them the COW
eted separation as an independent
county, it may materially help
both them and us to get railroad
communication with Denver with
in the next twelve months.
The North park country ischief-
ly noted for it's stock raising facil-
tiles. Fully thirty thousand head
of stock are pastured in that great
natural pasture field. Ten thous-
and head of cattle are annually
sent to market from hat locality.
From fifty to sixty thousand tons
of hay are harvested there annual
ly. 1t has over so citizens whose
tax roll is yer 500 per year, 1t
contains many natural curiosities
within it's limits, and has immense
coal deposits, some of the veins of
which are over 60 feet in thick
ness. 1t contains natural soda
water springs, iron springs and
magnesia springs. 1t has over an
hundred trout streams, all converg-
ing into the North Platte river.
1t has immense beds of mineral,
such as natural asphaltum, mag
nesia, fire clay, and the ranges of
mountains that hem it in on every
side are full of copper, gold, silver,
iron and coal.
In the course of time the North
Park will be a vast amphitheatre
of industry. 1t will also be a
great summer pleasure resort
