Japanese Tea.

Last Friday night at the home Of
Judge Croxton. St. Luke's Guild gave
q japanese tea. Theh house was prettily
daqerated IN the Apanese eolors. the
hag Of the country being used with
fans. lanterns and Japanese umbrellas.
As one went in from outside the
house looked like fairyland. Among
the decorations was an old picture of a
Japanese village, which was done in
mother of pearl. kindly loaned by Mrs.
w. r. Travis.
The ladies' of the guild were dressed
in kimonas and looked quite Japanesey.
The men of the church also wore the
national dress. Percival Coombe i'm
pcrsonating the Mikado. The program
was also Japanese, the national air
being played by Miss Croxton, Fight
ing For Old Japan" sung by Welland
Jeffcrs carried the house by storm and
two other songs by little Japgirls were
cordially received. Dreams" by Miss
Schwabe of st. Louis was charmingly
rendered. The trio Sweet Ping-e-
Wang" by Mr.. Arthur, Mr.. Remington
and Welland Jeffers was very fine, they
being the stars of the evening. The
program closed with song by Mrs.
Lola Croxton Carr 90 Heart of Mine"

Roy Woodgate was door-keeper and
kept everyone in gale of laughter by
his witty remarks. One hundred and

Japan"

A. |. FELLOWS RESIGNS.
After Pushing the Gunnison Tun.
mel to Where Its Completion.
Is Certain.

Hon. A. L. Fellows, district engineer
for the United States reclamation SER
vice in Colorado has resigned to take a
position as engineer in North Dakota.
It is said that his resignation is to take
effect at once and that 4 disagreement
with superion in regard to canals and
other work connected with the Gunni-
son tunnel proposition is directly re-
sponsible for his resignation.
There is no one tlat has done 30
much toward pushing the Uncompahgre
reclamation progect than Mr.. Fellows.
From the very first he took great in
terest in the project and his position
gave him an opportunity to at all times
place matters before the head authori-
ties in the very best manner to get the
desired results. 1t is not likely that
his resignation at this time will in any
way effect the proposition as matters
have reached stage where all the pre-
liminary matters have been settled and
the contracts let. However. there is
no doubt but that Mr.. Fellows did much
toward bringing matters to where they
now stand and that too at a date much
earlier than would have ordinarily been
the case.

MAY SEAT MCDONALD.
The Supreme Court Has Been
Asked if Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Can be Legally
Seated.

The late reports from Denver would
Indicate that stage has been reached
in the gubernatorial contest which may
result in the legislature refusing to seat
either Adams or Peabody. In fact the
legislature has asked the supreme court
to pass on the matter and determine
whether or not Lieutenant-G Governor
Mcdonald can be legally seated as
governor. This puts new phase on
matters and when first spoken of the idea
was entertained by only few Of the
legislators. Just how lang this will de-
fer the contest IL not fnswn, but it is
thought that IN a case of this kind the
court would make an extraordinary
effort to hand down decision at the
earliest possible moment.
The first vote that could be taken as
any test came Wednesday morning and
resulted in q vote of so to42. The vote
was over the admission to the assembly
of the Alexander report. This report
favors the seating of Mcdonald. Lieu
tenant Governor Mcdonald refused to
allow the report to be received An
appeal was taken from his decision.
The vote cameup on the question. "Shall
the decision of the chair be sustained!''
and resulted to not sustain the chair a.
follows:
Ayes. 81.
Nays. a.
Grand total, 81.
1t is the general opinion today that
the contest now is between Lieutenant
Governor Jesse Mcdonald and Governor
Adans- However. Il MeDoaald eannot
get the necessary votes part of his sup
port will revert back to Peabody.
Something may happen at any time
that will terminate the contest and it
may not be decided for several days
yet. 1t has been stated that both
Adams and Peabody have signified
willingness to resign if the legislature
will decide in their favor.

WANT BETTER RATES.
h0rticultufistS to Ask for Lower
Rates on Fruit.

At meeting of Delegates of Pro.
duce growers, held in Denver on March
1st, called at the instigation of the
State Horticultural Society in move
ment to secure lower freight and ex-
press rates, it was unanimously agreed
to apprise every Produce Shipping AS
sociation, and as many Fruit and veg
etable Growers as possible, that the
Railroad and Express Companies had
expressed themselves willing to meet
with the committee from representa-
tive body of such Associations and
Growers, at which time it would be ex-
pressed themselves willing to meet
with the committee from representa-
tive body of such Associations and
Growers, at which time it would be
expected that a full statement of re-
sulting conditions would be presented,
clearly outlining any existing unfair
ness and prohibitive tariffs; but in or
der to accomplish such a review, it
must be supported by all sections in
which these rates are now in use.
Accordingly you are appealed to, to
exert every influence at your command,
and particularly are you requested to
meet together and select delegate to
represent your locality at the next
gathering.
The matter is to be handled in the
spirit of fairness and. as such, will
probably be accepted by the different
Railroads and Express companies.
Now what are you going to do?
Advise Mr.. G. E. Richardson, 1884
Champa St. Denver, Colo, as soon as
possible, that you can or cannot send
delegate, providing him with suftieient
funds 70 cover his expenses, and with
credentials, showing he comes rs an
official representative.
This meeting will be held in Denver,
on Wednesday, March q, 1905, at 1000
a. m. in room 400, Markham hotel.
Individual growers and interested
parties are also asked to participate
and aid in the selection of such dele
gates. This meeting, if properly at
tended, will undoubtedly result in ben
efits to every producer, but obove all
else, let it be impressed that full and
large attendance is absolutely necessary
to accomplish the end in view.
The Associations of the State are
urging the adoption of some means
whereby authentic reports can be OBJ
tanned regarding market situations,
and standing of commission merchants
dealers and brokers operating at vari-
Gus shipping points, and this matter
will be discussed.
Please give this appeal an immediate
and effective attention.

SUPPLIES FOR THE ARMY.
Improved System of Inspection to Be
Employed.

The report of Major ]. G. Galbraith in
spector general, on his inspection of bust
ness methods in the quartermaster depot
at Schuylkill arsenal, with its accompany
ing exhibits has been reviewed by General
Oliver, assistant secretary OF war, who has
directed that the system of passing upon
quartermaster's supplies be modified in SIS
eral important particulars. with a view to
more thoroughly safeguarding government
interests
In his investigation Major Galbraith was
assisted by two other officers who made
personal inspections of the factories which
are at present furnishing articles under
contracts. These officers also thoroughly
looked into the methods of accepting and
handling supplies at the depot. 1t appears
from their conclusions that the present
system of inspecting supplies in the quar-
termaster's department is theoretically
cellent. but now carried out, il is made
quate and offers at least opportunity for the
delivery of inferior goods. While no frauds
or gross Irregularities were discovered, the
need for simpler and more efficient methods
of dealing with contractors was made mani
fest.
In accordance with the direction OF the
Secretary of War Instructions have been
ISSUED TO the quartermaster general by Gen
eral Oliver to put into opera ton a quarter
masters depots a plan whereby the inspec-
ton viii cover the raw material, the process
of manufacture and the finished product.
Each article inspected must be duly
marked, when possible with the number
and name of the Inspector. and also each
box or bale, adding also the name of the
officer who is in charge of the inspection.
The purpose is to fix responsibility upon
every one concerned and thereby obyiate
the present loose method under which ii is
practically impossible to determine Who is
responsible.
