Deuel. County Boy in Trouble.

At the time of the Oshkosh races
last week, Bert Duncan, q young man
about seventeen years old, was sent
over here after d load OF ice aud as he
was returning he broke down near
Henry Olson's place, aud as it was
nearing midnight he says he didu't like
to disturb the peaceful slumbers of
Mr.. Olson. SO he went quietly to Mr..
Olson's barn yard and hooked onto his
wagon and left the old one for Mr.
Olsen. This would not have been so
bad if he had thought it worth while
to return the wagon, but he seemed to
think that as it was only about twenty
miles over to Oshkosh that MIR. Olson
would come over and make the ex.
change II he so desired. Mr.. Olson
did not look at it just in that light SO
he sent Sheriff McEldowney over after
the boy and wagon. TIE case came
up in Judge O'Neil's court Tuesday,
and after due consideration OF all the
evidence and circumstances connected
with the case, the judge concluded
that the State Industrial school for
Boys, at KeaLney. would be the proper
place for him, and accordingly Sheriff
McEldowney took him to that institu-
tion the following day.-Chappell Reg

Successfully Advertising Colorado.


Without blare of trumpets the Col.
orado State Commercial association
has gone quietly and systena tically
about the advertising Of Colorado's
resources. Through its travelling ex-
hibit Of the agricultural products Of
the state, shown at the state fairs of
the various states, it has attracted the
attention of homeseekers everywhere,
and this is what the state needs more
than anything else-actual settlers
and home-make,s, Given an increased
population, thrifty and industrious,
and other things follow. Capital seeks
investment in populous states. Cities,
with their commerce, thrive in those
states the resources Of which are in
process of Development, not in those
whose resources remain undevel-
oped.
The rich mineral resources OF Color
ado have attracted capital and their
development has reached The point
where the state stands first in the val
ue of its mineral product. Much OF
this product has remained within the
state, it is true, but it is likewise true
that a large part OF it goes without to
enrich the Golfers of nOn-residenLs.
Agricultural resources have received
but partial development, yet, great as
is the annual mineral product, the ag-
riculLural product exceeds it. And OF
this all remains within her
borders for the states enrichment.
Substantial prosperity of the state,
along all lines, must rest in part upon
the solid foundation of. the thorough
development of agricultural resources,
and to the attainment Of this end
there must be an influx OF actual farm,
ing population, which shall settle up.
