Gore Canon Controversy.

Denver, June 15.-Rendering his
opinion on surveys and other investi-
cations made of Gore canon. secured
under his direction while in charge OF
the United States reclamation service
in this city, A. l.. Fellows yesterday
made the following assertions In an
affidavit taken by United States Dis
trict Attorney Il. NJ. Cranston, and
which will be used by the government
in its application for an Injunction to
restrain the Moffat road from laying
tracks through the canon.
Mr.. Fellows. In substance, declares:
That the construction of tho
Kremmling reservoir is a feasible and
economical proposition from an engi.
neer's standpoint.
That the supply of unappropriated
waters is sufficient to fill the reservoir
annually.
That the needs of the United States
reclamation service in its plans for
the reclamation of arid lands stu.
ated below the reservoir site In Colo.
RADIO, Utah. Arizona and California
make 1t essential that the reservoir
be constructed.
That the reservoir site is the only
site on Grand river adapted to satisfy
the requirements of tho lands be.

That the construction of the pro-
posed reservoir Will not prevent tho
construction of the Denver. North

Rio Grande Earnings.

Denver, June 15.-According to
forecast of the auditors report, which
has been sent to the stockholders. tho
surplus earnings of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1905, will be moro
than double those of 1904. The &C.
tual surplus for the first ten months
of the present year is shown to be
$2,316,445, with May and June esti-
mated at S45i.4S4.
A dividend of five per cent. was paid
out OF these earnings upon the pre-
ferred stock, amounting to $2.22O.00O
upon an issue OF s44 4.4OO.0 900. and in
addition one-half years interest on
900 OF additional stock issued
last spring. The total dividend upon
the preferred stock for the fiscal year
aggregates s2,25O.000. an increase OF
100000 over the previous year.
The increase in surplus for the year
Is over 100 per cent. and this reflects
the improved condition in the busi-
ness of the state. The showing Is
extremely gratifying to the officials OF
the road, for it means that, II neces-
sary, dividend OF nearly two per
cent. could be paid upon the S3S.000,-
900 of common stock which has never
yielded anything. However. the sur.
plus will be kept in the treasury, al
though 1t is regarded as probable that
the earnings of the coming fiscal year.
beginning July 1st, will give the com.
mon stock the first dividend in its
history.

miral Rojestvensky in the hospital at
Sasebo. The admiral. speaking in

the japanese and praised the quarters
assigned him. He occupies a private
room, which is well ventilated and
gives the admiral a view OF the beau

the correspondent:
II have everything I desire. My
wounds are healing. but my left leg
is troublesome, and it will be some
time before I am able to move about.
In thirty days. perhaps. l shall be
well again"
Asked for his views OF the naval
battle. the admiral merely replied:
"The japanese fleet was so good, 1t
was impossible"
Then he completely broke down.
Evidently his mental sufferings were
acute. for he desired to avoid the
subject. and during the remainder OF
the conversation the naval battle was
not mentioned.

Farm Notes.

The Castings" on the trunks of the
apple trees show where the borers
have been at work.
Care should be exercised in keep
ings the cow pasture free from rag.
weed. This weed imparts peculiarly
disgusting. bitter taste to the milk of
cows which eat 1t, and the butter
made from such milk is also impreg-
mated with the same peculiar taste.
One of the most fatal mistakes in
breeding hogs or any other class of
stock is to overlook the question of
constitutional vigor, for upon this
depends the general health and thrift
of the stock, their feeding qualities
and their ability to assimilate food to
the best advantage.
Fattening animals should never be
allowed to become hungry. nor. on the
other hand, should they be fed too
heavily. Too heavy feeding clogs the
appetite and too long periods between
feeds makes the animal restless. The
better plan is to feed more frequently
and just what the animal will readily
eat Up clean.

HAD CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Lawyer Won Case, But Cast Serious
Reflections on Client.

Ex-senator Lindsay of Kentucky
says that a lawyer in that state who
was r-tained as counsel for the plain
tiff In suit against a certain corpor-
ation, In course of his argument in
coust. in the usual manner of lawyers
endeayored to gain the sympathy o:
the jury for his client.
Gentlemen of the jury" exclaimed
the attorney, who are the parties to
this important litigation? Here, on
tn, one hand, we have an excessively
rich and powerful corporation, and
there, on the other hand. is my poor
simple, uneducated client"
In this wise continued the lawyer;
and finally so worked upon the feel
ings of the Jurors that they quickly
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.
1t would appear. however that the
litigant. who was a man of consider
able intelligence, was not exactly ex-
ultant over the means employed to
defend his suit, for when a friend
some days after spoke of the case, he
said:
"Yes, that mans a fine lawyer. all
right. and he won my suit for me.
But I'd never employ him again. Do
you know, he called me fool, and
made the jury believe it!"-The Sun

Frightened by Degrees.

In a small town of Kansas not long
ago some individuals Interested in san
itary measures engaged the services
of scientist from Chicago to lecture
on bacteriology. In the audience were
man and his wife, the gardener and
housekeeper of the leading citizen OF
the town. These worthy people, entire
ly ignorant of the subject of the lee
turer's discourse, had been attracted
to the hall by the announcement that
magic.lantern views would be exhibit
ed.
The two took seats in the rear of
the hall. In the course of the lecture
they evinced no signs of approval or
objection; but when the discourse was
concluded the gardener was heard to
ask his wife: Maggie. did you pay
attention to what that Chicago man
had to say?"
"Yes, jes' as well as I could" was
tile reply.

derstand of it.''-The Sunday Maga.

The Feed Floor,

find that feed floor is a good
thing to have, as it saves feed both

cinders, sand or cement and without
a roof. Some men cover their floors.
but this is useless expenditure of
money. as the floor is not SO good
covered as it is bare. When it is
uncovered every rain washes it OFF
and every sunny day dries it. I am
willing that nature should work for
me. The washing off and the drying

which thrive in shady places. such
as those made by the roofs over feed

wind tight. This is not needed in
summer, but is very serviceable in
winter when the cold wind is blow

that covers the floor will have to be
shoveled off, but that is one of the
things that keep it clean.-Henry Por-

Louisville, KY, June Is. The
United Confederate veterans and aux

mass Of humanity to order.
A rousing reception was given tho
commander-in-chief, Gen. Stephen ID.
Lee, when he arose to respond for the
veterans to the addresses OF welcome.
Cheers were given the few remaining
great figures of the Confederacy as
they made their appearance. The ven

approaching his eight 9TH year. was
heartily greeted, and delivered stir

over the sight of their famous leader.
General Wheeler acknowledged the
greetings in a brief speech.
In his response to the address OF
welcome, Harry B. Haines of st. Louis
said:
"There is one duty that the southern
son owes to his father as well as to his
nation, and that is to insist persis-'
tently at all times and upon all occa-
sions that the history of the war shall
be truly written, that its causes shall
be asserted. and that we may proclaim.
and posterity know, that the soldiers
of the South fought for principle and
honor and the preservation OF that
construction of the constitution which
was given by the men who made it,"

The preparations for the accommoda-
ton of the old soldiers have been made

used as headquarters of the various

Light Retards Fatteninq,

Some may be surprised to learn
that animals lay on fat more rapidly
in the dark than in the light, though.
on the whole, darkness is detrimental
to the health of animals. When ami.
mails are kept in a dark room they
use less oxygen and cast off less car.
bonic gas. Otherwise the carbon in
form of fat is then left hi the
body to increase the amount of fat on
the body, which is constantly being
added to by the changing of carbohy.
drate food into fat. In some expert.
ments made in Europe it was found
that animals added about 25 per cent
more fat when kept in the dark than
in the light. The dark, however
stops the development of the skeleton
and the frame generally. The amount
of protein consumed is not apprecia.
bly, affected by darkne1s or light.
