Pulque, the national drink of the Mexicans. is made from the sap or giant species of agave, the heshy leaves of which are sometimes nine feet long and weigh over 100 pounds each. Each plant be ars from twenty-five to fifty leaves al ound massive. heshy base, and the-iargest ones weigh from one to two tons apiece. This pulque ma guey, as it is called. thrives best at g high altitude on the semiaril plains Of the Mexican table-lands. The Valley of Mexico is the center of its cultiva- tion, and many extensive plantations are devoted entirely to growing It. yielding large revenues to their own CTS. The plants when. two or three years old are set out in long parallel rows and reach maturity in from twelve to fourteen years. In order to insure a succession of harvests new settir gs are planted yearly. The great fiesby leaves spend all the years of their maturity In storing up quantities of sweet sap. At the expiration of this long interval. which might almost be called a period of incubation. remark able change occurs. The plant has then attained the supreme moment to- ward which all the hoarding of sap during the past years has been direct ed; the character of its activity changes and with marvellcu us rapidity a up into the air from twenty to fifty feet. The flower stalk, which is some times foot in diameter at the bottom. is fed generously on the store of sap in the base and leaves. Its upper end throws out branches like q candela- brum, and greenish white flowers spring forth in clusters. Running birds, orioles and various kinds of in- sects also attracted by the nectar of the blossoms pass from plant to plant, and thus insure fertilization. After the seeds form, the leaves and base. having exhausted themselves in this final ef- fort, wither and die. This is the orr dinary course of procedure, but it would not suit the planter. who at the critical moment. when the maguey Is on the point of sending up its flower stalk, cuts out the center of the plant. leaving a bowl-shaped cavity. into which the stored sap runs. This sap, being fermented, is the pulque of com merce. The value of the annual pro- duet of pulque runs up to millions of dollars, There is another kind of agave from which the Mexicans get much more powerful alcoholic drink. known as mescal.

Certainly the oldest passport ever issued was one signed by the Governor of the Russian province of Povolsk, on the sh ores of the Arctic Ocean. who granted safe conduct tn the north pole.
 Bo was approached by two members of an expedition ftting out Tor polar exploration who gave as their destina- ton the north pole. The governor was nonoIut sed at this unique request, but his visitors insisted on being supplied with the desired papers and their re- quest was granted after the governor had thoughtfully written in clause stipulating that the responsibility of the Russian Government ceased when they passed from Russian territory. The exolorers assented to this qualification and since their travels carried them but a short distance toward the pole they are still possessed of their unique documents

CEI EBRATION AT BUT les
Our Sister Town Invites Gun
nison for the Fourth

The Crested Butte Boosters club
has raised over 500 already toward
the expense of a grand celebration
in that town on the Fourth OF July
and it is the fixed determination of
the club to make this the biggest
celebration in the history of the
town.
Negotiations are already pending
for the Gnuuison band and 1t IS
hoped and expected that Gunnison
will send her Base Ball team, Hose
team and competitors for the various
other events.
Crested Butte will endeavor to re
ciprocate by attending en- masse and
boosting for the annual celebration
of the Stockgrowers Association,
which we understand is scheduled
for July ID or thereabout.
We believe that unity upon the
part of Crested Butte and Gunnison
is necessary for the complete success
of a public celebration In either
town, and will work to that end
