FOOTBALL TRAGEDY.
Canon City High School Boy Killed by
Rouuh PLAY.

Denver.-A Canon City special to the
Republican says: James Il. Bryant,
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ.
Bryant of COL Prospect avenue. South
Canon, was killed at noon Friday while
playing football on the grounds of the
grammar school building almost di-
recty across the street from his home.
Young Bryant was a member of the
freshman class of the South Canon
high school, but having no recitations
in the afternoon had been in the habit
of remaining at home for study. OBJ
serving the boys at the Prospect Ave
nue. grammar school getting ready for
a practice game of football, Bryant
walked over to where they were and
asked permission to play.
In scrimmage which followed he
was butted in the pit of the stomach
by one of the opposing team and fell
to the ground, a dozen boys piling on
top of him in a scramble to get pos
session of the ball, which he held. 1t
was noticed by those on top of him
that Bryant made no effort to get up.
An investigation revealed the fact that
he was limp and lifeless
The body was carried to his home
and physician summoned, but the
boy was dead. After an investigation
the physician gave it as his opinion
that death was caused ry blow on
the solar plexus. Bryant was seven
teen years of age and was an ardent
devotee of all kinds of athletics AT
the recent field day meet of the repre-
sentatives of the Cripple Creek, Victor,
Canon and South Canon high schools
he won the pole vault, making a rec
ord of eight feet one '1ch.

Will Remove Grazing Fee.

Denver-The Republican prints the
following from Washington.-E. H.
Grubb of Carbondale, Colorado, was
here yesterday and held long con-
ference with Secretary Wilson and
Chief Forester Pinchot regarding the
forest reserves recently established in
Colorado. Mr.. Grubb made a vigorous
protest against charging grazing fee
on the Holy Cross reserve at this time.
He insisted that the government had
no way of knowing what the expense
of supervision of the reserve would
be, and until the reserve had been
handled for few years under the new
plan the stockmen would not know
that they were any better off than at
the present time, when they have free
access to all of this section.
Mi. Grubb finally secured a promise
from the secretary and Chief Pinchot
that early next month an order would
be issued resembling the regulation to
charge O. grazing fee on this reserve.

Would Utilize Rabbit Bush.

f. P. House has been experimenting
endeavoring to hybridize the rabbit
bush for forage or rubber, says a
Greeley correspondent in the Denver
Republican. Mr.. House has interested
Luther Burbank of California in this
plant. Some time ago Mr. House sent
Mr.. Burbank five healthy seeds of the
rabbit bush. This morning Mr. House
received a request from Mr. Burbank
for more seeds and he forwarded a
large plant covered with seeds. Until
few years ago this plant was prac.
tically unknown here. Now it over
spreads the country, killing natural
grasses and even cactus and thriving
where no water is obtainable
Mr.. House is also experimenting in
dry farming. Thirty days ago he
planted four kinds of winter wheat. the
seed of which was grown in Utah. The
wheat has sprouted and looks green
and vigorous. No water has been
given the seed. Blue barley and turf
oats were also planted and are doing
well. The results are good consider.

Kind of Canal Not Decided.

Washington.-The following has
been issued by the isthmian canal
commission: I'm regard to the pub
lished rumors to the effect that the
majority of the members of the con-
sulting board of engineers have de-
cided in favor of lock canal at Pan
anna, General Davis, chairman of the
board. said today:
$50 far as ! am aware, neither the
board nor any individual member of it
has expressed any opinion as to the
type of canal that is favored. The
board is not in possession of all the
facts bearing upon the question of
type. 1t returns to this city entirely
free from any prejudice or bias re-
specting that type so far as known to
me. The board will be in continuous
session either as board or in sepa-
rate committees until they reach a con
clusion, which will be arrived at some
time in the month of November, prob
ably near the close. Two committees
have been appointed to study the two
types of canal-sea level and lock-
and these committees are endeavoring
to develop the best canal of each type
When the work shall have been COM
pleted the whole board will be ready to
decide which type they prefer"

srockmEN COMBINE.
Executive Committees of Rival Asso-
Citations Agree to Unite.


Denver--Pressing desire for reform
measures was responsible Saturday for
bringing the two executive committees
OF the stockmen's associations to a
basis Of harmony. The success Of fu-
ture efforts for bringing the desired
changes about seemed to depend SO
entirely upon the consolidation, that
personal differences and conflicting
theories were laid aside for the com
mon good.
The agreement at this time is due to
the persistent efforts of President
Hagenbarth of the national association
to restore harmony. To accomplish
this he conceded everything, making
it victory for the American Stock
Growers Association. 1t was the only
way to bring peace, as the cattlemen
Of the West refused to countenance the
packing interests on their executive
committee, SO the packers had to go.
The railroad interests had been shut
out previously; and these interests will
now be dealt with from without the or
ganiZation, rather than within it.
Following Is the full text of the
agreement, signed by the executive Of
ficers of each organization:
"First-The membership to consist
of live stock producing and maturing
interests Of the country.
'.Second-The constitution and by
laws of the American Stock Growers
Association, modified so as to admit
to membership associations of live
stock producers, as well as individuals,
to be made the basis.
'Third-One strong central commit
tee, appointed by the association thus
formed, to carry on the business of the
association.
'Fourth-The association to coop
crate with all allied interests through
such subcommittee as may be ap-
pointed by the executive committee,
whenever and wherever the interests
of said association and such allied in
terests are mutual.
"Fifth-The objects of the organiza-
ton thus formed will be. to represent
the live stock interests in all matters
of general and public Importance, and
TO conserve the interests, protect the
rights and to redress the wrongs of
each and all of its members.

THE FARM AND RANGE

In place of thirty cars last year Col
orado this year will have only five or
six cars of honey to send out of the
state, says Field and Farm. The scant
supply is having marked effect on the
eastern honey market and will be felt
all over the West. Honey which sold
last year at around 10 cents a pound
will cost 15 cents this year.
Not only does baled hay bring bet
ter price at market and save the cost
of a press In reduced freight charges,
but 1t is another source of profit in the
money It makes for its owner who uses
1t to bale hay for his neighbors. Many
farmers could add a snug sum to the
profit of their hay crops If they would
invest i'll a hay baler. The right kind
will pay for itself many times during
the years of its usefulness.
The sugar beet growers are now
casting up accounts to determine what
1t has cost to grow such a crop. An es-
innate made by Larimer county man
is as follows: Assuming that one man
and team will plow one and one-quar-
ter acres a day at $3.50 day, the
plowing will cost $3.50; leveling, 22
cents; first narrowing, 35 cents; roll
ing. 20 cents; seed, eighteen pounds at
Is cents, $40; planting, so cents; four
civilizations, $500; furrowing out for
irrigation, 10 cents; four irrigations,
s1.4O; hand work, punching and thin
ming, $500; second hoeing, $500; third
hoeing, $1.00; pulling and topping,
5000: plowing out, S1.75; delivering
within two and one-half miles, hfteen
tons at 40 cents a ton, $500, making
the total cost s39.97. The value OF a
fifteen-ton crop at s5 ton is SIS, leav-
ing a net profit of $35.03 an acre

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards-The
trade here during the week Just past
was more active than 1t has been for
some time. Receipts were liberal, be-
ing about 1000 more than the preced-
ing week, but there was a good de-
mand for everything and prices on good
cattle are 10 to 20 cents higher than
they were at the opening OF the weeks
business. This was due, however, en-
tirely to local conditions as eastern
markets were all reported lower for
the week. Beef steers were scarce all
week. A few very good ones arrived
during the first few days and sold read
lily, as packers were in need of them,
but few have been here during the last
few days. Best North Park steers sold
at S4.10, the best price paid in several
weeks, but they were choice and but
few landed above $3.75 and the bulk
sold from this down to $500. Cows
were in fair supply and some very
good ones offered, but good many
were very much on the common order
Best cows sold at $500 and bulk of the
sales ranged from $2.35 to $3.50 with
medium from $3.50 down. Bulls and
veal calves were about steady for the
week. Feeder and stocker trade was
the best in weeks. Receipts were lib
eral and demand was very good. East
ern buyers were here in force and
would have taken a good many more
had they been offered. Some choice
blacks sold at s3.75, freight paid,
which was the best sale reported, and
bulk of the pretty good steers went at
$3.25 to 1855 with the medium to fair
at $2.S5 to sS.25. A good trade is ex-
pected this week.
Hog receipts were liberal, but they
were all sold readily under very good
demand. Prices note very little change
from week ago and best hogs are
still selling around $5.25.
Receipts of sheep were again heavy
during the week. but good many were
contracted. Offerings, however, were
quite liberal and all sold as the demand
is good. Dealers have large number
of orders for feeding wethers and
would use good many more If they
could get them here. Prices are Is to
rs cents higher than a week ago.

Tree PIantina Experiments.

The State Agricultural College of
Colorado is entering upon an expert
ment in tree planting which promises
to be of incalculable value to the
state. The following will explain the
purpose and plan:
To determine the adaptability of
these two species as utility trees to
the different localities in this state
and to obtain data for guidance of tree
planters.
To encourage and educate the public
in the matter of tree planting for
posts, poles and fuel by means of dem
onstration planting.
The trees selected are the hardy or
western catalpa and the black locust.
They are chosen because of their gem
eral utility qualities, viz: Ease of es-
tablishing, hardness, rapid growth,
great durability when in contact with
the soil and fair value as fuel.
A plantation of 300 trees of each spe-
cies is to be established in each of
twenty representative localities in the
state.
| Each plantation is to be put in
| charge of some responsible person,
who shall volunteer to furnish the
ground, set the trees out, irrigate and
cultivate them according to instruc-
| tions.
The experiment station is to furnish
the trees free of expense to the person
in charge, to supervise the planting of
the trees, and to leave the plantation
entirely in the possession of the owner
of the ground at the end of ten years.
Trees of both species will be planted
in rows six feet apart, with the trees
four feet apart in the rows. thus Gov
vering about one-third of an acre. The
rows to extend usually north and south,
and the area covered to be not more
than twice as long as broad; wind.
brake is to be used when necessary.
The points selected are: Fort Collins.
Longmont, Greeley, Wheatridge, Cope,
Brighton, Parker, Cheyenne Wells, Pu-
eblo, Rocky Ford, Amity, Trinidad,
Canon City. Rifle, Gypsum, Fruita,
Delta, Montrose, Monte Vista and Hot
Sulphur Springs.
Persons desiring to volunteer in TAX
ing up the experiment with the state
can write to Professor w. Paddock,
agricultural college. Fort Collins.
