WARNING vIPERs IN POLITICS.

A standpat newspaper has complain
ed Of the presence of Harvey Ingham
and Gardner Cowles on the Iowa dele
cation to the reciprocity convention in
Chicago, insinuating that Governor
Cummins took too good care Of his po-
litical friends in the selection of dele
gates.
The complaint comes at an oppor-
tune time, when the governors own
friend are inclined to criticise his lib
crafty toward his enemies. Many of
them fear that his anxiety to do the
fair thing as governor will prove a
weakness in him as politician. The
governors experience In warning the
vipers to his breast has been true to
the parable in that they have usually
turned upon their benefactor. When
he proposed compromise plank for
the sake of harmony in the party, altho
accepted, 1t was Immediately made to
appear that the governor had been
forced to slide down the pole" When

For my uncomfortable soul.

Under the bludgeonirgs Of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Looms but the horror Of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

How charged with pu,lishments the

"The Lesser Rreeds.w


Professor Ross conclusion is, how
ever that "Dilution need not spell de-
cline. The psychology of the superior
third Of the people creates the spirit
which ultimately comes to dominate
the rest" The danger, he sees, is in
the hegira to the cities:
But what with shortened lives, bach
elorhood, late or childless marriages
and small families, the cities consti-
tute so many blast furnaces where the
talented rise and become incandescent
to be sure. but for all that are con-
sumed without due replacement. Thus
may run down a race keyed up by the
migrations Of more than two centur-
les Unless our successful ones hearken
betlmes to the gospel of the simple life,
the afternoon spirit is sure to creep
upon us at last.
In it's editorial on "The Lesser
Breeds" the Independent does not en-
tirely agree with or dissent from Pro-
fessor Ross:
Are we quite sure that there is not
a bit of Alglo- Saxon arrogance in the

on Apple Prospects.

Denver, Jan. 12.-Fully a hundred
representative horticulturists of the
state were present at the rooms of the
state Society in the capitol building
yesterday morning when the annual
meeting was called to order. They
represented nearly every section of the
state.
The state rooms had been hand
somely decorated with the displays
that were used at the st. Louis Expo-
sition. Among the displays of fruit
that attracted marked attention were
nineteen varieties of apples from the
Madison orchard, north of Denver.
Governor Adams and many members
Of the Legislature were present at the
opening. Governor Adams welcomed
the representatives.
Hon. ]. F. Callbreath, president of
the chamber of commerce, added a
welcome in behalf of the city.
President Coburn read his annual
address and the reports of the state in
spectors were presented. Secretary

port.
At the afternoon meeting the fol-
lowing committees were announced:

A greeting was sent to the men,

to visit the society on Friday.
V. Devinny of Denver read an inter-
esting paper on the disposal of surplus
fruits. He told at length of what has
been done in Nebraska in evaporating
and drying fruits, from the first wind
falls to the last packing and he also
spoke of preparing cider for vinegar,
etc.

VIII Rush Gunnison canah

A. L. Fellows, in charge of the Gun
nison irrigation project in Colorado,
states that he expects work to COM
mence on construction of cuts and the
tunnel without further delay. The sec
retary of the interior has approved the
bonds of the contractors and accepted
their contracts. Several large air
compressors and other heavy machin-
cry will be purchased in Denver for
the tunnel work. The contractors have
plans ready to commence on eXcavat-
ing the cut leading to the tunnel and
will begin this work Immediately. The
open cut will be half mile long. The
tunnel will be 10000 feet in length
and carry 1900 cubic feet of water
per second. After emerging from the
tunnel the water will be conveyed by
100 miles of canals and laterals and
distributed upon 125, 900 acres of land.
Mr.. Fellows will take up the proposed
project for irrigating 10000 acres of
land by diverting the waters of the
Grand river to the high line ditch,
north of Grand Junction. Preliminary
surveys have been made and the pro-
ject found feasible. If a water users
association can be formed, so that all
of the water diverted VIII be used.
the reclamation service will proceed
with the project, the estimated cost
of which is $1,500,000.

Director of the Mint Roberts states
that coinage machinery for the Denver
mint, which has been on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. st. Louis, is being
packed for shipment to Denver. Addi-
tional machinery which is being built
at Philadelphia will be shipped in time
to have it installed and ready for op-
Grafton July 1st. when the institution
will be opened as coinage mint. 1t
is expected by Director Roberts that
legislation will be enacted during this
session of Congress authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to direct coin
age of nickels and pennies at western
mints as well as at Philadelphia, the
only place where they are now coined.
In this event the product of the Den
yer mint will be these denominations
and also subsidiary silver and gold
coins.
Senator Hepburn has introduced
bill for the relief of entrymen on lands

that qualified entrymen who have

upon application and showing that
water is not available for irrigating

PRUIT GROWERS.
Meeting of the Colorado horticultural
Society.

Denver, Jan. ,12.-There were two Or
ganizations of horticulturists in ses-
sion in Denver yesterday. The State
Board of Horticulture opened it's an
nual meeting and the convention of the
Colorado Horticultural Society fin
ished it's work and adjourned.
Officers were elected yesterday, and
many interesting papers were read, at
the convention of the Colorado Horti-
cultural Society. E. F. Stephens, the
Nebraska orchardist and scientist, who
is attending the convention, read pa
per on "Orcharding in Western Ne
braska," in which he took occasion to
compliment in the highest terms the
fruit grown in Colorado, and said it
was superior to that grown in any
state in the Union.
The following are the officers of the
society: G. II. Easley, Golden, presi-
dent; w. Frank Crowley, Montrose,
vice president; George E. Richardson,
Denver, secretary; Mrs. Lutte Wilcox,
Denver, treasurer; board of directors,
w. S. Haswell Of Denver, w. G. NJ.
Stone of Denver and Henri S. McClel-
land of Fort Collins.
How to Examine Fruit Trees was
a subject ably handled by E. d. Smith
turists how to detect the various forms
of orchard pests and diseases, and how
to doctor them when found. He de-
plored the increase of the woolly avis
and the coddling moth in the orchards
of the state, and said he had been sig
nally successful in fighting the pests
with spray of tobacco water and by
depositing a liberal quantity of to-
bacco dust at the roots
Other papers were: Extending Our
Forest Area" Frederick Won Holdt,
Alcott; ways and Means for Market
ing Fruit" w. j. Galligan, Loveland; /;
What One Association Has Accom-
plished," A. II. Root, Edgewater; "The
Object and Purposes OF Horticultural
Society,"" John Berry, Denver.
Reports of committees showed the
society to be in flourishing condition.
The first paper to be read was one
by J. H. Harris of Dolores on the "Pos-
sibilities of Fruit in Southwestern Col
orado."
w. P. Collins followed with a paper
on "The Combination of Bees and
Fruit" and advised combining the
two. He gave statistics of the profits
of both branches of business and
showed where the income of the fruit
grower might ne substantially IN
creased by the addition of hives.
Education and Exhibitions" by Prof.
w. l.. Carlyle of the agricultural col
lege at Fort Collins, was a technical
dicourse on horticulture in its various
forms and the value of fruit displays.
Topics for general discussion were
introduced as follows Cost of Grow
ing an Orchard" top Working Trees, y
Securing Competent Help" Fruit
Evaporators and Canneries." New
Fruits" Fertilization and Cover
Crops" and What About Tree
Agents"
No discussion of the servant girl
problem ever brought forth a more
lively discussion among the city folks
than the subject of Securing Compe-
tent Help" among the horticulturists.
The. tree agents also brought forth
much interesting testimony.
