A NEW ROUTE TO ESTES PARK.

johnson Brothers inaugurate daily
Estes Park P. o.
May 10 the first stage Of johnson
Brothers line, drawn by four good horses
will leave the Colorado & Southern rail-
way station on arrival Of the morning
train, for accommodation OF passengers
for Estes park.
johnson Brothers deserve much credit
for their liberality in equipping this
stage line. The wagons are new and Of
the latest pattern, especially designed
for the comfort o: the passengers.
The route Of the line is over new and
splendid country road, along the Big
Thompson river. The canon Of the Big
Thompson is unsurpassed for magnificent
scenery, and the end Of the journey is
crowned by the grandest view of them
all-Estes Park-a panorama beyond de-
scription.
A splendid eating station is to be
maintained at the half way house by Mr.,
F. G. Bartholf. Here a stop of thirty
minutes will be made for dinner and q
change Of horses.
Estes Park affords 30 many attractive
summer hotels, such fine fishing and
hunting, and alluring roads for riding
and driving. that its popularity for sum-
mer outings is increasing from year to
year, especially as the facilities for reach
ing it are improved.
The same one way and round trip
rates apply via the Colorado & Southern
Ry. and Loveland as have applied by
way Of Lyons, and the indications are
that the larger part OF the seasons trav-
ell to and from Estes Park will be
through Loveland.
The Colorado & Southern Ry. has is
sued a nicely illustrated publication, de-
scriptive OF Estes Park and its tourist
accommodations.

Uncle Sam After Oil Men.

Boatmen along the Mermentau and
rice farmers drawing their water sup
ply from the Mermentau and its trihu-
taries continue to complain of the oil
OF the surface Of the river. The Oil
comes from the Jennings oil field and
is present on the surface of the river
in such quantities as to make danger
from fire imminent and to threaten the
rice crop. One serious fire occurred
near the Southern Pacific bridge at
Mermentau, and but for the presence
of a Waterman the bridge would have
been destroyed by the burning oil on
the surface of the river. Through the
efforts of the citizens of Lake Arthur
the war department has taken the mat.
ter in hand and steps will be taken by
the secretary of war to abate the
nuisance on the ground the it is 8
menace to navigation.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR RICE HAY.
A Feed Equal to Timothy Hay, II Cut
While Towering.

In referring to the large loss Of
cattle in Texas the past year.. Mr.. j..
F.. Slattery, one Of the government
agents now stationed in Louisiana,
makes the following remarks on rice
hay, which contains very pointed
suggestion for rice farmers. He says:
In Texas and Louisiana is produced
a second growth of rice which will
make "rice hay" When this second
growth is cut in the towering stage,
and properly handled, it is not in
ferior to timothy. To prevent this
second growth from polluting the soil
with red rice-a terrible pest-it
should be cut and placed on the mar
ket. 1t will keep thousands of dollars
at home. Unfortunately, this source
of supplying Texas with hay has re-
ceived as yet no attention.
The reports of successful results
from the feeding of rice continue to be
received, and the practice Of feeding
the low grades that have, during the
present rice year, brought such un-
satisfactory prices has grown rapidly.
The experience that has been gained
in this, as d result, OF depressed
values, will result in large utilization
of inferior grades so long as condl'
tions continue the same, and the rice
farmer who aside from the feeding OF
work stock, has hogs to feed, will In
this way get fair returns for his low
grades in spite of market conditions.
The hog must have a place on
every rice farm and with forage,
sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc., with the
addition of rice, if prices and con
ditions suggest its use, the rice farmer
can not only raise his own meat bu'
have hogs to market.

SECRETARY HAYS RETURN.
Will Resume His Duties as Secretary
of State

Secretary Hays health is so greatly inn
proved that he will resume his duties as
Secretary of State upon his return to Wash
ington from abroad. He has steadily grown
better, and the informa ton from him is
that he has almost recovered his health. No
communications have passed between Sec
retary Hay and the President as to the
former again taking up his duties, but 1t
was the understanding all along that he
would do so. The President is delighted
that the health of Secretary Hay continues
to improve, and nothing pleases him more
than to anticipate the presence of the Sec
retary of State at a cabinet meeting.
There has never been any misunderstand-
ing between the two men. On the other
hand, there is a cordial friendship and un-
derstandng between them that has been
productive of many pleasant incidents and
unlimited trustfulness-& 1t is not now be-
lieved the physicians of Secretary Hay will
interfere with his return to work. His Wig
orous and lively mentality will also urge
him to get in harness, and the President is
confident that there will be nothing to pre-
vent his soon resuming his usual duties.
1t is understood that Secretary Hay has
written that he will be back in Washing
ton before the President goes away on his
summer vacation. This will bring Mr.. Hay
back to the United States about the middle
of June, as the President intends to go to
Oyster Bay about the 10Th of that month.

The Kansas Oil Trouble.
Representative Campbell of Kansas, who
introduced in the House of Representatives
the resolution requesting an investigation of
the methods of the Standard Oil Company
in the Kansas field, which was the basis of
the inquiry now being conducted by James
r. Garfield, commissioner of corporations,
had an interview with the President today
in company with David Mulvane, republican
national committeeman from Kansas Mr..
Campbell said his call was of no particular
significance and that he did not discuss
with the President the oil situation. Speak
er Cannon called on the President at the
same time and Mr.. Campbell went over with
him some points in the oil investigation.
Since the trouble began said Mr.. Camp
bell, 1.-THE price of our best crude oil pro-
duced in Kansas has been reduced by the
Standard from $l.36 to 81 cents a barreli
At that price it is not worth while to sell
It at all, and the people of the oil regions
of our state have returned to their agri-
cultural pursuits with renewed vigor. in
tending to hold their oil until they can get
a fair price for it. The people of Kansas
are doing well.
They were making money before oil was
discovered and there is no reason why they
should not continue to make money. The
Standard has pursued the same tactics IN
fighting the oil producers of Kansas that it
has followed wherever it has started out to
kill competition and control markets. we
are told that our oil is not good as the
eastern product to explain why the Stand
ard chops the buying price to so low a
figure. Then the Standard tells the people
to whom it sells the oil that Kansas oil is
better than the eastern. We have letters
written by the Standards manager in Kan
saS to prove this statement Commissioner
Garfield's agents are still collecting evidence
in the Kansas field and l do not think
they are experiencing any difficulty in get
ting all they want. We have secured pledges
gulf amounting to more than N,0O0Wo.
About e000, 900 may be needed. but
think il is only a question of time until we
shall carry the project to a successful con-
clusion.'

Double lines of men and women still ap-
preached from either side of the city hall
portico. Although crowds had filed past
the guarded bier from noon to late last
night, there were hundreds more just as
eager today. They wanted to eye
witnesses this strange spare figure out of
the past.
Not since President Grant was similarly

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 1s.-Just as it
began to look as though there would be no
contests of any kind in the republican
state convention of next week and all the
nominations would be made by acclamation
and without opposition comes the report
that the friends of Senator Foraker intend
to offer a resolution indorsing the candi-
dacy of the senator for the presidential
nomination in 190S If not pledgng the
state to his support at that time
Foraker men here say that the fact that
the candidacy of President Roosevelt, not
an Ohio man, was indorsed year in ad-
vance of the presidential election gives
ample ground for the action at this time,
and will require the friends of the President
to favor at least the consideration of such a
resolution at this time. They also say that
Governor Herrick cannot afford to oppose
it.
The convention will be easily controlled
by the governor, however, and the resou
tion can be squelched in the committee on
resolutions, If offered there, and rule
could prevent its considera ton If presented
from the floor of the convention.
