Lamb and Sheep Feeders.

Denver, Jan. 1.-THE Fort Collins
Express prints dle names of 36S per-
sons and firms in MOI ,nern Colorado
who are feeding in the aggregate G27.-
367 sheep and lambs, the smallest lot
mentioned being 300 and the largest
1850. The first includes five lots Of
over 5000 each. The article says:
Herewith is presented a corrected
list of the lamb and sheep-feeders in
Northern Colorado and 1t is the most
complete and accurate that has ever
been made. While perhaps of little in
terest to some or most, it is of great
value to a few. and its compilation is
worth while. 1t demonstrates very
conclusively what the possibilities OF
Northern Colorado are in the way of
lamb feeding, and with an increased
output of beet-pulp from the factories.
the number of head on feed will almost
certainly increase from year to year.
1t appears that the number of lambs
and sheep on feed in this part of the
state is: Larimer county. including
Fort Collins. Loveland, Berthoud ard
Timnath, 413.092; Boulder county,
(Longmont) estimated, 10000; Weld
county, including Greeley, (partly esti-
mated) Eaton and Windsor, 174,275.
Total, 627.367. This is by far the larg-
est number ever put on feed in the
history of the industry. 1t is almost
certain that the feeders will net nearly
# not quite $3.50 per head.

pOLYGAnY DYING
so SAY SHOOTS. WITNESSES.
Sentiment of Mormon People in Utah
Declared to Be Against PoIyga-
nous Marriages.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Three wit
nesses for the defense in the Smoot
case yesterday testified that polygamy
was dying out in Utah so rapidly that
there was no need of prosecutions.
1t was declared that the younger
Mormons are all opposed to polygamy,
and that If they thought it was taught
there would be a revolution in the
church.
1t was admitted that Senator Smoot
got the consent of the church to be-
come a candidate for senator. but only
in the form of leave of absence from
his church duties, and 1t was declared
that he could have been nominated and
elected without 1t.
j. w. N. Whitecotton, an attorney OF
Provo, Utah, resumed his review OF
political affairs in Utah when the hear
ing opened to-day. No effort was made
by the church, he said, to restrict the
political liberties of the people gener-
ally, or of any individuals, but it
claimed the right to receive the time
and energies of men who have been
elected to important church Offices.
The deduction he drew was that the
church did not try to prevent its men,
berS from engaging In polltlcs Without
the consent of the church, but that
when certain members accepted i'm
portant church offices the church had
a right to prevent such members from
accepting other offices which would
take their time. Mr.. Whitecotton said
he never had seen any difference in
business between Mormon and Gentle,
but he thought the Mormon voters ad-
hered more closely than the Gentiles
to their party Affiliations.
1t was shown by the witness that
Gentiles had always held the most inn
portant state offices and that Gentle
judges who had been active in sentenc-
ing Mormons for polygamous cohabi-
tation received as large vote as other
candidates when they came up for re-
election.
81 think the decided sentiment of
the Mormon people in Utah is hostile
to polygamy," said Mr.. Whitecotton.

Grand Valley Shipments.

Denver, Jan. 14.-In response to In
quiries made by General Passenger
Agent c. H. Speers of the Colorado
Midland railway, the Grand Junction
Chamber of Commerce states that the
total amount of business of the Fruit
Growers Association of Grand juno
ton during 1904 amounted to $751;
291.11, and 1t is estimated that the
fruit growers received over s400 900
in cash for their product.
In addition to this. the orchards of
F'ruita, Debeque, Palisade and White
water shipped over 100000 worth of
fruit, making a total of more than
s750.000 for the fruit growers of the
Grand Valley for the past year.

Daughters Death Kills Mother.

Denver, Jan. ia Fort Collins
dispatch last night says: A telegram
was received here to-day from Council
Bluffs. stating that Mrs. Alice Learn
ard, formerly of Fort Collins, died
there this morning. Last Monday Mr..
and Mrs. Learnard, who lived at Trim
idad, where Mr.. Learnard is joint
ticket agent for the Santa F'e. Rio
Grande and Colorado and Southern
roads, were notified that their only
daughter, Mrs. Ina Apted, was critic
ally Ill and might not recover. They
started from Trinidad at once, hoping
to see the stricken woman before she
passed away. They were too late,
however. as Mrs. Apted died Tuesday,
three hours before they reached her
bedside. The shock was too great for
Mrs. Learnard. and she survived her
daughter but three days. The Learn
ards for many years were residents of
Fort Collins, Mr.. Learnard being sta
ton agent there for ten years.

Three Lecturers viii Soon Take TIE
Field in Different Sections.

Denver Jan. 15.-Three lecturers
are to start out within the next twenty
days preaching the gospel of Coloraso,
and will make a thorough campaign of
the country before the seascl of sum
mer travel begins.
At a meeting held recently the Colo
RADIO Real Estate Association in
structed the directors to make con-
tracts for lectures. Yesterday they
closed three contracts. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert MoClurg, who have travelled for
three years in the interest of the ex-
change, are to go out again. They will
travel only in the lSrger cities, where
they already are well known. They
open on February LIST at Kansas City
and the next stop will be at Omaha.
They will continue on East for the
next four or five months. Mr.. and
Mrs. McClurg have made a signal sue
cess with this work. as they reach a
class of persons who usually are pretty
hard to draw into a lecture room. At
Washington last year Thomas Walsh
took charge of their lecture and spent
about $4,000 in making it a go, but he
had the president, Admiral Dewey,
General Chaffee and hundreds of other
distinguished men and women there to
hear of the glories of Colorado.
waiter G. Brandenburg VIII start
about the same time and will take in
Nebraska and Iowa and later other
middle states. He is being booked by
Page Winslow, who has had large ex-
perience in that sort of work. He has
rewritten his lecture and has new
slides, all devoted to Colorado.
George w. Irwin, a Colorado plat
form man, formerly teacher in Cone
los county is to travel in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Missouri. He has devoted
much time to scientific agriculture
and will talk specially on irrigation
and kindred subjects.
Mr.. Brandenburg carries letters
from the Epworth League and will
make special appeal to the Leaguers
to come here for the great convention.
Later he will do the same sort of work
among the Grand Army men.
All the lecturers will have advance
agents and carry fine lanterns.

Children May Ride to School.

Denver, Jan. 16.-A News special
from Longmont, Colorado. says: A
great deal of agitation has been dis
played among the farmers here of late
in favor of the passage of new school
law which will make possible the cen
tralization of rural schools and the
transportation of pupils to such schools
in the same manner as has been done
in Ohio and several eastern states.
This matter was first agitated in the
Farmers Institute two years ago, but
they were too late to get bill before
the Legislature. This year such bill
has been framed and will be intro
duced by Representative ]. B. Thomp-
son. The law already provides for
uniting contiguous districts, but makes.
no provision for conveyance of pupils.
Several districts in this vicinity, it is.
thoight, will take advantage OF such
law if 1t is passed.

cient acreage of beets-3. .500-was
pledged. These pledges were secured
by the improvement association, which
in turn pledged the beets to the sugar
trust.
The beet contracts run for period
of three years. beginning with 1906.
For the first year the growers will re
ceive $4.75 per ton for their product,
and s5 per ton for the second and third
years. John Schoeple has been APP

An interesting coincidence in con-
nection with the operations OF the po-
litical brothers of the Adams family is
called to public attention by Clay's
Review of last week:
1.-TWO years ago when Franklin E.
Brooks defeated Alva Adams for the
Office of ongressman-at-large Conejos
county, where Brother BILLY" Adams
lives, gave Alva fifteen hundred ma
jority. at the same time returning ma
jorities against all the other Demo-
cratic candidates.
Last November in Denver, where
Brother Frank Adams operates the po-
lice machine Alva got about four
thousand more votes on the face of the
returns than any other Democratic
candidate"
What brother Billee Adams did for
Alva two years ago in Conejos brother
Frank did for him in Denver last No
vember. The indications point very
strongly to the probability that the
long political lane which the Adams
trio have been traversing so long has
a sharp turn just ahead. A. p.
