Some Pertinent F acts

In politically speaking of newspaper as an officials organ" is meant one that endorses the actions of such off, cial. A newspaper, which, during political campaign. champions the cause of a particular candidate for office, is spoken of as that candidates organ The Yukon Valley News says it ''has never been the organ of Judge Wicker sham" still it is an undisputed fact that the News endorses his past cor rupt official acts in saying it ''has ad- mired Judge Wickersham' ability and believed in his integrity, and is fully convinced that the good of the district will be furtherd by his retention in of- fce.'' That statement alone. without considering what it has said heretofore, places the Yukon Valley News, politi- cally and officially as Wickersham ''organ." The News also says: No obligations exist between the Judge and this newspaper"
 It is a we'll known fact that the pro- prietor of the Yukon Valley News se- cured liquor license from Judge Wick ersham which enabled him to enter into partnership with. and retail at Panama. liquors belonging to man to whom Judge Wickersham refused to grant liquor license.
 It is fact that the proprietor of the Yukon Valley News is at the present time, contrary to law, conducting saloon in tent, retailing liquors there in, in Rampant precinct, under license granted by Judge Wickersham in the face of citizens protest. /
 It is well known fact that the pro- prietor of the Yukon Valley News de- monstrated his connection with the Wickersham administration while a member of the Federal grand jury at Rampant in 1903.
 The proprietor of the Yukon Valley News was connected with Wickershams regime for two years being privileged supply contractor in the furnishing of wood for court house and jail at Ram part.

Western bank to have the deed OF as
signment set aside and a receiver ap-
pointed for the assets. In the COM
plant the officers and directors of the
bank are specifically charged with
fraud in conspiring and confederating
to divest themselves of liability by

made serious charges against the off,
cials of the Denver National bank and
also those of his own institution. He

Coarse Grass for Coverings.

On many of our Colorado ranches is
to be found a coarse slough grass that
grows in wet places which is valuable
as a cover for several kinds of for
age that will not shed rain when put
up. In an early day this grass was not
of much value. as cattle would not eat
it unless compelled by hunger and then
they did not thrive upon it. This grass
is especially valuable for topping out
stocks of alfalfa or native hay. 1t
makes the best covering when it is put
on as fast as it comes from the mower.
Then it is heavy and settles down
firmly on the stacks, and if it is Tapped
over on the sides it will keep the hay
perfectly. If tame hay is put up in
this way and weighted with wire and
some heavy substance, but small loss
will result from the elements. 1t will
pay to top out all tame hay stacks and
stacks of loose grain with this slough
hay. Oat straw stacked early is apt
to be badly damaged. but cover of
slough hay will keep it. Slough hay
also makes the best of covering for
temporary sheds. The sheds may have
a covering of strawy to make bulk and
then finished with the green slough
grass.-Field and Farm.

NORWAY FOR SEPARATION.
Almost Unanimous Vote for Dissolu.
tion of Union With sAeden.

Christiania, Aug. 13.-The Norwe-
gian people, in referendum vote
taken to-day, pronounced in favor of
the dissolution of the union with Swe-
den with remarkable though not un-
expected unanimity. OF 900 voters
100000 cast ballots.
While the full result will not be
known for some hours. up to midnight
returns showed that about one person
in 5000 voted against the dissolution.
The difference between the total num-
ber of voters and the number of votes
cast is attributed to absentees, such
as sailors abroad and others who are
out of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise signed petitions in the
streets endorsing the dissolution. In
Christiania and other cities the total
population turned out. every one wear

Argentine Railway Incorporated.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 12.-Clear Creek
county, it is planned, is to have new
railroad, which is not only to tap the
rich Argentine mineral district, but
will give the Colorado & Southern con.
nection for a grand scenic trip.
Papers were filed yesterday with
the secretary of state for the Argen-
tine Central Railway Company, with a
capital stock of 100000. The direc-
tors named are Edward j. Wilcox,
James Magee, Jacob Fillius, Simon E.
Writ and George Richardson. The
principal offices of the company are to
be in Denver.
According to the Incorporation pa
pers, the road is to be constructed

A special train loaded up with ex-
perts and dairy paraphernalia is now
travelling through Kansas and Missouri
giving instructions along dairy lines to
those who come to hear in the various
towns. The lecturers are hired by a
big creamery concern operating in that
section.
The sheepmen in southern New Mex
leo shear twice a year-in the spring
and fall. The wool grades fine medium
and medium and is mostly a rather
short staple. A few have adopted the
method of shearing only once a year.
but it is the general opinion among
them that the sheep do better and are
more free from scab when shorn twice
a year. The last shearing occurs in
October.
The following method of weaving
calves has proven complete success:
Mix together one tablespoonful of
Norwegian tar, one teaspoonful of
aloes and lard or vaseline enough to
give 1t the consistency OF thick oint-
ment. Keep the calves away, say for
a night. In the morning milk the COW,
smear her teats well with this mixture.
then give the calf a chance. The taste
of this mixture will disgust any calf.
Two or three applications have cured
the worst cases.

THE FARM AND RANGE
FARMING on One Acre.

Can q man make q living from one
acre Of land? This question has arisen
as a result of the determination ex-
pressed by Anthony p. Canny of Potts
Vile. Pennsylvania. who announces his
intentions of purchasing one acre of
land at vineland for the purpose OF
testing his belief that this small tract
will support him and his wife and
young boy. Mr.. Canny recently came
to Colorado for his health. He is a
man Of small means and had but little
money to invest in land. His physi-
clans in the East warned him against
attempting to do manual labor and ad-
vised him to purchase just as little
land as he could possibly produce a
living from, in order to minimize his
work until the outdoor life and invig-
Grating climate gave him strength to
work bigger farm.
Mr.. Canny is a resourceful man and
he determined that what had been
done in California can be done in Colo
rado.
True, his farm will not produce
everything raised on the California
model farm. but he argues that he will
be able to raise products that would be
impossible in California.
In his eastern home Mr.. Canny had
a garden that was pointed out as a
model. He expeimented with vegeta-
bles and flowers, and although he had
nothing but the back yard of 140x
60foot lot he produced sufficient vege-
tables to supply his table. with a good
quantity left for sale. 1t was tkis ex-
perience that led him to believe that
with irrigation he could utilize every
foot of an acre and make living for
his family while nursing himself back
to health.
Mr.. Canny has purchased some rare
seeds and cuttings for experimental
purposes. He will set aside a small
portion of the garden upon which to
experiment. and he will endeavor to
prove that Colorado's fertile soil is
capable of even greater results in the
production of horticultural specimens.
He will experiment largely with valua-
BILE plants and flowers rather than
with vegetables. as it is from the rarer
specimens of plant life that he ex-
poets to derive his profits from the al
most toy-like farm. relying upon the
vegetables to supply his table with the
necessities
The results OF Mr.. Canny's Robinson
Crusoe experiment will be watched
with interest. Many say he is fore
doomed to failure. as they point QUE
that many large farms barely provide
a living for their tenants. But Mr..
Canny valves these objections aside
with the assertion that their larger
farms do not pay because they do not
work systematically, owing to size. He
expresses confidence in his ability to
duplicate the performance of the Cali
fornian. Clerk. and he promises to add
his one-acre farm in Vineland to the
famed spots in Colorado.-Pueblo

Julesburg was visited by $4,000 loss
by fire to-day. The large grain eleva-
tor belonging to c. +. Illings and the
lumber and coal sheds adjacent were
totally destroyed. The fire started in
the cupola of the elevator from a
spark thrown by a locomotive. Only
favorable wind and the strenuous
efforts of citizens prevented the entire
business section of the town burning.
The loss is partially covered by insur-
ance. The elevator and lumber yards

the vast audience in the great amphi-

Enthusiastically.
President Roosevelt began the deliv-
cry OF his address at 11:05- He said:
To-day l wish to speak to you on
the feature of Our national foreign pol
fey and one feature of our national do
nestle policy.
The Monroe doctrine is not a part
Of international law. But 1t is the fun
damental feature of our entire foreign
policy, SO far as the Western hemis-
phere Is concerned, and it has more
and more been meeting with recogni-
ton abroad. The reason why it is
meeting with this recognition is be-
cause we have not allowed it to be-
come fossilized, but have adapted our
construction OF it to meet the growing.
changing needs of this hemisphere.
Fossilization. of course. means death.

ment,, or doctrine.
las regards the Monroe doctrine
we must recognize the fact that in
some South American countries there
has been much suspicion lest we
should interpret the Monroe doctrine
in some way inimical to their inter
ests. Now, let it be understood once
for all that no just and orderly govern
ment on this continent has anything
to fear from US.
"It must be understood that under no
circumstances will the United States
use the Monroe doctrine as a cloak
for territorial aggression. Should any
OF our neighbors, no matter how tur-
bulent, how disregardfuI of our rights,
finally get into such position that the
utmost limits Of our forbearance are
reached, all the people south of us
may rest assured that no action will
ever be taken save what is absolutely
demanded by our self-respect; that
this action will not take the form of
territorial aggrandizement on our
part"
The President, in discussing the
trust problem, said:
THE enormous increase in inter
state trade makes it proper that the
federal government should, so far as
may be necessary to carry into effect
its national policy, assume degree of
administrative control Of these great
corporations
Certain meat packers

tai action OF far more drastic type.
We must not try to go too fast, un-
der penalty of finding that We may be
going in the wrong direction; and, in
any event, we ought always to pro-
ceed by evolution. and not by revolu-
tion.
THE laws must be conceived and
executed in a spirit of sanity and jus.
tice, and with exactly as much regard
for the rights of the big man as for
the rights of the little man-treatins

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
ABSTINENCE UNION AND MINERS
Two Hundred Thousand People Gath.
cred At Temperance and Labor
Day Celebration.

LAY SGtcoTAkious
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
President of the United States, who
came here yesterday and made an ad-
dress to the delegates attending tho
annual convention Of the Catholic
Abstinence Union of America and the
members Of the United Mine Workers
of America. was given a most enthusi-
astic reception The greatest crowd
that the city ever had within its con-
fines was In the city and it is esti-
mated the visitors numbered upward
Of 10000.
Besides the President those who
spoke were Cardinal Gibbons, Mayor
Kirkendale of this city. John Mitchell.
president OF the miners union, and
Rev. ]. J. Curran of this city, dis
trict president of the Catholic Absti-
nence union.
The President said:
Il am particularly glad to speak to
this audience of miners and their
wives and children. and especially to
speak under the auspices of this great
temperance society. In our country
the happiness Of all the rest of our
people depends most of all upon the
welfare of the wage worker and the
welfare of the farmer. II we can Be-
cure the welfare of these two classes
we can be reasonably certain that
the community as a whole will pros
per. And we must never forget that
the chief factor in securing the well
fare alike of the wage worker and of
g.. - i II
be tne man himself.
THE only effective way to help any
body il, to help him help himself.
There are exceptional times when any
one of us needs outside help. and then
it should be given freely, but normally
each one OF us must depend upon his
own exertions for his own success.
Something can be done by wise legis-
lation and by wise and honest admin
is-ration of the laws: that is, some
thing can be done by our action taken
in our collective capacity through the
state and the nation.
Something more can be done by
combination and organization among
ourselves in our private capacities as
citizens, SO long as this combination
or organization is managed with wis.,
dom and integrity, with insistence
upon the rights of those benefited and
yet with just regard for the rights Of
others.
But in the last analysis the factor
most influential in determining any
mans success must ever be the sum
of that mans own qualities, OF his
knowledge, foresight, thrift and cour-
age. Whatever tends to increase his
self-respect, whatever tends to help
him overcome the temptations with
which all of US are surrounded, is OF
benefit not only to him but to the
whole community.
No one society can do more to help
the wage worker than such a temper
ance society as that which / am now
addressing. 1t is of incalculable con-
sequence to the man himself that he
should be sober and temperate, and it
is OF even more consequence to his
wife and his children; for it is a hard
and cruel fact that in this life of ours
the sins of the man are often visited
most heavily upon those whose well
fare should be his one special care.
