Cars Message Commended.

st Petersburg. Aug. Emperor
Nicholas martial message to the Oren-
burgh clergy, in which he expressed
his determination never to conclude
peace dishonorable to Russia or un-
worthy of her greatness, and which
was gazetted yesterday, is reprinted
in every paper in Russia to-day. 1t
has struck responsive chord in many
quarters, even among the friends of
peace.
The emperor's words, however, by
no means bear out the construction
placed upon them by the jubilant war
party, nor do they at all exclude the
idea of a successful termination of
the approaching negotiations at Ports
mouth, but they certainly strengthen
the militant spirit aroused by the
cabled versions of the Sato interviews
and the cold figures representing the
supposed extent of the contribution

NEW LEADvILLE LINE
Over Argentine Pass From Silver
Plume.


Denver, Aug. 2-The Republican
this morning says: A new railroad
that will make short line between
Denver and Leadville and one that
will reduce the distance between those
cities from 151 to ninety-five miles, is
under contemplation by the Colorado
& Southern and is to be constructed
soon, according to officials of that
road.
The new line will be narrow guage
and will connect the present terminus
Plume, thus cutting off a wide detour
that is now necessary to reach Lead
vile from the eastern side of the
mountains.
p. ]. Wilcox, a mining man, has
made announcement that he intends
to construct narrow guage line
from the c. & s. terminus at Silver
Plume over Leavenworth mountain.
This is to be the Argentine scenic
route and will be nine or ten miles in
length.
The contemplated C. & S. extension
will meet this on the western side of
the mountains, thus forming link
between Silver Plume and Keystone.
The entire distance to be covered by
the proposed lines is less than thirty
gentine pass is considered by G. e. s..
officials to be of much strategic i'm
portance, as it will be a much shorter
way from Denver to Leadville than
any other.

REGISTERED FOR LAND
FIRST DAY AT GRAND JUNCTION
Rush of Land Seekers Not Excessive
All Applications Can Be At
tended to With Ease.


Denver, Aug. "A News special
from Grand Junction last night says:
Registration for the opening Of the
Ulntah reservation began here at o
o'clock this morning, with over 1000
persons in line, 300 of whom had re-
manned up all night at the doors of
the registry office.
After 4:30 this afternoon 1898 appli-
cants for land has been recorded and
the registry office was closed at that
hour until 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, for lack of applicants. The regis
tration to-day demonstrated that the
registry officials will easily handle the
work here unless there be an unex-
pected number of excursionists rushed
in at the last moment.
Trains to Grand Junction to-day
brought 900 people and whatever por-
ton of these presented themselves at
the registration office was cared for
along with the others. The entry office
can accommodate 5000 applicants a
day with ordinary effort, and a thou
sand additional in pinch.
Consequently the outlook is cheer
full for an orderly. expeditions and sat
isfactory reception of all who come
1t was estimated by the registry
clerks that between $50 and 200
women registered to-day. Some appii-
cations by soldiers and sailors through
agents were rejected because the forms
had not been properly filled out. In
most cases there is still ample time to
rectify the errors and secure registra-
tion before August 18th, when the Of
fee closes.
The speed with which the applicants
were passed through the registry Of
flee, entered in the books and sent on
their way astonished dubious people
who had expected slower work and pos
sibly blockade. Before noon the rush
was AL over. At that hour there was a
lull and the clerks ate lunch.
When the office opened at 1 o'clock
there were not more than 100 men in
line. The arrival on the midday
trains augmented these by 400, but in
an hour or two the work had slackened
again.
The Midland train from Denver at
1870 O'CLOCK brought 800 land-seekers.
The Denver & Rio Grande arriving i'm
mediately after the Midland, brought
as many more. The Grand Junction
station was alive with people when the
passengers from both trains had dis
embarked. The land boomers moved
uptown in cloud of dust. afoot and in
vehicles, accompanied by much clamor
and excitement.
Many of the prospective homeseek-
ers who arrived in the morning took
outbound trains as soon as they could
get away. The railway station was a
bustling place all day. Travellers are
met at the depot by land agents
loaded with Uintah literature, by no
taries' agents seeking business, hotel
runners and Others, and from the mo-
ment they enter town all are subjected
to all kinds of business proposals. The
| place thus far has had no trouble in
accommodating all who have arrived
| The temporary restaurants and bunk
houses are doing rushing business.
1t Is expected that the registry clerks
will have no trouble to register all who
come tomorrow. Captain Valley and
his staff are experts at their business

istering LOO men in one day.

as the railroads were thrown into this
region it became possible for this beef
to be shipped to Europe and the
foreign trade began. The foreign
market demanded a beef that had
been finished on grain, and this was
the kind of beef the American farmer
began to send abroad. The Canadian
beef raiser could not compete with the
Yankee beef raiser, because he had
no corn on which to finish his cattle.
The opening of the Western ranges
did not at first greatly affect the
foreign market, or even the best of
the home markets, because the West
ern range beeve was a scrub animal
with long legs and long horns. He
had great deal of sinew but rel
atively small proportion of high
priced cuts. Within this generation,
however. all has been changed. The
ranchmen have bought bulls of the
improved breeds and have changed
the character of their herds, till even
the European market will take them
if they are properly finished.

Industrial Alcohol.

This is a matter that interests every
agriculturist, not only those who
raise crops which may be turned
into alcohol, but also those who use
cheap or small engines for power. In
Germany enormous quantities of po-
tatOes are turned into achOhOl every
year for use as fuel and for other in
dustraI purposes where a nOndrink-
able alcohol can be used.
The following editorial from the
Ohio Farmer covers the ground and
is interesting and valuable.
The great number of ways in which
alcohol may be prOfitably used makes
it very important factor in the in
1ustrial world. Its varied uses are not
commonly known, aside from it's use
as Il beverage, and in medicine. 1t
is a necessity in the manufacture of
over a thousand different commodities
1t is used largely i'm the manufacture
of varnisheS, 1acquers- gliding and
brOnzing; is a solvent in the stiffen-
ing of hats and shoe tips; in the manu-
facture of smokeless power, cellulOid,
Photographic films and Illuminating
paper for gun caps; in the manufac-
ture of dyes for silk, cotton and wooden
goods, wall paper, printers ink, and
as a fiXative for cOlOrs i'm dyeing. Be
sides its use in the arts of the manu-
facturer must be reckOned its wide
usefulness in cleansing, heating, light
ing, etc. These last two features
high cost, and its use in the many
ways mentioned above is greatly cur
tailed for the same reason. The al
cOhOl light is little known in this
country but we recently examined a
French alcohol lamp that made a
brilliant. though soft, white light, an
ideal light to read and study by, and
which, but for the high tax on alcohol,
would be an economical one. 1t works

The Question of Fertility.

If there is any question of fertility
that has been considered settled it
is that soil destitute of humus would
not support vegetation. Yet here
is a report from correspondent, of
the Southern Planter, i'm which he
shows conclusively that plants will
sometimes grow thriftily on soil which
is entirely devoid of humas. How do
YOU account for it?
have previously given, i'm the
Southern Planter, some observation on
soil fertility. This summer l have
something additional to tell. In
digging cellar for sweet pO-
tatoes. l threw the dirt on top
of the ground at various places
where it seemed to be most needed.
1t was i'm the barn that l was eXcava-
ting the cellar. and some millet seed
got mixed with the clay that was
thrown out The weather has been
very wet, and these seeds sprouted
and came up. | noticed bunch of
the millet yesterday growing rank in
the pure clay i'm which there was not
a particle of humus mixed. Nor did
the roots appear to reach through to
the original surface below. =
This case gives rise to various re-
Elections. We are told that humus
is necessary to soil fertility, but there
was no humus here. Again, we are
told that if we turn up clay subsoil
by deep plowing, it should be done
i'm the fall so the winter freeze may
fit the raw clay to give up its plant
food. but i'm the case described the
clay was thrown up only three or
four weeks ago and the growth took
place Immediately. l may further
state that old clay fields, as usually
cultivated, are very unproductlye,
while this clay bank from my cellar
is just the reverse.

found by experience to be very pro-

conservative authority says, i'm this
connections: ''The facts are so obvious
that it is only question of time when
every farmer will have one to aid in
all the varied work of the farm At
present the only available fuel for
these engines, and for automobiles,
motor cycles, power boats, etc, is
gasoline, which is constantly increaS-
ing in price. At the same time it is
more obnoxious and more dangerous
than alcohol would be. If it were pos
sible to get alcohol at a reasonable
price it would quickly displace gaso-
line. One of the greatest arguments
| favorng the use of alcohol as fuel
and light is the fact that then each
neghborhoOd could have it's own fuel
and lighting material from its own
| farm products.
The one thing that stands in the
way of development of great indus
| trial alcohol production in this cOun-
| try is the heavy tax imposed upon all
grain alcohol under our internal rev.
enue law. This tax amounts to 81. 10
per gallon on proof spirits, contain

| this basis upon commercial, "a per

gallon. making it impossible to utilize
such alcohol in the arts or manufac-
lures with profit. Were it not for this
heavy tax Industrial alcohol could be
produced prof tably at 15c to zoe per
gallon. We would not even suggest the
removal of the tax from alcohol man
(ufactured for use as beverages. The
tax on such products is all right and
is an important source of revenue to
our national government. But let all

beverage. in such a way that they
will still be useful as fuel, light, sOlv-
ents. etc This can be done, and has
been done i'm other countries for many
years The United States is the only
great nation that now imposes
heavy tax on industrial alcOhOlS. No
such tax is imposed in England,
France, Germany, Russia. Holland,
Denmark Norway, Sweden, Austria,
Switzerland, Italy and several other
countries. This country does not tax
the manufacture of wood alcohol; why
should grain alcohol be taxed when
it is made unfit for use as beverage!
One of the leading arguments that
some men will present against the re-
mOval of the tax is that it will cut
down the national revenues. Not to
amy great extent. BY removing the
tax on denaturized, fiOn-drinkable al
cOhOl, the use of alcohol for that pur-
pose would not be lessened at all, and
it would still pay its tax. The only
cases where denaturiZed alcohol could
replace ordinary grain alcohol would
be in the manufacture of high grade
yarnishes and certain chemicals. 1t
