.tributions by Banks.
Washington, Dec. 8.-The senate
has passed the resolution of Senator
Tillman calling on the secretary of
the treasury for information as to
whether reports of examiners show
whether or not national banks make
contributions to political campaigns.
In addressing the senate in favor OF
the adoption of the resolution Mr..
Tillman said that the secretary of the
treasury has means of getting infor-
nation which others have not and
added that if he would push in his
probe he can make discoveries that
are worth while" He added that his
reasons for requesting the informa-
ton are found in the revelations con-
cerning the insurance companies. ut
has been shown by the testimony or
confession of member OF this body,
he said, that for ten years the lnSur-
ance corporations have been making
annual donations to the Republican
party with the understanding that
they should be protected from adverse
legislation at Albany" He went on
to say that such revelations were not
agreeable.

Opposes Section Homesteads.

"Those of us in eastern Colorado
who have been familiar with the work
ing Of the section homestead law in
western Nebraska want none of it for
u.s." said MI w. H. Gerdts of Cope,
who was in the city for few days
this week. "There have been a few
people in our section who have advo-
Gated such law for eastern Colorado,
but the more w see of the way the
plan works in Nebraska. the more GER
tain are we that we 90 not want it.
Where very few might be benefited,
the majority would suffer. In Nebraska
most of the homesteads taken up under
that law have changed hands already
four or five times and very few of them
will ever be proved up. A single sec
tion of such land is worth nothing to
anyone. 1t is impossible to raise any
cattle on such small amount of this
land, and with the adjoining lands
taken up the cattle business is prac-
tically ruined for every use, and as the
country is not farming country, it be-
comes neither one thing or the other
The effect of the law in Nebraska has
been an actual setback. Men have
come in there and taken up a section,
thinking they would get rich. They
had nothing when they came, and 1t
was just question of how long they
could go hungry. | am certain that we
want nothing of that kind in eastern
Colorado.
What we would like to see, how
ever, is some kind of law that will en-.
able the people to use our grazing
lands in sensible and economical
manner. We have proven to our sat
isfaction that where the grazing of our
lands can be controlled we can have as
good grass as the range ever produced
where we have it under fence and can
prevent ove1-grazing at the wrong
time. 1t is almost a crime that our
government should not give us some
laws that would allow us to use the
range properly.-Denver Record-Stock-

MUTINEERs SURRENDER.
Crew of the kniaz Potemkine Deliver
Ship to Roumanian Officers.

Kustenji, Roumania, July 9.-The
flag of St. Andrew once again floats
over the battleship Potemkine and the
torpedo boat, which have proved such
terrorS to the Black sea communities
for a couple of weeks past.
The formal surrender of the mutin-
Gus crews actually occurred at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon after a series of
discussions and negotiations between
the Roumanian authorities and the
leaders of the mutineers.
The Roumanan officers who boarded
the battleship on her arrival here called
upon the crew to surrender. in which
case they would be treated as foreign
deserterS, or elee leave the port forth

II speedily became apparent that the
Russian vessels returned to this port
with the intention of giving themselves
up to foreign government and the
crews soon announced their acceptance
of the Roumaniap terms.
The mutineers wanted to take off the
treasure which was on board the Kniaz
Potemkine but the authorities de-
clined to acquiesce.
The Russians gradually will be con-
veyed to any frontier they may select
and will be liberated, the local officials
having given an understanding to this
effect
The Roumanian flag has been hoisted
over Che Russian war vessels as we'll

THE FARM AND RANGE
To Combat Wheat Rust.

W. H. Olin, professor Of agronomy at
the State Agricultural College, mas
written an important letter concerning
wheat rust. He asks farmers through
out the state to furnish him with data
regarding the effects of rust ON their
wheat crops and when the rust first at
tackled it.
For years the Agricultural college ex-
perts have been working toward the
development of wheat to resist rust and
all information bearing on the subject
is of the utmost Importance.
Professor Olin's letter is as follows:
On account of weather conditions l
find that rust is beginning to set in,
and the chances are that wheat will be
as severely, If not more severely, rusted
this season than last.
Reports which received last fall in
dicated that forty-six per cent. of the
wheat grown in Colorado was stricken
with rust more or less seriously.
This is one of the plant diseases that
is the very hardest for the farmer to
combat, since we have no known rem
edy that has proven effectual. l would
be very much pleased if your readers
would be willing to drop me postal
card telling me when rust first attacked
their wheat this season.
l wish the farmers also to note the
progress of the disease and keep me
posted as to its effect upon the yield
and quality of grain harvested. We
need to know how badly our small
grain is being affected in these years
when we have an excess of rainfall.
| am satisfied if farmers will lessen
the amount. of irrigation SO that the
wheat will only receive the normal
amount of water given in dry years:
that this will have the tendency to
check serious injury from rust.
The rust is known to cause the great
est injury to grain from the time it ap-
pears in blossom through the milk
stage and into the soft dough stage.
Probably the greatest injury will be
done in just a very few days.
1t is therefore advisable for farmers
now to examine their grain fields to see
if rust has begun its ravages. | would
be pleased if l could know the result of
this examination.
Address W. H. Olin, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station, Fort Collins, Colo
rado. Yours very truly,
w. H. OLIN.

which seems to have been equally
felicitous in being in demand. On the

him a note-you have it in your hand.
The man took it and read it, before
he realized that it was not intended
for him, in fact as the opening shows,
it was for a woman. He half smiled,
thinking of the pages stupidity, and
that he had happened upon a liaison
of that most virtuous King. He was
giving it back to the lad, when some

who planned the dastardly deed was
only too well aware of his sensitive
nature. Lord Waters joined Crom-

meantime gone to France. He loved
his first wife so dearly that, believing
in her infidelity, she was dead to him
henceforth. Later he married again.

Beet pulp for Cattle.

A bulletin will be issued very shortly
by Professor Carlyle of the State Ev-
pertinent Station on the results of the
feeding experiment of last winter. Ex-
tensive tests We're made last winter
and cattlemen in general are anxious
to learn the result.
The bulletin will be one of the most
interesting and important ever pub
lished in Colorado, and will bring out
some facts in relation to the feeding
value of alfalfa, corn and beet pulp
never before discovered.
The experiment shows that it took
2S6 pounds of alfalfa hay to produce
one pound of gain in the average two
year old steer. 1t will show that 3.25
pounds of beet pulp equals one pound
Of hay in feeding value, and that three
pounds of hay is equal to one pound
of corn in feeding value.
In the experiment the ration of ai-
falfa, corn and pulp produced nineteen
pounds of gain per week in the average
steer. Those fed pulp and hay made
an average gain of about thirteen
pounds. The hay and corn ration made
a gain of about twelve ald halI
pounds per week, and or hay alone
the grain was about ten pounds each
most profitable ration.-Denver News.
When sweet clover is kept in check
by moving it is not harmful plant to
grow in an orchard and perhaps it
might even be beneficial. 1t is legu-
minous plant which takes it's nitrogen
from the air and tends to increase the
fertility of the soil rather than to ex-
haust it. Its deep-root system also
tends to improve the soil texture. Dur
ing dry season rank growth might
exhaust the soil moisture to such de-
gree as to injure the orchard crop, but
with plenty of irrigation no bad effects
should result from this cause. Besides
benefiting the soil the plant is also of
great value as honey-producer and
everybody with whom we have talked
is quite pleased that brakes bill
against it fell down in the last Legis-
lature. 1t usually grows only in waste
places where some kind of weed Is
bound to grow. 1t does not bother in
grass lands or in cultivated fields. II
an orchard is seeded to grass and
moved frequently, the sweet clover
will soon disappear.-Field and Farm.
