No Cause For Alarm.

AS the Post has already stated the
passage of the Philippine tariff bill
will, at the worst, have no more effect
on the sugar industry than possibly
to prevent the erection of new sugar
factories. When it is remembered
that in the entire Philippine islands
there is an area equal to only about
half the area of the state of Colorado.
and not one tenth of that area is cult
waited. and the further fact that the
natives are too lazy to accomplish
a great deal in agriculture or any
thing else, we may as we'll spare our
selves any uneasiness in regard to
the future of the sugar industry in
Colorado.
To show how insignificant is the
amount of sugar now being produced
in the Philippines it is only neces.
sary to say that if the entire present
sugar product of the islands was ship
ped to California it would not supply
the local demand. While Colorado
republicans did not favor the bill, and
all the Colorado representatives vot.
ed against it, to say that it will par.
alyze the sugar industry in this state
is about as senseless as to say that
the proposed grazing tax will drive
F.! the >tockmen out of business. Both
! statements are made for the purpose
of making political capital, and neith-
er is justified by the facts.-Glenwood

Destructive Prairie Fire.

| Last saturday evening the horizon
as seen from Julesburg indicated that
prairie fires were burning at some dis
tance east and also northwest of town.
The one noticed in the east seems to
have been in Keith county, Nebraska,
north OF Ogalalla. Concerning it, the
Omaha Bee of February 5, says:
"a prairie fire got started Saturday
in the sand hills in the north part of
the county and, driven by high wind,
came south and reached the North
Platte valley about II o'clock that
night. a large force Of men were on
hand trying to check and conline the
fire as much as possible, and were
partially successful. There is moth
ing but the grass to lose by fire in the
hills, but in the valley are many valu-
able improvements and many stacks
OF hay, as well as many head of live
stock now in winter quarters and be-
ing fed hay. By the use of three
disk pillow and eight mules hitched to
it, driving in q trot or fast walk right
ahead of the fire, with men riding be-
hind to put out the fire as it reached
the furrow, and for miles and miles in
this manner confining the fire to mar
rover limits, SO that when it reached
the valley it was only about three
miles in width, much more serious
damage was averted. However,
half dozen ranchers were burned out.
The wind had settled little before
the fire reached the valley, so they
were able to save their buildings and
live stock, and the main loss will be
the hay stacks which were burned,
though this loss of hay ought not to
occasion loss of stock, as there
would have been surplus of hay, the
winter having been SO mild"
The fire west Of this place was more
destructive than the one east, burning
over about $50 square miles of east
ern Wyoming. and destroying much
feed, several large ranch houses and
considerable live stock.

SID ELIG s.
A Double Don't Pay.

The fact that drivers of two ice
wagons Of two rival frigid concerns
who deliver the cold cakes in a near
by Iowa city, closely resemble each
other, has caused number of anus
ing Notwithstanding to all concern
ed except the two drivers and one of
them in particular.
One of the drivers has been long In
the service on the beat and has an es-
tablished trade, and Is so well kpown
that while delivering chunk Of Ice,
stops long to tell or listen to st01y.
Whether or not his rival took adven.
tage Of the likeness of the two men,
is not known, but it seems that he at
least "butted in"
On recent morning the latter
drove up in front of soda fountain,
the proprietor of which had been buy
ing ice from the other company. With
out saying anything he rushed in and
filled the refrigerator with nice
cake, collected for the same and went
out.
About an hour later the rightful de-
liverer of ice at that particular place
rushed In to see If the refrigerator
was hungry for another supply of chill
Illness. To his surprise when he
looked into the box he found that the
box was filled with a whole cake ;.
Thinking that it was his company's
product, he threw out his chest and
began discourse on the merits of
the ice.
"Begorra it's fine ice" he said, land
you can tell by looking at 1t that is far
ahead Of anything sold in the city.
Just think of it, that ice was put in
there Saturday morning and hardly
any of it has yet melted"
What" replied the soda fountain
man, you don't mean to tell me- that
you didn't come in here about an hour
ago with that cake. / suppose you
want to tell me that did not Pay you
for that ice"
This was followed by much talking,
many gestures and sickly smiles, when
the excited ice man happened to think
of his double who was driving for the
rival company. 1t is said that the two
ice men now give each other the
frozen glance as they drive past each
other on their daily rounds.

cards the Panama.

Once more the straw hat is abroad
In all it's glory it reigns supreme. As
ever the straws are in various styles,
shapes and colors to suit the tastes of
the wearers. But there are general fea-
lures of the hats that are stylish,
and which are exceptional.
This year the band is the most no.
ticeable feature of the straw hat. It
is gaudy and like unto the colors of the
rainbow. College youths and others
who delight In peculiar headgear are
therefore looking forward to the straw
hat season with great deal of antici-
patton The common people will keep
to the ordinary black bands.
East Shelves Panama.
Another feature of this seasons
straw hat Is the brim-or rather the
lack of 1t. Many years ago when a
straw hat was worn for comfort and as
a covering for the head there was a
nice wide brim which kept the sun
out Of ones eyes. This year, however,
the brinl is narrow and the more man
can look like Nat Wills In "a Son Of
Rest" the more he will be in fashion.
After trying the Panama for a few
seasons the east has decided to give
it up. Bigelow Paine started the move
ment. The east declares the Panama
is too unconventional; it has too much
Of 'have another" sort of look about
it and then again it is too expensive.
The west in spite Of the ban put
on the Panama by the east will stick
to 1t. The fact 1t is unconventional
makes it popular with the west. A
conventional hat, like the silk topper,
cannot stand the racket of the west
There is too much wind and as a rule
the westerner does not spend half his
time looking for hat peg. 1t is dollars
to doughnuts that he throws it on a
chair and if anybody sits on it-well
he gets another. He has the money to
buy one.
