The State Fair.

Thousands of people from all
parts of the country and from
other countries will visit the
Colorado State Fair which opens
at Pueblo, on September 10, for
the purpose of ascertaining where
are the best places for the in
vestmept of capital in lands,
factories, and various enterprises.
This is assured by letters re-
ceived by President Paul Wilson,
Secretary S. F. Reno and other
officers of the association.
The good fruit borne by the
fair of last year and year before
is apparent in many ways. Capt.
talists and their agents were here
to see what Colorado could pro-
duce, and some heavy invest
ments were made on the strength
of what they saw

A Substitute for Cedar Posts.

A cattleman named George
Wright, who has a ranch neal
Holly. Prowers county. tells how
he cuts in half big item in fence
building by making his posts oil
concrete. The cheapest fence
post we can get in eastern Colo.
RADIO" he says, costs us sixteen
cents even when bought in car
load lots, which makes fencing an
expensive luxury in the conduct
of a cattle ranch. Cement is
comparatively cheap and we have
sand in unlimited quantities.
About year ago / hit upon the
idea of making fence posts of ce-
ment. ! tried it and have found by
actual tests that fence posts ca
pable of lasting an age, which will
withstand the destructive prairie
fires may be made for eight cents
each.
MY men are now putting in all
their spare time making concrete
fence posts. The molds are of
very simple construction. A
level plot of ground is selected
on which a floor is built of inch
lumber, laid on stringers. This
section of floor is as wide as the
posts are long and along both
sides and ends are nailed strips of
inch lumber making big, fiat,
shallow trough. Then crosswise
are fastened other inch strips FIVE
inches high or as high as the
posts are to be wide. They are
placed slightly diagonal that the
posts may taper from eight inches
at the bottom to four inches at
the top,
Large spikes are then fixed
along the molds at intervals to
make holes tor the wire fastenings
and then the molds are ready to
receive the concrete. In mixing
the concrete for fence posts no

then placed in the mold and the
concrete is poured over them and

This wire serves to re-enforce
the concre and gives it great re-
sistrng power. After lying about

taken out while the molds can be

might be mentioned was that of
c. S. Bernard, of Colorado Springs,
who was SO impressed with the
products shown from Conejos
county and other portions of the
San Luis valley. that during the
past two years he has invested
s25O,O 900 and his friends 100000
more in lands, bitches, reservoirs
and the like in that locality.
There are many other smaller but
similar cases as a result of the
state fair.
This year there are far more
tourists and investors in the state
than last year. and it is safe to
say, aside from the statements
they have already made to that
effect, that many hundreds, rep
resenting millions of capital, will
decide where they will place their
cash after they have seen what is
on exhibition at the coming fair. 1t
therefore behooves every locality
having anything to show, from a
fine horse or COW to a sugar beet,
to make display at the coming
exhibition.

ADDITIONAL JAP ARGUMENT.
A Few Thoughts for Those Who are VIII
ing to Look at Both Sides of
the Question.

This is not true OF many. We
observe with regret that in almost
every case it is the forehanded
and prosperous ranchmen who
defend the importation of Japs.
AS rule the less prosperous fruit
grower refuses to consider yellow
labor for moment.
This peculiar state of affairs
leads US to wonder if prosperity
naturally breeds contempt tor the
rights of others.
Those who really consider the
importation of Japs with favor,
should pause long enough to
analyze their desire. and see from
what source it springs. 1t is con-
ceded that the Jap is not a cheap
laborer. He must be worked in
colonies along with an interpre-
ter. In this particular he is a
nuisance to his employer. He
has been proven a failure on the
coast and the orange growers do
not use Japs. Laying aside all
question of right or wrong, those
who have had opportunity to
observe the work on the coast
tell us the Jap is not wanted as a
fruit handler.
Then there is another thing
tha, might be considered: Will
it extend and improve our fruit
market to have it advertised that
we import Japs TO handle itr Is
it not a good deal to our credit
TO be able to say that we use
white labor exclusively?
1t surely is a good recommen-
dation and we imagine will make
the fruit fully as popular as the
reputation of being picked and
packed by Orientals.

Intelligent Temperance Argument.

On another page we reprint an
idea advanced by Frances Willard
the renowned temperance advo-
cate. For many years this editor
has claimed that seven-tenths of
the evils of the use of liquor was to
be found in the ill-advised efforts
to hamper its sale. Miss Willard,
who certainly must be given the
credit of doing all she could to
suppress the use of intoNicants
evidently held very similar opin-
ions to our own. Those who seek
to use its revenue producing
capabilities as deterrent are GER
tainly at war with Miss Willard's
carefully formed opinion.

since we went 10 press last
week we have taken the trouble
to very carefully investigate the
relative number of those who de
sire to use Jap labor this fall, and
those who do not 1t appears
that less than ten per cent. of our
ranchmen are willing to hire them
and of these fully half prefer
white labor.
According to promise. the
Booster and this paper have this
week inserted lads" in all sur
rounding country weeklies and
expect to be in position to send
at short notice for several hun
dred extra laborers as soon as in
dications are that they will be
needed. The expense of the et-
fort has been born entirely by
those who feel that the importa-
ton of Jap labor would menace
the business and labor interests
OF the valley.
Every day proves more clearly
that there will be no trouble what
ever in getting all the white labor
necessary to harvest and dispose
of the crop. Even now men and
women arrive on nearly every
train to be ready for the rush
when it comes. Those ranchmen
who have been sincere in saying
that they preferred white labor
will have no difficulty in securing
their supply.
Those few of our orchardists
who feel agrieved over the obJec-
tion to their using Japs in gather
ing their bountiful crop might
with propriety consider how they
would feel should they ascertain
that some of our business men or
laborers had imported colonies of
coddling moth or other pest, the
presence Of which means great
damage to them. We anticipate
that they would express their
disapproval in no uncertain terms,
but when they desire to import
far worse pest, one that will de-
stroy the prosperity of hundreds
OF people, and all without the
slightest necessity, they seem to
think those people very unreason
able who voice protest.
Only two years ago we heard
ranchmen seriously discuss
poisoning the bees because they
thought they were spreading the
pear blight. They were aware
such an act was against the law
but they considered their interests
paramount, as some do now. The
amount of damage they do others
does not seem to in any way
modify their actions.
