ESCAPE AND REcAPTURE.
Dash for Liberty from 6uena Vista Re-
formatory.

Buena Vista. Colo.-The most dar-
ing and reckless attempt at escape in
the history of the Colorado State Re
formatory, located a mile east of this
city, occurred Sunday. A running gun
fight of five miles resulted in the kill
ing of both bloodhounds and the ulti-
mate capture OF the escaping convicts
by Guards Taylor and Tyler at Cotton
wood Hot Springs. five miles west of
here.
The getaway was planned and exc
cuted by Leslie Eastman and w. II.
Ryan. Owing to Eastham's familiar
ity with the prison office, he knew that
arms were kept in the vault, the door
of which he pried off, securing three
revolvers and supply of ammunition.
He donned the coat and hat of Book
keeper Charles Butler. left the Office
and was joined by Ryan, who Is the
prison milkman, and together they left
the grounds.
One of the guards saw this from n
distance but thought the bookkeeper
was accompanying Ryan somewhere.
As soon as II was known the men
were escaping, the hounds were placed
on their trail and the guards followed.
Eastman was sentenced by Judge
Pen Lindsey in Denver several months
ago and was sent 10 TINS place Wnoliy
unaccompanied. arriving here after
dark and walking to the institution,
where he presented his papers. He has
acted as stenographer in the office and
had evidently been planning his es-
cape for some time.
Ryan was sentenced from the Dis
trict Court here last January on a
charge of robbery committed in Salida.
The dogs were shot near the Cotton
wood Hot Springs hotel. five miles
west, and later. when the boys were
overtaken, number of shots were ex-
changed between them and the guards.

TAFT TALKS POLITICS.
Opens Congressional Campaign In
South Carolina.

Greensboro, n. C.-Secretary OF Wa:l
Taft Monday night. before meeting
OF North Carolina Republicans on the,
eve of their state convention, delivered
a speech that was generally regarded
as the opening one of the congressional
campaign OF 1906.
He sharply arraigned southern state
legislatures for depriving the negro
of the ballot by laws which were
framed to cover both races, but were
enforced only against the black, add
ing that II these laws were enforced
regardless of color, nobody would COM
plain of or be injured by them.
He cited the political revolution in
Maryland and West Virginia to show
that changed Industrial conditions
were fast working out the regeneration
of the South.
The speech also dealt with current
political questions. opening with ad-
vice to the rank and file OF the party
In North Carolina, and the South par
ticularly, and referred to the achieve

FLORA OF COLORADO.
Described in Experiment Station Bull
Ietin.

There Is no state in the Union whose
plants are more interesting than those
of Colorado. The state is SO diversi-
fed in topography and so varied In
elevation, with temperatures ranging
from that OF Charleston. South Caro-
lima. to that of Spitzbergen, conse-
quently there is as great variety OF
plants as are found between these
two extremes. More than that. our
plabts are so different from those OF
the East that the botanies which are
accessible have been 81 very little use
to people interested in the plants of
Colorado II has been necessary for
the botanists of the experiment station
TO make a study Of the plants of Colo
rado. and finally 1t has been thought
hest to issue these as a bulletin, so as
to be of permanent value to them
selves and to the people of the state in
general. II has resulted in the publi-
cation of the most elaborate bulletin
ever issued by the experiment station.
1t will probably be mailed early in
July.
The bulletin is one of nearly 450
pages. IL gives list of every known
plant in the state. II is provided with
keys, and to save space. .the explana-
| tion and necessary description of the
plants are mostly included in the keys
| II has a map to Illustrate the state and
, the distribution of the plants. This

of the earliest expeditions.

Shorter Hours in Lsundries.

Denver.-Laundries requiring their
women employees to work over eight
hours day are to receive the atten-
tion of the state labor commissioners
office, according to the deputy com
missioner, Edwin V. Brake. 1t is said
that there are numerous instances of
the continued violation OF this law in
Denver, and that the women are re-
quired to work twelve and sixteen
hours day. Laundry work is about
the hardest thing that woman can
md to do.
The heat is enervating in the first
place. and long hours Of the wearisome
Toll is certain TO cause physical

FIGHTING sALToN SEA.
Southern Pacific Making Frantic Eff
forts to Save Tracks.

Salton, Cal.-Confronted with final
washout within the next six weeks by
the rapidly y-advancing waters of the
Salton sea, the Southern Pacific com
pany is now making every effort pos
sible to turn the Colorado river back
into its old channel, which leads into
the Gulf of California.
Forty miles of the companys trans
continental line is affected.
Large gangs with teams and graders
have been sent TO Pilot Knob, few
miles this side OF Yuma. and the con-
struction of ninemile spur track
branching from the main line at Pilot
Knob, leading down through Mexico
and ending at the famous intake, has
been commenced. This track will be
used for the transportation of material
required to dam the food at the in
take.
The work of checking the flow at
the intake, where the Colorado river
is rushing from its old channel into the
Salton sink, has been handicapped by
its isolation from the railroad. Ma
chinery and material needed to CON
struct the dam and headgates had to
be hauled nine miles by wagon, or
fioated down the Colorado from Yuma.
1t Is proposed to run trainloads of
rock from the quarries near Pilot Knob
and dump them into the intake, thus
constructing the dam which is in
tended to check the flow of the river
into the Salton sea and turn it back
into the gulf. The opening to be
closed is over 400 feet wide and a dam
of a mile in length will be necessary.
With these transportation facilities.
those in charge of the work feel con-
fident that they will be able to avoid
another move of the Southern Pacific's
tracks. The time. however. is short
to accomplish This feat.

Fertilizers for Beet Fields.

The agricultural experiment station
of the Colorado Agricultural College
has been making exhaustive expert
ments to determine the value of ferti-
lizers in growing sugar beets. In
bulletin Just issued the station gives
the following summary and conclu-
sions Of the work:
First--Our Colorado soils generally
contain ample supplies of potash and
phosphoric acid, and an excess of lime.
Second-The native soil is generally
somewhat deficient in nitrogen and
humus, both are supplied by growing
leguminous plants like alfalfa. peas.
vetches or beans, or from sheep and
stable manures. Nitrogen, but not
humus. can be supplied by commercial
fertilizers.
Third-Nitrogen in the form. of nj
trate OF soda is the only element which
has had any decided effect in increas-
irg the yield of sugar beets over the
cost of application.
Fourth-Potash and phosphoric acid,
from sulphate of potash. raw bone
meal basic Stag. dissolved or acid
bone, and phosphate rock, used alone
or together, have very little or no ef-
feet upon the yield.
Fifth-There are strong indications
that potash and phosphoric acid from
fertilizers, largely, If not entirely, neu-
tralize the effect of nitrate of soda
upon the yield Of sugar beets. although
the quality of the beet is good.
Sixth-No difference in results were
obtained between applying the nitrate
of soda at the time of planting or in
part at the time of planting, and In two
applications during the growing sea
son.
Seventh-The net profit from reason
able quantities of manure, If cost of
manure and its application Is consid-
erable, is mainly obtained in the after
effects in the succeeding year, while
there appears to be no residual effect
the third year after application.
Eighth-An excess of nitrogen from
manures or fertilizers over what the
plant needs lowers the yield and the
quality of the sugar beets some, though
not much.
Ninth-Reasonabl quantities OF
manure were fully as effective as large
of excessive quantities.
Tenth--Refuse lime cake from the
sugar factories as fertilizer on sugar
beets was of no benefit.
Eleventh-Souble fertilizers applied
to the seed favored strong termination.
Twelfth-very high sugar content
and purity seem to go with low yields,
although there are exceptions.
Thirteenth-Fertilizer will not take
the place of good preparation or cult
vation OF the soil. or good care OF the
crop. The soil must be in good physi-
cal condition to make the best use OF
fertilizers applied.
Fourteenth = The tops We're about
forty-four per cent. of the weight OF
the clean beets. A fifteen-ton crop OF
sugar beets will produce sc tons fresh.
green tops. II is estimated that this
will air-dry 10 one-eighth the original
weight, or 8 Of ton.
