MANY INQUIRIES
BEING RECEIVED
PORT STATISTICIAN is KEPT
BUSY JUST AT PRESENT RE-
PLYING TO THEM.

The fact that Brunswick is attract

inquiries Capt. Otto Johannesen, the
official port statistician, is receiving
gust at present concerning Brunswick
and more especially her shipping.
Capt. Johannesen stated to a News
representative yesterday that there
had been regular influx of inquiries
during the past several days. In
many cases Capt. Johannesen mas been
requested to submit statements show
ing the business of the port for the
past few years and the port statistl-
clan is now busy working on these
reports.

inquiries are coming from the west,
but numbers of them have been re-
ceived from all sections of the coun-
try Capt. Johannesen also states
/ that he has received a number OF
| inquiries from along the gulf coast,
especially from Mobile and Pensa-
cola, the two leading ports along the

I information about Brunswick has been

Jail Break at Las Animas.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Las Animas Monday night says: Two
Mexican prisoners named Gonzales and
Romero escaped from the county Jail
about G:S0 tonight, after desperate
hand-to-hand fight with Sheriff John
d. Brown and his entire family. The
prisoners took southeasterly direc-
tion, with the sheriff in pursuit, but
owing TO the darkness and the fact
that they entered the timber and un-
derbrush along the Purgatoire river,
they were soon out of sight. A posse
with hounds is on their trail. Both
men are desperate characters and will
not be taken without fight
Gonzales was only recently brought
back from Ell Paso. Texas, being
charged with robbing wrecked Santa
Fe train of silver coin. Romero was
charged with arson.

w. G.. NJ. Stone, president of the
State Forestry Association. believes
that people in every section of the
state who are interested in forestry
should get the benefit of the big CO.
operative experiment in tree-planting
which the agricultural college is about
to inaugurate. The college scheme is
TO plant at least 800 trees of two prom
ising species at twenty different sta
tions in the state and to have at least
twenty students of the college visit all
of these stations twice a year for ten
wears. In each instance the trees will
be two-year-old seedlings, furnished
without cost by the government. and
the ranchmen furnishing the land and
irrigating the trees will own them per-
manently for his trouble. The locali-
ties selected for the experiments are
as follows:
Fort Collins, Longmont. Greeley.
Wheatridge, Cope, Brighton. Parker,
Cheyenne, Pueblo, Rocky Ford, Amity,
Trinidad, Canon City. Rifle. Gypsum,

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Tbe
market last week had a very good tone
and trade was brisk here every day.
Eastern markets did not fare SO well
as the demand was reported light and
even though supply was light, prices
were reported lower on beef. Prices
here on good steers are strong COM
pared with week ago, but COWS show
a slight decline, as the supply has been
liberal The average quality Of the beer
cattle offered was very good. Choice
steers sold up to $3.50, with the bulk
of the business ranging from this
down to $3.75. Best COWS brought
$3.S5, but they were choice and most
of the good ones brought s2.75 to $3.50,
with medium stuff from $2-25 to $2.15.
Veals were active and about steady.
The supply of feeders and stockers
was liberal and average quality very
good. The demand was excellent for
the good grades and all were sold out
readily. The result was strong prices
every day and at the close values are
10 to Is cents higher than week ago.
Choice steers sold up to $4.25, and bulk
OF the business was done around 1915
and better.
The hog market continues on the up
ward trend and prices closed the week
about nickel higher than week ago.
, Tops are now selling at s5.45 with the
range down to $3.50. Demand is very
good.
The sheep receipts were quite liberal
during the week, but bulk went
through to eastern markets. and only
few were offered here. The demand
was fair, but by no means heavy. East
ern markets are lower, as the supply
has been very heavy and market here
is weak in sympathy.

DO YOU LEAN OR LIFT?

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who writes
some good things sometimes, has a
poem on two kinds of people
those who lift and those who lean.
She says there are twenty leaners
where there is one who lifts.
She is right.
In every household there is some
one who is the main dependence.
That one goes ahead with the work,
carries the burden and the worry,
while the others-usually it is the
mother-more's the pity-who does
the lifting.
In every business it is so. One
takes the iniative, does the planning.
He seems cut out for his task of
leadership and voluntarily assumes
it. The others depend on him. 1t
is so much easier to follow than to
lead.
In the church. very few do the
work and make the sacrifice of time
and energy. The others lean on
the leaders.
The same thing is true in state
legislatures, in congress. A very
few men do the real work of legis-
lation. The others simply mark
time.
Are you leaning or lifting?
There is a lot of work to do in
the world, not merely big tasks,
common everyday work. And some
do more than their share because SO
many shirk. There are tired, over
wrought souls who break under the
strain because SO many lean on
them.
Is there some willing man near
you who is lifting more than his
share of the load? Roll up your
sleeves aud give him lift.
Is there fome tired, worn, nervous
woman upon whom-for shame!-
you have leaned too long? Turn in
and help the overtaxed, brave one.
Qait leaning.
BE man! or woman!
Lift!
And lift quick!

BIBLE AGAINST PASSES.

Instead of their annual passes on
the Pennsylvania railroad, those who
have long enjoyed those fsvors re-
ceived the following cards on Jan uary
1st:
THE SCRIPTURE VS.. PASSES.
Thou shalt not pass.-Numbers
Xxx, Is.
Suffered not man to pass.--Judges
I'LL, 2S.
The wicked shall no more pass
Nahum l., Is.
Though they roar. yet can they not
pass.-Jes. W, %.
He paid the fare and VENT Jonah
L., 3.
A politician, who is trifle pro-
voked over the anti-pass order, sug.
gested that the Pennsvlvania's New
Year cards be returned with this in
dorsement:
"It will be remembered that Shy
lock draws upon Holy Writ to make
a point in The Merchant of Venice
and that Bassanio retorts that 'the
devil can quote Scripture to his pur-
pose.'"

are told the underskirt is made with

BODY FOUND in A TREE.

When quantity of nitro-glycerine
exploded near Williamstown, w, Va,
two weeks ago H. D. Kerr was driv-
ing the wagon in which it was being
carried.
All that could be found immedi-
ately after the explosion were few
pieces of flesh and these were shipped
to Ohio for burial, upon the sup
position that they were all that was
left of Kerr. Later, however, his
body, somewhat lacerated, was foun d
in tree 700 feet from the scene of
the explosion. The body had ap-
parently been thrown through the
air by the power of the glycerine
and lodged in the tree.

JANUARY WARMEST IN YEARS.

Director Evans, of The Washing.
ton Weather Bureau, shows, in his
report for January, that in the his
tory of the January temperatures
January, 1906, stands as the warmest
of which a record has been made.
The coldest weather Of the month
was experienced during the last three
days of the first decade, the same
period which furnished also the mini
mum value. One notably warm day
occurred within this period, but the
maximum readings of the month,
without exception, were obtained
during the days Goth to 23d, incIu-
sive, when extremely high tempera-
lures prevailed over the entire State.

1t is not for a moment to be sun

woman would appreciate it. She
has been a target by the big dailies

that scarcely any two papers have

IRvINGToN VIRGINIA. FRIDAY MARCH 16 1906

Q worker makes is to tell the bos
what be thinks cf him" when he re
signs his position.
1t is natural, aud it is satisfactor'
to explain to the employer just W wha
your opinion of him and his firm is
-Four out of live men who quit theil
positions voluntarily quit with bitter
words la q ten minute or two
minute interview that ends their
connection with the firm, they pour
out all the things they have been
tempted to say 70 the employer while
working for him.
1t is far better for any man to say
those things to the employer when
the things happen than to save them
all up aud pour them out upon him
when quitting.
To "give the boss piece of your
mind," even from selfish stand
point, is about as foolish thing as
man dependent upon his hands OF
brain for livelihood can do. The
employer usually is friendly with
every other employer of labor in his
line in the city, aud often he is even
closer to the "rival" than friendship.
lie may have unheard of alliances.
In either case ne is in a position to
loJure worker who has wounded
his pride or insulted him.
Money is the cause of most resigna-
tions. A man getting $S week
sees a place open where he can com.
mand $12. He determines to Quit
unless his iirm meets the advance in
salary. He is ''sore" on his firm.
anyhow. They didn't treat him rig ht
on such aud such OCCASION
He goes to his employer and de-
mands the raise. Nine times out of
ten ne does not get ;t-simply be-
cause he is rated an IS man there.
The refusal hurts his pride. He ex-
presses his opinion of the boss and
the firm forcibly and walks out to
take the new job.
That happens in every office al
most every day.,
Those men often wonder why they
do not thrive in their new places.
They expected-because the new firm
seemed to want them-thatthe would
be appreciated. Often they notice a
change in the attitude of their em
ployer within short time.
They forget that the chances are
that their old employer met the new
one at lunch while he still remem-
bered the "piece of fmind"-and heard
the other side of the story.
The right way to resign is to go to
the employer politely and say:
"Jones & Brown have offered me SI2
a week. / cannot, in justice to nv
self and family, refuse. l regret ex-
tremely to leave you, but of course /
must do so unless you are willing to
pay me as much as they Will nav"
That is not only the proper way
to feel and talk, but it is the polite
way. twill bring the advance twice
as often as the other way will, and.
If the firm cannot see its way to grant
the increase, it will bid you farewell
with kind feelings and good wishes.
And kind feelings and good wishes
will come in we'll if ever you want
another job with that firm, or if the
old employer mas occasion to speak
to the new one concerning you
