John c. Dalton at Rest.

The news of the death of John
c. Dalton last night. at his home
in Manassa. reached La .Jara this
morning and cast gloom over the
hearts of many of our people.
While he has been a sufferer for
many months from cancer OF the
stomach and no hope for his re-
covery was entertained by his physi-
clans and family. he had lin
gered so long that his friends had
come to believe that he might yet
recover and the announcement of
his death comes as IL severe shock.
John c. Dalton was IA big. broad
minded. worthy man; a leader in
the affairs for the upbuilding and
betterment of the community. and
in his death Conejos county loses
one of her most substantial citi-
zens.
The funeral will occur next Sun
day. interment being made in the

Gle joins the family's scores of

people; the people and The Chron-
icle say upon the bondsmen. who
were solely responsible until the
building was completed and turned
over to the school district, and the
sureties thereby released. Much
patience had been exercised in ex-
tending the time when the work
should have been completed, as per
contract. Mr.. Wallrich would have
that patience extended until the
crack of doom, SO far as his per-
sonal liability is concerned. claim
ing that he could not be held re-
sponsible for an accident such as
loss by fire.
The courts have held that after
the specified term of IA contract has
expired the bondsmen or the cor
poration concerned (when the con-
tract has not been complied With,
could not escape responsibility, no
matter what the cause of the dis
aster or loss.
There were many sorrowing
fathers, mothers and children in
district No. 3, all because Wallrich
and his fellow bondsmen refused
to act honorably in this matter.
There is a legal remedy and it
should and will be used. Moral
suasion is useless where even COM
mon morality is an absent quantity,
and sterner measures must be re-
sorted to, even if they must be APP
piled to those who would secure
control of and shape the future of

The Chronicle has no desire to
further humiliate these men, but
in its defense of the homes those
little ones who will so shortly be
come the fathers and mothers of
the generation to come-it realizes
its obligation to make the facts
public. Let us make this clear.
Funds were raised to construct
this school building largely by the
voluntary gifts of the fathers and
mothers whose children would be
benefited thereby; they gave freely
because they realized the benefits
to be derived. Before the con-
tractors could begin work II was
necessary for them to file bond
for the faithful performance of
their part of the contract. That
bond was signed by c. Wallrich,
Wm. II. Mallett and Roy Camp
bell in the sum of 50, l99, as shown
by the records produced above.
This act constituted legal as well
as a moral obligation-legal be
cause the law required it, and moral
because the people looked up to
and respected the character of the
men who assured them that their
money would be justly expended
and accounted for.
In brief. these bondsmen told
the people who SO generously do
mated from hard earned hoardings,
that they would be responsible for
the accomplishment of the result
the construction of the school
building and its care and preserya-
ton until legally relinquished to
the school district That was the
presumption. What are the facts?
These bondsmen agreed to be
held in liability in the sum of
S5,499 for the completion of this
school house by October |, 1903.
Several months after the terms of
the contract had expired, so far as
construction was concerned (the
bond then having been forfeited by
noncompliance with the contract)
the building was destroyed by fire
destroyed before being legally
delivered to the school district.
Upon whom should the loss fall?

death cup. The former has been used
in Europe for hundreds of years as a
fly poison, and In Asia 1t was formerly
used as an intoxicant. Cattle are pois-
oned by this species as well as men,
and 1t is supposed that the flesh Of live
stock SO poisoned is rendered unwhole-
some. The death cup Ia not quite so
large as the fly amanita and Is not SO
attractive In appearance to the mex
perienced and experimenting epicure.
A large number Of cases OF poisoning
have been attributed to this fungus; in
most of them 1t was supposed to be edi-
BILE. and in few instances the mere
handling Of the plant caused serious
trouble.

on to describe the common poisonous
weeds and plants of the country, some
of which are thriving In abundance in
the East, West. North and South, and

yond belief, and an intelligence that is
seldom credited to them by any one
except those who have devoted consid-
cradle time to studying them and
their ways.
In the section Of the country where
we were the larger part of our stay
moose were exceedingly plentiful, and
we had the finest opportunity to OBJ
serve their actions. We followed them
from one place to another. endeavor-
ing not to frighten them and all the
while noticing them very closely.
In the mating season, which COM
mences around September 20 and ends
about the middle of October. the bulls
are exceedingly vicious. while the cows
are timid and seek the deepest forests,
being easily frightened. 1t is my
opinion that the males kill many Of
their mates at this time.
The cows soon betake themselves to
some island, in order that they may not
be disturbed by wolves or other wild
animals. The moose calves are about
as homely and unsightly as anything
have ever seen. Their heads are
nearly as long as their bodies. and
when they are three or four weeks old
they weigh about 100 pounds.

breeding Sturdy Lettuce.

Through the process Of forcing"
owners Of greenhouses are able to
produce crops, weeks and months
before they could arrive at maturity
through natural courses In addition
the crop is made to develop far more
rapidly and to attain proportions
such as nature could not accomplish.
From $2,5O0,0OO to 100000 worth
Of lettuce alone is "forced" in the
United States each winter. Green
house gardeners In an endeavor to
''get rich quick" have failed to note
that thas fording was weakening
their stock until now the weak let
tuce often becomes so diseased in the
hothouse that it is by no means rare
for gardener to lose an entire crop
Of greenhouse lettuce by disease to
which these overstrained plants are
particularly liable.
DR.. B. T. Galloway, chief Of the
Bureau Of Plant Industry, in order to
correct this evil, has been working for
two seasons ON this subject and has
at last succeeded in obtaining crop
Of winter lettuce plants immune to
the lettuce disease. At the same time
the plants are Of large size and capa-
BILE Of developing as early as the most
specialized Of winter lettuce. This
work has involved much time and the

Of healthy winter lettuce was planted,
and at the proper time
the plants were crossed with
wild lettuce-a species free from

she stops laying eggs and no amount Of
persuasion can induce her to again
commence doing business until she is
ready. The California Experiment
Station has been making tests with the
object OF shortening the moulting sea-
son OF laying fowls. Hens usually
commence moulting In the early fall
and the plan of the California station
is to hasten this time into early sum
iner. This Is accomplished by a method
Of light feeding, followed with heavy
feeding. The egg-laying is stopped
and moulting Is brought on by one
half reduction OF the supply of nitro

like. The hens, under this plan. stop
egg-laying and go to moulting. In
about month. 1t is claimed, the moult-
ing process IL all finished and then the
ordinary feeding is resumed: the hen
then begins to lay eggs early In tile
fall. The experiments OF the station
have not been concluded, 80 that It Ia
still unsafe to say whether or not the
new method will prove practically sue

Tropical Fruits.

There is something fascinating In the
development of tropical fruits, those
things which we can not grow in the
emperate and colder climates, where
Jack Frost is sure to reap his annual
harvest. There Is the mango, for In
stance, which the Department of Ag-
riculture is growing in Porto Rico, and
the alligator pear, most delicious
tropical vegetable-fruit, the pepino, and
a score of others which will stand little
or no frost. To most persons there is
n glarlor and a fascination about the
tropics and its products. We have in
the United States no tropical section.
Frosts or chills of atmosphere are
likely to visit us at all points. In
Porto Rico and the Philippines, how
ever, are found the genuine tropical
conditions where nothing worse occurs
than the hurricane which sweeps away
every vestige of vegetation, house and
occupants; but there is no frost.
While we have taken control of
Porto Rico and the Philippines, never
theless, 1t is the constant endeavor of
the home government to cross and hy-
bridize tropical with hardy fruits so
that they will stand the cold and
frost of northern climes. The artif-
cial evolution of the hardy orange is
an example of this.
BY selection and cross breeding,
plants can become wonderfully well
acclimated and as result the northern
varieties and species are gradually in
vading the southern fields, while the
northern orchards are constantly being
augmented by new species hitherto
exclusively southern in temperament.
