A City Redeemed.

| Terre Haute'S unimpeached mayor
and unimpeached council held eau
Gus. together with other city officers
and concluded to enforce the law
For this relief much thanks" as
| Francisco says to Bernardo. But
we mean no sarcasm We are quite
willing to recognize the force of hab-
| it and the communication of evil
which corrupts good manners, and
welcome in good faith any effort to
break them The dispatch says that
all laws will be enforced. But it adds
that it is not known whether Sunday
baseball and summer amusements
outside the city will be interfered
with or not. We suggest earnestly
that it be known as quickly as pos
sible; or rather that it should be
known by this simple definition: Is
it the business of the city of Terre
Haute to enforce laws in these plac-
es? If it is, that should end all ques-
ton. By this we mean that the laud-
able determination of the mayor and
other city officers of ferre Haute will
come to little unless it is based on
the simple foundation of enforcement
of all law
The position is simply this: The
executive of Terre Haute did not
make the law. He simply occupies a
place of honor and trust in which he
took oath that he would enforce all
law. His duty, his whole duty, begins
and ends there. If the community
of Terre Haute does not like a GER
tain law it can, SO far as that law is
concerned, repeal it. If it be a gener-
al law, it can agitate for its repeal
and send members to the Legislature
to vote and work toward that end.
But as long as law is law it must
be enforced, if an law is to be en-
forced The idea of discriminating;
of an executive saying that he will
enforce certain laws and will leave
certain others unenforced is clear
bid for anarchy, for its moral effect
is that every one has right to dis
regard the particular law that inter
feres with his caprice or self-interest
Judge Winfrey, of Evansville, stated
the case with most admirable clear
ness and directness: "The mayor has
no right to order The orders are
laws, and come from the Legislature. :"
The judge reminded the mayor, who
was present, that he had taken an
oath to enforce all laws. Mayors
everywhere ought to be reminded
constantly of that fact. An oath
is pretty solemn sort of engage
ment for a man of conscience!-ln-

From Salt Lake City.

Ed S. Brooke a former proprietor
and editor of the Plymouth Repub-
iican sends us copy of the Salt Lake
Tribune from which we judge that
everything is prospectus there.
The paper says: The heavy snow
storms of the present month assure
an abundance of water next season,
for all purposes. The crops in and
to be put in will surely be ample,
the SHOWS covering the winter wheat
with mantle of protection. Cne of
the largest benefits of the SHOWS will
be the reviving of the ranges, which
will be better the coming season than
they have been for many years past.
JrU his city, business is brisk; de-
mand is heavy; collections are good.
The bank clearances measure the ex-
tensiye volume of financial transac-
tions; these are 105 per cent above
those of the corresponding week last
year. Their aggregate, which amount
ed to S6,695, ,567, exceeded the clear
ings of Denver for the same week,
which were s6,61O,36s, and were near
ly double those of Portland, which
totaled $3,956,471; and Denvers in
crease over the corresponding week
of 1904 was III per cent, while Port
lands was 2S.3 pr cent.
The realty market in this city
shows unmistakable signs of revival,
with constantly reported good sales;
and lively market is confidently ex-
pected in the spring. Arrangements
for building are already under way,
early as it is; and it is certain that we
shall have very active building sea
son this year.

Total Eclipse of the Moon.

The total eclipse of the moon
scheduled for the morning of Feb.
is expected to be remarkable in many
respects. The moon enters the shad-
ow of the earth at seven minutes at
ter 12, midnight, and will be totally
eclipsed at :OS For one hour and
thirty-ight minutes our satellite will
be sailing through sea of semi-dark-
ness. The middle of the eclipse vii
take place at 1:57 a. m, Chicago
time, and the total phase will pass al
2:46 Two hours is about the Longest
time the moon can be totally eclipsed
by the shadow of the earth.

Fire is a Great Mystery.

A very strange incident occurred
at the home Yost Yoder, who resides
north of Nappanee, which has excited
considerable speculation. Returning
from church last Sunday evening Mr.
Yoder PLACID his surrey in the wagon
shed and closed the doors. The next
day upno visiting the shed he was
greatly surprised to find that the top
and body of the vehicle had been
burned, nothing being left but the
running gear. The shed and barn
were not damaged. The fire is great
mystery, as Mr.. Yoder had left nc
lantern in the buggy and knows ,f nc
cause from which the fire could have
started.

Warned Against Drunkards.

Several northern Indiana sheriffs
and police chiefs have adopted with
good effect the novel plan of furnish
ing saloon keepers lists of habitual
drunkards, with statutory notice to
sell them no liquor. In such cities
the jails have been unusually free
from drunken men and the dealers
are able to keep their places free
from undesirable patrons.

A gigantic chestnut tree with a
girth of about twenty-five feet, and
under whose branches in 1777 Wash
ington and Lafayette held a council
of war and ate their meals while
camping on the place when the Am
erican army was marching from
Baltimore to Philadelphia, is one OF
the many objects of interest shown
to visitors on the Mccormick farm
near Baltimore.
This is not tradition, but well
authenticated fact, as is abundantly
attested by the archives of the Nc
Cormick family.

Farmer Not in It.

The department of agriculture in
Washington, through DR.. II. W.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry, has undertaken to. educate the
farmers regarding the manufacture
of denatured alcohol. Two bulletins
were issued few days ago devoted
to the description of the. sources from
which industrial or denatured alcohol
may be obtained, the method of
manufacture, and some uses to which
it may be put, as we'll as statistics
showing the possibilities in the de-
velopment of the industry.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion of
the subject the conclusion is reached
that the manufacture of alcohol on
a small scale is not likely to prove
profitable. Because Of the regula-
tions under which the farmer would
be required to conduct his still if
he engaged in the manufacture, it IS
evident that he must be content
with producing the raw materials
and that he cannot look forward to
becoming a practical distiller.

TURNER IS ARRESTED
Former Manager of Jewelry Com
pany in Trouble

Roland NJ. Turner, the former
manager in this city of the }. 5.
Johnson Jewelry company, was ar
rested in Cripple Creek last Thurs
day on behalf Of the authorities
here, charged with embezzlement by
Mr. Johnson, owner of the store and
stock.
Turner came here about nine
months ago and went to work for l.
q. Glazier as jeweler. About that
time he made the acquaintance OF j.
s Johnson. who had recently ar
rived here from the east, having sold
out prosperous lumber business.
Turner, it is claimed, induced john
son to put in a jewelry stock here
with Turner rs manager of the bust
ness. For time it looked as
though they were doing fine busi-
ness and then Turner was suddenly
fred out bodily. He left the city
Immediately, while Mr.. Johnson went
to work to straighten out the tangled
affairs of the business.
1t was said that practically no
books had been kept and it was i'm
uossible to arrive at the exact condi-
tion of Things, but Mr.. Johnson esti-
mated that he was out about $5, 600.
1t was something over 4 month
ago that Turner left the city. 1t
has been known for some time that
he was in Cripple Creek and last
Thursday warrant was placed In

Offices are Robbed.

The j. L. Bartlett Lumber office,
the William Mayher lumber office,
the Brown & Ingle Produce office
and the DeBolt and Taylor machine
shops were all broken into night be-
tween Friday and Saturday and the
places ransacked for money. The
burglars evidently entered the ma
chine shop first and took such tools
as they thought necessary to break
into the other officers.
Next they evidently attacked the
Mayher Office as some of the things
taken from this place we're left at
the BARTLETT office. From here their
tracks led plainly in the direction
Of the. Peter Brown office. At this
place. between 81 and S5 was secured,
which was the heaviest haul made at
any Of the places.
At none of the places was it neces-
sary to blow open the safe as all
were left open to avoid this very de-
strnction.
At the Brown office the men dis
covered the combination and opened
the safe.

Broke Record.

The Loveland beet sugar factory,
owned by the Great Western Sugar
company, on Wednesday broke the
worlds record for a 1,O00-ton daily
capacity plant. During the twenty
four hours of Wednesday the factory
turned out 4,665 bags Of 100 pounds
each of the highest grade of granu-
lated beet sugar. This is at the rate
of 100 bags or 1900 pounds per hour,
or 3I bags per minute.
The plant is considered the finest
of its kind in the world. The old
world record of 1000, ton plants was
a little over 1000. bags for twenty
four horuS.

AFTER ALL WATER
Greeley Men Organize to Discover
and Develop Irrigation

Every rain drop or tleck of snow
that may fall within the Rocky
Mountain region is to be carefully
gathered up, stored away for future
use and then made to work in the
beet or potato fields of Colorado, ac-
cording to the plans Of the Irrigation
Development company, articles of
corporation OF which were filed here
last Monday.
The company Is made up of the
best known and most practical irri-
cation men in northern Colorado,
and is capitalized at $3.50, 900. The
ircorporators are B. d. Sanborn,
d. A. Camfeld, James w. McCreery.
ii. N. Haynes, Charles II. Wheeler,
j. M. b. Petrikin and Fl. NJ. De-
Votie.
The exploitations of the new COM
pany will be carried ON wherever
water is found that may be diverted
for irrigation purposes. The object
of the company is simply to investi-
gate and explore possible irrigation
enterprises and then organize the
proper companies for carrying these
through.

Electric Plant Sold.

The business of the Greeley Light
& Power company was turned over to
the new Northern Colorado Power
company at midnight between Oct.
81 and Nov. l. William Mayher,
who for many years has managed the
light company here, still retains his
place on the board of directors Of the
new company.
The Greeley plant was the last Of
the northern Colorado plants to be
turned over to the big company that
is putting in a central power station
at Lafayette and will furnish light
and power to all of the towns and
the country north of Denver.

APPLES ARE GOING UP
Recent Storms Send Prices
Soaring Skyward

Lovers of apple pie will learn with
regret that there is every indication,
according to commission men, that
apples will command a higher price
this winter than has been the case
for number of years.
Because OF the early SHOWS in Colo
RADIO, fruit and produce have already
gone up and very likely will go much
higher before many weeks. While
the eastern markets were not notice
ably affected. it is stated that almost
tifty per cent Of the apple crop in
Colorado Will be unsuitable, having
been ruined by the early snow and
frosts. But small percentage OF
the crop In the Grand junction and
Canon City districts was gathered
before the storm, owing to the
shortage of crates and boxes, the de-
mand for which this season far ex-
ceeded the output OF the factories.
Apples are now selling all the way
from 81. 40 to 50, but, say the COM
mission men, an increase In price Of
not less than twenty-five per cent
may be expected. Potatoes also will
command y high figure, as thirty per
cent of the crop Is said to have been
lost through cold weather.

WANT FUNDS
GOOD ROADS MOVE STARTED
IN EARNEST
Legislature Will be Asked to
Appropriate Million Dollars
for Purpose Above
Mentioned

A good roads movement that really
promises results has been started in
this state. largely by Thomas +.
Walsh of Colorado Springs. The
plan is to have every man who can
afford to donate, put as much money
as possible into a good roads fund.
A bill will also be presented to the
next legislature for an appropriation
of 81, 600, 600 and the establishment
of a good roads bureau in the state
to see to the judicious expenditure
of the funds.
The bill will provide that when q
county asks for funds from the state
for the purpose cf bettering its roads
that county must appropriate an
equal amount to that asked for from
the state fund. The 81 ZOO, 900 fund
must not necessarily be expended in
one year. or in two years bstween
sessions of the legislature, but shall
only be used in the most careful
manner.
The bin will be framed after the
New York law, by which that state
has recently put up fund of $50, :
600, 600 for road improvement.
The unusually heavy falls of mois-
ture in this county for the past two
years has called attention more than
ever to the deplorable condition Of
our county roads and any movement
looking toward betterins OF this
condition VIII be hailed with en-
thusiasm here.
No doubt the roads are being kept
in as good condition as possible
under the present system, but they
are not good enough for the heavy
traffic. 1t is a fact that the roads
here are given much harder usage
than in the eastern states. The
loads put on wagons here will aver
age nearly twice as heavy as those
hauled In the middle eastern states.
For this reason the roads here must
be kept In better shape than almost
any other place in the country.

to 6O DuSnelS OF Wneat, or lUO DuSnelS
of oats to the acre.
Three beet sugar factories in the
district absorb the product of over
90, 600 acres of sugar beets annually.
The yearly potato crop of the dis
trict runs from 10000 to 1900 car.
loads. There is an annual export Of
about 400 carloads Of onions and
about 500 carloads of cabbage,
most of 1t grown within couple of
miles Of the city.
The Greeley potato, although 1t
has several rivals, still holds the
reputation of the greatest and best.
1t is still considered the leading
crop of the district, although the
sugar beet has for the past two years
been running it close second.
Wheat is only kept in third place
because of the splendid profits from
the two mentioned crops. Land Of
this. kind runs in price from 800 to
5000, according to location from rail-
road and the quality of water rights,
the latter being largely determined
by the priority Of the rights to water
In the rivers.
On the subjects of irrigation and
dry farming" there Is so much to
be said, and concerning the agricul-
tural advantages of Colorado the
story is of such magnitude, that it Is
beyond the limit OF this article.

EDITOR AND POLITICS
Extract From a Comment in the
st. Paul Dispatch

Ihe newspaper editor as Il candi-
date for public office was recently
t,ss subject OF a timely article by the
st. Paul Dispatch, which said: The
editor who has ''arrived" knows that
what influence his paper has among
men within it's circle of circulation,
is due primarily to their confidence
In his disinterested sincerity and
secondarily in the ability with which
ii is edited. He knows that he
must carry his editorship under his
own hat; his judgment must be his
own and the best he can form, and
not be an echo of another, be that
other an individual or multitude
Of individuals. He must not be
long" to any party, but insist that
.he party with whose fundamental
principles he agrees belongs to him.
As parties, led by men not always
mindful of principles, are apt to ig-
more or violate their basic principles,
he must be free to criticise and op-
pose. AS all men in public station
are not infallible nor worthy, he
must be as free to criticiSe and op-
pose them The law OF party Is
obedience: loyalty it is sometimes
ca ed.
1t exacts of those who receive or
would receive preferment at its
hands submission to whatever the
party may do. 1t Furnishes revolt
with political death. To this the
editor must bow If he seeks pubic
station. Bowing he ceases to be an
e,iitor and becomes an organ.

ARE HOPEFUL
FARMERS STILL THINK THEY
WILL SAVE CROPS
Second Installment of Storm
Delays Work in the Fields
Another Full Week
Labor Scarce

The second installment of the
storm which struck here last We'd
nesday afternoon had the effect of
delaying the farmers nearly another
week with their potato and beet har-
vest. The only damage, however,
was the thorough soaking of the |
ground with moisture again, just |
after 1t had dried sufficiently for men
and teams to 60 back into the fields.
But the farmers are still very
hopeful of being able to get every bit
of their crop under shelter before
winter really sets in. One of the
main difficulties in the way now is
the scarcity of labor. Hundreds of
the men that were working here in
the early part of the fall have pulled
out for other parts. Men were scarce
in the first place and the several
hundred that left during the first
storm has made the scarcity even
more pronounced.
Governor Mcdonald has been ap-
pealed to by farmers all over the
state and strong effort is being
made to bring in workmen from
other states. The shortage of labor
. ing men is not alone confined to the
farming districts, although the need
here is the most urgent, but the
mining districts are also short of
:, men, and generally there Is an up
ward tendency in wages of all classes
. The Weld county farmers arr
e offering $3.50 a day and board
t straight, or in many cases much more
o on contract work. Every energy is
being strained to get the crop out OF
the ground for fear of a hard freeze.
In the present condition of the
1 soil should a hard frost come the
l sugar beets remaining in the ground
q would be frozen so fast that nothing
but dynamite would dislodge them.
> While the crop might not be dam
5 aged so seriously from the frost itself
the inability to dig the beets at all
would mean loss of nearly a mill
lion dollars.
The loss on the potato crop would
also be serious as there are probably
thousand carloads of these still in
the ground. 1t would not take
very heavy frost to spoil these COM
pletely.
Most of the farmers are inclined
to take cheerful view Of the matter
and are of the opinion that we will
have month or so of nice weather
