University OF Denver Makes Splen-
did Showing.

Chancellor Fl. A. Buchtel may well
feel proud of the magnificent showing
being made by the University of Den
yer. He is largely responsible for the
institutions progress in recent years.
and its present high standing among
the colleges of the Middle West. The
university is entitled to the support of
the people OF Colorado, and will un-
doubtedly receive it so long as it is
conducted along broad-guaged lines.
In statement published last Sun
day Chancellor Buchtel gives many
interesting facts concerning the va
rious departments of the university
and some of the faculty's plans for
the future. 1t would appear that there
are now l.5 professors and instructors
and l,300 students in the ten depart
ments of the institution.
The faculty has determined to make
extensive inquiry into the socialistic
experiments being made in various
countries. DR.. James f. LeRossignol.
the professor of economies and social
science. will be sent to New Zealand
to make report on conditions there.
Such a report will be very valuable if
the investigator approaches his task
in the proper spirit. The faculty
should see to it that the men dispatch
ed on these important missions pos
sess the fortunate mental makeup
which enables them to see every side
of the problem under investigation
and to report accurately what they
see. 1t is not probable that any one
has discovered a panacea for our gov
ernmental ills. but most of the SOCIAL
led "eXperimentS' have accomplished
some good. This bright side should
be painted in just as strong colors .as
the unfavorable side. Few investiga-
tors, however, have the mental poise
which enables them to do this. Rocky

Bronze Grass a Profitable Crop.

From several years observation we
believe that bronze grass can be as
surely established on non-irrigated
lands as timothy and that it can be
broken up and the sod gotten in con-
dition between the time of hay crop
and planting time the next spring.
Thus no time is lost by its use in ro-
tation and the seed will grow and
make a hay crop the first year by fall,
a system. however. which has never
prevailed to much extent in Colorado.
With a grass on which we can rely in
the arid regions and that readily
yields to another crop, we have the de-
sired combination for rotation.
With this rotation the fertility of the
soil may be kept up and the crops be
undiminished from year to year. 1t
is true that bronze errsS is not as good
a nitrogen bearer as alfalfa, hut al
falfa and bronze grass will grow well
together-the one seeming to supple
mcnt the other. There seems to be u
distinct advantage in the two growing
together, although for this purpose
we have always preferred orchard
grass. We have noticed that bronze
grass grows taller where alfalfa
stands than when seeded alone. 1t
would seem that In bromus inermis
western farmers have Il weapon to not
only combat drouth, but one to make
u practical system of rotation.-Field

The policy of Messers Clayton and
Hamilton has ever been to extend the
scope of their business as rapidly as
the development of the territory
sought TO be covered would warrant.
Previous to the present time the Citi-
zenS bank OF .julcsburg furnished am
.ple facilities for the territory adjacent
to Sedgwick. but the new impetus Civ
en- 70 the farming industry of that To-
cality by the construction of the Jules
burg reservoir has created an opening
for Il bank at Sedgwick. And in ord
er that the people of that vicinity
might have the advantages of bank
nearer to them than that in Julesburg
the Sedgwicl Banking Company was
organized several months since. This
company is now prepared to attend to
all business that may come its way
and this business will no doubt prove
to be profitable within short time.

holders of the bank, who opened the
Institution Tuesday.
The proposition to open bank in
Sedgwick was conceived last summer
during visit of Mr.. Linebarger, then
u resident of Orient, Iowa, to Jules
bnrg. MIR. Lnebarger has been in
the banking business for thirty years
and last summer, having disposed Of
his Iowa bank he came to Sedgwick
county in search of Il location for 4
banking institution. After careful
investigation of the situation here he
decided to establish bank in Sedg-
wick. and secured an option on Il bus
mess lot in that town from the Sedg-
wick Land company. Later he was
invited to join an association of local
capitalists in establishing bank in
.Julesburg. and the First National
Bank of Juesbus5 sprang into exist
cnce.
The capital stock of the First Ma
tional is 25.0O0OO, and in addition
the stockholders reprecent Il capital of
probably half million dollars. 1t
will then be realized that these two in
stitutions. closely allied as they are.
and backed by capital of such large
proportions. are exceptionally strong.
That the Sedgwick County Bank. in
Sedgwicll. and the First National. in
.Iulesburg. will assist materially in
the development of Sedgwick county,
and will prove a profitable investment
| for the Stockholders is undoubted.

the scales dip so far, weighted by his
grief, that it seems as if he must 60

from q fate worse than death. The
story Of a plucky newsboy is told by
Walt Makee under the title 1.-THE Init

The Railway Age this weeks says:
In estimating the increased price to
the public for domestic sizes of an
thracite coal in case the demands OF
the miners for an eight hour day and
an advance in wages are granted it
is understood that the operators
founded their calculations on basis
of sixty-five per cent of the output
of anthracite being domestsc sizes.
In some collieries the proportion of
domestic sizes run as low as forty
five per cent. The lower the per
centage of domestic sizes the greater
would be the increase in the price
per ton, as anthracite for domestic
purposes would have to bear the in
creaded cost of production. Years
ago the mine owners had not learned
the value of the small sizes of an
thracite and they were not sent to
market, from which the CONCLUSION
is now sometimes drawn that the
operators could now afford to market
only the larger sizes. The answer to
this proposition is that years ago
many coal companies were not oper-
ated at profit. 1t is because of
systematic business methods which
avoid waste and which find a mark
ct for all sizes Of the product that
the anthracite trade has become
prosperous. The operators have
stated their case very clearly. Are
consumers of domestic sizes willing
to pay 81 20 more per ton for hard
coal: Evidently the operators think
not, and this is one reason why they
have refused the demands of the
miners. AS the controversy now
stands the mine workers must make
concession before any progress in
negotiations with the operators can
made. The miners must agree to
abide by the findings of the Anthra
cite Coal Strike Commission of 1902.
President Mitchell in his reply t.
the operators has evaded giving an
answer to the proposition to renew
this agreement for three years. The
issue between the two factions at the
moment is the acceptance or rcjec-
ton of the awards of the Strike Com
mission of 1902, and it cannot be
evaded.
