Durum Wheat Can BE Raised ProAt-

A few years ago American wheat
growers did not know that there was
in another part OF, the world an en-
tirely different species OF wheat from
the kinds they grow, that different
bread was made from 1t and that mill
lions of people not only lived on this
bread, but cOntended that 1t was the
best bread In the world, says tho

Carleton, an agricultural explorer OF
the government, and not the grain mag
mates, who demonstrated to the Ameri-
can public that this foreign wheat will
earn for the farmers of the country
millions of dollars year. The wheat
was brought in by the government
scientists, and distributed throughout
the northwest. 1t yielded last year
alone a net Income to the farmers who
grow 1t of more than $1,5O0,OOO. It

Industry of the South, the first irriaat-
ed crop to be grown In this country,
the grain upon which more people in
the world live than Oh any other, had
made no study of the immense varieties
of rice being grown In rne immense rice
areas of the orient. In Louisiana and
Texas 1t is estimated that rice planters
were losing every year more than 49,
100000 because they grew the long
kernelled rice instead Of importing from
Japan short-kernelled sort that would
not break in milling. The planters
complain, moreover, that the American
people are not rice consumers and vet
they allow the rice millers to SO polish
and otherwise prepare the product that
no oriental rice connoisseur will eat 1t

not like 1t, or use /, us vegetable

The department of agriculture has In
PRODUCED short-kernelled rice and
saved the rice growers many millions
already and 1t has called the atten-
ton of the public to the superiority of
the unpublished product which is less
expensive to prepare.

Colorado Springs.-In twenty-three
out OF the sixty precincts in FL Paso
lows: Republicans. 1862: Democrats.
1.03s: Socialist. 219. and Lindsey. 1874;
scratched. 1.s07.
The enormous scratch vote Is
mainly on the county and judicial
ticket. Candidates on the state and
congressional tickets are holding their
own on the scratch ballot.
II is estimated that Ell Paso county
will return plurality for the Repub-
llcan state ticket OF 1900. while the
scratches on the county and judicial
tickets will cut down the plurality on
those candidates to 1900. The
scratching is the heaviest In the his
tory OF the county.
In Colorado Springs the proposition
for charter convention was lost by
2 to /.
: Pueblo.-Secretary Benjamin F.
Kepperlik OF the Republican county
committee claims that the Republi-
cans have carried Pueblo county by d
small majority. The Democrats
claim, on straight ballots. that in
tbirty-six out OF forty-two precincts
Adams has majority of $50. The
Republican secretary claims that the
Adams plurality will be overcome on
the counting OF the straight ballots.
The Socialist vote Is light, as Is the
Lindsey vote.
Sixty precincts In the city and
county show majority of between
800 and 1,1O0 for Adams on the
straight ballots. About sixty two and
one-half per cent. OF the Pubic vote is
scratched.
At the Democratic headquarters re-
ports from Pueblo county are coming
in slowly. From present indications
the entire Democratic county ticket is
elected. Adams is running even with
the rest OF the ticket. Fully sixty per
cent. Of the vote was scratched. The
country precincts give good Demo
cratic majority. while In the city most
of the ballots which were scratched
were Republican. Gabbert is running
far behind his ticket. Eleven city and
county precincts give Adams $40,
Buchtel 1856. Lindsey 107.
Boulder. Throughout Boulder
county sixty per cent. Of the ballots
were scratched and it will be late in
the morning before the vote can be
definitely announced. Sufficient re-
turns have been received, however. to
indicate tremendous falling of OF
the Democratic vote in hitherto Demo-
cratic strongholds. The coal camps
have gone for Haywood. and Superior.
a Democratic stronghold, has give the
socialists clear majority.
Lafayette, which gave Governor
Adams 315 majority two years ago,
gives him but fifty to-day. Indications
arc that Lindsey will receive 600
votes, chiefly in Boulder and Long
mont. The total will be about $500.
George M. Williams. Republican
county chairman, claims that Buchtel
has carried the county by 800. This
II disputed by Harry Cassidy, Demo
cratic county chairman, who claims
Adams has carried the county by q
narrow margin. Indications are, ac-

that the dream was SO real that she

and as she was afraid OF him, she
wanted him arrested.
