What Becomes Of the Dimesf

What Becomes Of the Dimesf
In soma parts OF the country trouble
u reported on account of the scarcity
- dimes. What becomes of the
dimes? An Official in Washington sug-
Eests that because the country is pros
porous people keep dimes in their
pockets to hear them jingle. This po-
sition is not tenable, because any other
coin would Jingle Just as well, and II
people are so prosperous as to find
pleasure in jingling coins in their pock-
cts they would be likely to use larger
ones for the purpose. The penny-in-
the slot machines are held responsible
for scarcity of pennies. Street car
lines and automatic telephones accu-
mulate nickel five-cent pieces, but
there is no particular use for dimes
that would cause them to be concen-
trated in the hands of few corpora
tons. 1t is not likely that they are
hoarded in children's savings banks
to the extent that pennies and nickeIs
are, because It does not take many
dimes to make dollar, and dollars
are deposited In banks where they
draw interest and then the coins are
released to go back into circulation.
Estimating the coinage of dimes since
the publication OF the last report Of
the director of the mint as averaging
the same as In the last few years re-
ported, there have been coined from
1892 TO the present day, says the Chi
cago Tribune, about $40. 900, 900 dimes.
More than half of these, however, have
been coined in the last 20 years. and
the older ones have largely disap-
peared from circulation. In the year
1903 the different mints of the United
States received nearly 100000 dimes
which were retired as uncurrent, a
number almost exactly equal to one
third the coinage for the year. 1t is
probable that there are not in circula-
tion more than three dimes for each
inhabitant of the United States The
slight relation which the total coinage,
or even the amount outstanding, bears
to the amount in circulation is shown
by the fact that there are still out
standing about 100000 half cents, 2S,-
100000 two-cent pieces, and 100000 900
nickel three-cent pieces which no one
ever sees, and which may have been
lost or melted long ago. but are still
on the treasury books as outstanding.
In view OF the statistics the scarcity
of dimes need not be wondered at.
The only extraordinary thing is that
anyone should complain. There is
nothing dime will buy that cannot
be paid for in other coins with almost
equal convenience. Any kind of mon
ey is good II there is plenty alto
igether.

Europe Buys Colorado Fruit.

Denver. Within the near future Col
orado and Utah fruit will be shipped
to Europe, according to c. E. Whistler
of Elgin, near Thompson, on the Den
yer & Rio Grande. Mr.. Whistler has
just received the bill of lading for four
cars of pears purchased month ago
by him at Palisade, which he shipped
to the New York market. OF these four
cars one was shipped to Liverpool and
the consignees were so delighted with
the lruit, which was the P. Berrey
pear that more orders are being
booked for next summer.
Mr.. Whistler has been in Kansas,
where he has purchased $4,000 peach
trees for his orchards and will install
nearly as many pears before the be-
ginning of next season. He was until
this year president of the Palisade
Fruit Growers Association and is one
of the best known fruit men on the
western slope.

NEW SUGAR FACTORIES.
Prospect That Weld County VIII Hav
Them.

Greeley, Colo.--Work will be started
at once on the Fort Lupton reservoir,
to cost $4,000, situated about one mile
east of the town. 1t will conserve the
surplus over-appropriation water of the
Fulton ditch and draw on other streams
and seepage for its supply. The reser-
voir will hold supplemental water for
about 1000 acres of land in the vicinity
Of Fort Lupton, hitherto handicapped
for late irrigation water, but capable
of producing big crops
Now that the reservoir Is assured the
initial movement for a sugar factory at
Fort Lupton was begun to-day, when a
committee of citizens went to Denver
to meet contractors and experts and
talk on the building of factory on the
land watered by this reservoir.
1t is argued by the beet growers that
the land of the Greeley and Platte river
district could furnish sufficient beets to
support sugar factory every five
miles. This is generally regarded as
the solution of the problem of long
hauls and waits now experienced, as
with the establishment of more fac
tories farmers would be able to haul
the crop directly to them, saving labor
and time.
Peckham is the locality in which the
next sugar factory will probably be
built Denver capitalists have been
here this week looking over the
ground and the choice lay between La
Sale and Peckham, with the latter
place proving the more acceptable.
Now all the beets in the Peckham dis
trict, thirteen miles from here, are
shipped to the Greeley factory.
Ault people are also working hard
for a sugar factory, with a good pros
pect of getting it. There is no doubt
that with the extension of bitches the
building of more reservoirs and an in
crease of the cultivated area, more
factories will be built

! 1.-THE obstacle to salvage at great
depths is pressure" says the Marine
Review. Little is attempted beyond
"a depth of SO feet, by reason of 1t.
With his new diving suit M. de Pluvy,
the French hydraulic engineer, has,
however. made considerably more
than 100 descents, reaching depths Of
j150 to 800 feet-much below the limits
iof ordinary diving. No air is received
from the outside. The dress consists
of an armor of sheet metal from one
fifth to one-third of an inch thick, with
Joints and coupling points of pressed
Heather and rubber, and helmet with
two cylindrical regenerating chambers
attached. The air circulating through
the helmet has its oxygen continually
{renewed by chemicals in these cham
Ibers, regulating valves keeping the
pressure in the helmet constant at all
depths. Mounting and descending are
effected by cable carried on drum
driven by an electric motor, and this
cable also carries the current need
for the respiratory apparatus. The
diver communicates with the surface
by telephone, while wires run from
the armor to electric lights that show

fined sugar about every half minute.
Invitations were sent out to people

SHORTAGE OF cAas.
Railroads Blamed for Failure to
Handle Sugar Beet Crop.

Denver.--As a result OF the shortage
in freight cars with which to move the
product, a conservative estimate has
been made that fully twenty per cent
OF this years crop of sugar beets in
northern Colorado may be lost. The
yield has been enormous this year and
farmers everywhere have been pros
porous. but 1t now seems likely that
cold weather will overtake the grow
ers and knock off at least the per-
centage above stated.
ID. r. Statler, member OF the
State Horticultural Board, is authority
for the statement. He has visited
numerous places throughout the beet
fields of northern Colorado and is ia
miliar with conditions. His home is at
Fort Lupton. When seen Wednesday
at the rooms of the Horticultural So
ciety In the state house, he said:
Il believe now that the farmers in
this section of the state are likely to
lose at least twenty per cent. of
their output. The beets have run
splendidly, reaching as high as eight
cen tons to the acre, and If the weather
keeps good portion of those still in
the ground may be saved. 1t is hardly
to be expected, however, as the season
is very late now.
Il ascribe the loss as the result Of a
shortage Of freight cars, the railroads
having failed to move the product
with anything like dispatch. think
also that the beet sugar factories had
all they could do to take care of the
shipments received, and the enormous
production this year undoubtedly
means the building of more factories
in the near future. There is a strong
disposition on foot at Fort Lupton to
erect a factory, and this will undoubt-
edly be DONE"
w. s. Coburn, president of the Hor-
tlcultural board, wrote a letter stating
that the shortage of railway equipment
has hurt the transportation of fruit
very greatly this year, some of the
perishable fruit and vegetables having
he believes is safe and will be moved
without much loss.
Everywhere the lack of freight SER
vice has wrought direct loss to pro-
ducers. There is a general feeling that
Colorado shippers have been consid-
cred with indifference by the roads,
and this has created much interest in
the establishment of railroad COM
mission In this state by the Legisla-
ture.
Officials OF the Great Western Sugar
Company have stated that while the
sugar factories now in operation are
working up to their full capacity at
present, they will be able to handle the
entire crop as fast as it gets to them.
The delays are put directly up to the
railroads by the factories.

Building New Aeroplane.

Paris.-In a few days M. Santos
Dumont expects to have completed the
construction of a model of a new aero
plane for 1907. The aeronaut declared
that the present Bird of Prey" is no
more than an experimental machine,
and that the new machine would be
little like it. The wings of the present
machine had been built much larger
than necessary in order to enable him
to execute essential preliminary expert
ments. He had employed canvas as
easy to handle. The Lebaudy dirigible
war balloon has made a successful
ascension at Nantes.

GREAT LIVESTOCK SHOW.
Biggest Thing Of the Kind Ever Seen
In Chicago.

Chicago-With 10000 persons tu-
multuously applauding the final event,
the first day of Chicago's seventh an
nual International Livestock Exposi-
tion came to an enthusiastic conclu-
sion in the big exposition building, at
the stock yards, at IL o'clock Satur-
day night.
The attendance for opening day
63.O0O-was the largest in the history
of the exposition. and the prediction
of the management is that this sea-
sons total will exceed the figures of
last year by at least 100000.
The first day found more than 5000
animals on exhibition, and from admi-
ration of these the crowds turned in
the evening to the attractions in the
great arena, which for the first time
were confined to displays of equine
beauties.
OF these Sir Thomas Lipton's sad
die horse, Erin Go Bragh, won not
only plaudits of the spectators. but
also the encomiums of the judges,
and carried off the first prize in the
walk, trot and canter class.
The final event, which held the
crowd to the last, was for heavy and
light hunters. In the former first
prize was taken by B. Schilling's en-
try, with L. A. Swift second and H. v.
Ramussen third.
Among the prominent agricultural
educators and celebrated livestock ex-
perts seen in and about the building
and at the Saddle and Sirloin Club dur
ing the day were. Prof w. j. Carlyle
of Fort Collins, Colorado; Prof G. F.
