Five feet of snow was the fall record

A government survey of the lands OF
Delta and Montrose counties was just

be piece of work that would take aoout
a year.
Rio Grande surveyors were working
in the North Fork and had just sent
word that it was impossible to follow

count of the snow.
Blair, then editor, said of Montrose
that if creation was represented by the
outlines of an elephant the spot further

WANTS HATcHET BRIGADE.
Mrs. Nation Talks Plainly to People Of
Denver.

Denver.-It was warm day Monday
to reform the world, but Carry Nation.

into the limelight, is person whom
the curious always flock to see, conse-
quently there was big audience at
the Peoples Tabernacle. Mrs. Nation S
eccentricities extend to such things as
the misspelling of her front name,
which she always signs Carry" in
stead of Carrie
Mrs. Nation was dressed in white
and looked cool and comfortable. Peo-
Pile evidently were disappointed by the
peaceable, motherly appearance of the
reformer, but they gave her an en-
thrsiastic welcome.
What is 1t to be Christian?" asked
Mrs Nation. TT is to be a warrior
She then went on to cite passages from
the Bible to prove that the devil must
be overcome Dy force.
I'VE must destroy" she said. THAT
Is what the hatchet does. Everyone
should consider himself as hatchet.
Mrs. Nation assured her women hear
ers there was no danger of a hatchet
wielder acquiring the hatchet face. She
said the women are the ideal hatchet
wielders of the world. She explained
the evils that were going on in Den
yer, dwelling at some length on the
wickedness of the restricted quarter,
which, with faithful band of women,
whom she designated human
hatchets," she proposed to purify by
radical means.
One man arose and begun to argue
for caution. But caution is word not
in Carry Nations vocabulary.
II can't hear you, friend" called Mrs
Nation from her platform to the man
in the back of the room. What we
want is ito agitate-if necessary, to
'hatchetate.
The audience laughed and the man
sat down.

In the Court of Love.

The grave problem of matrimony-
grave for the unmarried, still graver
for the married-is opened under a
new and troublous aspect by the keen
remarks of magistrate Of New York
who has the fortune to be known as
"the happy little Judge" Like all
philosophers. says the Chicago Post,
the happy little judge is the wiser be-
cause he is unconcerned. He has
reached the haven, II not the port, of
widowerhood. From these calm wa.
ters he launches his torpedo against
the Haunting craft of single bliss. He
declares that nine out of every ten
men over 30 years of age brought be-
fore him are unmarried. Marry young,
he admonishes. Few single men are
truly great. All men who wish to sue.
ceed should marry.

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Diaested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong If the break

A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with

more than a year / have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means saving Of nervous

to want to testify to the value of

Generous to American Farmers


Secretary Wilson says 1t would re.
uuire an investment Of $3.50, 200, 900 at
two per cent. to produce revenues
enough to run the department OF agri-
culture for one year. This is an Illus
tration, he said, Of what is being done
or the farmer. The income of the de-
partment Is little more than $11,-
10000 a year. and when the new meat
inspection law, the work of extermi-
mating the cattle fever tick and the
gypsy and brown-tailed moth and the
investigation Of dry land farming have
been put In operation, the department
will have pay roll of over 5000 per-
sons. About half Of these are scien-
lists, trained along special lines. The
average salary is less than 5000 year.
Over 100000 pieces Of literature are
circulated each year and this amount
will be greatly increased as new lines
Of investigation are begun. One Of
the new lines provided for this year
is grain inspection and this promises

liners Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made 1t is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, SO he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stun. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once
day and collect the rubber.

People Like the cities.


Large cities grow larger at . tre
0endous rate. The rural and semi.
rural communities are steadily drained
Of their population to feed the towns.
In NO part Of the United States is this
rehabilitation proceeding more rapid
ly than In the great agricultural states
Of the west. Census bureau figures
show that during the past ive years
~ out OF los counties in Kansas
showed a loss Of population. In Iowa.
all but 20 Of the 80 counties Of the
state have now fewer Inhabitants than
they contained in 1900. In Pennsyl-
vania the growth of Philadelphia has
been much more rapid than the
growth of the rural portion OF the
state. It Is often wondered who lives
In all the new houses that are built In
this city. says the Philadelphia Press.
Dwellings are going up at the rate OF
over 1000 a month. The natural
growth of the city would fill some OF
these new houses. but not all Of them.
1t requires the steady stream Of rural
population that Is constantly flowing
In this direction. Why do they come?
The freer and gayer life attracts
many. The hopes Of a larger field for
the development Of their ambitions
lures others. Perhaps motives less
honorable than any Of these impel still
more to seek seclusion in the wilder
ness of streets" The best and the
worst undoubtedly come. AS result
Of the immense growth Of the cities,
the problem of governing them prop
erly and OF making them beautiful and
attractive is steadily increasing in i'm
portance. 1t has come to be true that
the biggest questions in government
are local.

Washington.-Ass soon as inventories
have been taken of the contractors
outfit seized by the Geological Survey
at Corbett tunnel and Shoshone dam,

Wyoming, consideration will be given
to plans of completing these great con.

Clarkson at Shoshone dam to live up
to the terms of their contracts is be-
ing investigated and may have some
bearing on the method of completing
