Colorado Soil Is Best.

People have often wondered how
long our marvelously rich soil here in
Colorado will continue to retain its
fertility without replenishment and we
are free to confess that the question is
beyond our ken. We have in mind
the case Of E. c. Phillips who owns "a
farm near Longmont in Boulder coun-
ty that has not failed once in period
Of twenty years. More remarkable
still, it has maintained almost a GER
tain average Of yield during that pc
liod, returns from each seasons har-
vcstpractically amounting to the same.
The farm consists OF $50 acres and is
one of the most modern in tina: part
Of the country. One hundred and fif-
ty acres are sown each year in wheat,
which yields from forty to flfty-tive
bushels to the acre. Last season he
had seventy-flve acres of beets and
also raised corn, oats, barley, alfal-
ia and considerable fruit. 1t may be
that the old theory that irrigation is
all we need to keep up fertility has
something in it. but We suppose Mr..
Phillips is farmer who understands
the advantages of rotation and this is
probably the secret of his success =

The Citizens Bank Installs New Safe

Wednesday afternoon new steel
safe was placed in the Citizens Bank
in Julesburg. The safe is guaranteed
to be absolutely burglar proof, and
of course is tire-proof also: it was
manufactured by the Manganese Steel
Safe company. and is of the best pat.
tern turned out by this celebrated
firm.
For week or ten days the new safe
will be on exhibition in the front part
OF the bank. and every one is invited
to call and examine it.
The proprietors of the Citizens
bank. by the purchase OF this new and
improved safe, have shown that they
intend to keep abreast of the times,
and to throw every safeguard posi-
BILE around their own and their Gus.
TONER'S money.
They have ever been solicitous OF
their customers welfare and theil
large and ever increasing business i,
evidence that their efforts have beer
appreciated. The Advocate con.
graduates them upon their enterprise
and we believe that their improved fa
cilit!es will prove profitable invest
ment to them.

The Delineator for February.

For the woman of fashion. the Feb
ruary Delineator, with its display of
spring styles, is most attractive
number. Besides the fashions there
is much OF interest for the general
reader. and the departments concern
ing the practical householder have
been abundantly contributed to-.
There are short stories by Zona Gale
and Margaret Beauchamp, with an in
teresting travel sketch entitled "In
Cairo with Camera" by Horace
Wyndham. Miss Winslow's story of
club life, "The President of Quex," is
continued gaining much in interest.
The collectors Manual" is conclud-
ed with an article on ''Old Time
Lights" For the children there is a
delightful girls serial "Sunlight and
Shadow" one of Alice Browns
"Gradual Fairy Tales" and amusing
games by Lima Beard. Mothers will
find DR.. Murray's paper on "Exer-
else and Physical Culture" particu-
larly helpful, and the numerous pages
devoted to matters of housewifely in
terest, such as cookery, gardening,
house furnishings, etc. will prove to
be of equal interest to the young house
wife.

It PAYS to Milk Cows.

P. Soderquist, prosperous ranch
man residing a few miles north OF
Julesburg, was pleasant business
caller at our Office last Monday. Mr..
Soderquist owns q well improved
ranch Of about 800 acres, and while
his real business is cattle raising he
adds considerable sum OF money
each year to his income by milking
COWS and selling cream to the Beat
rice creamery company. During nine
and one-half months Of last year he
milked on an average Is cows; from
these cows he sold during that time
cream to the amount Of $369.95, or
nearly $50. 90 per month. This is
equal to about $3.50 per month from
each COW, and is nearly all profit as
the cows were given no feed excepting
grass. When one calf is added to the
product OF each COW, it can be readily
seen that there is good profit in
milking cows.

Trouble On The Levee.

There was free-for-all flight
in "darktown" Tuesday night
and as a result Julesburg will
probably be well rid of it's color
ed population. During drunken
revelry at the home of Charles
Spencer, on Front street, a fight
occurred between Spencer and
another dark hued coal HEAVIER
named Williams. Spencer was
cut over the head and face with
razor in the hands of Williams,
and the latter was struck over
the head with chair by Spencer
and was also seriously bitten on
the hand by him. Marshal
Twomey quelled the disturbance
and early Wednesday morning
filed a com plaint in Justice Hin
shaW's court against Spencer
charging him with assault and
battery. Spencer pleaded prov
ocation as justification for as
saulting Williams, but the Justice
assessed fine of $1,000 and
costs against him. In passing
sentence Justice Hinshaw told
Spencer that five days would be
given him in which to pay his
tine, and that he would be sent to
jail at the end of that time if he
did not pay it. Spencer took the
hint and boarded through
freight train for the west soon
after his sentence had been inn
posed.
In the evening Marshal Twom-
ey caused Williams to be advised
that he would proably be arrest
ed Thursday morning if he was
still in town. He evidently de-
clded the town was growing too
warm for such as he and left on
an evening passenger train for
North Platte.
The families and the pickanin-
MES belonging to the outfit are
preparing to leave, and their de-
parture will rid the town of a
class of people that has become a
nuisance.
The Grit-Advocate believes
that such people should be run
out OF town as rapidly as they
come in. They are a menace to
public morals, and are altogether
anulsance. There are some 9TH
ers, possessing lighter complex
ions than those who have left,
whose departure would not be
calamity to the town, and it may
be necessary to impart to them
advice similar to that given Will
llams and Spencer.

Fiekle? We Think Not.

q. N. Linebarger, OF Julesburg,
Colorado, is shaking hands with
friends here this week and telling them
that Julesburg is the greatest place
on earth. In some ways h. N. is as
tickle as circus lemonade.-FortM Nor
gan Times.
II The Times means to insinuate
that Mr.. Linebarger is fckle as circus
lemonade because he tells the people
of that town that Julesburg is the
greatest place on earth, not excepting
Fort Morgan, then that paper has an
other guess coming. The fact that a
man considers Juleiburg the greatest
place on earth is evidence that he is
we'll balanced in every respect; that
he is level-headed, good judge of
localities and knows whereof he
speaks.
Mr. Linebarger admits that he first
became enamored of Colorado by u
visit to Fort Morgan. And he might
have said some fattering things OF
that town: but that was before he had
visited Julesburg. When he had seen
Julesburg, the infatuation he had felt
for Colorado when in Fort Morgan
became passion; he had found his
affinity; the place OF golden oppor.
tunity; the greatest place on earth.
Mr.. Linebarger dckle! Well, We
think not. He knew what he wanted
and kept going until he found it.
And he found it in Julesburg-the
greatest place on earth. Take anoth.

Water Works and Electric Lights

At an adjourned meeting of the
board Of town trustees last Monday
evening it was decided to pass the
question OF water works and electric
lights up to the property owners for
decision.
R. p. Mcdonald, of Denver, an cx-
perienced electrical engineer and
builder Of water works plants, was
present at the meeting and lie was
commissioned by the board to pre-
pare plans and specifications and SUBJ
init estimates of the cost OF the two
plants when operated in connection
with each other. AS soon as these
plans and estimates are prepared an
election will be called for the purpose
OF voting bonds for the construction
OF such plants.
The Grit-Advocate believes that the
people will vote the bonds, provided
the cost of the light and water plants
is found to be reasonable. Julesburg
il just starting upon an era of growth
and prosperity, and institutions which
have heretofore been considered un-
necessary are now becoming absolute
necessities.
OF course it might be possible to get
along without either water or light for
few years longer, but what's the
use? No one will deny that the town
needs water works If for no other reas
on than for protection against fires.
Besides, the plant would be self-sus-
tanning from the start, and would
eventually become a profitable in
vestment.
Electric lights might be considered
luxuries, but coal oil lamps were SO
considered at one time. There is no
system Of lights so good as those fur
nished by electricity, and for street
lighting purposes electric lights are a
necessity. The operation OF d system
OF electric lights by the town would no
doubt show profit after the first
year.
For these reasons and for various
other reasons which might be stated,
we believe that the property owners
should, and would, vote favorably on
the proposition of putting in the two
systems OF public utilities.
