CHANCE FOR DENVER.
Bill for Federal Building Passed by
Senate.

Washingten.-The Senate Tuesday
passed the Teller bill appropriating
$2,500,000 for a federal building at
Denver, which was called up by Sen
ator Patterson by unanimous consent
The chances for the passage of the bill
in the House are remote. but there is
a slight possibility of ultimate success
of the measure should there be an ON
nibus building bill passed at this ses
sion of Congress
1t is stated that the purpose OF the
House building committee is to report
an omnibus bill carrying not more
than an aggregate of $25, 100000 and to
include no single item of more than
100000, which would eliminate Den
yer. Should the bill pass the House
1t would undoubtedly be amended in
the Senate and many buildings added
which would be omitted in the House
bill
An opportunity would thus be given
20 include Denver, which would not be
overlooked by its friends and there
would be fighting chance to get the
amount carried in the bill which
passed Tuesday added to the omnibus
bill with view to holding it in con-
ference and securing its retention
when final action should be reached.
While the House buildings commit
tee and postmaster general are advo-
eating independent postofflce buildings
for cities of the class of Denver at a
cost not to exceed 100000, this plan
is not endorsed by the supervising
architect nor by the Senate commit
tee on public buildings, who contend
that it is more economical for the gov
ernment and more convenient for the
transaction of public business to have
adequate public buildings to accom-
modate all classes of he government
work.

Profit in Trees.

Get right away from the idea that
because trees do not grow and ripen
IS fast as other crops. forestry in the
Woodlot will benefit future generations;
only, says Farming for March. Most
forest trees will reach commercial
size well within an ordinary lifetime.
and many of them in a much shorter
period. Did it ever occur to you that
this country Offers to-day few invest
ments which equal in safety and in net
returns the thrifty-growing tree of a
commercially valuable kind? Don't
fall into the way OF thinking that the
only interest which a tree yields is its
annual growth. That in itself shows
fair return. But your trees are not
only increasing in size: they are also
Increasing rapidly in value. A few
days work in the woodlot each year
will yield more money for the same ef-
fort than any other work on the farm.
This Is strong statment. but the facts
bear 1t out.

TO PREVENT LYNCHlNG.
Fears That St. John Will Be in Dan
ger at Telluride.

Denver.-The News says: Governor
Mcdonald has been asked to prevent
the lynching of Vincent st. John when
he is taken to Telluride by Sheriff Ru-
tan. The governor was notified yester-
day by J. G. Williams, vice president
of the Western Federation of Miners,
that he had learned through relatives
Of ST. John that Il conspiracy had been
formed to seize St. John as soon as he
reached Telluride and hang him. Will
liams urged the governor to prevent
the carrying out of such scheme by
the use of his full authority. Replying
to the letter, Governor Mcdonald
stated that he would see that St. John
was given full protection.
Referring to the matter afterward
the governor said that it was his in.
tention to communicate with Sheriff
Rutan and tell him the contents OF Mr..
Williams letter: that personally he
had no fear of mob violence, but that
he would instruct the sheriff to use ev
cry precaution to protect his prisoner.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market here last week was dull and not
very satisfactory. Receipts were about
thousand less than the preceding
for anything except the choice beef
cattle. Strictly choice beef steers and
cows sold fairly well under a good de-
mand, although even these are a little
lower than week ago on account OF
the general decline. Common grades,
however, were slow and prices about
a quarter lower. Best steers brought
$40 and prices ranged largely from
this down to $500. Some fancy hay
fed cows from Wyoming brought $i.G5,
the highest price paid here for many
months. Other cows sold at $3.7o,
with most of the better grades at $500
to $3.G5. Good cows sold well and
are very nearly steady, but all others
are q quarter lower. Bulls were In
good demand and sold at strong prices.
Veals were also active and closed lit
tie higher, tops selling at $G.75 during
the week. The feeder and stocker
trade was very dull Eastern markets
report very light demand and deal
ers here were slow to take hold, as
most everything forwarded TO other
markets lost them money. Prices are
Is to 25 cents lower than week ago.
The hog supply was fair, but pack
ers would have bought good many
more had they been here Tops are
still selling around $6.15.
Sheep receipts have been very good,
but bulk were billed through to east
ern markets and merely stopped here
to feed. Several lunches Of ewes were
offered and sold readily under a good
demand at $4.75 to $4.S5, little
stronger than the preceding week.
The demand for lambs is light here.

Frank S. Monet, Clifford Thorne and

to get from Mayer an admission that
there was any connection between the

Tank Line Company, the Republic Oil
Company. the Water-Pierce Oil Com
fany and other companies To all
questions Mr.. Mayer answered:

the close of his testimony he was rcpri-

Attorney General Hadley of Mis-
souri, was notified by an attorney for
the Standard Oil Company that the
only testimony given in the Missouri

Mr.. Cockrell had asked Mayer:
Iell this commission, are the Re

Oil Company part OF the Standard Oil
Company?"
Il do not know, sir"

Don't YOU feel and know in your
heart that they are all part and parcel
Of the same company"
Il do not know"
Don't you feel in your heart it is
so?"
Il don't know. sir"
Then the veteran senator slapped the
desk with his fist and said, severely:
II am tired and sick of this effort
made by Standard Oil people to con-
ceal this fact. when every man, woman
and child knows it is So Now every
body wants the truth told here, and
why don't you tell 1t? Every tub
ought TO stand on its own bottom and
you folks ought not to dodge this ques-

land farming methods.
In his address before the Denver
Chamber of Commerce, Professor Pad,
dock, of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, said THE college hopes to es-
tablish a short course for fruit grow
ers, which will be arranged so the
growers will not have to come to the
school. but the school will go to them.
It is planned so representatives Of the
school can go to any point designated
by applicants and give one or two
weeks horticultural course for adult
fruit growers. We expect ia have this
scheme perfected by heSt year"
