evening in helping Mrs. Sophia Florence
Diesenger celebrate the granting of her
divorce. The hostess was radiant as
she received the company, and the even

ing "reminiscences of lawyers and clerks
and judges the company had met.
Mrs Diesenger is from Pittsburg, a
city where no regrets are wasted over
the past and the very best is made of
unfortunate matrimonial experiences
Occasionally these divorce parties are
held at fashionable restaurants in New
York. Mrs. Diesenger's father, James
p. McQuaide, who belongs to coterle
of wealthy Pittsburg men who have
recently impressed their individuality
on the metropolis, has recently acquired
freedom himself.
His wife obtained a separation from
him in the courts of Rockland county,
and he was glad of it, for he declared
that she contracted $50, 900 worth of bills
u year and that his patience and his
purse could no further stand it.
His daughter was the wife of Albert
Diesenger, a Wall street broker, and she
is young and very handsome. Her we'd

NEW IRRIGATION. EXPERIMENTS
Fort Collins Department Hopes TO
BE Able to Save Thousands OF
Dollars for Farmers.

Professor E. P. Taylor. field entom-
ologist in this section for the state
experimental station said today that
the State Agricultural college at Fort
Collins will soon have some interest
1 ing news for the farmers OF this state
as soon as they are able to make
known the results of some expert
ments which are now being conduct
ed at the college. The experiments
now being made are said to be along
an entirely new line AMI II success
full will result in saving the farmers
thousands of dollars annually.
NJ. Taylor says there are over 500
different experiments now being car
ried on by the department and that
as a result of their work in this line
when the work is completed, the de-
partment hopes to be able to put irri-
CATION on a scientific basis. They
hope to be able to show just how
much water to use on the various
crops in the various kinds of soil.
At the beginning of the cropping
season Professor Olin and his assist
ants planted dozen plots of one
tenth acre each in beets on ground
ranging from a sandy loan to clay.
These plots are being cultivated
thoroughly after methods followed by
the most successful beet growers in
Colorado. One plot is being raised
by the dry farming method. Plot No.
is watered lightly when the plants
appear to need moisture badly. Plot
No. gets water in homeopathic
doses, being applied every ten days.
Plot No gets flooded frequently and
the remainder get varying treatment
from a moderate amount of water to
heavier irrigation than is practiced
by any of the farmers.
II is expected that exact figures Will
be obtained as to the action of water
on the plants. AT the conclusion of
the test sample beets will be sent
from each plot to professor NJ. A
Carleton of the United States depart
ment of agriculture at Washington,
where they will be analyzed for sugar
contents.
Extensive wheat growing expert
ments also are under way at the col
lego farm. In the main experiment
a dozen plots have been started and
the most successful types of wheat
in Colorado, including Durham, Tur-
ked Red and the original Defiance,
will be grown side by side. The con-
ditions under which this wheat will
be grown will range from drm farm
ing to heavy irrigation.

shoulders of three other boys.
Blackburn. with three other boys.
Dan Carpenter. Fred Snyder and
Everett Mann, were in the pool to-

having fun on the water toboggan.
1t was about 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing and the boys had made many
trips on the slide, The boys general
ly came down the chute in bunch,
each boy with his feet locked in front
of the one before him. Blackburn
conceived the idea of riding down in
the same manner only on the shoul-
ders of the other two and insisted on
trying the fete, although the other
boys protested that it was unsafe and
tried to discourage him in the notion
Persisting in having his own way
they finally allowed him to climb on
their shoulders and started down on
the trip. When the boys reached the
sharp surve upward in the bottom of
the chute, Blackburn toppled off the
boys shoulders on whom he was rid

of his back.
His three companions took him out
of the water unconscious and laid
him on the bank. A doctor was call
ed and worked with him nearly all
morning. Later in the evening he
was able to sit up and this morning
he was able to stand on his feet with
the aid of crutches.
He was unable to return to Grand
Junction last evening when, most of
the crowd from there who were in
attendance yesterday returned, but
win probably return today.
Mr.. Blackburn has been employed
by Goddard and Dills who are plas-
tering the new Marjorie block. Mr..
Goddard was in Glenwood yesterday
at the time when the accident hap
pened and stayed over last night in
order to be with the injured boy and
minister to his wants.

RATE MEASURE ASSURED
President Satisfied With Compromise
and All Obstacles to Passage OF
Bill Are Removed.

A Washington special says: Presl'
dent Roosevelt Friday afternoon made
formal announcement of his approval
of the amendment to the railroad bill
proposed by Senator Allison, which
solves the much discussed question OF
judicial review by simply conferring
full jurisdiction upon the circuit courts
of the United States to hear and de-
te-mine all complaints brought by the
railroads against the orders and reg
ulations Of the interstate commerce
commission and places no limitation
whatsoever upon the scope Of the
courts review.
This announcement was made to a
number of newspaper men summon
cd to the conference at the white
house. Some weeks ago the presi-
dent announced to similar confer
ence that he was giving his support
to the amendment Of Senator Long
providing for a narrow review. In
order to explain his reasons for the
apparent change of position on his
rart he talked freely and frankly with
the representatives of the press at
Fridays conference. Briefly stated,
the position Of the president is that
the Allison amendment does nothing
mare than affirm what he believes is
already in the Hepburn bill. While
scrne of the advocates of that meas
IRE have contended that it provided
no review, the president holds it did.
Tc meet the objection that without
specific confe'ring of jurisdiction the
bill might be held to be unconstitu-
tional, he favors the Allison amend
ment, though he would prefer the
Long amendment restricting the
courts to the consideration Of two
questions, first, whether the commits
sion exceeded it's authority; second,
whether any Of the constitutional
rights of the carrier had been in
vaded.
He admitted that it had been found
impossible to get the so-called rar-
row review republicans to agree to
the Long amendment, so the Allison
amendment was agreed to as the sim
plest possible solution.
The broad review element Of repub-
ncaus naturally regards this in the
nature Of a victory for them, since it
leaves to the courts to determine for
themselves the trend of the review,
with no legislative restrictions placed
upon them.

eyes to the fight OF the plgeun. II
winged a direct way to the WmcoW
where the other art students we're at
their work. Covertly peering across
the abyss the young man saw the bird
received in the arms Of its patron
esses. He knew that the engraved
name upon his card would be effective.
With great self-restraint Mamie
did not refer to the pigeon nor the
pigeon girls when next she came. Bur-
rick was afraid she would not return
at ell, but she did appear the next
morning, and after much coaXing and
fattering agreed to pose. In a fort
night she was herself again.
Then Fate grew careless. One
morning a white pigeon flew into the
window. From one Of its legs fiut-
tered a red ribbon and a card. Nan
ME pounced on the bird and endeavor-
ea to read the message. A portion OF
it was clear enough. Miss Fandane'
was engraved decently on the paste
beard. But in a corner, in the sprawl
ing confusion of the art nouveau OF
chirography was written, Thursday
eveling-pinOchle.'
What does that stuff in the corner
say?" asked the puzzled Mamie.
Thursday evening-pinochle.' That
means come around Thursday evening
and we will feed you on pinochle,
Burrick explained.
"Oh," said Mamie. Then she lapsed
into deep thought and later went
home.
While preparing for the pinochle
function Burrick discovered unmls-
taxable signs that his room had been
ransacked during the afternoon. He
found that all his belongings were
intact, with the possible exception OF
some stationery and doughnut. He
put the offence at the door of some
friend and was undisturbed. He for
got all about his trivial loss when
he later learned from Miss Vandane
that her pet pigeon was missing. The
Girl was inconsolable. The mystery
was tragic.
1t was more tragic the next morn
ing when in his mail Burrick received
a card reading: Miss Mamie, Friday
evening-pigeon pie. "-Arthur Price in
