Worthy Commentator.

In recent issue we had something
to say about the record of the last
legislature We called no names and
made no invidious comparisons. We
do not propose to do SO But while
many did well, and others did better,
and some did worse, we are glad TO
call attention to the generally good
service of the representatives from
our city, Messrs. Fred Pooler and
Charles f. Johnson. We do this with
the more pleasure because i'll many
political matters we are diametrical
" opposed to them in belief. But we
have no doubt that they did their
duty as they saw it. They worthily
represented their constituents.
In Mr.. Johnson the House had one
of it's very ablest and most eloquent
members. He was by all odds the
ablest member of the opposition, and
was able to measure lances with the
strongest and most adroit of the OPP
posite party. We do not approve of
his position on the liquor question
at all, As well as on some other purely
party matters, but in most matters OF
public interest he did yoeman service.
His was the brightest and best speech
on the capital removal matter, he
gave strong support to the initiative
and referendum, and many other
questions of interest to the state as a
whole. The generous course he pur-
sued in leading his party on the ref
erendum, saying if the majority did
not see fit to make the enactment
apply to the constitution he would
vote with them to apply it to the
statute laws, thus creating no opposi-
ton, and leading his party to vote
unanimously with the Republicans
this raised him in the esteem of all
his fellows. Charles is good fellow
anyhow, if he is a Democrat Water

Cause for Pride

Judge A. R. King, of Delta,
has just cause to be proud of the
unanimous endorsement that he
has received from the entire
press of the Western Slope.
When it became evident to the
editors that there was to be an
appointment made it seemed as
if they all turned instinctively to
King. We have not talked with
Mr.. King since the appointment
was made but understand that
there was considerable disap-
pointment in the deal for him.
To Judge King we wish to hold
out that the future may return
to him sufficient to recompense
him for the present disappoint-
ment. In the campaign that is
coming We'll go down the line
for King and place him in nom
nation for the position that he
failed to get by the grace of
Henry A. Buchtel, Governor of
the State of Colorado. At the
same time the Republican party
will fail to nominate his Excell-
ency, The Governor, and King
will yet be able to hold the high
hand and look down on the one
who turned him down because
some one told him to. o.-Paonia

HEELING IN TREES

There are some very good reasons
why it is better to have trees that are
intended for spring planting delivered
in the fall, the one drawback being the
difficulty of keeping the trees over
winter. The careless man should not
attempt it, but the person who takes
pains with his work need not fail
The trees should be unpacked as soon
as possible after they are received, to
guard against injury by drying or heat
ing; this will, of course, necessitate
heeling in. The bundles should also be
cut. for if left in packages it is difficult
to fill in the earth around all the roots.
A somewhat sloping position should be
chosen, and the ground should be pre-
pared by blowing deeply. and if too
dry, it must be made damp by irrigat-
or other means. There is little danger
of getting the soil too wet when trees
are heeled in for short time in the
spring, but too much water must be
guarded against in the fall. If the soil
is damp enough to work well, it will
be just right to keep the trees in
excellent condition through the winter.
A trench is now dug of sufficient
width to hold the roots of one row of
trees and of sufficient depth so that
when the trench is filled the roots will
be covered with two feet of earth.
The trees are placed in the trench. one
at time. with the tops sloping at an
acute angle up the grade. The earth
is now filled in, and pains must be taken
to BEE that it sits in around the roots.
leaving no open spaces. The toss are
now bent over to the ground and the
trunks and tops are covered with at
least six inches of earth. 1t is now
generally considered that one-year-
trees are the best for planting in Colo
RADIO, and trees of this age are certainly
much more easily protected than the
larger, olde. ones.
One nursery firm in the state has
made practice for several years Of
taking up all their fruit trees from the
nursery rows in the fall and protecting
them during the winter as above de-
scribed. Their stock invariably comes
out in the spring plump and fresh
quite contrast to the dried out, worth
less stock that too often comes to US
from the so-called cold storage cellars.
Care must be taken to see that the
covering is not allowed to remain on
too long in the spring. Much injury
results to most trees if growth has
started before they are planted; in the
case of sweet cherries this usually re-
suits in death. The exact time when
the covering may be removed from the
tops and trunks will depend upon the
locality and upon the season
