days will be spent in each port and

officers and men will be granted

Notifications will be sent by

Of the stops to be made at British,

that the four smaller golfers, the

In addition to the stores mentioned
the company will operate stores at

Mr.. Coltharp has not disposed of

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, ms they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the eur. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an tnflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Fustachian Tube. When
this tube fs infiamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine Gu
ses out of ten are caused by Cntarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for any
cnse OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Spreading the Gospel"

On returning from his trip through
Rio Blanco and Rouut counties, Gem
eral Beaver, who during his visit to
Meeker, made such a favorable i'm
preston on our citizens, is quoted by
Denver Republican reporter as fol-
lows:
81 haven't words enough to express
my wonder at what / have seen,"
said he yesterday. II thought knew
all about Colorado, as l have been
visiting this state and travelling
through it for number of years, but
] find that you can learn little from
railroad view; you must go through
the country to see it, The people
here themselves do not realize what
great untleveloped resources they pos
sess. That those great valleys along
the White and Bear Rivers have
waited so long for development, is
simply astonishing. OF course 1t
takes railroad to bring in the peO-
pie, and people is what is wanted to
build country like that. There are
thousands of acres Of land and mil
lions Of feet of water only waiting to
be brought together. 1t is as simple
as C. 1t takes money. Sure it
does, but capital is never wanting
when there are such opportunities.
l have many friends with money just
looking for such II chance. Will
they invest? They will If l can make
them believe what have seen, and
/ have fair reputation for telling
the truth"
Mr.. Kittredge, conservative, hard
headed New England banker, was
fully as enthusiastic as General
Beaver.

tenements If they have the courage
to marry, find more and more that
their position is one of anxious depen-
dence, and that the imaginary charms
of city life disappear to leave Moth
ing but the depressing reality OF
buildings jammed together to the ex-
clusion of light and of air, or OF an all
pervading noise and dirt, of routine
which gives but n bare subsistence
in the present and holds out no prom
Use for the future. In the vast ma
jority of cases such must be the re-
suit, and while country life may nave
some serious drawbacks, it is plain
that these young men made capital
mistake when they came to consider
the question of opportunity through
m ignorant contempt of their familiar
surroundings. If instead OF indulg-
ing in dreams of fortune building in
the city they would stick to the
country, they would be ten thousand
times better off.

The Heavens Wept.

A young Meeker gentleman in dis
cussing the weather recently account
ed for the continuous showers In
rather unusual manner-claimed that
''the heavens were weeping In SYM
pathy with him because his sweet
heart is leaving the valley" The
HERALD reporter overheard the po-
etic explanation for the damp spell,
grasped the idea and Immediately
stntfed it into the Office poetry mill.
He then gave the crank just three
revolutions and out dropped the fol-
lowing:
It's snid that the heavens are weeping,
Yes, weeping, dear, day after day;
The sun through the clouds bnrcly peeping
Because you nre going away.
If such is the ease my dear girl,
We earnestly ask you to stay,
At least I'LL the snowy flakes whirl,
For then wen be through with the hay.
And then If you will you may go,
II you promise to come back again
And with your bright eyes melt the snow,
And so help us along with spring grain.

ing out of order. Reporter.

Colorado as Horse Market.

Homer Davenport has just loaned
his pet Arabian stallion, Nejdran,
says Denver paper, to the United
States government, for an experiment
in ths-cosaparative merits Of horse
flesh. The Stallion will be ridden
across the continent, from Portland,
Ore, to the Davenport farm at Nor
ris Plains, N. j., by an army officer
in full kit. The distance is nearly
8. 200 miles, and the horse is expected
to accomplish it at the rate of forty
miles per day. Horse and man will
be weighed at the beginning and end
of the trip, and, when it is finished,
Mr.. Davenport believes Uncle Sam
will enter the Arabian horse market
at once.
However this may be, there is no
doubt that II Nejdran stands the test
well Arabian horses will be in de-
mand in this country, if not for the
army, then for something else. Mr..
Davenport knows what he is talking
about when horses are the subject of
conversation, and we prefer his judg-
ment to that of the average army
board by quite u wide margin. And
we wish to call attention to this:
The Arabian horse owes his desirable
qualities to two things. First, to GEN.
turies of careful breeding; and sec
ond to his life in a high, dry, bracing
climate. 1t can hardly be an acci-
dent that the fancy horsehesh for the
last 1900 years has been brought from
the dry, elevated plateaus of Western
Asia and Northern Africa. Other
peoples have bred their horses just as
carefully, and it is fair to lay the diff
ference In results to the difference in
climate.
The climate and conditions of Col
orado are more like those where the
horse attained his highest perfection
than any other on the western con-
tincnt. There is no reason why the
arid lands of the West should not be
famous in the horse markets of the
world. The day of the draft horse is
passing. But the day of the horse as
companion and friend and play
thing Of man will never pass. And
for the breeding of such horses Col
orado has tremendous advantage
over every competitor. 1t may well
be that the ride of Lieutenant Nc
Cabe on Nejdran will mean more to
the ranchmen of this state than to
the army.

Rush to the Cities.

1t is said that the annual increase
of Chicago's population is from 10000
to 10000, and among the newcomers
every year are young men from the
country who are victims of the notion
that opportunity awaits them in the
cities alone. Under this delusion
they condemn themselves very prob
ably to the disappointments of an
overcrowded labor market. If they
get work It is at small wages or sal
ary; they must live in cheap board
ing houses, pass from them to cheap

Reader, do you know what will be
one of the first things the average
visitor to our town will notice when
he steps off the train at the depot and
walks down the street to town? He
will look to see in what condition the
lawns are kept; whether or not the
weeds are cut; and the general ap-
pearance of the yards, and his opin-
ion of the town will be largely formed
from the conclusions he draws from
these things. More especially is this
so If he is hunting for location, for
he knows that these things reflect
the business condition of the town
and its citizens. On the End, 3rd and
4th of September will be held our
Third Annual Fair, and Well have
an unusually large number of visitors
at that time. Don't you think it
would be good policy on our part to
commence now to NOW the lawns
and cut the unsightly weeds and Chi
co brush which now adorn (?) some
Of the property along our streets?

tion.-Hotchkiss Times.
