Machine Sew. Bags of Flour.

One of the recent inventions for mill
ers is an ingenious machine which takes
an empty sack, fills it with flour to ex-
actly the desired weight, and then sews
up the bag more neatly than can pos
sibly be done by hand. Nine hundred
bags per hour Is the maximum capacity
of the machine.

are the sources of the water supply for
the irrigated lands in the valleys and
the irrigation interests demand their
protection from indiscriminate and
careless logging, and overgrazing by
sheep and cattle.

cluded. What little there may be can

examine such lands as rapidly as they
are applied for under the Homestead
act.
Holy Cross Additions.
The addition adjacent to Glenwood,
| Colo, was recommended three years
ago, after careful examination on the
| ground. The area covers a large por-
| ton of the watershed of the stream
which supplies the town of Glenwood
| with its water supply. 1t contains a
considerable area of valuable timber
land, which was rapidly being cut off.
| In the timberlands and in the opens
and brush lands there is considerable
stock owned in the adjacent valleys.
For the preservation of the water sup
ply, 1t is very important that the tim
| ber be cut conservatively and the lands
protected from overgraZing. To sum
up, the tract added Is the source of the
water supply of growing town, and it
is of great Importance that forests and
| forest cover be protected.
| The other small area which has been
| added Is a timbered region which has
suffered severely from fire and is great
ly in need of protection.
Medicine Bow.
Approximately $4,000 acres of land
have been added to the Medicine Bow
National Forest. This area is nearly
| all in Colorado, and covers both slopes
of the continental divide. The lands lie
above an altitude of 5000 feet, and are
without value for agriculture. The
! water supply of Boulder and the ada
cent agricultural region rises in those
lands, and local experience clearly
shows that these mountain lands must
be protected from overgraZing and de-
struction of the timber if the water sup
| ply is to be kept at its maximum.
Conditions in regard to the lands ad-

but was unsuccessful.
The Culley team will go to Mound
City next Sunday, the first game out

There is talk Of organizing a city

of the Weille team, with others are
working up interest in the venture.
Manager John Holland. of the
Weille team, disputes the victory Of
the Culley team yesterday. alleging
that his team was victorious by a
score Of 6 to 5. because four score:

inning. He says that his team was
not complete and the game merely q

LOSES SIGHT OF EYE.
Mrs. Saunders Fowler Suddenly
Stricken Blind.

Mrs. Saunders A. Fowler will leave
tonight for St. Louis to consult a
specialist about the loss of sight in
her left eye. Last Friday afternoon
when Mrs. Fowler awakened from
nap, she was unable to see out OF
either of her eyes, but bathing and
attention brought back the vision OF
the right eye, which now is normal.
The left eye. however. continues to
be partially blind and occulists and
here attribute 1t to blood
clot forming over the pupil There
was no indication whatsoever Of
trouble in her eyes before she awal1-
ened out of nap Friday afternoon.
The physicians here hold out the hope
that the vision in the left eye will not
be permanently impaired.

CASE TRIED THIS AFTERNOON.

Senator j. Wheeler Campbell and
Attorney Hal Corbett pulled off an
"Alphonso and Castor" stunt this
morning in circuit court, when the
case against Charles Kellock for ma
licious shooting and HOUSEKEEPING
was called. Judge Reed had APP
pointed Attorneys Campbell, Clay &
Clay to defend Kellock, and in the
meantime Attorney Corbett received
a letter from the prisoners mother
directing him to defend her son,
and inclosing a fee.
This was the state of affairs when
Kellock was led into the court room.
He remained silent while the attor-
neys talked. Campbell insisted that
Corbett take the case since he had
been employed, and Corbett was as
courteous. and insisted in turn that
Campbell and the Clays act.
After much arguing Corbett was
prevailed upon to represent Kellock
and Immediately moved for contin-
uance until next term. This was re-
fused and the case was set for this
afternoon at o'clock. Corbett gave
Jas his reasons for a continuance the
absence Of witnesses.
Kellock was arrested a few hours
after the safe in Oscar Denkers sa-
loon. Eighth and Harrison streets
was blown. and two robbers engaged
in a pistol duel with Patrolmen Dick
Wood and Billy Orr. His pistol was
still warm and an old penny, which
had been in Denker's cash drawer fol
years, was found In his pocket. II
is estimated that Kellock, who ha.
not spoken to any one about himself
OF case since arrested, will attempt
to establish an alibi.
