Even the old timers in Rocky Ford
were stumped last Tuesday when it
was announced that two crates of
cantaloupes had been shipped from
Rocky Ford to Denver. This is the
first shipment Of the season. and ow-
ing to the late spring it was not
thought that any cantaloupes would
be shipped till well past the middle
Of August.
The cantaloupes were Of the Van
Buskirk variety and were grown by
Walter K. Murray. Mr.. Murray
last wear had Al acres in this variety
and realized from the crop $7l9.
This is particularly hardy canta-
loupe and will stand long distance
shiT ments in excellent shape. It is
expected that the standard crate
shipped Tuesday viii bring Sc. 90 and
the pony $3.50.
During the last two weeks the
heavy rains have caused marked inn
proyement in the crops. and it will
not be surprising if the czntaloupe
shipments assume big proportions
within the next two OF three weeks.

wife explicit directions as to the
burial Of his body. His suffering
was intense. as was plainly evidenced
to his friends who gazed upon his
features for the last time, cold in
death. but his transition into another
world was easy and peaceful. as from

friends.

the state committee Of the Independ-
ence league.

members Of the state committee met
and during the absence Of Chairman
Max Il. Ihmsen elected Thomas +.

mission was by card. Mr.. Long and

building and tells of the work so far
done. He quotes the recommendation
of Land Commissioner Bach regarding
the sale of capitol lands and contin-
ues:
| heartily Join In the suggestions
and recommendations OF Commission
er Bach. The law should be amended
SO as to authorize the commissioner
to go on and sell the lands. leaving
the minimum price to be fixed by the
board Of appraisal and allowing mort
cages taken for deferred payments to
be assigned without recourse and sold
at face value. and authorizing the
capitol commission to go on and COM

Irvine Plant at the PenitentIary.
At the last general election an
amendment to the constitution was
ratified directing the legislature to
provide for tax In 1907 of not to ex-
ceed 11a mills on each dollar OF the
| assessed valuation of all taxable prop
erty In the state for the purpose OF
establishing, installing. maintaining
and operating o hard fiber twine and
cordage plant at the state peniten-
tiary. Under this provision 1t becomes
your duty to make such levy or to au-
thorize and direct the state board OF
assessment to make 1t at its annual
meeting for the year 1907.
In addition to the foregoing, which
I have presented as measures OF great
Importance pressing upon your atten-
tion, are many other subjects which
you will be required to consider.
Adequate appropriations must be
made for the maintenance of the ma
tional guard In an efficient and credita-
bic manner.
The department Of history suggests
several matters worthy Of legislative
action.
A law providing for the construc-
tion, maintenance and supervision OF
good roads will be proposed.
Measures further regulating the
| sale of intoxicating liquors.; requiring
| personal service In all actions for di-
| vorce; requiring persons practicing
the art Of healing to procure license;
| providing for the appointment OF a fire
/ warden--these are some of the other
| measures you will be called upon to
1 consider.
/ It Is my wish that you may have a
| pleasant and profitable session and
| that you will roake record for your
selves and for the state which you
serve that will always hereafter bring
to you that solace and qualification
| which comes from the faithful per-
formance of duty.

Buchtel, chancellor of Denver univer-

Colorado during the day and for the

Charles Brady has been placed under

the recent wreck on the Northern Pa

A New State Capitol.

The present statehouse was built by
the citizens OF Pierre In 1889 between
Oct. / and Jan. 7, 1885, 1t was donated
to the state. So likewise was the
ground upon which 1t stands donated
to the state by the Western Town Lot
company.
This wooden building, hastily con-
structed, without cost to the state, has,
with some additions and repairs, been
used as a statehouse for sixteen years.
All OF the records and archives be-
longing to the state are all crowded
into this building. A fire once started
on windy day would destroy the en-
tire building and contents before hose
cart or fire engine could get within
reach. The loss Of the property OF the
state kept In this old building would
be irreparable. Besides this, 1t is
wholly inadequate for the present
needs. -

Regarding an antipass law, the
governor advocates one similar to that
enacted by congress, as the national
law only affects interstate transporta-
tion and does not reach the giving of
such favors within the state. The In
fluence of the pass evil is everywhere
felt, says the governor, and the evil
should be abolished root and branch.

Since the above was written and since
the coroner's inquest adjourned, consid-
cradle new evidence has been discovered
in this case which has led the County
Attorney and the family and friends of
the young man Radcliffe to ask for
further investigation and an autopsy.
1t is claimed by Ratcliffe's friends that
he was afraid of dynamite and would not
handle it; that he had been on intimate
terms with Everett and had been invited
to Croker Hill by Everett on various
occasions; that policy of thousand
dollars on Ratcliffe's life had been pre-
viously assigned to Everett. lin justice
to Everett it should be stated that he
has made arrangements with his counsel
to assign this insurance to the dead boys
mother.) 1t is also claimed that there is
a we'll defined cut in Ratcliffe's throat
some two inches or more in length and
that bloody knife has been found at
the scene of the tragedy.
County Attorney Barnes arrived from
Houlton Saturday night and Immediately
went to work on the case. As result
he took possession of the body immedi-
ately after the funeral services Sunday
afternoon and arranged for an autopsy,
which was made Monday morning at
Grace Thayer's undertaking room at
South Paris.
