Denver, Colo, Oct. IA remarkabl
automobile trip is engaging the atten-
ton of the owners of cars in this city.
The trip was made in a Great Smith
Automobile, 1907 model owned by Frank
j. Haffner. of the sWillianlson-Haffner
Engraving company of this city.
The trip was from Denver to ;Eldora
by way of Boulder and the famous Boul-
der canon, one of the most beautiful as
well as dangerous cenons in Colorado.
Tho car carried a full complement OF
passengers. including Mr.. Haffner, his
partner, Mr.. Harry NJ. Williamson,
Charles w. Archer, Raymond Smith and
Llewellyn Kiene OF Topeka. 1t left Den
yer early in the morning and made the
drive to Boulder IS miles, in about two
hours This part of the road is through
the Clear creek valley and is not diff
cult. A stop was made at Boulder for
an early lunch and then the ascent of
the canon to Eldora was commenced.
The road up the canon is hewn out of
the cliff and on one side is the precipitous
mountain and on the other the roaring
waters of Boulder creek. The objective
point is $500 feet higher than Boulder
and the grade often exceeds Is per cent.
The Haffner party had not gone far
up the canon until the stage from
Nederland was encountered. The four
horses driven to the stage were brought
up with a jerk, the passengers fell out
of the conveyance hurriedly the vehicle
was drawn close up against the cliff
and with a half dozen men at the
horses heads the car was driven slowly
past without accident, though the driver
cursed the autoists roundly and shout
ed: You have no business with that
blankety blank thing up in this canon
and unless you keep out will make it
blankety blank warm for YOU
The threat was overlooked after a few
hot rejoinders from Mr.. Williamson
about the rights of automobile drivers

but fortunately avoiding collisions. Of

driver can not see 25 feet ahead and the

A HARVEST FOR SPECTATORS.

the sale of tickets to the worlds series
games has been run in such a manner
that spectators have grabbed off al
most the entire issue.
The management took the names of
all persons wishing to reserve seats,
and when the sale opened dispensed the
pasteboards indiscriminately. One man
bought block of 200 and did -four

Today there are no tickets to be had

Oklahoma 4s, Chilocco O.

Arkansas City, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE
Oklahoma University team Friday
walked over the Chilocco Indians on the
Arkansas City field. The superior
training of Oklahoma was noticeable in
every play. The first touchdown was
made in two minutes and three touch
downs were scored before six minutes
of play had elapsed. This was the first
game of the season for the Indians who
have not yet received the attention of
a professional coach. Bonnie Owens has
his team in excellent shape and condi-
ton. This is the last game before Ok
lahoma meets Kansas university and 1T
was taken as something of an indica-
ton of the coming contest. The final
score was 43 to 0.
Oklahoma was penalized IS yards
while the Indians were only set back
10 yards. The feature of the game was
the work of Acton and Rudiclif of
Oklahoma. Acton is showing up in bet
ter form than last year when he was
Oklahomas star.

Moies and Their Meaning.

According to an old authority mole
on the right cheek or right arm signl-
fies happiness in love affairs; on the
right hand, happy marriage.
A mole on the left cheek or left arm
signifies adverse fortune, particularly
as regards love affairs; on the left
hand, an unfortunate marriage from a
worldly point of view.
Moles on the right cheek or arm, in
combination with one or more on the
left hand, point to more good fortune
in love affairs than In money matters.
A mole at the corner of the right eye
predicts rich and lndulgent husband.
A mole on the right side of the chin
shows good fortune, long life and a
happy marriage.
A mole on the chin. II 1t be light
yellow in color, denotes that woman
viii be good housewife; II brown In
color 1t portends a happy married life.
A mole on the tip OF the nose shows
to woman likelihood OF much admira-
ton and Jealous lovers, In her dealings

erclse great caution and discretion.
A mole at the rlght-hand corner of

More Drinking than Hunting.

A captain in the Russian Imperial
Guards rented from a vice president Of
the Austrian Jockey Club hunting es-
tate, for which, after taking possession,
he refused to pay on the ground that
there was very little game. The vendor
brought an action In the courts of Eyer,
Bohemia, for recovery and produced
evidence to show that the captain and
three friends had spent five weeks on
the estate, but passed all their time in
drinking. They had consumed 1850
bottles Of champagne. On these facts a
compromise was effected.

station, but sufficient time has not YET
elapsed to determine what the result
will be. Interesting experiments are
being made with the native fruit
bushes, and new varieties of raspber-
ries, currants and gooseberries Will
| doubtless be the outcome of the work
which Is now being successfully car
| ried forward. All the hardy vegetables
are grown at the Sitka station, particu-
lar attention being paid to the potato,
| cabbage and caullower. The people
of the vicinity cooperate with the gov
eminent experimenters, and aid the
work by supplying reports of the beha-
yior of the seeds supplied by the sta
tion for the use of residents.
At Copper Center station the work
is devoted chiefly to grain growing,
though experiments in the production
of grasses and vegetables are also con-
Quoted. Wheat, rye and oats, clover,
peas, beans, turnips and rutabagas
comprise the list commented upon in
the report of Special Agent G. C. Geor-
geson who has charge of the work In
Alaska.
At the station located at Rampant,
one degree south of the arctic circle,
the principal experiments conducted
during last season were directed to-
ward the production of early varieties
Of grains, those which mature before
the winter season sets In. The results
are being reached by selection. Seeds
are planted and those first maturing
are selected and planted the next year.
1t somtlmes occurs that an unusually
early winter destroys the grains In pro-
cess of selection and the work has to
be begun again. The hardy varieties of
Russia and England grain are used as
seed. Wheat from Karhoff, Russia and
Finnish black oats are crops which sell
dom fail, even so far north as Ram
part String beans and peas have been
successfully raised at Rampant station
and all of the hardy vegetables par
ships, carrots, potatoes and rutabagas
have also matured there; thus far the
potatoes have shown the best results.
As at Sltka seeds are distributed the
people coming many miles to obtain
them.
The station at Renal, where formerly
experiments in grain growing were CON
Quoted, is now given over to dairying
and the growing OF feed. A herd of
Galloway cattle was introduced last
spring, and from this station interest
ing reports may be expected concerning
the raising of cattle in Alaska, as the |
Galloways are said to be particularly |
adapted to the climate of the district. |

FARMING IN ALASKA.
Four Agricultural stations Carried
on by the Government.

Four Agricultural stations Carried
on by the Government.
The government maintains four agri-
cultural experiment stations In Alaska
at Sitka, Copper Center, Rampant and
Renal, and reservation for another has
been recommended; a point midway be-
tween Cinema and Fairbanks, and ad-
Joining the Tanana mine railway which
connects the two towns being selected
as suitable location, says the Boston
Alaskan.
The experiments at the sitka station
are now devoted chiefly to horticulture,
and the work carried on there may be
grouped into two classes: First, the
introduction, propagation and testing
of fruit trees and fruit bushes, with a
view to ascertaining which sorts can
be successfully cultivated In Alaska
and second, the testing Of varieties OF
vegetables best suited to the climate
and soil in various parts Of the district.
Among the fruit trees the apple has
been the subject Of closest study at the
