Some Dog Troubles.

An Alaskan Spltz dog, the prop
erty Of Claud Evans, last week got
itself into police court and few
days later also its master to the
same bar.
Mrs. Evans was in the park last
Tuesday, the dog with her, when
the little daughter of G. G. Price,
the mail carrier, is said to have
pulled the dogs tail and the dog re-
taliated by biting the child on the
hand. That brought the dog into
court, or rather into the pound BACK
of the city hall, with every prospect
In the world OF going with Tom
Burns for walk to the river bank,
from which no living dog ever re-
turned.
Wednesday Evans engaged Attor-
ney Churchill and started suit to re-
plevin the dog, which he did 90,
Then it is claimed Evans started out
after Price and administered some
punishment supposed to be htt'nE
the case. That brought Evans into
court ON charge of assault. bu1
meantime the dog is ut home.

few fields that were damaged some
by hail have fully recovered and now
look as good as any that were not
touched by the hail.
The reports Of the field men for
the Great Western Sugar company
indicate that the tonnage this year
will be up to that of last year with
the acreage slightly less. That will
give virtually the same income to
the farmers Of the district from this
source, or, perhaps, ever better, as
there will probably be less loss in
the matter of handling the crop, as
both the farmers and the sugar com.
pany will be In better shape to
handle the enormous tonnage.
The Income from the potato crop
Is only matter of guess work SO far.
No definite reports of the condition
OF the crop in the country generally
have been received. The govern
ment report gives slight increase
over last year in the acreage planted,
54, 600 acres, or about one per cent.
There Is nothing In this, however,
upon which to estimate the crop.
Another month will allow a fair
guess by the government experts.

SI0CKMEN KICKING
Say Quarantine Order Costing
Them Heavily

Cattlemen of eastern Colorado are
up in arms against the government
bureau of animal industry and its
rules and regulations. Stockmen say
that recent quarantine order of the
bureau is costing them from 50 to
$40 per head in the decreasd value OF
their cattle, and that 1t is forcing
absolutely healthy cattle to be dip
ped on the charge that they have
been exposed, and that when the
cattle come to market they are put
in pens that have contained infected
cattle, thus exposing them This
forces the owners to dip them before
leaving the yards.
The trouble is over quarantine
order issued last April against NANCY
cattle, but which has only recently
been enforced. Under this order all
of Colorado east of the mountains is
under an absolute quarantine and
the government claims that all the
cattle in that district are either In
fected with mango or exposed to the
Infection and they cannot move out
Of the state unless dipped. They
permit the cattle to come to Denver
or go to eastern stock yards in cars
tagged to show they are quarantine
cattle, and at the market thev are
put in isolated quarantine pens
They are not permitted to leave the
Yards until they are dipped. The
effect of this is to very greatly de-
preciate the value of the animals
for If they are in quarantine buyers
viii not pay as much for them, ana
if they are brought in just after be-
ing dipped they look so bad that
buyers again discriminate.

C. & S. Strike.

The strike among the trainmen of
the Colorado & Southern, which has
been in progress in the Denver rail-
road yards for about ten days,
reached Greeley last Saturday noon
when the men in the yards and ON
the freight trains went out in re-
sponse to the call from the head men
of the union. A freight train that
stood ready to pull out was left on
the siding and since then no freight
has moved out from here on the
G. & S.
The last freight to come in here
was that carrying the praraphernalia
of the Parker Amusement company,
which arrived here about 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning, brought in by the
trainmaster OF the road and con-
ductor.

No, that isn't very good poetry
because there is no end to it. But
it was supposed to mean that no
sooner has the Tribune folks gotten
one excursion of their hands until
another one is on, and, of course,
everybody will want to so again
Especially will this be the case when
1t is announced that the next excur-
sion will be the annual outing of the
Tribune's country correspondents at
Eldorado Springs.
Everybody remembers that time
last year, when they came very near

that the force that grinds out the
Tribune fifty.two times year Will
take day off and break loose to the
surprise and pleasure Of all who think
that they are gang of dispeptics

Forest Planting on Plains.

The forest service has just issued
circular devoted to the interests Of
forest planters in the western por-
tions of Kansas, Nebraska and Okla
homa, northwestern Texas, eastern
Colorado and New Mexico.
The entire region is practically
treeless. Here and there, of course,
trees have been planted, but forest
planting has in no way kept pace
with agricultural development.
There is real need for forest growth.
BY careful selection of the species,
the choice of suitable sites. and
proper management of plantations.
enough forest can be grown to exer-
else marked effect upon farm de-
velopment and to supply wood for
most domestic purposes. The object
of the circular is to show just what
it is practicable to undertake in the
way Of such plantations. Planting
may be done for any one of three
chief purposes-protection, wood
supply and shade.
The circular contains suggestions
as to the choice Of ofspecies, with notes
on their requirements and directions
for planting and care.

A Souvenir Pin,

Frank G. Steadman, the Windsor
jeweler who recently engraved forty
letters on the head of common
brass pin, has this week far outdone
that effort. A few days ago the

Steadman with eighty-four letters
engraved on its head. Besides all
the letters Of the alphabet it con-
tained the words "The Greeley

MAY BREAK ALL RECORDS
Steamer Lusitania Making Fast Time
Across the Atlantic.

New York, Sept. 11.-That the
epoch-malling Lusitania is blowing
the mid-Atlantic at a clip of 252s
knots an hour, occasionally perhaps
squirting to 26-knot speed, is the cal
culation based on press cable reports
from London. Wireless communica-
ton with the great turbine steamer is
hourly expected by the local agents of
the Cunard line.
Press cablegrams from London state
that the challenger for the transatlan-
tic record had reported a run of 561
miles during her first twenty-four
hours out from Queenstown. When
1t is recalled that during the first
nine hours from Daunt Rock the Lusi-
tania because of fog was enabled to
make but $50 miles, 1t is apparent
that the other 3S1 miles reported was
covered at a rate Of more than Is
knots an hour. The Lusitania is
looked for at Sandy Hook next Thurs
day night. II she makes the schedule
she will have wiped out all records.

LAND INSPECTORS TO
GO OVER MONTANA.

Helena, Sept. with the con-
clusion of the Investigations of land
entries in adjoining states by the
federal government there will be a
large number of field agents available
for use in Montana, and to this state
they are to be sent. Already the field
staff which has not been very large,
has been increased, and within the
next month it is said evry part of the
state will be covered.
While big frauds have been uncov-
cred in nearly every other western
state, this has not been the case up to
the present in Montana. More inspec-
tors were at work in other states, but
as these Investigations are nearing an
end, instead Of the force being cur
tailed, the men have ben sent to Mon
tana to assist tits division.
Montana is the third largest state
III the Union, and to make a thor
ocgh investigation will require
large force. Some parts Of the state
have been scarcely touched, but from
new on large corps Of inspectors
will be swarming over the state.

HIS EFFORTS ARE ENDED.
Commissioner NeiII Will Not Try to
Settle TeIegraphers' Strike.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 11-Labor
Commissioner Neill is no longer con-
corning himself with the telegraph
ers' strike and his original efforts to
bring about peace between the tele-
graph companies and their former en-
ployes represented all the part taken
by the administration in the contro-
versy. Reports to the contrary were
denied by the commissioner upon his
leaving Sycamore Hill, where he had
luncheon with the president. Tuesday.
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor also took lunch
con with the president Secretary
Straus made a verbal report on his
recent Western trip to President
Roosevelt and Commissioner Neill
took up with the president certain
difficulties which have arisen in the
attempted enforcement of the eight
hour law. The telegraph strike was
not considered.
Commissioner Neill said that since
his preliminary efforts to settle the
telegraphers' strike he had taken no
part in the controversy and that these
efforts, which had failed, represented
all that had been done by the admin
tstration in the matter The strike
he said, was not considered Tuesday
and he contemplated no further ac-
tivity in the matter. President Roose-
welt, he added, had never asked for a
report on the question from him and
unless such a request should be made
he should not give in detail the fail
ure of his initial and only effort to
bring about cessation Of the strike.
