MESA COUNTY THE BEE HIVE.

Mesa county is the bee hive of the
Pacific slope and the development
which has taken place there is some
thing stupendous and we say this
without any frIlls of fiattery or pre-
sumptuous platitude. This county
has $4,000 acres under cultivation
with full one-half the enumeration in
orchard plantations. AS one little
Item of the years work the spring
planting reached the grand aggre-
gate of / 100000 trees and these were
mostly of the peach. The shipment
of peaches exceeded a thousand car
loads and the winter apple crop will
total 1900 carloads for the seson.
The county stood to have 1000 car
loads but an unfavorable spring
blighted the blooming and caused a
heavy June drop in certain varieties
like the Ben Davis, Gano. Winesap
and Black Twig. The growers were
badly handicapped throughout the
picking season by the distressing
lack of packing cases and the short
age of labor was also felt throughout
the district so that a good deal of
fruit was lost because of these draw
backs. The best crop ever grown on
the slope was produced in Mesa
county this year for which fancy pric-
es were received on the eastern mar
ket. The county shipped out sixty
carloads of cantaloupes and the small
fruit yield was slightly increased by
crops were quite satisfactory and will
serve as a marker for larger acreage
in the future. The livestock trade is
in a fourishing condition because of
the better prices obtained this fall

of by the auditor.
(2)-Widest possible publicity to
the financial conditions of all cont

tenhouse of the state insurance de-
partment with the assistance of At.
torney Horace Phelps, and will be in
troduced by Representative Collins
in the house and Senator De la Verg-
ne in the senate this week. The pro-
posed code. which is known as the
"Rittenhouse BILL" is the result Of
several months of labor. not only on
the part of the Colorado department,
but much of the bill has been rec
commended by the committee of ex-
perts appointed by the state insur-
ance commissioners convention n
year ago. There will be many bills
introduced relating to different insur-
ance subjects. but If they are passed
they will doubtless become part of
the "Rittenhouse Bill" as that viii
be used as the basis of the insurance
Legislation promised by the Republl-
can platform.
The present insurance laws are all
repealed by this bill, but many of
them are re enacted with necessary
changes.

IN EXECUTION HOUSE
John McGarvey Removed Last Night
From Cell House to Death
House-Does not Know
Hour of His Death.

Yesterday afternoon at late hour
John McGarvey, the condemned MUIR
derer of Edward Innes, who was club
bed to death in this city, was remove
ed from the cell house in the state
penitentiary at Canon City, where he
has been kept under guard for many
weeks to the execution house where
he will be kept under the ever watch
full eye of detail of guards. In the
execution house is the gallows al
penalty of his crime before the end of
the present week.
1t is said that practically every de-
tail of the execution has been arrang-
ed and the warden alone. is to say
what day and what hour McGarvey is
to die. 1t is not believed that the
execution will take place before Fri
day night. McGarvey may be given
only few hours notice.
Reports from Canon City state that
the wretch still retains his outward
show of coolness and bids fair to meet
death calmly. He seems to have Civ
en- up all hope.
1t was announced last night in
Denver that Governor Mcdonald will
not again sign the death warrant con-
sequently one of the first official acts
of Governor Buchtel, inaugurated to-
day at noon, will be either to sign the
death warrant that will bring McGar-
yey to his doom or to grant the muir
ben in the hands of the warden be-
fore the execution can take place.
IL is not generally believed in Denver
that Governor Buchtel will grant a
Ieprieve but that he will fix his name
to the death warrant.
Sunday morning McGarvey was per-
mitted to attend chapel held in
the prison for the first time since
heirg taken there. He claims TO be
devout Catholic and Father Lock-
schmidt, his spiritual adviser, makes
daily visits to the prisoner. In the
presence of about 500 convicts Sun
day afternoon Holy communion was
administered to the doomed youth.
Sunday McGarvey received a let
ter from a counsin in the east in
which he stated that the woman who
died last month was not McGarvey's
mother, but was the third wife of
McGarvey's father. She died from
natural causes and not from brok-
en- heart as first reported. The mur
derer's mother died when he was n
mere child and he was brought up by
a step-mother. Father Lockschmidt
says that he believes the lack of good
home training is responsible for the
boys present condition. The boy
seems thoroughly repentant and de-
clares that he is ready to meet his
God.
The exact hour that McGaryey is
to meet death will not be known pub
licly until after the execution is over.
There will be less than twenty wit
nesses and as stated previously by the
Sentinel. Each of these witnesses is
bound by law to keep a profound
secret of the details and the scenes
witnessed in the death room. They
can only give the bare testimony that
the murderer has been executed.

There are at the present twenty
six varieties of alfalfa grown in Colo

tains a dozen or more varieties.
some rich in protein, carbohydrates
of different food elements, and others
consisting principally of fiber. The
seed eXpents at the college grew last
year twenty-six varieties of alfal-
ia on plots of an acre in size. One
of these varieties proved to be far
superior to any of the others, being
rather richer in protein and the yield
is heavier as well. Chemical analy-
ses show this plant to contain five
per cent more protein than any of the
other plants grown. Protein in bran
and in bran at $40 per ton, protein
is paid for at the rate of cents per
pound. This means that If the yield
of alfalfa is four tons to the acre, the
increased value of this yield as a food
for live stock is s4.96. per acre.

Crowds See the Big
Parade---Great Col
lection Of Fine
Horses

The Sells-Floto parade was pulled
off just before noon and the several
teousand people who came down to
chickasha avenue had an excellent OPP
portunity to see it in all its glory.
Most show parades are all alike and
the sells-Floto was not disappoint-
ment. There were the elephants and
the camels, 80 tigers, the bands, the
clowns, tn pretty women dressed in
outlandish costumes, the mysterious
looking wagons which are gaily paint
ed on the outside and lead the small
boy to wonder what is on the inside;
and there was the inevitable ealliope.
That ended the long parade. This afr
ternoon at two o'clock the usual big
crowd Went to the show ground, where
it was entertained after looking at the
animals. The usual number Of papas
were there to IKE the children to see
the animals; the usual number of red
lemonade stands was there and the
man who sells peanuts from great
big scoop. It was the real circus
alright and it had the real attractions
and it pleased and that was what it
came Tor. There win be another per-
formance tonight The doors open at

have not exaggerated the quality Of
horseflesh with the circus. Chieka-

Hampton when he said he never saw
any finer display at one time. I'M
doubtedly the best draught horses to
be seen here are those in town with
the circus today The pride the cir
Gus people take in their horses is evil
denecd by the manner in which they
are cared for under the direction Of

HAS CHANGED
HER MIND
Mrs. Harrison Says the Murdered Man
Is Her Brother

That the murdered man in Clay
comb & Anderson's undertaking rooms
is Ollie Little Of Isabel, Kan is now
almost certain, from a telephone talk
Mr.. Anderson had with Mrs. w. s.
Harrison of St.,ewalI, l. 7. last night.
Mrs. Harrison, who was here Sat
urday morning, thinking it was her
brother failed to idgntify him be-
cause she thought his hair was too
light and his clothing too small. Since
then she has been in communication
with the mother and father Of Ollie
Little and the size Of his clothing at
home, including mis- shoes and hat
correspond with that worn by the
dead man. Since she had not seen her
brother for six or seven years, she
confessed she might not have remem-
bered the color Of his hair, and is now
inclined to believe that this is he.
Mrs. Harrison viii send her borth-
er's photograph to Mr. Anderson today
and it will be compared with the
stamp picture found in his pocket for
further proof.
