ESCAPED CONVICT TAKES
MEAL WITH A RANCHER

Pueblo, July 2.-Word was received
in Pueblo to the effect that Edward
Morales. Canon City convict SITS, who
escaped from the penitentiary the
night of June 20. had appeared at the
ranch OF George Blake. thirty miles
west of this city on the Hardscrabble,
several days ago. and requested meal
for which he offered to pay in work.
The manager of the ranch, not
knowing that a man had escaped at
the time. fed the convict and allowed
him to sleep in the barn over night
He disappeared in the morning and
has not been reported since
Although the manner in which he
was dressed and the story he told
did not look right to the rancher it
was not thought for a minute that
he might be one of the desperadoes
who escaped while Governor Buchtel
was delivering an address in the pris-
on proper. Penitentiary officers are
still hot on the trail and a reward of
500 has been offered for his appre-
hension.

SUNDAYS MAIL DELAYED
BY WRECK AT PORTLAND

Denver & Rio Grande train No. 5,
which is due here from the east at
2:40 p. m. was more than six hours
late last Sunday and as result the
mail was not distributed until the fol-
lowing morning. The trouble was
caused by the engineer derailing the
locomotive to prevent running into a
Santa Fe train which was crossing
the track at the time. Realizing that
wreck would take place unless
something was done to avoid it, the
engineer ran the locomotive of the
track No damage was done, although
a tiresome delay was caused by it

HOW TO lRRlcATE An
ORCHARD PROPERLY Y

Now that the irrigation season Is
on, it may be we'll to call attention
to the fact that trees and plants are
as easily injured by too much water
as by the lack of it. And observations
made by careful orchardists, the
county horticultural inspectors, as
we'll as by the workers at the Agri-
cultural Collegs, go to show that more
permanent damage is done to orchards
In this state by over watering than
by any other cause. The writer was
present at a fruit growers meeting
several years ago when this subject
was discussed, and all were unani-
mously of the opinion that they could
not get along with less water than
they were then using. But at that
very time, land in that vicinity was
becoming seeped. and the area in
volved has steadily become worse.
Subsequent investigations have shown
that the main source Of the surplus
water has been from the excess used
by the owners OF the land. This goes
to SHOW that 1t is easy to be deceived
in regard to the condition of the soil.
External appearances will not suffice.
SO the careful irrigator will be con-
tinually testing the condition OF his
land by digging down into the subsoil
in various portions OF his orchard. 1t
Is true that one man cannot tell an
other how to irrigate his land, but the
cumulative effect OF bad management
is soon apparent.
There are many reasons why 1t Is
easy to over irrigate. One of the
most common seems to be that the
average person likes to think he is
getting the worth OF his money by
using as much water as possible. II
sometimes happens that there Is dan
ger OF a ditch going dry early in the
season. When such a situation arises,
most persons will use as much water
on their orchards as they can get, no
matter whether 1t is needed or not
Then there is also the tendency to
let irrigation take the place of cuiti-
walton. particularly In heavy soils. II
Is easier and cheaper simply to let
water run than 1t Is to cultivate. Un-
less the ground is stirred at the pro-
per time after 1t has been watered.
many soils become hard, and 1t is
dihicult to work them at all.
When properly handled. any soil
which Is suitable for orchard pur-
poses Is always mellow and easy to
work. But when a soil becomes pud-
died by over-irrigation and lack Of
cultivation. It Is dificult to bring 1t
back to its normal condition.
This subject Is one to which too
much thought cannot be given. and
the better orchardists now strive to
use as little water a. possible.

the balance of 100000 due Charles
S. Chandler, Dr. E. L. R. Wallace, D.
S. Dickerson and l. c. Moon on the

liable holdings constitute the southern
part of the Ely Central ground and
contain about sixty acres. Recently an
important strike was made on the
Eureka claim and extends the limits of
the ore body more than 1000 feet in
a southerly direction. The Ely Central
has paid in full on all their holdings and
all deeds have passed to that corpora
tion. The group is considered second
to none in the district. At present
there are two churn drills at work on
the property and large amount of
territory has been explored with entire

ONE DIES RICH
THE OTHER POOR
Pioneers of Seattle Die on Same
Night Under Different
Circumstances

Seattle, Feb. rs. While Timothy D.
Hinckley, for fifty-four years resi-
dent of this city, was dying in his pa
latial residence at Dexter avenue and
Lee street, leaving an estate worth $3.50, :
900, William Alexander, who looked on
Seattle fiftY-six years ago and passed
it by as an undesirable place to estab-
fish home, died of old age, penniless,
at the almshouse.
Alexander was aboard the vessel Ex-
act, which left Portland in December,
1851, bound for Puget Sound, where its
immigrant passengers intended to set
tie. He saw Arthur Denny, at the
head of number of passengers, put
off in a small boat and land on the site
of Seattle All of them have become
immensely wealthy.
Alexander kept on and settled on a
320-acre farm on WILDLY island. There
have been few settlers there since. He
lost all through illness.

MANY DEER IN
RHODE ISLAND
Animals So Numerous They
Prove a Menace TO
Growing Crops

Deer have become so numerous in
Rhode Island under protective laws as
to be menace to crops, and the State
Board of Agriculture in its annual re-
port recommends an amendment of the
laws so that person may kill them
when they are found in the act of de-
stroying property. The report says:
1.-The law protecting deer has been
in force for such length of time that
the deer have become very numerous,
SO numerous in fact as to be dangerous
to the farmers crops and nursery stock.
A great deal of damage is done yearly
by deer. One well-known farmer in
Washington County estimates damage
to crops and trees in his locality at
over a thousand dollars. The farmers
does not feel like killing deer when
found in the act of destroying his prop
erty. If anything is to be done, either
by way of extension of time in which
no deer shall be killed, or in amendment
of the law, it should be done at the
1907 session of the General Assembly,
as the law expires January, 1908. y

TWO MILLION DOLLARS
PAID TO LOCAL CLAIM OWNERS DURING YEAR
FOR ELY MINING CLAIMS
Vast Sums Discussed by Companies in Payment
for Properties Acquired During the Past Twelve
MOnthS--Later Companies in the Field Com
PEELED to Spend More for Ground Than the
Companies That Made the District

More than $1,000, 900 has been paid
to claim owners in the Ely district by
the mining companies in this field dur
ing the past year. This total is taken
from figures furnished by men who are
in position to know what has been
actually discussed.
During the year, the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper Company paid out a
considerable sum for ground recently
acquired, but most of it's ground was
obtained and paid for long before the
beginning of the year, it being the
company that ''made" the district.
When the Nevada Con. entered the
field, much of the ground that is now
commanding tremendously high prices
was open for location. The company,
after consolidating the holdings of the
New York and Boston, and the White
Pine companies, was able to locate
much open copper ground surround
ing its properties, which subsequent
development has shown to be equally
valuable as the claims actually paid
for. The total disbursements of the
Nevada Con. were approximately $780,
900, but the ground it possesses would
have cost many times that sum

This force would be doubled, Supt.
Gates said, if the men could be found.
The tunnel is now cleared and re-
timbered for 1000 feet, which leaves
1000 feet to go to get to the breast of
the tunnel, where prosecuting will be-
gin.
The tunnel is big one, by Z, with
a double track.
A new shaft is to be started as soon

Where two hearts dwell together,
And life knows no sorrow or care.
There loves sun first smiled on me

There just as bride l was brought ;
And no mansion, no matter how lovely,
Could seem half so grand as my cot.
Time hurries by, till the sunshine
Has deepened to twilight, you see,
And hear footsteps marring the still

And listen, and know it is he.
My home seems to me like castle;
For one I'd exchange it not;
Love in so true manner
Could never be sold or bought.
And life's sweetest memories will lin

Round my heart when time changes

When the young life now bright as the

Shall be darkened and nearing life's

And life seems Paradise only
