THE PRACTICAL NEW WOMAN
She 10 at Home Anywhere and Ca,

Nunn, Colo.-Coming to MN, tyo
years ago for the benefit OF her health
MISS Jennie Pettyjohn. an obscure
though pretty Denver mlllincr by reo.
son OF her business ability, nush and
energy. has become the foremost and
most influential business woman
northern Colorado.
This town of 500 Inhabitants which
was until year and half ago. n wide
barren stretch OF prairie. with here
and there ranchers home to break
the monotony. owes much to this ener.
setic woman of twenty.elght or thirty
years.
Largely through her efforts MANY
settlers are reClaiming the desert lands
IN that vicinity which promise to he
come one OF the most productive i'm
Colorado. 90
When Miss P.ttyjohn first deter.
mihed 10 I've out or doors as much as
possible In order To benefit her health.
she selected the country near Num-.
seVehty-two miles from Denver. on the
ohloh racine railway. as being eNcep.
tonhlly desirable because OF its few
human habltationS aud because IL pre-.
sented an opportunity for development.
TaklnS up lGO acrc5 OF land, more
than half of which are now under cuI.
uNation. she made her start with the
heager savings of several years In the
millinery business. Seeing the posi-,
bilities OF the country she secured op-
tons on thousands OF acres OF land,
and has since held those options while
the price of land has been soaring to
double and treble the price asked
when she first went there
The beginning of the new irrigation
ditch has meant much to her. as IL in.
sures her sale OF the property at an
excellent profit before the time limit
on tho options expire. since the ditch
will be completed by May /, 1908.
Wishing to put her land under cuItiva.
tion as soon as possible she has hired
workmcn and built many miles OF
fence to protect her own land and
some OF that on option from stray cat.
tie. and also to get 1t in line for i'm.
provcment as soon as possible
Lots in the townsite OF Mum have
proved one OF the best specuIations
price and has since sold them for four
times what they cost her.
Every time she heard OF a person
In Denver or elsewhere who wanted
land she has interested them In Weld
county land. particularly about Nunn.
and has almost invariably succeeded
In getting them to settle in or near
that township. II is estimated that in
This way she has secured settlers for
10000 acres.
All this goes to show that the pres
ent.day new woman" Is equally at
home anywhere. In Denver there are
lady BARRIERS. lawyers. doctors. brokers
and women engaged in other lines OF
business. The experience and success
of Miss Pettyjohn proves that women
as real estate agents. providing they
have ths right qualifications. can pros
per as well. II not better. than men en-
gagged in the same line.

Tor the next three months.
Local commission merchants who
handle the cattle are telling the same
old story Of the railroads lack OF suf.
tcient facilities to handle the live
stock. and now that the roundup sea.
son Is open and hundreds Of herds of
cattle are being brought into Denver
daily. the railroad companies arc re-
fusing TO handle the enormous output
and hundreds Of carloads have bee:i

They Don't Keep Pace.
With the rapid development OF the
West the railroads have failed TO keep
pace with the growth and conditions
this year among the shippers OF live
stock are worse than they have heen
for several seasouS past The trouble
is principally experienced in getting
the cattle shipped from Denver to
points East.
The railroad companies say that this
condition is not due to lack OF proper
equipment. but is the result OF the
many onc-track roads which enter Den.
yer. This on"traCk system. they
claim. has greatly retarded them and.
with the Increase OF traffic. they are
unable to meet the demand for sars or
trains.
The rounding up Of the cattle on the
ranges and the shipping OF them TO
Denver will continue until December.
The output this year will not he as
heavy as last year. The past season
on the ranges has been good one and
grass has iiourishcd splcndidly. Most
of the live stock received has been
purchased by the packing companies
and slaughtered The cattle are in
good shape and the feeders will prob
ably do small business This year.
Prices Continue Firm.
The price on all grades OF cattle CON
tinues TO hold firm and prospects are
for a good, STEADY market. The receiv-
ing OF the cattle hardly ever effects the
which generally results In an increase.
Meat will be cheap and plentiful
in Denver this winter owing to the
commission men being unable TO Sc
cure proper accommodation from the
railroad companies for the removal
East. The Union Pacific railroad was
compelled TO refuse $50 cars OF 1--we
stock for the East the other day. being
unable to arrange for transportation.
With the other railroads the story Is
the same.
The collecting or rounding up of the
cattle on the many ranges and the
shipping to Denver. and from here lhe
transportation East. constitutes me oil
the GREATEST industries in this country.
and the money and labor 1t involves is
50 great that /: can hardly I've rcck'

THE UMPIRE" TONIGHT.
Fine Musical Comedy viii BE Seen
at the Frazer.

"The Umpire" which comes to the
Frazer tonight, is of the new school
of musical comedy, which is to say
that instead of the usual bibulcus
old king of a mythical island played
by the usual dialect comedian, its
principal person is highly human
baseball umpire and its story is
modern recital of the humorous ad-
ventures that might befall him.
The authors have succeeded In
blending Il dramatic plot with a rich
mixture of fun and music and girls
so that one may lie interested in the
outcome of the tale while being di-
verted with pretty tunes, pretty wo-
men and comedy.
The play, 1t viii be recalled, broke
all the Chicago amusement records,
having been presented there nearly
a year, or 10 be exact, 35G times.

The influences which defeated the
irrigation code at the recent session
of the legislature are shown by the
following item from the Salem
Statesman, concerning the attempted
organization of an irrigation COM
pany H. Harvey county. The States
man says:
At the regular meeting of the state
land board yesterday afternoon, w.
E. Burke appeared before the MEM
bers with an irrigation contract
which he wanted signed by the
hoard, which seeks to put in pump
ing stations and reclaim about 5000
acres of arid land in the Harney val
ley for the use of settlers.
The springing of this contract on
the board is the sequel to Mr.. Rurke's
strenuous fight against the irriga-
ton bills introduced Mt the last ses-
sion of the legislature, which were
| defeated, partly through the mflu-
ence Of Rurke and his lobbyists, for
the reason that he had water rights,
as has been before stated. which he
| did not want adjudicated.
| Governor Chamberlain objected to
| tire contract on the ground that the
lien CT $25 per acre is too high and
| the date Of reclamation is fixed In
/ the contract to January /, 1912. Also
that Burke and his company reserve
the right to make contracts and coll
lect money, but should agree to re-
/ ttsN,,
only when the work Is done.
The governor and State Treasurer
Steel expressed their willingness to
sign the contract with Burke for the
land hoard, in case the time fixed
for the accomplishment of Mt least
part of the work was changed to
Jenuary l, 1909, at which time the
governor told him that the next leg
islaturc met. and could cancel the
contract, providing he did not do as
agreed.
State Engineer Lewis was called In
and said the signing Of the contract
would tie up the land from settle
ment, and that, without railroad
transportation, the settler could not
pay s25 per acre for land where Il
would cost him 80 % rer acre foi
