Will Improve Roadbed.

Supt. Meldrum of the Southern, and
Division Engineer Deem of SalIda, were
in Rico short time last week. They
were on their return from tour of in
spection of the Rio Grande Southern
between Durango and Telluride.
We are informed that the company
has in contemplation extensive I'm
provements of the roadbed between
this place and Durango. The plan is
to relay the track with 50-pound rails
put in new ties, repair the grades and
rock ballast throughout the entire
division.
In addition to this work, we under
stand that new and improved equip
ment will be added in the way of cars
and especially in the line Of motive
power.-Rico News.

GENERAL NEWS.

Philadelphia, Jan. pa fire which
started with an explosion in paint
shop, destroyed an entire section of the
big Baldwin Locomotive Works to-
night, entailing loss of $1,000, 900.
About 1000 men were employed in the
burned building, which was five
stories high. Fire was discovered in
the east end of the building few
minutes before 8 o'clock when the
workHen were preparing to leave.
Though the flames spread quickly, all
were able to get our safely. Shortly
after the fire started the upper portion
OF the wall fell, and one fireman and
three workmen were caught by falling
bricks, but fortunately received only
slight injuries.

Yesterday ]. l.. Carpenter completed
the work of putting a fire-proof gasoline
lighting plant in J. j. Harris & Co.'S
store building. Sixteen 5O0-candle-
power lights were installed which
makes this the best lighted store room
in Southern Colorado and second to
none in the state. The carpenters also
completed the wood work yesterday,
and as the painter has kept close after
the carpenters the room will soon be
in order and this company will be able
to display their goods and serve their

The Colorado Grain and Seed Growers
Association.

The Association is organized to en-
courage the general use of improved
seed with view to largely increasing
the yield aud improving the quality of
the grain crops of Colorado.
The varying attitudes in Colorado
from 1000 to 5000 feet and above,
where crops are being grown, require
the development OF strains of seed ac-
climated and adapted to the particular
environment where grown. A well
organized and concerted work can
be done through an association of this
kind, which will have permanent
and positive value to the state.
The factors which induce yield and
quality of crops are: Seed, soil, eli
matte conditions, time of harvest, care
of crop, fungous diseases and insect
pests. With the exception of climatic
conditions. all these factors are under
the control of the farmer. By exer-
cising the necessary care in seed selec-
tion, in cultivation of soil, improving
its physical condition and its store of
available plant food, it Is possible to
materially increase the yield and inn
prove the quality of our grains.
Improved varieties of grain are most
likely to make larger demands on soil
for plant food, SO large yields and good
quality grain can not be reasonably ex-
pected from poor soil even with good
seed. Thus we see 'seed and soil
stand in the same relation in crop pro-
duction as breeding and feeding in live
stock productions" both are required
for satisfactory and permanent good
results.
Experience and experiments have
shown that the yield per acre Of all
kinds of farm crops can be increased
and the quality greatly improved by a
systematic, intelligent seed selection
and the careful growing Of these crops

WE would call the attention of
all Woodmen OF the World TO the
long articles now being pub
lished comprising letters of advice
from the eminent blatherskite. +.
Z. Rittenhouse, state insurance
commissioner. For many years
the old line insurance companies
have striven tc put Woodman in
surance under the care of the
state department. Their object
was to then manipulate the de-
partment and destroy the organi-
zation as an insurance body. I'm
less the last Legislature gave
them the required legislation,
they are still without power to do
a thing to fraternal insurance.
But in reading Mr.. Rit,enhouse' S
article we feel as if it might be
well for members of the order to
look up what they did in the last
session. He acts as if he could
exercise some power and it SO
the end of fraternal insurance in
this state is in sight. We note
that Head Consul Boak also
gives a trifle of attention TO the
State department, and this indi-
Gates that they now have some
added powers 1t will truly be
unfortunate if this order built on
such grand lines and carrying on
work of such magnitude. IS
destroyed by the insurance octo-
pus. They never had so mobile
a fool in the office of insurance
commissioner as Rittenhouse, and
it is safe to assume that they will
rapidly put into effect any plans
they may have against fraterni
ties.

BRO. OLIVER in his Booster
last week seems to consider that
the railroads are very unfair in
attacking the commission law.
The railroads like the people are
pretty heavy tax payers and they
dislike to see a huge bill of ex-
pense heaped up to be paid from
the public treasury when every
act of the commission is clearly
null aud void. There is not a
lawyer of sufficient ability to get
case in a chicken court that
does not know that Buchtel's S
abortion is absolutely worthless
and that it was intended to be SO.
1t is like all his other acts, an eX
emplifcation of rank hypocracy,
and intended to fool the people
into thinking that he wanted to
do right. 1t is well that the rail
roads attack the law. 1t is to be
hoped that it will speedily fall
then we may hope for something
better from a legislature made up
of men who possess some self re-
spect. 1t will be advantageous
also to have a governor who is
not so long on sanctihcation and
who desires to do right because
it is right.
