BOOMING BREAD PRICES

Last week the price of -four
advanced Sl.5o per barrel. In
its advance it followed the ad.
vance in the price of wheat. The
price of wheat advanced because
men in the pits of the grain ex
changes bet that 1t would ad
vance. The men in the pit have
made and lost, each about the
same, while the consumer pays
the penalty.
Conditions have made the crop
future doubtful. There has been
reason to believe that there
might be a shortage aud all the
possibilities have been employed
to boost the price of wheat.
The little green bug has been
worked successfully, without
doubt overworked. The little
green bug is a southwark pro-
duct that feeds on winter wheat
and in the bulletins of the board
of trade il has devoured the crop
of 1907 several times over.
Last week the little green
bug was transferred from the
winter wheat belt to the spring
wheat fields of South Dakota
and Minnesota, but its tarry
was brief, even in the market
reports. One day in the north
liked the little green bug and il
figured no more in the quota
tons.
II is said that the bug was
found in South Dakota and Min.
nesota by the bull spectators
and not by growers of spring
wheat.

Underground Waters of Colorado.

A valuable report on the under
ground waters of the Arkansas val
ley in southeastern Colorado has just
been issued by the United States
geological survey as Professional
Paper No. So. The area discussed
in this publication is limited by the
eastern and southern boundaries OF
the state, by line drawn east and
west thru Palmer, and by a line
drawn north and south thru Canyon
City In this region there is an area
Of considerable extent in which ar
tesian water is availapie and in the
last ten years numerous wells have
Teen sunk to develop this important
resource. The artesian flows, how
ever. are obtained only in the lower
lands and one of the principal objects
of the investigation has been the de-
termination of the are. in which the
water will rise to the surface without
pumping. AS the water bearing
SduuStplC anu lHe aoapNia'So ioihio
tons do not lie level or even slope
regularly to the east it has been
necessary to ascertain the distribu-
ton and structure of the various for
nations in order to indicate the depth
of the water bearing stratum. Pro-
fessional Paper No. 81, which may
be obtained on application to the
Division, Uniteed States geological
survey, Washington, d. c., contains
a discussion OF all the factors at
fecting the supply of artesian water,
cross sections that show the princi-
pal underground features, and maps
that indicate the distribution of for
nations on the surface, the depth to
the water bearing horizon, the area
in which flows may b. expected, and
tine head OF the underground waters.
The report also contains may well
records and etailed information re-
ga-ding localities in. which borings
Lave been made.

A New Organization.

On January first some OF the
brightest minds in our midst took ad-
vantage of the opportunity that open
L; existed and set to work to organ
ize the Holly Anti-cussword society,
which has Offices at the Santa Fe de-
pot in this city.
The following are the bylaws, con-
stitution and preamble of this noble
society:
Whereas, it is becoming the COM
mon practice OF great many people
II idly or earnestly curse various
reople, places or things, with the
mouth, and,
Whereas, if these curses were to
be carried out we would all be in dan
ger of having to eternally carry the
hod, and,
Whereas, there seems to be no uni
form method or standard method of
cnrsing by which W, may obtain the
best results therefrom, and,
Whereas, we find there are no
union-made curses to be obtained, re-
suIting in a great many weak and in
effective curses being passed upon
the public a, large and each of the
undersigned in particular, and,
Whereas, we earnestly object to
being made the target OF inexper-
fenced and inferior curses;
Now, therefore, it is hereby re-
solved, that we jointly and severally
enter our protest against this useless
and Ineffective practice and hereby
agree to discontinue, disregard and
abolish the same SO far as we are
Jointly and severally concerned and
that we will discourage the practice
in others.
Be it provided, further, that any
member of this society who is
caught with the goods, the same be-
ing intended either for home con-
sumption or wholesale, shall be fined
III the sum OF ten cents, which amount
shall be due and payable immediate
II. The amount of all fines to be
thrown into common fund to be
disposed OF for the common good by
majority vote of the members.

No Cheap Bribes.

Some of the editors who have en-
joyed the transportation privilege
from time immemorial have already
commenced to knock on the rail
roads, and the indications are that
befoe manry months roll around the
knocking will be fierce enough to
make the railroads sit up and take
notice. The railroads have evidently
been very sensitive to newspaper
criticism in the past. The editor of
the great family journal has been
called down several times for saying
things not exactly to the liking OF
the powers that be on the Santa Fe,
and threatened with having his pass
taken away from him. Corporations
are prone to indulge in the habit of
giving cheap bribe to newspaper
men in order to keep them quiet,
but now that the lid is off, or soon
will be, with the advent of the new
year. the newspapers can roast the
railroads to their hearts content
without fear because they receive no
favors from them. A railroad some
times needs good roasting, and we
are OF the opinion that before very
many months the officials will be
longing for the old conditions-La
Junta Tribune.

The Lockhart Livestock company
