Keep your fowls tame and sOciable.
Don't scare them or throw things at
them. They will then be glad to see
you when you have occasion to visit
their quarters. You may thus
handle them readily. If you wish to
take them up TO examine, show 10
callers, weigh, set, or otherwise you
will have no occasion to chase them
all over tho lot, and be covered with
dust and dirt in your efforts to cap
ture them, as is too frequently the
case in a majority OF chicken yards.
Then when you want to put them il
coops for the poultro show, they will
be tame aud not break their feathers
in trying to get out OF the coop.

DELAY is GREAT INJUSTICE
TO COLORADO MINERS

Oficial announcement has been
made that the government report
xnown as The Mineral Resources of

made public until early in 1907. This
.eport is of the utmost Importance to
itizens of Colorado and other mining
tates. Upon its showings tens OF
thousands of dollars are annually in
tested or withheld from mining pro-
positions. The investment of these
vast sums is of the greatest import
nee in the development of mining
propositions, and the delay of few
months often means immense pecuni-
airy loss. This governmental report

CONVICT LABOR NOTHING
TO DO WITH NEW CHURCH

Some people who have noticed the
cons" where the excavation for the
new Christian church has been going
on. have supposed that convict labor
is being employed in that work.
The fact is that the penitentiary
authorities are badly in need of some
dirt to fill in on the park opposite the
prison. and in order to secure some,
proposed to Contractor Dryden, who
has charge of the church building, to
haul away some of the dirt free OF
charge.
The oonyicts have done none of the
plowing or picking and have merely
hauled away the dirt, for which they
have received no remuneration what
ever.
The church building committee have
had nothing whatever to do in the
matter. and no convict labor has been
or will be employed in the construc-
ton of the church.

A report of the mineral conditions
and production of 1905 given to the
people of the country in 1907. Think
of it In no private business enter
prise would such delay be counten-
anced. 1t is, to say the least, a great
injustice that the people should be
taxed to pay for such work when it
is made almost useless by the delay

before have SO many Americans been
interested in mining activities and
never before have the mining COM
munities of Colorado and other staes
shown the substantial development of
the past year 1t is most unfortunate
