FULFILLING EXPECTATION.

Aside from doing all the harm
he can to the State University,
Gov. Buchtel is SO flagrantly and
openly assisting the railroads to
defeat any legislation calculated
to make them be decent, that his
party associates in the house and
senate are openly denouncing
him. He has attempted to job
the local option bill alleging
that its provisions are oppressive
to the saloon men, and the tenn
perance people are up in arms
against him. Senator Alexander
denounces him as the most dan
gerous public official the state
has ever had. "Apres nous lie
deluge." Colorado had strayed
far from safe moorings when 1t
elected Peabody. l forged en-
dorsements to its infamy when it
permitted a band of robbers to
steal governorship. Bob SPeer
and the Market street harlots eIc-
waited a preacher to the highest
executive Office in the state, but
history repeats itself, and "thc
stream rises no higher than its
source" Buchtel is the direct
product OF a combination of in
tamies and he simply follows the
path marked out. There is COM
ing a time when Colorado will
shake off the corporation incubus
and forge forward on lines OF
decency. Buchtel fills place
in the plan. He renders clear
the view by which the people
can estimate their fall. The
author of the famous "Siva"
letters, speaking of Grover Cleve-
land once said: For time the
land must lie in fallow. You,
meaning Cleveland, represent the
stimulating agencies the good
gardener would apply" All of
which applies to Gov. Buchtel
most thoroughly.

The Manccs Times heads its
editorial column with the follow
ing literary effusion: "Listless
and lifeless we lie in fertile
valley" Ie then follows with an
other like this: What does more
for the development of the
resources of the county than the
county press7 Nothing. What
gets it in the neck any oftener
than the county press? Nothing.
The only wonder is that the pro-
prietors don't give up IN despair"
And we might add if we issued as
bum a sheet as you do we would
expect to be given large coat of
pine tar and chicken covering and
told to hunt a job on the section.
We acknowledge the fact that
most newspapers get it in the
neck, and to a certain extent are
not given credit for the good they
do a community or an advertiser,
but, often times there are cases
where the newspaper does not
deserve any thing. Our advice to
our despondent brother at Mancos
would be to go wash up his type,
dump a number of the dead"
ads that have been running in the
sheet for months, get down to
business and write whole lot of
good live stuff every week, about
the country, always leaving out
the "listless and lifeless" part,
and, maybe the fruitful" valley
will be raised from the dead. You
know, all things are possible, and
there are many things that are all
right to say-but not to every
body.-Palisades Tribune.

The fish bills introduced in the
legislature by Representative
Lehrritter. of Gunnison county
should be passed and enforced
after they become a law. The
game and fish law should be lived
up to. to the letter but private in
dividuals should not be allowed to
gobble up the entire waters of the
trout streams. Several of the
Gunnison farmers are reaping
rich rewards from the fishermen
during the summer by charging
high rates for board or the privi-
lege of camping upon their ground
so that they may fish in what are
supposed to be public waters. We
hope the Senate and House will
think favorably on what Mr.. Leh-
ritter has placed before them

ABOUT the only thing as yet
proven in the Thaw trial is that
Evelyn Nesbit's mother is the
most inhuman parent that ever
raised a girl. At the tender age
of sixteen years she showed her
into the arms of professional
seducer for money. She knew
her daughters fate as well before
the act as she does now with the
lone exception that she could not
know that the child would sue
cessfully resist seduction and be
the victim of a ravisher. Mrs
Holman should be lashed naked
through the streets of New York
City, Why God permits such
women to bear babes is beyond
the comprehension of mortals.

people all want to do something
to advance the interests OF the
town and country. Delta gets out

imprint, thus advertising to all
that there are no printing Offices
to speak of in Delta. You do not
catch Paonia doing any fool trick
like that. And, we are not cast

call attention to their weak points
Delta is our county seat and we
all want her to boom, but the way
to help Delta is to show where
they err. Regarding two papers
in Paonia, there is always room
for a democratic paper where
there is possibility of repub-
lican one existing. Remember
that. Paonia will always have two

why MIX Costs More.

Interesting statistics as to the cost
of milk production are given by the
local milk dealers Of a Massachusetts
town In an announcement made of an
increase In the retail price Of milk to
seven cents a quart during the winter
months. On this announcement we
find the following suggestive compari-
sons:
Twenty years ago mill feed cost $14
per ton; today $22 per ton. Then cot
ton seed cost $1S per ton; today $34
per ton. Then, farm labor cost 500 per
month; today, $2G per month. Then
milch cows cost $45 each; today, sos
each. Formerly a milk dealers outfit
consisted of about % tin cans, costing
about SIS. Today, for the same bust
ness, 1t requires bottles, boxes, filters,
coolers, etc, costing $3.50. Our plumb
ing, carpenters repairs, blacksmithlng
and other like expenses have increased
33 per cent. Added to the above are
the constantly increasing restrictions
of state and local boards of health
which undoubtedly improve the quality
of the milk, but ut considerable in
crease in cost, which Increase has fallen
on the producer and dealer, when 1t
should be paid by the consumer"

The farmer has real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all Of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
tlcal utility, says Farming, whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing were producing GO eggs year or
200 made no difference. His whole aim
has been to breed out q fowl flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes Of better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else. The re-
suit Is that when farmer goes into
the market to buy thoroughbreds with
his money in his pocket ready and will
ing 10 pay for the best stock, he not
only often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays n premium
for something that has been obtained
at sacrifice of the very qualities
which he does need. There are a few
men, however, raising thoroughbred
stock that Is ''bred to lay" or to meet
certain market demands, and those are
the men that should be patronlzed.

Large yields per animal means less
cost in making them.
Success In home dairying depends
upon four things The COW, her care
and feeding, the manufacture OF the
produce, the marketing Of the same.
Unless a big COW Is an extra mllker,
she is less profitable than a smaller
one that is fair mixer.
The butter product Of all cows is
more or less influenced by the care and
feeding of the animal,
An advantage of dairying In connee-
ton with grain raising is that 1t makes
a home market for home grown crops.
Dairying has this advantage, that Its
produce is In the line OF food and Is
always in demand at some price and is
therefore money crop to the farmer ;
20 this may be added the fact that the
snoney comes quite frequently.

A famous veterinary surgeon declares
that grass beats all the drugs in crea-
tion as sure cure for sick horses and
mules. Horses should have few
pounds of grass daily from spring until
fall, he says. The prevalent notion
that 1t is harmful is idiotic and cruel.
Grass to horses Is the same as fresh
vegetables and fruit to us. Their
craving for it proves their need of It.
Yet, ignorant, unfeeling drivers yank
them away from it as If it were poison
Instead of the life-giving medicine it Is,
designed by their Maker for them.
When they gnaw the bark of trees or
eat leaves it is because they crave
grass and can't get it.-BufCalo Horse

Costly in Human Lives.

In ancient times the great engineer
ing works were costly in human lives.
The making Of the Red Sea canal is
said to have involved the loss Of no
fewer than 10000 Egyptians. Buc-
kle's examination made him believe the
number to have been somewhat exag-
gerated, but he gives 1t as still guide
to the enormous waste of human life
in those days. The men who kept 1000
slaves engaged for three years bring
ing a single stone from Elephan-
tine to the pyramids did not care
great deal so long as In the twenty
years In which one of the pyramids
was building there were forthcoming
the 100000 men required for the work.

Few men, even among the money
kings Of bonanza days, have had a
more varied and wonderful experience
than William M. Stewart. The accu-
mutation and loss Of two immense for
tunes and the winning of third at an
age when the great majority of men
are relegated to the retired list seem
but minor Incidents In his wonderful
career. Among the roles he has filed
In his time, and the most of them with
marked success, have been those of
senator, lawyer, editor, orator, Yale
College man, Indian fighter, prospector.
speculator and scientific farmer.
He was born IN the State of New
York, lived while in Ohio, then went
to Yale to study law. When the cry
Of "Gold in California" was raised In
40 he came West, and, between the law
and ore mining, grew SO opulent that
he became known as "the Silver King"
But when he was elected Senator from
Nevada he plunged too deeply into the
extravagances Of capital life, and at
the end Of twelve years found himself
poor. But he did not despair. Again
he came back to the West for fortune,
dug 1t out of the earth in the form of
precious ore, and soon found himself
again millionaire. Power returned
with fortune, and in 1887 he was again
elected to the United States Senate.
! For time he was a greater power
in politics than before He was at the
head OF that group of Republican dele
gates who withdrew from the st. Louis
convention In 1896 because the matori-
ty refused to agree to blmetallism
plank and declared for the gold stand
ard. Stewart was an ardent silver man,
and the success of the gold standard
cause dealt him hard blow. Unwise
speculation and other unremunerative
enterprises in few years reduced him
once more to the lower financial level.
So, two years ago last March, his
term ended, he bade good-by to his
friends In the Senate and returned
once more to the scenes of his former
triumph to again wrest fortunes from
the rocks.
When he returned to Nevada the last
time 1t was known among his friends
that he was almost down and OUT
financially. But he went to work with
the old-time courage, and with his
knowledge Of mines and mining, things
ere long began 10 come his away again.
He made several lucky strikes and In
vestments, and almost before a year
had elapsed he had made good start
toward retrieving his fortunes, 1t is
believed that he is now worth at least
quarter Of million, and possibly
much more. He has shelved his social
and political ambition, and declares
that this fortune-his third-will moi

came within full view of the players.

negro girls, ranging in age from 19 to

white shirt waists, black stockings, and
regulation baseball shoes They were
equipped with every modern device for
capturing the frlsky baseball. Stoop-

the pitcher to do but SO hard for the

herself. The stranger asked for expla-

the reply. ''They come out here and
practice almost every night after 6
o'clock. They have made several trips
to Kansas towns, including Atchison
and Topeka. Can they play ball? Look

A little negro girl had just gone to
bat. The pitcher "tied herself in a
knot" as much as her skirts permitted
and threw the ball with speed that
would do credit to Rube Waddell. The
batter met it squarely ION the nose"
