OUR STRENUOUS GOVERNOR

After next Tuesday it will not be
correct to refer to President Roosevelt
as the only executive leading the
strenuous life. for in this line Teddy
will have to divide honors with his
ardent friend and supporter. Govern
or Buchtel who proposes as governor
to be even buster than he has ever
been before if such is possible.
The new governor is q veritable
human dynamo, one of the real work
ers of the day. and his penchant for
accomplishing something has given
him little time for idleness.
It was reported some time ago that
the new governor would Withdraw
from the ministry and not attempt to
preach during his term Of Office, de.
voting his Sundays entirely to rest.
But it seems that the person respon-
eible for this report is not very we'll
acquainted with Chancellor Buchtel.
Recently friend ventured to suggest
to him that he muss>>be very busy
these days when the governor with a
smile replied "Oh. I don't know
that it's any worse now than usual.
You see I've been very busy man all
my life and 1 seem to just fall into
this work naturally"
The governor will continue to dis
charge the responsible duties of chan
cellor of the university, and will
preach his usual number of sermons,
about 300 year.
In an interview a little over a
week ago, Governor Buchtel indicat-
ed his wonderful force and deter.
mination by giving out the follow ing
statement:
Il have not let up in the least.
Last Sunday preached twice at
Grand Junction. When in district
where the towns are close together
will cover as many of them on Sun
day as l can reach by train. Preach.
ing is a better business than the gov
ernorship. 1t is better than any other
occupation and would not allow any
duties to stop me absolutely from my
life work. You can say that will
make my usual 800 sermons this year
and next. Preaching is better than
resting on the Sabbath.

isfaction in exchange for which dol

We have worked hard to please, we
have given the people better paper,

justified but there is at least partial
recompense in the remembrance of
duty we'll performed. The newspaper
business is strenuous grind but there
is delight in being of some value
to the community and the world. and
if we have succeeded in that laudable
ambition we shall forget the discour-
agements, the overdue bills and the
tax collector and begin 1907 with re-
newed determination to make the
Pest better and brighter and worthier
of your support than ever before.

the same experience. There Is always
great difficulty in finding enough pub
lie money to go round and to accom-
plish the work which has seemed
really imperative.
We doubt if any of the easter n
states 30 years after their admission
enjoyed roads half as good as ours.
and vet when we remember that this
is fast and progressive age we are
not at all satisfied with our present
highways and we look forward to the
Colorado of the future and see beau
tiful boulevards paved with the disin-
tegrated granite and other material
of which the state has an abundance.
But as we gaze into the future we
are troubled with myopia. In our
zeal and desire we become near sight
ed, as it were, and we want to draw
a short focus with the telescope of
experience. We think OF the splen-
did automobile roads of some eastern
states and we long for the time when
these will be duplicated in Colorado
when the farmer can haul to market
with one team twice and three times
as much of the produce Of his farm as
is possible at present, and when riding
across the country with team or au-
tomobile will be real pleasure.
Up to the present time the most
feasible plan presented. 80 far as the
Posts judgment goes, is that suggest
ed by Governor Buchtel, of working
the convicts in the penal institutions
in constructing highways over the
state. If the scheme is feasiole, as
experienced officials declare it to be,
there is no reason why these people
whose apprehension. conviction and
incarceration have cost the state i'm
mense sums of money should not in
this way partially recompense the
state for this great expense. This
force could be used on large contracts
while the counties could take care of
the smaller work as at present. In
this way the convicts who are now
yearning for an opportunity to work
will be permitted to render splen-
be greatly benefited.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, Dec. 81.
Owing to the fact that last week
WAS holiday week receipts of cattle
were extremely light at all points.
Demand on this market was very
good-in fact rather better than was
expected-and prices advanced 10 to
25 cents. Beef stuff was especially
wanted but few steers on hand Sew
eral punches of choice pulp-fed cows
from northern Colorado sold at f3. 25
to %. 55 and fancy Wyoming grass
cows brought *5.65 to So 80. Fair
to good killing cows sold at 81 80 to
%. 25 and medium to common from
$2.6 80 all the way down to $l75 Very
few stockers and feeders arrived.
Country buyers were scarce but deal
ers had place for all the desirable
steers offered and could have used
more. Good steers advanced 10 to 20
cents, and even the common kinds
sold to better advantage, although
the advance was not so large. To-
days receipts light. Demand good
and prices steady to strong. Choice
northern Colorado pulp-fed steers sold
at a. 40 to IS. and cows at SO to 81. so.
The local market is in fine shape
and dealers look for good inquiry
for all desirable cattle this week.
Preparations are going forward
rapidly for the big stock show to be
held here next month, and this year 8
exhibition promises to be many times
larger than that of last year, both in
number and quality of exhibits.
Eastern feeder buyers and packers
will be here in large numbers to
compete with local buyers for the
stuff here at that time. and stockmen
throughout the West recognize this
to be good time to ship. Experience
of last year proves that there will be
a strong demand for everything, and
present indications are that large
number of cattle will be here for
market that will not be entered in the
show. Dates for the show have been
changed by the executive committee.
Instead Of beginning ON January "a
as previously announced, the exhibi.
tion will start on Monday. January
81, and close Saturday the 28th.

POTATO PLANTING.

Place the seed pieces not more than
sixteen inches apart in the row and

opened. Have the plow large enough
and run 1t deeply enough 50 that 1t
may be run in the middle of the spaces
and yet cover the seed to Il depth all
told OF eight or ten inches-that Is,
close to the ridges over the seed to
sharpish edge. If the tools you have
will not do this, plant the rows closer
together. More potatoes can be Sc
cured by close planting, but the i'm
plements Of intertillage are not usual
ly suited to narrow intervals
In from ten days to two weeks the
seed potatoes will have healed over and
the sprouts have grown to u length Of
from one to two inches. However, this
will depend on the earliness of plant
ing and the temperature and character
of the land. In any case level the
ridges before the sprouts have become
so long that they will be injured by
the leveling process. The best leveling

NOT SINCE the organization of
Colorado has the state enjoyed such
wonderful prosperity and made such
marvellous progress as during the year
of 1906 just closed. There was
time few years ago when Cripple
Creek and Colorado Springs were al
most reeking with wealth that people
looked on and said, Behold what
wonderful prosperity" but while
these and few other isolated places
enjoyed what up to tnat time was un
paralleled prosperity, other portions
of the state plodded along in much
the same old style to which they had
heretofore been accustomed. But
then came 1906 and it proved the best
year to every portion of the state and
to every industry that has ever been
known. Farming, stockraising. hor-
ticulture. mining and manufacturing
have all exceeded the results of former
years by many thousands of dollars,
until the state now enters the new
year of 1907 richer in every industrial
enterprise than ever before and with
prospect of eclipsing all former
efforts during the coming year.

Did you ever notice bunch Of fall
pigs go out and take meal of ice cold
slop in the morning and then go back
to their quarters and shiver for two OF
three hours? Under such circum-
stances a pig cannot be expected to
make very rapid gains, and 1t is foolish
to expect him to make market hog by
the time he is six OF seven months old
If he Is handled in this way After the

used is simply dry corn, in addition to
a good feed of slop at least once q day

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS

The Post this week received an ar.
ticle concerning county roads but we
do not believe it offers solution tc
the very serious problem and there
fore cannot give it space. The ques
tion Of better roads is one of great i'm
portance and one which will require
much intelligent thought and consid
Grafton.
There is in Colorado an abundance
of road building material, reasonably
accessible, and this state ought tc
have and, if willing to pay the price,
may have highways second to none in
the United States. True, it will re
quire considerable money to place thi.
material "where it will do the most
good" as the urchins of the street
would say, and the scarcity of public
money and ths excessive demands on
that which is available is in part re.
sponsible for the present poor condi.
tion Of the Colorado roads.

Illustration. The surface Of the ground

SATURDAY. JANUARY 5. 1907
REPUBLICANS ARE SATISFIED

Some of the people and papers of
Colorado affect to believe that the &C
tion of the recent republican caucus
in endorsing by practically a unani-
nous vote the candidacy Of Simon
Guggenheim for the United States
senate is most deplorable affair and
something the state and the party
should be dreadfully ashamed of.
IL will be noted. however, that in
nearly every instance these people or
papers are known for their democratic
tendencies and therefore. according to
political practices, are not expected tU
have much to say as to what the dom
inant party shall do, except by way of
criticism.
Four years ago when the democrats
were in the minority in the senate
they succeeded in taking advantage of
the wellknown antagonism to GER
tain republican candidate and py one
intrigue or another forced the election
of Henry NJ. Teller, a democrat, to
the office OF senator. Two years prior
to that time, the democrats being cas-
lily in the majority, elected whom
they pleased to the United States SEN
ate, the successful candidate being
Thomas M. Patterson, who has now
almost completed this term.
The republicans propose to do on
January Is just what the democrats
did on the two occasions mentioned
elect the man they wish to elect, and
that man is Simon Guggenheim.
If there is anything unusual or un-
precedented in such action We fail to
see it. If it is wrong for the legisla.
ture to elect to the senate Of the
United States man who is the choice
OF a ma ajority of its members, Colo
RADIO may look for the commission Of
crime on January Is.
Some have boldly stated that Colo
RADIO had many better candidates for
the position but none of these candi-
dates have made an effort to secure
the plum. Besides all must admit
that no man who has ever held the
position or who has ever been men
toned for the place could be more
thoroughly in love with Colorado and
more willing to work for her best in.
terests than Simon Guggonheim. He
does not tire of singing the praises Of
this great commonwealth and he will
work increasingly in her interests. He
may lack the oratory and bombast of
some of bis predecessors and surely
we ought to feel thankful for that,
but when it comes to genuine work,
we'll, we're going to trust Simon.
