The members of the club are willing

mind after arriving on the ground and
desire to go back single. her expenses

with interest, for the idea seemed to
have brought new hope into her eyes.

my suggestion.
"Oh!" she was a school friend of
mine and is the sweetest girl that

Her father and mother are both dead

so she can come just as well as not,

have asked her to visit me long ago.

familiarity, crossing his legs and lean

Another short period of silence

BELIEVES IN DRY FARMING.
Do7ahue Tells Why He Has Faith in
the New System.

81 wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are more than 100000
GOO ofarable acres of unoccupied prairie
between this city and the Kansas-Ne-
braska line. This territory can and
will be reclaimed without the aid of
irrigation where the artificial applica-
tion Of water is impossible. These mil
lions of acres of now unproductive
prairie that stretch in one monotonous
and almost unbroken waste between
this city and the rising sun will,
within the next half century, support d
population many times greater than the
entire population of this state at the
present time" declared John ii. Dona-
hue before a banquet of the Mile High
Club at the Savoy hotel in Denver,
speaking on the subject, What is Dry
Farming?"
Mr.. Donahue, who is one of the coun-
try's recognized experts on the subject
and has been largely instrumental in
introducing dry farming in Colorado,
gave thorough exposition of the sub
ject.
lie said, further:
When history shall have accorded
the proper place to each public charac-
ter now upon the stage of action in
proportion 10 the lasting benefits which
he conferred upon his countrymen, ]
believe that the chief executive of this
nation-Theodore Roosevelt-will oc-
cupy one OF the most lofty pedestals
among them all, and subsequent gener-
ations will lay laurel wreath upon his
monolith as a testimony of their ap-
probation of the services he rendered
them when he conceived and was in
strumental in inducing Congress to
enact into statute the now famous
reclamation act"

jury has been impaneled Upon the for

Owing to the fact that the lunacy
complaint sworn out by Mrs. Dila
Routt Collins against her father was
irregular in form. Judge Charles Nc
Call granted the request of Attorney
Charles A. Stokes, representing Mrs.
Collins, for continuance until May
Sd.
Besides Attorney Stokes there were
present in court when the case was
called Attorney Ralph Hartzell, Attor-
ney Ben c. Hilliard, guardian ad litem
appointed by the court; Stuart ID. Wal
ling, representing John II. Routt, and
County Attorney Fred Parks.
No testimony was taken at the in

the members OF the jury were to have
visited the Routt home to ascertain for
themselves his mental condition.
The petition filed by Mrs. Collins,
which forestalled any attempt of the
four remaining children of Governor
Routt to make fight to contest the
will left by Mrs. Routt and also the
trust deed executed a few days before
her death, which transferred 100000
worth OF real estate to Mrs. Collins.
and which has been suppressed, is
now made public for the first time. 1t
reads as follows:
ITO the Hon. Ben B. Lindsey, Judge
of County Court:
"Your complainant, Lila Routt Col
Inns of said city and county of Denver,
respectively, makes complaint against
John l.. Routt and allege:
THAT said John l.. Routt is luna
tic, or an insane person, and is so dis
tracted in mind as to be incapable of
properly or safely attending to his af-
fairs or managing his estate.
THAT said John l.. Routt was the
husband of Eliza ]. Routt, late of the
said city and county of Denver, who de-
parted this life in said city and county
of Denver on March %, A. ID. 1907.
"S'hat said deceased left last will
and testament, wherein the said John
l.. Routt was named as deyisee and
beneficiary, and by virtue of the said
will the said John l.. Routt is entitled
to real and personal property, which
he is incapable of properly managing.
"That by the insane condition of the
said John l.. Routt he is incapable of
realizing the effect of or understanding
the citation which must be served upon
him before said will can be probated
in this court.
Wherefore your complainant re-
spectfully asks that inquiry may be
made into the sanity of said John l..
Routt and whether he is so insane or
distracted in mind az to render him in
capable of managing his estate, then
your complainant prays that a conserv
ator be appointed by this court to care
care for, manage and control the es-
tate of said John l.. Rontt in accord

FREIGHT RATE KINDEL AGAIN.
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
for Further Evidence.

Denver.-Asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to forward to
that body any further evidence he
might have secured relating to the un'
Just discrimination against Denver IN
the matter of freight rates, George j.
Kindel has sent facts and figures relat-
ing to four cases, showing plainly, in
his opinion, the discrimination al.
legged.
He cites the case of William v.
Thascher, who established jobbing
house for boots and shoes in Denver
and is contemplating moving to ore
gon because of the dfscriminative
freights against him In his line. Mr.
kindel finds that the rate on rubber
boots and shoes from Boston to Den
yer, all rail. is $2.72, while from Bos-
ton to Portland, Oregon, all rail, 1t is
but $1.S5. From Denver to Boise.
Idaho, the rate is $40. while from
Portland to the same point it is but
S1.5O, showing that Denver suffers a
total handicap on the points in ques-
tion of $2.27 per hundred weight.
If these same goods are shipped to
Reno via Denver from Boston, the
freight is $500; whereas, If shipped
from Boston to Portland and back
again to Reno, the freight is but SZo4.
Another case is that of George o.
Miller of Denver, who received ship
ment of books from Portland, for
which the bill of lading gave $1.6O
rate, but for which his expense bill
shows he was forced to pay at the rate
OF SO per hundred weight. This, in the
face of the fact that books shipped
from Portland to any Missouri river
point, would have been paid for at tho
rate of $l.50 per hundred weight.
kindel also cites the cases of j. T..
Caughlin, charging exorbitant rates
against Denver on motorcycles, and of
r. NJ Davis, charging excessive over
charge on Photographic materials from
the Mississippi river to Denver. Kindel
states that these four men are ready
to sign the complaints which may be
drawn to cover the cases in question.

MAKES CONFESSION OF MURDER
California Man Writes Letter That
Clears Up Colorado Mystery.

Delta, Colo.-A victim Of the white
plague and, if the physicians know, but
short time yet to remain in this
world, F. c. Bartlett, formerly of Delta.
but now in hospital in Indio, Caliior-
MIA, has confessed to the cold-blooded
killing of Fred Thielman in this county
twenty-three years ago. The victim OF
the foul crime was found dead in
cabin on the day following the date on
which Bartlett says he killed him, and
an inquest held some time later re
turned a verdict of accidental death.
The remarkable deathbed confession
follows:

Delta county, Colorado-Dear Sir: In
the summer of 1883 l. with Frank IrA

summer. During the time we got into

evening after coming home from hunt

Whether we were disputing at the
time or not l can not recall. but the
awful idea struck me to kill him then

leading shotgun I shot him about
the right ear, breaking in his skull and
causing instant death.

present brought in verdict of death

that effect. have never mentioned to

Charles Deterich, who is the means OF
bringing me to my God. who so will

notify the civil authorities and give
myself up for any action which you
may take. Yours faithfully,
