DRY FARM EXPERIMENTS
To Be Tried by the Government in
South Dakota.

Belle Fourche.-The Department OF
Agriculture has decided to establish
two experimental farms in western
South Dakota, one under the national
irrigation project near this city and the
other in a non-irrigated region for the
purpose OF showing what can be ac.
compliShed in the way Of dry farming.
This latter farm will be located not far
from the Cheyenne river in Fall River
county, and will demonstrate what
crops can best be grown upon such
lands and what methods are the most
successful.
Dry farming has been carried on with
great success in many parts OF western
South Dakota. The farm near here
will demonstrate the proper use OF
water on irrigated lands, the proper
crops to put in and the methods of cul.
tivation. Owing to the large influx OF
settlers at present from various parts
OF the country, most of whom are un'
familiar with this section. these farms
and their demonstrations will be Of es.

FREIGHT RATES CUT.
A Change That Is Expected to Help
Denver Jobbers.

Denver.-More important for some
reasons than any rate reduction which
the railroads into Denver have yet
made, was the readjustment an
rounced by the Burlington, affecting
200 stations where Denver products
are sold, and opening up to local manu-
tacturers the long-coveted Black Hills

General Freight Agent c. f. Spens

Vallery of this city. called on Thomas
Scott, secretary of the Colorado Manu-
facturers' Association yesterday and
Informed him that they intended to
re-adjust their freight rates in favor Of
Denver to all points on their lines as
far east as Holdredge. Nebraska, as
Ear north as the Montana state line, in
cluding the stations on the Guernsey
branch, and, most important of all. as
far north as Spearfsh, South Dakota.
n the Black Hills territory around
Deadwood. To the cities in the latter
territory Denver is given differential
under the Missouri towns of 10 cents
on first and second class goods and 10
cents on third and fourth class. For
example, the rate on first class goods
from Omaha to Deadwood Is SLAB,
while from Denver to Deadwood 1t will

Fortifying Hawaii.

Honolulu. Hawaii.-After months Of
procrastination the United States mill
tary authorities have begun the work
of fortifying this island and there Is no
doubt here that the Japanese situation
has hastened this action.

the principal batteries. Captain
Otwell. in charge of the work of forti-
Tying the island, has fund Of 100000
Immediately available and about as
much more will be available after the
present session of Congress.
The idea of locating guns and NOR
tars in tho vicinity OF Diamond Head
is to protect the approaches from the
northeastern direction. Diamond Head
lies to the eastward and southwark of
Honolulu, and is about three miles
from the center OF the city. Months
must elapse before the actual work Of
erecting the batteries will be com.
menced. The guns, in fact, are not yet

KILLED WIFE AND CHILD.

Denver.-For the love of another
woman, and she with police record
as a professional thief, Benjamin c..

dered his wife and five-year-old daugh-

ing poison, and then feigned coma
tose condition all day yesterday to
avoid the discovery OF his ghastly
crime. His mind still possessed of the
horror Of his deed, Wright is said to
telling Chief of Police Delaney, in the
presence of witnesses, weird, grew
some tale, rambling in construction,
barren of detail, but illuminated with
the reiterated acknowledgement that
he was responsible for the extermina-
tion of his family.
The dead bodies of Mrs. Wright and
her five-year-old daughter were found
lying on the floor of the bathroom OF
their four-room home, at 374 South
Pearl street, early yesterday morning.
The husband and father was lying
near, unconscious and seemingly
barely breathing, when the police am
bulance arrived. None Of the bodies
showed any signs of the manner OF
their death, and quick poison, leaving
no trace behind, such as cyanide OF
potassium, is believed to have been
used. Wright refuses to divulge the
drug, and it is believed he is protect
ing someone else.
Making stronger the proofs OF guilt
against him, Wright admits the infatu-
alton for Stella Good, police charac-

URGES REPUBLICANS TO FULFILL
PARTY'S PLEDGES.
THEY MUST KEEP FAITH
Fact That Seven Weeks Of the ses-

Denver-Governor Buchtel has writ
ten the following letter TO the Repub-
lican members of the Legislature:
ITO the Republican Members of the
House and Senate:
"Gentlemen-The pledges we made
TO the people on our state platform
were explicit and definite. On this
platform l worked like dray horse,
from the goth of September to the 9Th
of November. l said to all the people
in every part of the state that this Ian
guage was to be understood as the
sincere pledge of honest men who de-
sired to do something for the public
good. l said to the people on the au-
thcrity OF this platform: If you will
elect this Republican ticket from top to
bottom, we will make such a record of
constructive legislation as has never
before been known in Colorado The
people believed me. They did elect
our ticket. 1t is now our business to
keep faith with the people.
About seven weeks of the session
of the Legislature have now passed.
Approximately five weeks of the ses-
sion remain. Down to this day we have
not made good on one of these pledges.
| appeal to you in the name of the peo.
rie to put through this program in
every detail. We must make good, or
the people will wipe the Republican
party off the map at the next election.
If we keep all our pledges both in let
ter and in spirit we may reasonably ex-
pect that the people will be glad to
continue the Republican party in
power.
I'VE ought to have frequent meet
ings to agree on the details of our pro-
gram. 1t is your business to make the
laws. l hope it may please you to
confer with me about the main fea-
lures OF laws which you agree upon in
caucus, for two reasons: First, because
| went everywhere making promises to
the people in working for the whole
ticket. Second. because the laws you
enact must be approved by me. 1t is
therefore fair and reasonable to expect
that we shall all be eager to get to-
gether and stick together for the honor
of the Republican party and for our
own hono~ as men of integrity.
with the utmost courtesy, l am,
Yours for the good of all Colorado,
