recent meeting of the Canon City Mer-
chants Association at the Strathmore
hotel E. C. Van Diest, superintendent
OF the park Improvements being car
risd on by Gen. VIM. J. Palmer at Col
orado Springs. took occasion to make
some suggestions in relation to similar
work here which may be OF interest
to our civic improvement league and
park commission.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Van
Diest says:
The spirit of your cordial invitation
TO attend the dinner OF the Canon City
Merchants Association is heartily ap-
preciated. The work of your parb
committee merits all the aid that your
city and citizens can give them. Moth

Gated and well kept system of parks.

Polar exploration has made more
progress within the past rs years
than in any other similar period. This
was well illustrated last month, when
Commander Robert E. Peary, of the
American navy, Col. David l.. Brain

duke of the Abruzzi, of the Italian
navy, met at a dinner in New York in
honor of the duke. Each of the three

held this record till Nansen passed it
in 1895, reaching sc degrees, 13 6-1OO
minutes. The duke of the Abruzzi in
1900, or the party sent out by him.
beat this by about 20 minutes, and
Peary last year. surpassed them all,
touching 81 degrees and six minutes.
In the % years since Col. Brainard's S
achievement the explorers have gone
almost three and one-half degrees
nearer to the pole, or at the rate of
about ten miles year. There remain
about 200 miles to go.

Good Crops on the Plains.

Akron, Colo.-Plowing at the Akron
sub-experiment station, under the con.
troll OF the bureau Of plant industry,
Is completed-forty-sev acres. This
will be divided into plats of one-tenth
of an acre each.
J. E. Payne, who had control OF the
Cheyenne Wells experiment station,
will commence the buildings and other
necessary improvements by August.
Prof. Paddock of the Agricultural
College at Fort Collins has made pre-
liminary arrangements for future tree
experiments and Prof. Carpenter has
ordered forty acres plowed as soon as
possible. An effort will be made to
show the value of shelter belts for crop
production, as well as the kinds of
trees best adapted to the plains region.
Harvest has commenced on the
plains and the outlook is that the crops
will be good. The recent rains are
causing the wheat to fill rapidly, and
the prospects for corn crop were
never better. Barley is fair crop and
is now being harvested.

Teddy Making Hay.

New York.-President Roosevelt har.
vested the hay crop on the Sycamore
Hill farm. Edward Maloney of East
Norwich, Long Island, who worked at
the task, told the story In the village
store In his home town. He said
About o'clock the President came
out to the field. He was dressed in
white suit and a white negligee shirt,
and with hearty greeting all around,
began to pitch with the others, with
one loading.
Before the first load was done you
would not have given 30 cents for that
white shirt. And talk about the sweat
drops, like peas! The President shed
them as big as black walnuts, dropping
from his face, and he didn't stop to
wipe them OF, either. but kept rigl$

had to get under them and shove them

Japs War to Death.

Platteville. Colo.-Kesakuna Rous
uke, a Jap, aged twenty-five, was
shot and killed by fellow coun-
tryman in a dispute over money
due for work in the beet fields. Five
bullets were fired into his body by the
infuriated man.
Rbusuke was in a cabin with four
other Japs when the murderer ap-
peared at the door and began firing
into the crowd. One bullet pierced the
mans shoulder before the door could
be slammed In the murderers face.
The latter. however. forced his way
into the cabin and while his victim
crouched behind a trunk for shelter,
sent a bullet through his back. caus-
ing instant death. He then emptied
the gun into Rbusuke's body and later
disappeared in the darkness.
He has not yet been found. None of
the Japs know the name Of the man
who did the shooting. although they
are acquainted. Tuesday night Rbus-
uke was chased from the Casey ranch
two and one-half miles north OF Long
mont by the murderer and was only
saved from being killed by the inter-
ference OF fellow countrymen.

Cost of Feeding Paroled conviets.

Paroled and discharged convicts
from the Colorado Penitentiary are
cared for and secured positions at the
rate Of $23 each, according to the re-
port of w. E. Collett in his second
quarterly report of the Colorado Prison
Association. This is only one-third the
cost which the Kansas Society for the
Friendless, an organization twice as
old as the Colorado association, has
to expend to care for released con-
victs.
1t is recommended in the report that
r. A. Hoffman, district secretary,
should be made field secretary. as he
does work all over Colorado. The ap-
pointment of a special committee at
the next meeting of the association, to
confer with the governor in regard to
the appointment of the board which
is to enforce the new prison law,
should be made Immediately, as the
law goes into effect very shortly.
Since the organization of the soci-
ETY., three and a half years ago, 447
prisoners have been cared for at a
cost of $10,302.69. The Kansas soci.
ETY., in its first year after branching
out to Colorado, averaged $114 pris-
oner in 1904 and $105 a prisoner in
1906. Forty-seven cases were aided
this quarter and 1O6 for the half year.
or as many as were assisted during
1905, and one more than were cared

Perhaps the largest and most valua
ole of literary treasures the world has
lost was the Alexandrian library. This
collection, the most remarkable of the
ancient world, is said to have con.
tained in it's most flourishing period
100000 or, according to others, 1000
manuscripts. Its royal founder col.
iected from all nations their choicest
composition. We are told that one of
his successors went so far as to re-
fuse to supply the Athenians with
wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts of Aeschylus.
Sophocles and Euripides. When julius
Caesar laid siege to the city the
greater portion of this library was
destroyed by fire. 1t was later re-
placed by the collection presented to
Queen Cleopatra by Marc Antony.
But it was not destined to endure
long. When the Emperor Theodosius
the Great in 391 A. D. ordered the
destruction of all heather temples
within the Roman empire, the Chris
tians, led by the archbishop Theophil-
MS, did not spare that of Jupiter, in
which were kept the literary treas
ures. From this general destruction
about 1000 manuscripts escaped, only
to be burned in $40 by Saracens under
the Caliph Omar.

The underpald Profest or.

scribe temperately for the scholar in
the republic the recipe of plain living

timely for the scholar and the public

says a writer in Scribners. The sim

it required no genius to enunciate.
But I know of nothing that simplifies
life so effectively as the possession of
little ready money. l know of moth

everlasting balancing of accounts that
will not balance and the insistent in

this distracts and devitalizes, and in

NO OCCASION FOR WAR TALK.
Japanese Admirals Declare 1t 10 All
Newspaper Copy.


New York.-Two distinguished jap
lnese took occasion to declare in no
Uncertain trims that there were no un-
friendly issues between the United
States and japan, and to decry the un-
lue importance attributed by some to
trivial incidents.
The champions of peace and friend
Ihip between the two countries were
Admiral Baron Yamamoto, a guest of
he city, and Viscount Aoki, Japanese
ambassador, who came from Washing
ION to attend the luncheon given by
The Japanese society of America in
honor of Admiral Yamamoto.
In the course of formal statement
Ambassador Aoki said:
There exists between the two gov.
srnments no difference or i'll feeling of
whatever sort. There is not the slight.
est cause for anxiety in the American.
Japanese relations, and If there is any
anxiety. 1t is not because of the act
nal existence of any difficulty between
the two countries, but because of the
aemagogic influence of some unwar-
tainted press talk that often tends
10 drive even the calmest temper of
the public into whirl of tempestuous
ltage."
At the luncheon at the Hotel Astor,
Admiral Yamamoto spoke in a similar
strain, saying:
1T is now over fifty years since
America first opeded intercourse with
Japan and introduced us to the nations
II the West. we all know what we owe
to the United States for the develop
ment of our industries and commerce
md leo f<Sr.t I,p

preciate the sympathy shown us by the
Americans during the late war.
1--WE have always been next door
heighbors with only an ocean between
us, but with the acquisition of the
Philippines by America, which is quite
close to our Formosa, our territories
became still nearer, thus facilitating
even more intimate intercourse.
"Our interests, commercial and
otherwise, are so intimately inter
woven, and the cordial relations be
tween us for fifty years standing are
Of SO firm nature, that l can conf
IDENTIFY affirm that they will never be
destroyed by mere trifling incidents.

even this slight cloud will soon be dis.
lpersed.
1--WE are all aware of the high sense
Of justice and humanity possessed by
The Americans, the principles which
form the very foundations of the Re.
public"
Rear Admiral Evens, commander OF
the Atlantic fleet, said that when the
newspapers of this country stopped
making war between Japan and the
United States the people would come
to their senses and a better feeling
would exist all around.
