Alton b. Parker, the gentleman who
was at the bottom of the 1904
avalanche and who is now an attorney
for various great corporations. says
that he is ready to take the stump for
Bryan. He will cut just about as
much of a figure as he did at the
Denver convention. Bryan stumped
six states for Parker and all six of
them were carried handsomely by the
Republicans. No doubt the Bryan
national committee will see to it that
Parker is assigned to stump such
doubtful states as Texas and Florida.

out of the question entirely

LONGEST BRIDGE IN STATE.

Denver, Jan. 1l.-Bids will be
received by the state engineer S
Office on January 20 for the erec-
ton of the longest bridge ever
built by the state. 1t will span
the Grand river at Silt and will be
252 feet in length. The bridge
which holds the record for length
at the present time is in Mesa
county and is $50 feet long.
The Silt structure will be made
of steel and will be constructed
from plans drawn by c. G. Shelley
of this city whose drawings We're
selected from among others en-
tered in competition. The strength
of the bridge will be along ideas
carried out by the state engineer
since last spring. The structures
now being built are much stron-
ger than those erected in other ad-
miniStrations, being constructed
to support a 16-ton traction en-

1t was not the festive tourist,
neither was it the travelling man

smile.
Ask Jack Worries about it.
This morning when Jack ar
rived at his store he discovered
that something was wrong In the
first place, the cash register had
the appearance of a pile of junk.
The cash was missing. Then there
was a large vacancy in the foun-
tain pen case. All the pens were
missing.
The burglars had taken not only
the money and the pens-a loss
to the house of about $2OO-but to
add insult to injury, had expecto-
rated tobacco juice over the clean
floor.
They gained entrance by smash
ing panel in the back door Be-
fore doing this, however, they
tried to bore hole through a
brick wall at the rear. 1t is the
belief of Marshal Malaby and
others that it was the intention
of the crooks to make their way
into Peisar's store and blow the
safe. On going to the alley, how
ever, they could not exactly To-

CARDIFF TO Be
A DIVISION POINT
From Saturdays Daily Post.

From Saturdays Daily Post.
For some time the Colorado
Midland has been considering
some changes in the working of
its line to conform to the new fed
eral law which prohibits train
men being employed over sixteen
hours in continuous service. The
new law, which will go into effect
March l, will necessitate the split
ting of the present division, which
now extends from Colorado
Springs to Grand Junction. The
Post is reliably informed that dur
ing the last few days the officials
of the company have decided to
make Cardiff a division point, and
the change will be made not later
than March /.
This will mean that the seven
passenger crews of 81 men will
change at Cardiff, that point al
ready being the division point for
freight men; also all passenger
engines now change at that point
No doubt many of these train
men will make their homes in
Glenwood, some of them already
having made inquiry concerning
property here, either for purchase
or rental.
This decision on the part of the
Midland will mean great deal
to Glenwood. as it will doubtless
bring a number of permanent res
idents and even those who make
their homes in Cardiff will be of
great benefit to this town along
trade lines, in the course of a year,

HOW LIGHT
AFFECTS PLANTS.

Paris, Jan. Camille Flam-
marion, the eminent scientist, pub
fishes this week the results of the
remarkable experiments that he
has been conducting for the past
two years to discover the effect
of various lights on the growth of
vegetation. He has number of
plants which he subjected to red,
green. blue and white light the
conditions otherwise being SINH
lar-and the results were most
astonishing.
NJ. Flammarion exhibited to
friends lettuce stock which was
as hard as cane. This had been
grown under the influence of red
light. The leaves, however, of
this stock had lost all their quail
ity and were inedible.
Under the effect of red light
certain vegetables, such as lettuce,
grew fifteen times as fast as under
blue light. On the other hand
blue light has remarkable preserv-
ative powers. An oak tree plant
ed two years ago has kept it's first
leaves, which are now as fresh and
vigorous as when they first ap-
peared. In the same way, ripe
fruit can be kept fresh under a
blue screen for twenty days with
out decay. The strawberry plant
can be retarded for a similar pc
Rod and then be allowed to fruc-
tify. The experiments are expect
ed to have wide application in
market gardening.
The discussion has brought to
light curious story from Lyons,
where many people are employed
in the cinematograph works. 1t
is declared that workers who are
developing films under a red light
for long time become nervous
and irritable. One day the women

The Strauss company at Marble

which is now in operation, and for
running drills at the quarries, fur

this company have been consider

by w. $. Copeland, president OF
the association, who urged frank
ness in all discussions to the end
that the best possible results
might be obtained. This spirit
prevailed throughout. One of the
first matters considered was the

tuition and bylaws by J. White,
J. n. Ashby and n. b. Carr, who
had given the matter considerable
thought. Chairman White of this
committee read their report which
with some few amendments was
unanimously adopted and at an
early date will be printed for dis
tribulion among the members.
