Uncle Sam Is
After the Flies.

Catching flies would seem to be a
very small business for a big fellow
like your Uncle Sam to engage in, but
he is at it all the same Official fly
catehers are the latest adjunct to the
government, and the United States
has gone into the fly catching busi-
ness with avidity and vim. Experts
from the chronological bureau of the
agricultural department and marine
hospital department have been sent
out to pursue the pesky insects.
The object the government has in
view is TO verify the old theory that
flies are chief tranSmitters of typhus
germs. To verify this one important
step viii be TO prepare a chart show
ing the varying prevalence of the dis
ease throughout a year, and to COM
pare this chart with a similar one
showing the varying density of the
fly population during the same period
of time. If 1t should be found that the
high tide of typhoid fever and of
house flies correspond. 1t will go far
to corroborate the theory.
OF course, particular experiments
win have to be made as well as mi
croscopical examinations, and we may
expect soon to see cuts in the news
papers showing up this pesky insect
just as the hated and hunted stygo-
mia was depicted two or three years
ago.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Feb. 3D.
Prices on good cattle advanced 10 to
15c here on Monday Of last week but
later all the advance was lost owing
to heavy receipts and sharply lower
markets east. Good beef cattle closed
about steady with week ago and
feeders and stockers are about dime
lower. Good steers sold at $4,000
$4.6c with bulk of the good killing
cows at s3.00d$3.65. A few loads OF
choice northern Colorado COWS sold
during the week at 1915 and q few
fancy odds and ends reached $3.50.
Bulls were weak with bulk at $2.60@
@3.15. Veals firm at $5.000$6.00 for
most Of the good light weights. Feeder
and stocker supply was light. There
is a good strong demand for the good
heavy dehorned steers but light plain
STUFF, such as the bulk Of the offerings
last week consisted, was slow sale on
account of a poor outlet at eastern
markets. The good steers offered dur
ing the week sold at s4.00@s4.45 with
medium kinds mostly at $3.50@s4.00.
Hog supply was very good. Demand
was light early in the week because
Of heavy runs the preceding week,
but there was considerable improve
ment towards the close Of the week
and the market closed in good shape.
Hogs are now selling around $4.25Q
$4.30.
Receipts Of sheep and lambs were
very good and under strong demand
everything offered here found ready
sale. Prices are steady to firm COM
pared with a week ago. Good fat lambs
sold at $6.30@6.65, ewes at $4.10@$4.50
and yearling wethers brought $4,000

A certain savings bank In New
York state. which went into the hands
of receivers in 1900. had assets at that
time estimated at $1.0S6. 900. Bad In
rvestments made 1t possible to realize
only $3.50 and a final settlement
recently made shows that this has
shrunk to $30,000-all the creditors
will receive-$193.0 900 being the cost
of administering the receivership. No
dishonesty is charged. the receivers
themselves getting comparatively
small amount. the remainder going for
the lawyers, referees. clerks, etc.
Nevertheless, the case, which is said
to be typical one, has served to call
attention to an abuse-mainly per-
petuated by attorneys through dila-
tory tactics and mazes of red tape
and has led Gov. Hughes to speak in
his message of the legal expenses In
cident to the settlement of such insti-
tutions as grave scandal. This 1t
certainly seems to be, and its kind,

Empire of Undreamed OF Possibilities.
"The Unknown Philippines" is the
title of an article In The World To-
day by Hamilton Wright. He says:
1.-THE archipelago is an empire Of un-
med-of-possibilities. Possibly no
country in the world may excel It's
unique and lasting charms. Were 1t
known 1t would become a paradise for
the sIghtseer and tourist. Yet one who
has not left the well-traveled routes
will with difficulty appreciate its mar
velous diversity and almost limitless
opportunities. think 1t was fortunate
for the Filipino people that the
Americans came. For there is no
way in which the native inhabitants
will develop faster. They are initia-
tive and adaptable to degree, and
they progress faster when in contact
with tie white settler than when left
to their own devices. The grasp with
which the Filipino people are laying
hold of a totally new scheme of life is
the astonishment of the European ma
tions which have colonized the Orient.
There is room in the Philippines for
ten times the present population to
dwell ip happiness and comfort. 1t is
nonsense to say corporations will ex-
ploit the Filipinos. In the first place
the corporations cannot hold enough
land, and in the second place the peo-
pie will not work efficiently II
