Great Wealth in Potatoes.

Greeley.-Ernest Bliss. one OF five
brothers, all successful farmers in
Pleasant valley, who was one of the
lecturers on the potato special sent out
under the auspices of the State Agri-
cultural College to the southwestern
part of the state, says the institute
work on The trip was most satisfactory.
In some respects" said he. 'the Rio
Grande district has advantages over
the Greeley section for potato raising.
as its soil is better adapted to growing
potatoes, but that district must con
tend with tigh freight rates and pos
sible early floods, which interfere with
the maturity of the crop"
He believes that within few years
Colorado will be known as a great po-
tato producing state. The growing OF
potatoes generally in Colorado will
mean competition for the Greeley po-
tato, but IL will be mony years before
any section can rival this, where
methods of cultivation lead all others.
The San Luis valley has 100000 acres
which, when brought under cultivation.

center
Local farmers are now receiving 80
cents a hundred for their potatoes.

spent in Alamosa. where several hun

both morning and afternoon. A special
train was run down from villa Grove
Hooper and Mosca, and the streets
were lined with farmers teams, who
had driven in from the surrounding
country. The Cowboy band gave free
concert and all business houses were
closed during the morning session.
The special travelled 1,731 miles and
has made twenty-three lecture stops.
More than 5000 persons have attended

being more than 200. This is consid-
cred record breaker, as not more than

entire tour, that the Agricultural Col
lege has made no better move in its

shacks facing on the streets, moved
away during yesterday morning and
last night. The males who live off the
earnings Of fallen women and the men
who profit through renting and sub
renting the houses, had disappeared
from twelve to twenty-four hours be

were caught and lodged In jail on

took rooms in other parts OF town.

Washington. The question of
whether President Roosevelt is an in
tolerant man, after the fashion of King
George Ill, arose in the House Friday.
The discussion was founded on local
newspaper story covering what pur-
ported to be the details of an inter
view Thursday between the President
and Representative Diekema of Mich

tured as humping his desk and berat-
ing Mr.. Diekema for having Joined in

ity leader, that he purposed to offer a
resolution to ascertain If the President
had encroached upon the privileges of
a committee of Congress, Mr.. Diekema
absolved the President from the sug-
gestion of intolerance made by Mr..
Williams and said that the President,
in the conversation which took place,
displayed the greatest liberality in re-
ceiving his explanation of the circum-
stances leading up to the filing of the
report. He denied that the President
thumped his desk. but admitted that he
gesticulated good deal.

Cruise Around the World.

Magdalena Bay.-The news that the
fleet was to continue It's cruise after
reaching San Francisco and complete
the decentralization of the globe by
way OF Honolulu, Sydney and Manila
and the Suez canal, was received
aboard tho fiagship Connecticut and
was at once transmitted TO the com
mandlng officers of the various battle
ships
The news excited the greatest inter-
est and was the most absorbing topic
of conversation since the feet started
from Hampton Roads.
Re..r Admiral Thomas, who will be
the senior rear admiral after Admiral
Evans retires, commented briefly upon
the great trip ahead.
''It can be easily accomplished by
this fleet" he said "1n fact, II will be
easier than the present cruise has been.
While there are many long trips be-
tween stops, every one of our modern
battleships is capable OF carrying suf-
ficient coal to make them. with some
to spare. We shall have better coal
ing facilities at Honolulu, Samoa, Sgd
ney and Cavite than we have had at the
various places we have coaled on this
trip.
"As l glance over 1t, no difficulties
of moment present themselves. 1t Is,
of course a cruise OF tremendous
length, making the one we are now on
seem small by comparison It would
likely be the last of December before
we would reach New York. although
that is merely guess. 1t would depend
upon the number and length of stops
We would make"

Latest reports say the city was prac-

Chilapa Is the largest town in the

II is necessary to travel one day by

New Guatemala Volcano.

San Francisco.-The steamer Pan
anna Monday morning brought news Of
a volcano in Guatemala, so long extinct
that its name has been forgotten. hav-
ing recently broke out. Its long sleep
terminated three weeks ago with such
terrifying mutterings and spouting of
lava and smoke that the people living
at San Fillipe, at the base of the moun-
tain, are fleeing for their lives.
Opposite the new volcano ia Santa
Maria, volcano which, during the last
200 years. has wiped out town after
town.
The inhabitants of the district fear
a repetition of the Santa Maria catas-
trophies and are, therefore, deserting
the mountainside. Already the country
for miles is covered some inches deep
with dust and ashes from the active
volcano.
