A thousand Acres of Peas.

Denver.-A Loveland dispatch says:
The planting of peas for the new can
ming factory has commenced and from
now on this crop will be one of the
principal products of this locality. One
thousand acres of peas will be grown
this season, which amount will be
trebled next year. The Loveland nurs-
cry sowed the first peas for the new
factory.
A test in raising string beans will
also be made this season, for which
more than 100 acres have been con
tracted. Only limited acreage Of
either crop will be produced this sea
son. as 1t will be largely an experiment
and it was thought best by the man.

Denver Exposition Buildings.

Denver.-The special committee OF
the Colorado fair and exposition com
pleted ground plans Saturday for the
grouping of the building at Overland
park. There may be one or more mi
nor changes later.
1t is proposed to have all buildings
grouped so that there will be no ex-
hausting walks from one part of the
grounds to the other in order to see the
whole show.
J. j. Huddart, the architect, has COM
pietcd plans for the five buildings that
will be erected this summer for the
opening week in September, and these
five form the principal buildings in the
group. They are: Agricultural, 130x
$50; cattle, 7Sx2S5; horticultural. 130x
$50; poultry. 100x15O, and horses. 7Sx
2S5. In addition to these will be build
ings for sheep and swine and several
minor buildings. and also sheds and
stables for stock
The old wilderness Immediately back
of the grandstand has been cut out
and the Platte river will be moved.
Here is where the buildings are to be
erected. The Denver & Rio Grande
depot will be at the farther side of this
tract. Thre are two broad thorough
fares extending from the depot, one to
Immediately back of the grandstand
and the other terminating at the edge
of the grove by the clubhouse. Bisect.
ing these two main streets are five
smaller streets.
At the upper side, or near the depot,
will be the horse and cattle halls
and at the other end the agricul.
tural and horticultural halls. the
former back of the clubhouse and the
latter back Of the grandstand. Be
tween these two sets will be the poultry
and other buildings, with the sheds
and stables at the upper end, or near
the present stables. Back of the ag.
ricultural building and in the form of a
crescent will be the Great Divide, sim.
liar to the famous Pike at st. Louis,
and also between the main streets and
on either side of them will be special
exhibition grounds and special fea
lures.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. April g.
The sharp advances in all livestock
prices during the past few weeks re-
suited in liberal run OF cattle at all
markets last week and prices took a
drop. Locally steers are of z5 to soc
and cows 25 to 40c. The demand is
very good at the decline, the drop here
being the result of lower prices at
eastern points. Steers are selling
mostly at $500 to $5.75. but choice
stuff would bring $500 and fancy
steers probably a little more. Some
choice cows sold early in the week at
$500 but later IL took good ones TO
bring $4.75, and the bulk of the good
killing grades went from this down to
s400. Bulls were lower at $3.50 TO
S3.75. Veals also declined somewhat,
bulk of god light weights selling at
$500 TO $500. Feeders and stocker
supply was liberal and demand very
fair. Good to choice steers brought
$3.50 to $500 and the fair to good
around $500 to $3.50. Indications
point to limited receipts this week and
the trade is looking for reaction
in the way of better prices. 1t is the
consensus of opinion that there is a
shortage of good fat cattle in the coun-
try and If shippers will be conserva-
tive in their marketing for short
time there is every reason TO be-
lieve that the recent loss will all be
regained.
Hog prices advanced sharply early
in the week and on Tuesday a top
was made at $6.05, the highest price
paid this year. Later the market de
clined somewhat but prices are still
10 to 15c higher than week ago with
bulk selling Saturday at $3.50 10
S5.S719.
The sheep market was firm here last
week, despite the fact that eastern
markets quoted declines of rs to S5c.
Ewes sold al $500 and S6.15 and
lambs rought s7.45 and $3.50. De-
mand much etter than supply.

To XIII Grasshoppers.

The eggs of locusts are very ss,sn
killed by being exposed to the dry air
and sunshine of Colorado, so If it is
known that there are many of the
eggs In meadows. alfalfa fields, along
road sides or ditch banks. it is an ex-
cellent plan to pillow or thoroughly har-
row the infested ground during the
late fall. winter, or early spring. 1t
will pay well to harrow the alfalfa
just because of the increased crop of
hay that will result, even II there are
no locust eggs. says Prof. c. p. Gil
lette of the Colorado Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.
The little hoppers. when very abun-
dant about the border of the fields or
along ditch banks, can be largely killed
by thorough spraying with arsenate
OF lead, three pounds to fifty gallons
OF water. or Paris green, one-half
pound to fifty gallons, as for other in
sects. A narrow strip, not to exceed
a rod in width, sprayed early in spring.
will not endanger stock eating the hay
later on. but care should be used not
to put stock upon sprayed areas too
soon.
Where straw is available, it may be
spread lightly over ditch banks and
other places where the hoppers are
abundant and be burned. In gardens
and among potatoes and other vege-
tables poisoned bran can often be used
with success. Mix one pound of Paris
green with about forty pounds of bran,
add Just water enough to moisten the
whole, and then sow it broadcast
where the hoppers are most numerous.
II this poison is used, care must be
taken to keep chickens and other do
mestic animals from the poison for
some time.
One of the simplest and often a very
effectual remedy is to grow plenty of
chickens and turkeys to range over
the infested grounds. Wherever coy
otes abound, however, precautions
must be taken to protect turkeys and
chickens at night. Turkeys are very
profitable, if raised with proper care
as they protect crops from destruc-
tion. forage nearly their whole living
and sell at high price in the fall or
winter
Hopper "dozers" or pans are also
very successful where they can be
used. Anyone wishing directions for
making a good hopper pan should
write the experiment station for copy
of Bulletin No. 112.

President Rules Canal Zone.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
sent a brief message to the House in
answer to a resolution inquiring by
what authority he has exercised the
functions of government in the Panama
canal zone since the fifty-eighth Con-
gress or by what right the executive,
Legislative and judicial functions in the
zone have been performed since that
date. The message follows:
Civil government has been main
tanned in the canal zone under my di-
rection pursuant to the authority con-
ferred by the treaty between the
United States and Panama concluded
November Is, 1903, and the acts of
Congress approved June 2S. 1902, April

which the right to maintain civil gov
ernment in the canal zone which
granted the United States the duty to
maintain it was imposed upon the
President and its means for mainte-
nance were from year to year expressly
and specifically appropriated by Con-
gress."

Making the Best Of t.

That the blind must live in . world
of their cwn, shu. on from all the in
1erests and activities of their fellow
men. is a lessening belief. To deprive
the sightless OF all work such as the
rest OF us do is needless cruelty. In
many of the most commonplace tasks
they keep pace with or even outstrip
those with full senses. Says the sec
retary OF the New York Association
for the Blind: "On the stan of the as
sociation blind stenographer Is regu-
lar1y employed. usually have her to
do my work for me, and find that she
makes fewer typographical errors
than any OF the others. . When
asked the head OF our telephone com
pany to give switchboard for blind
was crazy. That was a year ago.
had the pleasure OF writing him the
other day asking for the installation
Of a switchboard at our new office, and
New York five blind switchboard OPP
orators, two In hospitals In positions
of great responsibility, where they
have the ambulance calls and other
emergency work; two in business
houses and one in the editorial rooms
Of great New York daily paper.
Three of these switchboard operators
are women" The loss of one sense
often whets the other four to keen
ness which overcomes the apparent
deficiency. What the blind usually
lack. says Golfers Weekly. is oppor-
tunity, and the movement to give
them opportunity should enlist the
sympathy and help of all.

The cheapest effective police force
in the world is the Northwest Mount.
ed police. whose territory extends
from Herschell Island to Kenora-the
largest police area in the world. This
entire field is covered by less than 700
men and $50 horses. The work of the
police in the old days was rounding
up horse thieves, whisky smugglers
and Indian murderers. Now it is al
most everything else; the chief relic
OF the old days being the horse thief.
which in that country is hard variety
to exterminate. Many of the mounted
police are now posted singly in the
new towns, where they do local as
well as patrol work.

A Massachusetts man. SO years old,
was SO sure one year ago that he
would die at the end of six months
that he gave away all his property.
which was considerable. to friends and
charitable institutions, keeping only
enough to provide for himself for the
half year. He did not die as he had
predicted, and the other day was taken
to the almshouse. the persons whom
he had benefited refusing to do any
thing for him. The Indianapolis Star
takes occasion to point the following
morals: Moral No. 1: Don't prophesy
unless ye know" Moral No. 2: Don't
give away all your property without a
strong string attached.

NEXT BATTLE COMMERCIAL.
Admiral Evens Prophecies Great Pa
cifIc DeveIopments.

Admiral Evens Prophecies Great Pa
cifie Developments.
San Francisco.--Admiral Robley D.
Evans in an interview printed in the
Chronicle Sunday, said:
The greater interest of the United
States today is in the Pacific. The COM
ing Of the feet to this coast has not
only demonstrated TO the world that
we have sixteen battleships, which can
be brought together for a long cruise at
a moments notice, but 1t has called the
attention of the people of our own
country to the fact that we have Pa
cific coast as well as an Atlantic coast,
and that 1t will be defended Just as
much as every inch of land around New
York, and that our interests in the Pa
ciflc are greater today than in the At
lantic.
This is the short road to countries
of the far East, where the greatest com
mercial development is to be. With de-
yelopment will come war, but 1t will be
commercial war, fought with brains
and dollars, and not with 10-lnch guns.
1t will be generated by such men as
Hartman, and the part of the navy is
always ready. We do not plan nor
fight commercial battles.
THE coming of the feet was most
opportunely timed by the President,
and its arrival in the Pacific has re-
suited in the present assurance of
peace. Not that l ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
too well what a dreadful calamity
such a war would have been.
IF the navy should ever be called
upon to fight in the settlement of our
interests in the Pacific it wonld be to
stop with its guns the commercial de-
velopment for which the leaders of in
dustry are battling with brains and
dollars.
I'VE accomplished much for the
cause of peace in the Pacific when we
demonstrated that the efficiency of the
feet increased with each day of the
cruise. When the feet sailed through
the Straits of Magellan into the Pa
cific the ships were in better condition
and better prepared for action than
they were the day we sailed. That was
proved by the target practice at Mag
dalena bay. and the records of that
practice, which are the most satisfac-
tory, will show it.

The beginning of regulation for
moving-picture shows offers double
opportunity. Those who become re-
sponsible for the worst such shows
can do ought to have an opportunity
to reform in an isolated part of the
Jail where they will not corrupt Its
average morals. Those who get the
best results possible from the bust
ness. says the st. Louis Republic, are
entitled to rank with college presi-
dents as educators and also with null
umillionaires II the visible supply of
nickels and dimes can reward them
for the best the moving picture show
of the future may do for the public.
