AXLE GREASE.
It Does Not Pay to Use Any But the
Best,

The usefulness and durability of a
wagon or dray depends greatly upon
the proper care of the wheels and
axles. The prevailing idea among both
farmers and draymen is that grease is
grease anywhere and it doesn't matter
much what kind or how it is applied,
just so 1t is applied. Many wagon
owners cut the boxi;igs out of their
wagon wheels by some inferior iubri-
cant. Many of these run and leave the
spi..lle dry or form a stiff, gritty SUBJ
stance in the wheel which is very bad
The right axle grease should have
proper body; should not be SO thin as
to run nor so thick as to cake. There
are plenty of reliable axle greases on
the market and there are plenty which
are not reliable. Get good, expen-
sive kind and stick to it. 1t pays
every time.

APPOINTED MANAGER TO BUILD
THE DENVER, LARAMIE 4
NORTHWESTERN.
WORK NEAR DENVER
GRADING ON FIRST TWENTY
MILES NORTH FROM CITY
NEARLY COMPLETED.

Denver.-The Republican Friday
morning says: "As view it, the
building of the Denver, Laramie &
Northwestern railway is one of the
greatest works of the kind ever un-
dertaken in this country, and l con-
slider 1t an honor worthy of any ambi-
ton to be associated with an enter
prise that will open virgin empire in
the Northwest. This is the chief rea-
son | am leaving a position with the
Denver & Rio Grande. where every
thing is congenial, for the purpose of
helping to push the new Denver-Se-
attic line to completion"
The above is the reply of A. E.
Welby to question concerning the re-
port that he had been appointed gen
eral manager Of the Denver, Laramie
& Northwestern railway.
Continuing, Mr.. Welby said:
II have looked into every phase of
the enterprise and see nothing but
success for the men associated with it,
and l intend to spend the next few
years of my life in hurrying it to com
pletion | shall have the title vice
president with entire charge of con
struction and all matters pertaining to
the railroad. My first business will be
revising the work so far done north of
Denver, and looking over the general
situation regarding terminals, rights
of way and other properties, and then
it will be time enough to announce
plans"
MIR. Welby's appointment was genu-
inc surprise to railway officials along
Seventeenth street, who consider him
one of the best railroad builders in the
West. President C. S. Johnson of the
company, said:
1.-THE finances Of the road are in
such shape now that the line can be
pushed with all possible speed from
Denver through Fort Collins and on to
the coal and iron fields in Wyoming,
distance of $50 miles"
The grade of the new road has been
completed to q point twenty miles
north of Denver, except few patches
where the farmers are still gathering
their crops.
Two hundred carloads of ties are un-
loaded at the 1G0-aCre terminal neal
the Argo smelters and everything In
shape to begin laying rails. The bridge
across Clear creek. a trestle 800 feet
long. is nearing completion.

Larimer County Ditch Plans.

Denver-Ditches which will furnish
irrigation for 149,S00 acres of land in
Larimer county will be constructed by
the Bellevue-Lew Stone Log-Ris lie
bow and Empire bitches and Reser
voir Company, according to plans filed
in tie office of the state engineer
Following the specifications, there will
be two reservoirs, of which the first
will cost $14,791 and the second $7S,
IT'S. The building of the principal
ditch will entail an expenditure of
s219,000, while three smaller ones will
cost total of $2.096. Situated on the
right hand side Of the Cache La Pou
DIRE river, the bitches will draw mos
of their water from that stream and
adjacent reservoirs. During part Of
their course, they will pass through
the land of the State Agricultural Col
lege. The Bellevue ditch will be 6.5
feet deep, 5S feet wide at the top and
40 feet wide at the bottom.

PROPER LOCATION OF DRAINS.
Before Beginning Work Make Accu-
rate Map of Area to Be Drained.

John T. Stewart. in an address to
, Minnesota farmers, said:
The basis for all drainage improve
ments is an accurate map of the area
to be drained. Such a map, known
as Topographic map, should show all
local improvements, the boundaries of
lands to be benefited by the drain
age and the boundary of the water
shed. 1t should also show the eleva-
ton above fixed point of all sloughs,
low lands and the tops of ridges
through which it might be necessary
to construct the outlet channel, and
wherever practicable and funds are
available fivefoot contours should be
sketched of the field.
With such map the engineer can
determine the best outlet and route
for the proposed channel. On this
map the location for the proposed
drains can be laid out, their grade,
size and approximate cost determined,
after which the ditch may be staked
out on the ground, making such minor
changes as are found necessary by
, closer study Of the route. Where
detailed survey has been made and
the notes plated it is economy to es-
tablish a few permanent marks, from
which the survey could be continued,
or another engineer at some future
time could take up the work where it
has been left off without having to
duplicate that which has already been
done. Land owners should select
points for these marks where there is
little danger Of their being molested
and then see to it that they are pre-
served.
Farmers as a rule do not realize the
Advantages In preserving survey mon
uments. This fact alone has been
the cause Of waste of much money
by the duplication of work. Surveys
for drainage often costing several
hundreds Of dollars. have frequently
been made, and where the construc-
ton work was not carried out the
notes and plats were never filed and
no permanent mark left. When the
work is taken up few years later, it
Is necessary to duplicate the survey.
A few additional dollars spent in
making permanent marks and in pre-
pairing the records for filing would
have preserved the entire work for
future use.
In maiy cases an engineer Is en-
ployed to stake out a drain on
route which is supposed to be the
best one, no examination is made for
another route or outlet, the area OF
the watershed is not looked nm As
q result the size of the ditch is mere
ly a guess. Time may develop the fact
that the best route was not selected,
and the ditch is either too large or
too small. and consequently does not
perform its work satisfactorily. A
ditch being improperly located either
does not drain all the land it should,
or is expensive to construct or
maintain.

 UNDESIRABLE In the Social Labor Party

Mention of His Name for Endorsement Raised an UprOar.

New York, July 2.-The name of Eugene V. Debs. candidate for pres ident on the socialist party ticket, was presented for endorsement, un- eXpectedly today in the convention of the socilaist labor party here. Debs was practically read out of the so- cialist labor party at a Chicago gath ering of the Aarty some time ago, and the presentation of his name threw the convention into an uproar. Until the meeting adjourned for the day, at GAS o'clock, he was the subject of a stormy discussion. A man and a wo- man, members of the Socialist La Dor Unity league, offered his name for endorsement.
 When the delegates recovered from the shock an effort was made to have the question go over, but Daniel De Leon, the chairman, demanded that the question be settled once for all A long discussion ensued. nearly ev- cry one of the twenty three delegates taking occasion to explain why he did not favor Debs.

 Anti-GdmbIing Law
The Verbal Individual Bet Held Not to Be Viola ton.

New York, July 2.-The horse rac- ing interests of the state which have been adversely affected by the po- lice application of the new anti-gam bling law, at race tracks, are greatly encouraged by the decision of Justice Bischoff today that the individual verbal bet does not constitute a .crime.
 This decision was handed down in the case of Melville Collins. arrested lat the instance of the Jockey club, charged with having violated the new law by making a bet on a horse race. receiving $5 which he won by it. This case was intended by the Jockey club as a test to obtain q judicial inter pretation of the laws passed by the last legislature at the urgent request of Governor Hughes.
 Racing interests regard the decision as a distinct victory and certain to lessen the rigors by the police's ap- plication of the law. Acting District Attorney Elder of Kings county de- clares that the case will be appealed. He will proceed along the same lines as before the decision was given. In structions had previously been given to the police to arrest everybody seen making a bet

THE Y. M. c. A. BLOCK.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 We are going to have some passion ate controversies and ill-feeling re- garding the proposed sale of the Y. M. C. A. block as We just have had with the Central school block. Both propo sitions stand on the same footing they are, virtually, public property. Men. women and young folks of both sexes have with an unaniminity of sentiment and generosity, subscribed to the V NJ. C. A. funds with the avowed understanding that the pro- ceeds were to be used exclusively for home or building for members of the Y. NJ. C. A. and no other purpose.
 With the rise of real estate in the past year and erection of a fine build ing, the property has enhanced in value to double the sum which was paid for t. The east half, proposed to be ceded for the federal building. be- ing the more valuable, is fully worth $40, 900 and in another year F will be worth $50,OOO
 Why then offer half of the property for $20,0OO. particularly after S10,000 worth of improvements, by the way of excavation, cement work, etc, have been made?
 To say the least this shows injudi ciOus business tactics.
 A number of gentlemen, all subscrib ers to the Y NJ. c. A. fund. happened to meet on a street corner this morning and. discussing the above proposition one and all condemned it and asserted that if that was the way the affairs of the association were being managed they would not pay another dollar of their subscription. One gentleman as serted that # seemed as some of the Y. NJ. C. A. members. interested in the sale have property in the vicinity or on the north part of the city and wish to derive all the benefit of the scheme lat the expense of three-fourth of the other members of the Y. NJ. c. A.
 No matter where the federal build ing be located, the Y. NJ. c. A. block will derive it's full benefit in the ad- vanced price of real estate and at no distant day the block will be valued lat S100,0O0. Why then sell now for s2O,OOO? Closing $1O,OOO worth of i'm provements already made.) I would suggest that we keep the whole block and have flower beds and green lawns for a few years when we can sell half of the property, if deemed necessary, for the benefit of the association, and the great mass of the Y. M. C. A. sub scribers will be better pleased and will be ready to pay promptly and cheerfully their dues.
 Yours truly,

Guffey, the well known democratic leader of Pennsylvania, arrived today.

The democratic party ought to and can win the coming cleo tion, if the convention in its wisdom, makes a platform commensurate with true democracy and name a ticket in harmony herewith. The country is tired of agitation; tired of unrest; if it wants anything it wants stability, quietness and a return of prosperity.

TEXAS HORSE FAMINE.
The Supply Never Recovered Since the
 Boer and Spanish Wars.

San Antonio, Texas, July "A horse famine of serious proportions now pre- vails in Texas and the southwest. So far from the automobile putting the horse out Of business the demand for horses at present in this part of the United States far exceeds the supply and the price is constantly rising. Con- tractors who have for many years been furnishing horses to the United States army are either refusing to make bids or are making them with limitations and restrictions They de- clare that after securing Texas and the adjoining states they find an un- precedented scarcity of vailable stock and that at present breeding is not be- ing embarked upon a scale large enough to promise relief in the next two or three years.
 They are unable to account for the scarcity of horses except on the theory that the breeding stock was depleted in this part of the country during the Boer war and the Spanish war and has never been established. Texas is ideally adapted for the raising of horses and there are some very large horse ranches in this part of the state. It is probable that this scarcity of horses and increase in prices will Op- crate to attract men to the breeding of these animals

WORDS OF PATTERSON.
Drip Gall in Condemnation of the Par

Louisville, Ky, July Recommending upon the Parker resolution to be pre- sented at the Denver convention upon ex-President Cleveland's death, Col. Henry Watterson said:
 "The attempt to drag the dead body of Grover Cleveland from his new made grave into the tumult of the national convention will deceive no one. An invasion of the grief of the noble lady who weeps amid the silence and soli- tude of the Granite hills, is blow at party concord. and it is the act of a shameless hypocrite. Nor was ever the professional ghoul inspired by a more rHercenary spirit, because the sole aim and end of the Murphy -ConnOrs crowd aided by Judge Parker, is the perpetua- ton of the ascendancy of the Belmont Ryan combination to which democracy owes it's last ignominiOus and well de- served defeat. It was Belmont Ryan money that financed Judge Parker's campaign for the nomination of 1904 It was Belmont Ryan money that nominated him, and it was the Bel mont Ryan tag that made an antitrust movement under such a brand absured and impossible.
 Tt seemed fitting that having made sacrifices to predatory wealth Judge Parker should have the recompense of a rich law practice in the city of New York. He had it, and with it enrich ment. and he should rest well content. That he should emerge from his highly

All the Time Though He Will Be Within Easy Reach if Needed--He Has Not Lost all Hope of Hearst's Support.

Lincoln, July 2.-Sifting a state ing with Mir. Bryan today it may safely be stated that the democratic presidential candidates will leave the platform makers and vice presidential canvass alone. However, should oc- casion arise for his interference, MT Bryan has provided means for prompt action! Lincoln will be in close telegraphic touch with the convention hall and Fairview will be in direct and continuous touch by telephone with the telegraph office.
 one discordant note here was sounded by Bird $. COler, who de- clared that he stood squarely in ia vor of the plank urged by Samuel GOmpers. Timothy Ryan of Wauke- sha, Wis, a member of the national committee, declares that a large number of LaFOllette republicans in his state will flock to the democratic standard this fall because their lead CTS measures were given such an uncordial reception by the republican convention.
 This afternoon Farnsworth tele- graphed Charles A. Towne at Den yer that he had canvassed the vice presidential sentiment among the del egates at Lincoln today and found encouraging symptoms in favor of the candidacy of Towne. The Kern boom has gained no particular impetus to- day. Kern declared that he was not candidate and would endeavor to keep his name from being men tioned. The COmmOner in the issue tomorrow will claim SO7 delegates in structed or favorable to Bryan, not including six delegates instructed for him by the Montana convention to- day.
 Those who have seen proof sheets of tomorrow's issue attach some sig nificance to the following with re- gard to William R. Hearst: Re publican papers are quick to assume that Hearst will oppose the demo- cratic ticket. They ought to give Hearst credit for having made a fight for certain well defined reforms; they ought to give him credit for sincerity in advocating those reforms; they ought to know his strength, like the strength of others who are strong with the masses. and the strength Of the reforms to which he has attached himself
