Business Is Better.

f. G. Dun Co. s weekly review Of
trade for last week says:
more manufacturing plants have
resumed, aud money is abundant at
easy term, but business feels the
weakened purchasing power of the
thousands still unemployed. Buyers
arrived in large numbers In the local
jobDing dry goods market, placing
fair orders at the lower urlres named
on some lines and this larHard busi-
ness was also liberal al ouher large
centers.
Mercantile collections continue
to Improve, although still backward
at many points.
Industrial news was slightly
more encouraging on the whole, but
there Is much idle machinery and
the coal output has been curtailet
on that account, together with tn,

An Interstate Fair.

Colorado is to have an Interstate
fair for the exhibition Of its re-
sources. The first annual exposition
will be held September to u, 1908,
under the management of the Colo
RADIO Industrial Exposition associa-
tion at Overland Park, Denver.
which is being converted into one Of
the most extensive and complete fair
grounds In the country at an expen-
diture OF sl5O,OOO. In discussing
the scope of this fair, Mr.. G. e.
Slubbs, president Of the exposition
association. has the following to say
1t Is almost impossible to realize
the far-reaching influence Of an In
terstate fair that Is properly con-
Quoted. 1t alievtates that prejudice
which sometimes exists bet "een the
city and the country, as all will be
working for that common end, which
is to Stimulate every industry In our
state and to broaden and Improve
our markets. The farmer knows
that while the general business OF
Denver will be improved, his own
gam is at least tenfold.
~ Will, OF course, require time
AID the expenditure OF large sum
OF mn,ey to complete our plans, but
rh-'e must be beginning to every
'nportant undertaking. therefore We
nave decided to hold our 6rst fall
and exposition early In September o.

WANT INSPECTION
Milk and Heat Supply to b
Made Pure.

MIX and meat inspection was the
topic receiving the greatest anosnt
|of time and attention at the
monthly meeting and banquet Of
the Commercial club held at the
Camfield hotel last Monday evening.
DR.. George Glover, head of the
veterinarian department at the State
Agricultural college. was present
and gave the principal talk of the
evening on this matter. He told
what had been done in Fort Collins,
and also the need of inspection all
over the state, calling attention to
the rapid increase of tuberculosis in
cattle, both dairy and beef.
DR.. Robert Fl. Bird Of this city
spoke along the same lines. Alder
man w. c. Wilson of the city
council told what the city had already
done toward securing pure milk
supply. DR.. G. A. Ringle read .
resolution adopted BY the Weld
County Medical society favoring the
establishment of q milk and meat
inspection system in Greeley.
Other speakers on this subject
we're W. L CLAYTON and Rev d. d.
Forward. A motion was passed for
the president of the club to appoint
a committee of three to confer with
the city council on behalf OF suit
able ordinance providing inspection
of the two articles mentioned.
Following is the resolution passed
by the medical society and read at
this meeting:
Resolved, That it is the voice
and sentiment Of the Weld County
Medical associations, that In view Of
the we'll known fact, that diseases
affecting domestic animals (tubercu-
losis in particularly, are on the In
crease, and on account Of the COM
municability of the same to the hu-
man family having been ascertained
by modern scientific research, and
as other communities in northern
Colorado are about to, or have a.
ready, taken steps to protect the
consumers of animal food supply, It
is Of paramount Importance in the
interest of public health that we
lend our fullest endeavor to the sup
port of any movement toward inaug-
urating system Of meat and milk
inspection In the city of Greeley and
its vicinity, which shall serve to ade-
quately protect the public against the
sale or use of such diseased products. :"

WAR NOW ON
A HOT ONE IN PROGRESS IN
GREELEY.
Moving Picture Show Men Hav-
ing Jolly Row Over Control
of the Business in
This City.

Greeley has theatrical war on,
fierce and furious. 1t all comes out
of the moving picture show business.
This is the story As it is being told
In fragments about the streets and
as confirmed, at least, in some par
ticulars.
Joe Goshert. hustling young
man who started the electric theater
over Allan's laundry, has beeu doing
an excellent business by running .
nice, clean little show, and keeping
the place In the best of order. So
good has business been with him
that 1t Is said he has been able to
salt away q, 600 In the banks in the
few months that the place has been
running. This story reached the
ears of C. w. Beer, one of the prin-
cipai owners of the building, and his
latent cupidity is supposed to have
been aroaed. Goshert was paying
about $50 4 month or e720 year for
rent, but this was nothing like the
q, 600 for even shorter period. The
result was that Beer decided to 20
into the moving picture business
10 his own building Accordingly
he sent his son, Charles ]. Beer, to
Denver for . week to learn the bus

newed at the old price, Beer asking
s75 a month, thinking that this
would scare the young man out. 1t
didn't, however, for he came up to
the scratch with the S75. 1t then
developed that it wasn't the extra
rent that Beer wanted but the build
ing. Goshert insisted, however. that
he was entitled to the room because
of the offer of the money, and appar-
ently he made this stick for thirty
days Then Beer had the building
condemned by the mayor because it
did not comply with the building or
dinance governing places Of public
gatherings. That shut Goshert out
of giving shows there, and he con-
scientiously put up sign to the
effect that the building had been
condemned as unsafe and no more
shows could be given there. When
Beer discovered this sign. he dropped
his temper and almost broke it on
the sidewalk, because he was expect
ing to put up an outside stairway
and start in business right away and
such notice would naturally hurt
business.
Meantime Goshert had secured a
lease on the building just vacated
by the Farmers Supply & Machinery
company. and will have the interior
remodeled and his show put on there
on the ground floor. Also, he is
fighting to hold the Beer building
for the thirty days.
Now Beer Is threatening to put on
a free show Tor six monhs, as soon as
he can overcome the thirty-day en-
tanglement, and get his building re-
modelled to comply with the ordi
nance to which he himself called the
attention of the mayor.
Taking it all together, and all
parties to the theatrical war are
willing to admit, that the whole
thing conforms closely to Sherman IS
definition of different kind of war.

THE WEATHER IN LOUISIANA.

Our advices from the country this week
indicate the advent of needed ~rainfalls
throughout the western part of our sugar
territory, where the dry weather was becom-
ing serious. While the precipitation enjoyed
may not have been quite sufficient for the
requirements of some of the driest sections.
it has materially helped the situation and
will promote the growth of the cane on those
places where the cool, dry weather so long
prevailing had brought it to a s and still.
The greater portion of the sugar district has
not suffered materially from drought. and
the crop, under the influence of the warm,
moist weather, is progressing in a rapid
and satisfactory way throughout the great
or portion Of our sugar territory.
Planter3 10th Nay.

I carefully examined a large number of
buildings in Kingston, which is a brick
town, to ascertain the line or direction, and
the sense in which wallis had fallen. The
town is laid out r~ectangularly, houses facing
the four cardinal points, and in the detach-
ed houses east-ard-west facing, outer walls
generally fell, while the fall OF north and
south-facing walls was an exception except
in the area of greatest damage. Of the
east.-and west-facing walls many more fell
to the east than to the west. In the neigh
bourhood of North Street, east of East
Street, which / examined III detail, l found
that of the north and south-faclng walls
more fell to the south than to the north.
Thus the walls tended to fall, in most cases
towards q little south Of lst, but in some
cases, q little north of west.
I consider that the fall Of these walls was
due to the action of the surface waves above
described in fitting the walls out of the per-
pendicular, first in one direction and Il en- in
the other, causing them to sway. II the
waves were short, as they appeared to be,
and as / think they were, the lower part OF
the wall was thrown very much out Of plumb
at each half-swin9, and a wave OF dlsplac9-
ment travelled up each vail so that 1T
became sfnuous in form and was subj cted
to ripping movement.
The mere rapid jarring vibration, which
was so marked % feature of the sef5at;ons of
the earthquake, probably had little effect in
overthrowing walls. The no~rth-and-south
facing wallis, which did not usually fall, were
equally exposed to this form of vibra-
tom, which seemed to como somewhtt
steeply from below. These walls were rock
ed lon9itndinally by the east-to-west or west
tn-east waves (instead Of sWaylnS transverse
ly), and the effect was to produce q double
system Of cracks, often going through the
whole thickness of the wall but not throwing
it out Of plumb. AS the wall returned west
ward from its eastward excursion, a crack
formed, owing 10 the want of tensile strength
in brickwork or masonry, the eastern end of
the wall being, SO to speak, left behind. On
the return vibration in an eastward direction,
q corresponding crack opened al the west
end, and these cracks often cross each other
diagonally, ns some Of my photographs show.
Walls III which cement mortar had been used
stood much better than those with only
lime-mortar. Kingston lime-mortar is gen,
orally Of poor quality. The dtfect of all
stone and brick-work, however, in respect to
earthquake shock, is want Of tensil" S rength,
hence the adj antage Of reinforcing concrete,
etc, by strips Of metal, which give a fibre to
materials otherwise too brittle. he disad-
vantage of extra height and top weight were,
Of course, abundantly in evidence. Any
departure from simplicity Of form usually
broaght about additional damage, Gothic
gable und classic cornice being almost equal
ly unsuitable in earthquake countries. In
face Of these restrictions it seems that
alchitects in earthquake countries must rely
mainly upon the skilful proportioning of
spaces for the production of artistic effect.

SUGAR CANE PAPER.
Louisiana Planters

It is said that Mr.. Bert de Lemarre, of
Trinidad, British West Indies, has succeeded
in the profitable manufacture of paper from
bagasse. We are somewhat skeptical of the
final result, but any way we copy from "The

rhymes that it has reprinted from the Eng
lish trade journal confectionery" in which
Mr.. de Lemarre's success is thus apostro-
phized. The poet says

URGES ADULT CHAUFFEURS
lie Roy Mark Says Children Driv-
inc Autos Endanger Lives.

The advisability of inserting in the
District automobile regulations pro-
vision to prevent incapable chauffeurs
from driving motor cars through the
streets of the city is contemplated by the
District Commissioners. In other cities,
it is declared, there are age limitations,
which prevent children and aged persons
from speeding over crowded streets in
machines of which they are likely at any
moment to lose control.
A communication was received by
Maj. Sylvester from LIE Roy Mark, of the
Colorado Building, some time ago, re-
questing that such provision be made.
Il have barely missed being run over
twice since that time," Mr.. Mark said
in letter to the Commissioners yester-
day, because the children in charge of
the cars were unable to control them"
The communication was referred to
Sergt., Plemmons, of the police force, who
suggested that no person under eighteen
should be allowed to drive motor car.
Commissioner West has referred the sug-
gestion to the District automobile board.

will Auto m o bilists Pay?

1t is being every where recognized that
the use of highways by automobiles con-
stitutes a new destructive agent, and
the most dangering of all. At a recent
meeting of the New Jersey Automobile
Club MIR. Hodgkiss, president of the
American Automobile association, made
reply to the complaint of road experts
that automobiles destroy the roads by
saying that in an advancing civilization
roads should be made to fit the traffic.
not the traffic to fit the roads. Governor
Fort of New j. rsey was also speaker
on that occasion, and he proposes q de-
partment of automobiles and motor cars
as part of the State government. The
main purpose of this department would
be to derive revenue from the automo-
bile habit, at least s200,00 year, and
this revenue should be devoted to the
repair and maintenance of roads. The
governor of New Jersey admits that if
automobiles destroy good roads then the
roads must be made better, but his
further contention is that if good roads
are to be made better To prevent their
destruction by automobiles, then the
automobiles must pay for the betterment.
In other words, the destructive agent
must bear the responsibility. 1t will be
interesting to watch whether Governor
Forts program is accepted by his State.
