Roosevelt's Name. Applauded.
Senator Burrows opening words
were spoken in a EaeGulated but dis,
tinct tone. He oonsta, tly referred to
the printed copy :; his speech. He
had been speaking about six minutes
when he came to tie first mention OF
President Roosevelt. He evidently
felt just a li..tle excited over the men.
ton of the president, .@r he had some
little difficulty in proaoancing the well
known name. After several efforts he
succeeded and at once a demonstra.
ton began. The cheering lasted near
ly two minutes. Senator Burrows, in
resuming, mentioned Fairbanks name
and there was a round of applause.
Applause greeted the u%tterances ap'
proving President Ro~osevelt's policy
in relation to public lands and an addi.
tional handclapping followed the sen.
ator's expressed regret that the ship
subsidy had failed. The mention OF
Elihu Root as that matchless secre.
tary of state" brought the New York.
ers to their feet with cheers and wav.
ing flags and handkerchiefs.
The struggle that is going OF over
the adoption of an anti-injunction
plank found a place in the days pro.
ceedings when an outburst of tumultu.
Gus cheering greeted Senator Burrows
declaration that: "The Republican
party has nc sympathy with the spirit
which would divest the courts of their
constitutional powers or impeach their
integrity.
The demonstration was probably the
most enthusiastic of the session and
was repeated when a little further on
in his speech Senator Burrows spoke
of the refuge which always could be
found in the supreme judiciary.

the hall we're able to hear his adj.

came weaker and very few of the
thousands in attendance could catch
his words. When he concluded the
roll call of states for the announces
ment Of committee members was
called for, but many in the audience
had no time for this routine procedure
and started to leave the hall. Before
half the. states had been called a mo
tion carried to hand the printed slips
containing the names to the secretary
and the convention adjourned for ths
day.

ed by getting rid Of what he does not
want. There were cut from the ma
tional forests during the last fiscal
year the equivalent Of a little over
2S0,O00,O0O board feet Of timber. This
involved cutting operations on slightly
less than 100000 acres Of land, or
about one four-hundredths of the total
area of the governments forests. In
other words, hardly a beginning has
been, made in bringing the forests to
their highest productiveness through

operations under way. There is o
ey in the wood lot, and the average
farmer in awakening to this fact.

Against Oklahoma Agitation.
Business men and delegates from
commercial clubs met at Oklahoma
City to begin an active campaign
against further restrictive and radical
legislation. The chief address wa
made by President Simmons Of the
Simmons hardware combination Of St

railroads by showing how their cessa'

100000 men out of work. He said there
could be no general prosperity until
the railroads are able to participate.
He was against government owner

will give the trees good culture will
find both pleasure and profit in dwarfs.
In a commercial way the apples on
Paradise stocks have not been grown
extensively. enough to test them. 1t is
generally considered that they require
too much care to be profitable when
grown on a large scale. Some leading
fruit growers believe. however. that
the Doucin stock has great commercial
possibilities. 1t makes trees eighteen to
twenty feet high. They can be set from
a rod to twenty feet apart each way
and can be given the best of attention
owing to their moderate size.

The Fruit Patch.

The government horticulturist says
many persons with small lots may
plant what. are known as dwarf fruit
trees. In proportion to size dwarf
trees are more fruitful than stand
ards" They come into bearing sooner
and are therefore of special value for
use in limited Enclosures or fruit gar
dens. Besides the advantage Of dwarf
ing, grating may be turned to good
account, enabling the owner of trees
to increase his variety of fruits. Sin
gle trees have been made to bear as
many as $50 varieties of apples.
If you set out a fruit garden, take adj
vantage Of the space under and be-
tween the trees by planting strawber-
ries. blackberries, raspberries, cur-
rants or some other small fruit. Vege-
tables may also be planted about the
trees.

tinental plans he replied That every
youngster .has to have the measles
and whooping cough" implying that
he would go forward with his plans
later on. He pointed to the increased
earnings Of the Western Union as an
evidence Of better times ahead, but
complained that the political campaign
against the railroads had been fright
full in its effects. He said 1t had cost
the shareholders Of the Missouri Pa
ciac over 100000 last year, the d.
rect cause being a reduction in the
freight and passenger rates and an
increase In the operating expenses.
Gould said he was a great admirer Of
Taft, who had shown good Judgment
when on the bench.
AS to his family matters, he an

Beef Prices Still Higher.
The beef trust again has advanced
the price of meats to wholesalers to a
point one-third beyond the high mark
reached on June i. and retail prices are
higher than at any time in over ten
years. The scarcity Of cattle u.s. given
by the packers as the reason for the
latest advance. This is attributed to
the money panic. which prevented the
cattlemen and farmers from carrying
through the winter the usual number
of young animals. Then it is said that
farmers could not afford to feed the
corn to the cattle owing to the high
price that cereal brought during the
formation of the corner by Patten.

makers vet undertaken has been incor-

Short Course in FARMING,

Fort Collins.-The short course at
the State Agricultural college opened
Monday morning with cosmopolitan
gathering. Three races are repre-
sented, the red, white and yellow.
There are three Jicarillo Apaches
from Dulce, N. NJ, Japanese who is
attending the regular short course,
and nearly 100 of the dominant race,
and these are not all farmers, either.
Two prominent mining men of Den
yer are among the number-W. J. Nc
Connell and c. S. Newhall. Then
there is Meredith Bailey, Jr., a we'll
known ranchman of Fort Collins, DR..
Stevenson of Denver, Baptist Sun
day school missionary, State Senator
Ammons and d. l.. Stackfield of Little
ton.
The Indians are in charge of II. H.
Johnston, superintendent of the
Apache agencies, and are graduates of
the Indian school at Santa Fe. One
of these is known as the best sheen
raiser in Northern New Mexico. They
are registered as Edward Ladd, Grover
Vigil and John Mills, having adopted
American names in place of their pic.
turesque Indian cognomens.

Denver.-With several ugly sasnes
in his throat, cut by a razor. and faint
ing from loss OF blood, George Ernest
Armstrong stumbled into the home OF
his brother at 1860 Center street Tues
day night and declared his wife. Alice.
had tried to murder him because he
refused to roll her cigarette.
Apparently dying, Armstrong was
taken to the county hospital in the
police ambulance after Police Surgeon
McGillivray had temporarily dressed
his wounds. His recovery Is consid-
cred doubtful.
Police headquarters was notified by
Patrolman Anderson. and Detectives
Peterson and koehler were sent out
on the police ambulance.
They found Mrs. Armstrong had
ned, but half an hour later she was
found hiding in the brush on Colfax
avenue. She still clutched the blood
stained razor.
When taken to Jail she told an en-
tirely different story from that related
to the police by Armstrong.
81 am a hard-working woman, she
said, between sobs. 81 worked yester-
day from early morning until late last
evening, washing for people on Capitol
hill. AS usual, when l reached home
