The ponies got .most of the hand-claps
yesterday. The hackneys also came in
for applause. The ponies had two hours
to themselves. to the delight of the
children.
Society came somewhat late last
night, but by 10 o'clock the brilliant
scene was at it's height. Not only was
the attendance better. but the class OF
events in the arena was better and
more varied.

THE GAME YESTERDAY.

The defeat of the Palisade baseball
team by the Bloomer Girls is told of
as follows in today's Tribune:
The Star Bloomer Girls crossed
bats with a pickup nine from this
place yesterday afternoon on the dia-
mond near the Grand valley head
gate. The game as whole was very
common, our boys not having prac-
ticed together, and resulted in vic
tory for the Boomers by score of
eight to twelve.
The aggregation carries a profess
sional brass band of eight pieces
which keeps things lively and de-
tracts great deal from the very
punk plays made by some of the girls
on the diamond.
They will play the Junction nine

Two formidable lineups will face

BIG TROUT
IS CAUGHT

Ranger Duffy ov1ne down from Cot
tonwood lakes Saturday bringing one
of the largest trout eyer landed with
hook and line in Colorado, says to-
days Plateau Voice. 1t was a rain
bow trout about 80 inches in length
and weighing 15 pounds. The fish
was caught Friday by - gentleman
named Winnie, who, with another
gent, named Davis, has for some time
been pulling big trout from the Cot
tonwood lake in scientific manner.
This and other big fellows were
caught with a spoon hook and an air-
tomatic reel, the line and rod being
the same weight as one uses for brook
trout.
Ranger Duffy did not bring the en-
tire fish into town, but left it at his
ranch for the hay hands to sample.
However, he brought in slab about
8 inches thick, which weighed cou-
pie of pounds and looked like cross
section from a whale.
While here Mr.. Duny gave us a
history of this trout, or it's parentage
Fourteen years ago several cans of
Leadville hatchery and placed in this
lake. In later years the lake has
been restocked many times, but with
brook trout. 1t now has plenty of
the two varieties and is said to be
one of the best lakes for fishing on
the mesa.
1t first became known that the
rainbow had reached an enormous
size when dead one was found froz-
en- in the ice on the spillway, a few
seasons ago, which weighed II
pounds. 1t is now believed that the
Cottonwood has trout weighing over
20 pounds.
Cottonwood lake is one of the most
beautiful bodies of water in the state
1t is about 100 acres in area, clear as
crystal and has an unknown depth.
This lake, like many others of the
state, is of volcanic origin

MEN
GROW BEANS

The cultivation of beans gives
promise of proving one of the
most important features of the
farming industry of this valley,
as can be judged from the fol-
lowing most interesting state
ment taken from today's Fruita
Telegram:
Within the past two years Fruita
has added another source of produc-
tivity to her already long list of sta
pie products. Beans are now being
planted and grown in tracts from L
to 6 acres and include the American
White Navy and the Black Mexican
varieties.
A ride over the country recently
confirmed the fact that nearly 200
acres are planted in beans in this
vicinity. The beans net 500 per
acre, and 1t lis reasonable to suppose
that within the next two years we
will see big shipments go to the gem
eral outside from at least 900 acres
of Fruita beans, bringing in a local
revenue of 100000. Many fruit
growers plant beans between their
rows of apple trees.
Lester johnson, one of our most
prosperous farmers northeast of the
town. has 4 acres of beans pla ted
between rows of his apple trees.
which are in good stand and will
easily yield a ton to the acre, which,
at 500 per acre, will net the su N of
S4OO grown between the rows cf the
apple trees.

NEW zEALANp's WHITE ISLAND.
Always Enveloped in Clouds of Steam
d. its Strange Lakes,

Always Enveloped in Clouds of Steam
..s. Its Strange Lakes.
White island derives it's name from
the clouds of white steam in which it
appears to be continually enveloped.
Its area is only 600 acres, and its
height about 800 feet above the sea
level.
In form and color it is like re-
posing camel, while it's interior with
its gray, weather-beaten, almost per-
pendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum
at Rome. Overhanging the southern
landing place stands a column OF rock
closely resembling a sentinel, which
has been dedicated to the memory OF
Capt. Cook: The water on the island
is of pale green hue, and anything
dipped into it becomes Of red brick
color. The fumes OF sulphur are al
ways plainly percept;ble.
On a fine moonlight night won
derful sight is afforded to any one
who will sit in an open boat In one
of the lakes Of the island. Covering
an area of fifty acres is an immense
caldron Kissing and snorting and send
ing forth volumes of poisonous steam.
while all chances Of egress appear to
be denied by the steep, silent and
gloomy cliffs. - e

meal did not begin until 8 o'clock.
When they at last rose from the
table and went to their rooms, Lord
Clanwilliam flung open his window
and saw the haymakers coming into
the field. II wonder" he thought,
what hour they begin work." and on
consulting his watch he found it was
