Death Of A. e. MuIqueen.

Denver.-Yesterday afternoon at St
Joseph's hospital occurred the death OF
Hon. Andrew E. Mulqueen after an ex-
tended illness. He had been suffering
from complication of diseases, includ-
ing kidney trouble, and was brought
here some time ago from his home in
Aspen, and was built up in strength at
the hospital so that he withstood the
shock o fan operation very well. Later
a second operation was necessary to re-
lieve his suffering, and it was while he
was on the road to recovery that he
contracted cold, which developed into
pneumonia with fatal results.
Mr.. Mulqueen WAS a man Of fifty-one
years and is survived by wife and
two children, as well as brother and
sister. He was well known throughout
Colorado, having served in the Legis-
lature during 1866. At Aspen he was
engaged in the real estate and insur
ance business, together with numerous
projects, such as irrigation, etc. He
belonged to a number of fraternal or
ganizations, which gave him wide ac
quaintance. He was past exalted ruler
Of the Elks and belonged to the A. o.
U. W., Odd Fellows. Woodmen of the
World and Modern Woodmen.
He had been twenty-five years citi-
zen of Colorado and had been identified
with the carly growth OF Aspen. He
held various positions Of trust in that
city, being at one time assistant post
master and at another period county
clerk and recorder.

Steers at County Fairs.

In the classification for the last
Western Stock Show premiums were
offered on steers that had won first or
second premium at any county or state
fair. The idea of this classification
was to thus make a connection with
the county and state fair live stock ex-
hibitions, but to the surprise of the
managers OF the show there were but
few entries. Investigation developed
the fact that the county fairs as a rule
do not offer premiums on steers, con-
sequcntly would-be exhibitors were
barred from this class. Notwithstand-
Ing this fact the show association will
make the same classification for the
next chow and the county fair manage
ments throughout the state are urged
to make classification for steers SO
that the various localities may be
matched against each other at the next
stock show in Denver. No more inter-
esting class could be made at any
county fair. The fat steer is the COM
mercial end of stock growing and it is
fitting and right that in addition to the
breeding stock that the product be ex-
hibitcd. Ii stockmen through the state
would insist or even ask for this clas-
sification IT will undoubtedly be grant.

Sugar Factory for Delta.

Denver-A Delta dispatch Friday
night says: Citizens and business men
are dancing around a large bonfire at
the corner of Third and Main streets
tonight as the result of the news which
reached here by telegram from New
York this afternoon that Delta is to
have one of the finest sugar factories
in the state of Colorado.
The factory will cost nearly $780,
900, and is to be built by New York, st.
Louis and Kansas City capital.
For the last week M. J. Dunbar OF
New York, representing capitalists
from the three cities mentioned, has
been in Delta comforting with the Busi
ness lens association, which has been
working hard for the factory, and the
message today states that its efforts
have not been in vain.
The company back of the affair is
known as the Surety Sugar Land & Ir
rigation Company, and the telegram
stated that the company had put up Its
100000 bend as a guarantee that the
project will be carried out
The company is incorporated for 81,
100000, divided into 25,8O0 shares Of
500 a share. Work will be started
soon and the factory Is expected to BIZ
completed within about a year.
Delta has pledged 50-acre location
for the factory and must take $4,000
Of the capital stock. Six thousand acre

Miners Accept Tonopah Scale.

Goldfield, Nev.-Local No. 220 West
ern Federation of Miners, Thursday by
a referendum vote decided by a vote
of 455 to 25G to accept the Tonopah
scale of wages and declare the strik"
off as to those properties which will
pay the Tonopah scale.
Some days ago representatives of
thirteen different leases agreed to pay
the Tonopah scale, which is 80 cents
a day less than the former Goldfield
scale, but so cents more than the scale
recently adopted by the Mine Opera
tors Association.
The Mine Owners Association will
not grant the advance. The associa
tion companies include all the big
mines of the camp and against these
latter the strike is still in effect.
The miners Thursday elected an
ultra-conservative president by vote
of four 20 one against the radicals.
The vote does not call off the gen.
eral strike, as has been reported. 1t
affects only about seventeen leases and
smaller mines in the camp, the own
ers of which have agreed to pay $3.50
a day, or the same scale that 10 in ef-
feet at Tcnopah.
Within two or three days perhaps
100 federation men will return to work
under the new rules. The Consoli-
dated Mines Company is still under
the ban and several others as well who
stick for $500 day.
1t is said that the camp will continue
to be open, without formal recognition
of the federation by any of the opera
tors. The seventeen leasers and 9TH
ers have become dissatisfied with some
of the rules of the operators associa-
tion and have decided to get their men
back at work, although still refusing
to pay the IS scale.
The vote Thursday may be regard
ed as significant in that 1t opens the
way for fuller resumption of work. The
new head of the union is Ed. Stone,
formerly of Colorado.

Why Stock Require Salt.

The requirement that all cattle,
horses and sheep grazing under per-
nit on the National Forests be given
salt at frequent intervals is a regula-
tion which has been found to go a
long way in protecting the range and
conserving the forage crop.
Experience has been shown that the
want of salt makes stock restless. If
cattle and horses are not supplied as
they need it. they roam and wander,
haunting old sailing grounds used in
previous seasons, trampling the forage
plants instead of eating them, paving
the ground and in other ways injuring
the range. But if their cravings are
supplied, they scatter peacefully over
the pasture grounds and feed at their
leisure.
Salt is so necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range. that no flockmaster would think
of getting along without it. If sheep
do not receive their usual supply it is
only with great difficulty that they can
be held in bonds or kept in camp at
night. So far as sheep are concerned,
no regulation by law is really neces-
gary, because the owners for their own
convenience, will salt their f1ocks. But
cattle are not herded and the owners
might neglect to salt them if the reg
ulations were not strictly enforced
Stock on different ranges require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head Of
sheep would be from 1000 to 1900
pounds each year. For a like number
of cattle. from 5000 to 10000 pounds
year is required. Horses need less
than cattle.
Old hunters, in the days of the pio-
neers, knew that deer and buffalo
Travelled long distances to lick salt in
saline springs. The Blue Licks on
Lickingriver, in Kentucky, and a SIM
liar mineral spring on Elk river, in
West Virginia, were famous for the
herds of deer, buffalo and elk which
frequented them. The adjacent ground
was so deeply tramped that the marks
were to be seen many years after the
places ceased to be visited by these
animals.

BURNED CHILDREN BURIED.
Last Sad Rites for Victims Of Collin
wood School Fire.


Cleveland, O-Funeral PROFESSIONS
on Friday began to wend their way to-
ward the cemeteries, bearing the bat
tered and charred bodies Of some OF
the 167 children who perished in We'd
nesday mornings fire in the Lakeview
school, Collinwood.
From O'Clock in the morning until
dusk there was no cessation in the fu-
neral corteges. Those who had no
dead to mourn as personal loss stood
in the streets with barred heads as the
professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was that
of the three children of Janitor Hirter,
held Jointly with the services for three
other little ones. Mutterings against
the janitor could be heard about the
village as grief-crazed parents sought
an object upon which to wreak ven
geance. forgetting, as they did, that
Hirter himself was walking with
bowed head and broken heart behind
the biers CT three of his beloved.
A detail of police was placed about
the Hirter home when the hour for the
funeral came. Fully 500 persons had
gathered, but when the collins were
carried out the doorway the crowd
spread and opened the way for them
without protest or expression of hos
tility:
Altogether there were fifty burials
Friday and Saturday the gruesome task
was repeated. Sunday witnessed the
last of the Individual burials, and on
Monday the bodies of all those who are
unidentified were laid at rest with one
funeral.
Testimony, describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
given at the continued session of the
coroner's inquest. Stories Of heroism
on the part of the women teachers
were recited.
| f. P. Whitney, superintendent of the
Collinwood schools, stated his belief
that no fire department could have
done any effective work after the fire
had started.
Two of the teachers told OF their un-
availing attempts to open one of the
doors in the rear, which they said was
| locked
The inquest also developed the fact
that after the first crush at the door
it was beyond human possibility to aid
those whom the fire was devouring.
In statement Friday Chief Wallace
of the Cleveland fire department. after
an examination of the ruins of the Col
linwood school, said it was his opinion
that the loss of life would not have
been so great had there been no par
titions at the sides of the storm doors
at the rear entrance. Two feet eight
inches had been taken off either side
of the hall for the partitions. His eX-
animation developed that the doors
opened outward.
With the appropriation of s25,000 by
the Ohio Legislature and the funds SUBJ
scribed locally there will be plenty of
| financial relief for the stricken fami-
/ lies.

cottonIess cottonwoods.

Many people object to cottonwood
trees on account of the cotton. But
this can be overcome. Only the pistil-
late trees bear cotton. Nurseries now
propagate by cuttings made from stam-
mate (male) trees only. These they
sell as "cottonless cottonwoods." Any
one else can do the same. Mark the
trees that are "cottonless," take your
cuttings from those only and you will
be sure to have ."cottonless cotton
woods" The Carolina poplar is only
n variety of cottonwood and would not
be cottonless were not this same pre-
caution taken in propagating it.

the mountain side. The slide carried
away a part of the ore bins and shaft
house of the Aurora Mining Company,

feet of a cabin in which half dozen
miners were sleeping. The men were
awakened by the roar and rushed from
their beds. They knew from the sound

Remarkable List of Prizes Offered by
International Congress.

Washington.-Thec central committee
Of the International congress on tuber-
culOsiS has announced the offer OF the
following prizes:
1. A prize of 81 900 is offered for the
best evidence OF effective work in the
prevention or relief of tuberculosis by
any voluntary association since the
last International congress in 1905.
2. A prize of 81 600 is offered for
the best exhibit of an existing sana'
torium for the treatment of curable
cases of tuberculosis among the work
ing classes.
). A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of furnished house,
for family or group of families of
wage-earuers designed in the interest
of the crusade against tuberculosis. In
addition tC the prize of 81 900, two gold
medals and three silver medals will be
awarded The prize and medals will
be accompanied by diplomas or certiti-
Gates of award. This prize is designed
to stimulate efforts towards securing
maximum of sunlight, ventilation,
proper heating, and general sanitary
arrangement for an inexpensive home.
A model of house and furnishing is re-
quired
4. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of a dispensary or
kindred institution for the treatment
of the tuberculous poor.
5. A prize of 81 900 is offered for
the best exhibit of a hospital for the
treatment of advanced pulmonary tu-
berculosis.
In addition to the 81 1000 prize in
each of the above cases, two gold
medals and three silver medals will
be awarded.
The Hodgkins fund prize of $500
is offered by the Smithsonian institu-
ton for the best treatise that may be
submitted on The Relation of Atmos-
pheric Air to tuberculosis"
The detailed definition of this prize
may be obtained from the secretary
general of the international society or
secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, Charles d. Walcott.
A gold medal and two silver medals
are offered for the best exhibits sent
in by any states of the United States,
illustrating effective organization for
the restriction of tuberculosis.
| In the list of prizes, attention is
about equally divided between meas
ures for the care or relief of sufferers
from the white plague" and those
concerned primarily with the preven'
tion of the disease. 1t has taken a
long time for civilized people to find
out that the principal ground on which
the battle against tuberculosis is
/ fought is in the homes. 1t has been
much easier to accept scientific discov-
cries than to face the every day fact
that dirt, dampneSS darkness, vice and
privation are the strongest allies that
tuberculosis has. The records of the
visiting nurses, and the maps of lung
blocks" give all the positive evidence
needed on this score.

Mare. For Experiment Station.

Dean Carlyle of the Agricultural
College will leave for the East within
short time to join Professor Curtiss
of Iowa and Expert Rummel Of the De-
partment of Agriculture and the three
acting as a committee will select a
government experiment stud at Fort
Collins. The appropriation for this
purpose is only $4,000, and it is prob
able that it will not go far in purchas-
ing the kind of mares that Carlyle
wants.
The horse experiment station al
Fort Collins has been in operation now
for about three years and results al
ready obtained indicate the complete
success of the experiment. There are
now some forty odd colts on the farm
and some of them are wonders. In
the beginning there was fear of two
things: First, that Carmon, the stall
lion, would not prove prepotent enough
to reproduce himself, and second, that
it would be impossible to secure the
size and weight wanted without sac
rifice of quality and finish. Both of
these fears have proven groundless.
Every colt in the bunch shows the
unmistakable stamp of the sire and
the climate and food have produced
the size and weight without any ap-
parent loss of quality. beauty and fin
ish.
The training of the older colts has
already commenced and they are max
ing fine progress. The addition of a
few fine mares will add very greatly
to the value of the experiment.
The establishment of type of Am
erican carriage horses was an expert
ment that was regarded with much
doubt by the horsemen of the country
but those who have seen the results
thus far obtained are enthusiastic and
in the minds of those who have been
watching Carlyle's work there is no
longer any doubt but that the new type
will be established and that it will be
popular with the people.-Record-
