velt gold pieces, advanced last week
from IS on the $50 pieces and
$3.50 on the 30, to sl2 on the s2O
pieces and s6 on the $40.
The reason for the premium is the
order issued by the treasury depart
ment to stop coming the gold pieces
for the reason that the designs are
such as to cause great Inconvenience
in the handling Of the money.
1t is reported by George Fl. King,
paying teller Of the Denver National
bank, who has studied the coin and
who has In his possession two for
which he was offered s4s. that the
Inconvenience is caused by the fact
that on the dies from which the coins
were cut the knee Of Liberty and the
wings of the flying eagle on the go
piece project 50 as to make stacking
Of the coins mpossible.
The coins now issued will be held
by the government when they find
their way back into the treasury de-
partment.
Besides seven of the $40 pieces
which were taken in trade by the
John Thompson Grocery company OF
Denver, 1T is believed the remainder
Of those which found their way to
Denver are in the possession Of OFF,
cials and attaches Of banks.

CARLYLE HAS OFFER
Said to Have Declined $40, 900
Year.

Professor w. L. Carlyle. dean of
the Agricultural college at Fort COL
lins, has been offered an annual sal
ary OF $40, 1000 by Claus Spreckels to
take charge of the agricultural de-
partment OF the University of Cali
fornia. Professor Carlyle refused the
offer because Of the pride he feels IN
the Colorado institution, which he
has helped to create, and because lie
thinks that In this state his life
work, that of creating the finest
breeds of horses and cattle in the
world, can most successfully be, car,
rt0d. out, ,gs@-a u -sszass ~ - -. ~
The dean's Fort Collins salary IL
only &3, 300, SO that he has sacrificed
for an ideal the annual sum of s6, 700.
Professor Carlyle, through earnest
work and ability, has won for him
self the distinction Of being the
greatest authority on live stock in
the United States.
Such was the appreciation of the
United States government of the
professors work that by special or
der 81 200 was added to his yearly
salary of S3, 800. This would have
made him fair return OF 81, 300.
But the state board, which has
charge of the agricultural school,
took advantage of the generosity OF
the government and cut down by
81, 900 what the state gave him, leav-
Ing his salary at the former figure.
Professor Carlyle has never com
planned. Denver Times.

ANOTHER PIONEER
I B. Mayfield Passed Away
\ Last Thursday Afternoon.

II b. Mayfield, Colorado pioneer,
Legislator and one of the best known
farmers In the southern part of Weld
cpunty, died at his home five miles
lnQrthwest of Fort Lupton last Thurs
day afternoon. The immediate cause
E0f death was heart and kidney trou.

about month. He was IA years of

b sof,Ss,icHed the Mayfield
H66ss, a famous hostelry on the road
to Central City Born in Maytield,
Ky, he early became subject to the
wanderlust and removed to Wayne
county, Illinois. There he married
Samantha Milner, at Cisna, H., and
the following year with their little
daughter, the couple crossed the
plans to what is now the city OF
Denver. When the rush to the gold
diggings at Central City carried a
large part of Denver's population to
that region, MIR. and Mrs. Maytield
moved there also and established
their hotel.
Since then Mr.. Mayheld has farmed
in various parts of the state, but
about ten years ago settled perma-
nently on farm near Fort Lupton.
Ten children we're the result of his
marriage, and but two of these and
his wife have passed away. Maytield

These are things that the succeas-
full farmers In the Greeley district
are familiar with. but there are
many who are not, and they are tho
the ones that should be INTERESTED
for their own benefit. 1t doesn't
matter much what kind of soil 'you
have, II given the right treatment tt
will make you good returns. TFss
communication with the the teachess
at the Agricultural college will pus
you on tue right track. They ass
interested In your case, and Will
help you out Of your difnculty.
One thing that many farmers here
overlook. the necessity Of feeding
considerable stock IN their fsrms.
in order to keep the places In the
very hest condition.
We don't need to think that our
soil will hold out any longer than
will Illinois soil, unless 1t gets .
square deal. Careful experiments
by scientists show that the soil Of
this country IL impoverished at the
AoVS OA q pei OOuU . y004 ~ SAVRs
Unless that same amount 10 put
back into the soil you can figure
tor yourself how long 1t will be
before your farm will be insolvsnt.
IT, doesn't mean, either, that you
can keep on farming the place for
fifty wears before 1t Is absolutely dead
Just run the same crop In piece of
ground for three or four years, and
you will hardly raise enough for seed
for the piece vt the end Of thss
period.
We want to arouse the interest of
the farmers more in this matter and
urge them to study the question. A
day spent in this study will pay them
better than the hardest days work
In the field.

THE Big STOCK SHOW
Western Exposition will Tell
Story of States Progress.

Present Indications are that the
Western Live Stock Exposition to be
held In Denver January 20 to IS
will be the biggest and best stock
tshow eyer held In the United. States
west of Chicago. Many of the big
exhibitors at the Chicago show will
ship their stock here to participate
in the prize events in the hope of
carrying away some of the lonors Of
the Centennial state shows.
Stock growers and feeders of the
entire world were astonished at the
excellence Of Coloradns showing at
the Chicago show, it having been
for some time the general belief that
Colorado's live stock was entirely of
the range, and therefore unable TO
compete with the stock of the east
ern raisers and feeders. That is
the belief no longer.
Scores of exhibits from the best
stock farms In the land will b
present at the stock show, and there
will also be exhibits of feeds and
grasses. The entire corps of the Ag-
ricultural college will be at the ex-
position,.and will demonstrate and
explain many features of stock rails
ing. The show will be one of the
big events of the year, and one which
will bring Colorado into national
fame.
The Colorado & Southern railroad,
in order to further this project, will
sell round trip tickets from all points
on its lines to Denver, one fare for
the round trip. These tickets will
be on sale January 10 and 20, and
will be good for the return trip up to
January 81.

The territorial road from Phoe- nix north past the Roosevelt dam Natural bridge. Montezuma castle to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon is a popular project. If it was constructed its value to the terri tory would be equal to a railroad and tend to disabuse the minds of many people who pass through ot the idea that Arizona was a howl ing wilderness and a desert.

Surprise Party.

Last Friday was the birthday of Miss Leslie Mayfower and it was the happy thought of some of her friends to give her surprise party, Mrs. Mayfower was taken into their confidence and she assisted in carrying out the plan, and making the surprise complete one. The game of "pennies" was introduced which proved to be most interest ing. Other games were played with much merriment. especially that old standby Wink. It is a wonder some of the "winkers" did not have sore "blinkers" as re- suit. During the evening delight ful refreshments were served. Miss Mayfower was the recipient of many good wishes, number of boxes of bon bons and other good things.

The coast is all right for a short time. but there are so many places of interest to see here that a summer slips by before you know it.
