of nature the evidence of bubbling
springs on the summit. has

caesarean Operation on Cow.

Aremarkable operation wasp err
formed by DR.. Rudolph last
Tuesday with still more remark
able results. He removed by a
Caesarean operation, through the
side of large red COW belonging
TO o. B. Coakley, two normally
developed calves, their peculiar
abnormal attachment making a
birth in the usual manner impos-
sible. These calves were grown
together from the throat back
ward along the central line of the
chest, a distance of about four
teen inches. Mr.. Coakley sent
the skins to Glenwood Springs
where an expert taxidermist will
mount them.
The COW on which DIR. Rudolph
performed this unusual operation
seems to be quite bright and ap-
pears to have a good chance for
recovery.-Plateau Voice.
This operation is a very rare
one, resorted to by surgeons up
on human subjects only in the
most desperate and important
cases. DIR. G. w. Rudolph. the
veterinary surgeon referred to,
was formerly resident of Paonia.
This operation will doubtless add
much to his reputation as a
surgeon.

AT the close OF our Civil war we
owed about 5000, 100000 In
the % or 80 years following that.
we paid two thirds of that debt.
Since then. although during the
last 10 years we have had unrx-
ampled prosperity. we. have not
paid a dollar. and We owe today.
as we did at the end OF the Span
ish war. $1,000, 100000

Topped down on her arms
Might slip or break and cause mishaps,

COW GIVEN NEW NAME.
Is Known as MCKINLEY Moose In
Parts Of Alaska.


During President McKinleys ad.
ministration a party OF government
employees were. establishing tele-
graphic communication from Valdez,
Alaska, to points inland. Owing to the
remoteness Of the new, untamed coun-
try, supplies were hard to obtain, and
the party, wisely or unwisely, con.
celved the idea OF transporting an or.
dinary milk COW which was to accom-
pany them en- route. About every %
or 30 miles there was a station, and
during the progress of the work the
COW travelled with the men up and
down the line.
The Siwash Indians had never seen
such an extraordinary creature, the
nearest approach TO It being their ma.
tive cow-moose. They gathered from
far and near, and asked all manner OF
questions In regard to this strange and
wonderful animal. Where you come
from? Who your chief?" were the
first questions.
Mckinley is our chief" was the
answer.
The Indians, conceiting that Nc
Kinley owned all things, departed to
tell their brothers and sisters and
grandmothers, who in turn came to
see the remarkable cow-the NC
Kinley moose" they named 1t. The
white man took It up. SO the name has
