Land Claims and Grazing Permits.

Washington.-Chief Forester Pin.
chot in his annual report says that al.
though lands within national forests
are withdrawn from all forms of entry
or filing except under the mining laws
and the agricultural settlement act of
June IL, 1906, many claims are valid
because initiated prior to the creation
of the national forests All alleged
claims must be examined and reported
upon in order that the commissioner
Of the General Land Office may be in.
formed IL there appears to be any rea-
son why patent should not issue.
Reports on 2.473 claims inside ma.
tional forest boundaries were received
from examiners. OF this number 1903
mining, 700 homestead, SO desert land,
AZ timber and stone and 29 miscella-
neous claims were transmitted to the
General Land Office for final action;
200 mining, 100 homestead, 10 desert
land and % timber and stone claims
were held for further report and 215
required no action.
The General Land Ofice ordered 81
hearings on recommendations OF the
forest service that claims be rejected.
The average number of cattle and
horses grazed under each permit was
81 head and the average number of
sheep 1.74s. This shows conclusively,
says the report. that the small owners
have preference in the use OF the ma,
tional forest ranges.
The total receipts on account of the
above permits were $s57.S57S3.
Only eight per cent. Of the applicants
failed to pay the grazing fees and to ac-
cept the permits applied for, and with.
out doubt many of these will accept
their permits before the close of the
season. This is exactly the same per.
centage as last year.

MIIe-a-Minute Balloon.

Washington.-Peter Cooper Hewitt
of New York, electrical engineer and
inventor of the hydro-plane slSimming
boat, intends to build dirigible bal
loon for the government which will be
more powerful as fighting machine
than anything now under considera-
tion by the War Department.
He will build the balloon at his own
expense, the machine to be bought by
the government If satisfactory
Mr.. Hewitt will be aided in his work
by Miller Reese Hutchinson. Both
have received encouragement from
President Roosevelt and the War De-
partment.
The dirigible Mr.. Hewitt expects to
build will be worth from $4,000 to
100000, and will probably make a
speed of sixty miles an hour. Plans
submitted to the signal corps by Mr.
Hewitt have been approved by dirigible
experts.
His proposal is especially welcome
to the signal corps, because no appro-
priation for dirigibles will be made by
Congress this year.

r4rm.Hs FORMING A UNION.
Equity Society Pushes Its Organization
In Colorado.


Denver. - Colorado farmers have
taken up national movement-fo or
ganization and within the last two
months 5000 have enrolled themselves
in the Farmers Equity Scciety-a
farmers union, says the Denver Re-
publican. Union labor seems to be
reaching cut and tying up with two ex-
tremes in the state. Recent evidences
have been advanced where one union
formed a compact with a trust and now
the whole power Of organized labor in
Colorado proposes combination with
the farmers. Any old alliance to win,
seems to be the motto, and already
there is talk of the farmers and labor
ers going to the polls together.
Yet the American Federation Of La
Dor has several times refused to issue
charter to the Farmers Equity So
ciety, although that body has applied
for one. The A. F. of l.. has accepted
the advances of the society, but has
not admitted 1t to the laboring ranks
for the reason that there are a great
number of farmers in it who own their
own farms and are therefore to be
classed with the capitalists.
In Boulder, Weld and Jefferson coun-
ties the movement has become large
and within the next sixty days con-
vention will be held at Golden where
the labor ranks will be one Of the prtn-
cipal topics Of discussion.
1t has been asked what the two
bodies have in common. This was an
swered by Max Morris, fourth vice.
president of the American Federation
of Labor last night, who said that the
ultimate object is to sell the product
of the producer ~ the consumer direct.
1t is said that the society intends to
establish distributing points where the
middleman may secure goods and sell
at retail without being forced to pay
extortionate rates to trusts. 1t is one
plan for the abolition of trusts-the
most ambitious trust-busting scheme
that has been devised for many years.
Necessarily, this plan will require
years to work out. At least the trusts
have not displayed a great deal Of con-
cern yet.
The society of farmers has, it is said,
a membership Of over ] 100000 persons.
and is very strong in Texas and Okla
homa. AS political power it has
great promises.
Since its inception two years ago it
has sent fraternal delegates to the A.
F. of l.. conventions. where they are
given a voice. Many central labor
bodies Of various cities have also ad-
mitted the farmers to membership and
it is possible that a closer amalgama-
tion may be effected in Colorado. Mr..
Morris would not commit himself on
what attitude labor leaders of the state
take toward such union, but said that
the principal bodies of centralized la
Dor wou1 have delegates at the con-
venticn in Golden. The society has
been working here through local execu-
tive committees, drumming farmers
association seems to be more for politi-
into line. Farm hands as well as own
ers are said to be admissible to mem
bership. At present the object Of the
cal purposes than anything else.

Shot BY HoId-Up.

Pueblo.-In the boldest holdup that
ever occurred in this city, Joe Russ,
q young Austrian, was shot dead and
six Of his countrymen routed by a
lone highwayman at ten o'clock Sun
day night.
The hoidup. with its fatal results, is
rendered all the more tragic by the
fact that Russ, after long, hard labor,
had Just succeeded In laying by suffi.
cient funds to take him back to his
young wife and child in the old coun-
try and that he had already written
them that he would leave for home
next week.
The affair occurred under the bridge
across Santa Fe street and near the
Eiler smelter. The Austrians were re-
turning home from town when the
bandit stepped out Of the shadow and
ordered them, Hold up your hands!"
Instead Of complying with his request
or rushing upon him, the seven, all Of
whom are big, stalwart smelter work
ers, frightened by the bandits gun
fed.
Seeing that his commands were not
obey ed, the man shot-once. some Of
the Austrians say; five times, others
affrm. One Of the bullets struck Russ
In the back. passing through his heart
and killing him instantly The high
wayman escaped.

Armored Automobiles.

Denver.-Battleship Of the highway,
armored cruisers of the interior-these
are the strange fighting machines that
have Just been purchased by Charles
w. Howbert for the Cieneguita COM
pany for use in carrying samples and
minerals for the mines of the COM
pany, near Sonora, Mexico, past the
dangerous bands of Yaqui Indians who
have been infesting the vicinity OF the
mines and even, 1t is said, imperiling
the lives of those entrusted with the
conveyance of the valuable minerals.
The machines are nothing but huge
automobiles capable of carrying
twenty-five armed men, and barricaded
with steel plates. It is said that each

"And." interrupted the official ad-
dressed, who had just been promoted,

To the Boys and Girls Of the Colorado
Patterson Seed Competition Club.
My Dear Boys and Girls:-I have
just completed the crop report of your
work for 1907. 1t Is encouraging, for
1t shows progress. regret to say that
some Of our members have not yet
threshed, and 1 must send this letter
without their report being completed.
Some yet to report, will win a prize,
which I shall take pleasure in sending
to them as soon as they send me the
pound sample of the threshed grain
and the total number of pounds
threshed from their measured acre
of grain.
The total number of points for each
compotitor was determined on the
same basis as last year Multiplied
the weight of grain in the hundred
head sample by 25, to which was
added the weight of 1000 kernels
multiplied by 25. The grade Or quail
ity was determined on basis of 1 900
points for perfect grade. The yield
of pounds per acre gave the number
of points for the competitor. Adding
the poinrs won by the 100 head sam
pie, the quality grade and points won
by yield per acre, we have the total
number Of points won by the competi-
tor with each particular grain.
The following are the winners as far
as the report can now be made:

To XIII Wild Horses.

Reno. Nev.-The forestry depart.

to kill on sight all wild horses found
on the government domain. There are
about $4,000 wild horses on the ye-
serves. They are doing much damage
to vegetation and attracting domestic
animals to their herds. In the opinion
OF Attorney General Stoddard, the for

A most remarkable thing occurred
in Denver the other day when a man
was discovered actually trying to sell

Is, he was making a house to house

Field and Farm.
An orchard neglected while young
will, at Its best, be only a second-class
orchard. To get the young orchard
started right is important. The aver
age man justly feels that he must
economize in starting the young or
chard, and too often economy leads to
neglect. Though the process of rear
ing the orchard to q productive stage
10 an expensive one, 1t is worth doing
we'll. The buying of poor trees, care
less preparation of the land for plant
ing, or lack of care after planting, is
poor economy. The productive and
profitable old orchard is the one
grown well while young.

THE MASCOT" IS To Be
ALL-sTAR PRODUCTION

Tomorrow 1.-THE Mascot" will be pre-
promises to be a record audience.
It will then be seen how well ''The
Mascot will fulfil all that has been
promised of it.
Mrs. Crook has now regained her
splendid voice and will be heard to
great advantage in the Forthcoming
production.
Mrs. Crook, so well and favorably
known to Honolulu theater-goers in the
past. will, if possible, only add to her
already enviable reputation, in her
rendition of the part of Bettfna Mrs.
Crooks splendid voice will be heard
to great advantage in several charm
ing solos and duets, and whilst her
voice will charm the ear, her con.
manding stage presence will please the
eye.
Mrs. Herzer, as the Princess Fiamet-
ia, is going to meet with a stunning
success. Her action on the stage is
most fetching and her voice which she
controls most excelient1y has a pecu-
liarIy pleasing effect. Without a doubt
the audience will be in sympathy with
Fiametta throughout the three acts.
Mr.. Jas. D. Dougherty, as Prince
Frederic, will add fresh laurels to his
already long list of successes.
His rendition of the role is splendid,
and his pleasing voice will be heard
with much pleasure in many solos. He
will undoubtedly make a hit in the rem
dition of Longing" by Mrs Carrie
Jacobs-Bond.
Mr.. Hugo HerZer, upon whose shoul-
ders rests THE Mascot in addition to
producing this opera, is taking the
leading part of Pippo, and taking it in
such a manner as to call for the high
est praise. Mr.. Herzer's well known
ability needs no further comment It
need only be added that those who
have seen him in other roles will make
ii a point TO see him again, and then
some more.
Sonny" Cunha, as Rocco, is as good
as ever. Everybody knows what that
means. The ever popular Sonny is
as great a favorite on the stage as he
is off. and in THE Mascot he has a
hamper fun of good things for his hosts
of friends.
Mr. NJ. H. Webb ably seconds "son-
n.y. in the fun department, and as
Lorenzo XXIIT viii keep the audience
continually happy.
Mr.. Herzer has undoubtedly obtain
ed a particularly strong list of prin-
cipals. which, backed up by an excep-
tionally good chorus, forms a cast of
