Sheepmen Make Big Profit.

Not withstanding the financial
furry and the consequent drop in
prices, especially in the live stock
market, San Luis valley sheep
feeders are realizing substantial
profit on their shipments.
Early in the season the outlook
certainly was gloomy; many of the
sheepmen had paid as much for
their lambs off the range as fat
stock was selling for in the eastern
markets. The feeders were GER
tainly up against it, They didn't
see how it was possible for them
to break even to say nothing of
making profit on their time and
labor.
They bent all their energies,
however, toward putting as much
extra flesh on their lambs as pos
sible. thinking that the profit, if
any was made, must come from
the gain in weight of the lambs
rather than the difference between
the buying and selling price,
which has been depended upon,
and oftentimes unwisely, hereto
fore. The result is that the lambs
that are now being shipped out of
the valley are of a quality far SUI
perior to any that have been pro-
duced in former years and easily
command the top prices. A gain
of so per cent in weight is report
ed by one feeder and from what
we can learn this is not unusual
this year. The market, too, has
been, and is now, steadily rising.
Taking these things into consid
eration, it is easy to see why the
feeders are all making a profit of
from two to three thousand dollars
per quarter section from their peas
whereas earlier in the season they
despaired of getting a cent for
their crop and seasons work and
would have considered themselves
lucky if they did not actually lose
money.
There is money in fattening
lambs in the San Luis valley no
matter how reverse the conditions.

ALamentable Affair.

n. NJ. Lowther of Alamosa, CLERK
in the office of Supt. W. d, Lee Of
the D. & R. G. R'y of that place
was shot and perhaps fatally wound
ed by Glenn Holbrook, the son OF
Hon. G. c. Holbrork, judge of this
district.
This is most lamentable affair,
owing to the prominence of the
parties and the circumstances sur
rounding the shooting. 1t seems
that Mr.. Lowther, being away from
home, returned unexpectedly and
finding his house locked, broke in
the door and was confronted by
Holbrook who was visiting in the
house. Mistaking him for burg
lar. Holbrook fred five shots which
were returned by Lowther, only one
of the ten taking effect as above
stated.
After the shooting Lowther sue
ceeded in walking to the store of
Sundquist Bros, where he col
lapsed. Medical aid was at once
summoned and all possible was
done to relieve his suffering, DIR.
Orr being in constant attendance.
Holbrook at once proceeded to
the office of District Attorney j.
d. Pitcher and gave himself up.
He was taken to the county Jail at
Conejos this morning to await the
outcome. Lowther's condition is
very precarious and small chance
is favorable to recovery.

HOUSE OF PRECIOUS VIEWS
Peculiar Phrase In Cuban Advertise ment Which Proved Puzzling
 to the American.

An advertisement in a Havana newspaper of house for sale or to let enumerates among other of it's desirable features "two precious views"
 That phrase puzzled an Ameri- can for some time, until he learned that the word was derived from the Spanish word precioso, favorite in describing something delicate or rare, but hardly precious in the sense of valuable. The advertiser, how ever, had insisted that the descrip- tive word should be done in that way.
 Advertisement in the English lan- guage is strong point in Cuba, es- pecially with the saloon keepers. One rather obscure shop in corner of Santiago bursts out of mass of Spanish lettering with the follow ing: Renowned for Cocktails"

CHARACTERISTIC EXPRESSIONS.

A photographer gives the follow ing directions to his customers: "When lady sitting for picture would compose her mouth to bland and serene character she should just before entering the room, say broom and keep the expression into which the mouth subsidies until the desired effect in the camera is evi- dent If, on the other hand, she wishes to assume a distinguished and somewhat noble bearing, not sug- gestive of sweetness, she should say 'brush,' the result of which is infal- lible. If she wishes to make her mouth look small, she must say flip but if her mouth is already too small and needs enlarging, she must say 'cabbage.'"

CHAMPAGNE FROM sPoNGEs.

'The champagne makers of Reims buy lot of our sponges," said a wholesale dealer "They squeeze champagne out of them. They must squeeze, in the years course, 1,000,- 900 bottles of champagne out of sponges. Mystifed, aren't you?
 "But there is no mystery about the matter. Champagne, is it fer ments, is powerful stuff; it breaks the strongest bottles, and in the past all the champagne that broke its bottles and escaped was lost.
 "Now, though, they pack the champagne bottles in clean sponge. and every day or two they go over the plant and, if any of the bottles have broken, they squeeze into casks the wine that the sponges have re- tained.
 "This wine, reclarifed, refined and bottled again, makes a very good second quality drink"

Lemons In Crawford.

It has been successfully demonstrat- cd that lemons can be grown in Craw- ford county, the home of the fruit growing industry of Arkansas, and that in size they excel those grown anywhere in the world. Miss Coch- rane of Van Buren, had three-year- old tree from which one matured lem on was picked last year. Recently a fully ripened lemon dropped from the tree. It weighed just one pound and measured 13 1-2 inches one way and 13 the other. The fruit was well formed and possessed a fine flavor. The tree has one more lemon on it and this one promises to mature in due time.

Senator Clarke has not been invit- ed to attend or address this con- vention, and the men who will at tend, coming from towns all along the river, mean business. An ef- fort will be made to purchase a boat of much power, but light draught, at once, and let it bring coal down from Fort Smith and points where there are already mines near the river. An inde- pendent company, which controls large coal fields in the district to be benefited by the barge line, will work ill cooperation with the packet company in developing the field. It is hoped to raise SIoo,- GOO at the meeting tonight.
