Leaving, at present, the question
of planting the lawn for considera-
ton at another time, the following
hints regarding care of lawns may
be helpful.
Lawns in Colorado are best water
ed with the hose if water supply of
that character is available. One of
the many styles of sprinklers at
tached to the end of the hose is desir-
able as timesaver. If there is no
hydrant, the lawn should be flooded
every ten days or two weeks, if rain
does not occur meanwhile. The wa
ter in this case should not be allow
ed to stay on for a great while, es-
pecially if there is much shade, or
the grass roots will be destroyed
wholly or in part and yellow spots
will appear here and there in the
sward. OF whatever character it is.
thorough watering best follows i'm
mediately after moving.
Ordinarily the lawn should be
gone over every week or ten days
with the lawn mower, the shorter
period being better where the wa
kter supply is constant. Inc appear
Iance of the sward is greatly improv-
ed by observing the following points:
First. the use of the 'grass-catcher"
attachments to the machine for the
removal OF the cut grass, second,
moving in straight lines, and so far
as possible in the same direction;
third tapping the machine only one
half the width of the swath; fourth,
trimming out with sickle and sheep
shears all the grass which cannot be
reached with the mower. The fol-
lowing comments may be made upon
the preceding statements. In the use
of the apron or catcher" it should
be remembered that the removal of
the grass at every moving means the
removal of fertility which should be
restored by late fall manuring, but
the velvety appearance which we so
much admire is secured better than
by letting the grass lie where it
falls. From a new lawn, however,
i. e., one planted in the surrant sea-
son, the grass should not be remov-
ed, but allowed to lie where it falls
for it's value as a mulch. The direc-
tion of the moving should be alter
mated in successive mowings, pre-
ferably at right angles to the prev
ious moving. Trees, buildings, ETC.,
are left by the machine with an un-
slightly fringe of tan grass, which a
little extra time with sickle and scis-
sors VIII vastly improve. The sward
about a bed or border should end in
an abrupt edge and this edge trim

med with the shears. Pushing the
soil back towards the middle of the
bed gives the edge its desirable
abruptness. Walks should be sim
ilarly edged.
While moving high and low places
and holes should be noted for sub
sequent correction. The man with
the mower learns one reason why
terraces and abrupt banks are un-
desirable. When these are run over
by the mower the knives bite so
deeply that these high points become
sore spots" due to the kilnng out
of the too closely shorn grass. Holes
may be filled with prepared soil
tgarden loan and sand in equal
parts) and the grass will shortly
come up through it. Probably the
correction of high and low areas may
better be deferred until spring. Such
corrections involve the lifting of the
sod and the addition or removal of
soil. Occasionally high places may
be corrected by the use of heavy
roller.
Attention to such minute details
as above described insure that we'll
groomed appearance in lawns which
everyone admires.

THE TRAIN

Charles Keller, aged IL years,
the son of Mike Keller, who for
a long period has operated bar
ber shop on Fourth street, was
crushed to death between two
exprss cars attached to Rio
Gnsnde train No. 9, east bound,
last night mt DeBeuue.
1t seems that young Keller and
two other boys were beating their
way over the road. They boarded

two cars.
While the train was standing at
the water tank at DeBeque the boys
started to jump off. His two COM
panions made the jump safely. but.
as young Keller started to jump, the
train moved and he was pinned be-
tween two cars and so horribly
crushed that he died an hour later
after suffering terrible agony. Ev-
erything possible was done to relieve
the sufferings of the dying boy.
The remains were brought to thl

The Washington Herald (Rep.)
says "Bryan's third nomination is,
in any aspect, a momentuous thing
which testifies to pervasive inflU-
ence, which it would be folly to ig-
more. Bryan is not to be disposed
of by calling him a charlatan and an
adventurer. He has not been borne
aloft by great wave of discomfort
and desire for radical changes, which
has swept over a large part of the
country. No intelligent survey ci
the nations defenses against Bryan
ism can blind the truth that they
have been greatly weakened duriDg
the past four years. A party tha.
has appropriated Bryans ideas can
not. with good effect, attack his per

Some of the Colorado newspapers
are advocating law which will pro-
vide for minority representation on
boards of county commissioners. A
law of that kind is needed. The COM
missioners are the financial agents
and auditing committee of the coun-
ty and it is of the utmost Importance
that the board should be so consti-
tuted as to give the taxpayers the
greatest possible protection. If the
boards are composed of members of
a single political party, with no mi
nority member to hold the others
in check, abuses are apt to develop
in county management and the tax
payers are the sufferers. A law Civ
ing both the leading parties of a
county representation on the board
would be an excellent thing, but it is
probably too much to expect from a

ROCKEFELLER SAYS
OIL TRUST GREW
President of Standard Company
Called as Witness to Defeat
Government Suit
He Tells Reporters His Crime Is
Selling Cheaper Than Any
One Else

NEW YORK, Nov 1S-Relating his
story with the air of a country gentle
man of kinly mien, engaging a host of
friends with incidents of days long
past, John D. Rockefeller, president of
the Standard oil company. though for
nearly 10 years retired from the active
cares of company direction, fer more
than two hours today reviewed the his
tory of the early trade and the devel-
opment Of the company that later grew
into the so called oil trust.
Rockefeller was witness for the de-
fense in suit prosecuted by the United
States government to dissolve the
Standard oil company, and his appear
ance at the hearing before Judge
Franklin Ferriss, the referee, brought
a large crowd TO the customs building.
The head of the big oil combine was
surrounded by an imposing circle of
counsel. and when he began his testi-
mony he gazed complacently upon a
swarm of spapermen. When John
G. Mulburn, of counsel for the Standard
oil company, propounded his first ques-
tion, the witness spoke out in full
tones as if he desired the most distant
spectator in the chamber to hear.
Rockefeller spoke of his start in the
oil business and how under adverse
conditions that business grew to pro-
portions of the Standard oil company
of Ohio. with its capitalization of
$1,000, 600. Rockefeller's eyes sparkled
as he said:
1T seemed very large to us, who be-
gan with only $4,000, in 1852"
The development of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's testimony today indicated that one
of the lines of the defense would be
that the Standard oil company was not
the result Of an aggressive policy to
gain mastery of the oil trade, as
charged. but the natural outcome of an
economical development which the ext
gencies Of the oil trade demanded.
During a brief recess this afternoon
Rockefeller talked to the reporters on
the Standards s growth, saying:
" hat q wonderful thing it has
been-the growth of this business. 1t
all seems like a dream to me, and here
] am accused of doing the very wicked
est thing Of selling a good article at a
lower price than any one else"
The takingsof Rockefeller's testimony
viii be continued tomorrow.
