Bar Press And Public From The
De Lara Hearing

Los Angeles, Oct. 81. When L.
Gutierrez de Lara, the Mexican at
5orney and author, charged by the de-
partment of commerce and labor al
Washington with being an alien an
archist and illegally resident of The
United States, is tried before Chief
immigration Inspector Ridgway in
this city next week, it will be behind
closed doors with only his attorneys
and witnesses present.
The general public and representa-
tives Of the press will be denied ad-
ralttance. This is in accordance with
the laws, according to Inspector Ridg
way. He quotes the federal statute as
providing for hearing in such cases
separate and apart from the public. -
Mr.. Ridgway has telegraphed to the
department at Washington recommends
ing that De Lara's bail be fixed at
So, 600. He has not yet received an.
answer.
The evidence abducted at the hear
ing will be forwarded to the secretary
Of commerce and labor, who will pass
upon it and return a verdict. There is
no appeal from the secretary's |judg-
ment except to the president of the
United States.

had arrived to do the work. He
said that more than six hundred
millions Of dollars have been spent
IN Improvement of waterways in
the past. Instead Of working to-

however, the money had been spent
IN piecemeal projects provided for
by congress IN response to clamor
from home or as a matter OF party
considerations.

to be unjust.
The committee of the senate and
house are responsible for the policy
which has been pursued. As long as
the home clamor and party consid
'eratlons continue, the president
said, only pieeemeal work can be
expected. The matter should be
looked upon from a business point
OF view, which, after all, he declar-
ed to be patriotic point Of view,
and the whole subject of improve
ment should be considered with re-
ference to their necessity, their
practlcabihty and the common good
OF the country When approved
from these points Of view, bonds
should be issued and the work car
rIed through with rush.
While improved waterways are the
best method Of controlling railroad
rates, the president said, they were
not the only means, and the inter-
state commerce laws should be

them of a reasonable profit.

TAFT FAVORS
INLAND ROUTES
In Texan Address Chief Executive Lauds the
Promotion Of Inland Waterways.

/ Corpus Christi, Tex. Oct. 22-Ir
an address here today, before the
interstate Inland Waterways league
and citizens Of Corpus Christi
President Taft announced himself
as strongly fayoring a permanent
and practical system of inland wa
terWays as means of controlling
railroad rates and said he favored
| the policy OF issuing bonds for
carving out system of improve
mellts. Up to the present time, Mr..
Taft declared, congress has but
poorly provided for improvements
OF this fashion and the work on i'm
proVements has been nothing more
than procession of jerks. Before
any project is entered upon, the
president declared. it should be
thoroughly considered, investigated
and reported upon by a board of
engineers as to its feasibility and
deslrability.
Once the improvement has been
decided to be desirable and the com
munity which it is to serve can con-
vince congress that their growth
has been such as to justify the ex-
penditure of a large sum of money
to take care OF increasing trade,
bonds should be issued so that the
improvements might be carried into
effect at once, and the benefits be
quickly secured.
The president said he could see no
difference between improving in
land waterways and digging the
Panama canal. Each project should |
be separately considered to deter
mine whether or not it is worth |
doing.
Mr.. Taft referred to the fact that |
in the Ohio river improvements
were under way to secure a nine
foot stage from Pittsburg to Cairo.
An intercoastal nine-foor canal, he
declared, would be of great service.

The president said he recognized
he danger of issuing bonds indis-
,riminately. and said the people
must not lose sight Of the fact that
some .lay the bonds must be paid.
But he declared his great faith in
he conservatism Of congress and
he American people, and he did
lot believe they would go into the

Galen Gives Opinion Interesting
To Miners

Helena, Oct. 20.-In response to a
query from the state board of land
commissioners, Attorney General Ga
len rendered an opinion today, con-
strueting the law relative to the To-
cation Of mining claims on lands be-
longing to the state. The question
submitted was as to whether person
discovering mineral in vain, lode or
ledge, or mineral in a placer deposit
on state lands, which are held by
lease from the state, has the right to
enter into possession of the land en-
braced within the mining claim and
TO work and develope it.
The opinion holds that the law per-
mitting this entry applies only to
state lands not occupied by lessees or
persons holding the same under certi-
f1cates OF purchase. When the state
has executed i lease for a tract Of
state land the lessee is entitled to the
Of all the land during the
lie Of his lease and a person desiring

Chicago Market Report

Chicago Union Stock Yards, ILL.,,
Oct. 25. The unexpected always
happens, at least in the cattle business.
| Run Of rangers this season has fooled
every one. The Yards experts looked
| for Is per cent decrease. The railroad
| live stock agents put the shortage as
high as 40 per. cent. The cold facts
are receipts to date 243, 200 head, last
year to date 246, TOO, a paltry $500
head, on a little over 2 per cent de
crease. It seems that il you shake the
trees the fruit falls. The prices have
been a great incentive to mark citing,
but every year the small shipments are
increasing. It is very noticeable this
season. We are having a steady ac-
cumulation Of one and tWo-car ship
ments which aggregate a grand total
at the end Of the year. The range van
ishes, but the small cattleman and
granger fl the gap. It is evolution,
peaceful revolution and changing Of
conditions that means progress, and
that leads on to prosperity.

Taft May Deny Entrance To All
French Imports

Washington, Oct. 20. Drastic
measures including the exclusion of
all importations Of any country un-
justly discriminating against this
country, may be found necessary by
the president in the event it should be
regarded as requisite for this country
to adopt retaliatory tariff measures
against France.
While so far this government has
received no official information of the
intention of France to operate a maxi
mum tariff against this country on
the termination--on Oct. 31stof the
commercial agreement, officials here
are willing to admit that there is
some danger Of the two countries for
some time at least Of applying their
maximum rates against each other.
The exclusion power IS furnished in
Section S Of the tariff act Of Aug 80,
1890. This section empowers the presi-
dent ii case American goods are IN
justly Disseminated against BY any
country, absolutely to prohibit the
Importation into the United States
from that country Of any article he
may sec fit to name.

The confidence expressed by all the
campaign managers was pointed out |

cation Of the non partisan character
of the support upon which the eandi-
lates depend and of the breaking

Barley as a Fertilizer.

Colorado beet growers, with pocket

interest some experiments to be made
in a new line of soil chemistry during
the coming spring. says the Denver Re-
publican. Most of them are not posi-
tive about the meaning of quantitative
analysis, precipitates, polarization or
synthetic results. but their eyes will
be trained to CLEAN the practical re-
suits from the turning over of an un-
ripened barley crop in the beet fields.
Axel Swanson. state labor commission
er, is keeping informed on the progress
of the experiments, although this is
outside the line of his duty, and he be-
lieves there will be greatly increased

farmers that partly grown barley.

After the morning sermon one Sun
day he had read the notices for the

that moment one OF the deacons came
down the aisle, and the minister
paused to hear what he had to say.
which was that the pastor had forgot
ten to give notice Of meeting Of the
ladies' of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no.
tice. apologizing to the congregation
for his forgetfulness. and then again
announced the number OF the hymn.
and proceeded to read 1t. His feelings

with the antics of his trick dog. The
doctor pulled up and watched the fun
a while and then said:

to train your dog that way? l can't

The man addressed looked up. and
with that simple rustic look replied:

The relations of the government Of
flee of experiment stations with the
state stations have never been more
cordial than they are at present. They
are doing more scientific and practical
work. They are carrying their studies
more thoroughly over the states and
reaching larger proportion Of the

the year they published 459 annual re-

farm CLUBS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS
RECOMMENDING OF DIRECTOR
OF FARMERS INSTITUTES
FOR COLORADO.
VALUABLE WORK DONE
CORRESPONDENCE COURSE PRO-
POSED TO MEET WANTS OF
EACH FARMER.

A movement 20 organize more than
10000 boys apG girls over the state
into township clubs to grow grains. po-
tatoes, and other crops and for sewing
and cooking is one of the most impor-
tant suggestions contained in the an
nual report of Prof II. NJ. Cottrell di-
rector OF the department Of farmers
Institutes, to the Colorado State Board
OF Agriculture
With the limited appropriation for
the work the department held during
the> year just cIosing-and they were
all held in the first few months-24O
sessions. which had n total attendance
OF 2S.225.
Professor CO ttrell declares that
farmers institutes should be held in
every settlement all over the state
where new settlers are numerous. and
points out the Importance of such in
drawing still Tore settlers to Colo
RADIO. adding:
"The short course is the most thor
oughiy appreciated and the most valu-
able extension york done by the col
lege. 1t permits the giving of extend
ed Information on subjects Of special
importance to those who attend.
IN the last two years many thou
sand farmers have come to the state
Most of them are unacquainted with
the conditions and methods that se-
cure the best results In Colorado. They
need help from the college. II they
succeed. they will bring thousands Of
other settlers to the state. Their fail
ure means permanent injury. For
the benefit of the state, the college
should hold farmers institute in
every settlement where new settlers
are numerous.
"There are thousands of new set
tiers on Colorado farms who need in
formation thror ghout the season on
problems that come to them in the
new conditions under which they are
| working. Such problems as prepara-
ton of the soil and varieties to plant
at different attitudes. when and how
to apply water. methods OF culture.
how to feed Colorado crops, and pre-
vention OF insect depredations and
plant disease.
Besides specific information. they
need TO be taught the principles un-
DERIVING farm methods peculiar to
Colorado. A correspondence course
fills this need and can be adapted to
the special wants of each farmer.
"There are more than G0,000 boys
and girls over fifteen years old Of
school age in Colorado. The farmers
institute department should organize
these boys in school districts and
township clubs to grow grains, pota-
toes. :ugar beets, melons and field
peas. to feed Colorado crops and to
study methods and markets. Each year
boys institute should be held in n
township at which the products grown
by themselves compete. The prize
winning products OF each township
should compete at county institute
and the winners in each county should
enter a state contest. Similar work
should be conducted in cooking and
sewing with the girls"
