IN THE WHITE RIVER NATIONAL
FOREST OF NORTHWESTERN
COLORADO.
TO RIVAL YELLOWSTONE
DENVER MAN GOES TO WASHING
TON TO URGE THE PLAN
BEFORE CONGRESS.

Denver.-The Republican, Sunday
morning, says: "A movement is on
foot to convert the White river ma
tional forest in Northwestern Colorado
into national park. that will stand
next to Yellowstone park and Yo-
semitic park in natural wondrous
beauty. A bill will be introduced in
Congress within the next few months
for that purpose.
THE promoter Of the new national
park is Edwin A. Brown, a Denver
man of Independent wealth, who Is
well known through his efforts to have
municipal lodging house established
in Denver. Mr.. Brown left for Wash
ington yesterday where he will inter-
view President Roosevelt, National
Forester Clifford Pinchot, Senator Gug-
genheim, Senator Hughes and Con-
gressmen Taylor, Rucker and Martin
regarding the project. Mr.. Brown is
a relative of w. c. Brown, president
of the New York Central railway, from
whom he bears letters to many promi
nent men in Washington.
"Coloradoans who have visited the
White River national forest unite in
saying that it is probably the most
picturesque place for natural beauty
and grandeur in picturesque and grand
Colorado. Filled with towering peaks,
spruce-clad mountain slopes, sprnkled
with more than score of mirror-like
mountain lakes, some of them 100
acres in extent. dazzling, plunging,
lace-like waterfalls. many rs or 30
feet in height, babbling, torrentous
mountain streams, laughing and
splashing on their way, and hundreds
of natural springs. make it place for
rest and delight, an ideal camping spot
for nature lovers, and one of the few
natural game parks in the country.
by building roadways in there such
as have been constructed In Yellow
stone and Yosemite parks, 1t would
make another playground for the ma
ton. 1t is easy of access to the public
now, the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
way running to Glenwood Springs,
within twelve miles of the forest, and
OH the other side of the forest the re-
Gently constructed Moffat road goes to
Steamboat Springs. If it is made a
national park it is probable that both
OF these roads would build branch
lines to the very borders of the park"

PRUNING PEAR TREES.
Experiments to Prove the Value Of
Different Methods.

The following experiment in prun-

Farmers Review:
Experiment No. 1-One-half all new
wood was cut back before any sign of
the bud expanding in the spring.
Experiment No. 2-Same was done
to. other trees when buds were ready
to open.
Experiment No. 3-When in full
bloom and ready to drop the bloom
other trees were cut back one-half.
Nothing further was done, the trees
needing no pruning otherwise.
Now for results: they were just In

trees pruned early gave the best fruit

good. Those pruned second did not do

HEAD LETTUCE FROM AorseDs.
Now 10 the Time to Begin to Plan for
Early Vegetables.

Plants were started about March
In an ordinary hotbed and were well
aired to get hardy plants. The hot
bed into which they were transplanted
was made the last week in March,
making a bed of hot manure eight feet
wide and Is inches deep on top of the
ground. Frames were made as for
ordinary cold frames, except that they
were deeper, Is inches back and ten
inches front.
These frames were set on the ma
nure. After it had settled we'll and
had been trampled evenly, five inches
of rich soil was put in, which was COW
cred with about one inch of rotted
sheep manure and thoroughly mixed
with the soil. The bed was then
marked SO plants would stand eight
inches apart each way, putting in
about 40 plants to the sash.
Our sashes are made three by six
feet. using two by two-inch stuff, with
a crossbar of the same in the middle.
Common sheeting, costing eight cents
per yard, was tackled onto this frame
with large-headed tacks. Plants were
set the last day of March, and it
seemed as if to test the value of the
plan a cold snap came on the morn
ing of April the thermometer stood
at 16 degrees above zero. Cabbage
and caulifiower plants set In a we'll
protected cold frame were frozen bad
ly. while this bed. with only slight
protection of wild hay, came through
without bit of frost.
The sashes were removed every day,
unless it showed or the thermometer
stood below 40 degrees, but were COW
cred every night when there was dan
ger Of frost, writes the correspondent
In Orange Judd Farmer. A row of
Scarlet Globe radishes was sown be-
tween each row and were sold at a
good profit ten days before we could
pull from outdoors. A few sashes
were planted to Grand Rapids lettuce,
which was ready to cut May 20, while
plants set outdoors were not ready un-
til two weeks later.
We began setting head lettuce June
l, which was 10 days earlier than
from outdoors, where fine, large heads
were set. The lettuce from the
sashes brought us 60 cents per dozen
wholesale and from seven to ten cents
per head from the wagon. On our re-
tail route it brought about two dollars
per sash, beside the radishes, which
brought one dollar per sash on an
average.
April and May were cold and wet
here, SO that with an average season
and by using large. strong plants,
think we could have had heads by
May 20. Nearly every plant made a
good. hard, well-developed head. The
varieties were May King, Big Boston
and Naumberger. new variety which
proved better than May King, both
in the sashes and outside 1t made
larger, more solid head that stood
longer after it was ready to cut than
May King. and Just as early.

Northwestern Reaching Out.

Denver-The Republican Monday
morning says: Yesterdays dispatches
confirming the sale of the Penn-Wy-
oming Mining Company's properties,
including the -Haggerty mine
and 1.000ton smelter at Grand Eli
campment, Wyo.. and the Saratoga &
Encampment railroad, connecting with
the Union Pacific at Saratoga. Wyo.,
to coterie of Chicago capitalists, is
an indication that the first step has
been taken in the project by which the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad will
reach the bituminous and anthracite
coal fields of Colorado. first announced
in The Republican one month ago.
That the Northwestern is behind the
deal is not doubted by Routt county
people now in Denver, nor by F. o.
Willmarth of Casper, who is now STOP
ping at the Albany hotel. The build
ing of one more short link, some forty
miles in length, will place the North
western, which is Vanderbilt system,
and one of the largest railroad corpo-
rations in the United States, at the
door of the mammoth Routt county
fields of both bituminous and anthra-
cite. The Northwestern now has to
haul it's coal from the Illinois fields,
1000 miles up grade, whereas coal of
much superior quality can be made
available at comparatively small en-
pense. The news that Northwestern
surveyors have been making exhaust
i've examinations of the route to be
traversed by the short remaining link
was brought to Denver by Routt coun-
ty people month ago.

A Washington court has before it
the question of how far man has the
right to snore and to talk in his sleep,
and how far another man whom he
keeps awake by doing these things has
the right to shoot him up. The ques.
tion is delicate one, involving, as it
does, the conflicting claims of both to
the constitutional right to the pursuit
of happiness. Solomon would find
plenty of occupation for his abnormal
wisdom in settling the cases which
come up in the civilized tribunals OF
to-day.

1t is little surprising to find Judge
Barron of the Canadian Judiciary argu-
ing in the public prints Of his country
against Canadian contributions to Eng
lands naval expenditures, and uphold
ing the abandoned principle of harbor
defense by means of few inexpensive
submarines and torpedoes. 1t is even
more surprising to find him quoting
Premier Laurier in support OF his con-
tention. The accepted theory of naval
strategy now is one of offense, not de-
tense, says the Detroit Free Press. A
nation best repulses its enemies by
seeking them out and destroying them,
according to the tacticians. This rule
of warfare Is at the root of Great Bri-
tain's present naval policy. She keeps
her fleets near home, mobilized to
strike forcefuily ard speedily at any
antagonistic combination. Judge Bar
rons plan contemplates the building
Of Canadian destroyer and a sub
marine every year for five years, max
Ing total outlay of say $2,500,0O. The
sum is trifing in these days of huge

Solemn Ministers.

Many people regard the minister as
. solemn man. Young people often
do, and are afraid to be themselves
in his presence. writes n. MCGEE Wa
ters. ID. d., ip the Homiletic Review.
Never seeing him except in the pulpit,
which Is a place for seriousness and
dignity, they imagine he always looks
like q funeral and acts like a prayer
meeting. I'll never forget the awful
Sunday the minister used to stay at
bored the minister as much as 1t did
us children. None of us acted natural
ly, and we would not let him. 1t was
an awful. solemn, and holy time. One
hot Sunday Afternoon my eyes were
opened The minister, left to himself
for moment, came out to us children,
where We sat like martyrs on the
lawn, and, grabbing up blade of
grass. put it between his thumbs and
blew on 1t blast louder than loco
motives whistle. We had been dying
to do something desperate all after
noon, but did not dare. Mother heard
1t and came around the house with the
day of judgment in her eye. When
she saw 1t was the minister she van
fshed like dream. My soul went out
in that screech, and to me it was
sweeter than the sacred song. After
that ] knew the minister was human,

KdRs. ELEANOR MARTIN win en-
V tertain SATURDAY afternoon ..s'...' at a
4 reception and lecture to be given
at her attractive home in Broad
way. The lecturer on this occasion
will be Marcel Poete. and a large
number of guests have been hidden
to meet the eminent Frenchman. Mrs.
Martin is a patron of literature and
has provided some of the most enter
tanning and instructive lectures OF the
season. The reception will be informal.
since the lecture furnishes the chief
interest of the affair.
Miss Helen Dean entertained yester-
day afternoon at an informal tea given
lin the laurel court at the Fairmont in
compliment to Miss Innes Keeney and
Miss Floyd of Kentucky, who is the
guest of Captain and Mrs. Thomas Q.
Ashburn.
Mrs. Charles NJ. Keeney and her
daughter Miss Innes Keeney, will pass
the early summer here but will leave
later for visit at Louisville, KY, and
in New York. Mrs. Keeney's former
home is in the south, and number of
delightful entertainments are already
planned for the visitors After visit
ing Mrs. Tomlinson in New York they
will return for the winter.
Mr.. and Mrs William S Tevis are in
town for brief stay after an absence
of several weeks at their country place
in Bakersfield.
Miss Kathleen Thompson and Mrs.
B. F. Norris will leave in the latter
part of the month for New York, where
Miss Thompson's marriage with Charles
Norris will take place April 80. The
ceremony will be of interest to many
friends in this city, where the couple
are popular in society and literary
circles. The bride will be given away
by her uncle, Rear Admiral Henry W.
Lyon. L. s. N, retired, and the guest
list includes the names of many prom
inent people. The ceremony will be
marked by simplicity, however. and
will be followed by an informal recep-
tion for the friends of the couple. Nor
ris and his bride will make their home
in New York.
Miss Genevieve Walker returned yes
terday after delightful visit at Bur
lingame, where she was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Martin at their
home. Miss Walker was the compli-
mented guest at a series of informal
affairs during her stay out of town
and shared the honors on several occa-
sions with Miss Genevieve Harvey. who
is the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Cooper. 1t is probable that Miss Har-
vey will pass a few days in town as
the guest of Mrs. Eleanor Martin be-
fore her return to Del Monte.
j. Downey Harvey has returned to
town after a weekend visit at Del
Monte and is again at the home of Mrs.
Eleanor Martin. Mrs Harvey is at
Del Monte and will remain for an in
definite stay.
