looms In Supreme Court.
Denver. July 6.-By a decision handed
down by the state supreme court this
morning the state local option interests
have made decided victory. as the de-
eision in part is as follows:
"When a ward votes dry but pre-
einet in that ward goes wet. the preeine,
is nevertheless dry. and il the ward
should vote wet and a precinct in tha,
ward votes dry. the precinct is dry"
This is the most important decision
handed down by the court for some time,
and the case is an appeal case Of the L
N. Schwartz case against the state oi
Colorado and the Eighth ward Of Denver
The court by the ruling confirmed the
Judgement handed down by Judge Allen
Of the district court some time ago. and
a. number Of cases have been already
drawn up and were ready for trial. this
decision viii! perhaps put an end to them
as in all probability they would have lost.
The local option question in this state is
now perhaps settled more definitely than
for number Of years.

Is Your
Title Good?

In connection with my
loans the past four months,
| have found so many faulty
titles to property in and
around Rocky Ford that l
feel that each property own
er should look to his title
and see if it is correct.
l sold lot recently, the party
holding the lot had owned the
property, or supposed he had
owned it, for about ten years and
thought his title good, but when
abstract was examined, it was
found a warranty deed had been
given some three years before,
to another party, and party to
whom the deed was given cannot
be found.
I examined an abstract to a
property worth several thousand
dollars and found when the war
ranty deed was made the portion
of the property OH which the
dwelling stood had been left out
of the deed, the prior owner of
this property had passed away, so
anyone can readily see the com
plications that will follow.
When buying property insist
on an abstract, have it brought
down to date of purchase, then
have some competent man ex-
anime it at once, as it is much
easier to correct titles when all
parties are alive and here than
afterwards.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The policy OF the Pennsylvania Ran
road Co in planting trees from which
to make railroad ties, has attracted at
tention all over the country. More than
a million trees have been planted by
the company this season, making a to-
tai OF s,4o0. 900 trees planted by this
corporation In the last three years.
This work constitutes the most ex-
tensive forestry plan undertaken by q
private corporation in line with the
American Civic associations campaign
for the conservation OF the timber sup
ply.
BY way OF experiment. the company's
first forestry operations were confined
to wood lots and farm lands between
Philadelphia and Altoona These
tracts were planted mainly in locust
trees. In its work In the present sea-
son. $4,000 trees were set out near
Mstuchen and New Brunswick, ~. J.
OF an trees planted this year, sss,-
600 were red oak. and $4,000 pin oak.
There were planted 10000 Scotch pine
%, 900 locust, $4,000 hardy cataIpa. S.
600 European Iarch, 1000 chestnut g.
600 yellow poplar, 1900 black walnut
and 1000 white pine.
To facilitate its forestry work. the
Pennsylvania company established q
forest tree nursery near MorrisviIle
Penn, last year This place was sell
ected because Of the favorable soil con-
ditions and it's accessibility. II con-
sists Of thirteen acres OF q seventy
acre farm-al Of which is suitable for
the extension OF the nursery. AS the
soil had been worked out. IL was nee
essary to develop the fertility.
During the present season the Nor
risvtlle nursery supplied 1.250, 900 trees
and plants. As soon as the trees had
been removed the area was plowed
fertilized and replanted with acorns
Half q million coniferous seedlings
which were grown in 1898, were trans
planted, and win be ready to be sci
out permanently next season. From
the 100 pounds Of pine and spruee
seeds, IL IL expected to produce a mil
lion new plants.
AS means Of ecOnomlzing in the
consumption OF lumber. the company
has decided % treat cross ties with
cresOte for the purpose of prolongfns
the life OF the wood. This plan was
prompted by the increasing scarcity OF
timber-and a thorough inquiry intc
the conditions Of the timber supply OF
the country.
The Pennsylvania road is furnishing
valuable object lesson to the country
in direction in which the whole eoun.
try win be interested.

puRUM BREAD DAY.

Thursday il Durum Bread Day. 1t
is q day OF great possibilities for the
growers Of durum wheat in North Da-
kota and should have been advertised
not only in every corner OF this state
but In every part OF the United
States.
Unfortunately the growers OF that
particular kind OF wheat and the mil
Iers. who make a speciality Of durum
-four, have both failed lamentably to
take advantage Of the glorious oppor-
tunity. The growers have either been
too busy or too indifferent They have
made no effort to create enthusiasm for
that kind Of wheat. The millers seem
satisfied with what trade they have in
q macaroni way and do not appear
anxious about creating a demand for
the -four for breaking purposes.
There win be some addresses made,
some good work done in a sporadic
way. but no statewide interest has
been created-no great, helpful work
accomplished
It can easily be imagined why the
millers are not enthusiasttc-h II Is
true that they buy durum cheaper and
then mix it with other wheats selling
the product as -four from fife or blue
stem. But why the growers OF the
durum wheat should display such re-
markabls indifference Is a puzzle To
any one who even family realizes wha-
might have been accomplished by a
vigorous and intelligent campaign.
