Visits Apple Show at Spokane.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 25, 1903.
A. M. ANDERSON, Publisher
The Delta Independent,
Delta, Colorado.
DEAR Mr.. ANDERSON
/ have just returned from trip to
the National Apple Show at Spokane.
They had a fine exhibit of all varieties
of the "King of Fruit and what is
more they showed that they understood
the question of grading and packing,
also displaying. The exhibits were in
fact rather more extensive than | ex-
pected to find. The Northwest is on to
the advertising game far better than
we Coloradoans and we can learn much
from them.
The papers at Spokane announce that
sent down to the Denver show, but as
near as can tell now there will only
be two cars and some entries for the
five and ten box classes. do not think
that Colorado growers have anything
to fear from the Northwest and it is a
great thing for Colorado growers that
these Northwest fellows are coming
down, as it will be worth the price Of a
ticket to Denver to be shown the fruit
that has such a big reputation and to
know that it is really no better than
ours.
Having seen the Spokane show has
not lessened my confidence in Colorado
apples and have no fears for the re-
suits from our show unless our Colorado
growers are careless in placing their
displays. Certainly TO win will be great
glory as there will be hard competition.
Many states will be represented and
the present indications are that there
will be at least twenty cars of apples
on display.
If any exhibitors want to take ad-
vantage of the rates on the selling days
for exhibitors only they should send in
for exhibitors certificates. Everything
is working toward the show being a
great exhibit of the National fruit.
A delegation of about 75 will come
down from the Northwest on account
of the discussion of the Lefean bill.
G. l.. OLIVER,
Secretary.

The Late 7. 8. Murdock.

We will not say he is dead, for he
said in writing of the death of his
brother, ''There is no death. There are
no dead. No waiting for the resurrec-
ton. Every death is resurrection in
that it releases the spirit from the
body" His own paper turned no rules
and his name is still at the head of the
editorial column.
Few Kansas editors were better
known or oftener quoted. He made a
good home paper, covering the entire
local field, and kept in close touch with
state and national affairs, and with the

brilliant writer, but an attractive
one, and was always proud of Kansas,
whether she was suffering or on the
high seas of prosperity. He went to

The hero spirit is strong in the

review of the public land question.
Secretary Ballinger expressed him
self as strongly opposed to non-reser-

The sum of $3.50, 900 for the Uncom-
pahgre project will mean the finishing
of the main laterals and the finishing
touches to the tunnel, and this, with
the fine progress the unification of the

bright look to the Uncompahgre pro-
ject for the year 1910.

Secretary Ballinger Makes
Reclamation Report.

Secretary of the Interior Richard A.
Ballinger has made public the report
of his department. The report is a
lengthy one, and in it the secretary
makes many recommendations to Con-
gress for needed legislation and re-
forms. An allotment of $3.50, 900 is
made to the Gunnison tunnel project,
and about $4,000 to the High Line
canal project, to be used on the work
in the coming year.
The secretary estimates that up to

the reclamation fund the sum of
$50, 661, 900, and that during the period
ending June 80, 1909, there had been
expended on reclamation work the net
amount of $45, 757, ,9l8. He estimates

4 Silly Fabrication
Says Clifford Pinchot.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The story
that have issued an ultimatum to the

nor anything that could be twisted into
that meaning" said Clifford Pinchot to-
day. "The President was good enough
to express his satisfaction with my work
and l am going ahead with it, he con-
tinued. and further than this Mr.. Pin

No cases of corporal punishment were

statement does not mean that less at
tention is being paid to discipline, on the
contrary more emphasis is placed upon
prompt and willing obedience. 1t
means that the pupils ars growing into
better attitude toward constituted
authority, and that the home is working
with the school in the government of
the child.
Now with more active cooperation
on the part of the parents, and of the
municipal authorities our pupils will
merit all that may be said in their
praise.
A number of boys whose ages range
from 13 to Is are loafing about the

see that such go to work or to school,
where they will learn some trade and

A special school under the charge Of
worthy and experienced teacher, who
Is firm and just in his government
seems to be the best solution 10 this
problem.
