by far than Indian corn and 1t
requires but little work for cul-
tivation, and with Indian corn at
present high prices katfir corn
is the money making feed for
hogs in Texas.
A representative of Swine
Breeders Journal made tour of
Texas recently and he talks
about hogs in Texas in manner
that is highly interesting. He
says:
They do not know what hog
cholera in in the Panhandle. |
asked so many if they ever had
hog cholera, they began to think
I was an agent for some cholera
cure.
Tn the southern plains there
were 1900 hogs in an alfalfa
field. They looked good. Berk
shire blood predominated. We
did not see a white hog in Texas,
most all black, a few reds and
others spotted.
THE sweetest piece of ham we
ever ate was in Texas. They
told me they fed their hogs on
kaffir corn. 1t makes from %
to 30 bushels per acre in sod
without cultivation.
I'VE do not think Texas will
make a great Indian corn state,
but we predict it will make one
of the greatest wheat fields in
the world.
1T will be a great country for
hogs, being dry, plenty of water,
and no cholera. The farmer or
breeder starting good herds in
the Panhandle will be success
full. "

Four wet precincts in the city of Den

These are precincts 10 and 16 OF ward

In ward 9 the local option question
was submitted by precincts, because
of the large hotels at Broadway and
Seventeenth avenues. In this ward,
precincts 8, 4, and are wet, be-
cause no vote was taken. Precincts l,
2, ~, Is, II, 10 and 20 were carried

The result of the decision in the

Three wards in Pueblo were carried
by the drys at the last election and,
according to e. E. Mclaughlin, super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon league,
big gains were made all over the
state.
There is now a respectable list of
dry counties in the state" said Mr..
Mclaughlin, made so by the opera
tion of the local option law. On the
Western slope, Mesa, Delta and Mon

In northern Colorado. Larimer coun-

Beavers as Asslstan. Engineers.

Beavers as assistants to mining
operations is the unique situation
which maintained until recently in the
case of Charles T. Richert and asso-
ciates of Colorado Springs, who are
driving a tunnel on the Pixies Peak
reservation east of Walkers on the
Midland terminal, says the Cripple
Creek correspondent of the Denver
Republican.
Waterpower was used for the mine
plant and the beavers in the park
dams were of involuntary and mate
rial assistance to the engineer in
charge. The stream carries small
volume of water, not sufficient for the
requirements of the mine plant. 1t
was found that by using water from
the beaver dams and sending 1t to
the storage reservoir of the mining
company, sufficient power could be
secured.
Breaks were made in the beaver
dams in the early morning and enough
water flowed down during the daylight
hours. At night the industrious beav-
ers would repair the break, and this
daily performance was continued un-
til steam was substituted. The beav-
ers are now unmolested.

SUCCESSOR TO DAz
Mexico Concerned Over Coming
vice-PresidentiaI Election.
Ramon Corral, a Protese Of piaz, and
Gen. Reyes, Idol Of Army, Lead
Ing Candidates Now, With Joss
lImantour a Possibility.

City of Mexico.-What is quite gen.
orally conceded to be equivalent to a
campaign for the presidency OF Mex
leo is now being waged in this coun-
try, the contestants being Ramon
Corral, the present vice-president, and
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor OF the
state of Nuevo Leon. These men are
active candidates for vice-president.
The election is not until next year,
and the race promises to become very
exciting by that time.
President Diaz. who has agreed to ac-
cept the presidency for another term
of six years, will be so years old Sep
tember Is, 1910, and 1t can hardly be
expected that he will live out his term
of Office 1t is for this reason that
so much Importance is attached to the
election of a vice-president.
The vice-presidency Of Mexico was
created by an amendment to the con-
stitution six years ago, and Ramon
Corral was the first man elected to
that office. His election was a mere
formality, as he was in reality selected
for the place by President Diaz, who
is said to have had him in training
with the view Of making him his sue
cessor. Vice-President Corral was re-
Gently renominated for the office on
the ticket with President Diaz. The
nomination was not unanimous, MS
some of the delegates to the conven-
tion insisted in voting for Gen.
Reyes, and others wanted to support
Jose Ives Limantour. present minis
ter of finance, but the Corral adher-
ents were in the majority and their
candidate was nominated.
The nomination of Gen. Reyes for
vice-president has not been done in
the usual convention form. He has
been put up for the Office by means of
numerously signed petitions by his
friends and admirers all over the
country. 1t was originally planned
that he was to be a candidate for
president, but when Diaz reconsidered
his intention of not again being a
candidate for the high office. 1T was
decided that Reyes should make the
race against Corral for vice-president.
The anti-American issue promises
to become largely involved in this
campaign. Supporters of Gen. Reyes
are already making an open charge
that 1t was through Mr. Corral that
