is Prayer GeoaraphicaI7

Not long ago, in an important coun-
ty in Ohio, the women and others
prayed that it would go dry" and it
did. few days later, the people in
Nassau and Suffolk counties, Long Is
land, prayed that these counties would
become desiccated and count of
the votes showed that there was moth
ing doing. In both cases only those
people prayed who were accustomed
to that form of weapon. Accordingly
there is a strong suggestion that
prayer, like the tariff, is local issue.

ROUTT COUNTY
HOGS MARKETED
FIRST CARLOAD OF HOGS IS SHIP,
PED OVER THE MoFFAT
ROAD.
FROM HAYDEN RANCH
SHIPPER ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
HOG RAISING PROSPECTS IN
HIS DISTRICT.

Denver.-The Record Stockman OF
Friday says: George H. Whiteman, a
successful stockman and farmer of
Hayden. Colo, was on Fridays mar
ket with a carload of hogs loaded at
Steamboat Springs This is the first
car OF hogs ever shipped to market
from Routt county and the first car
ever hauled to market over the Moi
fat road from any OF its shipping
points. The hogs were of very good
quality and sold at $S.25 for the big
end. with a few pigs at $500. a good
strong price on the market. and Mr..
Whiteman expressed himself as well
pleased.
The hogs were fed on Canadian field
peas and barley. together with alfalfa,
which is combination impossible to
beat in hog production. according to
Mr. Whiteman. and he ought to know.
for he was engaged in the hog bust
ness in Nebraska for over thirty years.
Mr.. Whiteman located on homestead
near Hayden some eight years ago
and started his hog raising with two
or three sows and boar. This is
the first carload he has shipped.
though he killed some stuff for local
trade occasionally.
IT expect to make hog raising q
business" said he, land am positive
that there is no better place to do 1t
than in Routt county. There is no
doubt in my mind that one can raise
cheaper and better hogs in that Sec
ton than in any place in the country.
The climate there is right, we can
raise the best feeds to be found any
where and hogs are healthy. Back
where used to live I have lost as
many as 500 hogs in one season from
cholera. but in the eight years have
been raising hogs at Hayden. have
never had one die from the disease.
and find that is the experience of
everybody"
Mr.. Whiteman expected the railroad
to be completed to Hayden by this
time. when he began raising hogs, and
would then have been able to ship
without hauling them. AS it was, he
was compelled to haul the hogs in six
sieighs to Steamboat Springs and load
there. The railroad, however. will be
built on to Hayden within the next
year.

GREAT LAWYER SAVES WOMAN

When Samuel Untermyer of New York. one
of the greatest of the country's corporation law

tice Malone of the supreme court Of New York
to defend Augusta Crisnti, charged with the muir

Mr.. Untermyer had not been connected with
a murder case for years. He had not been inside
a courtroom in connection with of such

his friends believed he had forgotten many Of the

Bath improvements

From Manager J. R. Allison of the
hot tunnel baths, it Is learned that
some decided improvements will be
made in the near future that will in
part relieve the contested condition Of
the tunnels which was annoying last
summer owing to the large number of
patrons and limited capacity to take
care of them. Mr.. N. c. Merrill will
be here about the middle of month at
which time he expects to let contract
for driving another tunnel about thirty
feet north of Cave No. in size six
by eight and one hundred feet into
the hill, and having large hot pool at
the breast. A building will be erect
ed at the portal having a large cooling
room and also dressing room on the
first floor and from eight to twelve
small rooms for individual use of the
patrons, up stairs. The hot tunnel
No. 2 will also be overhauled and
placed in a more attractive condition.
1t is the intention of the Management
later on to connect the new building
with the present one, at the portal of
Cave No. and add another story to
the latter. While these improvements
will not be large yet they will serve to
aft ord better accommodations for the
health seekers. 1t will further en-
able the manager to set apart one of
the tunnels the entire day for women
and the others for men instead of di-
viding up the day as is now necessary
| to accommodate the two sexes.

the big Stanley claims. In one of them

strong vein that averages over $500
per ton, mostly in gold and copper.
Very high grade assays have been
taken from the lode but the officers
of the company are pinning their faith
on the average grade ore Operations
have already begun and the work of
opening up the vein in the different
places began at once. The company
very wisely put the stock on the mar
ket at fifty cents a share instead of
sacrificing it at a very low price. The
men behind the company give appear
ance of making a success.
