FRED A.. ATKINSON DEAD

Fred A. Atkinson, for twenty-five
years an active citizen of this city, but
who left last December for trip to
the coast with hopes that his health
might be improved, died last Monday
morning of this week in Seattle. He
was with his brother in the far north
west, and although his friends here
knew of his physical condition, the mes
sage received by the local lodge of Ma
sons announcing his death, came as a
severe shock, and was the burden of all
conversation throughout the day.
Coming to this city in 1885, Mr.. At
kinson began an active life of doing
what he could to build up the town.
Saving his earnings, he acquired some
means, and Immediately invested. As II
builder and contractor he assisted in
turning desert into a blooming town
Working long hours, depriving himself
of the rest his tired and aching BODY
so much needed, he finally succumbe 1
to Bright's disease, and death claimed
him last Monday morning.
1t is estimated that his wealth will
reach $4,000. One+third of this amount
is said to have been bequeathed to the
local masonic lodge, of which he was a
member. The rest will probably go to
his brother in the west, and a sister,
said to live in Illinois.
But few days ago a message was
received announcing that Mr.. Atkinson
expected to reach this city this month
and start work on new business houses
on Grand avenue. He owned some
property here and, having every faith
in the town as business proposition,
he continually planned to increase hi,
holdings.
For years the deceased was 4 partnc:
of the late Frank Burcham and the two
men did much to build Glenwood to
its present size.
Funeral services, in charge of the Sc,
attic, Wash, Masons, were held We'd
nesday of this week.

EAGLES GIVE Big SMOKER

"Dago Mike" of Leadville and Ollie
Astel of Palisade fought twelve rounds
to draw in the opera house in this
city last Saturday night. The Leadville
man weighed in at l22 and Astell tip
ped the scales at 1873. The latter had
an advantage of five inches in height,
, three inches in reach and eleven pounds
, in weight. AT times the fighting was
fast and furious, but neither man was
able to deliver a knockout.
1t looked bad for the Palisade youth
/ in the second, when Mike landed vi
cious swing to the head, following it
with a left uppercut that missed, his
elbow cutting Astell over the left eye.
| Blood flowed freely from the wouni
and blinded Astcl.. The tap of the
gong prevented Mike putting out his
man. As.el had Mike on the ropes
twice but could not deliver the knock
out. After the third round Astel kept
improving, while his opponent seemed
/ to lose strength, and in the closing
rounds Mike mad but little steam be-
/ hind his blows.
/ Both men broke clean in the clinches
and gave Referee Rich Thompson no
trouble. In the twelfth round both men
did their best to deliver the sleep punch
/ hut failed, and as the gong sounded,
J Referee Thompson held up one hand of
each, thus indicating 4 draw. His de-

the 300 people present, many of whom
came from Leadville, Aspen, New Cas-
the fight, Mike stepped to the from,
of the stage and announced that he
was perfectly willing TO meet Astel
again, for any number of rounds, at the
same weights for $500 n side. He com.
plained of the decision, saying he had
been given the worst of the deal.
The contest was pulled off by the
local lodge of Eagles, and followed the
preliminary event between Cree of As
pen and Fitendorf of Grand Valley in
which the Grand Valley man was semi
to dreamland in the scond minute Of
the first round.
The sheriff, undcrsherff and city mar

announcement was greeted with loud

ance. M. Simyan. under-secretary of posts and telegraphs, will probably be displaced.
 In France the government owns the telegraph and telephone and conducts them very much as it does postal af- fairs, and the government employees are organized on trade union lines. The strike created. a blockade of mails and wires. Wires were cut, even those connecting the residence of the Presl- dent of France with the various min isters.
 The French case seems strange in this country but when the country owns railroads and wire lines, as well as postal affairs, it is not strange that employees will at times and under stress align themselves with their unions against their own government This is the situation in France In Germany and in Russia and in some other countries, similar strikes are pos sible, because government ownership is wide and varied in them.

President EliOt'S FiVe-FOOt Shelf

All are ready to agree with President Eliot that a five-foot shelf would give any man with a willing mind liberal education, but the filling of that self is another matter. Right there dis agreement springs up among the learned, and no two lists are alike. Julia Ward Howe says the first ten books on that shelf should be the Bible, Pilgrims Progress, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Paradise Lost, Homer's Head, Odes of Horace, the Pickwicll Papers, Percy's Religues, and Ivanhoe. This is good beginning for, say, 50 volumes that five-foot shelf would hold
 After all, is not President Eliots list longer than is necessary in order to give it's owner a liberal education? When General Pettus went to Califor- mia in AZ he carried on his back-for he went overland-his library, and that library consisted of three books-the Bible, Shakespeare and Bobby Burns. No one can name three other books that would supplant in a carefully se- lected library the three that General Pettus carried to California. He had the very cream of English literature the very top of human wisdom and workmanship. The three should stand at the beginning of the flve-foot shelf, and the regret is that the other AT would not rank well up to them. Eng fish literature is, however, as rich and cultured as any other, and it is not possible to find any other AZ books that could fittingly be lined up behind General Pettus select library of three.

Cotton Acreage This Year

The cotton crop grown last year did not bring in market satisfactory prices, but the entire crop, it is becoming plain, will be taken by the mills of the world, and a large crop will be called for this year. It will doubtless be forthcoming, although the weather at present does not lend itself to prepara- tions for planting. The weather will no doubt become better, and then it is safe to say the customary acreage will be devoted to cotton, always provided the farmers can finance the customary number of acres.
 The fertilizer sales in this state are heavier by about per cent than they were last year at the corresponding date. Some of the fertilizers pur- chased in this state will be used in the cultivation of corn, and in this way perhaps the cotton acreage will be kept down to that of last year.
 What is true of this state is prob- ably true of all other states in the cot ton belt There is, in short, no evi- dence at hand that the cotton acreage is to be reduced. "All that such talk says the New Orleans Picayune. "amounts to is the expression of the hope of every farmer that his neigh bor will curtail, not that the reduction in acreage can by any force of reason ing be made to apply to llimself.'
 Unfavorable weather may shorten the acreage-nothing else will. This is the situation at present, and the skilled observer is therefore watching the weather reports from the various states in the cotton belt.

ness Mems league has taken up the matter of having an appropriate cele- bration of the opening of Birmingham's new Terminal station" said a mem Der of the Commercial club. "The mat ter may not have seemed of enough importance to the railroads themselves to go to the trouble and expense of arranging a big celebration, but from the standpoint of public pride it is fitting that citizens should get be- hind the matter and see that proper appreciation is shown.
 "The importance of celebration from an advertising standpoint will be immense as the new station and the city of Birmingham will get publicity in a way that could not possibly be procured otherwise. We should an- nounce to the world that something un- usual has happened in Birmingham. April is the date that has been agreed upon and I look to see every citizen do his part to make the affair a success.n

A Word for the Horse,

Many persons do not know that the early spring days often give horses a feverish thirst, but one that can be easily satisfied" said one fond of horses.
 Every one driving or riding pleas- ure horse will find grateful recogni- tion of their kindness from the animal after a drive or canter if they are of fered a small amount of pure water in a clean vessel, say only a quart or two. Often horses are feverish and the bit increases the fever. Then, too, this is a very wise move to prevent colicking or cramps by the common practice of allowing an over-thirsty horse to take too much water as they are often per- mitted to do by careless stablemen.
 Another thing I would call attention to: Many persons have their horses clipped. Now, when such horses are standing hitched they should be cov- cred by a light linen or cotton blanket; this to keep them from being severely fretted by flies, and also to prevent catching cold, even if not apparently heated, for horses take colds from draughts or chilly winds where they are prevented by being tied from nov ing around as they do in their wild state."
