STARR CAPTURED

On last Friday Sheriff Simpson,
accompanied by an Oklahoma officer,
left for Phoenix, Arizona, in which
vicinity they had succeeded in locat-
ing Henry Starr, wanted for the
Amity bank robbery. Mr.. Simpson
has done considerable work on this
case since taking charge OF the
sheriiT's Office but has wisely kept
the fact strictly to himself, and when
he left here last Friday only two or
three, whom it was necessary to in
form, knew of his purpose or destin-
alton.
Word was received this evening
that he had his man and would bring
him back to Lamar in a day or two.
There are several large rewards out
for Starr, but it is most probable that
he will be tried in Lamar, as Prowers
county has the strongest case against
him.
The daring daylight robbery Of the
Amity bank last July is still fresh in
the minds OF all our citizens and 1t
will make everyone feel safer to know
that the officers can capture such
criminals. Register.

Many persons feel offended because
their c0mings and goings are not
mentioned while those OF others are,
and wonder what the matter can be.
The explanation of the matter is that
the editor means to be impartial, but
some escape mention. The likes and
dislikcs of an editor have nothing to
do with IL, and while IL Is not pre-
tended that the editor is more than
human he knows that the success OF
his journal depends on his fairness
and impartiality to all. 1t is the best
way always when notice is desired
to mention IL TO the editor, or COM
municate through the postoilice. No
one feels worse about any seeming
neglect or partial performance OF duty
than the editor himsclf.-Troy (Kan.)

DEWBERRY GROWING IN THE
STATE OF COLORADO,

A dcwbcrry plantation, In good
bearing, will yield from three hum
dred to four hundred crates of berries
an acre. Mr.. Baldrdge's patch, set
on four and c-half acres of ground,
but with enough plants for five acres,
was set in 1903. In 1904 it yielded 125
crates OF berries; in 1905, l,So0 crates;
in 1906, 1880 crates, and in 1907, 1000
crates. 1t would probably be hard to
give a satisfactory estimate OF the
cost Of production of dewberries. The
crate costs the grower 27 cents, and
picking 35 cents a crate, plus probably
5 cents for overseeing and Grating the
fruit. Estimating the cost Of produc-
tion at 81 a crate, this would leave %
cents crate for other work. With a
yield of $50 crates an acre, this would
mean an allowance of $S0.5O for other
labor, irrigations, cultivating, pruning
covering, etc. Possibly this is not
high enough; but granting that the
cost of production is 81 25 a crate,
which is surely high enough, the
grower still nets a return Of 81 crate.
At present the average price paid for
dewberries has been 1925 crate,

Bulletin No. 1877, by o. B. Whipple,

Kansas City Stock Yards, May II.
Cattle run here last week was 81, 900
head, fully AS many rs in any recent
week, but demand was equal to the
supply, and sellers rejoiced in an ad-
vance of 10 to 20 cents for the week
on all classes, Supply today is $1,000
head, which includes 1000 head OF
stockcrs cnroute to the Northwest,
and not on the market. Steers are
steady to 10 lower today, cows and
stOckers and feeders steady. Offerings
from the West today include ship
mcnt of Mostyn hay fed steers from
Ouray, Colorado, l340fb at $500, and
other hay fed steers from Colorado at

string of 93Oib steers from Plainview,
Texas, at 5000 for the big end, balance
at 1915. Some OF the Lockhart steers
sold at So. 20, Others at S6.65 last week,
pest figures for these cattle this sea-
son. Supply of range stockers and
feeders has been light lately, few
feeders at s. 30 and S5.35, stockers at
4.
feeders sold at S5.95 today, Indicating
strength of market for feeders. Coun-
try buyers are more willing to pay
high prices for feeders than a few
weeks ago, account of tirmness of cat

half fat steers, in an effort to cheaper
up droves of high priced heavy fed
steers.

In the above diagram, we will
assume that La Junta, Colorado, falls.
in section A, while Trinidad, Colorado,
falls in section M. The distance is
then determined between the centerS
of section A and NJ, and the rate be-
tween these two points is based on
this air line mileage. (See black line.
BY the dotted line is shown the,
route of our pole line, which, of course,
is considerably further, and clearly
illustrates the difference between the
old and the new basis of figuring long
distance tariffs.
1t has been rather difficult { o decide
that such schedule based on 'air
line" distances would prove satisfac-
tory to the Company in this peculiarly
mountainous country, where, for the
most part, our lines have to follow the
valleys or wagon roads, often IN very
circuitOuS route.
However, since it seems that this
method is the only fair one upon
which to base long distance rates, we
believe we have made no mistake in
adopting it. We hope the many re-
ductions which it incurs, will encour-
age a heavier patronage between the
points where such reductions are
made. and that this, in time, will
offset the loss which we expect at
present will result from this rate
change.
When we commenced to build up
our Long Distance System we knew
very little about how to do 1T. The
telephone business was new and we
found that we had to be the pioneers
in mountainous telephone line en-
gineering. Because of these conditions
1pt md
others too law. in view of what we
now know. The present re-adjustment
corrects both these points and makes
them consistent and fair.
1t Is very essential that the people
in any town where some of the rates
may be raised shall bear in mind that
upon the whole their toll line rates
have been lowered. In other words II
the whole State and country are to be
brought to your local telephone door,
1t can only be done by means OF rates
