Payne and the other leaders Of the ma |
ioritv were extremely anxious 10 re- I

The insurgents. however, were not

showed fight. Seeing the rebate i'm
periled. Mr.. Vreeland Of New York,
who has been engineering the monopo-
Tvs campaign in the house, moved, as
an amendment. to substitute an ad va
loren duty Of % per cent on crude OIL
and its products. As a substitute for
this amendment, Mr.. Norris OF Ne
braska moved to insert a duty Of per
cent: and on this motion the test vote
came. Mr.. Dalzeu OF Pennsylvania
made the point Of order that the mo-
ton could not be entertained, as it was
not included in the rules committee

Mr.. Cannon sustained the point Of or

speakers ruling, and, on division, he
was beaten by 162 to 173; and when

against him was increased TO 40. This,
too. in spite of the fact that Mr.. Can
non left the chair to take the floor and
plead for the Standard OILS interest
in spite Of his power to punish those
who voted against him, and in spite of
the certainty that the insurgents viii
be subject TO all the hazing the speak

proposed by Sir. Norris was adopted

Some Of the farmers down in the corn
belt are loading up with well-bred,
heavy feeders to feed for 4 short time,
but many buyers have learned from
experience that paying fancy prices is
dangerous and there is not much in
quiry for the highest-priced offerings.
Quite 4 number of buyers are inquiring
for the cheap stockers weighing around
700 pounds with view Of stocking them
through winter and carrying them next
summer on grass. A deleterious effect
upon Colorado Of the eastern drouth is
expected to be shown in the inability of
the Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa farm
ers to feed the 2-year-old cattle that
are ordinarily shipped from this state
by thousands in the fall. These cattle
will either have to be fed at home on
beet pulp or sold at sacrifice and it
looks as if we would have to take care
of more cattle the coming winter than
we did last year when we finished lo0.-
900 head of pretty good beeves.

To THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF

To THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF
DELTA:
Whereas, the President of the United
States, Hon. VIM. H. Taft, will on the
23rd day of September, in the presenc e
of the people of the Western Slope,
open the headgates of the Great Gunni-
son Tunnel at Montrose, Colorado. thus
celebrating the completion of the great
est irrigation tunnel of the world, and
Whereas, the people of the City of
Delta, and the inhabitants of Delta
County are intensely interested in that
momentous event, realizing the very
large benefits to be derived by this City
and County from the results of such
work,
Therefore, in accordance with the
request of many of our citizens, do l
3. P. Smith, Mayor of the City of
Delta, Colorado. proclaim the 23rd day
of September. A. d. 1909, PUBLIC
HOLIDAY, and reqest that on that day,
all the places of business be closed.
that the people refrain from their usual
vocations, and all join in making it a
day long to be remembered, and that
all who can shall attend the celebration
to be held in the City of Montrose,
Colorado, on that day.
The President of the United States
will arrive in Delta at l:25 p. m. and
will hold ten minutes reception at the
railroad station, and all who cannot
attend the Montrose celebration are
invited to be at the railroad station and
greet the President upon his arrival at
Delta.

the vigor, freedom from disease and
habits Of growth of the plant. etc., and
mark by stakes such plants as show q
distinct superiority over the general
crop. Before starting the digger each
marked hill should be dug separately by
hand and the tubers from those hills
which prove Of sufficient excellence
should be saved for seed. The second
year plant this selected seed alongside
the regular crop and give it the same
care as the remainder of the field. Dig
this part of the crop separately by hand
in the fall and select the best hills from
it for the special seed plot of the next
year using the remainder for the main
crop for general planting.
The third and following years harvest
the crop from the specially selected seed
by hand, saving the best hills for the
next years special plot and using the
remainder for the main crop planting.
Other things being equal, the closer the
selection of the best hills is performed
each year, the better will be the results
in subsequent crops. If the farmer is
an expert at picking out the best hills
before they are dug. the small seed
plots may be harvested with digger
each year after the best hills have been
taken out by hand, thereby reducing
the necessary hand digging to the
minimum.
Consistent seed selection will pay
larger profits than any other feature of
the potato growing industry. There are
often different strains of single vari-
ETY. of potatoes which differ from each
other in their characteristics-es
yield-more than do the different vari-
eties. Many varieties possess more
characteristics in common than do two
different strains of the same variety.
Hence, the Importance of well-bred
strain in any given variety for seed
purposes is evident. Select only such
varieties for late potatoes as will
mature early enough to give ample
time for digging in the fall under
normal conditions.

ter.
Iron and steel have been the barom-
eters of trade for the middle states, as
has textile manufacturing for the New
England states.
1t is significant and sufficiently force
full of present-day conditions to say
that fire and smoke issues forth today
from every furnace, mill and manufac-
turing plant from the gulf to Canada
and westward to the Mississippi, to-
gether with corresponding activity west
of that great eastern and western di-
vision line.
The industrial world does not antici-
pate that this activity will be spasmod-
ic, but universally it is expected that
this country is enterieg upon the great
est period of prosperity in its history.
Aside from the troubles of the
Pressed Steel Car Company at Pitts
burg (which is of local nature, none
of the other great iron or steel manu-
featuring plants being affected by that
strike) there is no labor trouble existant
anywhere throughout the eastern sec
ton of the country.
In three instances we noticed that an
advance had been given in wages in
great corporations unsolicited, and
there is universal peace and high antic-
ipations for activity for labor every
where.
More fortunate than the majority of
the sections visited in recent extended
trip, is this beautiful valley.
Notwithstanding considerable loss in
crops for the past two years, very
slight realization of the depression else
where has been experienced here.
1t is absolutely true that, had there
been average crops last year, we would
not have felt any commercial depression
whatever.
In financial circles confidence in the
future generally prevails and legitimate
enterprises do not have to go sand
bagging for money to give promotion
for same.
Indeed, it is true that money is seek
ing sane and safe Investment every
where. The banks have remarkable
balances, and depositors and investors
seek healthy securities from which te
derive safe profit.
Altogether there has not been pre-
valent such entire confidence in the
country's future prosperity for years.
Four or five years ago imitation and
overproduction gave financiers and in.

present that crash was inevitable, yet
the uncertainty of its arrival holding
men to the rack to take one more last
dip at the exaggerated profits then
being earned.
We regard such conditions as being
totally absent from the present ad-
vancement in commercial ahd industrial
life. Men are advancing cautiously,
even though the activity in building
operations is pushing them at rapid
gait.
We have every confidence that the
rise in the tide of conditions is upon a
most permanent and sound basis and
that everybody may, without overconfi-
dence, look forward for period of
wonderful uplift.

This Country Entering Upon a
Season of Great Prosperity.

The following editorial is from q
Democratic newspaper, the Grand juno
ton Sentinel. Aside from appearing a
fact, it is published in an optimistic
spirit, quite different from the groan-
ings of some editors opposed to the ad-
ministration, who seem to look at
everything in a sinister light and crave
panic and distress if it argues for polit-
ical reverses:
Indications of wave of unusual
prosperity are just as distinguishable
today throughout the entire eastern
country as were the danger signals of
distress in the financial weather in that
dismal period of October, 1907.
1t is hard for the majority of the peo-
pie in this very particularly favored
section of the country to realize how
truly there was panic, without they
have travelled from home considerably
in the past two years.
Every great manufacturing industry
has lain dormant during that period
and there has been no advancement
whatever at all encouraging to labor
and the laboring world.
All that has changed, and there is
booming prosperity in every line of

Improuing the Spud Crop.

Little attention is usually given now
adays by farmers to the selection of
their seed tubers. Many plant potatoes
which are really of no value except for
stock feed. Yet the potato crop will
give as great or greater return for care
in selecting seed than any other crcp.
A great variation in the tubers from
hills growing near each other may often
be noticed at digging time. One hill
may have a large number of tubers of
uniform size and shape and few small
ones. If the large tubers are selected
from the bin for planting they are as
apt to have come from poor hills as
from good ones. Hence the plant and
not the single tuber is the proper unit
of selection and the selection must be
made in the field where the whole plant
can be examined. When potatoes are
dug by hand this is easily done. Two
rows are usually thrown together in
digging, and where good hill is found
the tubers may be thrown in the oppo-
site direction to be picked up separately
for seed.
When machine diggers are used. seed
selection can be practiced with but
little extra trouble, according to the
following plan: First year, before dig
ging, examine the plants of the general
field crop, giving special attention to
