In this connection the weather bu-
reau today issued special warning to
the fruit growers not to be off their
guard. as there was every likelihood
that one and possibly several more
smudgings would be necessary.
Further examination OF the fruit
buds confirms the earlier report that
80 per cent of crop In the smudged
area will be harvested this fall.
From other points of the western
slope encouraging reports have been
received today. The orchards In Mon.
trose and Delta counties. although they
experienced severe frost, are be
lieved TO have come out practically un-
harmed. Last night was mild In those
sections, but not even on the coldest
nights was smudging resorted to. Few
of the growers, In fact, have facilities
for smudging. The buds are far be-
hind what they are here. and at the
present time are practically immune.
A Canon City dispatch Sunday night
says: The temperature did not go be
low 2s degrees here last night. and
for that reason small apprehension was
felt among the fruit growers In this
section OF the state. The situation was
closely watched, however. and while n
majority did not smudge. there were
some who took extra precautions. 1t
is not felt that any damage whatever
occurred here last night.
A Rocky Ford dispatch says. The
frost here last night was not as bad
as the previous night and very little
uneaslness was felt for the fruit crop.
There was practically no smudging
done near Rocky Ford last night.
though the temperature was little
lower near Manzanola. and some
smudging was done In that neighbor'
hood. The fruit crop In this section
is believed TO have come off with small
loss.
A dispatch from Pennington. n. NJ,
says: The cold wave that struck here
last night and the night before injured
the aprlcots and some OF the more ten.
der plums. The peaches were also In
Jured, but the orchardists here claim
that sufficient buds are left uninjured
to make crop
Friday night seems to have been the
worst In all sections and most OF the
damage to fruit was done then.

tends into the ground to an unknown
depth. Experts who have inspected
this wonderful store of building stone
declare that the mountain contains
sufficient granite to supply the whole
United States with building stone for
200 years.
This mountain of granite came into
commercial prominence at the time
plans were adopted for the construc-
tion of the 100000 state capitol at
Austin. The building commissioners
were charged under the law to select
for the necessary material when the
owners Of Granite mountain sought to
have their product selected for the
purpose. A geologist was sent to the
quarries by the commission to inves-
tigate the quality of the granite. and
he made report that it was unfit for
building purposes. The owners Of the
mountain Immediately sent samples of
the granite to experts in various por-
tions OF the United States, and the re-
ports Of these experts were unani-
mously favorable. The state capitol
building commissioners thereupon Sc
lected this stone for the big building.
The owners Of the quarries furnished
the granite free OF cost to the state.
the contractors for the building pay
ing the expenses of quarrying, cutting
and transportation. In quarrylng the
granite for the state capitol building
300 convicts were employed and in
cutting and polishing the stone 200
Scotch granite workers found employ
ment. The contractor was fined s10.-
900 for importing these Scotchmen In
violation OF the foreign contract labor
law.
The jetties at Galveston. by which
means that port secured permanent
deep water. were built Of granite from
this mountain. Large shipments now
are being made to Aransas Pass.
where the stone is being used In the
construction OF the United States gov
ernment jetties for that future deep
water port. The great sea wall at Gal
weston, which has length of more
than fve miles. is built OF the same
material.
One popularity OF this mountain of
stone which makes 1t different from
all other quarries is that the forma'
tion lies In layers. varying in thick
ness from four inches to 20 feet. In
quarrying. II large blocks are desired.
they are taken from one OF the thick
layers. II smaller pieces are wanted
a quarry OF less thickness is opened.
1t is said that on account OF these
natural seams In the stone the ex-
pense Of extracting these blocks is
less than In any quarry In the world.

injustice to the great middle class of
people. He had to obey blindly.
The result has been that there are
an increasing number OF protests be-
ing filed against the change. The
White House always has been access

removed from car lines and there is
neither shade nor seats upon which
