DRY FARMING DOUBLES
POPULATION OF COUNTY
Remarkable Influx of Desirable I'M
migration Into All Parts of
Eastern Colorado

Denver, Colo, Sept. 2.-The most
remarkable return made to the state
board of equalization is that of AS
SCISSOR William NJ Jones of Lincoln
county. According to his records the
population of the county has doubled
in the last year. The military poll
tax of one year ago was 400, while
it totals 808 for this year.
Jones called at the office of the
state board of equalization yesterday
after having worked night and day
for the past six weeks. He declares
the county commissioners would not
allow him a deputy and he could not
afford to pay the salary of one out
of his own salary.
During the past year." said Jones,
I'VE have had 635 homestead entries
on dry land. The influx of settlers
has been tremendous. We have re-
ceived them from Iowa and Minnesota
principally, and the settlers are large
ly made up of thrifty Scandinavians
They are raising small grains and
the crop this year has been excellent.
The county is forging ahead with tre-
mendous strides and promises to be
one OF the richest in the state"

TRUSTS CANNOT
FURNISH MILITARY SUPPLIES.

San Antonio, Tex. Sept. 2.-Accord-
ing to an order just received at Fort
Sam Houston from the war depart
ment, commercial interests called
trusts, are no longer eligible to com
pete in contracts made by the main
tenance departments of the United
States army. The tobacco trust is
known to be one of those named in the
order. 1t will. however, be permissi-
BILE to buy trust-made goods through
a third party.
The order has been issued with the
view of having the military establish
ment of the United States comply with
the provisions of the Sherman act ais
interpreted recently by the attorney
general of the United States. One Of
its results will be that the smaller
manufacturers and dealers will be in a
position now to compete successfully
for a share of the vast appropriations
made each year for the army.

ORDNANCE TESTS IN
KANSAS IN OCTOBER.
Will Take Place at Fort RiIey-Reeu-
lar Attacks Will Be Made on
the Redoubts.

San Antonio Texas, Sept. Much
speculation as to the outcome OF the
new ordnance tests is the order OF
the day among the officers at Fort
Sam Houston The tests will take
place at Fort Riley Kansas, in the
department of Texas, during October,
and are 10 establish whether. the new
field artillery material is as superior
to the present equipment as has been
claimed. Preparations for the tests
are now being male at the depart
ment headquarters at Fort Sam Hous-
ton.
The tests will consist of a regular
attack on the redoubts Of Fort Riley
and will be put on an active service
basis as closely as possible. The field
pieces TO be used have the following
calibers, 3 inches: IS inches: and A.
inches; howitzers, 3.S inches; Al
inches and six inches. 1t is thought
that the latter two will prove more
efficient than the five and 7 inch
pieces at the tests in 1907 made on
the same reuObts.
The tests Of that year proved very
interesting, and, as far as the ar1il-
lery employed was concerned, a total
failure. The inch proiectiles failed
to make the slightest impression on
the redoubt, proving that the works
were well suited for infantry shelter.
The ) inch shell used was also power
less against the redoubt. Though
containing twice the quantity OF eX-
plosive carried by the inch shell il
failed to penetrate the overhead pro-
lection Of the position. The 7 inch
hoWitzer shell, however, proved very
destructive.
The shrapnel efficiency of the vari-
Gus caliber will also be carefully test.
ed. Many army engineers and ord
nance officers as well as General Al
bert l.. Myer, department command
er, and his staff, will witness the
tests. Artillery officers at Fort Sam
Houston are confident that the new
guns will necessitate a material
change in fortification and trench.

result of a clash between Miss Hagner ana

House, and he once more resumed his duties

A change quite as radical as that between
the Mckinley and Roosevelt regimes is looked
forward to when Mrs. Taft usurps Mrs. Roose-
velt's place. Events of the past few weeks
have clearly demonstrated that Mrs. Taft is
not only a woman of grace and charm, but one
of brains as well. Long identified with official
Washington she has had ample opportunity to
study conditions there existing, and what wom-
an who has ever been an integral part of Off
cial Washington has not INDUCED In that
dream: eff l were the first lady of the land!"
This Mrs. Taft will be in every essential. She
has made a splendid start by allyhg herself
with that great organization, the National Civ
ic federation, and, taking d commanding lead
in that body, she has endeared herself to that
class of women who are sometimes slightingly
referred to as "strongminded." The mother or
two sturdy sons and a daughter, the latter now
a freshman at Bryn Mawr college, she must
appeal strongly to the mother type, for those
who know her best will readily testify that she

the manifold calls upon her time in the course
of her reign at the White House. In a recent
speech made in New York at a Civic fedora
ton meeting Mrs. Taft plainly showed that she
has brains and uses them without in any sense
being aggressive or pedantic. A glance at her
was sufficient to win to her side the hundreds
of women who attended that meeting with the
avowed purpose of dissecting their guest Of
honor to the minutest detail. Her personality
and general appearance won them instantly to
her side, even before she took the floor to
make her maiden speech in public.
Mrs. Taft talks well and looks well when
she is talking. Her smile has the charm of in
telligence, that quick flash of recognition, dis
tinct from the stereotyped smile peculiar to
women in official life on whom social duties
make many demands, even to that of continu-
ously Cooking pleasant" She has a generous
mouth and handsome teeth, a straight nose,
