when we further consider that the

and the requirements Of this branch
Of the industry are much larger than
ever before. Large plants are in 0Der-

largest Of these ~bi-products is pea

fully demonstrated and it's develop

wholesome and nutritious food and
has largely taken the place Of meat
and has a large sale, especially
throughout the North n West.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Washington, Oct. 6.-Back from

east, Major James F. Chase, chief of
the bureau of public works in the
Philippine government, is in Wash
ington, consulting the officials in re-
gard to future work in the archlpel-
ago.
Instructed by the insular govern
ment with the seventeen-year task
of constructing 5000 miles of ma
cadam highways in the islands, he
has designed and constructed as chief
engineer of the city of Manila, the
water works system and the sewer
age system that converted the capital
into thriving metropolis.
Last year there were constructed
300 miles of roadway, from the road
fund, composed of the insular govern
ment appropriation, the tax imposed
by the provinces, and is per cent of
the internal revenue collected there
in. BY setting aside from this fund
a portion which will Increase from
year to year for maintenance and by
making it misdemeanor punishable

official to allow the roads in prov

kept up well, Major Case says.
The new Manila water system sup

a reservation and withdrawn from
settlement.
The sewerage system comprises
fifty miles of sewers. ranging from
seventy-two to eighty inches in size.
The sewerage pump is out into the
sea a mile and a quarter. The pump
ing stations will handle $4,000 900 gal
Ions of sewerage a day.

with the idea in view OF bringing to

is much superior to that from any

This fund will be handled by the
board of directors and the advisory
board. Mr.. B. F. Rockafellow Is the
member of the advisory board from
your section of the state and we do
not doubt that your community will
be satisfied with his actions as a
member of the board.
Will you kindly make this state
ment to your people In order that the
understanding may be perfect? Apple
picking time is now on and we trust
that you will handle the Apple Show
subject enthusiastically in order that
your growers may not neglect to save
such exhibits as will be representative
of your production. The publicity OF
the next three weeks will mean more
to the growers than any amount
thereafter.

"A NO. l." KING OF
AMERICAN HOB0ES, MAKES
ANOTHER VISIT TO CANON

"A No. l." the famous gentleman
short time Monday afternoon while
making one of his periodical trips
across the continent; an undertaking
apparently. no more serious for him
than the journey of fly around an
apple. Although possessed of a sur
name in common with the rest of hu-
manity he has discarded its use and is
known from one end of the country to
the other as "a No. l." cognomen he
adopted for professional purposes.
Civilization has developed some
queer specimens of the genus hobo
and "a No 1" stands in the front rank
of its freaks. In spite of the fact that
he is comparatively a young man, per-
haps, not yet forty years of age, he is
veteran in experience and knows by
sight most of the distinguished men
and women of the land. He keeps a
careful record of the distance he trav-
els and ascertained by computation
In this office yesterday that the total
since he set out on his strange career
was 461,700 miles, almost equal to
twenty trips around the earth at the
equator. "a No. l. was born in San
Francisco of German parentage, but
he belongs to no place nor nationality.
He is sort of cosmopolite and is as
much at home in Seattle, Jacksonville,
Florida, Portland, Maine, or San
Diego, California, as he is in San
Francisco or New York. He has been
travelling continuously for twenty-six
years and has visited every city, viii
lage and town In the United States, a
distinction that but few men can
claim. In most of them he has left his
mark, the symbolism of which is
everywhere recognized and under
stood by the fraternity of which he is
the leading exemplar and exponent
"A No. 1" carries with him a brush
and a small pot of paint and attaches
his signature to fences and dead walls
along his line of travel whenever op-
portunity offers. 1t may be seen ON a
thousand railroad tanks between the
Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and
the Canadian and Mexican frontiers.

Jack London, and travelled with him

In view of the fact that many Can

Editor Record. Canon City, Colo.
Dear Sir:-At a meeting of the
members of the Advisory Board of the
Colorado National Apple Exposition,
held in Denver last week. the fact
was brought out that people in the
fruit sections OF the state would like
to know what is to be done with any
surplus funds that there might be,
provided the apple show is a flnan-

I therefore write you to state that
in case there should be a surplus,
said surplus has been pledged to a
fund to be used in advertising the

Attorney GENERAL
STATES OPINION

Denver. Oct. 6.-In view of the pc
culiar turn the investigation before
the legislative committee has taken in
connection with the state land board
affairs. Assistant Attorney General
Brinson today asked that the position
of the attorney generals office be
made public.
He stated that so far as he was con-
cerned or 80 far as the office was
concerned, 1t had nothing to do with
any factional fight in the Democratic
party and was not trying to ascer-
tain facts to use either for or against
the Speer or Patterson wings.
All the attorney generals office is
trying to do is to find out IL thero
was any fraud committed in the man
agement of the state land board dur
ing recent years and IL fraud was
committed, who did it, and who was
benefited through its commission.
Mr.. Brinson does not believe that
the matter as to whether Edward
Heating entered into a deal to give
the support OF the Rocky Mountain
News to any land project. has any
thing to do with the Investigation.
On the other hand, he does not be-
lieve that any member of the COM
mittee has tried in any way to pre-
vent all the facts from being brought
out, but he says every possible op-
portunity has been given for making
public his acts and every member of
the committee has contributed his
part toward It.
Even though there is a question as
to whether on not the committee can
continue to serve under the law. Mr..
Brinson stated that II the commission
needs and wants the assistance of the
attorney generals office. 1t will be
given and no question raised con-
cerning the technical claim that the
commission has died.
Very little developed in the general
fight yesterday. In this mornings
News Mr.. Keating published a lengthy
denial of all the charges made in the
Castor affidavit against him, and gev-
eral statements from men mentioned
in the affidavit are given to disprove
the charges.

RAILWAY men OPPOSE
CORPORATION TAX

Denver, Oct. 6.-Active opposition
to the corporation tax supported b,
President Taft here less than two
weeks ago was launched today at the
opening session of the American
Street and Interurban Railway Man
ayers association. President James
F. Shaw of Boston in his annual ad-
dress today ranged himself unequiv-
ocally with opponents OF the cor
poration tax and declared that un-
questionably 1t will be carried to the
courts for decision on its constitu-
poses an additional burden upon the
holders of corporation stock while 1t
does not affect the income of bond
holders.
Mr.. Shaw advocated the proposed
amendment to the constitution giving
congress the power to levy a tax on
incomes at least in cases of emer-
gency." holding it as more just and
more likely to reach possessors of
large incomes while not materially
affecting others. Present sentiment
indicates the adoption of strong reso-
lutlons setting forth the associations
opposition to the corporation tax
before adjournment.
Among the important departmental
meetings today were those of claim
agents and engineers. Claim agents
discussed the problem of obtaining
witnesses to accidents and the rela-
ton of companies to the press in case
OF accidents.
