A city magazi ne comes to us
with the boast that country pa
pers gained $4,000 subscribers
last year by clubbing with it.
And, incidentally it would like
to have them do it all over again.
1t fails to state that these news
papers must also have increased
its circulation 50,000-more no
doubt than their aggregate cir
culation or that it also cost
them the humiliation of offering
their own publications at a dis
count in order to get the city
publication so large a list that it
can afford to be offered much
cheaper to subscribers than they
can print a home paper. The
home paper which devotes its
time to its field merits the pat
ronage of it's home people, with
no other inducement to offer for
subscribers. When it goes to
clubbing, both itself and its pat
rons usually feel the weight of
the club. The citizen of a town
or community who does not feel
a genuine, unselfish pride in a
good home newspaper, is lacking
in his makeup.

dope" Brains.

1t was said of old that writ
ers were born, not made" The
necessity, however, for them to
be born, "has largely been done
away with by the advance of
modern civilization, ingenuity
and invention. AS for instance,
the modern writer of fiction
seems to depend much upon the
amount of dope" used to pro-
duce the 'best selling booksv'
DIR. Doyle injected cocaine into
the veins of Sherlock Homes
so he could endure the stress of
his deductions. Excessive drug
users are said to be common
among fiction writer's to speed
their brain wheels up to the
flights of imagination necessary
to score public and press
agents of the advertising pub
fishing houses.
Some-just now and then one
of these writers only admit to
sticking their feet in cold water
to induce blood to their brains.
One, a heather" Chinee, was
caught lying on revolving plat
form, feet to the center and head
out, with a wet band passing
across him as the platform re-
1volved. In this position he
thought out the plot for "Chink"
stories which were being pub
lished and making him famous.
In the face Of this proof who
dare say that China is not ad.
vancing.
But to the reading public, ir
its more sane moments, the de
nouncement must be received
J with some astonishment. To re
alize that the worlds creates

1t still remains to readers of
fiction that the dope" habit
does not effect all alike, so they
can expect ordinary creations in
fiction characters, some of which
may even be comparable with
those of life.
The moral, apparently, is that
any line of reading-or writing
either-or work or play, can be
over-indulged, which leads to
the query: Were not our prim-
tive ancestors as well or better

fore have been greatly pleased
with it, most of the number con-
Tossing so great a satisfaction
with the instructions received
that they want another and still
another, as the winters come and
go, especially as the cost is so
little. The domestic scie n ce
course is also to be given at Delta

ladies who wish to take it, and
for this the tuition is but dol
lar. 1t is claimed for this course
that it has proven exceptionally
popular with the ladies where
tried in other towns, and it is
hoped that a good class may be
in attendance at the Delta course,
which will be given at l. o. o. F.

will be given at the Court House.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Dec. 28-Good cattle were 25 to
40 cents higher here last week
than the preceding and:the me-
dium grades closed strongsto a
quarter higher. The receipts
were very light owinglto the in
tervening Christmas holiday and
under good demand everything
was picked up inFshort order.
Packers here are buying all the
good fat cattle they can get now
and putting them in coolers in
anticipation of shortage later on
as the number of cattle on feed
is known to be short over the
country, and this policy on their
part makes a first class market
for good fat cattle. Few good
steers were offered. most of the
stuff here selling at 81. 90 to 81. 70
with choice steers this morning
at SIS. Is. Cows sold up to $500,
several punches bringing this
price late in the week. Prices
ranged from this down to So. 35
on the better grades and fair to
good cows sold at $2.75 to So. 80.
Feeding steers brought good
prices most of the good to choice
going at $500 to $4.60 with one
bunch of choice Routt county
steers selling to go to feed lots
at $500. Fair to good ste ers
went at So. 40 to $500. Receipts
today were 1910 head. Market
10 cents higher again and all
sold in short order.
The fact that cattle receipts at
the Denver market for the year
1903 will show an increase over
any previous year in the history

year of about lis, 900 head while

That the trusts should be reg
ulated there is no question. In
his assertion that "they should
be more strongly regulated"
Mr.. Taft has struck a popular
chord in advance. No aggrega-
tion of capital or capitalists ought
to be permitted to conflict with
fair competition, and if the Re-
publican or any other party ad-
ministration can place them up
on a basis of control which will
render competition with their
lines open and safe to anyone
else in the field, that administra-
tion will accomplish so great and
valuable service to the country
as to make all men rise up anG

with last year, indicates that
Denver IS rapidly taking her
rightful place among the b g

with the stock shipper. Price s
prevailing here all year have

Among the growing population
of the times there are thousands
who are looking for new homes
in new or old localities. They
want a change and, of course
they want as good as there is
offered. Naturally they will not
all be suited, but they will keep
on trying. This is one Of the
things which will help always to
create a lively market for homes,
keeping values upward and firm.

BANDIT NEVER
CONFINED HERE

Specu alton is still rife among the
authorities of San Francisco regard
in. the identity of the man who was
wearing a hat from the Clark Kirk
man store of this city, when he shot
I'D the town there, resulting in Tia.
killing of a man. From a picture of
the prisoner, which was obtained b.
Warden Reed, he declares that he does
not recognize the face and further
states that such person was not con-
fined in the penal institution
Though the hat which was found,
has been identified beyond a doubt as
belonging to Omar L. Anderson of this
city, he cannot remember who took it
from him. He said this morning, how
ever, that he was last wearing it in
Seattle and that it was stolen from
him while there. 1t was a peculiar
green fedora with d bow in the rear
and could be easily identified Mr..
Anderson was unable to account for
the fact that suspicion at first point
ed to ]. Street of Toppenish, fer this
person, he stated had never worn any
of his hats. The hat that was sup
posed to have been taken in this city
was q black one and the owner now
remembers that it was removed from
the /. O. O. F. temple when he was
attending a dance there.

strines are in progress 1t is asserted
by the union leaders that, while the
ostensible purpose of the constabulary
is to preserve the peace" the con-
stables are always to be found hght-
ing on the side of the wealthy mining
and manufacturing companies ana
against the strikers. 1t is proposed to
force all candidates for legislative
honors to pledge themselves to vote
for the abolition of the constabulary.
Another matter under consideration
is a plan for amending laws now IN
force. which permits court injunct1ons
and prohibiting labor day celebrations
in boroughs.
The convention will draw up legis-
lative labor platform which the state
federation will carry into every legis-
lative district both at the June prima-
ries and at the next November cleo
ton, when members of the 1911 legis-
iature are chosen. Among other sub
jects that the labor federation at this
early stage is preparing to inject In
the legislative fight are child labor
measures, factory inspection laws and
employers liability bills. 1t is also
possible that the sentence of Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison will be a sub
iect for bitter discussion by the ocn-
yention. as the call denounces gov
eminent by injunction and Judge made

which is signed by the entire executive
board of the State Federation of La
