While w. G. Bayles, miner living
alone in a cabin south of Victor, was
i'll a few nights since, burglars en-
tered and ransacked the place, taking
considerable property of value. Bayles
to watch the burglars work and his
loss was not made known until the
doctor made his regular call.
Capt. William NJ. Morris, Colorado
Springs mining engineer, has invent
ed a propeller which he claims can be
used on warships or on aeroplanes.
He has written the navy and war de-
partments concerning it, but received
no answer. He then addressed the
British and Japanese governments,
and has just received an answer from
the London war office saying that his
patent will be investigated.
Robert E. Pratt of Denver and Rob-
ert E. Clarke of Meeker have finished
the work of resurveying some 1,400
square miles of government land in
Baca county, under special contract
from the United States surveyor gen.
eral. The original survey was found
to be inaccurate, and with the -re-es-
tablishment of the lines it is antici-
pated that there will be a movement
to organize a large irrigation project.
using the waters of Two Buttes and
Horse creek as bases.
An experiment to test the value Of
Colorado grown feeds. for which the
General Assembly made an appropri-
alton of $4,000, was set on foot at
Colorado Agricultural College a lew
days since when the committee on
farm stock and veterinary science
recommended the purchase of live
stock for experimental purposes.
Thirty-three steers, 600 lambs and 100
hogs will be bought. California feed
barley, instead of corn. will be used
as a basis for the experiment This
variety is the standard barley grown
in the irrigated sections of this state.
According to figures compiled yes
terday by Secretary of State James 5.
Pearce, the receipts of his office for
last month, $22,14S.70, were nearly
double what they were for the same
month a year ago. The payment of
flat taxes by several corporations ac-
counts for part of the increase.
Attorneys ana clients may make
publication of official notices in any
legal newspaper, regardless of the or
ders of courts, according to decision
rendered by District Judge Shackle-
ford at Montrose.

PRINCIPAL SALES IN PUEBLO
COUNTY, NORTH OF CITY
OF PUEBLO.

Denver.-Prices higher than those
set by the states own appraisers were
obtained by the land board Wednes-
day In a big sale of land in Pueblo,
Routt and Weld counties.
In Pueblo county, where the largest
sales took place, land was advertised
for $12 an acre just east of Teller pas.
ture, where Senator Teller is planning
a big irrigation system. This land
was sold for as high as S2250 an
acre, and one man, r. C. Proctor,
bought 2,700 acres at an average price
of SIS an acre.
1t is expected that the land will be-
come very valuable as soon as water
is on it, and a new agricultural dis
trict developed. The total sales
amounted to 10000 acres, tie sale
prices ranging from SIS to $225O an
acre. OF this amount, $4,000 acres
were located in Pueblo county, north
of the town of Pueblo.
The Routt county land was located
away from the railroad, some of it as
far north as the Wyoming line. The
rest of the land was in Weld county,
where the sale was comparatively
small. The land office was crowded
all the afternoon with bidders.

President Taft Quotes Rhyme.

Birmingham, Ala.-President Taft
in an address here expressed again
his good will toward the South. While
doing so, an old graybearded man in
the crowd called out:
"Gnd bless you; we all love you!"
The President smiled and replied:
That reminds me of the old quota
toin: 1t may be all right to dissem-
BILE your love, but why did you kick
me down stairs But l have no fault
to find on that score. The fact that
you had SO little to do with putting
me where l am makes me appreciate
the warmth and sincerity OF your re-
ception all the more"

Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of ~ cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
of the reader.
1t stands for Law and Order in
the State-for Peace, Prosperity
and Happiness in the Home.

Greeley Buys Idaho Potatoes.

Denver.-A Greeley special to The
Republican says: Because farmers
are holding back their potatoes, Gree
ley dealers are filling orders by buy
ing Idaho potatoes and shipping them.
During the last week 10 carloads of
Idaho potatoes have been received
here and sent on to Texas and Okla
homa. All the potatoes were in
spe cted here and pronounced first
class. Dealers say they can obtain
Idaho potatoes cheaper than the To-
cal product. Potatoes dropped to 65
cents today and farmers refused to
sell freely.

exchange, a rival in his own state.
whose latest achievement is detailed
as follows: The produce ion of a
white strawberry which bears all the
year round, instead of certain sea-
sons only, is claimed by Hugo III.
Lilienthal, a Berkeley horticultural
lst. He is a German, who has pro-
dpced various creations Of an unu-
sual kind in the way of fruit and
flowers. The white strawberry. his
most recent creation, is the result
OF a long series of experiments with
crossing varieties under different
conditions. Lilienthal claims to have
produced two distinct varieties of
berries, which will bear thu ough the
ful! year, making a Christmas berry
easily obtainable. One of these IS
white, and the other red. and both
ar said TO be of an excellent flavor.

REMARKABLE
DECREASE IN
DREAD DISEASES
Statistics Published in Eng
land Show Fewer Deaths
From Typhoid, Scarlet,
tuberculosis and Small
pox. ) -

London, June 81 The decrease In
the death rate in England, Wales
and Scotland is strikingly shown by
statistics just published Ia the form
OF blue book by the London Coun-
~ Council. The report shows that
in every case OF contagious disease
the decrease has been from one
quarter to one-half per cent, while
in some cases, diseases that fifty
years ago were invariably fatal have
been practically wiped out, notably
in the case OF typhus fever, only
two deaths from this disease having
been reported last year.
This record is due to the great
work that has been carried Oh
throughout the country, IN the clean
ing out of pestholes in the tene-
ment districts, the opening of alleys
and courts, the enforcement: of the
building laws and the compulsory
removal of fever patients to the
hospitals. Even tuberculosis, the
terrible disease which cven today
'laims l,237 victims per 100000
OF the population every year, is
steadily losing it's grip, the annual
mortality having been reduced fro N
2,221 per 100000, forty years ago.
Here are the figures taken from
he report:
Typhoid or enteric fever, from an
,verage of 374 deaths per 900 900
1915 now claims only 113
'eaths yer 100000 year.
Smallpox. the terrible scourge
