Concrete Tests.

During the past winter the Depart

College has carried on, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Geo. S. Luon, an impor-
the strength of a variety of mixtures
concrete. AS a result of these tests,
which have been made in Richie test
ing machine, very large sum of
money has been saved in the construc-
tion of water power plant in the
central part of the state. These in
vestigations are being continued and it
is expected that material savings in
money will result directly from the
information obtained.

The Editors Compensation.

The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well avoid
treading on somebody's toes continu-
ally; must expect to be censured often
for unintentional failures; must expect
hard work and little thanks; must ex-
pect to be called coward because he
does not "pitch into" everything that
somebody thinks is wrong and fool if
he speaks out too plainly on public
evils. He must expect to grind other
peoples axes and turn the grindstone
himself Still, we think it is one of
the noblest professions on earth, the
one in which the earnest man can do
the most good to his fellow man and in
which an honorable man can WELD
much power for good. -Arcanum Co. }

Should Be Reorganized.

A number of Republican newspapers
of Colorado are vigorously clamoring
for reorganization of the State Com.
mittee.
They argue that dissatisfaction last
fall caused the defeat of the Republican
party in Colorado, which appears to be
largely true.
Colorado is naturally Republican
State and the bulk of political trouble
in all parties arises in Denver, where
the growth is perennial.
Denver feels that, because of its size
it should control the politics of the
state There most of the work is done
and there the political campaign plans
have been laid But the elections have
shown for number of years that Dem
yer really cuts but little figure in the
results. The army of voters are
lined up and the fight is made red-hot
on both sides, with practically stand
off in the election count, the majorities
for any party being but nominal. The
decisive majorities at a state election
are in the counties outside of Denver.
1t is not satisfactory to the voters of
the state to select man for United
States Senator mainly because he is
able to put up money with which to
carry on campaign. 1t worked with
Mr.. Guggenheim and it worked with
Mr.. Hughes, and, while both Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Guggenheim may
make surprisingly good senators, the
voters-both Republican and Demo-
cratic-are getting to point where
they are going to demand something
different.
AS matter of fact the people want
more of voice in the question of who
shall be their candidates, and. in so far
as the Republicans are concerned, they
want more to do with the planning of
their campaigns, in order that the
disaster of last fall may not be repeated
two years hence.

Grape Growing.

Grape growing has not been at
tempted in any large way by Colorado
fruit growers, but it has been proven
that the industry is profitable, even
when attempted in an amateur way.
1t is an industry that offers quick re-
turns and it appeals to the man who is
waiting for his young orchard to come
into bearing. also to the grower
who likes to have variety in fruit
growing. Men who have followed
grape growing persistently enough to
have become practical grape growers
are rare. In western Colorado, at
least, grape-growing has been carried
on in rather haphazard way by the
majority of the growers; or possibly
we could express the situation better
by saying, in half-hearted way The
grower has not been altogether to
blame; he has been at loss to know
what varieties to plant, how to grow
them, or how to market the fruit after
part of the state the growers have
been planting largely foreign grapes,
those of the vinifera class. Many per-
picking problems have come up and
many growers have become discouraged
In the eastern part of the state the
growers have been growing native
American varieties and, possibly, with
better success.
SOILS AND LOCATIONS.
The grape must be planted upon a
soil where the moisture conditions may
be well controlled during the ripening
period if it is to be expected to ripen
it's fruit properly. To ship well, and
to keep well, grape must be thorough
ly ripened, it is hardly possible to get
them overripe. A well drained, sandy
soil is best. one that will dry out quick
ly as soon as the irrigation water is
withheld.
PREPARATION OF LAND AND PLANTING.
The common instruction given for
the preparation of the land for the
young orchard would apply equally
well to the preparation of the proposed
vineyard site. The ground should be
plowed, preferably in the fall. and put
in first class condition. Ground that is
plowed in the spring should be vel
worked down with the disc and harrow
before it is planted.
The vines should be set at about the
same depth at which they stood in the
nursery. possibly little deeper. They
should be pruned back so as to leave
only two or three eyes of the growth
of one year-ol wood. The yearling
plant properly pruned will consist OF
the main body (the original cutting) ant
generally one spur Of new wood carry
ing two or three buds.

Space Graft.

Newspaper men, as rule have but
two things to sell-space and subscrip-
ton and it would be just as consist
ent to ask your grocer for dozen or
anges ''just to fill up" as to ask the
editor for dozen lines in his paper
just to boost your business with the
idea you are doing kindness in helping
to "fill up" space. Try getting free
dinner at the hotel just to make show
of business for the house. Rush

Commission Form, of Government.

The first city in Colorado to adopt
the commission form of government
which has been tried in some states for
a few years, is Colorado Springs, which
has just donned its new municipal at
tire and is strutting around in all sorts
of moral poses.
Grand Junction voted for a commits
sion charter this spring and will hold
its election for city officers in July,
when it will be Colorado's second COM
mission plan city. Pueblo has been
campaigning for the same thing but
has not yet secured it, and some Den
yer papers are beginning to advocate
the commission plan.
The advantages claimed are that it
does away with politics in city govern
inert; Il at it is more economical; that
it gives the citizens the righ. to recall
a hired official whenever a sufficient
number conclude he is not properly per
forming his duties.
The commission plan sounds well and
the cities which have tried it for few
years seem to be satisfied with it.
However it is new yet and when IN
more general use better idea can be
had of whether it will be entirely sat
isfactory or not. Sometimes an official
needs protection against the public as
well as the public against an official.
