RAPID WORK ON
TEMPORARY DAM

There are no new developments to-
day in the situation on the stub ditch.
but reports received from Palisade
indicate that the work of building the
temporary dam is progressing very
rapidly. Several car loads of timber
have arrived. and 1t is hoped to have
water running in a few days. The
statement of the situation published
yesterday by The Sentinel has at
tracted much attention, and many of
the growers have declared that the
statement was most conservative and
accurate.
Today's Palisade Tribune says:
"A section of cribbing. made of
logs firmly boted together. was put
in at the headgates of the stub ditch
the other day and anchored in the
river. Yesterday, another section
was added to it, forming the nucleus
for temporary dam. Two car loads
of timbers have arrived, and the
work will be pushed until sufficient
water is diverted into the canal to
operate the pumps and furnish a sup
ply for the users. 1t is hoped to have
this work completed within few
days.
"A section of the cribbing has also
been put in at the headgates of the
Price ditch, and two more will be
added at once"

CROPS
Report Issued Shows That Colorado

Will Be the Biggest Ever.

dollars in the value of the pro-
ducts of Colorado farms and or
chards this year, rs compared
with the yield i'm other years, is
estimated by the secretary of
agriculture in his crop reports
for July. Just made public.
Vastly increased acreage under
cultivation is shown; the condi-
ton of every crop at this time
Is far better than it was n year
ago, the fruit crops being cs-
pecialiy far ahead of the show
ing in 1908, and prices of every
product, Notwithstanding the
increased production that seems
assured, have advanced material
ly in the year.
The acreage in potatoes has in
creased % per cent in the year and
the condition of the crop July was
% per cent, as compared with IS per
cent last year and ten-year aver
age of 90 per cent The farm value
is $l.05 per bushel, against So cents
last year at the same time. the in
crease in this one item meaning mil
lions to the state, as the acreage is
estimated at at least 70.000.
The corn acreage shows an increase
of 80 per cent over last year. The
percentage condition is 80. against 80
last year and a ten-year average of
IS. The farm value is 81 cents per
bushel, an increase of > cents in the
year
Apples are given percentage con-
dition of 81, as compared with 80 last
year and ten-year average of only
65.
Peaches show a remarkable gain.
a year ago the percentage condition
was only 25. Now it is So, while the
ten-year average is only 62.
Pears are rated at G5 per cent now,

Grapes this year are within 10 per
cent of perfect crop. Last year the
percentage condition was only 60,
the ten-year average being 80.
Strawberries were an SO per cent
crop this season. against 80 per cent
last year.
Fleeces of wool averaged 62
pounds this year, against SO pounds
last year, and there was a remarkable
increase in price, some clips being
sold at the highest price ever paid in
Colorado, equaling the prices for the
northern clips.
Sugar beets are rated at 81 per
cent this year. as against 50 last
year. and this small percentage of
increase. because of the volume of
the crop in the state, means hundreds

Naval Aeroplaues.

Despite the decision to postpone action
on the proposal to supply the navy with
aeroplanes Of a special design, 1t is not
to be doubted that In season these ma
chimes will be provided. Aerial navigation
is no longer experimental. though 1t Is
in its infancy. No one who reads can
doubt that the day OF the aeroplane as
well as of the dirisible has come. The
army has formally adopted the heavier
than-air machine for scouting and recon-
noitering purposes, having the best avail
able device already in its possession as a
beginning While the problem OF adapt
ing this machine to naval uses presents
some diff1cult problems. it Is virtually
certain that they will be solved. II will
be comparatively easy, now that the first
conquest of the air has been accom-
plished. to produce an apparatus that
can be stored on board battleship and
launched from it's decks for the purpose
of scouting at sea and that can be
brought back to base and replaced If
this cannot be conveniently done with
the battleship as O base q special craft
designed for the single purpose of AFFORD
ing starting plane for the machine and
housing 1t at sea. is easily within con-
ception and can unquestionabiy be pro-

Bingham on Mcclellan.

c p;robau's revelations respecting
Aro,,or Mcclellan and the latter's second
administration come at time 10 DC 'ai-
uable If New York cares 70 ponuer 'heia.
Tammany made Mr.. Mcclellan It's can
didate through the necessity OF appear
mo to the better class of democrats ana
tho independent vote. He was man
of high personal character. OF distin-
puished lineage. and a politician OF ex-
ner,ence In the language of the street.
tho organization needed him in its busf-
mess II could not win with man on
,eve, with its mana ging membership.
The ARRANGEMENT was easily erected.
rammanv wanted a candidate, and Mr..
Mcclellan office He liked politics, and
the mayoralty of New York, ATTRACTIVE
in itself. held out the hope OF something
still higher. Why not the governorshlp'
and even the presidency?
Installed as mayor, Mr.. Mcclellan soon
encountered the difficulties of good
man in bad company. He must controi
his company. or be controlled by II, or
set up against those who had given him
power. The result, inevitably. was fall
ure and confusion. AS he could not con-
troll Tammany. and would not sink to
its level, he parted with his creators and
sponsors and has since been mayor
without an organized following or sup
port.
Tammany today is looking for another
man with whom to appeal to the better
class of democrats and the independents.
Will it be able to find him? Will any
man, strong now as Mr.. Mcclellan was
when nominated, accept leadership
which has brought Mr.. Mcclellan to his
present pass? Tammany's support i'm
plies Tammany's terms. The mayor Of
New York elected by Tammany cannot
hope to lead Tan,many. but must be led
by 1t. or must break with it.
The real question Is very old and very
simple. Should a man accept ONCE at the
hands Of those with whom he Is not in
sympathy. and whom he should know he
must disappoint? ONCE Is a great temp
tation to men who have had taste Of
politics and enjoy the excitement Of the
game. Mr.. McClellan's case Is strictly in
point He likes Office, and under different
circumstances would probably have sue
ceeded in the one he now holds. But sue
cess in the circumstances existing was
impossible.
What has come about might have been
foreseen. Mr.. Mcclellan knew Tammany.
He had held its commission in Congress.
though charged with no duties there re-
auiring a surrender Of his character and
individuality. He should have known that
in the mayors chair he would have to
encounter embattied grafters on every
hand, and to overthrow or be overthrown
by them.

The Open Door Remains Open.

After weeks of negotiation, with many
delays and questions, American diplomacy
wins a valuable victory in the matter Of
the Hankow railroad loan, bankers of this
country getting cne-fourth of the amount,
which has been increased from s27, 100000
10 S30,00O0OO in order to permit a better
distribution. This is peculiarly Chinese
method Of solution-to borrow more money
than is needed in order to let more cred
itors into the transaction. But undoubt-
edly all the funds will be required in the
construction of the line. and If the usual
experience is repeated there will be an
other loan before the enterprise is fin-
ished.
BY this entrance into the finances of
the railroad the United States. through
its banking interests, secures an equal
foothold with England, Germany and
France in the supplying Of materials for
the construction OF the road and In the
management of the line. But the triumph
is not measured alone by the profits to
be derived from this single operation.
Had the loan been divided between Eng
land, Germany and France alone, to the
exclusion of his country, there would
have been a serious obstacle to American
participation in other forms of Chinese
enterprise. The prestige of the United
States in the far east would have been
injured. The policy Of the open door in
China. for which the United States has
corsis emily stood ever since the opening
of the era in Asatic affairs, would
have been dangerously discounted.
Secretary Knox has steadfastly insisted
from the outset that the United States
must be admitted to participation in this
transaction. He has neglected no oppor-
tunity to press the demands of this gov
arnment. and has permitted no sophistry
or evasion or pretexr to obscure the issue
or prevent a square meeting of the Amer
lean demands. He has had to combat not
only the devices of the Chinese foreign
office. but the intrjeues of the European
powers. intent upon preventing American
entrance into the Chinese financial field
That he has finally won all that he asked
is ample proof that he fits perfectly into
the State Department. and Is worthy
successor to John Hay and Elihu Root.
AS long as he remains in his present posi-
ton American foreign relations will be in
the best of hands. And yet If the strict
constructionists had had their way a
trifling technicality would have kept him
out Of the cabinet
