The town of Austin is located on the
North Fork branch of the D. & r. G.,

growth. 1t is the distributing point

A Country Irrigated by Its Own Waterways,

Land Whose Rising Values Apparently Have No Limit

Surface Creek produces such fine
crops of fruit that less is said about
other crops, but they are not lacking.
This last year John Griffith cut thirty
six tons of alfalfa from six acres,
gathered $50 bushels of corn from four
acres and got 10 bushels of pc tatoes
from one-third of an acre. Such
yields of other crops are not bad to
mix with the fruit.

Cedaredge.
When this mesa was first settled the
land was reckoned of little value in
the cedars, and with the exception of
Mr. Kiser and one or two more
there was no ranches above the Kohler
ranch. In a few years all the land
below was taken and 81 me began to
think it might be worth while to clear
off the cedars on some of the land
above for crops. In 1894 the Stoltes'

THE DIVORCE COURT.

Mrs. Annie Kearns has fled suit in
the circuit court for divorce from Ralph
Archibald Kearns, alleging desertion as
her grounds for action. The libel
states that they were married accord
ing to the laws of New South Wales
in 1899. There is one child by the
marriage, Ernest Ralph, a boy nine
years old. Mrs. Kearns asks for the
custody of the boy and for $25 a
month alimony. She claims that her
husband, who is a stenographer, earns
not less than $3.50 a month.
Judge De Bolt yesterday granted a
divorce to Carrie Masters from Ed
ward Masters on the ground of non
support. The judge ordered the libelee
to pay the libelant $25 month ali
mony and also to pay her counsel a
fee of $50. The mother was awarded
the custody of the minor children.

conviction of the crime According to
his story, as outlined in his application
for pardon, he was attacked by Hiro,
who was armed with razor, and it
was only in self defense that he
stabbed his assaiIant with a knife.
On February 16, 1903, Snow Taylor,
alias Tom Taylor, was committed to
the penitentiary for ten years after
conviction of burglary in the first de-

at that time deputy attorney general,
prosecuted the man, and it is E. C.
Peters who now seeks his release. And
Mr.. Peters says he is doing so because
he is now fully convinced that Tanhor
was unjustly convicted. It is true that
the prisoner killed a man, but it now

The Bureau of ENTOMOLOGY

The work carried on by the bureau
relates entirely to injurious insects,
,and the direct object of this work is to
discover remedial measures and to
make them known to the public. The
object Of the work, therefore, is of the
most practical character and every ef-
fort is devoted to the practical end. It
has been conservatively estimated that
the United States suffers an annual
economic loss from injurious insects Of
one kind or another of surely $700, ,000,-
600. This estimate, says L. o. How
ard, Phi. D., in National Magazine, in
cludes the damage done to agricultural
crops, to orchard and horticultural in
dustries, to live stock, to stored prod
ucts, to forests and forest products,
and to other property, but it does not
include the economic loss to communi-
ties and to the nation through the
lessening Of the productive capacity Of
the population through the prevalence
OF diseases that are carried by insects,
such as malaria, typhoid fever, yellow
fever, and possibly many others.

telling of new growth and broader
horizon.
Out on the old arbor, the rough and
scraggy grapevine is sending forth
little gray tendrils, reaching farther
toward heaven and away from the
earth that hides its foothold. How
blithely does nature echo forth her
yearly message to every waiting heart
her message of resurrection, joyous
activity, high-mounting aspiration!
Her myriad voices cry through every
sense, to touch and penetrate the spir-
1t with gladness and good cheer. New
readings from the Gospel of eternal
hope are seen on every side, in the
growth of plant, the unfolding Of leaf,
the blossoming Of flower The woods
are full Of these shy spring darlings-
violets, dandelions, adder's tongues,
spring beauties, bluebells and many
a nameless wildling, all hurrying gayly
to deck the earth and celebrate the
Eastertide.
Certain flowers and plants have al
ways been set apart as sacred things,
and from the very dawn of history we
hear of f1ower-decked altars and
wreaths of sacrifice. The heather
temples we're adorned with earth 8
fairest blossoms, scattered on the al
tars, and twined around the brow Of
priest and aeolyte. The amaranth
bloomed in deathless beauty upon the
Olympian heights, the myrtle was be-
loved of Apollo, the rose, the lily, the
mistletoe were favorites of legend and
myth. The flowers once sacred to
Freya, the spring goddess of northern
mythology, we're chosen for their spot

when heather myth gave place to
Christian truth, these sacred treasures
were transferred to the Virgin, and be-
came symbols Of the queen Of heaven.
So 1t is that In every story Of saint
or madonna we find either the lily or
the rose-the lily with its fragrance,
Its bending, bowing, waving bells,
reems to whisper of purity and wor-
ship; the rose, with its faint and far
away odor, which seems to hint Of
eternal hope. One might almost ill a

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

Since the higher education of the
cow has been taken up and our univer-
stiles have been turning out superior
quality Of lowing kline, one is not sur
prised to hear that the up-to-date
queen of the cattle barn and her col
lege-bred companions should be made
the objects Of fastidious solicitude
undreamed of in the days Of yore. A
member of the Covington (Ky.) board
of health has sprung into fame through
a demand that cows have their teeth
brushed with regularity. Health ex-
perts In other cities have treated the
demand lightly, protesting not to see
how the innovation would tend to puri-
fy the milk supply. If the scheme
ever does take hold, however, the
dairymaid Of romance is likely to be-
come confused with the servitor who
assists in the preparation of the aris-
tocratic cows toilet. 1t will not be
difficult to picture the time when every
fashionable COW will have mirror in

Madonna Lilies
and Other Flowers

That Are Sacred

chance to blossom on Our Lady's days
(such as the visitation, the assump-
tion, her birth, baptism, purifcation).
There are lady's slipper, lady's mantle,
lady's fingers, lady's smock, lady's
tresses. Virgins bower, or clematis,
begins to bloom in July, the feast Of
visitation, and is at full bloom at as
sumption in August.
The lily was first found in connec-
tion with the Virgin in the story Of
her ascension to heaven, and 1t orig.
mated probably In the second century.
According to this legend, 1t was three
days after the burial of our Lyrd's
mother that the apostles visited and
opened her grave and found 1t filled
with fragrant, spotless lilies. Since
then these matchless flowers have been
called Madonna lilies" or flowers
of the Virgin" The common white
lily of our gardens, that blooms in
July, and is the sweetest and most
graceful Of all flowers, might well be
called holy" No one seems to know
Its origin. 1t is never found wild in
Palestine, nor can we find just where
1t grows without culture. But we see
1t in the faded pictures of old Italian
masters and Netherland painters,
made long before the discovery of this
New World.
Nearly all of our great poets have
praised this flower. Chaucer and
Spenser speak of 1t as mystical bios
som in their far-away gardens and
lady's bowers. Shakespeare 1t was
who first said: ITO gild refined gold
and paint the lily" and these lines
from one Of his sonnets tell a truth
that can never be forgotten:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their
deeds;
Lilies that tester smell far worse than
Z weeds.
Milton loved the lily and always spoke
of 1t In connection with the rose--as
did also Swinburne when he talks of
The lilies and languors of virtue;
The roses and raptures of vice.
And Tennyson says Of Maud's garden
that it was
Fairer than aught In the world beside,
All made up Of the lily and the rose.
Dear old Herrick, that sweet singer of
spring, has one lily thought that is like
a sigh:
But vanished man,
Like to "a lily lost, never can bloom anew
Or bring his days to see second spring.
Shelley has the lily in his wonder
full garden along with his sensitive
plant. Wordsworth often praises 1t.
Burns mentions it frequently. Tenny.
son has lovely lily thoughts; but our
own Longfellow draws the prettiest
picture Of maidenhood--
Bears lily In thy hand
Gates Of brass can not Withstand
One touch Of that magic wand.
James Russell Lowell always comes
near to the heart Of things and left us
more than one sweet lily poem and al
lusion, and our minor poets all tell
their love for this perfect specimen Of
natures handiwork.
