No FAITH IN WATER BONDS
Investigation by Attorney but to
"Clear Atmosphere"
JUST AFTER LEGAL ADVICE
Council and citizens VIII Then
Know the situation" Says Bur-
mester-Members of the
board Agree.

While City Attorney Burnam has been
officially requested by the council to in
vestigate and report on the status Of the
100000 OF bonds voted some years ago
for the purchase Of the water works, there
is no expectation OF report from the
attorney that would uphold the bonds
Acting Mayor Burmester. who introduced
the resolution for an investigation by the
city attorney, is not at all confident the
bonds can be made available, in case the
city has to take over the water plant
Il want the atmosphere cleared" said
Mr.. Burmester, $50 that the council and
the citizens generally will know just where
we stand, no matter what way the decis-
ion goes. with an opinion from the city
attorney, council will be legally advised, and
psa then either take those bonds into con-
slderation or Ignore them"
Members OF the water board agree that
they have never given the S3,OOooOO issue
any serious thought. since the suits fought
out in court, when the election was held.
II. D. Howell, says the board considers
the bonds contemplated would not pass
muster. and so have never been thought
of as a factor to be reckoned with in case
the city takes the plant and finds it neces-
sary to spend more than the amount Of
the appralsement bonds voted at the last
city election.

Joseph Vollmer of Petersburg, Neb., was

fell Monday i'm his neighborhood. The snow
was very heavy and soft, but did not last
long, and the temperature Tuesday was not

previous did great damage to the pastures

he said:

IN DENVER FOR YEARS

Denver. Jan. 12.-Yee Kee, for
years the best known ChInaman IN
Denver. committed suicide recently
in his native town near Canton,
China. Word that he jumped into a
river and drowned himself was no
surprise to the Denver Chinese. They
say that Yee for years suffered from
an aggravated form Of leporsy and
was practically an outcast.
The fact that Yee was a lepor was
known to practically every Chinaman
in the city. and they say It is sur
prising that the authorities did not
learn that he was suffering from the
dread disease
Yee lived many years on Arapahoe
street, near Thirteenth, In the heart
of the city, and conducted n laundry
there. Because he was a leper he be-
came practically a prisoner.
Tired OF solitary confinement, Yee
finally went into Chinatown.
His appearance caused all to fee
from him and he was given the choice
of returning to China or having gov
ernment officials notified. Yee chose
the former coures.
Yee was a member OF the large Yee
family which is involved In the
bloody tong war now raging in San
Francisco. He was possessed of con-
siderable means.

 One of the most needed implements, at least down our way, is the one that will, with a small amount of time and labor and a smaller amount of money, enable the farmer to destroy weeds that are so plentiful on summer fal- lowed lands.

GREAT SOURCES OF WEALTH
Ways of Making Cotton Grower lndepe ndent.

Diversihcation of crops is one of the great sources of wealth of the Texas cotton farmer. It Is not only making amends for years of wasteful cultivation of the soil. but. by furnish ing supplies for home needs and fod- der for live stock. 1t has made the planters more independent. They are no longer obliged to sell their cotton at once for whatever price they can get at the nearest market, but can store 1t until prices are good In Texas diversified farming Is carried on to a much greater extent than in other states because the lands are so rich, especially in the southern coun- ties, that they can be kept under cul- tivation the year round. and thus be made to yield several crops
 The by-products form most i'm portant factor in the cotton industry today. The leaves have certain value as coarse fodder, the stems can be made into fiber for bagging. and the bark of the root has medicinal properties Next to the lint. the seed is the most valuable. for it yields cot ton seed oil meal. which can be used for fodder and for fertilizing The huils are used for the manufacture of paper and for fuel the ashes being an excellent fertilizer, as they contain large amount of phosphoric acid and potash. It Is estimated that the value of the cotton by-products In Texas exceeds s20.000,000 annually
 There are many thriving cotton seed oil mills throughout Texas. but they use only a small portion of the enormous amount of seed produced annually. There are fine opportuni- ties for the investment of capital in plan5 of this kind In Houston alone there are five of these mills and seven cotton congresses There could be more manufactories established there with good returns on the capital in- vested in view of the excellent market and the splendid railroad facilities
 The number of cotton textile mills in the south is growing every year, and 1t is undoubtedly destined to be. come the greatest cotton manufactur- ing territory that the world has ever seen, as Texas Is already the pro ducer of nearly one-third of the United States supply of raw cotton.
