Presidents Message Important.

washington.-when Congress meets

months in which to perform whatever
may be the demands Of a Republican
administration. After that the fate Of
the Taft legislative program will de-
pend upon the will of a Democratic
House and a Republican Senate. The
success or failure of the approaching
short session Of Congress is believed
to rest with the character Of the ex-
ecutive message to be sent to the leg
islative bodies. Many Of the Repub-
licans. defeated in the recent elections.
are not expected to carry with the
best OF grace the blows SO harshly ad-
ministered. and this fact Of itself gives
the President a task offering difficult
ties far more complex than any that
have been presented to an executive

ment in leaping from the windows
and fire escapes of the four-story fac
tory building at Orange and High
streets. occupied on the top floor by
An underwear manufacturing concern.
Here the death list was heaviest. The
lower floors were occupied by two pa
per box concerns and two electrical
fixture factories. The latest count
shows that twenty Of the twenty-five
bodies recovered have been identified
and that six girls are missing. They
may be among the unidentified dead
or yet in the ruins. The collapse OF
a wall interrupted further search.
Fifty were taken to hospital. OF
whom two may die.
The building was exceedingly in
flammable and the first gush OF
flames had cut off all escape by the
stairways. The elevators made one
trip. but took down no passengers
and never came back. The only exit
was by two narrow fire escapes. the

A net had been spread beneath the

was the way a fireman described that
descent. They came out Of the win
dows like a thick treacle rolled up
on the heads OF those below them,
and cascaded off the fire escapes to
the pavement sixty feet below. Some
OF them stood in the windows out
lined against the flames and jumped
clear; others from the landings; still
others from the steps where they
stood. The air was full Of them and
they fell everywhere-into the net.

Of them on the hard stone slabs!

shouts OF the firemen and the whis-

the ringing Of bells.
When the awful rain ceased there
were eight dead in the street, and the
cutters ran red. Seven more were SO
badly crushed they died in hospitals.
Fifty are still under surgical care.

hea Raising In Colorado.

Ault.-That hogs can be profitably
and successfully raised In Colorado is
the opinion Of NJ. L. King, farmer
living one and a half miles east Of
Ault, who sold $4,000 worth Of hogs
from his farm during the past season
and has $1,000 worth In his pens right
now. Mr.. King came here five years
ago from Iowa. and one Of the first
things which struck him was the few
hogs raised here. As he came from a
country where stock is an important
factor in the farmers scheme Of
things, he determined to try 1t out
here. He pastures his hogs on alfalfa
in the summer, then fattens them with
a little grain before selling them. Al
falfa has been found to be one OF the
best possible foods for hogs. and 1t is
not often that 10-acre patch Of 1t
will bring in such good returns as In
hogs. After being fed on alfalfa they
need little grain to finish them up.
Mr.. King uses barley mostly.
