HtAVY 7 RAINS
PUT OUT FIRES

Steamboat Springs. Colo, Sept. s.
Heavy rains have fallen in the noun
tain section extinguishing the last of
the forest fires in the Routt reserve.
The loss has been heavy and much
valuable timber destroyed The fire
fighters in the forestry service are
bringing in reports of thrilling expert
ences. Near Hahn s Peak, more than
a dozen of them were surrounded by
the forest fires and were without fool
for days. The men understood their
work thoroughly and to this is due the
saving of their lives. When they dis
covered that they We're surrounded by
the fire they began back firing. They
started fires near the streams, keeping
them under control, then extinguishing
them and burning the forests in an
other direction until they had more than
a mile square of land burned off when
overtaken by the main fire. They re-
mained in and near the water and fire.
quent applications of wet blankets saw
ed them from being scorohed by the
heat. With the exception of the men
being overcome at times by the intense
heat they came out unhurt.

THE oDEoN

This popular playhouse has enjoyed
n splendid patronage this week and the
management has been highly comp)i-
mented on the character of entertain
ment furnished, and the compliments
were well deserved. There is nothing
phenomenal about the success of this
new theatre. 1t is just plain. COM
nonsense desire to please the people
and to this end the management is al
ways on the lookout for the very best
attractions obtainable.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings Of this week the Odeon people
employed the Dunbars, two very clever
vaudeville artists and their singing and
dancing and other specialties proved
highly entertaining to the large houses
that have patronized this house at both
performances each night this week.
"The people are entitled to theii
moneys worth and we propose to give
it to them" Is the theory the Odeor
people work on. That's right gentle
men, give them something worth the
money and then use common sense IL
advertising and the people win DO ths

STATE may BUILD
MOUNTAIN TUNNEL
Can State Dig Big Hole Through
Hogback For Railroad
Purposes
BR|Ns0N IS NOT SURE

Denver, Sept. 6.-The feasibility of
the state of Colorado constructing
owning and operating a double track
railroad tunnel near the point where
the MofIat road crosses the contincu-
tai divide is to be investigated by the
chamber of commerce.
The object is to open a tran conti-
mental railroad. highway through the
mountains which would do away with
the heavy mountain grades and be open
to the use of all railroads. Dir. f. l..
Bartlett. president of the chamber of
commerce, says that a plan has been
submitted that provides for its con
with convict labor. The state would
charge toll for the use of the tunnel
and open it to all railroads on a plan
similar to the one under which the Pan
a ma canal is being constructed.
"We will investigate the feasibility
of the project said DIR. Bartlett. GA
tunnel of the kind described would
mean the completion of the Denver,
Northwestern and Pacific railroad to
Salt Fake City. 1t would open new
route for the Denver and Rio Granda
to this city which would save it 200
miles on its transcOntinental haul. The
state can build it with convict labor
at half what it would cost if construct
ed by private parties. Its cost would
he recovered by the collection of toll.
It would be as good a means of re-
ducing freight tariffs as any that could
be adopted. Any railroad would pay
toll to use the tunnel in order to save
the expense of operating over the heavy
grades. Their saving in fuel alone
would pay the amount of the toll not
counting the time.''
James N Brinson. deputy attorney
general said: 81 do not recall off
hand any legal difficulty in the way
of the state constructing such a tur-
mel. The state can do almost anything
it wants to if it does not Interfere or
destroy any vested rights.''

LAND MATTERS ARE
AGREED ON

Portland, Ore, Sept Sat meet
ing held in Portland last week between
officers of the field service of the gen
eral land office and officers of the for
estry service, an agreement was reach
ed which gives the general land office
ali responsibility for the patenting of
lands on the public domain. The agree
ment places in effect the compact re-
of the Interior Ballnger and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, respecting
the rights of the two branches of the
service, and in effect carries ont the
intent of the law of Feb. l, 1905.
The agreement provides that forest
service officers shall report upon all 10
cations made upon forest lands for any
purpose and after the reports have been
sent to Washington they shall be re-
turned through the secretary of the in-
terror to the chiefs of field divisions
for the various districts. After exam
nation of the reports the field divi-
sion officers may confirm the report or
they may order a new examination If
there rs anything about the papers
which excites suspicion.
At the conference were ]. NJ. Sheri-
dan, chief of the field service of the
general land office for tn e United
States: w. R. Williams. Jr., chief law
officer of the forest service for the

Wiley STARTS A
KITCHEN ROW

Washington. Aug. 27.-Just whether
the advice to housewives dispensed sew
eral days ago by DIR. Harvey w. Wiley
chief of the bureau of chemistry. relat
ing to the proper way to condition poul
try before killing has met with the en-
tire approval of persons engaged in
handling and preparing live poultry, is
open to doubt, in view of the state
ments made by poultry dealers and no
tel stewards.
Some of these persons even go to the
extent of saying that DR.. Wiley is an
eminent authority OH matters pertaining
to chemistry, but poultry, well-.There
were a few. however, who sided with
the amiable chief of the bureau of
chemistry in his statement that chickens
should be deprived of food for twenty
four hours previous to killing. but
others admitted their inability to see
the benefit that would accrue from such
procedure and contended the practice
was detrimental to the food value Of
the fowl
John H. Carter, manager of a large
poultry commission house of this city
said that a chicken deprived of food for
twenty four hours would invariably de-
velop high fever, which naturally was
not to be desired.
81 have been engaged in the poultry
business for many years" said Carter,
"and my experience during that time
has been that chickens are best killed
early in the morning after good, hear
ty feed the night before. They will
then be in the ideal condition for dress
ing, and at the same time will not be
fretted from want of food. 1t is mat
ter of common knowledge that any
animal deprived of food for certain
length of time will develop fever. This
will take place with fowl inside of
twenty-four hours and an amateur in
the poultry business knows that chick
en- killed while in feverish condition
rs not fit for food
Mrs. f. Gerstenberg. whose knowl-
edge ofchickens is gained through the
management of large poultry farm in
Maryland, near Washington, declared
the theory of starving chickens for
certain time before they were killed
was untenable. Mrs Gerstenberg said:
"When I have any chickens to kill |
find it best to feed them well the night
before and kill them the following
morning before feeding time. In this
way the fowl is not burdened with
mass of undigested food and is in the
proper shape to pick and dress. The
flavor of the chicken, I think, is spoil
I'd by starving the fowl for any length
of time, and it is always best to feed
them heartily within ten or twelve
hours of the time they are killed"

HOW CANCER MAY BE CURED

There is a time in the history of
every case of cancer when a cure is
easy and absolutely sure. There also
comes time in every case of cancer
sible by any known means, and a slow
death the only possible result. While
,hcre is much to be learned regard
ing the cause of cancer, there are many
things regarding its structure and
methods of 0l0wlh wh'cf. arc known
facts. Every "nacer begins us licai
growth. 1t is not in the system or in
the blood at first. In fact. it some
times grows for weeks, and at times
months, in the place in which it start
ed before it begins to spread. A cancer
is an overgrowth of normal tissue. Why
it starts to grow is not known; but
from some cause the tissue, which
should stay in place and serve a use
full purpsoe runs wild and destroys
whatever it touches. For instance,
the cells which form the normal skin
on the surface of the body grow down
into the underlying tissue. After once
these cells seem to be out from under
control of the forces which govern the
growth of the body they grow rapidly
and along the line of least resistance.
On the surface they grow outward
Il Po1nyU fknv
grow into the spaces between the con
nective tissues and muscles, into tn"
lymphatic spaces. These new cells null
tiply so rapidly that the new blood yes
sells cannot keep pace with them, and
soon they have a poor blood supply and
easily break down and die, and there
is left the ulcerating sore so often seen
in neglected cases. Growing in the
deeper tissues parts of them break off
and are carried in the lymph and blood
stream to distant parts of the body
The lymphatic glands lying between
the new growth and the rest of the
body are usually first infected, as
shown by their enlargement. Later
the cancer cells enter the blood stream
and are distributed all over the body
The liver, lungs stomach and bones arc
very apt to be locations for the new
growth.
Whenever the secondary growth
starts, it has the same structure as the
tissue from which it started. When the
cancer cells are disseminated through
the body cure is impossible. While
it is still local and even at times whe'
the nearest glands are infected a cur;
is possible.
Cancer is very fatal infection, be
cause of its insidious onset; because Of
its painlessness at the beginning, ant
because of the great tendency of thu
average individual to put off radica
measures until the cancer cells hav
qpread beyond reach.
The only logical treatment of cance
at present is wide and early reRova
Taken out while it is still loca
growth, there is no reason why j
should return. The easiest and safes
| method of cure is the scalpel in tn
hands of an intelligent surgeon. TIL
, various caustics and plasters act o.
: the principle that cancer cells are o
low vitality, and easier killed tina
], normal tissues. Whether too little o
r too much, or just enough tissue is kill
ed by the plaster depends on chance
, and one result is as likely to be OF
tanned as the other with a plastel
Desired results can only be obtaine
by intelligent treatment.

MEDICINE IN CHINA.

Much is heard in these days of the
awakening of China, and undoubted-
ly progress is being made in various
directions. Bu'i medical science, as
it is known to the native practition-
er, remains pr city much in the con-
dition describ ed in the memoirs of
LIE Comte, published in the seven
tenth centuryr. For centuries medi-
cal knowledge, has been at stand
still, and the population has been at
the mercy Of the ignorant charlatans
who pass th emselves off as doctors.
In spite of over a century OF. close
contact will Europeans the Chinese
doctor Of Il ,-day remains ignorant of
the rudime nts Of anatomy and physi-
ology, and has the most ludicrous
notion of the functions of the inter-
nal organs and the causes of disease.

THOUGHT KE KNEW BUSINESS
Beggar's Mission Was to Get Money,
Not for Instruction in His
Line Of Work.

A pretentious Jewish beggar or
schnorrer got into the Office of the
well-known New York banker, Isaac
N. Seligman, having eluded the
man who guarded the door to the
private office. Mr.. Seligman disliked
the beggar's confident intrusive air,
and undertook to give him lecture,
although be felt kindly toward him.
He pretended to be very angry.
"When a man does take up the
schnorring .(begging) business, he
ought to behave in a decent, respect
able MANNER" said Mr.. Seligman.
''He ought to have the decency not
to come into a room with vile
cigarette and with his hat on his
head, and come into the Office of a
busy man unannounced. One should
not demand aims, but should wait
respectfully until something is
given"
my dear sir" the beggar said,
turning on the banker, and smiling
pityingly: "Do you think you can
teach me the business of schnor-
ring?"
