SHOT NEAR CHUTES Is CAUSE
Many Tramps Are Arrested and Then
Given F'lOaterx

LaSalle, Feb. AFTER stray
shot had been fired near the chutes
last night and somebody had told a
vague tale about an attempted ho,d-
up. Constable John Bentley and JUS
tice OF the Peace Charles Mckinney
rounded up twenty tramps. searched
them and advised them to leave town
with all possible haste. The round
up occurred shortly before midnight
and there were "A number Of onlook-
ers present, as n local lodge had just
adjourned and the members were on
their way home.
Although no great Importance was
attached to the holdup story. the
agent at the depot complained of the
loafers. and 1t was partly on his ac-
count that the strays we're lined up
and searched. No trace OF the money
taken from George Nichols Wednes-
day night was found.
The constable offered the twenty
their choice OF thirty days In Jail or
a tie-pass apiece. and they were unan-
imous in choosing the latter.

Eaton. Feb. 4.-P. X. Blinn. an
expert agriculturist. talked inform
ally to gathering OF farmers In the
Office of NJ. s. Losey yesterday aft
ernoon on the subject OF alfalfa. He
discussed with them the causes of
the partial failure of the alfalfa crop
and also discussed possible remedies.
Like all other agriculturists, he IL
unable to state definitely the cause Of
the falling on of the alfalfa yield
in the Greeley district
In his opinion, the grasshoppers
have had much to do with the pres
ent condition of affairs and he be-
lieves that II that pest can be eradi-
Gated that at least part OF the prob
lem will be solved. He suggested
several ways OF getting rid Of the
hoppers.
Another possible cause may be the
seed that is planted. and he advo-
Gated certain experiments in the line
of raising seed and in securing otl er
varieties OF seed. He was in favor
OF having some alfalfa grown for
seed In this district.

ARTISTS RELIGION

I REGARDLESS of a common belief to
the contrary. August Rodin. French

rule do have religious conceptions
which are basic OF their love for eN-
ternal beauty. In an interview print
ed in Ia Rayue and translated in the
Boston Transcript kodin says:
ITO my mind religion is some
thing altogether different from mum

of the unexp' aimed and the ineXplica

force that maintains the various
types OF living creatures, a suspicion
OF a natural world beyond the reach
of our senses of the whole vast do
main that neither the eyes of the
body nor those of the mind are cap
able OF seeing. il is the upleaping OF
our consciousness toward the infin-
ite. toward eternity. toward limitless
truth and love-promises that may
be illuSory, but nevertheless give
wings to the soul in this life. In

DEMUktEN REING MADE
BY THE UNION PACIFIC

Copies OF the demurrer which has
just been fled in the case of W. r.
DeBolt against the Union Pacific
road by the Union Pacific attorneys
against the replication which has
been made. Attorney John T. Jac-
obs for DeBolt have Just been re-
ceived by Attorney Jacobs.
The argument on this demurrer
will be heard probably q week from
next Monday before Judge Garrigues
and will end all preliminary steps
in the case which will then come
up for argument.
The demurrer alleges that there
are 10 facts to constitute reply
and that the statements are 30 in
definite concerning the filings made
by settlers who located In this por-
ton OF the country previous to the
location of the city. that they are
worthless.
The demurrer IL most important
step in the proceedings which have
the eyes not alone OF the state OF
Colorado but of the entire west upon
It. and upon the result OF the DeBolt
case much will depend for the citi-
zens and the municipalities of the
entire west. wherever the Union Pa

the steering gear refused to work.
He noticed that the apparatus was
wrong before he had gone more than
half way down the hill. The speed

every foot of ground travelled. but
the boy held his head well and did
his best to keep the machine in the
road. suddenly it lurched to one

OF the important farm implements.
A few years ago the smooth roller
vAs the one most commonly used nv
ehe farmer. Anyone of ordinary abil-
ny was able to construct roller
nom old wheels and planks, or from
. large log. But the coming in of
the corrugated roller makes it nee
e0ary for the farmer to buy roller
II he wishes to have one of the latest

are very high in price and it often
happens that farmer of limited
means cannot afford to purchase one
Of them.
Very serviceable. smooth land roll

roller, having cement wheels, was
0nstructed by the Farm Mechanics
department. at the Colorado Agricul-
faral college, in the spring of 1909.

EUCALYPTUS PUBLICATIONS
OF GOVERNMENT MISOUOTED

The department of agriculture has
recently been informed that certain
OF its publications dealing with euca-
lyptus have been misquoted by sew
eral companies interested in selling
lands. For instance, Circular 81, of
the forest service, has been misrep-
resented as saying that California
VIII, In few years, be the only
source Of hardwood supply in the
United States. Such statement has
never been made in any of the forest
service publications and is not con.
sidered fact
Inc department experts believe
that there is promise of considerable
success in the cultivation of eucalyp.
tus trees in many parts OF Califori. la
but estimates OF profit and of growth
have been attributed to the depart.
ment which are unauthorized. There
are many uncertainties connected
with eucalyptus culture. the govern.
ment experts say, which the inyesto,
should take into account.
In some cases statements fa,se,,
attributed to the forest service ir

rected when attention was called t.

MAIL ORDER SCHEMES

Regardless of any attitude when
may be taken by newspapers or IN
diyiduals in boosting proposed mail
order" schemes which purport to
keep money in the state OF Colo
RADIO, both city dwellers and eoun-
try folks alike should make the most
careful investigation before going
into the game While certain mail
order schemes are reliable, a vast
bulk of them are not, and there is
one circulating about Greeley and

bear the closest investigation.

THE MILK INSPECTOR

There can be no doubt but that
the consideration OF the creation OF
the office of milk inspector by the
city council is a step in the right di-
rection. Whatever objections may
be brought to the effect that it is
difficult to enforce the laws are real
ly worthy of no serious conSidera-
ton. The law is hard TO enforce in
anything but that is no reason why
We should not have policemen.
A milk inspector, the same as a
pure food inspector, is needed in any
city and is one of the creations of
the modern city which is being gen
orally adopted, except by a few anti
duated villages. Hence, it is neces-
sary that Greeley keep in the van
guard with the other cities of her
size in the state.
Some time ago the fact was point
ed out that there were several cases
OF ptomaine poison here, some from
eating candy and others from drink
ing hot chocolate, and in every in
stance 1t was the cream which was
poASpieu. As IL happened none OF /
the cases resulted fatally, but il I
would be the height of folly to wait I
until half dozen die before placing I.
a milk inspector in this city The /
fact that there was poisoned cream
being sold to certain candy makers
and hot chocolate dispensers is proof
in itself OF the necessity OF an in
spector.
The system works out successfully
In other cities and the statistics
which were cited by Mayor Houston
himself and which are given in a
news section OF this issue, are evil |
dence of the potency and need of
milk inspectors.
The creation of the Office is no re-
hection on any dairyman. or any
dealer, but it is simply a precaution-
ary measure which the modern city
has. through experience, seen fit to
adopt to better preserve the public
health.
The fact that the Greeley Social
Science club has decided to take ac-
I'VE steps in the matter shows that
public opinion is being decidedly
moulded IN the matter, and the de-
nand for a milk inspector will be
most urgent.

CITY TEACHERS HEAR AN
ADDRESS by DIR, MlIIrn

Thursday evening at $40. DIR
Miller OF the State Normal schoo,
spoke to the city teachers upon the
subject Pedagogy of Number. His
address was suggestive and well re-
ceived.
The chief points he developed were
first that teachers throughout our
country make number teaching ton
abstract, too much OF logical pro-
cess. at time when the children do
not know anything about reasoning
and comparisons OF numbers in the
abstract. He argued that all OF the
teaching OF number in the lower
grades should be based upon concrete
illustrations. gradually passing from
the conc etc to the abstract an the
teacher sees that the majority M
the children understand what has
been presented.
DR.. Miller showed that the CRUDE.
Spiral and other methods were based
upon the logical theory. and used
because they worked well, and rot
because they conformed to the peda.
gogy of teaching. or the correct laws
OF the embodiment OF the child's mind
Drill work was commended MS n
means OF testing what the child had
learned, but was too often used as
teaching device. the teacher often
trying to draw out OF the child what
he had not learned. thus losing val
liable time.
That there are schools where much
better results are secured than in
others was shown by comparison
OF the points made in about twenty
supposedly good school systems
some made approximately 800 points
while one made as high as over 900
Next week Superintendent Carter

psychology being the one in which

ogy must be tested. This lecture
was particularly strong as DR.. Mil
