The irrigation of the beet fields should
be delayed as long ~ there is sufficient

growth Too early irrigation tends to
make a turnip-shaped beet and produces

Irrigation Work VIII b
RAsa,s,nAe

The resumption of work on the Den
yer Reservoir Irrigation Company's ir-
rigation system within thirty days after
application had been made to the courts
for the appointment of q receiver will
mean the investment of many millions
of dollars in Colorado during the next
few years, according to local bankers
and bond houses. The damper which
has been thrown over the market for
irrigation securities by the trouble of
the local project has been raised by the
investigations (Which showed it to have
been founded on firm foundation.
Engineers and experts on irrigation
have gone over the system in detail and
have found that its possibilities were
as great as have been claimed by it's
promoters and that it's temporary fin
ancial troubles were not due to any I'M
sOundness in the scheme.
As result the Pennsylvania capital
lists, after personally investigating the
situation, decided to purchase the $780,
600 worth of receivers certificates
which will guarantee the completion of
the system.
The success of that system, in spite
of the. troubles it. encountered, will
pave the way for the investment of
many millions in the state in promoting
other projects now under way, accord

ests of the city.

Colorado Wheat Yield

While the entire western country is
suffering from drought which is doing
irreparabIe injury to wheat and all
growing crops, Colorado is again re-
vealing to the world its superiority as
an agricultural state. The prospects
for wheat crop in this state are not
as promising as they were few weeks
ago. but there is no danger of the en-
tire crop being destroyed by the drought
and heat as is threatened in other
communities.
Reports received from all sections
of the state by the milling companies
show that the wheat crop in all irrigat-
ed districts will be saved.
The winter wheat in the dry belt
will also likely be saved where it is far
enough advanced to begin riDening with
in the next few days and where the soil
has been well titled previous to the
planting of the crop. The situation is
One that will not be fully known for a
week or more yet, but it is now con
sidered certain that the percentage of
yield in this state this year will run
considerably ahead of the percentage in
the Dakotas, Minnesota and other
wheat producing states.
As the situation stands at present,
Colorado's wheat crop will be larger in
proportion to area planted than in al
most any other Western state.

The simplest way to keep this record is to

The celebration of our national holi-
day next Monday causes US to wonder
what kind of patriotism Sedgwick eoun
u needs most At the commencement
Of the civil war there were plenty of
men who left home and loved ones to
give their life for their country. 1t is
no rare instance TO read of some man
or woman who has given up their life
do not have to think long to remember
some one in our acquaintance who
who has given to the world an exhibi-
ton of bravery. Thousands of dollars
will be spent next Monday in making
the air hideOus and the heavens beauti-
full in the celebrating of our nation 5
independence, but after all is all this
noise an spectacular display true pat
riotism.
There will be those who will get SO
jubilant that they will endeavor to ab-
serb all the output of our breweries in
single day and the result will be the
spending of money, the loss of intellect
and the humility. if not the destruction
of the home. Cities and towns will fire
cannon, float flags, arrange programs
and illuminate the sky with fire works
and still the true spirit Of patriotism
will be missing. Young people and old
will labor to provide amusement for
themselves and others and while so do
ing will forget what the Fourth of July
means. If all this be 80, what is true
patriotism?
At this peaceful and harmonious time
of our country and other nations we
forget that true patriotism is existing
all around US, and because there are no
battles to be fought, no lives to be sur
rendered for our country, no lives in
imminent danger, that we can save, we
possibly forget that we should be just
as loyal and patriotic as the boys in
blue and gray in 1861 to 1865.
During this heated period we who
live in the country and country towns
fail to remember that in our cities there
are thousands of those much less favor
ably situated than ourselves and we be-
lieve that the mother who bends over
the wash tub and ironing board every
day in the week to provide the necessi-
ties of life for her little ones; the man
who goes forth every morning to the
shop or factory and tolls through the
long hot hours only to return at night
to the house which he calls home to
possibly watch over sick child and
does this for the pittance that will pro-
vide the bare necessities of life; the
boy or girl who from necessity, instead
Of enjoying the pleasures that they are
to, labor for . weekly sum that
would not make pin money for others
of more favored class, and cheerfully
deposit their pittance in the family
purse are the true patriots.
But we do not have to go to our cities
to find true patriotism. The farmer
who prepares his soil, plants his crops
and expects harvest and find that his
efforts have been in vain. That from

MRS. BLEvINs ASKS "WHY?"
Says Other Boys of Her Sons Age Are
Allowed to Work.

To the Editor of the State Journal
of the Daily Capital published August
IS, they wrote an article in regard to
my son Howard. Now at no time have
1 been dependent or partly dependent
on Howard for my support.
There has not been a day for the last
four years that I have been out of en-
some rentable property. Howard sup
ports himself and has since he was
years old. Every dollar he earns over
and above his clothes and school books
is used for his musical education and
not for my support.
While 1t is true that since he can
not sing 1 probably will not be able to
give him the musical education he de-
s,ires.
1 was sick in bed at the time and
made no effort whatever to get him
the position at the Novelty, it was his
friends who came to me and asked me
If he might take it If he could get La
Dor Commissioner Johnson's consent. If
there Is a child labor law why are other
boys Towards age permitted to work
we have boys in my immediate neigh
borhood who are younger than How
ard who work in factories, some who
are not more than six months older,
who work in cigar stores. If there is
q child labor law why are these boys
allowed to work and Howard not per-
mitted to sing?

LAUNCHING OF THE ORION.
England's New Battleship the Mos
Powerful One Afloat.

Portsmouth, Eng, Aug. 20-The
Orion, Great Britain's newest and
greatest battleship, was launched here
today in the presence of King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria of Spain.
Compared with the armored cruiser
Lion of 26,350 tons just launched, the
Orion will displace only 22,500 tons,
but her ten 1875 inch guns and her
new deadly equipment of torpedoes
render her by far the most powerful
battleship afioat.
The new torpedo to be carried by the
Orion weighs nearly a ton and its
range will exceed 1900 yards at a
speed of 40 knots.
The torpedo carries a charge of gun
cotton weighing $50 pounds. The
Orion will have a speed of 81 knots
and will carry 1000 tons of fuel, CIV
ing her an unusually wide radius OF
action.

lettering about the boat house and a
week ago he fought several of them

Half dozen of them went to the boat
house last night and Gostelfi drove
them away. They returned in few
minutes, one of them carrying a shot
gun. Three shots were fired, two from
the detectives revolver and one from
the shot gun. Costello fell dead on the
