We find. however. that Rocky

Perhaps It may be well to say here
that we will consider playground

their Fairgrounds are fairly COM

Manchuria They inhabit the banks
of the Pcony river and live by fishing

The space used for the apparatus
varies greatly. Independence School
at Fort Lupton rejoices in two-acre
school ground and the apparatus is
distributed pretty well over the
whole of it. Fort Collins has half
block. while Golden has it's appar-
atus on twenty-five foot square
(The latter statement is mistake
There is ample room.-Ed.)
The cost also varies. AS mention
ed before. La Junta has $1,000 to
spend. Rocky Ford's plant cost
$500. Greeley Normal put about
$1,000 into its ground. Golden set
up its model plant for about $50.
1t is homemade and Supt Downen
thinks 1t cost about one-fourth fac
tory price. He says: "Our janitor
is quite mechanic and did all the
work for nothing" He describes
one piece of his apparatus thus:
"Our giant stride consists of an old
telephone pole. set in cement, the
top being about fifteen feet high
We got at the blacksmith shop an old
wagon wheel and axle. The axle
is clamped to the top OF the pole
vertically and the wheel therefore
revolves horizontally. Ropes tied
to the ends of the spokes and hang
ing to the ground complete the mach
ine." Fort Lupton has giant stride
made in much the same fashion, and
much homemade apparatus is re-
ported elsewhere. In fact. most of
the smaller places have avoided
heavy expense by home work and
ingenious devices, such as have
been mentioned at Golden and Fort
Lupton. In some of the coal camps
of the state. the Colorado Fuel and

during the fattening period, the

corn makes the most economical

The farmer should calculate what
increase in crop it is necessary for
him to obtain in order to make the
use of fertilizers profitable, and If
only this is obtained he should not
condemn their use.
The grape needs nitrogen for
growth of vine and potash and phos-
phates for the perfection of its fruit.
Bone dust worked into the soil about
roots after growth is established sup
plies phcsphates and one-half
bushel of unleached wood ashes to a
vine applied in the spring gives the
necessary potash.
Water or moisture is always on

ATTIRE
Dense Smoke Enwrapped
Vessel but Passengers
Landed Safely.

New York, July 6.-The big triple
decked steamship Grand Republic,
sister ship of the Slocum, the ill
fated excursionist, took fire in the
lower boy. The burning vessel was
headed for dock at Crescent Athletic
club, where the panic stricken pas
sengers were landed in a dense cloud
of smoke which enwrapped the YES
sci and a fleet of tugs hustled assist
ance to prevent a REPETITION of the
Slocum disaster, in which 1000 lives
were lost. 1t is believed the fire
will be confined to where it started
amidships. When the dreadful fate
of the General Slocum confronted
the captain and officers of the Grand
Republic took every means to quiet
the passengers and succeeded admir-
ably. No lives were lost, but the
fire had an ominous outlook until
vessel reached the dock.

Easy Time for Police.

The police of the city had less
trouble in handling the big crowds
here incident to the two day celebra-
ton than at any time in the previous
history of Wenatchee. There were
but three drunks arrested during
the two days and these men were
taken as they were getting off the
east bound train. There were no
fires, no fights, and no accidents OF
any consequence. There were eight
officers on duty, four on the day
shift and four on the night shift.
There were two arrests made for
shooting firecrackers within the fire
limits. Chief Iuscho thinks this is
a remarkable record considering the
crowds that were handled.

The championship for North Cen
trail Washington was decided for this
year when Wenatchee lost to Leav-
enworth in the two games played
this week. Leavenworth takes home
the palm, and while the baseball
season has not yet closed, there is
now no longer any doubt as to Leav-
enworth's claim to that honor. Out
of seventeen games played only three
have been lost.
Leavenworth has had a team that
has played together during the en-
tire season. Eight of them have
played through the whole season.
Commenting upon the success of
the Leavenworth team, Manager Ell
