COlorado's Fruit Belt.

1.-THE most promising Valley in this
country is situated in western Color
ado, and is Familiarity known az the
'fruit belt, said III. o. Towles, Of that
State, at the Ebbitt.
Undoubtedly it is the best locality
In the United States for the production
Of deciduous fruits. Plateau Creek
divides the valley into two parts, and
receives its SUPPLY from twelve tribu
taries. These tributaries, together with
Plateau, furnish water fsr irrigation
purposes. Along the slopes of Grand
Mesa, which surround this valley, the
golden grain and purple ai,ifa hold
their sway, with perhaps Tar build
ing here and there. For away in The
distance can be seen the peaks Of Grand
Mesa, towering like some ancient castle
or fortress, making the picture one of
unsurpassed beauty. rnus, we have
an Arcadia, or, might say, noun
tain Arcadia.
"The fruits of the mldtemperate
zone grow on the sunny slops, aud
constitute an industry that is highly
remuneratiye. Tue valley in the sum-
mer of 1909 produced probably 100 car
loads of fruit, and in the future Will
join her sister, the Grand valley, in
making record for the State. Its
berries are considered the finest in the
world. In 1907 Que 5-acre tract of des-
berries nettled the owner 81. 800 The
summer preceding, the second year
after Its planting, it cleared $500.
Within few years the valley will
present one long series of orchards,
gardens, and farms"

Most Powerful Locomotives.


The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
five of the largest railroad locomotives
ever constructed, of the Mallet arti-
culatet compound type, already placed
IN service. Zen of these huge locomc-
tiyes were contracted for 10y the b. d
o. several months ago, the present in
stallment ing the first delivery to be
made under the contract. The weight
Of the ne engines is 46l, 900 pounds,
or 81 900 in excess OF any motive pow
er heretofore built; the tender weighs
1S1 900 pounds, making the combined
weight of the engine and tender 642,-
600 pounds. The new locomotives " Ill
be used to haul freight trains over the
mountain divisions of the road.
The Baltimore and Ohio was the first
American railroad to purchase NAL
let engi, e, which is of French design,
and after exhibiting one as part of
the company's display at the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis, in 1904, it was put In
use as helper engine in freight service
over the Allegany mountains This
engine, which is still in use on the
Couaelisville division, weighed 334 500
pounds, being the heaviest engine IN
the word at the time it was built.
Proving especially adapted TO Amer-
can railroading, where large tonnage is
handled, still larger locomotives OF the
same type were purchased by other
Lees for use as helpers on freight trains.
The MaIlet locomotives are SO feet,
3 IA inches long from the pilot to the
drawbar on the tender, having is driv-
ing wheels arranged in sells Of four
pairs Thu engine also has two sets of
cylinders, those forward being low
pressure and those in the rear high
pressure cylinders. The steam pressure
of the new engine is 2l0 pounds 10 the
square inch.
The Mallet engines were included in
the contracts for new equipment placed
early last year with ii view 10 eqpip-
ping the road to expeditiously handle
business Offered and to care for increas-
ed business. AT the same time, it will
be remem bered, the b. & o. began the
construction of a third track across the
mountains in this stale, which work is
progressing satisfactorily.

January LIST, 1909, that by July LIST,
1911, an income tax amendment would
have been submitted by republican
president, senate and house, and rati-
fled by majority of statesP Who
would have predicted that by that
time an amendment would have sub
mitted for the election of United States
senators by popular vote? Who except
ed tariff reduction so soon? And yet
the special session democrats wanted
but could not compel is here and
Brought by the sold gaurd.'
Now democracy Las its chance. Let
it prove 1t; let 1t meet the response
bilities of the hour.
First-Let it ratify the reciprocity
agreement-the failure to ratify which
brought the special session.
Second-Let it admit Arlzona and

Third Let 1t submit CONSTITUTIONS

Fourth-Let it reduce the tanH,
