orado instead of going to Europe. We
ought to make the wondrous sights
of our state known to the world and
when that is done Colorado will be-
come in truth the playground of the
nation"
Enos A. Mills, of Estes Park, whose
hobby he claims is scenery and good
roads, said emphatically in his
speech, See America First" Mr..
Mills paid a splendid tribute to the
new road He said that it stood
unique in two respects. First in the
scenery it represents; second, in the
manner in which it was built. He
said that there were great gorges over
the world. but this one stands alone
In that for narrowness compared with
depth, 1t is not equalled in the world.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
in, Arizona is deeper, but it is thirteen
miles across.
In addition to their commercial
value" said Mr.. Mills, tourists are
also a distinct benefit on account u
their character and coming as they
do from every land and cline, they
bring a wealth of thought"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Mills
speech. a motion was made and car
ried unanimously by a rising vote
that it is the sense Of this gathering
that the next annual state good roads
convention be held in Pueblo next
January. Perhaps the most carefully
prepared address of the day was that
of former Governor Alva Adams, who
spoke on The Royal Gorge of Colo
rado Of America" He said in part:
There are 100 gates to the temple
of Colorado's prosperity Scenery is
one of them, but the one that has been
the most neglected. People traverse
the world to see scenery one-half as
magnificent as the great chasm that
yawns before us. | stood on Tiger Hill

Himalayas and the sight was grand.
But those mountains for nine months
in the year are obscured by clouds

twelve months in the year, bends a
sky as clear and beautiful as the cry
stal dome OF the New Jerusalem. Bar
barism has needs only for trails, but
civilized man must have great high

TRUNK CONTROVERSY
MAY BE COMPROMISED

CHICAGO. May 6.--Local merchants
and trunk manufacturers who have been
engaged in controversy with the rail-
roads over the plan to charge excess
baggage rates for long and bulky trunks,
including the wardrobe" trunks and
other freak shapes and sizes, have been
advised that the Trunk Line association
representing the roads east of Buffalo
have receded somewhat from their posi-
ton. The roads agree to carry trunks
free UP to As inches in longest dimen-
sion.
The rule adopted for all the roads in
the country to take effect on January
/, provided for an excess charge for
all trunks over 40 inches. Those who
are opposing the new restriction, there
fore. are hoping that the compromise ac-
ton of the trunk lines will lead to a
reconsideration by the other territorial
passenger associations.

ANSWER.
Your chicks have indigestion, and
as, at the time you name, they are
getting a new coat of feathers, 1t is
very easy to upset their digestive or
gans. IT would be best for you to re-
duce some of the grain feed and feed
them, at least once per day, a mash
feed. Also. see that they get plenty
of water before they go to roost at
night. Do not allow them to be
crowded at night Use some liver med

ANSWER
White fowls of all kinds have ten
dency to brassiness, but there are so
many good ones now that are free from
this defect that 1t is throwing away
time to try to breed from the ones
that show ii too much. However, it
can be bred out. All white fowls
should be pure white, and the Stand
ard requires cut of IL to IL in
each section where brassiness is found
in all white fowls. IT would pay you
in the end. If you expect to breed

tically free from this defect.
