AS OTHERS SEE US.

La Plata county, too, evidently has
set of narrow-minded, disgruntled
Nc58nty commissioners-two Democrats
and one Republican. Piqued because
of their inability to dictate the policy
of that city's- two daily papers and
weeklies, they accorded the county's
commercial printing to a Colorado
Springs outfit, and made an obscure,
patent-inside weekly twenty miles
from town and isolated from railroad
communication, the official organ for
the printing of legal and public no
tices. 1t is unfortunate that such mar
row-minded stupidity cannot be com
mensurately disciplined. The pinheads
simply had 1t In their power to vent
their spite on local publishers. and
took advantage of the opportunity to
exhibit their mental caliber.-Telluride

WHY MOTT

Fern, the little 2-year-old daughter
OF District Attorney George Lane. is
OF an observing turn of mind. and like
most other little folks OF that age,
thinks her mother Is the controlling
power in her universe. For some
evenings past she walked up Eighth

shining. and each time thought 1t was
very pretty.
Last night. as our readers probably
remember. the moon was not visible
early In the evening. Fern was taking
her mother home from town and just
as they passed The Herald office, the
little girl looked up at the sky. and
said in the most aggrieved voice.

THE FUTURE OF FRUIT
GROWING IN COLORADO

written by w. s. Coburn, ex-Presi-
dent State Board of Horticulture, for
the Railroad Red Book)
The past twenty-five years have
proven beyond a doubt that Colorado
is the coming fruit state of the Union
While some other states may be able
TO produce larger quantities. owing to
their larger areas of ullable land, II
remains for Colorado to raise fruit,
more especially peaches and apples,
not equalled by any for their high
quality. bright color and long keepers
In travelling from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Canadian
line TO the Gulf of Mexico, the verdict
Is the same. Colorado apples take the
lead and are freely acknowledged to
be the best of all. Our late exhibits
at Chicago and Omaha exhibitions,
where over two-thirds OF the pre-
miums were awarded to Colorado. only
confirm this statement.
We have occasionally heard In the
past that possibly when the whole
state of Colorado gets down to bust
ness raising apples there will be an
overproduction.
Let US take into consideration for a
moment that the one hundred millions
Of people Of the United States are
now asking for Colorado apples. Is
there another state in the Union In
which such conditions exist? Do the
people make especial inquiry for ap-
pies from any other state, and say
they prefer them to those from Colo
RADIO?
This. together with the fact that
orchard planting In the states east Is
not keeping pace with the increased
population, and old orchards are dying
out and being neglected, should allay
all fears of over-production In the fu-
ture.
Railroads are the civilizers of all
new countries. and the more tonnage
they have to haul. the more induce
DO not for minute entertain the
Idea that Colorado will ever be able
to even supply the increased demand
for the high grade apples she Is able
to produce, and the more immigration
we are able to induce TO locate. the
sooner we will hold out Inducements
for railroads to make connections to
distribute this product.
Thousands OF acres In Isolated
places are now only awaiting irriga
ton projects to develop them into the
finest orchards, while old sections
where these fine apples are now grown
q paradise for those who desire to
acquire a small acreage and retire
with a nice income.
Don't cast this article aside as a
booming real estate production, but re-
member 1t Is from a man who was
one OF the first who ever grew apples
and peaches In Colorado. and now has
eighty fine acres in bearing. and knows
what the future win be.
Come to Colorado and enjoy the
healthiest country In the world, pro
cure n piece OF land In one Of our
fruit growing districts. plant out ap-
pies and peaches and become indie
pendent.

Mr.. Goulds position had been tender

The same information was carried
by private kilograms to Denver com

number OF ways.
The New York Commercial, a finan-

Mr.. Gould's denial:
important plans are under CON

the Missouri Pacific. Denver & Rio

course OF the development of these
plans it Is expected that George J.
Gould will resign as president OF the
Missouri Pacific. a position which he
has held since the death OF Jay

The Western Pacific Is the road
