Ancient River Discovered.

Greeley.-That the bed of an an
cient river, into which abundant
streams are still pouring, winds under
meath the plains in the vicinity Of
Pierce is the opinion of" those who
have been sinking wells in that re-
gion and was further substantiated
when James Gault discovered the pet
rified bones of mammoth in the ex-
cayatiou for well on his farm east
of Pierce.
Dan Kinney of Eaton, in "witching
for water on the Gault place, located
the we'll when others had failed. The
depth is twenty-seven feet and big
stream was encountered, sending out
a flow sufficient, Gault says. to irri-
gate his farm of 100 acres.
There was no evidence of water for
twenty feet, when suddenly the strata
became moist and what first ap-
peared to be big rock was uneoy-
cred. Close inspection showed it to
be the remains of mammoth. The
opinion of those who have explored
the country is that they are the pet
rified bones of one of the big ele-
phants which roamed this territory
millions of years ago and browsed on
vegetation along the river. The same
kind of fossils are found along the
Platte river.

Tanning a Wild Horse.

They will not submit to mans rule
and are therefore unserviceable.
They become badly frightened when
man approaches nearer than two or
three rods of them.
The Russians claim that by
methods of comparative anatomy and
in other ways they have proven that
the Cobb desert horse is distinct
species Of the genus horse. The
name, forelock and tail are not un-
like the domestic animal, and, like
them, they neigh and snort. Most
naturalists have, until now. believed
that the true wild horses with an
unbroken line of Wild ancestry were
extinct.
1t is the general opinion that the
domestic horse Of today was mainly
derived from three wild species, which
have been named the steppe, forest
and plateau varieties. The Cobb
horse is representative of the
steppe variety. This horse in It's
wild state lives in the level districts
and goes at night to the pasture lands
and drinking places. At break Of day
1t returns to the desert, where 1t rests
until sunset.
When there are nursing colts in
the herd the animals always rest
in the same place. They usually
walk one behind the other. SO that
the region where they live Is covered
with deep tracks.

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
DOM G S
Three Appropriation eIIIs.
o o ! N G S


There are now before the State
Legislature OF Colorado three appro-
priation bills which have very direct
and important relation to the irrlga-
tion development of this state. These
bills were introduced by Senator Car
penter and have not yet been report
ed out by the finance committee.
The first bill is entitled IAN act
concerning a division OF Topographic
surveys. providing for the manage
ment and duties Of the same, and for
cooperation by such division with the
United States geological survey, and
making an appropriation therefor"
The appropriation named in the bill
is 100000 annually. The nature OF a
United States geological survey map
is probably known to every one who
has been interested either in mining,
irrigation or engineering work. These
maps show the Topographic features OF
the land, such as mountains, hills, val
ley and gulches; all bodies of water,
such as lakes, marshes, streams and
springs; the routes of travel, such as
railroads, wagon roads and trails,
CltleS, toWAs anu pei i"ahShI puiAu
ings, and the names Of natural and
other features. as well as permanent
monuments which are available as
starting points for local surveys. town
ships, section lines, boundaries and
land grants. They serve great varie-
ty OF purposes, but are especially val
liable In connection with preliminary
locations of railroads, canals and high
ways. and are very useful to prospec-
tive investors and settlers in making
a study of the country in which they
propose to locate. They are also very
valuable to travellers. prospectors. ETC.,
as guide maps. They are very useful
in the study of water powers and the
development of the mining interests
Of the state.

Peach Crop suffer. Most.

Grand Notwithstanding has
been general throughout the Grand
valley and for six miles the valley
looked like one big bonfire. From
midnight until after sunrise every
ranchman was out with his smudge-
pots. The temperature in some places
dropped to 20 degrees outside the or
chards, but the lowest temperature in
the smudgepot area WIS rs degrees.
In most places the smudgepots kept
the temperature above 81 and 2S. 1t
is impossible to get an accurate esti-
mate of the amount of damage done.
but fruit experts declare apples and
pears are not injured to any extent.
Peaches suffered most. and rs per
cent of full crop is all that will be
harvested.

Coal Lands May Be Developed.

Trinidad-The presence here of w.
L. Bretherton, confidential secretary
his inquiries, have led to belief that
the senator intends to develop large
tracts he holds in the Stonewall VAL
ley, which contain great deposits of
coal. The understanding is that Mr..
Clark intends to open his coal mines,
establish large coking plant and also
one for the manufacture of titanite, a
high explosive bi-product of coke.

STILL IN HIS POSSESSION
Remarkable Coincidence In Sum Of
Money That Rastus Had In
His Pocket.

Rastus was on trial. charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-hve
cents. He pleaded not guilty. and. as
he was unable to hire an attorney, tho
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel Clearem put up strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was ac-
quilted.
Counsel and client met few min
utes later outside the court room.
Now, Rastus," said Clearem,
you know the court allows tho
counsel very little for defending this
kind of case. 1 worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled to
much more pay than. I'm getting for

Parent. and Children. Faults.

Parents ought to collaborate with
teachers In helping to develop the

(says Ella Wheeler Wilcox find par
ents taking stand against the
teacher who tries to talk of the faults
of their children and discuss rem
edy, and all the work which the teach
er has hoped to do in character build
ing falls to the ground under the
lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
MY child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who sees faults
is an enemy, not friend. 1t is sell
dom, indeed, that man or woman
occupying the position Of teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criucising a child.

Eaton.-The Farmers union here in

and held an informal discussion on the
advantages of buying farm supplies

chase all grain and potato sacks used

the alfalfa seed planted there this
spring. In this way the farmers say
they save the profits OF the middle
