Colorado Crop Shows Decrease.

Denver.-The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has reviewed the
condition of the Colorado crop in the
October number of the Crop Reporter.
and finds that the yield of cereals and
vegetables on the first of October
was less than the yield year ago.
Only in the case of Colorado fruits is
there more promising production
than in 1910.
The spring wheat crop in October of
this year, for instance. is only IS per
cent of normal, whereas in October
of last year il was 20 per cent. Oats
this year is 80 as against SO per cent.
and barley is 80 as against 80 per
cent for last year. These figures re-
fer to production per acre. The
quality of these crops is slightly bet
ter than last october.
The Colorado potato crop is less
than half as good as a year ago. 1t
is only 20 per cent of normal while
last year at this time ii was 60 per
cent. Apples in this state are better
than In October 1910; the crop is now
70 per cent of normal as against SO
per cent year ago.

To Farm on Copper Lands.

A party Of Houghton capitalists
have under consideration the estab-
lishment at a point on the Copper
Range railroad south of Houghton Of
600-acre experimental farm. The
lands have already been secured. but
are at present heavily timbered.
Steps will be taken during the COM
ing winter to cut the timber, and
early next spring the stumps will be
removed and the land made ready for
cultivation. 1t is hardly probable that
crops will be planted before 1913, but
the enterprise when established will
prove one of the biggest from an agri-
cultural standpoint in the copper

A lot of Wall street men have. and he having had a large size scare thrown into him by the doctor list ened to Mrs. Grimes's pleadings with more patience than he ever had before.
 The partners held conferences, sympa- thized with each other, felt properly dis nal and then having no alternative took steps to wind up their affairs.
 It takes a lot of resolution for man to give up a business that has become part of his life, but Griggs and Grimes once they had come to a decision had arn- pie assurance they had made no mistake. Friends came to congratulate them on their good sense and gave fervent ex- pression to their good wishes that they. too, could quit the game. Neither Griggs nor Grimes appreciated the heavy load they had been carrying until their bl1s- mess was closed up and they were free Of all worries. Then they breathed easier,
 Within few days of the wind up of the house of Grggs & Grimes, as happy a couple as ever left the shores of Amer lea sailed on the Lusitania, Ernest Griggs told the host of friends who saw him off that he and his wife did not know whether they would be gone one year. i've years or ten. and they did not care. They would be creatures of circumstance They were going to begin to enjoy life. Every city was going to be their bome md no place their habltation. They were going to roam the world or loaf Just as 'ancy dictated.
 Wall street talked about Grlggs and
 irimes for almost 15 minutes one dull norning-and then forgot them, There were few lines in most of the papers md paragraph or two In some of the commercial publications about their long md honorable career and about how high
 y they were considered In the street MT. Griggs and MT. Grimes read this the morning the Lusitanla sailed. They felt -hey had read their own obituaries and we're plotted off the business man.

 The Sleeper Trunk Frauds
 The sleeper trunk game is one which was worked very largely before the ad- vent or Collector Loeb. It consisted of ieavlng trunks on the dock and of sneak ing them off after the inspectors and other customs officers had left. Some
  spiracy to defraud, but when MT. Loeb came Tn he appointed new set of watch men and reorganized the old force. He now has the docks under inspection day and night, and anyone attempting to take away trunk uninspected is ar rested. The business has been probed to the bottom and one of the chief sources of smuggling stopped.
 Another means Of passing the customs was by SDOnginP pff rh the labels, and others got goods through by bribing the officials Not many years ago I am told that one could lay s10, s20 or even $50 bill on the tray of his trunk and the inspector who examined 1t thought nothing of putting the bill in his pocket and closing the lid. Even now checks arc sometimes sent to the inspectors by passengers who have been we'll treated. but such checks are in- variably turned in to the collector. for If the man did not and 1t was discov- cred. he would surely be dismissed.

UNCLE SAM, DETECTIVE-By Fra1k c. Carpenter

In such cases Uncle Same has the right to strip any of his nephews and nieces to the bare skin, and this is sometimes done when occasion demands. Pearl necklaces have been found in the hair and a ,lla-. mond was once discovered under the little toe on the left foot of lady, while some valuable rubles were recently smuggled into New York under a porous plaster on the back of man. In this latter case the spies of the treasury department had sent warning to the inspectors, and when this traveler-he was an Austrian landed, dozen red stones were found in his cravat. They were tested and it was discovered that they were not real rubies. The man was therefore let go, and cable to that effect sent to Europe. The spies cabled back that he be exam ined again, and he was searched at the hotel The porous plaster had disappear ed, but dozen little holes in the skin showed where the rubies had lain.
 Big Fines for Big Men
 I came to New York this week to in- Vestigate what Uncle Sam, patriarch, has really done in increasing our custom house revenues. I have visited the wharves and have watched the big steam- CTS come in. I have also spent some time at the custom house where the collector VI SNSNOtAA's WAlLdHu LOeDt JT., mas nuQ every source of information thrown open to me With other things he has given me typewritten list of the criminal pros- cautions which have been made by his office In the past two or three years This has the names of scores who have gone through the courts and have been fined all sorts of amounts from s1 to S25,o0O. The total of the, fines alone up to November 1 was little over s200,000, and fIat tC fC koe +1II l. amounts which have been collected through undervaluations and on mer- chandise, to which I refer farther on.
 These fines are almost altogether rom people who have tried to sneak things through in their baggage from the steam ers The offenders are of all classes from New York milliners and dressmakers to some of the richest and most prominent of the land. One is the wife of a for mer governor of New England, and an- other that of a prominent politician of West Virginia. Each of these ladies tried to snuggle in jewelry and each was fined s50OO.

Upon this her husband de- nounced the government for prosecuting travellers who sought to bring in "a few petty things fre." As 1 remember 1t,
