admit that he isn't cheap.
The Denver Republican also sums
up Mr.. Brake as follows:
'FIt is hardly possible that the

by his critics. A cursory examina-

Brakes vigorous campaign in the

patronage, only concerns his per-

officers permitted them to go through

Department of Agriculture
Starts Experimental
Wood puID Mill

Washington, Feb. 22.-Officials
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture have received with satisfaction
announcement from the experimental
ground wood pulp mill which the de-
partment has been equipping at Wau-
sau, Wisconsin, in cooperation with
the American Pulp and Paper Asso-
ciation, that the mill has begun to
grind. The carrying on of the tests
now announced as under way, was
provided for by special appropria-
ton, placed at the disposal of the
Secretary of Agriculture by congress
last winter, to conduct tests OF the
suitability of paper making of the
plants and woods which seem likely
to become valuable sources of the
supply of new material.
Secretary Wilson considered that
the best use which could be made OF
this money would be to conduct ex-
! periments on commercial scale,
with various kinds of wood. Some
of these have already been studied
in the laboratory and found to be
intrinsically valuable for pulp manu-
tacture. Indeed the Forest Service
has actually made paper by one OF
the chemical processes from several
of them, but in order to know
whether they can profitably be utel.

| Is necessary to test them under

Is desired to find out to what ex-
tent new woods can be used for

usually less than that of chemical

The Denver Post pronounces it
a disgrace for the legislature of this
state to have invited DR.. Cook to
lecture before it in the state house.
Following is that papers summary
regarding both Cook and Peary:
"The eternal fitness of things
could be no better illustrated than
the invitation furthered by Senator
Irby and passed by the legislature
to invite DR.. Cook to address the
legislature on Feb. oath. How birds
of feather flock together in this
curious old world of ours is an in
teresting thing. DR.. Cook should not
lecture on his past achievements of
taking. He should devote himself to
exalting the virtue of Annias, Juda
Iscariot and Benedict Arnold. No
doubt in these historical characters
he finds much to admire and has
found much to initiate. He is a
self-confessed prevaricator, an ac-
knowledged coward who ran away
and hid himself for whole year
when his treachery and lies were
exposed. He caused the name Of
America to be held up to the ridicufe
and contempt of the whole world
and he robbed the American peo-
pie of 100000, not one cent of
which he ever returned. He is a
disgrace to the name of America. He
lied for a consideration and con-
fessed he lied for another consid-
Grafton. He is silent upon his as
cent of Mt. Mckinley where it has
been proved absolutely that he print
ed a picture in his book as the top
of Mt. Mcinley that was twenty
miles away from the top. He has
done everything that was low
and despicable and mercenary, and
yet in spite of this record, he has
been invited to insult the entire
state of Colorado by addressing the
Legislature in the state house. So
far as we can conceive, this is as
base misuse of the capitol of the
state as has ever been suggested or
tolerated by an American common
wealth
Don't think for moment that
The Post has any use for Peary
either, for, next to Cook. Peary is
the smallest and meanest man in
America.

by a creature that should be ostra
cized and Stunned by every decen

Educational and Farmers
Association Meeting

Association Meeting
at Colorado Springs.
The following dispatch contains
part of the proceedings of the
above body held at Colorado Springs
last week.
Colorado Springs, Feb. 15-At
meeting late tonight the resolutions
committee of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative association
reported, following two days con-
ference on matters of legislation
which developed several fights in
executive sessions.
One of the issues fought out was
the proposed turning over to the
state for leasing purposes of govern
ment lands, and the application of
the money thus raised to the state
road fund Evidently this was not
favored by the majority. as no men,
ton of it was made in the resolu-
tions. The opposition to the measure
was largely on the ground that to
give the state control of federal
lands might tend to place pre-
MUM on graft.
The farmers went on record for
good roads, but opposed bonding
methods, favoring instead the sys-
TEN of convict labor that recently
has been in vogue.
The election of United States
senators by direct vote of the peo-
Pile is urged in the resolutions
adopted. The senate and house
bills providing for an agricultural
display at the Dry Farming Con-
gress, which are pending in the gem
eral assembly, were indorsed.
The convention went on record
AS in favor of parcels post. but lin
tied the weight of packages to
eleven pounds. The resolutions op-
posed a local parcels post system.
Endorsement was given the bill
pending in congress to regulate trad
ing in cotton and grain, which op-
posed gambling in futures.
Among themselves the farmers
discussed the general work of the
legislature, many of them taking the
stand that what is needed in
Colorado is more quality and less
quantity in legislation; also less eX-
travagance in the matter of ap
preparations by the legislature.
These features of the discussion,
however, were not part of the res
olutions adopted.
The resolutions indorsed the in
itiative and referendum laws. The
farmers also went on record as in
favor of the union label on all
goods.
George B. Lang of Langdon was
reelected president. The other
officers elected are Starr Nelson, of
Delta, vice-president; R. NJ. Wins
ton, Longmont, secretarytreasurer
The legislative committee were re-
elected as follows: J. c. Weigand

Whether the bath tub be made Of

be kept bright and smooth. A solution
of Gold Dust washing powder and
warm water will quickly remove any

or dark spots appear, these can be
easily removed by sprinkling little of
the Gold Dust powder on a cloth and
rubbing briskly. The water basin and
water closets may be kept perfectly
white if thoroughly washed with Gold
Dust once week. The use of Gold
