CoIorado's Winter Wheat.

Denver.-The government crop re
porter for December places the to-
tai acreage of winter wheat in Colo
RADIO on December / at $4,000 acres,
a gain of 21 900 acres over the same
date in 1909 The field value of the
crop on December / was $1,571,7 ,760,
against s1,S23,96O for the same date
last year. The decline in value in the
face of an increased acreage is due to
the long dry spell. The actual har-
vest probably will reveal big gain
over 1909.
The revised schedule for 1909, as
given out by the Department of Agrl-
culture on December IA, gives the
acreage of winter wheat in Colorado
on December / of that year at 10000
acres, against $4,000 this year. The
crop on December / was 80 per cent
of normal, against SO per cent en- the
same date last year. The farm value
is given as 50 cents a bushel on De
cember 1, against 81 cents month
ago and an average of rs cents BUSH
ell for the past ten years.

Report Of Mining Commission.

Denyer-Main causes OF coal mine
accidents, according to the Shafroth
commission, headed by Victor c. Alder
son, president of the State School of
Mines: Carelessness and ignorance
on the part of miners, mostly foreign
ers, in violating the accepted laws OF
safety; lack of discipline in almost
every mine visited, and, Indifference
of one division of mining operators to
safety of mines. Main recommended
tions: Establishment of a board of
coal mining commissioners that shall
supervise all coal mines in the state;
establishment by coal companies at
own expense of inspectors to patrol
mines and enforce rules; creation OF
mining institutes" to instruct coal
miners in their duties; that the pro-
posed commission hold examinations
and issue certificates to mine superin-
tendents, company inspectors, fore
men, fire bosses and "shotfirers,' and
that none but certified men be en-
ployed in such positions; division OF
state into seven districts with DEPUTY
inspector in charge of EACH that res
cue stations be provided in coal
centers; and that a revolution take
place in the prevention of fires and ex-
plosions in mines through the use of
fireproof materials in construction and
in ventilation; and that one cent per
ton of all coal mined be paid by oper-
n int fund to hp1y
penses of proposed commission and the
increased inspection cost And the
added cost to the mines will mean a :.
tual saving in freedom from catas-
trophe and accidents.

COMMISSIONERS DUTIES AND
SALARIES ARE TO BE PER-
MANENTLY FIXED.

Observation-Disclosures to the move
ment for a permanent tariff commits
sion was given by conferences at the
White House and the capitol, the re-
turn of Representative Longworth of
Ohio in Washington with a full draft
OF a bill creating commission and by
announcement of Chairman Payne of
the house committee on ways and
means that he expected such legisla-
tion before March 4th.
Following a discussion with the
President over various features of the
Legislative programme for this session,
Mr. Payne announced he was sure a
Lii for such commission, acceptable
10 the President, would be put through
the Senate and House before this ses
sion ends.
Later, at Mr.. Payne's instance, he
had conference with Chairman
Emery, of the tariff board, regarding
the personnel and salaries of the pro-
POSED commission.
ture of the work and the character OF
the men the commission would need
made it impossible to operate adyan
tageously if positions and salaries
were rigidly fixed by Congress, his
idea being that these should be fixed
by the commission itself. He sug-
sested that industrial experts might
have to be engaged for varying terms
at various compensations.
Mr.. Payne believes there should be
/. legislative check to the aggregate
expenditures. but is said to agree as
to the necessity of freedom of action
by the commission as to individual
items.

heart of a man, seems forever to retain
it's hold. People who have once lived

heaven and drinking water that springs
from the rock, purer than Moses struck
it, cannot live happily elsewh here. They
try it, conscientiously, the life of the

nation remains and the older a man
grows the stronger becomes within him
