At noon Mr.. Lincoln's work was
interrupted. The president of the
United States was announced. Mr..
Buchanan had come to escort his sue.
cessor to the capitol. The route of
the procession was tho historic one
over which almost every president
since Jefferson had Travelled to take
his oath Of Office: but the scene Mr..
Lincoln looked upon as his carriage
rolled up the avenue was different
from that upon which one looks to-
day. No great blocks lined the
streets; instead, the buildings were
low. and there we're numerous vacant
spaces. Instead Of asphalt, the car
riage passed over cobblestones. Nor
did the present stately and beautiful
approach to the capitol exist. The
west front rose abrupt and stin from
an unkept lawn. The great building
itself was still uncompleted, and high
above his head Mr.. Lincoln could see
the swinging arm of an enormous
crane. rising from the unfinished dome
But. as he drove that morning from
Wizards to the capitol, the president
elect saw far more significant sights
than these. Closed about his carriage

pl otecting guard.
Arm in arm with Mr.. Buchanan
Mr.. Lincoln passed through the long
tunnel erected for his protection, en-
tered the capitol. and passed into the
senate chamber. filled to overflowine
with senators. members OF the diplo
matte corps, and visitors. The con
trast between the two men as they
entered struck every observer. "Mr
Buchanan was SO withered and bowed
with age" wrote George w. Julian OF
Indiana, who was among the spec
tators, that In contrast with the tow
ering form of Mr.. Lincoln he seemed
little more than half a man"
A few moments delay and the move
ment from the senate towards the
east front began, the Justices Of the
Supreme court, in cap and gown,
leading the procession. AS soon as the
large company was seated on the plat.
form erected on the east portico of the
capitol, Mr.. Lincoln arose and advanc.
ed to the front. whei, he was intro
duced by his friend. Senator Baker OF
Oregon.
There was q moments pause after
the Introduction, as he vainly looked
for spot where he might place his
high silk hat. Douglas, who was seat
ed just behind him. stepped forward
quickly and took the hat which Mr..
Lincoln held helplessly in his hand.

pered, smilingly to Mrs. Brown, a
cousin of Mrs. Lincoln, II at least can

49, AYBREAK Of March 4, 1861,
N~ says Miss Tarbell, found
the city of Washington
$ astir. The senate, which
~ had met at Z o'clock the
night before. was still in
session; scores of persons who had
come to see the Inauguration of the
first Republican president, and who
had been unable to find other bed
than the floor, were walking the
streets: the morning trains were
bringing new crowds. Added to the
stir of those who had not slept
through the night were sounds un-
usual in Washington-the clatter Of
cavalry, the tramp of soldiers.
All this morning hustle of the city
must have reached the ears Of the
president-elect at his rooms at Will
lard's hotel. where from an early hour
he had been at work. An amendment
to the constitution of the United
States had passed the senate In the
all night session, and as 1t concerned
the subject Of his inaugural, he must
incorporate reference to 1t in the ad-
dress. Then he had not replied to the
note he had receivd two days before
from Mr.. Seward. asking to be releas-
ed from his promise to accept the
portfolio of state. He could wait no
longer.
Il can't AFFORD" he said to Mr.. Mic
olay. his secretary, ito let Seward

And he dispatched the following let

instant, asking to withdraw your ac-
ceptance of my invitation to take
charge of the state department, was
duly received. 1t is the subject of
the most painful solicitude to me. and

countermand the withdrawal. The
public interest. think, demands that
you should. and my personal feelings

IRRIGATION WORK FARMERS
WEEK AT THE AGRl-
CULTURAL COLLEGE

Actual laboratory practice in irrl'
CATION work will be given as a lea
ture of the Farmers week program
at the Agricultural college, TINS
wear, Tor the lirst time. This is made
possible by the completion anu
equipment OF the new irrigation
building. This building is unique
IRON the fact that it is the onl!
building in the United States con
structed and equipped exclusively loI
irrigation engineering.
The development OF irrigation by
pumping in this state promises to
be OF more Importance in the future
than any other phase OF the lrrlga-
ton problem. Pump work Will be
taken up in the irrigation labora-
tory and the different kinds OF
pump, their construction. cost, efflc-
iency, and operation will be demon
strated. All this work will actually
be done by the farmers themselves,
who will learn to do by doing.
The construction OF the different
kinds OF standard weirs, and their
operations, Will be demonstrated in
the same way.
Each year water becomes more
valuable to Colorado, end its accur-
ate measurement more important.
For this reason attention will be
given to water meters and their use.
The much veXed question of the
relation of the miners inch" to the
second foot and the acre foot will
be made plain.
The development of irrigation in
mountain regions requires economi-
cal and efficient fumes. Flume work
will be demonstrated in the labora-
tory with first-class equipment. Pipe
work will also receive its share OF
attention.
To insure the success of all these
lines OF work prominent manufac-
turers of irrigation machinery are
donating equipment to supplement
that regularly used by the irrigation
of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College. A special corps of
ASSISTANTS has been employed to as
sist the farmers in the operation of
this department.

farmers over in the old country

ton and other special uses. We

TAKING THE INITIATIVE

The man who hits first usually
wins the fight. The first to recognize
the danger is the fellow who is pre-
pared when it comes time to do bat
tie. While the other fellow is won,
dering and hoping that the threat.
ened storm will blow over. the one
who has been getting ready comes
out on top.
This applies to street brawl OF
a war on q grasshopper pest. The
farmers of Colorado have been stung.
They have taken enough from the
voracious hopper and have risen
against him. They have taken the
initiative before it is too late. They
have come close enough to the real
thing to realize that fight is immi-
nent, so have hit the first lick.
Hard headed fellows who know
the game met in Greeley yesterday
and listened to the pros and cons
intelligently They represented many
OF their kind who had delegated
them to act in accordance with their
best judgment. This action was that
organized effort should be made at
once to eliminate the grasshoppers
before the insects should ruin the
crops.
When the hat was passed a liberal
contribution came, indicating that
there was more than sentiment be-
hind their desire to do the thing at
hand we'll.
Professor Lory, president of the
Agricultural college. VINO is in a
position to know. declares that Colo
RADIO is equipped to win the fight
with the hopper. All that is needed,
he says, is cooperation. This is
necessary in any great work. With
the Impetus given by yesterdays
convention and the general interest
aroused in the war on pests, there
ts no reason why everyone should
not enlist in the cause of the common
good.

STATE IMMIGRATION BOARD
HELPING POPULATE STATE

Nearly 100000 booklets de-
scribing the agricultural, manufact-
uring, mining and other Industrial
opportunities in Colorado. were dis
tributed by the state board Of immi-
grafton during the period from April
2, 1910, to November 80, 1910, ac-
cording to the first report of the
board, just issued.
The literature was mainly dis
tributed through the mails, and at
the big land shows, where the Colo
RADIO exhibits were always the lead
ing attractions.
In the report Commissioner Alfred
Patek calls particular attention to
the rapid increase in the work of the
department and of the necessity for
an appropriation by the next general
assembly larger than the $4,000
furnished by the last.
When the immigration depart
ment started upon it's duties on April
2, 1910. the only Information Colo
RADIO had on its general resources,
that was adaptable for distribution
among prospective settlers. was in
the hands Of the Colorado State Com
/ mercial association.
Immediately upon the creation of
this new department, the state as
sociation, through Col. w. E. Skin
ner, its president. and j. C. Craig,
secretary, rendered all of the mater
ial this body had gathered.
This formed the foundation of the
present we'll equipped information
bureau, which the immigration board
maintains.
An intensive advertising campaign
was inaugurated by the board, cost
ing about 5000 month. This cam
paign was carried on in agricultural,
dairy, stock and fruit publications
to reach the rural class, and in big
dailies to get in touch with the city
dwellers. Through the medium OF
this advertising the board announces
In its report that Colorado has been
directly benefited by the acquisition
OF hundreds of substantial settlers
while the inquiries run away up into
the thousands.
