1t is doubtful if any public affair
ever held in Garfield county will have a
greater and more far-reaching effect
than Carbondale's s Potato day of last
Saturday. As an event of interest and
education and real eye-opener along
the line of what can really be accom-
plished in the line of spud culture the
event was a hummer
After a splendid barbecue feed, due
to the untiring efforts of Max Grubb
and an able corps of assistants, the
crowds found their way to the Nall
where the products, principally pota-
toes, Were exhibited. One of the first
things to greet the eye of the visitors
was the splendid wall decorations which
had been designed by Frank Sweet, in
the way of potatoes and grains fres-
coed on the walls of the building.
The display of potatoes was the ad
miration of all and even people who
have lived in this country for many
years simply stared in wonder at the
piles of remarkably smooth and uni
form tubers that met their gaze.
To some potato is simply a potato
but here the effect of soil, breeding and
culture was so evident as to draw par
are potatoes and potatoes.
One of the youngest of all exhibitors
display consisted of 13 varieties as fol
lows: Red Mcclure, Norton Beauty,
Early Rose, Blue Victor Bliss Triumph
Pearls, Early Red Ohio, Early Whit
Ohio, Carmen No. 3, Charles Downing,
Russell Burbank, Irish Cobbler and
Gold Coin. Mr.. Edgerton' lowest
yield was $4,000 pounds and his highest
yield 36,5O0 pounds per acre. The Post
has secured some other data concerning
the success of this young potato grower
which will be printed in another issue.
The exhibit of Sweet & Sweet was
one of the very incest in the building,
showing the Perfect Peachblow, their
leading variety in both seed and mar
ket size as well as many other varie
ties.
Harry Shuttlesworth, H Il. Edger
ton, Mr.. Coquit and Sherman Bros. IF

Not long ago l enquired of this
merchant as to the young man pro

the merchant. Upon my expressing u
modest desire to be enlightened still
further, the merchant accommodated
me.

of those fellows that won't move an
inch without somebody behind to push.
He is perfectly willing to carry his
share of the load-I can't call HIM
lazy-but he will do absolutely nothing
on his own initiative. 1 have known
men like this who keep on going in a
straight line after somebody has given
them the push, but not he.
"When you let go of him he stops
dead. More than that, he is just like
wheelbarrow in another respect. You
have to use the greatest care to get
him turned out of any particular rut.
If you put new proposition up to him

he III upset every time. My arms are

SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Tenbrook of the Glenwood Green
Houses, who so generously donated ap-
proximately one thousand geranium
plants to the school children last fail,
made the announcement several weeks
ago that he was ready to look at the
plants with the purpose of ascertaining
which of the children had been the most
diligent or had shown the most aptness
in caring for the plants. All the chill
dren took their plants to the school
gymnasium last Friday when Mr.. Ten
brook and two others acting as judges
of the contest awarded the prizes to the
mast successful of the youngsters who
proudly shouldered their prize winning
plants as well as their prizes and went
happily home. Each prize consisted Of
fern plant and there being three
prizes for each grade and eight grades
in the school, the total number OF
ferns distributed was about twenty
four. This, as will be seen, meant quite
little expense as well as labor to Mr.
Tepbrook and while the returns from
the one thousand plants given out last
fall amounts only to about fifty or
sixty, those who had plants in the con
test were very enthusiastic over the
result, which we hope in measure re-
paid him for his effort. The prize win
ners were as follows:
First grade-Henry Craddock, first;
Hazel Poff, second; Verde Ostrom,
third.
Second Grade-Edna Dow, first; VIM.
sutherland, second; Earl Roberts, third
Third Grade-Robert Downing, first;
Florence Poff, second; Margery Robe
son, third.
Fourth Grade-Ethel Williams, first;
Meldon Bryant, second; Bulah Bowder,
third.
Fifth Grade-Alex Allen, first; Den
ny Mosley, second; Mary Hiatt, third.
Sixth Grade-Albert Robertson, first;
Margery Craddock, second; Evangeline
Williams, third.
Seventh Grade-Lucile Crawford,
first; Horace Darrow, second; Margaret
Burdge, third.
Eighth Grade-Louis Hammond,
third.

Congressman Taylor is keeping the
wires hot between here and Washington
trying to secure some kind of relief for
the residents of Montezuma county who
have been deprived of mail accommoda-
tions since the disastrous foods of a
few weaks ago put the only railroad
in that country in the discard. 1t is
said that Dolores, Mancos, Cortez aud
several other offices have been without
U. s. Mail for three weeks and that
although there is a large accumulation
of mail for that section lying in the
postoffice at Telluride, no provision has
been made to get it across the country
to the postoffices to which it has been
addressed. Mr.. Taylor is certainly
stirring up the animals and hopes for
some rseults very soon.

The football game played at Carbon
dale Potato day between Aspen and
Glenwood brought defeat to the Glen
wood boys, but the outcome of the
game was not surprising to the onlook-
ers because of the size of the Aspen
players. They weighed at least twenty
pounds to the man more than our boys
and went through the line for seven
touchdowns, making the total score &c,
having succeeded in kicking only one
goal. While the Glenwood team was
outweighed, they played clean game
all the way through and we are in 70
way dissatisfied with them.
Miss Tuttle, who taught physical cul-
ture in the school last year, will be
back to take up that position Monday,
filing the vacancy made by the resig-
nation of Miss Auten. Another teacher
is being secured to do Miss Auten IS
high school work which at present falls
upon Mr.. Girdler and the remaining
high school teachers When the new
teacher arrives she will devote all her
time to high school work, which will
make it easier for all
Subscriptions have been sent in for
a number of magazines which will be
kept on the high school reading table.
THE magazines were selected by Mr..
stoddard for reading by high school
students and large number of them
deal with the educational in instructive
topics.
Arrangements have been made to
give the J. s. White Lyceum course here
under the auspices Of the Athletic asso-
citation, the first number of the pro-
gram to be given early in January.
This circuit is small and select
one, containing but three numbers;
James Sewer Myers, lecturer, Shungc-
paw, Indian historian and slight of
hand performer and the Imperial Con-
cert Party, composed of three members,
reader, soprano and violinist.
The association has been very fortu-
nate in securing this company and it
would not have been possible had not
their manager desired to break the long
jump from Salt Lake to Pueblo by
giving a performance at some interme-
date point. This made material re-
duction in the expense.
All three of the numbers in this
course are above the average for lyce-
um circuits and have a national reputa-
ton as entertainers.
Some of the boys in the high school
have been pushing the financial end OF
this course and have secured enough
subscriptions for season tickets to in
ore the success of the entertainments
The exact time of the different per-
mances will be announced later.

NORTH BUTTE.
Future Depends on the Developments
at New Depths.

The year just ended has been one of
extraordinary development and explor-
atory work at the North Butte, total
new openings created for the period
being placed at about $4,000 feet.
Sinking at the Spectator, the main
operating shaft. is in progress to the
2,S00-foot level. which. however, will
not be reached much before April The
Spectator claim furnishes creditable
tonnage of rather low grade ore.
Probably the most important devel-
opment work receiving attention is that
contemplated following the compile
ton of the cross-cut from the Specula-
tor shaft. now in progress, to the Edith
May and Jessie veins.
The sharp decline in North Butte
shares two years ago was due directly
to the marked falling off in the copper
values of the Edith May and Jessie
veins at the 1000 and 1900 foot levels.
Since then the belief has been enter
tanned i'm some quarters that with add
ed depths these veins will disclose a
zone of secondary enrichment. Should
the forthcoming developments prove
that such conditions obtain, North
Butte will regain much of the favor it
once enjoyed in circles of investment
and speculation.
In the meantime the company has
greatly strengthened its position for
the handling and supplying a larger
ore tonnage, and should not again be
as il was two years ago.
The new shaft is bottomed at n
depth of $500 feet and has been af-
forded connections with the active
workings. Some promising develop
ments are reported on the Croesus and
other claims which are more than like
~ to become important contributing
factors of rather average grade of
ore. 1t is such developments that make
for stability, and we believe as a result
that the year just closed has strength
ened the position of this company as a
future producer of fair rather than
d high, grade OF ore.
AS above stated, much will depend
on the character of the prospective de-
velopments at new depths on the Edith
Nay and Jessie veins, which the future
alone will etermine-Hayden, stone
