Relon of Terror in Cuba.

Standardization in the eastern
end of Cuba indicate that the Wash
ington authorities have no conception
of the real situation, aside from the
bankrupt state of the Havana govern
ment. The rural districts are being
depopulated OF peaceful citizens as
rapidly as the modes of transporta-
ton permit. and devastation is tho
chief occupation of both rebels and
guerilla volunteers. The country al
ready has been set back five years and
bitter race hatred aroused. The char
acter of the warfare overshadows the
property losses. and is SO shocking
that many details are unprintable. The
rebels, in organized bands, are con-
stantly bobbing up in new sections.
Many of the camps of marines have
been fired upon.
A parallel is found only In the his
tory of the Congo, which made old
King Leopold the most hated monarch.
Instead Of civilized warfare 1t is an
Inhalation and the majority OF those
being killed are not insurrectos. but
unarmcd blacks who hid in the brush
with their families when the Trouble
started. Defenseless boys are being
shot down on only the provocation
that their skin is black

THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
OF the Trio, Probably Representative
nedfisid Had the Best ocea-
slon to Smile.


The talk in one Of the cloak rooms
Of congress turned to the thought OF
the happiest moments in ones life.
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Rowland of Ohio declared his
big moment of Joy was when he was
permitted once to drive chariot In
a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redheld. who 10 .
wise chap, even If he does hail from
Brooklyn, said 1t was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisies
over from where he sat boy yawned.
II was not an ordinary yawn. but one
of such genuine expression OF feeling
toward things in general that 1t at
tracted Redneld's attention. He was
fortunate in having . paper wad right
1T hand, ready for any emergency.
and he aimed this at the boys caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and-well. Fourth
Of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says he almost smiled once on
ship board when the vessel gave .
lurch and threw a platter full q
beefsteak, gravy and all, over the
open-faced shirt front of = pompous
passenger across the table.

Arkansas Valley Experimental Farm

Rocky Ford.-An experimental farm,
probably the most unique of its kind In
the world. was started here this
spring, and already results have been
obtained that bid fair to be not only
of the utmost value to the Arkansas
valley, but to the state.
Four hundred and fifty varieties OF
grain and farm produce are growing
on this new farm and more than fifty
additional varieties are being trans
ierred from hotbeds.
Added to these, cotton. flax and to
bacco are being given 4 thorough try
out and II any one OF these proves
ade ptable to this region, will revolu-
tionize farming. in the valley.
The farm is the outgrowth Of the
Otero agricultural farm. which was or.
ganized last year and which brought
the farmers of this section together
in weekly meetings all winter. There
are only three and one-half acres de-
voted to the work-a sufficiency de
clare the men devoting their time to It.

Snow In Tbs Fl.s,epa

THE HERALD II indebted to an
upper White river correspondent for
the following record of snow fall:
In the way of comparison will give
the amount OF snow fall for the past
three years.
For the winter of 1909 and 1911, "a
feet Z inche; for the winter of l9lO-ll,
II feet: for the winter Of l0ll-12, Is
feet. This appears to be the greatest
snow fall on record for many years.
For which we will give monthly in
stallments.
Commencing with October, 2
inches; November, 3s inches; Decem-
ber, 32 inches; January, 81 inches;
February, 26 inches; March, AZ
inches; April, 33 inches; May 9
inches. Total 2l6 inches.
Some people eastward may think
this rather destructive, but the
ranchmen and cattlemen here are
more than pleased with results.
There may be losses, more or less,
but nothing serious. Heavy snowfall
gives plenty Of water, hence, good
crops, good grass and fat cattle.
This was taken in the valley of the
North Fork of White river, between
Buford and Fawn creek.
The year 1912 will be year of sad
remembrance for many people.
Disasters on land and waters, will
cause distress and mourning for
many years to come. J. M. N.

It's Up To The Governor

County commissioners Of the state,
backed by the vice presidents OF the
Colorado Good Roads Association
are opposed to the initiation Of bill
placing the Good Roads funds of the
state in the hands Of the State High
way commission. This sentiment
was expressed at Il joint meeting held
in Denver last week.
Resolutions were however unant-
mously adopted urging the governor
to convene the legislature in special
session in order that funds now tied
up, could be made available for work
this summer. These resolutions were
presented to the governor Saturday
morning by committee named
especially for that purpose.
Any attempt to initiate Dill
would, it is believed, be illegal since
the federal statutes provide that the
monies derived from the government
must be disbursed by the Legislature
of the state. The initiation and pas
sage of the bill propoposed by the
Highway Commission would there
fore be questioned as to the legality
of the measure, and fears were ex-
pressed that this would mean the
holding up of the state road funds for
one or more years pending further
legal proceedings.
Chairman G. p. Allen of the State
Highway Commission, notwithstand-
ing the sentiment expressed at the
Denver meeting, says the commits
sion will circulate petitions for the
initiation of the bill as proposed.
