Alfalfa Mills Operating

The big mill of the Colorado Alfal-
ia Milling company at this point is
now in full operation and will proba-
bly, be in commission until about the
middle of March next. Twenty-Five
men are now EMPLOYED at the mill
and the pay roll runs around $e,5oo
per month, which amount will be
greatly increased if a night shift is
put on, which is probable. The Auck~
land mill at King Center also start
ed up Tuesday and expects to have
a long campaign. as the yield OF al
falfa in this section this year is un-
usually heavy and of fine quality.
In the Ordway mill nearly all OF
the machinery is of the automatic type

desirable to feeders. The mill has a
capacity of I25 tons OF meal per day
and during the season that it will be
in operation it is expected to turn
out not less than 1889 tons of this
product The mill has contracted for
2,8oo acres OF the choicest land in
this county for producing the alfalfa

. The following special to the Pueblo
Chieftain from Ordway SO thoroughly
covers the cantaloupe situation that
we reproduce it in full. The pros
pect for next year is that the acreage
will be largely increased and that the
industry will assume much larger
proportions than ever before. The
special follows:
The last solid train load of the ia
nous Ordway pink meat cantaloupcs
was shipped from Ordway Saturday
night at II o'clock. This does not
mean that it is all the cantaloupes
that will be shipped out of here. for
it don't, as there will be several car
loads that will so east by express, but
it means the last red BALI freight
train out OF Ordway until the next
cantaloupc season. Had old Jack
Frost stayed off OF the job just two
weeks longer there would have been
over 500 cars OF the cantaloupes ship
ped to the eastern markets. instead
Of .l6S cars, as have been shipped.
The number OF cantaloupes in the
4oS cars were 36e,ooo crates, or 4,342,-
400 melons. Had the number of cars
been 500, as was anticipated, there
would have been 7,44oooo melons sent
east. There were very few pony
sized cantaloupes this year. After
the first week the two shipping firms
S. A. Gerard & Co., of Cincinnati,
OEio. and the Cru:chfeld & Voolfolk
company, of Pittsburg. Penn.,-would
not accept the pony sized melons,
(hat is fifteen melons to the crate,)
saying that their eastern customers
would take nothing but the standard
las Uwclvc melons to the crate). The
standard I2's minimum weight is ~
pounds, and taking US crates to the
car. the weight OF each car was a.
645 pounds. exclusive of the ice; each
refrigerator car will hold 5000 pounds
OF ice. This would make each car
weigh 3I.645 pounds. The entire
weight of the entire crop OF canta-
loupes. including the ice. would have
been u,7oo,S6o pounds. or 73.0Io
tons that went from Ordway in a lit
tie over four weeks.
There is field after field OF canta-
loupcs that not one melon was pick
cd from. Senator burris of Pueblo
has sevcnty-fvc acres that he only
got 1000 crates from; he should have
picked $4,000 crates at the least cal
him SII.,5o. The entire acreage was
ahou: 5000. 1t is safe in saying that
not more than two-thirds of the en-
tire acreage was harvested.
The average cost OF the freight per
car was about $I5o. the total freight
bill on the. entire .46S cars would go to
$4,000 Which is not at all bad when
one considers the size OF Ordway.
The Chicftain's Ordway corrc-
spondcnt in an interview with Jess
Cobb. agricultural agent for the

QUESTION OF DEATH PENALTY.

The official returns of all the in Ohio on September g.
reported for % counties favor the retention capital punish
ment by than $4,000 majority.
It great deal when 30246 vote to retain capital pun
shmnt when they changing other conservative laws and by
heavy majore adopt nearly all of the two amendments
to the state constitution
Those who dislike the nfcton of the penalty of death may
well pause and look beyond the law itself the code Of defensive
and protective statues of which it part.
AS death is the extreme penalty for the greatest crime it of
necessity occupies position at the top of the criminal code
From this extreme downward to the smallest misdemeanor
the penalties for crime graded
When the extreme penalty shall be abolished the entire scale
lesser penalties becomes affected the when the key
stone of arch is removed every stone in the structure oos
ened
This is the readily observed in the prison discipline
Men serving for life may kill their keepers and suffer no
penalty.
Realizing this the guards at the Ohio state penentiary
stated that their lives would not be under the protection of law
if abolition of the death penalty for murder prevailed
The murderous convcts at the Jackson Michigan prison are
without the deterrent influences Of the punishment DEATH and
the best that the authorities do is to give them the punish
ment of torture
This indicates that abolition capital punishment Michigan
has been long stride toward barbarism.
Rhode Island which abolished capital punishment about the
time that Michigan did had the difficulty in contro
ing her prisoners until in preference to- adopting torture the
law Of capital punishment for state prison conv enacted

SELECTION OF
HILO NINE

Editor Hawaii Herald: In the last
issue of the Tribune the suggestion
is made that combination baseball
team be selected from the best
rlayers in the Hilo League to play
the match against the Honolulu
PLAYERS who are to arrive here on
the Fourth of July. Under ordinary
circumstances the undersigned would
subscribe to just such a plan, but
there is too great a probability in
Hjlo that the personnel of the select.
ed team would depend largely on the
amount of pull possessed by the
candidates for places on, the team,
rather than to baseball skill. This is
o flat-footed statement which Will
probably be ridiculed by those in
terested none-the-less it is the op-
inion of a least one ball player of
prominence. To avoid the raising Of
this question suggest that the
management of the Hilo League
make the suggestion to Promoter II,
NJ. Ayres that the team to face the
Honolulu aggregation be the team
which has the greater number CT
POINTS to its credit in the local league
by the 4th' of July, This gives each
team a fair chance and viii enthuse
greater interest in the games Of the
league. OF course it will bar some
of the best players, for if the Chi
ncse won out the Desha boys would
not get a crack at the visitors, while
if the Hawaiis led the league table
the crack Chinese players would have
to sit still and watch the game, Still
