DRY FARMERS ARE JUBILANT

Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Aug. An unusual
amount of moisture and rainfall this
summer has assured the farmers in
the dry land sections of the state of
abundant crops this season. The
federal government has assigned ex-
perts in dry farming districts
throughout eastern Colorado. cover
ing the counties of Kit Carson. Lin
coin and parts of Ell Paso. They will
aid the farmers and give them in
structions when necessary; the soil
of each farm will be analyzed for the
purpose of determining definitely
the class of crops the soil is best
adapted to. The experts also will
give information on the breeding of
stock, the proper care of poultry and
the rotation of crops, etc. The prop
er rotation of crops, it is claimed
will do much to solve the problems of
dry farming, and the government ex-
perts believe the successful develop
ment of eastern Colorado must come
from the raising of drouth-resistent
feed crops, as well as grain crops.
These experts will also study climat-
ic conditions in the district.

Water Power olicy
Brought To an Issue

Washington, Aug. 1.-The ad
ministration is lining up for fight
in congress in defense of its policy of
the conservation of water power, and
in this instance President Taft has
behind him such men as Clifford Pin
chot, former chief of the forestry bu-
reau, and other conservation leaders.
Secretary of War Stimson devel-
oped the issue when he upset the
policy of the war department of for
mally approving, without reference
to commercial and other conditions,
the bills annually passed by congress
for the erection of dams and utiliZa-
tion of water in streams under the
control of the government.
The secretary instructed the army
engineers to report in every case
whether the project had any com
merCial value at present; whether
that value was likely to enhance in
the future; whether the particular
stream was likely to be improved at
the public expense. He wanted this
| to enable him to say whether the
projectors of the various enterprises
should be called upon to share their
profits with the people in case they
proved lucrative, or whether some of
|
should not be applied to the improve
ment OF the navigation of the stream
at other points, thus relieving the
general taxpayers.
| Immediately protests came from
congressman who are furthering bills
for the development of water powers.
The secretary, backed by President
Taft, served an ultimatum on these
senators and representatives that no
water power bill would be approved
by the war department unless in
each bill clause is inserted looking
to the division of the profits with
the national government.
Today word came from the capitol
to the war department that a combin-
alton had been effected of the CON
| gressmen who believe the capitalists
who are willing to undertake the
risk of developing the water power
are entitled to all the reward, and
| that an effort is to be made to bring
up all these measures in an omnibus
bill already favorably reported, and
put it through the house.
This notice has caused the admin
istration to rally it's forces for a big
| fight on the floor.

Tor lieutenant governor
When the result was announced it
showed that Sulzer had 447 and Glynn
) votes. These three were from
Cayuga and were controlled by Thorn
as Mott Osborne, who had led the op-
position from the start. Sulzer was
consistent gamer after the first bal
lot.
AT the beginning of the fourth bal
lot, the ball was set rolling by Albany
county, which changed it's nine votes
from Glynn to the congressman. This
was followed by two other counties
with small representations which also
switched to Sulzer.
Without waiting for Kings county
to be called, Herman A Metz, former
controller of New York, took the floor
and withdrew from the contest in
favor of Sulzer. In an instant Sena-
tor Robert F. Wagner of New York
was on his feet and announced that
New York would cast it's los votes for
Mr.. Sulzer.

Milwaukee, Oct. 3.-Chief interest
in the opening session Of the Coop
erative Safety congress centered In
an address prepared by Charles c.
McChord, member of the interstate
commerce commission, dealing with
what has been accomplished and what
is needed to insure safety on rail-
roads.
Excessive speed as a factor In
train accidents deserves serious con-
sideration,' said Mr.. McChord. ga
number of derailments investigated
were due directly to speed too high
for the existing conditions Of track
or roadbed, and in several serious col
lisions high speed was an important
factor.
Failure of railway officials to de-
termine with scientific accuracy the
limits of safety, especially with re-
spect to speed on curves, no doubt
has led to many derailments."

contributed 100000 to the campaign
fund of 1904 and charges by Senator

the Standard Oil company contributed
100000; J. P Morgan & Co., $780,
900; H c. Frick, 100000, and George
