POWER COMPANY WILL NOT PAY
Says Assessment of Taxes Without
New Commission Illegal

Denver, April 19.-The Central Colo.
rado Power company today declined to
pay its taxes on the ground that the
assessment had not been properly made.
The company maintains that the last
legislature enacted law providing foT
the state taxation commission and gave
this commission the power to value all
intercounty property. The commission
was never appointed and the state
board of equalization which placed the
value on the company's property has
not the right to perform that work. 1t
therefore is declining to pay the taxes
assessed against them. If the railroads
take the same position, as they posi-
bly, will, it simply means the holding
up of nearly all the taxes that can be
collected from the intercounty corpo-
rations.

THE CHANCES OF MARRIAGE

If you are widow between the ages
of twenty and twenty-five you have
the best chance of anybody of your
sex to be married. Widows from TWEEN
ty-five to thirty come next, spinsters
from twenty-five to thirty-ive third,
while the ''young things of from
twenty to twenty five hold fourth place.
Age conditions being equal, widows
have a better chance to marry than
spinsters. Likewise, widowers are the
champion marrying men, and bachelors
of equal age are outdistaneed. The
widows generally marry bachelors, how.
ever, and the widowers turn to spins.
ters
These are the conclusions of James
Oliver Curwood. who has compiled sta
tistics on the subject for Leslie IS
Weekly.
In spite of the popular belief twenty
five is not danger line for women,
for one out of every eight women are
married between the ages of twenty
five and thirty. They are the years OF
golden opportunity. Thirty, not TWEEN.
tyfive is the Rubcon.
The girl century ago had a thirty
per cent greater chance of securing a
husband than the girl today. The city
girl has twenty per cent advantage
over her small town and country cousin.
Up until the age of thirty, woman IS
greatest chance of marriage lies with
man approximately her own age.
Young women, twenty-five to thirty,
will do well not to waste time upon
men outside the champion class of
from twenty-five to thirty -fve.-The

ASKED TO AID
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

A concerted movement looking to Sc
ernment in the building of transconti-
mental highways was launched at the
meeting of the Old Trails association
in Kansas City April 18th and 18th.
Colorado was well represented at this
meeting, and will, through the Colora
doc Good Roads association, take
prominent part in the campaign to Sc
cure government appropriations for
good roads.
At the Kansas City convention dele
gates were present from the east ana
the west, states from Ohio to Arizona
being represented. Governor Hadley
of Missouri in an address to the dele
gates strongly urged the necessity of
united action on the part of the states
in order to secure from congress the
aid desired.
Colorado was represented by r. II.

RIO GRANDE TO SPEND
100000 ON RoADBED

Denver, April 24.-Within two weeks
improvements will be begun on the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad that will
cost about $7,OOO,0OO. Most of this
sum will be spent this year.
Joel F. Vaile, director and general
counsel of the road, and E. L. Brown,
vice president and general manager,
returned yesterday from New York,
where they have been for three weeks,
arranging for the meeting of the stock
holders to be held in Denver Saturday,
and for the beginning of work on the
improvements as soon as the money is
available.
The meeting of the stockholders IS
for the purpose of authorizing an issue
of $25,000,O00 worth of per cent
bonds. OF this issue $1O,O0O,OOO is to
be sold at once, and the proceeds used
in Denver & Rio Grande improvements
and to purchase securities of the West
ern Pacific.
A portion of the $1O,OO0,OOO will be
available within short time after the
stockholders meeting. The banking
houses of Blair & Company and Will
liam Solomon & Company have organ
lied a syndicate to underwrite part
of the issue, and they will. supply funds
as needed. Under the terms of the
issue stockholders are given the first
opportunity to purchase. Their sub
scriptions will be received between
May IL and June l. The syndicate will
underwrite what is not subscribed by
the stockholders. Present indications
are that this will be at least half of the
issue.
About $3,7OO,OOO of the amount viii!
be used in reducing the grades of the
main line in Utah and constructing 4
detour track. 1t is proposed to use
$2,500,O00 for the purchase of securities
of the Western Pacific to give that
road funds for improvements. About
$2,500,000 will be used for the purchase
of equipment. Orders for this will be
placed within few days after the
bonds are authorized.

IMPROVED LIVESTOCK

The apathy or Indifference which ex-
lists toward the Improvement of live
stock by the use of pure bred sires is
doubtless due, in a large measure, to
a misunderstanding of the term "pu-e
bred.' A pure bred animal is not one
that will respond to poor feed and care
more literally than the grade or scrub,
neither is it one that will live the first
of feed, and ultimately make strong
individual as a result of short period
of liberal feeding or improved environ
ment. On the contrary. the animal of
good breeding is one that is valuable
in proportion to its ability to responi
to good feed and care. AS result of
the selection practiced, the pure bred
comes into the world with greater
powers and possibilities of development.
toward some certain function. Such
characteristics, however, find expression
only when the factors favorable to
their development are provided. The
feed required to maintain the life of a
scrub and of a pure bred animal Of the
same same weight, is approximately
the same. Profit, however, does not
come from simply maintaining either
poor or a well bred animal, but rata-
er from the increased production which
results when the individual is fed in
excess of that needed for maintenance
As long as beef animal is fed enough
simply to maintain life, there will be
no increase in weight and consequently
no profit The outstanding character
istics of the well bred animal, therefore,
is the ability to consume and to fully
digest large quantities of feed, and t
is for this reason that they return the
greatest profits. This is just as we
should expect, for pure bred live stock
is the product of man, not of nature.

Under natural conditions the cow gives
scarcely enough to support her young
But as a result of increased feed, care
and attention, We now have dairy COWS
producing milk enough for several
Young as well as milk of very much
higher per cent of fat. Among the
important improvements made in breed
ing, there is probably none more wor-
thy of mention than that of early ma
turity. Here again it is obvious that
good feeding must have been ver.y
important factor in that breeder
could not have prudently selected for
this Characteristic without first having
supplied the feed and environment for
rapid growth.
Many other facts might be added to
the above in the way of explaining the
fundamental difference between poorly
bred and well bred stock. From what
has already been stated, however, the
reader should have little difficulty in
understanding why pure breds often
fail to do as well as grades or scrubs
when placed under adverse conditions
for which the well bred animal is par
ticularly unsuitei. Obviously, the
breeder who will succeed must first
supply the conditions that will bring
out the best there is in the individual,
and, second, select and breed from
those which respond most generously
to his increased feed, care and atten.
tion.

STEAMBOAT STRAWBERRIES

1t is only about three years ago
when the Moffat road afforded railroad
transportation to Steamboat Springs,
and already an important industry has
been developed there that will make
that region famous. The first season
after the arrival of the railroad 1900
crates of strawberries were shipped,
all produced from six-acre tract.
Twenty thousand crates and 100000
boxes have already been ordered for
this seasons crop, and the contract
calls for 5000 more crates at the same
price if they are needed. There will
be more than 200 acres bearing this
year, and the product will be shipped
to the principal cities of the east.

R1FLE1TEs PAY CASH
FOR AUTOMOBILES

Rifle, April 22.-Rife is the leading
small town in this state for the num-
Der of its automobiles. Five different
makes are represented and the cars
number thirty. Only in one or two in
stances have the owners gone in debt
for their cars; only in one instance
have the cars cost over $1,000. This
shows that the people of Rifle who
bought cars for either pleasure or profit
have acted safe and sane in their pur-
chases. Should this summer see good
crops, as there is every prospect, this
vicinity will have from forty to sixty
cars.

INQUIRIES FROM EAsTERNERs
INcREAsED FORTY PER CENT
DURING LAST YEAR

An indication of the tremendous and
ever increasing interest shown by east.
erners in the farm lands of the western
states is given in the annual report of
DR.. A. e. True, director of the Office of
experimental stations.
According to DR.. True the number of
inquiries from easterners about land in
the west increased at the unprecedent-
ed rate of more than 40 per cent dur.
ing the last year. DR.. True says:
"The widespread interest in irriga-
ton, the large sums expended in secur-
ing water supplies, the rapid settle
ment of land and the great agricultural
development under irrigation enterpris.
es have necessitated the expenditure Of
much time and funds in furnishing in
formation to prospective settlers and in
extending timely aid to those who are
endeavoring to establish homes in the
reclaimed portions of the arid lands of
the west.
"The number of inquiries from east
ern people for information concerning
agricultural conditions in the different
sections of the west has increased more
than 40 per cent during the last year.
"This demand has been so great that
it has been necessary to have reprints
of nearly all the bulletins of both thu
practical and state series described in
former reports.''

HOG CHOLERA SERUM
NOW OBTAINABLE

Fort Collins, April 22.-The news
that the State Agricultural college has
made arrangements to secure hog chol-
era serum of known and proven quality
at reasonable price will be warmly
welcomed by hog raisers Of the state.
Under the signature of DR.. George II.
Glover, than whom there is no higher
authority on such matters, the college
has issued the following bulletin.
Hog cholera serum of the best quail
ity and at minimum price may now
be obtained at the Agricultural college
at Fort Collins, Colorado.
Arrangements have been made with
the American Veterinary Supply com
pany of Kansas City, to furnish us
with serum for the benefit of the farm
ers of Colorado.
There has been very little hog ehol-
era in this state, and the serum being
expensive to manufacture in small
quantities, and for the further reason
that We have not had the money to
start a factory, we have referred all
requests for serum to eastern firms.
This is the DorsetNiles serum as
worked out and perfected by the Unite"
States department of agriculture and
manufactured by firm of well known
scientists.
We will sell it only into the hands
of qualified veterinarians, as they alone
are depended upon to administer it with
safety and satisfaction.
This arrangement has been made
solely for the convenience of the farm
ers, that they may be able to secure
fresh, reliable serum close at home and
at the minimum price.

IS THERE A FLOYD HILL
IN YOUR COMMUNITY?

On account of the refusal, for legal
reasons, to pay over the money appr5-
prated by the Legislature for good
roads, there was created, at Idaho
Springs, an extraordinary situation.
The people of this place had entire con
fdence in the availability of this APP
preparation, and had become rather
inactive and luke-warm like an indl-
vidual who is unfortunate enough 10
be supplied with all manner of means
by an indulgent father or some distant
wealthy relative.
But when it became known that there
was no money available, and that this
road must be made, and that Floyd II i'll
terror must be removed or Idaho
Springs would be nothing, this
was understood people began to get
busy.
A mass meeting at the opera house
was called. There was hardly standing
room in the building and the crowd
extended far back into the street. The
question was put fairly before them.
The situation reminded one of the time
when the Roman general landed his
army in Britain and burned the ships
before their eyes, and told his troops
there was no escape; that they must
conquer or be conquered. The enthusi-
asm was genuine and deep. People
felt as though their home, their city,
their honor, their all depended on the
action that might be taken at that
meeting.
Enthusiastic speeches We're mad.
Business men volunteered money and
labor. Heads of corporations pledged
the labor of their entire forces. Bank
ers and druggists, and their clerks,
volunteered to go and help make the
road. Even women gave of their
means from a dollar apiece up. Labor
ing men pledged their time to the last
limit of endurance. School children
We're anxious to help; and day was
appointed when the school was closed
10 give lne DOys a cnance 10 snow tne-r
local patriotism. One day was pro
claimed as holiday when the business
houses closed their doors and Idaho
Springs seemed like a deserted Vii
lage.''
This movement was reinforced by
every town throughout Clear Creek
county. every man had a mind to
work" Before the ground was froze
so hard they had to cease operations,
the road was SO nearly completed 1t
was considered an entire victory.
What would happen if Glenwood, and
every other city in Colorado, would un-
dertake, as enthusiastically as did
Idaho Springs, to remove the difficulty
that everybody recognizes as draw
back? Political and industrial evils
would be righted, idle men would be
set to work, and every family would
feel an irresistible force to do some
thing. Every yard would be made
beautiful, every dwelling would seem
to smile: and Colorado would become
famous throughout the whole world.
Is there an obstacle in your expert
ence that keeps you down? Conquer
it. Is there Floyd Hill in your com
munity? Cut it down.
