CROPS ARE LOOKING GOOD

Recent Rains Have Made Outlook for
Harvest Bright.
Recent rains in much Of the state
have improved the crops to wonder
full degree. In some localities small
grain has been affected by the contin-
ued hot weather of the past ten days
or two weeks, but in general the crop
ia In satisfactory condition. Cool
weather in June enabled small grain
to stool" well giving 1t a good chance
to withstand the hot weather now.
The corn crop during the past week
or two has made rapid growth In Its
early stages the crop was backward
because of the cool weather during
the greater part of June, but since
the coming of the hot weather 1t has
made up what it lacked In growth and
now Is about as far advanced as Is
customary at this period OF the sea
son.
The hay crop, which is about all
harvested, Is one OF the largest ever
raised In the state, and Is estimated
to be worth upward Of $4,000, 900 to
the farmers of South Dakota.
Reports from all parts OF the state
point out that the danger of drouth
is now past and bumper crop Is ex-
pected. There are still several places
where more moisture could be used to
good advantage, but Indications Of
crop failures are now at minimum.

The largest mining deal ever pulled off in this immediate sec ton of the country is an accom- plished fact, although the papers have not yet been signed by the parties interested. The Midas Copper Company have parted with their holdings on Solomon gulch to the Alaska Syndicate, the latter having assumed charge of the holdings yesterday.
 MT. George Baldwin, represents = ing the Midas Copper Company, and w. F. Dunklc, of the Alaska Syndicate, have gone to Cordova to draw up the necessary papers to complete the transfer, which, in due course of time. will be signed by the officers of the Mi das Copper Company.
 The property consists of t2 copper claims, originally located by Charles Dcbncy, who subse- quently bonded them to Sandy Carson for 5000, who, in turn, bonded it 10 inc present holding company for S6O,OOO.

He says II iS impraciicablc for competition to be carried on over the upper Yukon route against the lower, except for passenger business, which is not sufficient to war rant the expense of an open port, and which would he in violation of regulations which forbid the shipment of American goods be- tween American ports in foreign bottoms.

something to do with the cost of
living high There are many other
things which can be mentioned. The
telephone, for instance. One pion-
eer philosopher remarked: 1.-The
house wife of TO-DAY does not take
her market basket and go the
rounds as a buying expert of fam
lily supplies, as she used to do. She
merely calls up the store and Or
ders until she is tired, and when
the accommodating grocery clerk sug-
gests something else, she exclaims:
Mercy me, l never thought of that,
of course you can send some. The
cost of the telephone itself is some
thing and you are not allowed to
eat the instrument either. The peo-
pie, in a great measure. have Great
ed their own high cost of living.
Still there is always one remedy and
retrenchment open; a two-dollar a
year subscription to a home newspa-
per can be cut off.

PACKING FRUIT.

Colorado fruit,grow who need
instruction on the subject should be
glad to avail themselves of every op-
portunity to learn something about
packing fruit in boxes. An exhibit
zion OF this kind was given at the
farmers institute in Longmont the
other day, and the lesson should be
repeated in all fruit-growing dis
tricts.
The success of Oregon apple grow
ers in shipping their product to
eastern markets has called forth
much comment. That it is partly
due to the beauty and good quality
of Oregon fruit cannot be denied;
but it should not be overlooked that
much of it is due to the way in
which Oregon apples are packed
Colorado can produce as fine ap-
pies as Oregon, but growers in this
state will be at a disadvantage If
they fail to pack their fruit as well
as their Oregon competitors. Buy
ers will judge largely by appear
ances; and they will have some color
of excuse If they conclude that care
less packing indicates careless grow
ing.
The art of packing is not difficult
to learn or to follow. One must
give attention to it and it may
take more time. But the proverb
applies that what is worth doing at
all is worth doing well. 1t certain
ly is worth while for Colorado APP
pie growers to do whatever will
open for them all the markets OF
the East. The bigger the market
for Colorado apples the more extern
sive can profitable production be
made; and in gaining and holding
an apple market packing is one of
the greatest factors.-Denver Re

EDITORS GETTING BUSY.

The committee appointed by the
State Editorial association OF Colo
RADIO to draft bill to amend the bill
for publishing the initiated and re-
ferred laws has complete its task
and copies OF the petition are now
ready for circulation. About 10000
signatures of legal voters must be
obtained and the date for filing
has been set for February 18th.
AS all the editors of the state will
join in circulating the petition. the
matter of obtaining signatures will
probably be easily accomplished.
The proposed bill changes the
present manner of publishing these
amendments, initiated and referred
laws, as follows: At present they
are published in one paper in each
county four consecutive weeks and
the secretaries of state have inter
prcted this to mean five times in
those counties where there are week
lies only, and thirty times in those
counties where there are dailies.
This proposed law provides for one
time in two leading papers
of opposite political faith in each
county, which reduces it to one
third the present cost and places it
on an equal cost with what is known
as the pamphlet system"
The talking points of this meas
ure are:
/. 1t reduces the cost of adver-
Using initiated and referred bills
and constitutional amendments to
one-third the present cost.
2. Printed as they will be, the
supplement Is just as handy as
pamphlet.
3. The people are accustomed to
looking to the newspapers for all
public notices and publicity will be
a great deal better in the newspa-
pers than in the pamphlet law which
Is being initiated by the people.
4. We believe that the people of
Colorado look at this matter the
same as the average business man
does; II he has an important an
nouncement to make to the public,
he uses the newspaper, and we be
lieve that legal notices should also
be published in the newspaper to
get the greatest amount of publicity.
s. This method. you will notice.
provides nonpartisan publication In
every county in the state.
The special committee having in
charge the drafting and filing of
this initiated law has unanimously
agreed to request the editors to
guarantee that there will be no cost
for the publication OF this proposed
measure to the people OF the state.
and that 1t will ba published In all
papers and not simply the papers OF
one party.
