Gruesome Tower.

A strange monument of modern bar
barism still survives at Nish, in south
east Servia. During the War OF In
dependence in 1909, a Seryian gar
rison there exploded a powder maya
zine and persisted therein rather than
fall into the hands of the Turks. A
battle had previously taken place, and
the Turks commemorated their victory
by erecting rude tower, ornamented
with the heads of their enemies. Old
people will tell you that there were
once ] 200 heads, but as the tower
was never more than 20 feet high,
this is probably an eXaggeration.
Lamartine and other travellers give
descriptions of the tower. Visitors
were in the habit OF carrying off
skulls as souvenirs, but when Nish
became Servian the remainder were
iken away for decent burial, all save
few that were too deeply embedded.

GOVERNOR AND
THE new CAPITOL
DONACHEY MADE GOOD"
EDITOR SAYS HE FULFILLED
PLEDGE AND SAVED STATE
MONEY.
from the Paragould Soliphone.

(From the Paragould Soliphone)
Congressman Robinson in his print
ed address declares that Donaghey
has violated his pledge to complete the
statehouse. He reiterates the charges
made against the governor in the last
campaign. He says the governor
promised to do the work in one one
year, that he has had three years to
do it and now wants another term as
governor to complete the capitol.
AS matter of fact, the governor
has made good on the statehouse job,
in spite of the charges of his critics
to the contrary He was sworn in as
governor in January, 1909. He had
the legislature on his hands four
months Immediately after taking
charge of the office. There was no
money appropriated for the purpose
of continuing the work and to tear out
the defective work put in by Caldwell
4 Drake, for which $175,000 was APP
propr;ated. Caldwell & Drake had,
up to that time, already spent approx
imately 100000 on the job A COM
mittee composed of members of the
legislature was authorized to pass up
on the work as to whether it was good
or bad. The committee employed ex-
perts from the war department at
Washington to inspect the work and
they pronounced it bad and recon-
mended that good portion of it be
torn out and rebuilt
When this work started Caldwell &
Drake brought suit to stop it and sue
ceeded for time. The chan '3r te-
fore whom the suit was rought
granted an injunction restraining
Donaghey from proceeding with the
work. Donaghey appealed to the su-
preme court and beat the case. 1t
was far into the winter of 1909-1910
before the work of demolishing the
Caldwell & Drake construction was
completed and then the governor had
to start it over He pushed the work
rapidly to completion, and by the first
of January, 1911, had the building
completed, above the basement line, as
called for in the original contract.
The first appropriation made by the
legislature for the new capitol was in
1899, 10 years ago. This appropria-
ton was $4,000 and was made to
purchase the grounds. In 1903 the
legislature, under Governor Davis
appropriated one million dollars fol

When Governor Davis retired from
the governors office in 1907, this mil
| lion dollars had been practically ex-
hausted and still we had no state
house. Governor Davis had a million
dollars and four years time in which
to build the statehouse and retired
from office with practically nothing
DONE This is not said as a political
blow at Governor Davis in the present
campaign, but is merely stated as
fact that is matter of history that
no one can deny. In other words,
with million dollars in money to be-
gin with, work on the statehouse was
begun in 1903, and in January, 1909,
when Donaghey was sworn in, there
had been little done, and what had
been done had to be torn out, because
it was not done right, according to ex-
perts and the legislature. In two years
after Donaghey was sworn in the
original Caldwell g. Drake contract
was completed. Does that look like
Donaghey baked on the job? 1t re-
quired several months to take out the
botch work of Caldwell & Drake. Yet
Mr.. Robinson, who could not put
roof on hen house and who does not
know a jackplane from ripsaw, tells
US that Donaghey has made a mess of
the statehouse. Do you think he is
sincere in this criticism? Rather,
don't you think he is saying it for po-
litlcal effect, because he wants to beat
Donaghey for governor?
In giving figures in the construc-
ton of the statehouse Mr.. Robinson
charges the governor with everything
that has been spent, even before Don
agheys day, all that Donaghey has
spent himself, all that he thinks Don
aghey wants to spend, with interest
on the whole amount, and fixes it at
the fabulous sum of more than two
and half million dollars. Joe is a
fine computer when he computes in
figures that he thinks will help him to
be elected goveronr
But what is meant by completing
the new statehouse? According to the
governors message to the last legis-
lature, it means: Installing a suita-
BILE heating and lighting plant, in
stalling steel vaults and appliances
in the treasurer's office, completion of
the unfinished portion of the base
ment, flooring and furnishing the sub
basement, decorating the walls and
ceilings, terracing and landscaping
the grounds, furnishing the offices of
the state officers and the legislative
halls, and the governor recommends
the purchase by the state of two
blocks of additional ground. None of
these We're specified in the original
Caldwell & Drake contract, and so far
as that contract is concerned, the
state house is completed"
Mr. Robinson says that Donaghey
has already spent $695,000. That is
not denied, but $4,000 of it was
spent in tearing out Caldwell &
BRAKES defective work, which leaves
only $4,000 that Donaghey has
spent in completing the Caldwell &
Drake contract and this $175,000
should be charged to the Caldwell, &
Drake expense account Do this and
we find that there was spent under
the last four years of Governor Da-
Wis S1,175,000 on the state house and
under the first two years of Donaghey
S520,0 In other words, Donaghey
spent less than halt as much IN tao
gears as the Darts administration
spent IN four gears and accomplished
more than tl0ice as much.

FINE
WORK FOR WEST
Grand Junction Owes Big Debt to
the Congressman-at-Large for
His Fight in Behalf of the
Western Homesteaders.

The house committee on public
land yesterday voted to report to the
house recommendations of western
members on committee in regard to
the three-year homestead bill, says
a dispatch from Washington, which
continues:
Through this decision a measure
of vital interest to thousands of
homeseekers in the west is schedul-
ed to pass congress and go to Presi-
dent Taft for signature. AS a law it
will affect not only those who are
about to enter vacant lands in Col
orado and elsewhere, but materially
reduce the duties incumbent upon
thousands of homesteaders already
on their lands, by releasing them
from serving the last two years of the
present requisite for gaining the pat
ents.
Under the leadership of Represen-
tative Taylor OF Colorado the Borah
bill has been amended and steadily
advanced to where victory is in
sight, in the house. The Colorado
congressman has been selected to
write the report on the measure,
which now becomes by common con-
sent the "Borah-Taylor bill" Its
passage will be the most far-reach-
ing piece of public land legislation
since the enactment of the reclama-
ton law in 1902.
Under its terms drastic require
ments for obtaining homesteads are
reduced in such a manner that set
tiers will be required to live on their
land only three years instead of five,
and they will be required to actually
remain on the land only seven
months in each of these years.

TO PRESERVE
"CANTS' IN NEW
FACTORY HERE
Grand Valley Melons, With Wide Re-
putation for Flavor, Will Be Used
In Forming New Table Deli
cacy Put Out by Zeiglers.

Did you ever eat preserved can't
aloupe?
This delicacy of the home kitchen
is to be one of the products of the
new Zeigler canning factory, accord
ing to a statement made by one of
the local boosters who has been talk
ing with Messrs. Zeigler during their
last trip to this city.
Mr.. Zeigler states that cantaloupes
may be preserved and either put up
in cans or glasses, forming one of
the most delicious table desserts
known.
Many local people have sampled
the famous Grand valley cant in its
natural form and it has gained a
reputation well nigh worlu wide for
excellence in flavor, size and keep
ing qualities. When the new
Zeigler factory is put in, it Is pro-
posed that the cantaloupe preserve
will be one of the principal items
of its output.
This will not only widen the rep
utation of the local melons. but will
add largely to the industrial output
of the city.

WANT TO BRING
THEM TOGETHER

Fruit growers of Pueblo county
are planning 10 organize II fruit as
sociation that will take in all similar
organization of Colorado. Those be-
hind the enterprise state that by
amalgamation of the various organi-
cations much more effective work in
the interests of Colorado growers can
be accomplished.
Ii is pointed out that fruit grow
erS in this state have considerable
complaint to make regarding the
treatment they received last fall
from railroads, the shortage of cars
having been damaging to their inter-
ests. BY banding together the horti-
culturists are of opinion that they
can secure better treatment and get
better results from every standpoint.
