Arkansas Valley Crop $4,000. 900.

Pueblo.-The crops in the Arkansas
valley of Colorado are expected to
bring approximately s9.000,00O this
year. The estimate Is based upon ac-
tual figures, taken from the number
of acres planted to the various crops,
and does not include the fruit in the
Canon City district.
Without the question of a doubt this
will be the most prosperous year in
the history of the whole valley, and
business already is brisk in anticipa-
tion of the heavy crop returns.
The five leading crops will be
wheat, s2.975.000; sugar beets, $2,5S7,-
COO; alfalfa, s1.400.00O; oats. s1,21O,-
900 and cantaloupes $4,000, making
q total of $S,41S,500. To this will have
to be added the amounts received for
all of the minor crops. no estimate
upon wlich has been furnished.
In the opinion of weIl-posted men in
the valley the railroads are going to
experience difficulty in providing
enough box cars to haul the crops
away. and vigorous efforts already are
being made to see that proper provi-
sion is made for their transportation.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES TO
CONTINUE WORK.

Washington.--Eleve hour legisla.
tion was necessary to prevent sus.
pension OF government operations as
result OF mismanagemcnt but Con.
gross extended the appropriations of
the past fiscal year through July and
made II unnecessary to drop several
hgndYed thousand civilian employees
fran the government payroll at mid
night July l..
Juse before he left to attend the ma
tioaai sangerfest at Philadelphia.
President Taft signed the bill.
A joint resolution making the extern
sion was necessary because OF the
failure of Congress to pass nine of the
appropriation bills before the begin
ming of the 1913 fiscal year. The bills
la question were the agricultural,
army. Indian. legislative. military.
academy. naval, pension, postoffice
end sundry civil. The army bill, which
was passed by both houses. was ve-
toed by tho President June II because
1t contained Objectionable legislation.
The resolution went through the
Senate after passing the House, at
1925 o'clock Monday, but through a
miscue by the Democratic manipula-
tors Of the measure it did not reach
the President for his signature until
after 2 o'clock. The Democratic lead
ers overlooked having the document
signed by Congressman Alexander,
who was acting as speaker. The Pres
ident was inconvenienced in his depar-
ture by the delay
1t was pointed out by the House ap-
propriations committee in its report
that similar measures have been me-
cessitated in the past because of the
regular appropriations having failed
to pass. Like conditions existed in
1876, 1882. 1884. 1886. 1890. 1892, and
1894. 1t was argued in extenuation of
the embarrassment caused this year.
Representative Hay presented
resolution appropriating s1.35O.000 for
the expenses of the joint maneuvers
of the regular army and militia. The
measure was passed unanimously aft
er Representative Hay had made
short speech in explanation of its pre-
sentation.
''The only reason for this provision
is that the states have gone ahead in
good faith and made preparations and
expended large sums of money" he
said. However. | want 1t understood
that will treat none Of the other
provisions Of the army bill In this
manner"
The army bill was reported out By
the House committee in the same
form as 1t was vetoed by President
Taft. and 1t Is expected another bitter
fight will be precipitated.
The failure of Congress to make
provision for the payment of wages to
United States navy yard employees did
not result in nearly 1900 of the 1000
men employed at the Charlestown
navy yard being thrown out of work
as had been expected. A telegram in
structed Commandant De Witt Coff-
man to continue the work as usual
pending the probable passage by Con-
gress of resolution providing for ap-
preparations.

the sores healed up, and crusts
