BIG HARVEST.

The Independent news reporter was
out on a tour of the Austin and Cory
districts with DR.. A. Z. Miller last
Friday and saw a number of the finest
apple orchards, beets, potatoe and hay
fields of Colorado.
The owners of all these places were
directing harvest work and the high.
ways were a continuous procession OF
teams drawing heavily loaded wagons
into shipping stations. And here is
There were no cars. I'VE want cars,
and must have them" was the cry
everywhere.
1t was plain to be seen that the cars
were wanted and that the grower
must have them or else suffer a great
loss for all association warerooms. all
platforms and every available space
where storage was possible was al.
ready crowded with the foodstuffs. the
result of toll in this county. Strong
appeals were being made at frequent
intervals to the railway company for
the help needed and it was hoped that
some relief might come and come soon.
At the little town of Austin an ex-
tremely busy scene was presented.
Loaded wagons were standing every
where and one could easily determine
that Austin was surely one of the great
producing districts OF this county.
The packing house of the four Wey-
rauch brothers, owners of the DR..
Miller apple orchard of 40 acres was
visited and this commodious store
house was packed to the roof with
high grade apples awaiting shipment.
Their crop this year will fill twenty
cars or 10000 boxes and bring them
a goodly sum of money. They have
just completed the harvest and pack.
ing and will close their seasons
work as soon as cars can be furnished
for their shipment to Eastern mar

association rooms and also those OF
the Smith -Glidden company were Wis
tied and here was ample evidence OF
the yield of our fields and orchards.

Harvests Progressing.

The continued fine weather has been
a splendid thing for the harvesters
of crops. No greater blessing could
have been asked or received.
The beet harvest is also progress
ing nicely and in about the same pro-
portion of the apple harvest. Ship
ments to the factory have been as
rapid as the supply of cars would ad-
nit
The apple crop is now from two
thirds to three-fourths harvested,
though shipments have SO far made
but little inroad into the crop.
Cars have been scarce and demand
unsatisfactory.
Both growers and shippers seem to
think that this will be remedied after
the earlier contracts have been dis
posed of, so all available storage
room has been used in holding back
apples for more Favorable market
conditions. Prices asked remain at
81 to S1.25 for best varieties, grades
and pack.
Late potatoes are being finished and
the crop is bountiful one, the only
drawback apparent being the over
size of the tubers. They are smooth
fine quality but generally above the
market requirement in size.

UNDERGOES SURGICAL OPERA.
TioN AND is FAST RECOVERING

Miss Gladys Smith, youngest daugh.
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. G. l.. Smith, who
reside on South Main street. was ta-
ken seriously i'll the latter part OF last
week and a thorough diagnosis Of her
case by the attending physician re-
suited In the decision that she was af-
flicted with appendicitis.
An operation was decided upon and
successfully performed by a local sur.
geon at $3.50 Saturday morning and
the patient is now reported as rapidly
recovering from her ailments and ef-
fects OF the operation.
The. Misses Witchen and Spears,
trained nurses from Mercy hospital
in Denver, who are here to transform
the King residence on Garnet mesa
into hospital. are in charge OF the
case and this is of considerable i'm.
portance to both the attending surgeon
and the patient.

care fer the interest on these bonds
To care for these bonds means an alb
surdly small increase even at the
present time in taxation. "One full
grown chicken for each rancher will
pay his tax for this bond ISSUE" de-
clares w. S. Whinnery, president OF
the County Commissioners associa-
tion of Colorado.
A favorable vote on these bonds
means that Colorado will soon become
one of the best advertised states in
the union. Roads make any country
and Colorado with her wealth of seen
cry, her miles of undeveloped terri
tory needs them to bring to the atten-
ton of the traveller and investor the
wonderful resources of the state. This
is one expenditure which all who favor
the doing of those things which make
the state greater, will be found a unit
for. The highway commission bill is
likewise a most popular measure, and
these two bills will undoubtedly re-
ceive the emphatic approval of the
voters at election time.
This amendment is No. on the
ballot.

Recognizing the fact that one of the
greatest needs to this state at the
present time is good roads, the County
Commissioners of Colorado have gone
on record as favoring the proposition
to vote bonds to the extent of ten mil
lion dollars for such improvement in
the next ten years. If this issue car

visited ranch few hundred yards
from the Bradley land, where duck
pond had been built by the owner.
They arranged to buy the water for
two days, and Immediately constructed
a ditch to the Bradley farm.
A date was set for Bradley to look
over the irrigation on his land, and on
that date the water from the duck
pond was codncted to his homestead.
Bradley paid the $3,4OO, and the Off
cials departed.
Got Water Only Two Days.
On the following day the water
ceased to flow, and Bradley began an
investigation. He found his supply of
water cut off from the duck pond. He
demonstrated with the owner of the
pond and learned that water had been
purchased for just two days. He
then complained to the government
authorities.

The ditch as planed was to have
cost $3,5000,000, but the estimates OF
various experts at the trial showed it
could not have been constructed for
less than s2OOOO,OO0 In some in
stances it was shown that the con-

dismissed was overruled by Judge
Lewis yesterday, and he will be
placed on trial for using the mails to
defraud next month.
