ment denying he was connected I'm any

Mr.. Shields includes In his reply a
letter from w. Frank Knox Of the 500,
manager for Mr.. Osborn during the
primary campaign, in which Mr.. Knox
asked him To aid in raising $4,000 in
the upper peninsula for the purpose of
helping TO fight the proposed tonnage
tax which Mr.. Osborn opposed in his
primary campaign. This letter is as
follows:
MY dear Mr.. Shields.
After a long conference with Mr..
Osborn out at Dearfoot hunting camp.
we have decided that your reasons for
not taking the chairmanship of the
upper peninsula campaign committee
are good Both Mr.. Osborn and my
self, however. feel THAI IL you could
be induced to- take IL, above all others,
YOU are the man in the upper penin-
sula to aid in raising the sinews OF
war for the fight. Knowing OF the
prominence which the tonnage tax is
sue will play In the campaign. and the
certain costs which will be incurred
in meeting the issue, both Chase and
myself feel that the mining companies
uuglt tn be pretty liberal in their con-
tributions To the campaign fund.
Confidently. I anticipate that the
campaign will cost in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000 and estimate. that
we ought 10 raise $4,000 in the upper
peninsula. $4,000 in lower Michigan.

and Saginaw, particularly, and SIS. 900
To be contributed by Mr.. Osborn him
self.
Chase IN very anxious that YOU un-
dertake this much OF the campaign
work In the upper peninsula. and
nope | may have from YOU your con-
sent To undertake II.
Il am planning for the conference
suggested To YOU. of Mr. Osborn's
friends for Dec. s. at 10 o'clock In the
morning at Marquette. How would
this date suit YOU? For want you to
be present by all means. The Shrine
meets in Marquette on that date. and
have taken occasion to cell the Os-
born meeting for the same date be-
cause OF the fact that great many
OF the fellows we will want will be at
Marquette anyway.

In his reply the tax commissioner

any person who enters into such

the law against conspiracy, liable
TO a tine Of $1,000 and imprison-

Not even the legislature can
legali2e the practices of the sort

TWENTY CUPS
FOR POULTRY

The Weld County Poultry asso-
citation has some great things in
store for poultry fanciers when the
next annual exhibit is held. The
association has been devoting its
best efforts toward improving the
breeds in chickens in the county
and has made commendable ad-
vance in this line. 1t is the inten-
ton to have twenty silver cups as
prizes at the next poultry show and
two Of these already have been do
mated. S. NJ. Edgell. manager for
the Great Western Sugar company
here. is the donor. This morning
he sent the association two hand
some cups, valued at $l5 and $25
respectively.
Within few days several mem
bers of the association will have
an exhibit in one of the down town
store windows that will emphasize
the difference between thorough
bred eggs and those of the common
hens. They expect to show the
large, white eggs of uniform size
that are produced by the better
breeds of chickens contrasted with
the varied colored and undersized
eggs of the mongrel hens.
The poultry association held its
regular monthly meeting Tuesday

son TO HELP OUT THE LOCAL
CROP-AFTER CONTRACTS

Anlt, March l2.-This district
promises to be added 10 the pea
growing area of the county and a
committee is here today to solicit
from 500 to 500 acres from the
Ault farmers upon which to raise
peas for the Empson Packing COM
pany of Greeley. If the required
number of acres is furnished the
canning company vii put in hull
Ter at Ault where peas brought
from the fields will be quickly
shelled and transported to Cree
ley.
lhe committee here today pre-
sehtllg the matter was Frank
Young, Fred Storms and j Ponia,
all held men for the Empson COM
pany at Greeley and vicinity. This
afternoon big meeting was held
IN Randolph hall and the matter
discussed. The general sentiment
is favorable to the proposition and
II looks very much as if Ault would
add another crop to it's farming in
dustry.
Heretofore Ault has not consid-
cred the pea growing industry as
peas may only be hauled distance
OF four miles or less Tor the iac-
tory in order to insure them arriv-
ing sweet and fresh. The huller
obviates this handicap and me-
thod of shipment will be used in
suring their arrival in Greeley in
first class shape. 1t is proposed TO
grow the crop for seed purposes
also and prices paid the grower will
be those paid at the factory in
Greeley The committee will start
to work soliciting acreage as soon
as possible as the early peas are
planted in April
