What is a Parcel?

The question, what is par
cel?" has been answered so far
as the new parcel post law is
concerned. Here are some of
the regulations:
Parcels must not weigh over
eleven pounds, or be more than
" inches in length and girth.
No poisonous, inflamable arti-
cles or Internal machine is al
lowed as a parcel. No pistols,
live or dead animals, except
stuffed, or anything having a bad
odor will be admitted. Nothing
that will in any manner damage
the mail or the persons handling
the same will be admitted.
Fragile articles must be SO
marked. Butter, lard. meats and
othes perishable things will be
accepted for delivery within a
limited area. Eggs will be ac-
.cepted when so marked. Perish
able articles will be delivered as
soon as possible, but may be de-
stroyed by the postmaster if it
becomes offensive.
Under no circumstances will
undelivered matter be sent to the
dead letter Office. It will be de-
stroyed if not disposed of in two
weeks.
When a package IS sealed
against inspection it will b e
charged for at first-class rate.
The maximum insurance on a
package is $50, and the cost of
insurance has been fixed at ten
cents.

New Grain For Colorado.

The Chamber of Commerce di-
rectors have taken steps to intro
duce into Eastern Colorado the
black winter emmer of Southern
Russia and to erect in Denver a
factory to use the product of the
farmers. Emmer is a grain
which resembles a cross between
wheat and oats. B. C. Buffin of
Worland, Wyo.. obtained two
quarts of black winter emmer
from Russia through the depart
ment of agriculture several years
ago. He began crossing it with
other grades of emmer, until he
succeeded in obtaining a grain
which is beardless, which will
grow on dry lands and which will
yield from sixty to seventy-five
bushels to the acre.

Mans Body in Cement.

A human body protruding from
tons of cement, the frame OF
which was removed several days
ago, was found in one of the con-
crete pillars Of the government
dam across the Mississippi river
at Keokuk and explains the dis
appearance several weeks ago OF
one of the laborers.
The mans body is imbedded
in the solid concrete, and likely
to stay there, as to blast it out
would destroy not only the body.
but a great part Of one of the
largest blocks of cement compos-
ing the dam.
The disappearance Of a laborer
was noted several weeks ago,
but it was not known that he had
fallen into the frame, into which
tons of concrete were being
dumped.

AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
William c. Schultz Installs the
First One in This Section.
Others Will Follow.

Representatives of the Fair
banks Morse Co., of Denver COM
pleted the work this week of in
stalling a pumping plant for ir-
rigation on the William C. Schultz
ranch six miles north of town.
One hundred and ten acres
will be irrigated, the land lying
along the South Smoky, whose
sandy bed contains a vast amount
of water. Five wells have been
put down, water being found in
abundance at about eight feet.
Castings have been sunk seven
feet below the water line and
pipes connected by a T to the
main pipe line have been placed
inside the castings of the five
wells. This system has a capac-
ity of $50 gallons of water per
minute, and as there is an abund-
ance of water which has only to
be raised about 25 feet to-the
bitches, it looks as though the
success Of this venture is assured.
A little irrigation to soften a
crust of about six feet will send
the alfalfa roots into the sand,
and tremendous crops will spring
eternal from fields that have
produced but little in the past.
Others along the South Smoky
will install irrigation systems as
soon as the success of the Schultz
system is proven.

SIMPSON & HURD o. X.
John M. Staley' Says so in an
Article Printed in the
Republican.

In the Cheyenne Republican of
December 9th is an article from
j. M. Staley purporting to be an
authorized statement of the finan-
cial condition of Messrs. Hurd
and Simpson. the gentlemen who
lately purchased the controlling
interest in the new Cheyenne
County State Bank.
Staley says the Dunn agency
reports on these gentlemen as
follows, and then gives a long
list Of business enterprises owned
and operated by them, and gives
an individual statement of the
assets of these gentlemen and
says it is no doubt very crafty
ing to the customers of the bank
to know that Mr.. Simpson is a
banker of Is years experience
and that himself and associates
represent a capital of nearly $2,-
600. 600 and also carry with them
a high rating morally. Great
spell, that, you bet. Financial
statement, so the people may
know.
We don't know whether to look
on this as a joke or a lie. If it
was the product of anybody else
in the county, we would feel like
giving it the benefit of doubt;
but when it comes to us from a
craven liar of the character and
the habits of J. M. Staley, we
think if it is to have any charity
at all, it should be the benefit of
clergy, and that it should be
ante mortem.
Certainly if Messrs. Simpson
and hurd are not of the stripe of
Staley and his ilk, they have been
deceived into believing that this
statement over the signature of
a pussillanimous cur like Staley
would make them friends, when
in truth and fact it will destroy
confidence and breed contempt.
Anybody can make financial
statement to Dunn's or Brad
streets commercial agencies and
it will be published, if at all,
just like they are sent in, and a
man that isn't worth ten cents
can make them a statement that
he is worth a million and they
wont know the difference. Staley
was selected to sign his name to
the article in question either by
a mistaken idea on the part of
Messrs. Simpson and Hurd that
he was respectable citizen, or
by design. If the first, these
gentlemen were most beautifully
buncoed, but if the second is true
they did well; for during the 45
years we have been holding fast
to this mortal coil, we have never
found a man who is so far lost to
every sense of honor, truth, de-
cency and responsibility as this
man John M. Staley, except Jas.
P. Cahill. There is nothing but
that it would be virtue to except
Cahill, too. Cahill the snake and
Staley the Parvenue.
A financial statement indeed.
Yes, one published over the sig-
nature of a worm eaten, moral
inebriate, so utterly loathesome
to every decent thought that his
declarations receive as much no
tice from the public as a whim-
pering beggar from deacon in
the town church.
