Very Busy Day
in Boston

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE program
laid out for Colonel Roosevelt dur
ing the few hours he will be in
Massachusetts, today will keep him
almost constantly on the move. A
party of local progressives left Bos-
ton early today for Providence
where Roosevelt formally opened his
new campaign last night to greet
their guest. They accompanied hir,
to the city about noon. Roosevelt
went to the home of DR.. Sturgia
Bigelow for luncheon and for con
ference with the Massachusetts
leader This occupied his time until
2:3O O'Clock when the escort accom-
panied him to the Point of Pines
Revere beach, for his chief address
of the day. In the evening the par
ty is to have banquet at Revere
beach and again Roosevelt is TO be
the chief speaker.
The former presidents stay at the
banquet will be short for at 8 o'clock
he is due to address an open air meet

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

The board of aldermen has finally
decided to make thorough investi-
cation of the charge that members
Of the police department have been
accepting graft from gamblers and
that certain officials were criminal
ly concerned in the murder of Her
man Rosenthal. A committee con-
sisting of six Republicans and three
Democrats was appointed and it is
expected that the charges will be
carefully sifted and the offenders
duly exposed. 1t would not be at
all surprising if number of police
officials of high standing should
send in their designations during the
next few weeks. Even Police Com
missioner Waldo, who has here
tofore been the staurehest champion
Of the honor Of the police department
has at last been forced to admit, in
view of the overwhelming testimony
already introduced, that there seems
to be some crooks in the department.
There is something for entomolo-
gists and biologists TO work on: A
resident of New Jersey, the state ia
nous for its trusts and its mosqui-
tos, has made an interesting discov-
cry, or, at least, he claims to have
made the discovery that during the
last few years the size of the mos
quitos which New Jersey produces
and with which it supplies the adjoin-
ing states, has considerably decreas-
ed. Screens, which in former years
offered complete protection from the
pests, are no longer effective, be-
cause the mosquitoes have became so
small that they can easily slip by
the meshes of the screens. The al
legged observer of this phenomenon
has no theory to offer, but leaves
it to the scientists to determine
whether this decrease in the size Of
the mosquitoes is a case of mere de-
generation or the result of selective
breeding for the purpose Of adapta-
ton to change conditions.

G. A. LATzkF
IS DEAD
Fourth Of Rocky Ford
Family to SuccOmb
TO Poison
Western Press.

Western Press.
ROCKY FORD, Aug. IT, The
Rev. Gustave A. Lathe, pastor of
the Rocky Ford German Lutheran
church, died yesterday afternoon of
either ptomaine or some other kind
of poison. This made the fourth
death in the preachers family within
36 hours from the same cause. His
wife and two children, boy and a
girl, being the other victims.
A one-year-old baby is the only
n emil er of the family that survived.
Pending a chemical aaa ysis of the
contents of the stomach of Mrs at
IKE the exact cause of death of the
four will not be defi1itelv kno yn.
A post mortem exam nation was
made of the body of Mrs. Iat.ke
yesterday afternon but the result
did not change the opiaion held by
the half dozen doctors summoned
to attend the Inflated victims that
ptomaine poison caused ,heir ceaths.
symptoms of arsenical poison also
present say these physIciens and
there is a possibility that the Rev.
Mr.. Latzke and his wife and two
children died from this cause. If
proved by a chemical analysis that
they died from arsenical poison the
mystery will deepen and probably re-
suit in jury charges being made.
The immediate history of the case
upholds the ptomaine poison theory
according to the physicians who were
called in to attend the Lat;fes.
On Tuesday Mrs. Latzke purchased
beef bone from local butcher and
kept the meat in the house without
ice until Wednesday afternoon BY
that time the meat hal become
tainted and threw off offensive odors
however, Mrs. batzke decided to use
it any way and placed it in an enam-
eled kettel with green vegetables
While the meat was boiling the odor
that rose from it was so disagreeabie
that Mrs. Latzke was forced to open
the doors and windows Of the house
When the meat and vegeta o.es had
been cooked Mrs. Latzke 'hrew them
out, first pouring off the broth
which would have contained the very
essence of any poisonous matter in
the meat. This broth was allowed
to remain in the kettle in which it
was cooked until Thursday afternoon
when it was reheated and served for
supper. Because of its peculiar fla
vor but little of it was eaten. On
Thursday they cooked vegetables and
sausage in the Latzke home and on
Thursday night the members of the
family began to be taken Ill.

FRANCIS JOSEPH is
FOUR SCORE AND TWO.

VIENNA, Aug. 17-Emperor
Francis Joseph will celebrate his
eighty-second anniversary tomorrow
in quiet way at his summer villa in
Ischl. Public celebration will be held
throughout the entire monarchy.
Francis Joseph was born at Vien-
ma, August 1s, 1880, as the eldest son
of Archduke Francis and nephew
of Emperor Ferdinand l., who ruled
from 1885 to 1848. Ferdinand abdi-
Gated on December 2, 184s, amid the
turbulent scenes that threatened the
dissolution of the empire, and his
brother, the Archduke Francis, hav-
ing surrendered his claims to the
tottering throne, his son, Francis Jo-
seph, became emperor Of Austria
though he was not crowned king OF
Hungary until June s, 1857. At the
time of Francis Joseph's accession
to the Austrian throne Hungary was
in a state of revolt and, with Koss-
nth as governor, declared itself a
republic in 1849.
Charles Albert, Of SARDINIA, again
took up arms against Austria In
Italy. Austria triumphed, however
both in Italy and Hungary and the
emperor devoted himself to the re.
establishment of his authority. In
1859 he was forced to face a wal
with France and SARDINIA, which end.
ed with the loss Of the Lombardy. A
reconstruction Of the monarchy OIL q
dualistic basis was effected in 1887
In 1854 the emperor married Prin,
cess Elizabeth Of Bavaria, who was
assinated by an anarchist about II
years ago. The emperor's only son
Crown Prince Rudolph, was found
dead In q hunting lodgs in 1890.

IRRIGATION
PROJECT
New Company Will tx.
Tend bitches in La
Plata County

The Florida Mesa Land & Devel-
opment company has secured the
holdings of the Pine River Irriagtion
company. This will add to the hold
ings of the company $50 cubic feet of
water fro the Pine river. 1t is
the object of the company to place
all the land between the Florida and
the Pine to the east and south under
irrigation.
The Epperson- Thompson ditch is
included in the purchase an dthe plan
is to extend the ditch 33 miles. This
will afford sufficient water to irri-
gate some 10000 acres. Contracts
for several thousand acres have al
ready been signed and the work of
ditch extension is to begin soon.
The headgate of the Epperson-
Thompson ditch is located six miles
above Bayfield, and the extension will
have westerly course. The ditch
will be enlarged in order to carry the
full appropriation of water belong
ing to the ditch, taken from the Pine.
1t is the object of the company,
says Mr.. Rucker, to build up be-
tween the Florida and the Pine one
of the largest irrigation districts in
the state. This will be done by di-
viding the country into 5000 acre
tracts. The company has had their
engineers at work and have decided
to add to their already large holding )
in the Florida country. They feel
with this additional water they can
place all the country between the
Florida and the PiPne under culti-
walton. This territory extends down
to the state line and also include the
Oxford country.
Besides the extension referred 20
above the company in order to bet
+ ter reach land to the south and west
12 miles. The water from which
will irrigate almost as much land as
will be irrigated from the first eS-
tension. This will mean that prac-
Illt HOI hO"
irrigation in the Florida country BE-
low the headgate of the Epperson-
Thompson ditch will be brought un-
der this irrigation system, and some
10000 acres of land now not produc-
ing anything will be placed under
ditch.
1t is generally agreed that this
section, comonly knomwn as the Flo
rida country, is one of the riches,
in soil in the state. This develop
ment will mean much for the peo-
pie of this section and there is no
question about all this country be-
ing settled up and made prosperous
by this big irrigation system.
1t will be remembered that the
company is now on the ground and
actual work is being done. This is
certainly encouraging news to place
along with our railroad prospects.
Surely the San Juan is rapidly COM
ing to the front.

to reach the roots of the plants.
In order to accomplish this, every
field should have ditch running
along its highest part properly laid
out. This viii! be best accomplished
by making openings through the
side of this ditch through which the
water runs into the rows, level; that
is to say, fixing them SO that when
dam is put in, which brings the
water over the bank and forces the
water through the openings, the wa
ter will run through each opening
with the same velocity and therefore
be paying proposition to make
these openings permanent.
A box made of lumber or concrete
with openings in the side, each sec
tion set level, with a drop at the end
of each section so that by placing
the dam at the end of the section
the same quantity of water is dis
charged through each opening and
finds its way to each row and is
sent down each with the same veloc-
ity and the same quantity of water
is supplied to each row. This guam
tity can be regulated by increasing
or decreasing the head on each open
ing, and with this arrangement it
will be found that labor, time and
water will be saved.
Another thing, after an irrigation
by means of the row method, many
farmers have found it advisable and
profitable to harrow across the
rows. This fills the bitches and the
ground that is saturated with loose
earth which forms a dust mulch"
and thereby prevents excessive evap-
is not done the bottom and sides
of the bitches take on a crust and
particles become packed together
and excessive evaporation takes
place. For the next irrigation it
will be necessary to again run the
cultivator through the rows in order
to form the bitches for another ap-
plication Of water, and by the time
this second irrigation occurs the
plants will be so far advanced that
it will be impossible to htrrow sec
ond time, but the first narrowing
can be done with very little damage
to the crop, in fact, it is benefit
to the crop even though some of the
plants are destroyed.-Farm and
