ORCHARD AND GARDEN
HELPS.

The aphis can be controlled by
spraying with the tobacco or
kerosene solutions.
Trees that are making Il rapid
growth Of wood do not generally
bear much fruit.
Train the tomatoes OH trellls or
on a pole like lima beans. This
treatment keeps the fruit off the
grodnd and brings it earlier.
A fall garden will prove profit
able. Such crops as beans. beets.
carrots, cabbage and mustard
will make q nice garden for this
fall.
Young plants in the garden
should be protected from cucum-
Der beetles and squash hugs by
light screens. Bordeaux and
paris green are good for them.
Prune and trim the peach tree
for low heads. If possible have
the lower branches not over f1f-
i, teen to twenty inches from the

Rainy Day Jobs on the Farm.

\ mark of a good farm manager is
tie ability to pick out the best work
and the work that will really accom-
plish something for the men on rainy
days. Every man who employs even
one helper should carry a little note
book and pencil and jot down the va
rious jobs as fast as they come to his
notice. Those which can be done in
rainy weather should be lined out by
themselves.-American Cultivator.

the people OF his section think about

ABOUT The COUNTY DIVISION

The most unfortunate thing that has
happened in this county In decade is
the fight now on to divide Fremont
county.
This is not the opinion OF Canon
City alone. but Penrose, Portland,
Rockvale and Coal Creek people. all
within the boundary lines of the pro-
posed new county. join US in this
opinion.
There Is but one possible benefit TO
anybody in the new county. and that
only to a very few, the Office holding
class and property holding class who
stand in with the office holding class
OF Florence.
There is not a single benefit to the
average citizen of Florence. or to the
people of Penrose. Portland. Coal
Greek. Rockvale or the ranchman IN
the nils ABOUT
II is an absolute fact. which no
set OF figures that any county division
ist might prepare can influence. that
1t will increase taxes In both counties.
Most of the county Offices are on
the fee basis and not paid from general
taxes. In the case OF these fee Of
fees. such as county clerk. treasurer,
sheriff. Judge. etc. division will in
crease the fees OF those having busi-
mess in those offices twenty-five per
cent. This alone is a considerable tax
on those who have business to be
done.
Two counties will necessarily cost
more for taking care Of the roads. the
poor and the criminal courts. Two
court houses must be kept up by the
same people who now keep up one.

These figures are taken from the y.
S. census reports for 1910. There -
little change today.
In connection with the proposition
to divide this county these figures are
Interesting.
Fremont is a large county. about IS
miles long.
But the population is largely GEN.
tered around Canon City.
There are ls,1s1 people in the coun-
ty.
OF these 15.443 live within ten miles
of Canon City.
Eighty-five percent of the people live
within ten miles OF the county seat
This s5 per cent OF the people of the
county can reach the county seat in
80 minutes by train or automobile any
day.
The proposition to create Sunshine
county would split this little settle

Friction between the two countiss

years in road development
1t is bad II 1t carries and It will be
bad for the county any way. The
fight being put up for county division
will make strained relations between
the two principal cities of the county
that will be long in healing.
We do not believe that the PROPOSE
ton to divided the county can carry.
We do not believe that fair minded
legislators who have the interest u
the whole people at heart will favor
It.
But the rest OF the county might
just as well observe the fact thai
Florence is keen on the Job. and vii
do everything within her power r

Florence Is ably represented on her
lobby by men OF ability and large ex-
perience in legislature matters. For
many years back most OF the men
honored by old Fremont county By
election to the Legislature have come
from the Florence district. These men
know how to push legislation through
and they have acquaintanccs ani
friends In the legislature. Florence
has raised a good expense fund and
will have n lobby ON the ground all
the time.
Fremont county should get In the
game and leave nothing done to pre-
vent this bill creating Sunshine coun-
ty from passing.

NAUGHTY GIDEON SCOLDS THE JOURNAL

The Hon. Gideon Stolz, brevet coun.
Gilman from the Third ward, showed his
hand last night, and incidentally the
hands of the balance Of the councilmen.
The Hon. Gid was angry when he got
up endwise in the council and proceeded
to punish The Capital Journal for dar.
ing to criticize him and the council.
Now, when Gid. pependicularize5
himself in the council there is generally
something doing, though no one can
foresee what it is, for Gid. is versatile.
He may pour out his tale of love for n
Buffalo-Pitts engine, he may uluurate
in behalf of the necessity Of rushing
street paving regardless Of the "mix-
ing" or the condition Of the street he
has already provided with pavement,
and he may let his perfervid oratory
flow in a generous and ripping stream
lust for the edification Of the gaping
crowds that listen in always hopeless
expectancy of his saying something.
Last night Gid performed one of
these stunts When he pulled his legs
out from under his desk and slowly
pushed his leonine head up into the at
mosphere, he was dripping vinegar, and
he felt that it was the proper time TO
put the Capital journal in pickle. Gid.
is somewhat Of an expert in the pickle
line, so considered even as far east as
Minnesota, or perhaps Michigan. Gid.
was loaded and so made a special re-
quest that the city stenOgrapher take
down his remarks literatum, and all
that, transeribe the same, and furnish
them to the morning paper for publica-
tion this morning.

LOVER
SHOT HER HUSBAND
When Jesse Stroud Found His
Wife Riding With Another
Man Trouble Started.
WHILE THE MEN FOUGHT
She Fired Twice, Then Getting off Her
Horse Deliberately Blew Her
Husbands Brains Out.
THE MEN FOUGHT

New Orleans, April 15.-Following a
bloody fight between the two men, af-
ter her husband, Jesse Stroud, had come
upon her horseback riding with Edward
Beeler on a country road, Mrs. Stroud
shot and killed the former near here
today, Stroud, who is vice-president Of
the Vivian Oil comany, first pulled
Beeler off his horse and began thrash
ing him. Mrs. Stroud then drew a re-
volver and shot Stroud in the side.
Maddened by pain, Stroud continued to
pound his opponents face into bloody
mass, and Mrs. Stroud fired again,
This time she broke Beeler's leg.
Her face livid with rage, the woman
got off her horse and, approaching the
struggling men, awaited an opportunity
to place the pistol against her hus-
bands head. 1t came, and the shot
blew out his brains. The two men, one
dead and the other exhausted, then
sank in a pool of their own blood, and
lay there until the authorities came.
Pistol in hand, the woman waited near
them.
"After am acquitted I am going to
marry Beeler," she said, following her
arrest.
