Geo. Cramb'S Steers.

Judge jackson hasn't found
his COW, but he found George
Cramb'S steers. Now George
probably didn't know he had any
steers, and at all events didn't
know who was keeping house for
him while he was hunting pos
sum down on the "ole Carese.'
Judge Jackson, while hunting
his COW, rode within haiing dis
tance of Georges hole-inthe-
ground house when he discover.
ed what the Indians would call Il
pale face" looking out of the
window at him: which said pale
face proved to be Il White-faced
steer, and upon close inspection
there was found to be four of
them.
The steers had gone in,
locked the door, and presumably
gone to bed; buL WlleI une Judge
found them the bed, table, stove !,
cupboard and such like We're
indistinguishable in appearance,
land the steers looked like four
COW hides hung on II fence.
The snow and sluSh inside
held the door shut, and the Judge
had to open it with Il batterlng
ram: He says twenty-four hours
longer would have finished at
least one of the steers: and eX-
cept for his chance riding by no
doubt all the steers would have
starved, as it is away from IL

Our School Forum:
The Examination.
Physiology.

1. Describe how ventilation
naturally goes on and tell some
ways of assisting nature in ven
tilation.
Ventilation naturally goes on
by the change of weight and vol
ume of air as it's temperature
rises or lowers. Warm air and
it expands becoming lighter, and
rises letting cooler air which is
heavier take it's place. In this
way our buildings are naturally
ventilated by the air passing out
and entering at every opening
however small.
This can be done by placing
ventilating shafts in our build
ings; by installing ventilation
heaters, and by keeping our
houses we'll open.

As TO Artesian Wells.
The Springfield Herald:


Your notice of the sale OF
land near Artesia, at only $3.50
an acre, and your statement that
it should be wor0h $50 an acre,
brings up the question, why
should there not be Artesias all
over Baca county?
1t is only Z estion of going
deep enough, though in some
places it might fail. A reason
able theory is that the whole of
our county has lake of water
beneath the surface, flowing
from the Rocky mountains, pure
and soft, and of inexhaustible
quantity. 1t is from this lake
that the ordinary supply of wa
ter is taken.
But beneath this lake there is,
or at least may be, another sup
ply which is capable of an arte-
sian pressure sufficient to bring
the flow to the top. This can
only be determined by expert
ment. The cost of the test is
the deJerring factor, and makes
it almost prohibitory to individ.
uals.
The last legislature of Kansas
appropriated a considerable a.
mount of money to sink wells in
various parts of the state-prin-
cipally the western portion-for
the purpose of developing irriga-
tion projects. Colorado could
well afford to follow this example.
A dozen wells sunk by the
state in various parts of the
county might develop a source
of wealth that would make a rich
return for the money expended.
The matter should be taken up
with the next legislature.

SAYS PATENTS HELP PUBLIC
Give to the Citizen the Right Of En-.
Joyment of the Property Of the
Original inventor.

A patent right Is not monopoly
within the true definition of the word,
says a writer In Leslie's. 1t is not an
appropriation from the public domain
of anything. Every invention is a
new creation. 1t is an addition to
the worlds knowledge and instrument
talities. 1t is the sole individual
property of the inventor, its creator.
The public has absolutely no right
In 1t.
In behalf Of the public, however, the
government seeks to make a contract
with the inventor whereby its citi-
zens shall have the enjoyment of the
invention at the end of the brief pc
Rod of II years. The right then is
the right to exclude others from u.s.
Ing, or appropriating. what is, in tho
hrst instance, and continues to be,
the inventors own. 1t is the inven-
tor that gives all that is given. The
public Is the real beneficiary.
1t Is because of this, and because
the patent laws offer the inducement
to the inventor to disclose his inven-
ton, that the public has obtained the
benefits and advantages that have pro-
ceeded from the development of the
arts and sciences under the stimuiat-
Ing influence Of these beneficent laws.
