C. \. BOWERS OF ORDWAY
IMPROVING HIS PROPERTY Y

Mr.. C. II. Bowers OF ordway has
been in the city several days. Mr.
Bowers recently purchased the Brad
ley place on East Main street and is
making some substantial improve
ments on the place. He has ten and a
half acres OF good orchard.
Mr.. Bowers is planning to tile and
drain this land. The land has not suf-
fered materially, but Mr.. Bowers is
convinced that its efficiency will be
Increased greatly by putting in the
tile.
A good deal of tiling is being done
to advantage In several sections OF the
valley and II is proving beneficial.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
MAY Be REDUCED
Denver Times:

Denver Times:
Ca nthere be anything more than
a mere coincidence in the fact that
treading on the heels of the new tar
IN law. there comes from Washing
ton a specious and rather yoluminous
argument in favor OF popcorn and
peanuts as articles OF diet?
AT the beginning there was much
beating of party tomtoms and gather
ing Of tariff-tinkering braves to at
tend upon the scaiping of old High
Cost OF Living. Gradually the tumult
and the shouting died. the captains
and the kings departed. and the peo-
people were not to expect sudden and
bills passage the word went out that
1t probably would not actually reduce
living expenses. but would make for
improved business conditions that
would put more money in the public
purse wherewith to meet the soaring
prices.
Now comes the bureau OF agricul-
ture with its argumentative treatise on
the relative merits OF peanuts and
popcorn as human fat producers. IS
against sirloin smothered and chicken
a la king. This looks like nothing
more than a weak attempt 10 shift
the blame and convict the people OF
food extravaganza and dietary recl,-
lessness.
Even in theold panicky times OF
free soup houses and bread lines the
public was not urged TO have recourse
to such dry and cheerless things as
peanuts and popcorn. Really. with the
best tarir bill in fifty years" just
written into the nations laws. some
thing better than circus food was ex-
pected. The bureau of agriculture still
has one last bet. There remain corn
husks and wood pulp. But. oh shucks.

tion was present at the regular meet

suited in the following elections:
Albert Rule, noble grand; Raymond
johnson. vice grand: A. L. Earl. re-
cording secretary; D. ]. Houston,
financial secretary; A. S. Lonnacker,
treasurer.
A notable thing in connection with
the balioting for officers of the grand
lodge. for which only those who have
held the highest office in the subor-
dinate lodges. vote. was the fact that
thirty-seven past grands were pres
ent at the meeting here Tuesday night

TROUT STREAMS BEING
RESTOCKED BY FORESTER

Local fishermen will be interested
TO know that the work of restocking
some of their favorite streams with
native trout is receiving considerable
attention Just now by officers Of the
Pike national forest. Ranger II. E.
smelser, In charge of the Lake
George district, reports that he has
just placed sixteen cans OF trout fry.
each containing over one thousand
fish, in the South Platte river and
Tarryall creek. These streams, II ap-
pears, have been so heavily fished
during the past few years that the
supply OF trout over seven inches in
length has been seriously diminished.
1T is the purpose of the forest
service" says Ranger Smelser. ito
make the national forests as attract
i've as possible to campers, hunters.
and fishermen. This We are trying
to do by protecting game and fish.
restocking streams, killing on preda-
tory animals which prey upon game.
and by enforcing the game laws.
While the stocking of streams is but
one OF the means Of improving the
national play grounds. this work ap-
peals especially to the public. for 1t
is a well known fact that nearly ev-
erybody likes to fish when the pros
poets OF a good catch are reasonably
assured. For this reason the forest
service in cooperation with the bu-
reau of fisheries has been instrumen-
tai in placing hundreds of thousands
of fish fry in the mountain streams
throughout the national forests dur

We love our Canon home
And want our friends to come
To rest from toll and care.
And all our joys to share.
Our climates mild and dry.
The mountains rough and high,
The valleys rich and wide.
Our city is our pride.
Our churches. great and small.
Have room enough for all;
Our schools are scattered wide
Along the rivers side.
Our coal is very fine
And dug from many a mine.
Our fruit is shipped away.
A dozen cars a day.
Our country's rich and new.
The friends we find are true;
Great wealth is in our soil.
From springs our waters boil.
Our Gorge is natures pride
None such in world beside
It's narrow entrance gate
A highway OF our state.
Our streams and lakes about
Are filled with finest trout
Our forests rich and rare.
And flowers we have to spare.
Our silver mines and gold
Have treasures yet untold:
Our state is young and fair.
And health is in the air.

SAM REED KILLED
He Helped Run Down Evidence
of Illegal Voting.
Plot to SIay Him Believed Re-
suit of Work.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 4.-Almost con-
cealed by the heavy snow that also hid
the tracks of his slayer, the body of
Sam Reed, who acted as interpreter
during the recent hearings of the cleo
ton contest cases involving Repub-
lican and Socialist candidates, was
found in a roadway near Dunkirk.
Reed had been shot in the face five
Or six times. He had been killed dur
ing the night, evidently soon after leav-
ing a dance at midnight. He was a
musician.
In gathering evidence for use in the
contest hearings Reed acted as a de-
tective as we'll as one of the official
interpreters when the cases came to
trial. For this part in the work he
was threatened with death.
1t was alleged in the contest pro-
ceedings that many foreigners employ
ed in the coal mines in the district
who are not citizens were allowed to
vote. 1t is believed Reed was the vic
tim of a plot entered into by the per-
sons who had sent him threats. The
coroner probably will investigate to-

Since the High Record Was
Established in 1903.
HAS HAD THREE LEAN YEARS
Total Shrinkage Amounts to
Over $5O,OOO,OOO.
Business in Shares Has De-
cIined at Same Rate.

New York, Feb "A decline of more
than $50.00O,000 in the aggregate mar
ket value of the seats on the New forA
Stock exchange is one measure OF the
depths of Wall street gloom The lat
est sale of a seat was made for $4S,-
900 which is precisely one-half of the
high record reached in 1909. In the as
sumption that S4S,00O represents the
present marketable value of a seat,
the total shrinkage, on paper at least,
of the LOO seats on the exchange is
$52, 100000.
Last November a seat was sold for
$69, 900. On the same basis, the de-
cline in about three months is $23, ,lOO'-
000 Neither during the panic of 1907,
nor during the rich mans panic" OF
1908, did the price fall so low, $4,000
having been the low level at both those
periods.
Dwindling business is the explana-
ton of the decline in seat prices. The
intrinsic value of a seat represents but
a small portion of its price. The huge
gray stone palace which is the home
of the stock exchange and the land on
which it stands are assessed at $780,
600 which represents an equity for each
member of less than $1,000. There is
also gratuity of $4,000 which is paid
to the family of a member who dies.
More than this the value of a seat con-
sists merely in ''good wiIl'' or the
privilege of trading on the exchange
and the facilities offered to traders.
Wall street has had three lean years
in the business of buying and selling
stocks and bonds. Business last year
averaged less than 100000 shares of
stock a day whereas in 1905 the aV-
erage was 100000. With the amount of
trading falling off and the total of
commissions shrinking proportionate-
ly the slump in the price of seats has
been a natural sequence.
