Colorado Needs Boosters

That which California has 10 this
respect. Colorado has not. This Is
true in most sections of the state at
least. We do not believe our own
conditions; we do not show enough
home spirit: we do not enthuse
enough over the future. There is no
richer undeveloped section Of the en-
tire west than the Arkansas Valley
1t is hardly more than scratched over
today. Where there should be Il
family on every twenty acres there is
now no more than a family tn each
quarter section. And those who are
farming this land, except in few
spots, are not devoting IL to the char
acter OF crops that will return the
biggest results. They are not en-
gagged in intensified farming. Our
mountain ranges To the west are
great beds OF minerals Of all kinds.
Save in spot here and there, they
are undeveloped yes. the veins are
not even located. We can change
these conditions. We can see this
valley properly settled and titled.
We can fill the mountains with sturdy
prospectors TO locate the veins and
when once located we can ind the
capital for ordevelopment. But we can't
accomplish these results until the
people get together and enthuse.
The California spirit is what we need
and what We must have. Let's get 1t,
and get 1t quick.

Four Great Sauces.

A Frenchman has declared that
imam has created the culinary art;
he does not eat like an animal-he
breakfasts, dimes and sups."
The French are particularly elo-
quent on the subject of sauces.
Among their famous chefs are recog-
nized four great sauces: Spanish,
Veloute, Bechamel and German. The
Spanish and Veloute were known as
far back as the seventeenth century.
In the eighteenth they were modified
by the masters of cookery, particular
ly by Careme, who was called "the
Raphael Of the kitchen"
The Spanish sauce is composed of
juices extracted from mixture of
ham, veal, chicken and pheasant.
Veloute is similar, but is not colored.
Bechamel is Veloute to which cream
has been added, and the German
sauce is Veloute plus the yolks OF
eggs.-Harper's Weekly.

Snakes seemed to be all around me.
Occasionally got a glimpse of a with

cause Of all my alarm. They were
engaged In battle unto death, and
had no more thought of attacking me
than had of meeting them.
Il wanted to get away from the sight
of the contest, but could not. My mind
told meto beat retreat, but my
legs would not respond to the thought.
