Exhibited States Senator Thomas
the Democrats of tie state at the
recent primary for governor. Mr..
Patterson is amply fitted for this
exalted position for several reasons.
First, that he is man of rare intel
ligence and has served with credit
to himself and honor to his state six
years in the greatest parliam eEtary
body known to the world. He has
been actively before the people of
his state since 1874, when he was ell
ected a territorial delegate to con
gress, and through his efforts Colo
RADIO was admitted into the union of
states in 1876, being the 25th admit
ted state into the Union. AS pub
Usher and editor of the greatest
daily journal of Colorado, he was ever
to the front in promoting the varied
natural resources of his adopted
state and made enemies of the cor
porations by his fearless expose of
their gang methods. He has always
taken a deep inter- st in irrigation
and dry farming and gave of his col
umns freely to anything pertaining
to the colonization OF our arid L nds.
He is a lawyer of great ability and
stands for tie peoples rights as
against the two exit iemes-corIo ora
tions on the one hand and the ref .ac-
tory labor element on the other, and
like all great statesmen can be de-
pended upon to exercise sanity upon
all great questions affecting his peo-
pie and his state.

Loodoa.-Tonmy 10 getting to
know Hans better. Groups Of slishtly
wounded men are being sent back
from the shattered British front east
OF Amisns. Every man has been told
by his oncers that he must not talk
for fourteen days. even Of his per
sonal sadseatHres. The impossibly
stupid British censor once would
hsvs all knowledge of this war kept
from the world.
"You can talk about the Dutch
men," l suggested to one chap met
ut the Charins Cross station. "ThatM
do no harm"
He agreed with me. He was . nice.
clean cut boy-Private Harry Clark
of the Staftordshire regiment-and he
was just sweating to talk. A hole
through his arm only inconvenienced
him. He was smoking huge pipe.
They fight well," said he. They're
afraid of nothing They come on
when the dead are lying in heaps be-
fore them"
The war Office has persistently put
out stories that the Germans cannot
stand the bayonet, along with a COM
panion piece that the Germans ham
string wounded men.
The ell they cawn't stand the bay
6net," said Private Clark. They
don't know what it is to be a-feared.
They keep a-coming on. and just
trample all over US"
Clark's regiment was intrenched
somewhere on the front at Mons.
The British were forced to bear the
brunt of the German attack through
out this first great battle. Long be-
fore they first came in contact with
the foe they had been cheered by the
war office statement that the Ger
mans were afraid of the cold steel.
The war office had also said that the
Germans are inferior as to field ar
tillery and in rifle practice.

vate Clark. I'VE used Just to get =

Sheep as Warming Pans

The nigh temperature of birds en- sbles them to resist cold more effec- tually than they could otherwise do Whereas blood heat in man is 9S.4 de- Grees Fahr., 1t is ITO degrees in the domestic fowl, and more in some other birds. Nevertheless. they feel the cold very much. and display.a remarkable amount of ingenuity in finding means to warm themselves
 one very cold day in February. 1898. gentleman in Perthshire was sur prised to see robin drop from bush and perch upon rabbit which had just fallen to his gun.
 He did not understand the birds mo- tive at once but when more rabbits were shot and laid together the robin showed clearly enough what he want ed by crouching among the warm car casses. The most notable feature of the case WIS that this intelligent robin followed the shooting party all day, and they. having learned what the small bird desired, took care that he should enjoy it whenever game was Killed. In the winter of 1912 a farmer in the uplands of Lanarkshire observed number of chaffinches entering an cuthouse where bullocks were stalled. He went In and found them nestling in the straw against the Hanks of the repcsfrg beasts. Birds are fond of us- ing sheep as warming pans. regardless of the risk attendant Smuggling down into the long wool, they are are apt to get their feet entangled, when the result may be starvation.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-08

deal of the gold of the Incas come from that region.
 ''The chief difficulty as to the develop ment of the Montana" continued Presi- dent Billnghurst, lis transportation. The only way to get the crops out is on the backs of men or on mules, and this makes it impossible to do any farming upon large scale. We expect, however, to ex- tend our railroads that now cross the Andes down into the Amazon valley. This can be easily done, and we will then have an outlet to both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. We have plans for sev- eral railroads togo through that country to the great tributaries of the Amazon. Just at the present we have not the money to make the extensions. and this is one reason why I have not approved of the McCune concession, which pro- vided for the building of railroad to the Uncayali river. I believe. however. that We shall soon have railroads reaching to the Amazon valley, and that the Mon tana will eventually be one of the most thiclkly populated parts of Peru"
 will not the Panama canal hurry up this development"
 ''It should do so, and we hope it will. With railroads to the Amazon, the higher priced products of the eastern slope of the mountains may be brought down to the Pacific and go northward through the canal Others of the products will go down the Amazon, and out to the At lantic. We do not expect to receive great benefit from the canal right at the start, but we believe that it will steadily increase our trade. bringing us much closer to your country and Europe It is our hope that it will lead many of your American capitalists to come down and look over the ground with a view to i'm vesting. As 1t is now some of our most valuable mines are owned in the United States and some of the best development works of Peru are being done by Amer icans This Is so with Cero de Pasco. with Morococha and with other large copper properties"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-08

What are you doing to prepare for the canal?"
 Our work so far is at it's beginning" replied the President. 'I have here a scheme for the improvement of the har- Dor of Callao that will give us the finest anchorage for shipping on the west coast of South America, if not one of the finest of the whole world. We have, as you know, just opposite Callao, lying parallel with the coast and less than three miles away, the high island of San Lorenzo. At the southern end the strip of water between this island and the coast is very shallow, and we have found that by the building of a breakwater we can unite the two and make an eXpanse of deep water perfectly shut off from the sea- large enough to hold all the fleets of the world.
 We are making our surveys for building this improvement and, as our engineers figure, it will require the dumping of only about 100000 cubic yards of rock, which can be easily gotten from the islands and the mountains of the main land Colonel Goethals has looked over the plans, and he says the job is an easy one. There seems to be no engineering difficulties in sight, and, according to the estimates of our surveyors, it will require less than s3.oo0,000 to build When that is done, Callao will be the chief port of western South America and one of the great coaling stations of the eastern Pa cific. We have beds of anthracite coal at Chimbote which we can use, and we have also fueY oil in great quantities to supply any steamers burning petroleum"
 The conversation here turned to wire less telegraphy, and President Billing hurst spoke of the wonderful results that have been attained by sending messages from the top of Mount Cristobal, desert hill about a thousand feet high, that lies just back of Lima. Said he:
 We have been warned by the German scientists and wireless experts that there would be no use of putting a station on that little mountain. They said we could not send messages over the Andes, which,
