A nice gentle rain commenced
falling here last Sunday evening
and kept it up almost continually
until Monday evening. The
ground being in good condition,
drank it all in. which was what
was needed for the large grow
ing crops of this county. There
was 75-10Oths of an inch of wa
ter fell during this period. which
makes over z inches of rainfall
so far this season. The farmers
are looking for one Of the largest
crops ever raised in this county,
this fall. Horses and cattle are
in prime condition. and without
doubt. there will be a large acer-
age of hay cut OH the prairies
this fall. With good crops in
this county this season, real es-
tate values should take an up
ward tendency this coming fall,
and many new settlers should be
attracted to this part of the
state.

strikes:
The parties to both strikes are
the same coal mining companies
on one side and the United Mine
Workers on the other.
The issues are the same rec
ognition of the union, increased
wages and improved working
conditions.
The number Of miners affected
is about the same-12,000.
Why can't both be settled in
the same fashion? l know of nc
reason and / do not believe any
sane, loyal son of Colorado can
advance a reason.
We have had enough fighting.
We have had enough b!oodshed.
We have had enough elimination
and recriminaticn in Colorado!
Let us have peace!

Some beautiful farms and crops
in Cheyenne County Colo. The
writer is at the beautiful ranch
of A. w. Olmstead who lives ten
and one-half miles south of Ara
pahoe. This is one of the finest
sections of the county. The land
is so level and the grass on the
range so thick and high and such
sweeping pasturage that thous-
ands of head of stock conld be
amply fed and grow fat. Mr..
Olmstead has twenty acres of
spring and twenty acres of fall
wheat heading out and promises
from fifteen to twenty bushels TO
the acre, also forty acres of corn
averaging eight inches high and
ten acres of oats. His garden is
something fine. He has one of
the best strawberry beds in this
part of the state, and about 1000
shade and fruit trees under first
class cultivation, from one to six
teen feet in heighth. His barn
and water storage accommoda-
tions are admirable for his stock
and water piped to the house. It
would take too long to- mention
every Improvement and facility
which Mr.. Olmstead has about
him. AS one stands and views
this great ranch and the splendid
garden, orchards, groves and
fields Of grain spread out before
him, it reminds him of scenes liz
old settled sections OF the central
or eastern states. The healthy
trees and the rapid growths they
have made. show what can be
done in Eastern Colorado.

CONGRESS READY TO ACT
think l am familiar with the
temper of Congress on the Color
ado situation, and / do not:hesi-
tate to say:
If the mine owner and striking
miners will agree to submit their
differences to a commission to be
appointed by the President, the
Owen Heating resolution can be
put through both houses in forty
eight hours. The president will
undoubtedly approve it and will
name a commission which will
command the confidence of the
country and which will decide
fearlessly and impartially be-
tween miner and mine-owner.
1t will he noted that the author
ity of the commission is not limi-
ted in any way--it is to be given
an absolutely free hand. It may
recognize it to a limited extent.
1t may grant the strikers de
mands or may sweep them out
Of court and declare that they
haven't a leg to stand on. Ina
word, it is made the supreme
court for the hearing and adjust
ment of this particular dispute.
The decision of the anthracite
commission was so satisfactory
that employer and employee have
labored in harmony for many
years and there is nothing to in
dicate a rupture in the near fu-
ture.
WEST VIRGINIA SETTLE
MENT.
A few days ago I was in the Of
fee of the secretary of Labor
when the two senators and four
congressman from West Virginia
entered and asked for an inter-
view with the Secretary.
They stated that the United
Mine Workers of America had
called a strike in the Kanahwa
coal fields in their state and that
about $4,000 men were affected.
The strikers had submitted a list
of grieviances-almost an exact
duplicate, by the way, of the de-
mands made by the Colorado
miners-and were insisting that
they would not go back to work
until their demands were granted.
Then came the interesting part
Of the interview.
I'VE believe this strike should
be settled at once" said one Of
the senators. The thing to do
is to submit it to arbitration.
We have with us certain gentle
men representing the mine own
ers and they authorize US to say
that the operators will submit
their case to any fair tribunal.
we want you, Mr.. Secretary, to
persuade the strikers to take the
same position"
Secretary Wilson Immediately
wired the miners leaders asking
them to come to Washington pre-
pared to discuss a settlement.
The following night the repre-
sentatives Of the operators met
the representatives Of their en-
ployes in a room in the New
Willard Hotel, and before this
letter is printed the Kanawha

ate by Senator Robert L. Ovens,
Of Oklahoma, and in the House
by Myself:
JOINT RESOLUTION
Authorizing the President to
appoint commission to settle
the Colorado coal strike.
!. Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That the Presi-
dent is hereby directed to ap-
point a commission of five per-
SONS. distinguished in experience
discretion, and integrity. and
free from any interest in the dis
puted questions, to invite the
coal operators and coal miners of
the State of Colorado to immedi-
ately submit the questions in
controversy to said commission
for settlement. Said commission
shall inquire into, consider, and
pass upon the questions in con-
troversy, and, if submitted, set
tie the same upon a just and per-
manent basis, with a view to
preventing the recurrence of
such difficulties in the future,
and in any contingency make a
full report of the facts and their
conclusions to Congress at the
earliest practicable date, and not
later than December first, nine
teen hundred and fourteen.
The resolution as originally
drafted was an exact copy of the
agreement under which Presi-
dent Roosevelt named commits
sion to adjust the famous anthra-
cite coal strike in Pennsylvania
and provided for "a commission
of five persons, one of whom
shall be an officer of the Engi-
neer corps Of either the military
or naval service of the United
States, one of whom shall be
an expert mining engineer, one
whom shall be familiar with the
commercial handling of coal, one
VIII ON shall be familiar with the
employment of labor, and one of
whom shall be of eminence as a
sociologist. -
We struck out the qualifications
of the members of the proposed
commission at the suggestion of
certain senators who felt that
the President should be left free
to select high class men without
regard to professional Or bust
ness connections.
GAVE PENNSYLVANIA
PEACE.
With the change noted, the
Overwhelming resolution is re-
production of the document
which enabled Roosevelt to bring
industrial peace to Pennsylvania
through the adjustment of a con-
troversy involving ten times as
many men and twenty times as
much capital as are concerned in
Colorado's difficulties.
Why can't the same results be
produced by the same means in
Colorado?
In what particular does the
Colorado strike differ from strikes
in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio or Illinois.
By comparison with other wars
which have claimed the attention
of the people of this country
within recent years. the Colorado
strike affects small number Of

Ohio Teachers Rebelled ut Prof.

what he said in his lecture on

This account. published under date
of November Z. read as follows:
"A score Of women school teachers

remarks in the course of his lecture on

They formally protested to the as

After telling how the stethoscope
was used on the heart to determine
whether a person was in love, the lee

such an instrument with him and had

Justice to the speaker. Such is tho case
with DIR. Mabel Ulrich. who is lecturing
to the girls of Washburn college this
week. The girls had been promised a rare
treat in the series of lectures, but no
words can describe the rare charm and
magnetic personality of Dr. Ulrich As
well her lecture to the young women
DIR. Ulrich spoke to the entire college at
the chapel hour. In part DR.. Ulrich said:
THE hope of civilization Is in the west,
and in the co-educational schools Of the
west. 1t is co-educational schools that
are preparing men and women to solve
the social problems of the day. Men can
never solve these problems alone They
are beginning to realize that they must
have the help of women il the work.
THE criticism that find with students
of western colleges is that they have less
interest in social problems they have less
social consciousness than eastern stud
ents. This is the time of your life to d.
rect your adolescent power into actual.
valuable, constructive work, instead of
wasting 1t in aimless fussing.''
