WEATHER CROP REPORT
CROPS HAVE MADE SATISFAc-
TORY PROGRESS IN COLORADO.
Sugar Beets and Small Grain Making
Rapid Growth and Garden Truck
Doing Well.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Denver.-F. H. Brandenburg, dis
trict forecaster of the weather and
crop bureau, in his weekly report,
says:
AT the opening of the week moder-
ate to heavy rain fell over the greater
part OF the state east of the noun
tains. These rains were timely and
fell over sections of the state where
most needed. Fairly well distributed
showers occurred in the counties on
the Western slope. The moisture was
generally ample for crop growth. Tenn
perature conditions were practically
normal in the eastern half of the
state; in the western half the weather
was somewhat cooler than the season
al average. The days were warm and
the sunshine abundant; the nights,
however, were relatively cool.
For the state as a whole weather
conditions have been favorable and
crops have made satisfactory progress.
Some damage has been caused by hail,
especially in Boulder county. Alfalfa
in localities in the western part of the
state has been beaten down by wind
and rain, but the damage has not been
great. Sugar beets are making rapid
growth, also small grain. Garden
truck, corn and potatoes are doing
well. Cutting of the first crop of al
falfa is progressing rapidly, the quail
ity as well as the yield being good.
Early fruits are being gathered in
the southwestern part of the state.

Find Rich Silver Ore Near Pitkin.


Pitkin.-A discovery of ore which
averages 33S ounces of silver to the
ton and "a per cent in lead in five
tests has been made five miles north
east of PitlIin county by A. l.. Pear
son, son of State Senator John F,
Pearson, and associates. Senator Pear
son said that the tests have shown Il
variation from 20 ounces in silver to
1,094 ounces. News of the strike has
led many prospectors in the neighbor-
ing country to rush to the point to
take up claims. Those associated
with young Pearson are w. B. Miller
and Wallace Rede, both of Pttkin. The
location of the discovery is between
Pitkin and White Pine, which was
once a heavily producing camp. 1t is
fortunately situated upon the line of
a state highway which is now being
built and is five miles from Juanita
Hot Springs. Senator Pearson de-
scribes the ore as of the same forma-
ton as that in the famous Park City,
Utah mines The vein is about three
feet in width and gives one foot of
ore, 1t was found twelve feet below
the surface. The gold runs from 81 to
81 ton.

Eoulder.-At the sheriff's office,
under the cross-quesuoning of Deputy
District Attorney Martin, Charles Gas
mann, the chef at Cooks restaurant,
who was arrested in connection with
the attack on Miss Elsie Shannon, who
was stabbed in the back as she was
walking to the home of C. E. Coulehan,
broke down and confessed that he was
guilty.
He did not know the girl, he said,
and had absolutely no motive for at
tacking her He said that he could
not explain, except by saying that a
strange feeling came upon him. His
confession strengthens the belief that
he is irrational although Sheriff Bus

might be shamming. If he could get
himself committed to the insane asy

all probability, before he would be re-

BELFAST, Ireland, March 21.-
Ulster this morning presented a very

occupied by soldiers OF the regular

intense excitement, prevails and ey-
ierybody seems waiting. In anxious OK

Still more troops are on their way to

AN UNKIND THRUST /

Tie Times IN its news story and It's
editorial column this morning ear
rtes a mean personal thrust that does
no newspaper credit from ah ethical
point OF view. A spitcful venom is
carefully covered. We have never
exhibited any such feeling towards
any writer's or editors OF the Times.
In fact We entertain most cordial
feeling, personally for them. although
we have differed with them upon
many questions and by the political
nature Of the two papers We must
expect to continue to differ with
them upon many questions in The
future. We trust that no personali-
ties will ever be INDUCED in to mal
this friendly feeling and respect ont
for the other:
We regret that, even so much a.
this should be said.

An all rail route to Alaska is very
much of a probability. The action
of the Government at Washington
in appropriating $35. 000,0 900 for
railroad building in Alaska has been
followed quickly by the announce
ment that Canada has decided to
build a road to the Alaskan boundary
to there meet the proposed Alaskan
road which has been authorized by
the United States Government. If
this project is carried through it
means that Alaska may be reached
by railroad. Secretary Lane de-
clares that it is possible for the United
States to build the road in Alaska to
the boundary by the time the Ca
nadians are likely to reach the pro-
posed point of junction. He thinks
the plan entirely feasible and he ex-
poets that in ten years the ail-rail
route to Alaska will be realized.
