Doubles National Debt

The unanimity with which those who
would socialize the railroads and the
telephones, and what not else, hit up
on per cent as the probable cost of
capital to the government, is extra
ordinary. Possibly it is necessary to
make it per cent for the sake Of get
ting profit at the end. Mr.. Lewis
reckons that the telephones would cost
only $9O0,0O0,O0O. He would a little
less than double the national debt.
Clifford Thorne, to socialize the rail
roads, would increase it many fold,
but always at per cent. Among the
great nations of the world this one is
remarkable for borrowing SO little,
and spending so much out Of current
income, and its credit on that &C.
count is high, but its Panama canal
3s have been selling this year under
par. 1t has barely per cent credit
now. II it embarked in the telephone
and railway business and began to
issue bonds to replace private capital
it might not long enjoy three per
cent credit.-New York Times Anal
yst.

in the reservoir-more than enough
to irrigate the entire $4,000 acres in
the project one season. An influx of
land owners will surely follow the
filling of the reservoir. There is not
an acre of land under the project
but what water is available for as
soon as put under cultivation. Those
who have out crops need never worry
over crop failure as in the past
three years.
Manager Fred L. Harris of the
Two Buttes Co. is elated over the
bright future now awaiting his pet
project; and no wonder, for that
dream of the filling of the reservoir
has at last come true.-Artesia Call.

was to make her wishes known. AL
bert Van Tuinen, chief dairyman, was
always on the job.
May Rilma, in the process of break
ing the record, produced 19,639.5
pounds of milk which showed 1,O59.55
pounds of butter fat. And all this
in exactly 365 days, ending April 7.
And what is more, May Rilma not
only broke the record for Major
Cassatt, but earned $716.19 for him
during those 1855 days.
May Rilma's daily feed consisted of
sixty-four pounds of mixed grain
ration, beet pulp, molasses, ensilage,
and hay. This cost $O.6995 day,
but May Rilma lived high, and high
living costs money these days. Be-
sides, on 81 days May Rilma had a
treat of carrots, which brought her
feed bill up to grand total of $27O.
May Rilma also slept on four tons
of straw at $11 ton. And she re-
quired one-fourth of mans time ev-
cry day in the year. So May Rilma
cost Major Cassatt $462.1S during
those momentous 365 days.
In return May Rilma furnished the
Major nearly ten tons of rich milk,
which was sold at six cents a pound.
So she offset the cost of her high liv-
ing by handing over to the Major
S1,17S.37 in cash. And anyone can
see that at the end of the 1856 days
the Majors bank account was $716.19
to the good-to say nothing of the
fact that May Rilma had made him
the proud pOssessor of the champion
milk giver Of the world.
The lesson of May Rilma's sue
cessful try at the record is simply that
there is money in a good mich COW
and that it pays to feed her right
| and take good care Of her. There is
nothing in what Major E. B. Cassatt
has done that any intelligent and en-
teprising farmer cannot donation

Rains Reach Over All Parts of Baca

ed for their faithfulness-the reser-
voir is full, or at least very nearly
80. The rains Of the past week have
furnished an immense run-off on the
water sheds Of Bear, Horse and
Butte creeks. The rainfall was
about equal in all parts of the coun-
ty, being five inches at the Two
Buttes reservoir.
There is more moisture in the

and with the reservoir full the great

county is assured.
A tremendous volume Of water came
down Butte creek, filling the reser-

as we go to press, the water in the
reservoir is still rising. 1t is not
expected that more than a foot of
water will be secured from the flow
coming down now. There is now q

COLORADO SAVES MOST
Leads Western States in the Amount
of Savings, with 23,600,0O0 In
Banks

Colorado leads the western states
in the amount of saving deposits. Ac-
cording to late report of the comp
troller of the treasury the savings
of this state amount to S23 500, 900, an
encouraging gain over the last fig
ures. Nebraska is second in this
group of states with savings deposits
amounting to s1s,9OO,OOO. Montana
comes third, with s13,4OO,OOO, Thrift,
as measured by the amount Of saw
ings deposits, has been attracting ma
tional attention of late. There have
been thrift campaigns in many cities
of the country and national thrift
society has been organized. Colorado's
leadership in this respect, among its
class of states, is regarded as an hon
or of Importance.

SOME MOISTURE
Entire Eastern Slope Gets = Big
Soaking the Pas, Week

The rains of last week kept up un.
til all eastern Colorado got the heav.
lest general rainfall for several
years and the rivers were flooded
for the first time since 1908. The rain
fall was from inches up, averaging
about Az inches over the entire east
half of the state.
The Arkansas river got on an
old fashioned tear and overlooked its
banks all along this section. The rail-
road bridge of the A. v. across the
river north of Lamar was put out of
commission about 200 feet going out.
One span of the Carlton bridge went
out and a considerable portion of the
approaches.
The water got up into the fair
of injury to Mr.. Maxwell's stock and
improvements, but not as much as
first reported. OF his valuable animal
collection only one bear was lost, and
while the poultry loss was nothing
like he expected, still the damage
was considerable both there and at the
Frank Maxwell poultry ranch ad-
joining.
Enough Picketwire water went to
waste to have meant seasons ir-
rigation for all the proposed irriga-
ton enterprises under it, and the Two
Buttes got more storage water in its
reservoir than in all the three years
previous. Manager Harris, who has
never lost his nerve but kept right
on making improvements to prepare
for the best use of the water, is now
amply justified and we believe that
the worst of the difficulties in the de-
velopment of this valuable enterprise
are over.
The whole farming section along
the valley has had thorough soak
ing which will be of almost incalcul-
able benefit and all the bitches are
assured of water for crops this sea-
son.

two weeks at the Federal park in
Kansas City, and they had about
as much chance to put ball by him

President Wilson.
Casey Jones, the heavy slugger of
last seasons game, knocked the COW
err off the first ball pitched to him,
but after running down Burns home
and felt too much sympathy for the
fielders to do it again. S. A. Crazy
and j. A. Carrico represented the
newspaper fraternity in the game and
well they will remain in their pres
ent jobs. Connie Mack hasn't sent
for them. Albert Hagerman was the
best disguised of all. Nobody would
have dreamed that only few short
years ago he was captain of the Ar
kansas valley high school champions.
Frank Sayler welding Honus Wag-
ner's wagon tongue started the sem
sational batting rally in the ninth
inning when the score was 10 to z
in favor of the Irish Ward and two
Feds out, and which did not end I'M
til the score was tied. 1t is now ru-
mored that Hughey Jennings has tel
egraphed for him to fill out that fam
GUS Cobb Crawford outfield. Rev. De-
Witt attempted at first to add dignity
to the afternoons program, but after
the umpire gave him the worst of
two or three raw ones he got into the

MILLIONS CROP AGAIN
Railroads and Bankers Say Outlook
Best in COl0radO's History

sociation, through George T. Wells of
Denver, and by the railroads in the
state, through their agents, show
that the prospects for a mammoth ag-
ricultural crop in Colorado this year
is better than ever before. The total
of last years crop was variously es-
timated, there being no way for the
gathering Of accurate statistics, but
the average of estimates did not fall
below $100,000,00O. By those best
informed as to crop outlook now, it
is predicted that the crop output of
this year will exceed that of last
year by not less than SIS, 000.00
According to reports received by
the bankers association, which repre-
sents forty-one counties and covers
practically every section Of the state,
increase in acreage in crops over last
year ranges, in many parts of the
state, from ten to fifteen per cent.
Everywhere, both in the dry farming
and the irrigated sections, crops, ow-
ing to the ample moisture, are in
fine condition. What is perhaps most
encouraging that Colorado is going
to make big advance this year is the
employment of better agricultural
methods and better farm manage
ment. There is q better balanced di-
versified farming. AS never before,
farmers are realizing the importance
Of having their places well stocked.
1t is assured that there will be de-
cided increase in the hog and dairy
output in the state this year.
As one Of . number Of illustrations,
the bank Of Lamar, in Prowers coun-
ty, reports that two thousand head Of
Holstein cows have been shipped into
that county from the east within the
last few months. Farmers are NOV
ing in from dairy countries in the
east. A new milk condenser was re-
Gently put in operation at Lamar.
Signs in other parts Of the state
indicate that the tide Of immigration
is again setting towards Colorado.
Twenty-Five cars Of immigrants with
their belongings recently arrived in
Iliff in Logan county. Hundreds Of
silos to can green stuff for dairy feed
next winter will go up in eastern
Colorado this year. New creameries
and cheese factories are also being
planned. Communities are now fully
awake to the importance of turning
as much Of their raw output into a
finished product as possible.
Especially does it look like the west
ern slope would take big step for
ward this year. The outlook is for
a fruit crop that will smash all rec
ords by large margin. The most
critical frost period has been passed.
The Montrose National bank reports
that the indications are that 1000
cars of products will be shipped from
that county alone this year.

BLOOD TO THE BRIDES
Drawn Battle Between Irish Warders
and Federals. Nothing But More
Blood Will Satisfy Contest
ants
WE SHOULD WORRY

A large crowd was drawn out to
Association Park in Sonora addition
on Tuesday afternoon to witness the
attempt to settle the ancient fued
that has ragged for years between the
City Hall or Irish Ward and the
Court House or Federals, and after
hours of excessive labor and wading
knee deep in perspiration neither side
could do better than draw, and as
neither contestant will be satisfied
with anything less than a complete
victory another battle is necessity.
The first five innings were great
disappointment to the crowd as it
looked like several real ball players
had broken into the game and would
spoil it, but after that the real ex-
element began and the rottenest
hopes of the jeering bleachers was
tame compared to the weird exhibit
ton given by the rapidly firing but
still valiant warriors. Victory after
perching on first one banner and then
on the other finally held her nose
and straddled the fence, and would not
be coaxed from that point of want
age. After ten innings with the score
standing 10 to 10 Umpire Henry call
ed the game because the sun was too
high, and the dove of peace beckoned
some of her champions favorite bev-
erage, grape juice, could be obtained
in a more or less fermented state.
For five innings it was a pitchers
battle between Christy Matthewson of
Of the Irish Ward and Mordecai
Burns of the Federals, but both weak
ened under the nerve-wrecking strain
and the batters began to fatten up
their averages. In the excitement
the players very conveniently forgot
their errors and wildly magnified
their good plays SO that the score
keeper could not convince them they
did not put out ten or a dozen
of their opponents each inning. The
umpiring was the most unanimously
successful ever seen here. He mis-
judged every play according to the
side that got the worst of it, and was
always right according to the other
fellows.
The pitchers were the leading he
roes of the day-but what of the days
which have followed-aye, there's the
rub. J. P. Campbell who caught for
the Feds stopped every ball that did
not get past him and distinguished
himself at stealing bases and turns at
bat. VIM. Corson started to catch
for "Christy" but soon remembered
he had a sore finger and turned the
job over to DR.. Spicer, who when he
could not catch 'em stopped 'em with
his frontispiece.
Capt. Marx Of the Federals had
visibly heightened observation-disclosures
ers since the last game, and covered
all the ground from the right field
fence to within fifty feet of where the
ball fell in true professional style.
Two of the most remarkable plays of
the game were C. A. Coker and Billy
Burger beating out home run hits and
making first base on the play by an
eyelash.
1t was easy to see that Ray Adams
Of the Feds in watching the Worlds
series picked McInnis for his guide
instead of Merkle and the nonchal-
ance with which he put 'em out at
first is only equalled by Villa killing

BIG CROSSTIE THEFT.
$4,000 Stolen FSom Florida Railroad
Right of Way.

What Is considered one of the most
extensive grobberies in the history Of
Duval county was disclosed when sew
en- negroes and two white men were
placed under arrest by Deputy Sher-
ifs Crawford, Haddock and McCloud,
charged with the larceny of railroad
ties from the Florida Railway, which
had been, in the process of construc-
tion from Live Oak to Jacksonville.
1t is said that over $4,000 crossties
have been taken from the right Of
way of the railroad in the past few
weeks and disposed of by the thieves
to other parties at good price.
Well known white men are said to
have been implicated in the wholesale
steal of ties, as well as many negroes.
