Eastern Colorado Farms Success.

Denver.-Farming in the semi-arid
regions of eastern Colorado need no
longer be regarded as problematical,
in the opinion of Governor Carlson,
who returned to Denver after a trip
that included the federal experimental
station at Akron. DRY farming of
winter wheat covering a five-year
period shows an average of twenty
two bushels to the acre" the governor
said. 1T proves that the men of that
vicinity know how to farm and that
they are preparing the way for the
dairy COW and the silo. The develop
ment of that country will be direct
asset to Denver and the city should
help to solve the one drawback to that
country, the high rate of interest
charged on farm loans"

Memph,s.-Mayor Crump, Fire and
Police Commissioner Utley, Chief of
Police Hayes, Inspector Police Perry
and Sergeant Kehoe have been held
technically guilty of contempt of court
by Judge Mccall of the United States

Chief Deputy Butler were declared not
guilty of the offense.
No penalty was exacted against the
defendants, but that they were re-

Mccall declined to either sentence or
fine the defendants, holding that co,

the part of the city and county Off
Gals in enforcing the law should be

The contempt proceedings arose
over an act on the part of the police
department and the sheriff in sending
patrolmen and deputy sheriffs to the
river front and placing them on the
levee before the excursion steamer
Menge, while that boat was loading
passengers preparatory to making
trips. They are charged with attempt
