numbers Of the series since Schumann-
Heink was here in the fall.
zone Of the best features Of the
evening was a duet, 'Santuzza and

Popular Books-Opie Read

The number Of volumes sold serves
as a pretty good index Of a books
popularity and is something Of a guide
as to its merits.
But there is another test,-the lib
rary test Here we have books
record, not compiled from figures and
statistics, but from its soiled back, its
worn binding, its torn leaves, and its
thumb marked pages. These marks
are the indisputable evidences Of popu-
larity.
Go down TO our library; at a glance
you can tell which books of fiction are
most highly priced. Look on the "R"
shelf and you will find couple dozen
books that show the "ear-marks Of
much handling"
These are Opie Reads Novels. And
while they are comparatively new
.books,-most of them written the last
decade,-you will find them worn and
sadly soiled.
As you look at this array Of worn
out books you cannot keep from spec
ulating as to the number Of people
who have been made happy by reading
the bright, cheerful, and quantity
characteristic stories Of Opie Read.
After Chautauqua is over and we have
had an opportunity Of meeting Mr..
Read, we will want to read the rest Of
his books.

GROWING BEET SEED
Industry no Longer Experiment in u.
s.; Require Years to Bring Up
to Standard

W. X. WHITEWATER, Of San Francis
co, who is recognized as the leading
authority on beet seed in the United
States, and who has been actively en-
gagged for several years in seeking to
establish the industry here, makes
a statement regarding the progress
and possibilities of beet production in
the United States in Facts About
Sugar" of which the following is an
extract:
1.-THE production Of frst-class beet
seed in certain localities Of the United
States is far beyond the experimental
stage, and the fact has been fully es-
tablished that seed can be produced
equaling, if not surprising, in yield
and quality any such product Of Eu-
rope, from which country the Ameri-
can beet sugar industry obtains its en-
tire supply.
In order TO produce pedigree seed
whose inherited qualities are passed
on to the next generation, it is essen
tial that we use only the genuine
mother seed. The use Of ordinary
commercial seed for propagation
would result in failure. The cost Of
mother seed to US is So pound, which
is nominal considering the eXpese in
CURED in the scientific breeding and
selection for its satisfactory produc-
ton. These involve years of work, n
large investment for equipment, and
the employment Of special talent ad-
apted to and highly experienced in
this special work. / have neNei been
able to understand why an Industry
which has nearly S1O0C00,O0O in
factories should continue TO rely on
Europe for its supply of seed, the very
of its investment, when It
has been so clearly demonstrated that
we possess all the factors essential to
the production Of frst-class sect at
home. The difference in ,Gst reduced
to units per acre and pound Of sugar
would practically be insignificant, and
largely offset by the advantages deriy-
ed from the use of the home product"
Mr.. WHITEWATER reports that, with
ordinarily favorable growing c"ndi-
tions during the coming seas m, some
500, 1000 pounds Of beet seed will be
produced in Utah and Idaho, where
the industry is being developed with
the support Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
Ompany-National Farmer.

The Secretary's Cigarettes

The legislatures Of several states
have been wrestling with anti-tipping
laws. Mississippi already has such
law, which is more honored in the
breach than in the observance, very
much as are the anti-cigarette laws Of
most states which attempt to regulate
personal habits by law. Nebraska
has an anti-cigarette law, but" says
a writer in the Omaha Bee, 81 never
heard Of any serious effort anywhere
to enforce it. When Secretary Of War
Garrison was here about year ago,
was on the reception committee and as
we were coming out of one Of the big
office buildings The Bee building
to US who were serving as his escort
he seemed suddenly to disappear. l
went back and found the secretary in
front Of a cigar stand.
I'VE feared we had lost you, Mr.
Secretary"
oh" said he, q just wanted a
package of cigarettes and, seeing this
place. just dropped back to buy them"
"Well, then" remarked, jokingly
you have helped break one of Nebras-
ka's most solemn laws"
"How's that" quizzically.
"Why," ! answered, our lawmakers
have strictly prohibited the sale Of
cigarettes to man, woman or child in
the state of Nebraska"
THAT it explains it, was his retort;
."I thought the girl looked at me rath-
er critically when | called for cigar
cites, but she reached out the package
without asking any questions"
That is just one shining example Of
the results Of freak legislation. am
wondering whether our law makers
will this time screw up courage and
conscience enough to repeal a fake
anti-cigarette law that only breeds law
defaIhce.

1910 and 1911. The amount which he
retained as directed by the state law
was S6S5.25. OF this, he paid into the
county treasury, under protest, 1928,
which was the amount of fees in 1909.
The law of 1907 under which the
clerks were given a fee for issuing
hunting and fishing licenses, provided
that whenever any hunting or fishing
license was issued by the clerk the fee
should be 81, one-fourth of which the
clerk should retain for his compensa-
ton for filing the application, issuing
the license, keeping record, making
a report thereof, and all other services
connected Herewith, one-fourth to be
paid into the general fund of the
county and the remaining one-half to
be paid to the game and fish commiss-
Toner.
There never was any question that
the clerks were only complying with
the law when they retained the fee.
THE question was whether the law was
valid. and the supreme court has de-
rided that it is invalid.

any manner impair or affect the pro-
visions of our treaties with foreign
nations"
1t appears from the opinion of the
customs court that there are at least
s, 800 treaty nation vessels in the
American foreign trade, and that there
are not over fifty American vessels.
As a favor" to our own ships the
democratic congress, according to this
decision, gave an equal bounty to
$500 competing foreign vessels.
In its decision the court referred to
statistics showing that the discount
provision reduces duties five per cent
upon considerably more than one-half
of all our dutiable imports. After all
its labored adjustment Of tariff rates
the democrats, in this single para
graph proposing five per cent dis
count practically destroyed the effect
of all preceding schedules, and in the
same breath conferred upon foreign
ships valuable privilege intended
only for our own ships.
In harmony with the decision of the
court Of customs appeals there will be
a refund of customs duties estimated
at from twelve million to fifteen mil
lion dollars. Who gets the benefit of
this refund? Eventually by far the
larger part of it will find its way into
the Golfers of foreign manufacturers.
Unless the United States supreme
curt reverses the decision Of the
court of customs appeals, these mill
lions of dollars must come out Of a
treasury already facing a huge deficit
resulting from gross mismanagement
by the present administration.

HOW THEY HELPED
Democratic laundering Makes Rich
Pickings for Foreign Ship Owners

Washington, d. c., June THE
court of customs appeals has just add
ed another act to the comedy of errors
in which the democratic adininistra-
ton takes the star part.
The court has rendered an opinion
on the construction of the provision in
the Underwood tariff law intended 10
give a five per cent discount in Gus
toms duties on merchandise imported
in American vessels, and has virtually
declared that the effect of the provis-
ion gives a wholesale discrimination
in favor of ships of foreign countries.
In recent article attention was di-
rected to this classic blunder then
pending before the customs court. The
slovenly methods by which it was
enacted were referred to, showing that
the democrats had a vague idea about
aiding American shipping, adopted a
vague method of extending such aid,
and by careless guesswork had thrown
che whole matter into the courts. II
was shown that during the debate in
congress republicans had given repeat
ed warnings that, apart from its policy
the phraseology of the five per cent
section was meaningless and should be
corrected to accomplish its purpose.
The decision of the court of customs
appeals completely confirms these
statements, and rubs it in by saying:
"The wisdom or expediency of the
policy is a matter into which we may
not inquire nor have we the right to
suspend the operation of the statute
because we may think its purpose is
not adequately accomplished"
1t will be recalled that the language
of the five per cent discount section
provided that nothing herein shall
be so construed as to abrogate or in

NOT ENTITLED TO FEES
Supreme Court Decides County Clerks
Must Return Hunting License Fees

That section 1888 of the session
laws of 1909 under which county
clerks of Colorado have retained 20
cents for each hunting and fishing
license issued, is invalid because it in
lcreases his salary which already is
fixed by the state law, is the decision
handed down by the supreme court in
a friendly suit brought by the County
commissioners of FL Paso county
against County Clerk Elroy C. Shell
den.
The suit was brought on an agreed
statement of facts and was decided in
Shelden's favor in the local district
court. At the commencement Of the
suit Sheldon sent letters to all of the
county clerks in the state, stating the
nature of the suit and the points in
volved, and notifying them that the
decision Of the supreme court would
affect every county in the state. A
very few contributed to the fund for
CARRYING on the action but most of the
clerks replied that they were not in
terested as their county commission
ers, county attorney and district attor-
ney had advised them that under the
law of 1909 they were entitled to the
fee.
The decision of the supreme court
affects all clerks back to the year 1907
as all clerks in the state have retained
the fee provided by law whenever they
issued hunting or fishing license.
In handling the game licenses, the
clerk makes no report to the county
but merely acts as a subagent for the
state game commissioner Section
2S3s, page 39l, of the session laws Of
1909, under which Sheldon and the
other county clerks have retained the
fees questioned, reads as follows:
"When a license is issued by a county
clerk, the fee shall be the same as if
issued by the commissioner, and %
cents thereof shall be for the person
al compensation of such clerk for fill
ing the application, issuing the license
keeping a record thereof, making a re-
port, and all other services connected
Herewith, and shall be in addition to
any other salary or compensation, the
remaining 70 cents to be RENTED to
fish and game commissioner"
State Game Commissioner w. B.
Fraser this morning telephoned Coun-
ty clerk Sheldon that his office still held
that county clerks were entitled to this
fee as indicated by the statute and
that he would do all he could to sup
port the clerks in their position.
Sheldon issued 2,737 licenses in 1909

the governor a good view Of this
great irrigation system The party
arrived at the Fort Lyon dredge boat
on the Adobe reservoir at 1880 and
found a big feast of fried chicken and
other good things awaiting them and
the 50 mile ride over rather rough
roads had mode them more than ready
for the feast.
After disposing Of the feast the
crowd spent an hour or so walking
over the dam and viewing the vast
expanse of water and the outlet canal
which was running a fair head of
water This big reservoir covers 5000
acres and is in many places over 30
feet deep. 1t now has 10000 acre feet
of available water, and is rising right
along in spite of the water being
drawn off. A little to the southwest
is another big lake, the Horse creek
reservoir, with about half as much
water, making ample provisions for
the system against a shortage.

lprovements one who has watched the
great development of this property
since the little committee of the farm
ers went before Judge Gunter and
demanded receiver only little
over 20 years ago, and had the nerve
afterwards to take hold of it and man
age it themselves without any capital
but such as they could assess them
selves, is most profoundly impressed
with their accomplishments beyond
anything these advance agents of
prosperity even dreamed of them
selves, and making of it the greatest
irrigation system in Colorado, and the
greatest in the world owned and de-
veloped by the farmers themselves
Every farmer in the valley should at
tend the big picnic at the reservoir
on July 4th, and see just what can be
accomplished by themselves when
grit and good management are com
bined.
After inspecting the works the
company autoed out TO look over the
big inlets from the river and from
Adobe creek, both Of which were run
ming good heads Of water.
The party returning reached Las
Animas at $3.50 where the governor
was royalty entertained by the Com
mercial Club and addressed a big
meeting. Governor Carlson express.
ed himself as highly pleased with his
visit and it will most likely prove
mutually beneficial to the governor
and the valley.
