Determination Of Company to
Close Property Comes With
out Notice to Workmen
CREATES SURPRISE

What is regarded as severe blow
to the industries of Garfield county
came this week when the coal mines at
South Canon were closed down for an
indefinite time. The decision of the
company in this respect came as sur
prise to the workmen who. were only
made aware Of the plan few days be-
fore the final shut-do last Tuesday.
The men say they were given to under
stand that the mines would be closed
for an indefinite time. Some, however,
claim to have been given the impress
sion that there might be resumption
Of activities in about 80 days.
There are various stories and theo-
ries ~ to why the company has ceased
to operate this property and almost
everyone who discusses the matter has
a different explanation and there may
possibly be little truth in each story.
One says the vein has pinched out and
before coal can be profitably mined in
the camp it will bs- necessary to opon
up new vein. Another who should
know declares that over 5000 tons u
ceel ~ now broken down in the mine

POTATO FAMINE Is PROBABLE

Albany, N. Y, March IA potato
the state agricultural department, it
was said today, that last years potato
crop is nearing exhaustion, and that
there is little prospect of obtaining
any from either Maine or New Jersey.
Other years at this time hundreds of
train loads Of potatoes have beeu
shipped into this state from nearby
states, but now that source of supply
is also very low and they will be ul-
able to help this year.
The price is rapidly increasing. Po-
tatoes that were selling from 81 and
$3.50 barrel early last fall cannot be
bought at the present time for less than
$3.50 and So a barrel. According to
several local produce men, Indications
are that the prices will take another
big jump within week. In New York
City, where potatoes sold few months
ago for $3.50 sack wholesale, the
price is now 81.
The reason given for the shortage by
Prof. George P. Atwood of the state
agricultural department today, was the
blight and the heavy rains of last sea-
son. According to Prof. Atwood 53,
215,000 bushels of potatoes were raised
in this state during the year 1914. Last
year the crop only amounted to q.
100000 bushels, which is 3l,2O5, 900
bushels less than the potato crop/of
two years ago.
800, 900 Bushels Left
1t is conservatively estimated by the
state agricultural department that there
are only about 100000 bushels of po.
tatoes in the state today. Last year
this time there were over 100000
bushels.
If the nine or ten million people of
New York state can make the 100000
bushels last until the middle of next
July when the farmers will begin to dig
their early potato crop, all will be well,
but according to experts in the agricul.
tural department, this will be impossi-
BILE. At the lowest estimate, by mon
who have followed the potato market
for years, nothing less than 100000
bushels will carry the people Of this
state over until July.
About month ago the New Jersey
crop was cleaned up by New York
state buyers, and Names crop is nov
on the wane. Some buyers are already
trying to get supply from Michigan,
but this is practically impossible, as
that state has no more than her people
will need during the next five months.
No Seed Potatoes
Never before in the history of the
state, according to Prof. Atwood, have
the farmers faced So difficult propo-
sition of obtaining good seed potatoes.
"If the farmers succeed in getting
enough seed potatoes to plant, the
chances are that the seed will be dis.
eased, and the potatoes will readily
become a prey to the blight early next
year." said Prof. Atwood.
"The only way that the farmers Of
this state will ever be able to raise
good potatoes again." he continued,
twill be by spraying the vines five
and six times in season with bordeaux
mixture. The potato vines become at
fected with the blight before the farm
er knows it. Apparently it does not
seem to injure the potato, only the
vines, but when the farmer comes TO
put those same potatoes in his cellar
he finds that they rot with amazing

CAPITAL CORRESPONDENCE

Denver, Feb. 2s.-The Republican
state officials who made the trip last
week to the western slope are enthusi-
astic in their praise of the reception
accorded them. They declare that the
interest shown by the people in the
different state problems, and their ap-
probation of the efforts made to mail
tain the honor and credit of the state,
was most gratifying and encouraging.
The knocker and chronic fault finder
and pessimist was not in evidence.
On the other hand, in every town
visited, without single exception,
there was manifested desire to hold
up the hands Of the executive officers
and to back them in every effort to
enforce the laws and develop the re.
sources of, the state. There was every.
where exhibited % Satisfaction and
pride in their homes and local conli.
tions that indicates that Colorado is
rapidly passing out Of the pioneer
stage and that very large percentage
of the population is now composed Of
people born in this state, to whom Colo
RADIO means home.
The state officers have returned with
their convictions strengthened that 1916
is Republican year. Former differ
ences, caused largely by stupid party
management, have been forgotten. In
the new and vital issues that have
arisen the voters are not in mood
to listen patiently to leaders who place
their own ambitions and injured price
above their country's welfare.
1t is becoming more certain eve:y
day that there will be but two tickets
in the field next fall, one of them rep
resenting the party of expediency, the
other, the one of principle.
The total receipts by the treasurer
last year, from all sources, were ST.
1872, ,7sO.64. OF this amount S295, ,479.l7
was received from the inheritance tax;
$251.746.O3 from the insurance depart
ment; $1O1, ,62s.47 from the different in
spection departments; $737,663.25 from
the land department; $49,7790l from
the fish and game department; anu
from fees taken in by the secretary of
state, $179,3l179. In nearly every
item the receipts are above those of
former years and show in an unmis-
taxable mhnner the healthy growth
that the state is enjoying at the pres
ent time.
1t is gratifying also to know that the
state is rapidly paying off debts OF
the previous administration and get
ting on cash basis.
On February 10, 1915, there were out
standing warrants amounting to $780,
7O6.O2. On February 10, 1915, these
had been reduced to $843,481.55.
There had also, during the same time,
been claims against the state incurred
by former administrations, and for
which warrants had not been issued,
settled, amounting to much over a
hundred thousand dollars.
II the 1915 taxes were now in hand,
every current outstanding obligation Of
the state could ct once be paid and
there would be left over q surplus OF
at least . million dollars. This is not
a bad showing for . state that has
passed through such troublous times as
has Colorado.

Dore and Amichaux Pick up
Runaway Cons Who Tired
Of Building State Road
RETURNED TO PRISON

If you would know how a man prizes
his liberty you should see the fight
that is put up by an escaped convict
when he is once re-captured.
The two eonvicts that escaped from
the canon road camp last week were
both caught near Glenwood the first of
this week and two of the Glenwood
boys are each 800 richer, or rather
they will be as soon as Warden lyman
gets time to send them checks for the
amount of the reward which the state
pays for the re-capture of an escaped
convict.
Thursday night of last week the two
"cons'' broke into the section house
at Chacra and stole two suits of
clothes, being the glad togs of the Sec
tion foreman. Caching their prison
garb in cre~ice in a gulch near
South Canon and donning their newly
acquired glad rags the fellows ven
tured toward Glenwood-and there IS
where they made mistake.
Friday night Undersheriff Perry Mall
aby came on the two fellows in the
sand house in the Rio Grande yards
and after relieving the white fellow
of the gun which belonged to the sec
ton boss he started to march the two
across the bridge and up to the county
Jail. AT least that was Perry's pro-
gram, but the best laid plains, etc
Perry's ankle turned and he fell down.
When he got up and started to run
that ankle refused to work and he
tumbled over pile of cinders ami
skinned his head badly.
Realizing the disabled condition of
their captor the men ran for their
lives and succeeded in making the-r
getaway.
Saturday evening near Wash Aliens
bath house Jess Dore captured the ne
gro, James johnson, and soon after
landed him in. the county, Jail.
Early Monday morning Claude Ami
chaux captured Earl Ryan, the white
fellow, near South Canon. He toox
RYAN to his home and gave him ms
breakfast aud then with the assistance
of Clayt Hill brought his prisoner 10
Glenwood and turned him over TO the
sheriff. Ryan made hard plea rof
his liberty, but there was nothing do
| ing with Claude and he is now looking
for a check from Warden lyman to re-
nav him for his work. Both men are
in the county Jail and the penitentiary
officials have not advised Sheriff Jes-
sup when they will come over and re-
turn the men to the state prison.
There will be no more road work or
any form of lenieney for these Fellows.
Later:-Yesterday Mr.. Tippett, pris-
on probation officer, came over from
Canon City, paid Dore and Amiehaux
each $50 instead of the 500 hereto
fore paid for the capture of prisoners,
went up to the road camp and took
one of the fellows who has refused to
work, went to the county jail and
chained johnson and Ryan together
and left for Canon City on Rio Grande
No. l6. Mr.. Tippett claims that the
first of this year the prison authorities
decided to pay but $50 for the capture
of escaped convicts instead of the $loo
purse heretofore paid, but he failed to
explain why they had failed to notify
the sheriffs and other officers to that
effect.

BEAT THE HESSIAN FLY

Seed your wheat late so that the
Hessian fly cannot lay its eggs upon
the young plants and injure them
next spring. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture, (Farmer's
Bulletin No. 640) says: The appli
cation broadcast of some quickacting
fertilizer containing a large percent
age of phosphate (phospOrus) made
as soon as a general infestation is ap-
parent will cause the plants to tiller
more freely and give them sufficient
vigOr to withstand the winter and
thus increase the number of healthy
stems the following spring. While it
may seem "far fetched" to bring for
ward as preventive measure the en-
richment of the soil, a fertile soil will
produce plants that will withstand
with little injury attacks that will
prove disasterous to plants growing
on thin or impoverished soil. 1t is
also on the thin or impoverished soils
that the difficulty of sowing late en-
Ough to evade the fall attack and at
the same time secure a growth suffi-
cient to Withstand the winter is en-
countered and whatever can be done
to obviate this difficulty will consti-
tute preventive measure"
