Important Hay Listinfs

A'ADSf eNtN AhSy NtcitaEo
AS the result of efforts of the
representatives of the Missis-
sippi Hay Growers Association
before the National Association
meeting in Cedar Point, Ohio,
the past week, alfalfa and John
son mixed hay was listed in the
gradings of the national associa-
ton for the first time.
The Mississippi association was
represented by Mr.. W. E. Stokes
of Macon, president, aud Mr.. j.
.G. Weatherly, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce of this
city, 1t was also their purpose
to secure a readjustment of the
grades on JohnSoa grass hay,
but the rules of the association
permit no changes in it's Istings
and grades inside of three years
after their adoption. The pres
ent grades were adopted last
year, but a general change will
be permissible next year at
which time it is believed salts
factory action may be secured.
The way was paved for this at
the session the past week,
A potent, though technical
change, was made with refer
ence to Johnson grass h}y
through the efforts Of M.
WeatherlY and Mr.. Stokes. The
word grass was eliminated from
all reference to the hay, and
henceforth it will be designated
as Johnson hay.
AS much of the hay at certain
seasons shipped from this sec
| ton is a mixture Of alfalfa and
/ Johnson hay the adoption and
listing of these grades is re-
| garded as. extremely important.
Following is a draft of the
grades as adopted;
Choice Alfalfa and Johnson
Mixed Hay-Shall be three
quarters alfalfa of good color
sound and we'll baled, mixed
with one-quarter Of Johnson hay
of good color.
No. |, Alfalfa and Johnson
Mixed Hay-Shall be alfalfa and
johnson hay, One-half each, Of
good color, sound and well baled,
No. 2, Alfalfa and Johnson
Mixed Hay-ShalI be alfalfa and
Johnson hay not good enough
for No. /, and shall contain one
fourth alfalfa and three-fourths
johnson hay, with not more than
| 10 per cent of other native
| grasses. Same shall be sound
and well baled. Columbus Dis

Agricultural Commits Toner
Blakeslee decided to accept the
/ position of Director General of
the Mississippi Centennial Ex-
position, when the commissioners
boosted the salary of $1,000 90
a year to $6,000.00. Consider
ing the amount Of the approDri-
alton for the Centennial, and
that the dictatorship is to an eX-
tent honorary as well as pecuni-
airy, a salary Of $5,000.00 year
was lavish; twice as much indeed
as the one Commissioner of
Agriculture Blakeskee gives up,
If the salary boosted to meet his
demands is to be taken as a
standard of such expenditures,
the amount for exhibits, etc.
will be trimmed pretty close. It
leaves Mr.. Blakeslee, who has
been 50 profuse in advertising
the purity and bigness of his de
votion to his state, no ground of
claiming anything sacrificed pro
bono publicO. This action of the
Centennial Directors can but put
a bad taste in the mouths of the
taxpayers, as it fixes a standard
of extravaganza and waste at
the very inception of the dis
bursement Of the appropriation
for this exposition. -Vicksburg

Natural Gas Used For Engine
Fuel To Eliminate Heavy Coal
Bills Stock Withdrawn
stockholders ELATED

c. E. Hubbard returned Tuesday
evening from DeBeque where he inves-
tigated the work being done by the
Rifle:DeBeque Oil and Gas company of
which Mr.. Hubbard is the secretary
treasurer. The trip was made by Mr..
Hubbard for the purpose of driving
down horse and buggy which the com.
pany had just purchased for the use of
Manager Kessler in his work.
The new well has been started the
sixteen inch hole being down about 20
feet, which is just the beginning of
what is fully believed will be made Il
producing well not many weeks hence.
On account of the great saving which
can be made by burning natural gas
instead of coal in the engine it was
thought wise to stop drilling long
enough to connect up the gas for that
purpose, and the men are now working
to put the gas well in order, but it is
thought that will be a short task. A
carload of casing has Just been shipped
in from Florence and it is expected
that when drilling is again resumed
there will be but little to delay the
work and that rapid progress will be
made.
The matter of making the bitches for
piping the gas to the town of DeBeque
and through the streets thereof is de-
manding considerable attention from
the company and this will be the next
active work started.
Much of the stock Of the new COM
pany has been sold in Florida, $4,000
shares having recently been disposed
of in Miami in one day by DR.. j. +.
Miller for 25 cents per share. The
heavy Florida tockholders are 20 high
ly elated over the prospects Of the
DeBeque well that they have advised
that the remaining stock be taken foh
of the market, as they believe the
stock will soon be sought at par valuc
of 81 per share.
Mr.. Hubbard says the best Of feeling
prevails in the DeBeqhe community,
and ali are looking forward to great
things in connection with the new woll.

WORTHY OF ATTENTION

An address of more than ordinary in

who have interest in community spirit
or in whom the cooperative spirit of
development and upbuilding is promi-
nent was that recently delivered by
DR.. w. H. P. Faunce, president of

contains SO many excellent expressions,
which are quite as applicable to Glen
wood as to Denver, that we are glad
to reproduce it for the benefit of our

DR.. Faunce spoke as follows:

Sidewalk Built Of Stone
From Wyoming Torn Up

The old stone sidewalk at Tenth
and Harvey streets, in front OF the
building that for years was the James
Stephenson livery, sales and feed
stables, is being torn out and In its
place one of cement is being laid. The
stone sidewalk was laid more than
twenty-five years ago and OF ma.
terial brought from Wyoming, and
there had never been sidewalk laid
in Omaha that has been responsible
for quite as much profanity.
The stone in the Stephenson side
walk was brought from some of the
Wyoming fossil beds, and the stone
was filled with petrihed sticks, fish,
snakes and other creatures that
roamed up and down upon the earth
centuries ago, when it was in its max
ing. As these disintegrated and broke
out of the solid lime rock, they left
cavities anywhere from one-half to
an inch in depth. AS a result the
sidewalk became as rough as a
stretch of cobble stone road and was
hard to walk over.

City Hall Will Be
Remodeled Without
Regard to Howell

The city commissioners are deter
mined to remodel the city hall with
out dictation from General Manager
Howell of the municipal water de-
partment.
At the city council meeting Mr..
Howell offered resolution, propos-
ing that the water department shall
reserve the right to use its present
meeting room on the second floor
at any and all times it wishes. The
council proposes to require the water
board to meet in the city council
chamber, which is convenient and
commodious and not used often by
the council.
As the matter now stands, Mr..
Howell will accept such rooms the
council may assign to his department
after the remodeling, or he may move
to the court house or to some other
building.
