few days. according to semi-ohicial esti-

Do the merchants of Denver ever
peruse the map of Colorado? Copies
of that important publication can be
had most readily. A fairly accurate
knowledge of the location and char
acteristics of the principal towns of
the state can help mighty in swelling
ones business receipts-at least it
may save a few serious leaks, as this
little tale shows.
An editor from Ordway was here
this week with his colleagues engaged
in the deliberations of the Colorado
Editorial association, which, by the
way. comprises about the brightest
set of doings periodically held in these
parts. Mr.. Editor had money in his
leans; also memorandum of certain
goods needed. The proprietor of a
certain Denver establishment which
he visited grew genial over the pros
pect of an important sale. He made
the fatal error, however, of lifting the
lid upon surprising amount of ig-
norance as to state geography-there-
by causing just what happened.
"Let me see, just where is Ord
way?" queried the merchant, when
the editor disclosed his home town.
as it on the western slope or in the
San Luis valley?"
The editor looked panied, and then
patiently explained that Ordway was
the county seat of Crowley county
about the richest little farming COM
munity in the famous cantaloupe and
beet growing region of the Arkansas
valley. Unfortunately for the mer-
chant, the order had not been closed.
Through the mind of the editor there
shot a recollection of the fact that
Denver merchants and manufacturers
had Joined in an appeal to the coun-
try for a spreading of the propogan-
da: "Buy Goods Made in Colorado. u
Here, he thought, was a Denver mer-
chant who was willing enough to re-
quest all the rest of the state to pur-
chase his wares, but who lacked the
enterprise of even looking over the
state to see where said goods might

Eight hundred republicans from

Fl Jebel Temple, Denver, on Febru-
AIRY 22nd. The banquet and L~ogram

ed that the banquet will be thrown
open to republicans from every coun-

Political leaders of all factions have
evidenced keen interest in the affair
as it is expected that as an outgrowth
the different warning factions within
the party will bury their differences
and unite on a program for two years

The manufacture of alfalfa meal
while new product to gouthern
Colorado, is rapidly becoming one OF
the best items of business in the val
ley Hardly a town exists in the val
ley that does not boast of an alfalfa
mill.
The present season has been the
best ever enjoyed by the mills. The
highest Of prices have been paid for
the meal. Starting at $40, the price
has steadily advanced to SIG per ton
and the mills have been forced to
work at full time to keep up with
orders.
The greater part Of the meal ground
in southern Colorado goes to Mem
phis, Tenn, for treatment before
being sold to the stock and sheep
raisers. The big order placed by the
Santa Fe is an exception. The meal
will be mixed at Emporia where the
latest equipment for such mixing ha
been installed.
A new policy has recently been in
augurated by the Santa Fe railway
The sheep feeding pens at Emporia
have been enlarged and the road can
now take charge Of $4,000 head OF
sheep at one time.
This has created much mere room
and it was recently announced tina
the railroad would feed sheep at the
pens for farmers who cannot feed
them on the farms.
By this new plan the railroad &C
cepts the sheep, moves them to EN-.
poria where they are fattened ano
then ships them to the Kansas City
and St Joseph markets, collecting
their fees after the sheep have beer
sold
This can be done much cheaper thar
on the individual farms, unless a larg,
number are being fed, it is said. TIL,

Too Proud to Loaf

We're camping on the Rio Grande
With nothing much to do
But wash our shirts and darn our
socks
And darn the insects, too.
We want the world to understand
We're not too proud to fight,
But draw the line at loafing here
With things that sting and bite.
The rattlers are a friendly lot
And visit us by scores,
Tarantulas prefer our tents
To sleeping out of doors.
We've learned the horned toad it but
A harmless little osf,
We're not bit too proud to fight,
But how we hate to loaf
In mapping in our shoes and hats
The scorpion persists,
And we did not enlist TO be
A bunch of naturalists.
We're not too proud to fight the foe
No matter when he comes,
But are ashamed to wait around
And loaf and twirl our thumbs.
While we are valeting for mules
And building fences here,
Some other fellows have the Jobs
We had for many year.
We're not too proud to fight-in fact
We'd glory in fray,
But we're too busy just to sit
And loaf our time away.
