Aspen People

of a settlement about nickel on the
dollar
I'VE would have to stand the expense
of changing the boundary lines and the
cost of changing our cOunty's name
from Pitkin TO Aspen would be II con
siderable figure when il is considered
that everything connected with the
county offices and government bearing
the word Pitkin would have to be re
placed by that bearing the word Aspen.
1--WE would have to assume that part
of the bonded and other valid indebted
ness of the county of Gunnison, AS bears
to that portion sought to be annexed,
according to the assessment rolls of
1916. !.
The same.apples to all and personal
property of Gunnison county in that
section. What county and precinct of
ficers may be in that district would be
on the pay roll until the next general
election and we would have to foot the
bill.
This bill also provides that" The
commissioners of Aspen county shall
appoint some person to make trans
cript of so much of said Gunnison coun-
ty as pertains to the territory embraced
in the county of Pitkin The per
son so appointed shall give the bond and
take oath of Office prescribed for county
recorders, and shall receive such reason
able compensation for his services as
may be agreed upon by the county com
missioners of Aspen county,
'And it would be enough, you may
depend on that. At guess the Demo
crat-Times would place the expense at
S25, 600 to perfect this ''swipe" propos-
ed by this bill how pending in the

Can we reasonably assume more
heavy liabilities on the chance that the
marble industry in that section will at
some time in the future be an asset of

already is regarded as marvellous
Liquidation of high class shares, notably
those formerly represented In the interna'

in stock market circles for time. but the
movement seemed to have run its course be-
fore the end of the week.
Heavinesss of numerous special stocks,
especially those comprehended in the list
Of public utilities was attributed to CON

of securities Labor problems also figuered
in the settack.
Steamship shares were at all times the
steadiest and came forward with rush in

KANSAS DEr1Es NATURES LAWS
Large Ears Of Corn Carry Two Varic-
ties of fhc Grain


Even the most carefully regulated
rules of nature seem to have been up-
set In Kansas this summer because
Cf the peculiar weather condit ous
which prevailed during the growing
season, when the long continued dry
spell OF June and July was followed
by an almost unprecedented period OF
rains.
Many Chase county farmers, who
ere beginning TO gather their corn
crop, are finding ears which appear TO
have two different varieties of corn
on them. Part of the ear viii be
filled with small. well-matured grains
and the balance viii have large,
plump grains which are hardly yet
hard. The reason for this is plain
when the season Is explained.
because of the dry weather during
the time the first grains were form
ing, all of the cob could not he filled
With corn. When the rains did come.
the corn took on new lite and the un-
filled part of the cob began growing
new grains. which. because OF moist
ure and ideal growing conditions, de-
Yeloped into large fine grains
Another thing which is probably
oven more unusual in the upsetting
CT natures rules has occurred In the
feterita crop, grown by number of
farmers here.
Feterita. being a very earl, crop 10
ripen. was the first grain crop In the
early sown fields. In some ~ these
fileds the most advanced heads We're
able to ripen before the drv w"a'

farmers, believing that crop should be
harvested, went ahead anu garnereu

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2s.-After opening
at lower levels last week, cotton advanced
to new high records for this contract market.
October touching csc a pound. The market,
however, fell off later. closing at net loss
for the. week Of to AZ points. At the high
eat active months were 46 to IS points over
the previous weeks final quotations.
The tendency to lower crop estimates to a
decided extent was the main bullist feature
OF the week. Several estimates OF growth,
which were under IL, SO, 600 bales appeared.
Weather conditions. on the whole were un-
favorable but the weather was not as great
an inwuence as during preceding weeks of
the fall.
Spot accounts were mainly favorable, but
did not reflect any great activity, holders
being too firm and buyers too inclined to
hold off to permit large business. This
week the trade will watch the spot markets
OF the interior very closely in order to
detect the first signs of any new develop
ments one way or the other.
The present ginning period ends Wednes-
day night and Immediately after 1t is proba-
Bile that private bureau estimates of the out
put will be heard and they are likely to
have an important bearing on the course OF
the market Thursday this market will be
closed owing to All Saints day being legal
holiday in Louisiana.
