GoodF fishermen
f. s. Miller and Party Near Experts
At Trout Fishing-Visit
Interesting Monument.

Frank s. Miller and sons, of Nunra,
returned last week from fishing
trip and outing in the south central
part of the state, and visit with the
l.. L. Roberts family. near La Veta.
He states that one afternoon they
caught SO trout, having found a place
where trout fishers had failed to
haunt.
Mr.. Miller visited the Capt. o. d.
Staplin monument in that vicinity
which is rather unique and historical
because of where it is located, and
how it happened to be there. The
monument sets on very high point
on a rock ledge. Capt. Stapffn carved
the grave for himself and wife sew
eral years before he died and erected
the monument which cost him be-
tween five and six thousand dollars.
He died in February, 1900, and his
wife died in April, 1906. Each of
the bodies were laid to rest in the
grave he had prepared for them. on
the ranch which he owned and on
which they lived for years. The site
of the grave and monument is near
the Spanish Peaks.

Baker, Optirnist
Fourteen Years Here Proves to Him
This Is Favorable Section
for Farmers.

Henry Baker is of the opinion that
this section of the country Is a favor
ed spot. He states that he has been
in this county fourteen years. and
during that time there have been two
threatened drouths and water short
ages. and on other occasions the mois-
ture was lacking, but that everything
came out fine.
"One year it was very dry in the
spring." said Mr.. Baker. 1--WE had
Just enough irrigation water to get
the beets up and that was about all.
There were no rains and we saw
utter failure for that season staring
US in the face, and farmers were
own-at-the-mouth,' SO to speak. But
we plunged along and did the best
we could with the abundance OF sun
shine and no mud to interfere with
work. But our scare was more fancy
than real for it started in raining
along about June 1. and water came
down in abundance. We had = river
run of twenty-one days Of water, per-
haps the longest river run in the his
tory of the Twin Lakes system. The
crops just doomed and even the first
cutting of alfalfa was good. The beets
made a good growth. and everything
went along nicely and when that
harvest had ended we had about the
best year we had ever had"
Mr.. Baker is of the opinion that
we are too esily frightened at the
chances for not having water in the
canal or rains on the land. He says
that the fourteen years he has been
here 1t all worked out 80 that those
feilures which sometimes faced one,
never came about and he thinks that
1t is the surest place in which to farm
there is in any country.
mot long ago." said Mr.. Baker
I'VE were sure that there would be
no second cutting of alfalfa which
would be worth the name, and that
beets were going to the bad. but take
! a look at It now. We are certainly
favored people, or in favored
section of the country.

KANS. WHEAT YIELDS SLUMP
FROM EARLY ESTIMATES

j. NJ. Johnson, of Box Springs, re-
turned the latter part of last week
from Kansas where he had been in
the wheat districts. He states that
the wheat yields were much smaller
than had been anticipated, in some
sections running but ha1r the esti-
mate of a month before harvest. The
cause was attributed to the lack of
moisture to fully mature the grain.

THE FAILURE OF
GOVERNMENT OPERATION

Washington, May 12th.-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through its
President Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
today gave out the following statement
from its Washington Headquarters:
"The failure government operation
OF railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines, or any other public utilities,
might easily have been foreseen by
anyone who would take the trouble to
consider the elemental influences ine-
vitality determining the outcome. It is
certainly automatic that centralized
power in an individual or commission
can only produce results commensurate
with the integrity, ability, experience
and unselfishness of the individual or
the members of the commission. II is
impossible that government operation
would place in control men of greater
ability and experience than were the
men who built up the enterprises under
private management. Neither is there
any reason to believe that government
operators will be more honest or less
selfish than private operators. Private
operation had the advantage Of the in
centive constantly offered by the hope
of the rewards of success. In govern
ment operation this incentive was prac-
tically lost.
Government operation necessitates
II the acts incident to government reg
ulation, and more. II, then, govern
ment regulation be failure, nothing
better can be expected from govern
ment operation. If government regu-
lation be success, there is no need for
government operation. Private opera
ton under government regulation re-
tains the advantage of individual init
alive and the stimulus of competition in
efficiency, while these are wanting in
government operation. By no line of
reasoning can one justify the expecta-
ton that government operation will at
tain the degree of success achieved by
private operation under proper govern
ment regulation.
Government operation has not only
been more costly and less efficient but
it has brought complaints of discrimina-
ton and Observation-Disclosures of in
equitable rates and injury to business.
1t has brought strikes and threats of
strikes, discomfort among employees,
antagonism toward the government,
wast6Gulness, depreciation, retrogres-
sion and DISCRIMINATION. All of which
was foreseen by men who know that an
appointment to government office does
not carry with it extraordinary ability,
intelligence, experience or integrity"
