treatment Of seed, but perhaps on
most farms the easiest way is TO put
the seed in a wagon box or on tho

Wells Welcomed
To Directorate

Silverton Standard
The addition of General Bulkeley
Wells to the board Of Denver & Rio
Grande Western railroad, announced
from New York last week, is well
come news to all mining men, and
those of Colorado in particular. Gem
eral Wells is also heavily interested
in irrigation and other Colorado en-
terprises. The addition of Colorado
business man to the directorate will
mean that some phases Of Colorado
industry that have suffered at the
hands of the railroads will at least
have an advocate who knows the coun-
try and its needs. Put more of the
same kind of men in control of our
public utilities and we will have a
vastly different business. history as a
result.

Mr. Baker, in his position as inspec-
ton board secretary, has had a con-
manding view of the cattle business
during the transactions of the past few
months. There have been many trans
fers of brands, due, he says, to the
changes in ownership of herds here

ever continue to be issued. showing
that the states greatest industry is
only momentarily tagged by the pro-
cesses of the times.
According TO Mr.. Baker. the brand
clerks have waited on many a stock

misunderstanding his assets entirely
over to the banks and biding his
time to make future stake and get
back in the game. "They are all COM
