Twenty Years Ago

Gunnison, December %, 1902.
Dear Mary
Just short letter to wish you all
. Happy New Year. Don't forget TO
make your resolutions.
Well, Christmas is over, and I, for
one, am glad. Holiday doings make
. lot Of work. And. yet, what dear
old anniversary Christmas day is.
Santa was very good TO me, but !
didn't get the little pig J. d. Miller 4
Bro. gave away, instead got Q tur-
key-one intended for someone else.
1t was all Jacks fault. He went to
the butcher shop with the little sealed
envelope and secured q big chunk Of
corned beef. When he started for
home he stopped into q store and laid
the package on the counter along side
somebody else's. guess he picked up
the wrong one, anyway we'll have q
turkey for New Year.
We did not have company this year.
but most everybody else did. /, or else
went some place to spend the holiday.
A. G. Teachout closed his Edgerton
eating house, and has gone to Grand
Junction to visit his brother.
Smith Whip and wife are home
okAAii AHOAi Su1C8kOs
hear that Mrs. /. w. Jennings
arrived from New Jersey this morn
ing and went on to Vulcan to see her
mother, Mrs. H. C. Tapscott, who is
very III.
Jack met Jerry O'Reagan the other
day. Jerry said he and wife enjoy
ed their Christmas dinner with Wilson
Moore and wife.
The children have gone skating this
afternoon. Frank Peck took over the
skating rink from Lee Clay last
week. The boy has been having
. grand time since so many Of his
friends are home from college for the
holidays. Joe Miller and John Risse
are going back Sunday to the Sacred
Heart College in Denver.
Guess I'll close now and hunt around
to see how many resolutions had
left over from last year that didn't
use: Saves making any new ones.
New Years greetings to you all.

A NEW YEARS CARD

(By Arthur Guiterman)
Now what is here,
A word of cheer
To herald in another year;
May all its days be free Of blame
A little nobler than your aim;
May all its labors be contest

And all the joys within its scope
A little brighter than your hope;
And may each year be found. whsn
past,
A little dearer than the last.

KENT PLANS RACE
FOR SEAT IN
SENATE
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April lois Hiram
Johnson a progressive or reaction
ary? Is he Independent and untram
melled, or is lie linked up with "the
interests.
These questions are being asked in
California today by supporters of for
mer Congressman William Kent. Kent
wants to succeed Johnson in the SEN
ate.
Kent S campaign rests very largely
upon the answers to the two questions
above. Kent g friends say johnson is
no longer progressive. They say John
son is not independent, but has drifted
into association with the "old gang
that used TO run California, "gang"
controlled by more or less predatory
interests.
Anybody who tackles Johnson in
California, where electing him to some-
thing has become q habit, must have
something startling to say. Therefore
Kcnt and his friends have picked on
the most startling thing they could
think Of. For anyone to say that John
son is not progressive, or that he loves
the interests, is about as surprising a
statement as could be made. And vet,
Kent s friends assert, they can show
by johnson $ record in the senate that
he is not as progressive rs he was, any
way. He is not progressive enough,
they claim, to deserve the support of
California progressives, who are the
prOgressiv-est folks there are.
just to prove that Kent is not TO
be classed with Johnson, he will not
contest with the senator for the re-
publican nomination. He will enter
the campaign by running as an indie
| pendent. He is strongly advocating a
great bond issue to enable California
| cities to combat the "power trust by
establishing and running their own
| plants, they say.
Foreseeing serious division Of
| strength among the regular republi-
cans and republican progressives, the
democrats are seriously considering
drafting former Senator Phelan. Phe-
Ian, now in Europe, liked senatorial
life. He would not be averse to coming
back to Washington, and if he saw
chance TO get there through break
in the ranks of the political enemy, he
probably would run, his friends here
are advised
Johnson, held in Washington by his
fight against the fsur-power Pacific
treaty, is fuming TO get back home and
exchange hammer-blows with his op-
ponents. He is chatting under what he
declares is a malicious campaign of
falsehood and Misrepresentation, and
the moment he can get away from
Washington he plans to go to the coast
and carry the fight to the enemy in
true johnson fashion. lie and his
friends, knowing his power over Cali.
fornia audiences and his tremendous
personal popularity, are confident that
when he does this, the fight viii be
quickly won.

The Worlds Greatest
Potato Specialist Visits
Mason Valley Ranches

| Eugene Grubb arrived in Yeringtor
| Saturday morning and was taken ovcl
the valley by County Agent Buchanan
a meeting OF potato growers was call.
ed at the George Friedhoff ranch
south OF town at 1880 p. III.
| Mr.. Grub took the growers out into
the field and pointed out to them
many serious defects in their culture
Of potatoes. Rlizoctonia was found
in abundance in all fields visited. This
was found in abundance in all the
fields visited This plant disease is
responsible for about SO per cent loss
i'll yield. Though this disease docs
SO much damage to the potato CROP
it is easily cradicatcd by treating seed
potatoes before planting with solu-
tion of bichloridc Of mercury at very
slight expense. Mr.. Batchclder las
treated his entire planting of 43 acres
this year.
| Briefly the culture method given by
| Mr.. Grubb is as follows:
Follow alfalfa for each crop. Dc
not pasture your third cutting but very
thoroughly disc it into the ground
early i'll the fall. Let the land lay
until spring when it should be thor
loughly disccd about the first of March
Follow this with narrowing abou,
every two weeks until planting time.
This frees the land of weeds, thus
leaving all plant food in the soil for
the potato crop.
If the ground is too dry at planting
time. irrigatc it, and as soon as pos
siblc disc and plant.
BE sure and plant whole seed that
has been grown for seed and not small
potatoes cullcd from a commercial
crop.
Immediately after planting start the
cultivation. Cultivate deeply at first
and close to the hill. Subsequent cul-
etivation should be frequent but should
become gradually more shallow and
more distant from the hills.
Killing of the crop should begin
when the potatoes are about six inches
high.
Irrigation practice is very import
ant. The potato can gather no food
from the soil until that food is in solu-
