THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN VOLUME XIl. A Remarkable Change. Until the advent of the first rail roa:l into that section four years ago, not many people were aware of the wonderfully productive soil and nat ural irigation facilities of the lower Rio Grande Valley near Brownsville, Texas. Lying in the ancient delta of the Rio Grande, these lands were formed by the accumulated silt of centuries, 15.t00 30 feet in depth, and equalled only by the far famed valley of the Nile. The climate is said to e one of the most delightful in the United States, dry and bracing, with an annual temperature of 73 degrees. Suaar cane, corn, alfalfa, melons and truck, and citrus fruits yield prolific ally and command high prices. Cal ifornia and Colorado settlers locating there predict that these lands will command prices equal to those of southern California within a few vears. On another page will be found an interesting announcement by the In diana Co-operative Canal Co.. of Brownsville, Texas, who lave just completed a large irrigation system near that point. A handsome descrip tive booklet containing numercus photogranhs taken on the ground will bFe mailed free to anyone addressing them. LOST One black bou d loose leaf field book, between Holly aud Fruit farm. Liberal reward to finder if returned to John Helquist, Holly Sugar Company. Farewell to Rev, and Mrs. Blom. A farewell reception was given by Rev. and Mrs. Chas.. H. Blom at their.homg, last’ Monday gvening,-and ‘4 goodly number of friends came la den with tokens of esteem for their beloved pastor, who departs shortly for the West, having been assigned to mission work. During the evening Mrs. A. H. Price sang “As Long as the World Rolls On,” which was much appre ciated and Mrs. C. H. Thatcher and H. R. Maltby sang a duet, which met with much favor. Rev. Blom was considered one of the most popular pastors Holly ever possessed, and no person can ever say that they were coerced into joining his church. Agreeable to a fault. Rev. Blom made friends by the score, who are loath to see him and his estimable wife" depart from our midst. The Chieftain joins the merry throng in wishing them Godspeed in their new home, and hopes that they will again come this way. Gone to Baca‘County. Mr. C. A, Pinkham and Mr. Ben Morris left last Sunday for a few days’ jaunt through Baca county, where they will sing the praises of Holly as a trading and residence point. They will also report to the Commercial club the condition of the roads over which they traversed. Mr. Ikelman is now serving his third term as president of the board of education, which speaks volumes for the ability of the man, and em phasizes his fitness for the office of commissioner more ‘than a column of culogy. Hon. Earl Cranston Spoke. Last Monday evening Earl Crans ton, ex-U. S. District ‘Attorney, spoke for the Republicans at the Opera house to a well pleased audience. Mr. Cranston was at his best, and the jibes he inflicted on the Bryan mule were like cannonades. He was fol lowed by Watt McHenry, an attor ney of promise, who also made an interesting talk. Mr. Wm. Gobin was the Tast speaker, who also ridi culed the theories ot Alr. Bryan. Holly Ice Plant Water delivered by the barrel Phone Black ¢2, Democratic Rally. The Democratic rally last evening at the Opera house was largely at tended and enthusiasm reigned with a glad hand. Senator Campbell of Pueblo spoke, and his remarks were «traight from the shoulder. Hon Frank J. McCarthy gave an able ad dress, receiving liberal arplause. Both were beard with some concern. Distinguished Visitors. Among the distinguished, visitors who visited the Chieftain office the past week were Governor Jess Mec- Donald, Hon. A. R. King, and Sena tor Campbell. Governor McDonald spent a day among the faithful, but made no public address. He tald the writer that he was confident that be would again hold the reins on Nov. 4 next, BE CAREFUL HOW YOU BALLOT The people of Colorado this year have the right to vote either for or against three constitutional ~mendments, and while these amendments are printed in at least one paper in every connty in the state, possibly ninty-five per cent of the voters will never take the trouble to read them. It is this indifference ofttimes, on the part of qualified electors that makes it possible for graft measures to obtain, and it is the duty of every man and woman who proposes to vote on November 3rd. next, to read the proposed three amendments to the state constitu tion, no matter of how little im- portance they may at first appear. “A sleeping people and wide awake polificians™ are tesporisible “for” much of the political woe of the country as a whole. Dr. K. C Sapero The Denver eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, will again be at Holly one day, Monday Nov. 9, at the Holly hotel.

Prepare a fluid by using powdered copperas and water, of which the quan tity need not be more than a spoonful of each, says Popular Mechanics. Clean the part to be etched and by warming it apply a thin layer of beeswax.

The Independent Party of IHolly formally launched their campaign last Tuesday at the Opera house. It promises to be a humdinger, as their motto is “No Boss Shall Rule this Town.” The past week Holly has been the mecea of the Democratic hosts, bring ing a surfeit of good cheer with them. The Pleasant Valley school is pro gressing nicely under the watchful cye of Miss Nellie Cain, Mr. L, I Matthews, the indefati gablie farmer with no limit when it conles to energy, is getting his fences and implements together again, which were wont to stray a bit since the ravages of the Arkansas, last week.

Graves was among the many visitors to Holly last Satur day. A THRILLING SGENE. At thé Holly hotel last Sunday waus cnacted a scene between two lovers and a fond mother, which beggars de seription for interesting sidelights, and may soon form a basis either for a romantic marriage or the terrors of an unrequited love affair, with death and destruction in its wake. The young man—a splendid fellow, who having met his affinity, bils home and friends farewell, to go to Califor nia to prepare an abiding place for himself and mate. The young woman—a perfect type, witha character as true as the needle to the pole—in tears endeavors toac company her betrothed, but he bids her wait until he can prepare a home in the Golden Gate. The mother—weeping with anguish and mother-love for her son, endeav ors to dissuade him from leaving the parental roof—but to no purpose. Then she pleads, caresses—aye, evern persuades—but the son is deaf to all entreaties and go he will. (the curtains of oblivion are now drawn upon a scene which was so heartrending that even the calloused reporter could not repress a tear. However, some time, some how, and in some manner the cpisode above narrated will have a sequel, and at that time the names of the trio re ferred to will be given to a captious public. Farm For Rent. The McPherson farm, adjoining Holly, under intense cultivation, con sisting of 160 acres, is for rent. This is a splendid opportunity for a re sponsible man, and will bear investi gation. A7or particulars apply to Holly ho tel. STRAYED One jet black yearling mare mule, last Saturday, from range on on Cheyenne creck near state line Five dollars reward will be paid tor information leading to its re covery, Mrs. L. B, Canfield.

THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN .HOLLY. COLORADO Hew Blind Children Are Trained. In the New York state school for the blind at Batavia, some of the best work for the blind is being accom plished. It s, in fact, becoming standard school, and is showing re markable results as to what can .be done in the way of bodily improve ment-from carefully studied physical training, says the Craftsman. It is making self-rellance a most valued possession of children who would other wise go through life trembling with fear and with outstretched hands to ward off peril. The physicial culture work at Batavia is divided into eight clasgses: kindergarten, primary boys and primary girls, intermediate boys and intermediate girls, junior boys, senior boys and senior girls. Children in the kindergarien are tralned by marching and simple exercises with musical dumbbells, They graduate to rings and wand exercises in the pri mary classes and attain to barbells in the junior year. In the senior classes boys are exercised with dumbbells and chest weights and by running and military marches. The senior girls use dumbbells, barbells’ and Indian clubs, and are also trained in marches. Work is given outside of the regular hours to those whose {interests or needs are greater. 2 Exiles No Longer. In the numerous articles appearing from time to time on the progress of the home cure of tuberculogis nearly all the emphasis {8 made upon the purely scientific side—upon the won ders of modern medicine, of modern experiments and modern achieve ments. And that the scientific strides in the treatment of tuberculcsis are little short of marvelous, says the- Louisville Courier-Journal, i 8 not to be denfed. It Is greatly to the credit of the medical profession that it has dem onstrated in the abstract the curabili ty of the disease, and then in the con crete has wrought the cure at the patient’s own home. But there is the sentimental, the mental, the “heart” side of the revolution which, while spoken of little, is not its least impor tant aspect. Under the home treat ment it is no ‘longer necessary to make exiles of loved ones—to banish the tuberculosis patients to the dis tant lands of the west, there to while away their hours in Isolation, home sickness, introspection and dread. Iy T Holland for some unaccountable rea son is putting off the spanking of Castro, although for some time past it has had an official permit from the na tions of the earth and several generous ofters to hold its coat. Castro must bear a charmed life. For one who has been threatened with terrible lickings for so many years he certainly looks healthy and robust and gogd for many happy returns of the ultimatums. Many schemes are being put forward for the securing of universal peace, but Castro has them all beaten. He has tried his and it works. Just what it I 8 no one seems to know, but cer tainly it is fine medicine for the ward fng off of an impending war. Perhaps be is guarding the secret jealously un til such time as he can bottle the dope and put it on the markets of the world. From Winnipeg comes news of the death of Louis Riel, the only son of the leader of the Red river rebellion in western Canada, which first brought Lord Wolseley into promi nence, and made him Sir Garnet. On the approach of Col. Wolseley, Riel fled across’the border into the United States, where he remained for some years. Returning to Canada he was elected a member of the house of com mons, but in 1885 he again headed an armed insurrection, and this time he was captured, tried for treason, con victed and hanged. His son Louis, who has just passed away, was only 36, and was employed as an engineer on the Grand Trunk Pacific railway. Modern brick buildings of ten and twelve stories are being taken down and replaced by steel frame structures of greater height on Broadway, New York. While the foundations of the original skyscrapers are strong enough to sustain additions above them, there {8 enough saving of space in the new plan of thinner walls to make the change profitable. The estimated cost of the Roosevelt dam, which' is part of the Salt river ir rigation scheme, has been cut down by $1,000,000 by the establishment of a government cement mill on the spot. DENVER GREETS NATION'SW.C.T.U. THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVEN. TION OPENS ITB SESSION IN THE AUDITORIUM. SPEECHES BY GOVERNOR, MAY OR, MINISTER, TEACHER, CLUB WOMAN, W, C.T. U. LEADERS. Denver.—The thirty-fifth annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union was for mally greeted on “Welcome Night” Friday, at the Auditorium. For the state of Colorado, Gov. Hen ry A. Buchtel told the “white ribbon ers” of the “Welcome and Mizpah” placed above the gates of Denver. But that did not express all of his wel come. He said: “As advocates of temperance you stand for the best and highest things in the land. Your program is to make sober nation. This is also the pro gram of the Christian church and statesmanship. It is particularly so where the people are sovereign.” No less enthusiastic was the ad dress of Mayor Robert W. Speer, who has been instrumental in getting the Auditorium in readiness for the con vention. 7 “Strangers are always welcome here, because it was only a short time ago when we were all strangers,” said Mayor Bpeer. “In Colorado we are the mingling of the best blood from everywhere. Evils that cannot be abolished must be regulated and con trolled and your organization is a mov ing factor in that direction. Love and kindness are better for the masses than the club of the policeman and the jail. Women are naturally better than men and for that reason they are tak ing the lead in this great work. It is welcome as you enter Denver and Miz pah as you depart.” In the enforced absence of Dr. George Bedell Vosburgh, Rev. B. B. Tyler, pastor of the Broadway Chris tian church, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the churches of Denver. “I welcome you,” he said, “in behalf of my brothers and sisters because you are our kin ‘people. You are our sisters, daughters, mothers, wives and sweethearts and you are thrice wel come. We welcome you because you are following the flag. No one doubts but that the W. C. T. U. 1s on the right side and I am speaking for the brewers, saloon men and distillers. You are welcomed because you know how to do things and we are learning statesmansh:p and business from YOII.” PR “Education and the cause of tem perance walk hand in hand,” said Dr. Charles E. Chadsey, superintendent of the public schools, “Your aims are the same as those of the schools. The schools are in sympathy with you and they endeavor to teach the children of the evils you are combating.” Mrs. Hafry Landon Hollister, presi dent of the Colorado Federation of Women’s Clubsg, spoke of the united interests of the two great organiza tions in Colorado, the women’s clubs and the W, C. T, U. “We are work ing along the same lines,” said Mrs. Hollister. “Every woman with a white ribbon on her breast stands for cleaner poli tics and protected homes,” said Mrs. Antoinette A, Hawley, honorary presi dexzt of the Colorado W. C. T. U. “It is the will to do things that has brought this great body the power to do them. We are relying on your strength and fire to make the water boil in Colorado. You are the ‘do things’ women from all parts of the greatest nation in the world.” Responsive addresses were made by Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, Mississippi; Mrs. M. M. Allen, New York; Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger, Indiana; Mrs. Net tle P. Hershiser, Nevada, and Mrs. Silena Moore Holman, Tennessee. “The solid South is going dry,” said Mrs. Kells, and. based her ad dress on the work being done by the W. C. T. U. in the southern states. “Women n'ust not allow physicians to preseribe ‘alcohol for their patients,” sald Mrs. Allen, who is superintend ent of medical temperance. “It was the greatest welcome night in the history of our national con ventions,” sald Mrs. Lilllan M. N. Stevens, president, at the close of the night session. At the business sessions in the fore noon and af‘ernoon, Mrs. Stevens de livered her annual message and vari ous reports were read. Mrs. Stevens estimates that the prohibition states now have a population close to 13- 000,000 of people and an area of 407, 602 square nnles. In addition to this, 30,000,000 of people are living in sa loonless territory, gained through lo cal option, the four-mile law, the re monstrances and excise laws. The report of the acting treasurer, Mrs. Susanna M. D. Fry, in the after noon, showed a balance in the treasury of $8,697.69. The total reeeipts for the year were $75,594.15, including $28,141.99 from the Union Signal and Crusader, the two natlonfi.l papers, and bequests of $1,052.90. isbursements ‘were $66,996.46. coLoRADo ITEMS Work' has been commenced on the new armory at Brush. It will be 46x90 feet in size. The grand Jodge of Odd Fellows at Greeley voted.to hold its next annual session at Pueblo. The Rev. M, B. Williams of Chicago, noted evangelist, is to head a four weeks serfes of revival meetings in Deanver. The sample ballots for Weld county for the genmeral election have been prepared in the English, Swedish, Rus sian, Spanish and Italian languages. On the 21st fnst., for the first time in the history of Pueblo, there was not case of contagion rcgistered with the board of health, nor was there a case in quarantine. The Denver district of the Pullman car service §s mow under the superin tendence of F, L. Wood, recently ap pointed and transferred from the Cin cinnati district. According to Prof. C. E. Chadsey, city superintendent of schools in Den ver, it is necessary for Denver, in or der to keep pace with the growth of school populatiom, to spend about $1,000,000. every ‘tive years for school buildings. Florian Cajorl, head professor of mathematics in Colorado college, and dean of the engineering school, has ‘reconsidered his decision made last term that he would resign as dean of ‘the school, and will again take up his work. The Kansas-Colorado Electric Rall road Company Friday commenced con demnation proceedings against eighty {our property owners in Pueblo county to complete its right of way. The ‘court issued an order giving the road immediate possession. The Colorado State Prison Assocla ‘tion is prepaPing statistics to be used in support of a bill permitting adult first offenders to be paroled by the courts in cases where such action seems desirable. Good results have followed this practice elsewhere. While attempting to repair electric wires which had broken down under the heavy snows of Saturday night, J. J. McCloskey, bookkeeper and office man of the Northern Colorado Power Company i Loulsville was instantly killed Sunday morning by touching a lve wire. iitiien Stricken ruddenly with pneumonia, Capt. John I, Armit, for many years a prominent attorney and social leader -of Colorado Bprings, died in a Butte, ‘Montana, hospital on the 22nd inst, ‘after only a few. days’ illness. For the past year Captain Armit had been manager of the Montana Consolidated Mines Company, one of the big copper producers of that state. In notices sent arotnd to nearly ev ery business man in Denver, Secret Service Agent Goddard warns all against two men who are reported to be examining cash drawers under pre tense of belonging to the secret ser vice. The men have been caught, it is sald, in the act of removing money several times, but have each time es caped. 5 .Denver will have venison for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s feasts, judging from the num ber of storage permits being taken out in the office of the state game and fish commission. Over 200 permits have already been issued and many hundred deer are being stored in the cold storage rooms of various ice companies 1 this city. Without exception the bids sub mited to the county commissioners of Pueblo county for the erection of the new court house exceeded the esti mates of both architects and the board. Five bids were presented, the lowest being that of Frank Taylor of Pueblo, i $448,308, Taylor contracts to use Tur 'key Creek stone and to complete the ‘structure within two years. Charles H. McGuire, engineer at the ‘Denver mint, stood highest in the ex amination given by the United States civil service commission to applicants for the position of inspector of me chanical and electrical engineering in the supervising architeot’s office in Washington. He has been ordered to report at Washington to assume the position. A. B. Williams, a blacksmith work ing for the Stratton-Granite company, sixteen miles north of Salida, was evi dently a victim of the heavy. snow storm that raged in that vicinity Sun day. He was last seen at the camp of the company and his frozen body was found beside the trail a short distance from the cabin. He had a brother in Aspen and a sister in Den ver. Three contracting firms have filed suit against the Denver, Laramle Northwestern railroad, the Utah Con struction Company and William Crook and James Orman, ‘alleging that they were not pald for their work and ask ing a lien against the property of the couapany. The suits were filed in the District Court by Fred Olson Co., for $2,928.48; Fd. Hudson &.Co., for $l and Charles Eakin Co. for $10,370.45. SUICIDE ENDS SOLDIER'S LIFE COLONEL FREDERICK W. GROSS SHOOTS HIMSELF AT ROOM ING HOUSE IN DENVER. FAMILY TROUBLE AND DISSIPA TION LEAD TO DIVORCE AND DEATH. Denver.—Suicide culminated a week of wild carousal brought on by the di vorce of his wife for Colonel Frederick W. Gross Saturday afternoon, when he shot himself through the head in the Mistletoe rooming house, 1502 Cleve land place. Since his wife obtained a divorce three weeks ago, the officer who distinguished himself for valor during the Spanish war, is said to have taken the path which ended in self de struction. Since the Cripple Creek troubles, at which time Gross served as assistant paymaster with the rank of colonel, when he became involved in difficulty regarding certain funds wiich has nev er been satisfactorily adjusted, it is sald that he has seen trouble in many directions. The history of C..onel Gross is one of bravery and chivalry until domestic troubles caused his wife to obtain a divorce. He first came into the notice of the public during the first year of the Spanish-American war. He enlist ed as a non-commissioned officer with Company B of the first Colorado volun teers. The young soldier early dis tinguished himself for his bravery on the field. It is said of him that he was always more thoughtful of his men than of himself, and underwent any number of privations for the sake of them. His worth was soon recognized and he was made a commissioned of ficer with the rank of second lieuten ant. He served throughout the war and returned with the gallant volun teers to his native state. Upon his return in 1900 he married Miss Gertrude Baines, a Denver girl, whose affection he had won not alone through his merit as a man but his worthy recotd as a soldier. With the outbreak of trouble during the strike in Cripple Creek Lieutenant Gross en listed with the National Guard. He was made assistant paymaster. After the strike trouble arose re garding the disposition of funds which Gross and his associates had made in their official capacity. During the tur bulent times Gross was a figure in the Chase courtmartial and was men tioned as a successor to General Sher man Bell. In 1906, Gross obtalned work as as sistant superintendent of collections for the telephone company under his cousin, George Gross, head of the de partment. Early in the month of Sep tember, Gross is said to have been dis charged. Soon after, and, it is said, as a direct result, his wife sued for ad% vorce. The case came up in Judge Bliss’ division of thc District Court about three weeks ago. The divorce was obtained with the, provision of a monthly alimony of SSO. Colorado Football Games.

CONSIDERABLE CAPITAL ISB RE QUIRED TO PROVIDE NECES SARY TEAMS AND TOOLS. From Stratton, in Kit Carson coun ty, Colorado, comes the following ques tion to the Colorado Agricultural Col- lege: “The problem of making homes on the plains of eastern Colorado is con fronting many settlers now. For the past two years corn and small grain 'have been total failures, in places, and a partial failure all over this re gion. The great influx of homestead ers came two years ago, just as the poor seasons began, being drawn to the country by the good erops of some six or seven preceding seasons. Now, a large number oi them are leaving. “No doubt some of your faculty have studied the conditions in this part of the state and will be able to answer the following questions: “A man comes onto a homestead in Kit Carson county with an ordinary sized family and SI,OOO. Suppose he has nothing but the raw quarter and this money. How should he use the money and what crops should he raise? What should he do if he had $2,000?” The foregoing inquiry is answered by H. M. Cottrell as follows: Most of the settlers on the dry lands of eastern Colorado in the past two years came with the idea of growing grain only. Many boasted that they did not even keep a cow for milk. Exclusive grain growing in dry land farming has been a failure wherever tried—in Kansas, Nebraska, Minne ‘sota and the Dakotas—during the past thirty years. The farmers who have insisted on ‘following this system in eastern Colorado have made the inev {table failure which was bound to come from their disregard gf the experiences of tens of thousands of farmers who had worked under similar conditions. Dairying and poultry raising are the profitable lines to follow in dry land farming where capital is limited. Both glve quick and regular cash incomes. The surest dry land crops—milo maize, Kaffir corn, sorghum, corn fodder, millet and hays from wheat, barley and oats—make protit:ble dairy feeds. Last year Colorado shipped in from the dry lands of Kansas and Nebraska dairy products to the amount of $5, 000,000, and poultry and eggs to the amount of $3,000,000. All of which could and should have been produced in eastern Colorado. The writer spent twenty-five years on dry land farms and he would not attempt to settle on a dry land farm with a capital of only SI,OOO. Many men have finally been successful, starting with even less capital, but they had to go through hardships which no man has a right to ask these days of his wife and children. I would put the money into teams and tools and rent an irrigated farm until I had made another SI,OOO. Dry land farming requires constant, thorough tillage, A large per cent. of the dry land farmers fail through too little horse power. The first invest ment should be in at least three good, heavy horses; five would be safer. After the necessary horses, imple ments and harness are secured, to gether with seed and feed, dairy cows and laying hens should be purchased. Last vear on a 320-acre dry land farm, Burke Potter received from twenty-two dairy cows, $1,550. A range cow of the dairy type, properly handled, will produce from S3O to SSO worth of cream in a year. With the forage crops listed above, raised un der thorough tillage, ten cows can be kept on 160 acres in a dry year. This will give an annual cash fncome of from S3OO to SSOO from the cows alone. The Colérado Agricultural College has found that in widely different sec tions of the state, skilled poultrymen are making 2 met profit of $2 per hen a year above cost of feed. Four hun dred hens can be kept on a 160-acre farm. The dairy cows and the hens will furnish a' comfortable income and en able the farmer to pay cash for all his family purchases, no matter how dry the -year. i Then the dry land farmer should seed as much land to wheat as he is able to prepare thoroughly with in tensive tillage, and when he raises a crop, the money from it will be sur- Plus cash not needed to pay debts nor to buy household supplies.

A BRIEF RESUME; Of the Nominees on the Democratic Ticket and What They Stand For With independence in the air the length and breadth of this civilized land the “eternual fitness of things™ applied to candidates for political office was never more apropos than at the present writing, and mrarrow partisan politics promises to cut less figure than ever before in the selection of county officers so that a brief mention of the most avail able ones is here given JOHN T. ADKINS For Treasurer Mr. JohnT. Adkins, the present guardian of the countys strong box, is considered by the knowing ones to be a sure thing for re election,-he having given the office thit scratiny which the people both admire and respect GEO. J. IKELMAN and C. B. RAY For Commissioners The presence of thorough bus iness men on the board of county commissioners is absolutely essen tinl to the proper conduct of the county's aftairs, and the election of Mr. George J. Lkeiman and Mr, C. B. nay tor those positions is meeting with the people’s acclaim in every nook and hamlet in Prow ers county’ 1t is predicted that they will run far and away ahead of their ticket. HENRY SYP For Clerk and Recorder Mr, Syp is one of the pioneers of Prowers county and nceis no introduction at our hands. Suffice it to say that,a vote for Henry Syp for county clerk 1s a vote for good government and in his bands the great books of Prowers county will-be in safe keeping. MRS. CORA FOLHEMUS For Supt. of Schools it is a well known fact that the superintendent of schools of a county stands as sponsor for our children, so that it behooves us to place in office only those who, by wide experieuce, are fitted to prop erly care for them. And such a persoun is Mrs. Cora Polhemus, who formerly taught in Lamar. W. P. FERGUSON For County Judge In the person of Mr. W. P. Fer guson the Democrats have nomi nated a man of sterling intergrity. whose statesmanlike qualities and magnetic presence would entitle him to a seat in Parliament. Mr. Ferguson is known to be a hale fellow well met and a good mixer. J. B. TRAXLER For District Attorney The district attorneyship of a County is a most important office, and in' Mr. J. B. Traxler the party has put up an able attorney, whose every interest is the people’s in terest, first, last and all time. JOHN B. RUSSELL For Sheriff As a fearless officer the present marshal of Lamar, John B. Rus sell, has a wide reputation and would doubtless make an excellent sheriff. J.T. LAWLESS] For Representative Last but not least in Prowers county’s galaxy is Joe Lawless who is making an interesting race for the legislature. Mr. Lawless is a printer and newspaper man of the old school whose presence in the legislative body at Denver would retlect admirably on the judge ment of the people of Prowers county.

POLHEMUS Democratic Nominee for County Saperiatendent of Schools Prominent educators all over the country say that this office should be eliminated from the quagmire of party politics and given to an experienced teacher who not alone bas a thorongh university training, but is mindful of the pupil’s every interest throughout the school day. Such a person is Mrs. Cora K. Polhemus, formerly principal of Amity schools, where her work was, highly commended by pupil and parent alike, and has since her marriage substituted in the Lamar schools for the various 7th and Sth grade teachers. always with the greatest success. Mrs. Polbemus has steadfastly kept up with the progressive up-to-date teachers, and has been engaged in active school work for upwards of 20 years. Mrs. Polhemus had received a common school education in Oskaloasa, lowa, afterward com ing out of Campbell university, at Holton, Kiuaas. with high honors, The fumily then moved to Jackson County, Kansas, where Mrs. Polhemus (then Miss Doug lass) taught for fifteen consecutive years in the public schools, finally being appointed superintendent of Jackson County schools, to fill a vacancy, A vote for Mrs. Polhemus is a vote for progress in the pub lic schools of F'rowers County.

Booster is prob ably one of the most intéresting men of the age and it was a fortunate day for Colorado'when he travelled West. In appearance Mr. Booster is built on a large plan, reminding one a lit tle of Taft. He has a loud cheerful laugh, a cordial handshake and he fairly radiates enthusiasm. When Booster is for a thing—his opponent might as well give up. That is the reason why he has met with such re markable success.” His cnemies call him a “hot air merchant”—but his kind of hot air runs a steam engine. es right from the depot to the Al bany. It doesn't make any difference Booster has settled himself on what was once a hotel on 17th street, Although the place still retains the name “The Albany”—it is now Boos ter's own home. Booster himself is a regular human “Welcome”—and anybody who is a friend of his rush what time of day or night it is the traveller can begin business at Boos ter's. His interest is Booster's inter est. His scheme is Booster’s scheme. and beforc he has half unfolded it, the thing is as good as accomplished. “Good” says Booster, slapping him on the back. Then he hears the real Booster laugh and if he has doubted it for a sccond, he regains his belief in himself and his success. Just be cause everybody’s business is Boos ter's business, there is more going on at his place-—The Albany—than there is any place clse in the state. There is-not a part of Colorado that isn't l}c(']ing the influence of RBooster Booster is as necessary to business as the Colorado sun to the climate. i He is the “Man Behind"—the for gotten man sometimes perhaps, hm‘ the man that does the work.

This is particularly noticeable in the urinary and perspiratory glands.—J. D, Graham. Not Suitable For Alfalfa. Any 6eld likely to be under water or the soil saturated with water at any time for more than thirty-six hours at a time is quite unsuitable for alfalfa.

This is a letter from a woman now, asking me if a little age lie will illegitimate her marriage. She says she is thir ty-six, and her fiance thinks her twenty-nine. She wants naturally to maintain the illusion. 1 get such letters every week. I reply, if stamps are inclosed, that there is no law against these lies. After all, they do no harm, do they? Yes?

Moreover, if he is in the cavalry he must have a horse which will take a river as easily as a hunter takes a fence. Swimming maneuvers are rart of the regular drill there. Col apsible canvas boats manned b{ a few oarsmen lead the horses so that they do not attempt to land om stone quays and other difficult points. The men swim across with their horses and on them. They do it in swimming costume and in all the accouterments of war. There are few nautical emergencies in which the Dutch army is not pre pared. Some of the efficers have even reached a degree of proficiency that not only their horses and kit cross the river with them, but their pet dogs sit upon their shoulders and are borne over almost without getting wet.—Stray Stories.

AFTER THE BALL. Califernia’s Firet Clearing House Wee Net Financial One. The meaning of the term “clear -3 house” may not perhaps be fa iar to all people outside of bank mg:nd commercial circles. An in ident which occurred during our civil war may give a clear though homely ides of what a clearing house is. The occasion was in 1864, when the citizens of San Francisco gave the famous “Russian ball” to the of l ficers of the Russian fleet of war ships in San Francisco’s harbor, which had been eent to the federal vernment by the emperor of Rus ia to the assistance of the northern states in that war. That ball was the most brilliant affair of its kind that has ever taken place in California. It was attend ed by the governor and all the state and municipal officers, the members of the supreme and superior courts, all the foreign consuls and the offi cers of the army and navy within reach of San Francisco, besides mn{v of the old and wealthy Span ish families from southern Califor nis, all handsomely dressed and re fiendent in diamond ornaments. e large hall was splendidly dec orated with Russian and American flags intwined. The flags of the for eign consuls and lines of cages of singing canary birds were hung around the gallery. A military band and a string band supplied the music. On the stage of the hall were stacks of arms and accouter ments of war, while the rich dresses of the ladies and the uniforms of the officers of the navy and army, together with the grand official re fdi‘ of the foreign consuls, made t a scene of splendor and a wonder and delight to the Russian sailors. After the supper, which was serv ed in keeping with the rest of the ball, the Russian.officers, the con suls and many of the guests of hon or retired, but “the dance went on.” Soon afterward it was seen that the waiters in the hat room had become confused in their deliveries, and gentlemen, finding their hat checks useless, were obliged to go inside and search for themselves, which resulted in eoon covering the floor with articles of clothing?from which each man took that which fitted him best and went home.

INDPEPENDENCE PARTY LAUNCHED Last Tuosday evening, amid much enth sm, the Indepeud ence Party of Holly was launched at Jones’ Opera bouse, before a large audience of representative people. Attorney Clyde Davis was elected chairman, and in ringing tones stated the purport of the meeting. and the audience became demonstrative at once. He iotro duced Mr. John Duncan, who in a set speech declared that Holly was ready for an Independent ticket. composed of men other than politi cians, who had the interests of the community at heart and who would g ve the town a government independent .of petty pariisan politics. Ng gconer had this last sentence been uttered than the ap plause became deafening. Mr. Duncan while not an orator. is a most forcible speaker and had a message for his auditors that car ried truth and conviction with it. Dr. R. P. Waltou was the next speaker. and his theme was also independence. The gist of his re marks was that no hoss shall rule this town. He spoke in no uncer tain tones of the importance of an independent government for Holly, and compared our citizens with the Pilgrim Pathers who landed in the Mavflower a few hundred years ago. “Their object was also inde pendence,” he said. which was greeted with vociferous applause. It was the plain duty of every cit izen,. he declared, to work and vote for the independent candidate for justice of the peace at the forth coming election, to the end that the vote may be used as a basis for fu. ture tickets of the same brand. Messrs. Fred Brownlee, A. B. Martin and Ray Appel also spoke in the same tenor, urging all within their hearing to support the inde pendent candidate for justice of the peace. L. N. Zu‘linger. Nore—A smoldering sentiment favoring a brusiness man’s govern ment in lolly has at last kindled into flame. and the new Independ ence Party liunched last Tuesday may become a power here at no late date. That car of buggies has arrived at last. Come in and see them. They are certainly bon tons in style and finish, and the quality is simply superb. Now if you have the least idea of ever invest ing in a buggy, come in and look them over. The price is right also. C. A. PINKHAM Next to Bank THE ELECTION The result of the general el ction next Tuesday is looked forward to with much concern, and before another issue of The Chieftain goes to press the result will be heralded to every nook and hamlet in this broad land. The people of Prowers county are vitally interested in the out come, as well they may be; but the same aphorism applies here as elsewhere— that the people get what they order on election day, ‘and must abide the consequences. While the local field is somewhat turbulent at this writing, we be lieve the people will use their best judgement in using their franchise, to the end that they will have nothing to regret on November 4th next.

HORTICULTURE PLAN FOR ROSE GARDEN. A Suggesticn for the Women Folks for Next Scason. The simple design shewn in our il lustration is the suggested plan for rose garden 60 feet square. It con tains one large oval bed in the center, four beds of triangular outline, and one long, narrow border at the rear of the plot. The large oval in the center should be devoted to Hybrid Remon tant, or June roses, and of these the following varieties are all excellent: Anna de Diesbach, dark pink; Frau Karl Druschki, one of the very finest whites; Gen. Jacqueminot, well known to almost everyone; Magna Charta, Mrs. John Laing, both good pinks; Paul Neyron, one of the largzest roses; Ulrich Brunner and Fisher Holmes, light and dark reds. This list may be ‘greatly increased as desired. In the ‘triangular beds it would bLe well to SR T s e—— ENTRANCE Plan of the Rose Garden. plant largely of the Hybrid Tea class, and also those known as ever-bloom ing roses. Of-the Hybrid Teas the following are all fine: Killarney, Captain Christy, Caroline Testout, Grus and Teplitz, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, La France and Souvenir du President Carnot. The everblooming roses include a large number of vari etles, from which it is difficult to se lect a brief list, but the following are good: KEtoile de Lyon, Marie Van Houtte, Maman Cochet, FFranz Deegen, Papa Gontier, Hermosa Clothilde Soupert and Souvenir de la Malmai son. At the back of the long bed, suggests the Rural New Yorker, at the rear of the garden, a wire trellis could be placed, and on this some roses of the Rambler type could be trained, some of the best of this type being Philadelphia Rambler, Ruby Queen, Dorothy Perkins and Lady Gay. In front of the Ramblers the Hybrid China rose, Madame Plan tier, and also some of the lovely Moss roses could find a place. This list could be extended almost indefinitely, but all varieties do not grow with tho same freedom, and the few mentioned may be considered among the stand ard sorts. The number of plants to be used in such a garden would be from 600 to 750, according to the di mensions of the beds and the close ness with which they were planted. If the surroundings permit it, the fences or boundaries of the rose garden could be covered with the various Rambler roses, and the long bed used for other varieties. Keeping Trellis Wires Taut. Some people have a great deal of trouble in protecting their vines from the ravages of wind in the fall and an effective method of keeping trellis wires tight has been suggested. First, bore holes through post and wrap ends of the wires around hardwood blocks that are square on one end and rounded where they come against the post. This method of trellis stretch ing has been found many to be very effective in maintaining the good con dition of the vines all the year round. THE ORCHARD. Orchardists should pay more atten tion to their blackcap raspberry crops. This berry is growing very scarce of late, probably from neglect. Such a plantation will steadily increase in value. The apple growers of Oregon and Washington often ship their products several thousand miles and apparently make good profits. In view of this fact it is astonishing why the average west ern farmer cannot make his orchard pay. Perhaps it is the thought and care put into each package of fruit that tells the tale. It is generally the case where onions have been left to go to seed the seeds will soon sprout up freely on that ground. Very often they come up in a manner and so thick that they are a weed pest and may be killed by stir ring the ground with cultivator, wheel hoe or common hand hoe. When onions thus come from seed in the field they are go:ner;ll? worse directly over the old rows and are a serious menace to the production of the best onions especially when the Welsh onions Wre the crop. FALL CULTIVATION OF ORCHARD. Care Must Be Taken Lest It Prove In jurious to Trees. Fall cultivation of orchards is some times injurious and sometimes not. The effects depend on seveial condi tions. Fall cultivation in orchards has been objected to, because it is re puted to start a fall growth of wood that does not have time to harden be fore the time of the final stoppage of growth. That leaves a lot of soft wood to go into winter in a shape un fitted to stand the ~old. tl is only the cualtivation of early fall that injures tree, in this way, says Farmers’ Review. After the leaves get old and get ready i~ fall, cultivation cannot start a new gz:owth. This effect can only take place if the cultivation is early enough to furnish an abundant food supply at the time the leaves are very active in elaborat ing food for the development of wood. We do not believe that fall cultiva tion is desirable in most of our north ern latitudes, even when the cultiva tion is given so late that it cannot possibly start a new growth ofewood. The cultivation stirs up the soil and permits the frost to go deeper than it otherwise would. If the winter chance to be a cold one, with little snow, frost will strike so deep that the roots will be frozen, and this may result in the destruction of the trees. The harder and firmer the ground, the less is the depth that the frost will be able to penetrate. PREPARE THE SOIL. Doing Fall Plowing for Spring Setting of Trees. Land far apple orchards must be well prepared, if the orchards are to be given a chance to make satisfac tory growth. Where trees are to be set in the spring, the land should be prepared as far as possible this fall. Deep plowing will stir up the soil to a considerable depth, and this is nec essary in the case of apple trees that should be given a chance to root deep. The land should also be heavily manured this fall, at time of plowing, that the manure may have a chance to rot before being drawn upon by the roots of the trees, says the Farm ers’ Review. If the land is plowed early in the fall it can be cross-plowed late in the fall and thus the sod be thoroughly pulverized. This will in deed allow some leaching, but we must look for some drawback with every condition. We can stand a little leach ing better than we can put trees into newly turned ground. It is the universal experience of orchardists that most orchard land is not prepared as well beforehand as it should be. This advanced prepara tion is necessary because when the trees are once set the soil around the roots must not again he disturbed. In the case of most farm crops the land can be turned up every year and fer tility worked in, but this is not the case with orchard trees. A HANDY FRUIT LADDER. Made by Splitting a Basswood Pole and Putting in Rungs. Here s a fruit ladder that is more convenient than the ordinary style. A round stick of basswood about 20 feet long is sawed in two to within one foot of the small end, where an iron ring, a, is welded on to pre vent splitting. Holes are bored and the rungs put in, spread- ’ing the pole apart. They may be in serted on the side and nailed solid. Leave a foot of the small end of pole not sawed, explains Farm and Home, and thus the ladder may be put in any position in a tree without the top end becoming entangled in the limbs ‘and twigs. elli VS o Lil SAVING ORCHARDS FROM SCALE. Old Orchards Can Be Preserved from Attack of Pest. Investigations carried on at the New York experiment station at Geneva convince the authorities that old or chards can be preserved from at tacks of the San Jose scale. In bul letin 296 the investigators assert: Of the various sprays that have been tested, the sulphur wash and the home-made oil emulsions have, on the basis of efficiency, economy and safety to the trees, proven the most satisfac tory remedies. Of the two, the oil emulsions have generally been some what more efficient than the sulphur wash in the treatment of old apple trees, and excellent resglts have been obtained with a light treatment of the emulsion on trees previously sprayed with the lime-sulphur wash, to reach the scales or the young wood. Either of these sprays singly or the emulsion supplementing an applica tion of the sulphur wash, if thoroughly applied, can be depended on to coatrol the scale. Save Steps and Labor in the Household R TR R TR SR NG NN W SN NN NP WA N SN NP There are many so-called luxuries that are real'v necessaries. All labor saving devices are among them. For example, there is a ciever contrivance for keeping eggs hot for those who are in the habit of straggling to the break: fast table one by one. There is alsc a potato slicer that turns with a crank and has the potato in thin, even slices in less time than it takes ta cut a quarter of it in the old way, not to mention a baker, with an elec trical attachment by which to gauge the heat and turn the spit upon which the meat is revolved. This has a very complicated sound, but {is simple enough and tremendously satisfactory A new lemon-squeezer works like an olive pitter, and then there is the olive ‘pitter itself, which whisks the stone out in short order. Of flour sifters there is no end, but the most appealing of them all seems to be one consisting of a cubical box, poised just above the bottom of the flour pan, which with pressure on a button, lifts the flour into a measuring cup and turng it out. A long-handled brush and dust cloth combined makes a convenient imple ment for washing windows and clean ing ceilings and cornices, and a carpet sweeper with two handles collects dust from the corners as well as from the center of a room. How many who purchase the family coffee know that there are male and female beans, and that if one wants the best brand he must insist upon having the former? Too many -housewives go through the day without system. They never have time for anything. One matron has set out to profit by her New Eng land mother’s experiences. She is de termined to keep house systematically and pleasureably, and she has evolved three rules for herself as funda mentals: First. To have only necessary things in her house—meaning that every article of furniture shall be either useful or beautiful. Second. To have a place for every thing, and see that everything is in its place—which isn't entirely remote from the first rule. Third. To perform the regular duties of the day in the same frame of mind with which she has made her own toilette—taking them entirely as a matter of course. At the beginning of the week she prepares a list of certain things, things, perhaps, that have been “hang ing over” for a long time. She tries to eliminate one thing from the list cach day. Cream Salad Dressing. This is considered by many to be better than mayonnaise, and in the country, where there is a plentiful sup ply of eggs, and good olive oil is hard to_get; this dressing is an excellent substitute. Here is the recipe: Bake the yolks of six eggs with half a cup ful of granulated sugar. Add a cup ful of vinegar and cook in a double boiler until it thickens. Remove from the stove and while still hot add table spoonful of butter and a tablespoon ful of mustard, having first lended smoothly. When cold add a cupful of cream beaten to a stiff froth. Keep in a cold place. Cream Sauce. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter without browning; add two tablespoon fuls of flour, mix until smooth; add two cupfuls of milk or cream, and stir continually urtil it thickens. Sea son to taste with salt and pepper. Spanish Cold Slaw. Take a half dozen good sized toma. toes, pour boiling water over them, then rub off the skin. Take out as many seeds as possible, squeeze out the water, and put in the chopping bowl. Add one white onion, a clove of garlic, two small green chili pep pers, and one cucumber and chop all fine. Season with salt, pepper, a bit of sugar, a few grains of cayenne, and a half cup of vinegar. Heat together, cool, pour over the tomatoes, and set on ice. When ready to serve arrange on crisp lettuce leaves. Cheese Pudding. Mix together in a basin half a pound of cheese, one teaspoonful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika to taste, add one cupful of boiling milk, one heaping teaspoonful of butter, the yolks of two eggs and the whites stifly beaten. Mix gently, pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake for 15 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve hot. Pepper Keeps Mice Away. flace a cayenne pepper where mice frequent and they will not return.
