The wave ot prosperity rolls.
Senator Teller introduced a bill
allowing Colorodo to annually re
ceive 25 per cent of all moneys
paid to the United States for
mineral lands within the state ot
Colorado, for the maintenance of
the School ot Mines established
at Golden. The sum so to be paid '
shall not exceed SI2OO per annum.
The tariff bill passed the senate
late Wednesday afternoon, with a
majority of 11. The total vote
cast was 67. Teller and Cannon,
silver republicans, voted against
the bill. McEnerv of Louisiana,
was the only democrat who voted
lor the measure. It will now go
to the house for concurrence in
the senate amendments, and it
will be several days before that
body gets through with it. It looks
as though the president would get
his signature to the bill by Aug
ust Ist.
The rush of excursion trains on
account of the Christain Endeav
or to San Francisco, has been
followed by mativ accidents and
much loss of life. With all im
provements, study and care, the
great excursions are attended with
serious accidents. The roads at
tempt too much, that is some roads
do. Most ot the aooidents have .
been in the east where more local
traffic is found than in the west.
The western roads have handled
the trains with more ease than
the work was done farther east.
The west must suffer for her
unruly disposition on the money
Question, bhe must take a half
loaf in the tariff on wool and no\y
♦hr tax on stocks will be a harder
slap. The west is “long suffering”
it nothing else. If the protective
fellows would only tax our hot
winds and thereby limit the sup
ply it might compensate for our
light tariff on wool and the taxing
of our mining stocks. It is about
time a kick be registered by the
bloated mine owners of Baca
county.
Ex-Governor Evans, at a npe
old age has passed into the great
beyond. His 1 ife has been one
aeries ot triumphs. Few men -in
public life have accomplished as
much good as this Coloradoan.
He accumulated wealth and spent
his money by thousands for
schools, churches, railroads and
other great enterprises.
The Fueblo holdup is a handy
being when he relieves a lawyer
like Uobt. A. Crossman a former
resident of Vilas, this county, of
his wad. Mr. Crossman lost sll7
a lew nights ago going from his
home to the depot to take the
train lor Denver. The robbers
were unprincipled enough to take
all Bob had and compel him to
stay at home.
The Denver tunes has perform
ed a little Pinkerton work on the
druggists of Denver, and of the
nineteen unsuspected soda water
venders not one was found but
furnish most any kind of liqu or
•‘winked for”. In prohibition
Kansas such things are not start
ling; but in wide open Denver,
where the finest as also the shag
giest of saloons do a profitable
business with open doors, it stag
gers one to believe that the soda
fountains must go into the saloon
business on the sly to satisfy the
craving for strong drink.
. “The ijntons proudly boa?t that
the sun never sets on the
Qeeen's dominions, as if they were
special subjects of solar favorit
ism,” writes William George Jor
dan on “The Greatest Nation on
Earth,” in the July Ladies* Home
Journal. “But it is equally true
that there is always sunshine on
some part of Uncle Sam’s great
possessions. When it is 6 p. in.
on At too*s Island, Alaska, it is
9:36 a. m. on the day following at
Eastport, Maine. If we locate the
center of the United States, circu
lating it as midway between longi
tude sixty-seven ot Eastport and
longitude one hundred and ninety
at Attoo’s Island, it will be found
on the one hundred and twenty
sixth degree of longitude, about
two hundred and eight miles west
of San Francisco, in the Pacific
Ocean.”
“The value of timber yearly cut
in the United States is double that
'of the output of all the mines”;
“One-third of the population of
this country are church members”;
“It costs $668.32 every minute
during the year to run our govern
ment”; “Nearly one half of the
8.000,000,000 letters making up
the world’s annual mail, belong to
the United States”; Uncle Sam’s
farms constitute one-fifth of the
national wealth,” These are but
instances of the thousands of
wonderful facts about every phase
of the life and progress of our
country, from an illustrated article
on “The Greatest Nation on Earth,
by William George Jordan, to ap
pear in the July number of the
Ladies* Home Journal, The article
pictures, in a novel way, America’s
vast area, her matchless resources,
boundless wealth, her marvelous
development, and shows how the
United States leads the world.
“Jim Neumann, one of the town
porters, had a four round contest
with a keg of beer and the keg
got the beßt of the tussle, lie was
wheeling the keg in a hand cart,
which tipped over, throwing the
keg out and knocking Jim down.
When the keg rolled over it struck
Jim on the jaw, breaking it in two
places. Dr. Mathews set the
broken member and Jim is getting
along nicely.”—During the horse
round-up a mule was gathered in
to the herd that is the mother of
a colt. Wednesday morning Iber
SPRINGFIELD, BACA COUNTY, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1897.
Johnson gave the animal a parade
down Main street, and many were
the ejecniations of surprise. This
one ot the twenty-nine cases on
record where a mule is known to
be the mother of a colt, and it is
indeed a freak. The limit ot the
power of Huerfano county gras%
has not been found yet, and we
expect' to hear of some horses de%
veloping wings some day. ThU*
about the mule, is no lie. —

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
F. H. Brandenburg, Observer..
Denver, Colorado.
For Week Ending last Monday. . .
The mean temperature for the
week ended July sth was about
normal over the Arkansas valley
and somewhat higher than usual
along the eastern border of the
state, while over the Divide and
the north-central and south-cen’ra)
sections the temperature averaged
trom 1 to 3 (degrees a day cooler
than the normal. Heavy rains:
visited Yuma and Kit Carson at
the beginning ot the week, and
light showers have occurred along
the Divide. Showery weather
characterized the week in the San
Luis valley and over portious ot
the south-central section. The
first half ot the week was rainless
on file western slope. Owing to
the absence of reports from the
west at this writing, it is impossi
ble to definitely state tbe area
visited by rain at the time ot tbe
general snow storm in the more
elevated sections. Notwithstand
ing the low humidity and windy
weather, wheat, barley and oats m
irrigated districts have continued
most promising. The same is true
of the Divide and portions of the
eastern border counties, where the
rain fall has been heavy. In Yuma
and the eastern part of Arapahoe
county wheat fs ripening and' will
soon be ready to cut, while over
portions of Logan county, where
the rainfall for the past few weeks
has been conlined to light showers,
wheat is dying rapidly and late
oats, though not yet suffering seri
ously, will soon go unless copious
rains iall shortly. Corn and po
tatoes continue promising in all
sections, the weather being gener
ally favorable to these crops.
Showery weather in the San Luis
valley and the south central sec
tion has interfered with the
harvest of the first crop of alfalfa.
In the first-named section native
hay, which is mostly in stack, is
reported good. Potato bugs and
grasshoppers are causing consider
able damage in localities. In Bent
county the grasshoppers are dying
in immense numbers *.n the
prairie. The range is unsurpassed
in the San Luis, while east of the
mountains the grass is brown, and
m some sections rather short. In
the Arkansas valley water is get
ting low in localities, but crops
have not suffered yet.
County Board of Equalization.
Notice is hereby giveii that the
County Commissioners of Baca
County, Colorado, will be in

ments as returned by the assessor.
Said board will also be in ses

July, 19, 1897, sitting as an equal
