R Most destructive forest fires have been raging in the northwest part of the state doring the past few days.

His rule was to endeavor to sell in value, more than he purchased, and to grow evervthing on the farm for his own use that the land would produce.— Las Animas Leader. —— The Santa Fe route’s California limit ed train will be finer .and faster than ever this year. The fiurth aniual seae son beging Wednesday. Novewnber 2, when the west bound train will leave Chicago, The east bound train will leave Los Angeles Monday, November 7, and thereafter the train leaves both terminals Mondays. Wednesdays and Saturdays. The train will consist of a dining car, two ten section double draw ing room sleepers and an obseryation car containing a ladies parlor. —— Pablic interest is now centered in the daily sessions of the commission ap pointed by the President to investigate the conduct of ths war, which are being beld at the War Department in Wash ington, The Commission consists of Gen. G. M. Dodge of Jowa, Col, J. A, Sexton of Illinois, Capt. E, P, Howell of Georgia, Maj, Gen. J. M. Wilson, U. S. A, Hon. C: A. Denby of Indiana, Ex-Governor Woodbury of Vermont, Ex-Goyernor Beaver of Pennsylvania, Gen, A, C. McCook of New York, and Dr, P. B, Conner of Ohio. The Presi-} dent told the members of the Commis sion that all the power of the govern ment should be placed at their disposi tion in their efforts to lay bare all the faults there were in the management of the war, in either high or low quarters; and there is a general disposition to be lieve that the investigation is to be conducted withont fear or favor, and solely with the desire of getting at the truth, and so far as may be possible, to place the individual responsibility for all the unnecessary suffering. of our soldiers. To place the responsibility is a8 far as the Commission can go; pun ishment must come from the President. ___ o ‘ A woman will go into a dry goods| store packed to the roof with goods of every style and yalne, and come out with a five cent paper of vins.

The growth of this industry has been so rap id and 80 many farmers become growers who had not given a thought to the great struggle at Rocky Ford which re sulted in such unexpected success in the year 1897, that the principle of union which bronght them success has been lost sight of. This season began with twomen to handle the canteloupes, each with his own system, and before the season has closed both have failed to meet their obligations to the growers. After these failures it is eyident that some new system must be brought for ward to take the place of the contract plan. The question right suggest itaelf‘ to most inquiring minds if it is necessa ry for the farmers to let the middle men have soo much of the prefits of the busi ness whens the commission men who buy in sach large quantities must sell to some other commission, or have some sold on commission, which necessitates a lurge profit being made in order to pay the ring who live off the farmers anyway. Why could not the melon growers of the Arkansas valley unite and when the proper time comes put men in the east to sell cantaloupes, and if the market will not sustain good prices for all the crop, let everv grower dump in the field in proportion, and then every one will reap the reward in proportion by the consequent better price.—Man zanola News. Where the Difference Lies. Two congressmen were having a warm argument over the war, and especially over the difference in the management of the,srmy and that of the pavy, in the readingroom of a Washington hotel, One of them would invariably close & sentence arrainging some department of the army by asking, “Now why couldn’t that have been done as well a8 the naval officers did all their work?” After he had asked the question half-a-dozen or more times, he was surprised to be con fronted by a quiet gentleman, who had been sitting near, who calmly said. “I can answer your question.” Looking at him somewhat fiercely, the congress man said, “Well, go ahead; tell us why naval work was better done .than army work?” *Simply because politicians and persons with social pull could not get nayal commisrions for civilian in competente; the work in the navy was all done by men specially educated to doit,”” was the quiet. reply. *Humph! who are you?” asked the congressman. *Never mind my name; I am a naval officer,” answered the gentleman. The congressman said he had an engage ment and started to leave, but before doing sp he leaned over and said to the naval officer, “Better be more careful how you express opinions and criti. cisms of the other branch of the ser ‘ vice, .. Those in hearing joined the ‘naval officer in smiling and one man said to another, *‘Wonder how many army commissions that congressman secured for incompetents?” EDITORS ARE CONE The editors have scattered. The con -1 yention of two weeks ago of the Nation al Editorial Association is now merely a memory. Loaded down with canta loupes, watermelons and Arkansas val ley fruit, the editors left in their long train of Pallman cars this morning for Omaha and the east, The Arkansas vyalley trip wus the wind up of a week of sight-seeing. That the citizens of the wvalley appreciated the compliment paid them by the pen cil pushers was evidenced by the fuct that they sent them back east with the best samples of fruit they could find, and gave them a Yarbecue-like enter tainment at Lamar which will go down into local history, Maps and copies of the ‘‘Arkansas Valley Truth” were given each member of the party and the results of the trip cannot help being of great benefit to the state.—Denver Eyening Post, . Colorado Wins Fruit Sweepstakes at Omaha. Colorado is winning all premiums in sight at the Omaha Exposition for fruit displays. Tuesday Charles 8. Lane, in charzer!the Otero county display at thé exposition, informed Becretary Shiite of the State Board of Horticulture that n portion of the awards bad been made in seyeral classes of fruit from this state. Arvapahoe and Jefferson ‘counties bave scored 100, the highest possible score; on Rve yarieties of ap ples. Otero connty scored 100 on peach - es and 100 on seven out of ten varieties of apples. In plums Otero county ‘ scored 100 in eight classes out of ten. - Mr. Lane writes to the secretary that the judges have not yet completed their work on Colorado fruits. Delta. Fre mont, Garfield and Montrose counties| bave vet to be heard from, and, if they ‘ hold up as well as the other countiex, | there is no doubt that the state will be awarded a score excelling that of lny‘ state in the Union, and far ahead’ of what was given Colorado at the World’s Fair. Although the state did not enter as an entirety, many of the counties had large displays. B. F. Rockafellow and Harry Catlin, of Fremont county, each had twenty-three varieties of apples, aud expect to win enough diplomas to cover the side of a barn. Acsording tp every visitor at the fair, the fruit ia~ the best ever seen in the country, Secreta ry Bhute says the creditable score so far may be acconnted for partly by the care ful manner in which the growers hand led their fruit after it had left the treee. —Fowler Tribune.

There's the prean of the victor and the ycli of wild delight That always greets the winner when he carries off a fight: There's all kinds of jubilafion, from a cheer up to a whoop, But there’s none of them do justice to a great, big scoop. There's the boy who works the story, and his heart is full of glee, But he doesn't show he's tickled, he's as calm as calm can be. And you'd think to see him writing thas his health was on the droop, But you bet he's fairly humming with hisg great, big scoop. Then the boss, who reads the copy, marks ‘“first page’ and lets it go, And he'd like to let a yell out so that e} the world might know How he's got the opposition most complete 1y “In the soup” Y When they wake up from their dream anc read the great, big scoop.
