Prof T N Haskell of Denver spoke two hours on citizen rights and party history, praising the Republican platform and Hayes Wheeler while critiquing the Democratic Party, in a sharply partisan address that drew intense interest.

Why Longmont Struggles with Wheat Hay and Water Supply
Special correspondence from Boulder County describes Longmont and Lower St. Vrain farming woes. Farmers face irrigation challenges on bluffs, shifting markets, and rail routes that favor mines. Wheat appears strong but corn is weedier, and hay stacks rise while crops fail or go to market late. Grasshoppers damaged corn. potatoes falter as farmers lean to hay. Longmont’s growth seems stalled despite large wheat tributaries and high potential flour output.
