Something like 1,500 colonies of bees were 

 lost in the Arkansas Valley in Colorado by 

 the floods which swept Pueblo early in June. 

 At least one beekeeper, W. A. Dolsen, lost 

 his life in this flood, his body having been 

 swept down with the wreckage. Bert W. 

 Hopper lost 500 colonies, together with all 



the equipment.

The Fordney tariff bill, which was passed 

 in the House on July 21, provides a tariff 

 of 21/^ cents per pound on honey imported 

 into the United States from foreign coun- 

 tries instead of 10 cents per gallon as under 

 the present tariff law. The bill must now 

 go to the Senate where, it is anticipated, it 

 will meet with long discussion, for passage 

 in the fall.
