Good Words for the Santa Fe.

More than unusual interest must be
attached to the location of the western
general offices OF the Santa Fe in Pueblo.
1t means that this great system by con-
oentration at point like Pueblo can
more economically conduct It's aifairs and
at the same time build up a business here
that few il any other town on its line can.
As the result of this change the Santa
Fo must make a great many improve.
ments, and probably among the first will
be new passenger and freight depot on
Union avenue. This building is an alb
solute necessity, and the company has
long intended to build it, and the Opinion
believes that it will be under way within
GO days. Other impro rovements are bound
to follow, and our business men will bo
short sighted if they do not encourage
the Santa Fe in every way. You have
got to move your freight and the Santa
Fo is here to accommodate you. And
more: they are here to help bnild up
Pueblo, and this goes. The Santa Fe
will from now on do ell that it can for
tho growth OF Pueblo.-Puebio Opinion.

Tho collapse of the Colorado secr,ri-
ties Co. OF Denver promises to be bitter
and costly incident for many farmers and
business men of Colorado. The late
manager, Aldrich, has departed for parts
unknown and the affairs OF the company
are in a deplorable condition. The un-
businesslike, if not criminal, methods of
MIR. Aldrich will inhict great losses upon
the parties who made loans through his
agency. 1t was his custom to receive in
tercst from farmers and others who had
made loans, send them receipt for the
same, but never remit the money to the
parties holding the notes. A law ques-
tion may arise whether or. not payment
to Aldrich was payment to the holder Of
the notes. II Aldrich was the agent of
the money loaner the payment to him
would protect the borrower from Sec
ond payment, but if it be proved that Al
drich was the agent of the borrower
and not of the loaner, the interest paid to
him will be exaoted again. Another
enormity practiced by Aldrich was Civ
ing re ease deeds when a mortgage was
paid, but failing to send the money to
eastern investors, who yet hold the notes
and will try to collect the same. A num-
Der Of Otero county people will be suffer
ers by Airich's operations or else be
subject to costly litigation.

Many farmers in this section have
an alleged grievance based on the rumor
that it is the intention of the Santa Fe to
fence their track in many places at a dis
tance Of 100 feet from the track. In
some cases valuable young orchards
will be included in the fenced portions,
but we presume in but few cases will
there be any real injury inflicted by the
fencing of the entire 200 feet of right of
way. The railroad seems to have the le-
gal right in the matter as their right Of
way was obtained 200 feet in width years
ago when the land granted was practical
ly worthless. This, however, has not
been universally acquiesced in, as suit
in a Kansas court has been decided adj
verse to the Santa Fe. Parties who
have improved to within so feet of the
track have in all probability innocently
infringed on the prior rights of the Santa
Fe. But it is probable that those who
have fenced within the right of way will
not be annoyed by the wide fencing, as it
seems that the road has not, in the fenc-
ing done in this vicinity, claimed their
iegala privileges, but have fenced only
80 feet on each side OF the track.

interest in dairy matters and it was
largely through his influence that the
newly established dairy school was add

Fort Collins. For that department OF

Fe will sell round trip tickets for one
fare and the attendance of the Democrat

Any eccentricities or deficiencies in
this issue may be attributed to the fact
that two-thirds Of the Office force has
