Denver, June S.-Agaln ise story that
the Denver g. Rio Grande Is h, have an
other Pacific coast connection has been
revived, says the Republican, and Nth
time 1t comes from an authentic souro-,
that trains will be running from Denvc
to the Pacific coast over the RIO Grand'
by way of the Santa Fe road be.oro
slelghing will be good again.
The basis of this report Is the pre-
ence of corps Of surveyors In Vet
Pass working their way 10 Trinidad
Here, 1t is learned, they will begin sur
veying to make the narrow gauge trac';
running south into New Mexico broa
gauge track. According to this story
the connection will be made with TIL
Atlantic & Pacific road at or near SAINT
Fe.
The plans of the Denver 4 Rio Gran
Railroad company or this latest enter
prise are yet indefinite, and the absence
OF President Jeffrey In New York Is con
strued by some who are watching tn
scheme to be In line with the prujec,
They say he Is comforting with the rec
tors about the proposed extension OF thu
road, and that the corps Of survey +
now on Veta Pass will shortly be as
signed to the work.
From present advlces It l. learned
that the plan Of the Denver Il III
Grande owners Is to make their ut
broad gauge to Santa Fe. From Santa
Fe the road will be pushed on to con
meet with the Atlantic & Pacific roal
This will make the two roads conncc
tons on through freight business to til
Pacific coast.
The object of the contemplated enter
prise Is said to be the desire Of thu
Denver & Rio Grande to cut loose from
the Rio Grande Western, as the relations
of the two roads are and have offer
been considerably strained. Again, i
is argued that 1t is n fair business prop
osition for the Denver & Rio Grande Il
effect this change, as 1t would enable Il
to secure more business beside making
1t more Independent.
There are none Of the officials Of the
road in this city who could confirm thu
truth of this statement, as President JET
fiery is the only one who knows III,
plans of the directors. He is scheduled
to arrive from New York on Thursday
and 1t is quite likely that he will have
some information to give out on this
subject.

advertised remedy that thousands 81
people are so ambitious to see tnef
names and their faces in print that they
send in volunteer certificates and oher
their photographs to be used at the pleas
ure of the manufacturer. Even women
by the thousands SQUIRT this terrible no
torety. Many of the testimonials are
genuine and conscientious and come
from people who believe they have been
cured, and not only want to express
their gratitude, but convince other suf-
ferers of the efficacy of the remedy.
Such certificates are of course highly
appreciated, and they are filed away for
public or private use. The testimonials
are SO numerous that nearly every pat
ent medicine manufacturer has bis o.
partment to attend to this branch OF the
| business. Several clerks are necessary,
| who first assert all that are received and
lay those which seem to be genuine be-
| fore experts for examination. And men
become so skilled In this inspection that
| they can detect the false from the true
with almost unerring accuracy. Spe-
cIal cases are investigated either by fur
| ther correspondence or by reference e
| the nearest druggist or In some other
manner. The fake testimonials are
packed away In chests for temporary
preservation, but are usually destroyed
at the end Of the year when there Is no
longer any prospect OF needing them.
But the genuine ones are filed In refer
ence cases by states and counties, and In
dexed SO that they can be referred to
without any trouble.
Twice and often three times as many
testimonials are received In the winter
us In the summer, which Is due to the
fact that the country people have more
leisure to think and write and use more
patent medicines In the winter than they
do in the summer. They spend long
winter evenings talking over their pains
and aches and the different remedies
they have used. and the natural result
is an acknowledgment to the manufac-
turer. Many of the writers ask money
compensation for their testimonials or
free bottle of the remedy. Others Of
fer to give testimonial II money or
medicine is sent to them. These letters
are never replied to, but when the In
spectors find genuine expressions of ap-
| probation they are usually acknowl-
edged with thanks, and permission Is
asked to use them In their advertise
ments. Sometimes these volunteer wit
nesses are asked for their photographs.
