SYNDICATE ORGANIZED
TO REHABILITATE THE DENVER
AND GULF ROAD
The Strongest Tinanciers of New York
Propose to Develop All of Colo
RADIOS Resources

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 9.-Receiver
Trumbull, of the Unicn Pacific. Denver
and Gulf railway, has returned from
New York City, where he attended a
meeting of the reorganizat ton commit
tee. He said today: A syndicate COM
posed of the strongest financial and
barking houses in New York City,
headed by Hall Garten & Co. and J.
KenreGy Tod & Co., purchased sew
eral weeks ago from ]. Pierpont Nor
gan & Co., trustees of the Union. Pacific,
collateral trust of 1898, large block of
Gulf securities, viz: Consol bonds,
Sc, 500 900; stock, $13,OOO,0O0, making to-
tai of $40, 500 900.
This sale of $2OOoo,oOo in Gulf Sc
curtes to the syndicate is the basis Of
the reorganization of the road. 1t rep
resents Yearly one-half of the roads Sc
curities. Enough additional proxies
have already been obtained from other
sources to give the syndicate control of
the road. Consequently there was ap-
pointed a reorganiza tion committee
representing majority OF the bonds
and stocks. 1t consists of G. M. Dodge,
chairman; H. Lewis, Oliver Ames, Geo
NJ. Pullman, Henry Bridge and ]. Ken
nedy Tod. Three months will be spent
in dealing with the plan for reorganiza-
ton. Six months longer will be re-
quired, to make the arrangem ents pro-
vided for in the plan. The new COM
pany, therefore, can scarcely take pos
session before July 1st, 1898.
The road will probably have new
name. The reorganization committee
has now under corSid era ton the COM
pletion of the Gulf line between Pueblo
and Wasenburg. 1t is good omen for
Colorado that the strongest financial
houses of New York City desired to take
hold of the road. They will develop, as
far as possible, the industries along the
line 1t looks as though Colorado is not
altogether in disrepute when $50, 100000
deal can be closed. in week. That was
the time required after the men inter-
ested in the sale got to work"

WINNIPEG, Oct. 3.-The prairie fire
which ragged all over the country yes

mornings sun dawned upon terrible
scene of death and devastation. Farm

THE GRAIN CROP
The Surplus Not So Large as Was
Expected

CHICAGO, Oct 3-The Orange Judi
Farmer, in its final estimate of the years
crop. says that the figures based on ac-
tual threshing returns indicate a total
yield of 5S9, 100000 bushels, of which S73,-
$4,000 bushels is winter and 215, ,470, 900
bushels spring wheat. With the excep-
ton Of Illinois and Missouri, the Winter
wheat yield represents the full capacity
of the sort.
The spring wheat yield in Minnesota
and the Dakotas has proved a disap-
pointment, the aggregate being only
129,000,000 bushels. The shortage there
is in a measure couMerbalanced by the
good yield in Nebraska, Oregon and
Washington.
The reports say the corn crop is ex-
ceedingly disappointing on an outside
estimate Of 1.75O,000,00O bushels. The
drouth during the past two months re-
duced the average condition from S2.S
per cent north ago to 1873 per cent on
October 1st. An average oats yield of
2S,7 bushels per acre suggests a crop of
S14,Oo0,0OO bushels, 100000 more than
last year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s-The con-
struction of railroad from Vancouver,
or from some point east Of that place, on
the Canadian Pacific line to Dawson
City and the Klondike country in general
will not be a very difficult or expensive
undertaking in the opinion of Colling-
wood Schrieber Of Ottawa, who is now in
this city. He arrived today with party
of Ottawa people, including e. New
combe. deputy minister of justice Of the
Dominion.
In discussing the building of a railroad
to Dawson, Mr.. Schrieber said today:
1.-TWO surveys are now being made from
different points on the Canadian Pacific.
The latter company is making one of the
surveys and the government is making
the other 1t will be necessary to build
only ninety miles of railroad in order
to make a good rail and water route
from the Canadian Pacific line to Daw-
son City. The railroad can be operated
the year round, but during the winter
months the water portion of the route
will not be open for steamboats,"
The chief object of the deputy minis
ter's western visit is to inspect the pro-
gress of the work on the Crows Nest
Pass railroad, which virtually means an
other Canadian transcontinental line.
The government has granted it a sub
sdy of $4,000 mile. 1t is being built
by way of Nelson, B. c., on Lake Koote-
mai, and will run through the Rossland
mining district 1t is undecided yet
whether or not the new overland line
join the Canadian Pacific at Hope, which
is eighty miles east of Vancouver. The
total length of the line will be about 600
miles.

to them for the effort. If the ex-

formulate new system, whereby
the laborer will get something like
decent share of the fruits of his
toll, should succeed as there is fair
promise of doing,their example will
go long way toward bringing
about revolution for true civil
cation in these islands which will
make the most radical reforms
produced by political earthquakes
not worth mentioning.

Timely Topics
FOR THE-

FOR THE

The long continued drouht
of this year has necessarily
affected diaries, especially on
this island, and its continuance
bids fair to seriously affect the
milk supply. Consequently it
behooveS dairymen to be more
economical than ever in order
to make both ends meet before
the next rainy season. In no
way can economy be practised
to better advantage than in
using the ALPHA-DE LAVAL
CREAM SEPARATORS. Here
are a few of the advantages to
be gained from their use:
1. Save 10 percent. to 50
percent. in skimming. 2. Save
5 percent. to 10 percent. in
churning. 3. Increase butter
value 5 percent. to SO percent.
4. Save time and labor. 5. Save
ice and water. E. Insure purity
Of product. 7. Remove tuber-
culoSis and disease germs.
8. Give a much superior cream.
9. Give cream of any desired
density. 10. Give warm, fresh,
sweet skim-milk. II. Obviate
"scours" in calves. IL. Give
the best aeration. -. Do away

nance keeping qualities. IS.
Save women's and homework.
16. Save one-half time in
