1t is reported that Engineer John
Madigan, who was in the recent
wreck, has notified Superintendent
Dyer and Master Mechanic Forster
that he will never again handle the
throttle of a locomotive.
A Santa Fe claim agent was in
town yesterday effecting a settle

were injured in the wreck at Con-
roe. One man received $50 and
new suit OF clothes. Some peo.
pie want but little here below, nor
want that little long.
A passenger aboard an east
bound Santa Fe train lost his rea-
son just after the train pulled out
OF Ration Wednesday morning.
When the train reached Trinidad
he was removed from the car and
taken to the Sisters hospital,
where he is now receiving treat
ment. His name is Frank w.

The yardmaster at Dodge City
says that SO to 100 tramps arrive
there daily, they having been sent
out to harvest, and the harvest is
two weeks off. Many OF these
tramps wear badge on which is
inscribed COLORADO volunteers to
help save Kansas wheat" The
tramps are returned east or west,

Traffic over the bridge leading to
North La Junta is constantly in
creasing, and the structure is en-
tirely inadequate for the demands
made upon it. 1t is impossible for
two heavily loaded wagons to pass
each other upon it. The bridge
could very easily be widened at
small expense by lengthening the
stringers and thus rendered SER
viceable for several years to come.
The salary of the postmaster at
Rocky Ford was increased to $500
per annum by the recent annual
adjustment of salaries, an increase
of SIoo. 1t was also increased at
Las Amman $Ioo. Denver shows
the most remarkable increase in
the state and on the whole the
statement is an improvement of
about so per cent over that of a
year ago.

oughly reconstructed as n man ought

see recommendations to federal Office

1t does not come with good grace to
me, in my cynical turn of mind. to be
instructed in the construction of the
organic law of the nation, the tradi-

lation to be enacted to carry out the
doctrine of the government as II was

statesmen inflated with glory from
desperate attempt to destroy the whole
nation. Sometimes l have almost
imagined that there might be re-en-
acted In the history of America the old
wooden horse fable of the plains of
Troy. When l see a statesman from
the South and n statesman from the
North in unholy alliance-and from en-
tirely different motives through the
traditions of the government 1t would
almost seem to me that the one was
actuated by desire to load the nation

CANADIAN NAVAL MILITIA.
Our Northern Neghbor Proposes This for The
Great Lakes.
A Scheme that VIII Cause n Counter Move
In This Country and May Result
In Much Trouble.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 2s.-Sir Louis
Davies, minister of marine is plan
ming active steps for the formation of
force of Canadian naval militia for
service on the great lakes.
1t is semi officially stated that the
chief reasons for prompt action are the
recent dispatch OF the training ship
Yantic to Detroit for use by the Unit
ed States naval militia and the Bristol
speech of Sir Michael Hicks Beach in
which he expressed the opinion that
Canada has not sufficiently contrib
uted to the burden of imperial defense.
The basis of the projected plan will
be the fishery protection fleet which
was organized ten years ago, when
the United States abrogated the fisher
les clause of the Washington treaty.
The fleet has since been doing patrol
duty on the Atlantic coast and the
great lakes. 1t consists of eight armed
steel vessels and couple of schooners.
The crews of these vessels are em-
plcyed only during eight months a
year For the remaining time they
will probably be kept under pay and
training, thus forming the nucleus of
a volunteer naval reserve.
Training ships for the Labrador and
lake ports are part OF the program
These will be established as soon as
possible.

calculates that the river boats will not

supply necessary to sustain the esti-
mated population next summer. He
does not believe that $4,000 people can

tains an important warning, of which
the public should take notice. He
says:
