All were intent on getting an early

led forth their steeds and out of the
seven horses five were so lame and stiff
they could hardly move. Two had lost
shoes and another had a sore back.
1t was nine o'clock before the horses
were shod and limbered up and the
riders fed on a country breakfast by
a kind hearted lady who pitied their

An Effort Being Made to Block
the Santa Fe.
Florence & Cripple Creek and
Rio Grande to Unite
70 KEEP THE SANTA FE
Out of Cripple Creek-A Com
mittee Meets
With President Jeffrey With
This Point In View.

Canon City. July 2s.-Canon City citi-
zens now believe that there is no ques-
ton but that it will be the terminus of
the Florence &, Cripple Greek railroad.
A committee of Canon City people COM
posed of r. S. Lewis, n. F. Handy, J.
w. Nilsson, J. H. Peabody and c. G.
Dawson had a conference yesterday
with E. T. Jeffrey, president of the
Denver & Rio Grande, relative to right
OF way, trackage and other agreements
proposed between that road and the
Florence & Cripple Creek
The committee outlined the scheme of
building an extension of the Florence
road from mile post Z, across country
to the Rio Grande, crossing Four Mile
creek, going thence into Canon City, a
total distance of about eight miles.
Then, for entrance into Canon City,
there are two schemes. One is the use
of the Rio Grande tracks and terminals
in Canon City. The other is for the
Florence & Cripple Creek to build on
the park adjoining the present depot
of the Rio Grande and eventually re-
move its shops from Florence to Canon
City.
The committee said that the owners
of the Florence & Cripple Creek road.
who are Syl. T. Smith. A. G. Ridgway,
George E. Ross-Lewin, David H. Moi
fat and Phillip Arga1 had assured it
that the road would be built. The ad
vantages that would accrue to Canon
shorter and direct line to Cripple Creek;
Canon City would be the terminus of
the Florence road and finally the lOca-
ton of shops in the town and other ad-
vantages gained would result in nat
ural increase in population, and finally
in the erection in the town of smelters
to handle ore from the Cripple Creek
district.
1t was at first proposed to extend the
Florence road directly from four mile
post to Canon City, but it was ascer-
tanned that it would cost about $40, 900
for a right of way for the road from
Four Mile creek into the town through
valuable orchards This resulted in
the abandonment of that scheme and
decision to join with the Rio Grande
tracks at Four Mile.
President Jeffrey said that the own
ers, both of the Rio Grande and of the
Florence & Cripple Creek road had re-
ferred the entire matter to their engi-
neering departments for investigation.
Railroad men say that the Florence
& Cripple Greek line will unquestiOna-
bly, build the extension and that in real
ity it is meant as a block to the Santa
Fe, which has contemplated building
into Cripple Greek for some time.

every volunteer in the Philippines is
anxious to return home, as they are en-
during almost incredible hardships and
privations. He questions the military
policy of General Otis, but is profuse in
his praise of General Funston as an
officer and a gentleman. Lamarsh was
on the firing line thirty-fOur cOnsecu-
tive days with the Twentieth Kansas.
He was shot once in the foot and three
times in the breast. He took part with
Funston in the famous swim and charge
across the Pasig river. After the rainy
season is over Lamarsh believes that
with an army of 10000 men the insur-
gents can be quickly subdued or swept
from the island. The Filipinos are hard
to conquer as they are found in small
punches and run away after firing a few
vOlleys. The country is rough and brok-
en- and the heavy tropical vegetation af-
fords excellent hiding places for the ma
tlVes. The heat, LamarSh says, is al
most intOIerabIe and could not be en-
dured by American soldiers were it not
for the sea breezes which sweep over
the island. It seemed so cold to La
marsh when he reached San Francisco
that he had to borrow an overcoat to
keep warm.

PACKERS IN A COMBINE.
Kansas City Retail Butchers
Are Forced to Buy Away
From Home.

Kansas City. July 2s.-True to anticipa-
lions of the retail butchers, the prices Of
meats have taken another sudden jump,
and if things do not change the prospects
are that meat viii become a luxury to be
INDUCED in by the weather only.
Yesterday hams took a jump OF half a
cent. The retail butcher now pays 1873
cents a pound. Since July IS ham has
gone up cents, although the authorities
say there is no scarcity of hogs and tho
butchers smile mournfully when asked
the reason for all the upward soaring
A bit of conclusive evidence that the
prices of beef are artificial and stimulat-
ed by what all the retail men say can
only be a combination among the pack
ers, is shown by the fact that several Of
the market men nave Deen compelled TO

no competing for trade among the pack

which is working for a trade in Kansas

The rise in prices for two months has
been steady The rates quoted by the
packers are always the same; There is no
competition among them. The retail men
may as well buy from one driver as an

comrades, was placed in charge of a

first engagement in which he fought
against his country Speaking of this
battle Sergeant Lamarsh is quoted as
follows in the Kansas City Star:
We had charged the FilipinOs, driv-
ing them back and killing and wOunding
many. Among the wounded left on the
field we found Hayes. He was recOg-
nized by several of the boys. One of the
