A COLORADO COMBINATION.
Southern and Midland Roads Com
bine Against Denver &
Rio Grande.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. I7.-The Tri-
bune gives details today concerning
combination between the Colorado
Southern and the Colorado Midland.
The first named road will thus secure
the shortest line to Grand Junction and
will strengthen existing connections
and traffic arrangements with the Rio
Grande Western, thus making a new
route from ogden and Salt Lake to
Texas, Mexico and the gulf, via Colo
radO.
Both Colorado systems will increase
their local territory, cut off competition
in several cases and form an aggressive
rival of the Denver and Rio Grande.

MAY BE MOVED.
Talk of Taking Santa Fe Cen
eral Managers Office
Away.

1t is said in connection with the pos
sibiIity of Third Vice President Barr
succeeding Mr.. J. J. Frey of the Santa
Fe that the office of general manager
of the road may be moved from Topeka
to Chicago.
Mr.. Barr's Office is now in Chicago,
and so far as known there is nothing
to prevent him from retaining his Of
flee there in the event he assumes the
general managership of the Santa Fe.
1t would not be as satisfactory, be
cause of the necessity of sending much
correspondence and other papers to
Chicago for approval, but outside of
that the road could be managed as well
from Chicago as from Topeka The
general manager is in his car on the
road as much as he is in his Office.
However, it is not certain that Mr..
Barr will succeed Mr.. Frey The man
agement may decide to appoint a sue
cessor- other than the present third vice
president, Mr. Barr retaining general
supervision of the operating department
of the entire system. If the manage
ment takes cOgnizance of civil service
in such an event. General Superintend-
ent Nudge would be the most likely
man for the place, although the gen
eral managers of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe Pacific system lines might
also be reasonably considered
But the present Santa F'e manage
ment has not followed civil service rules
at all times in filing official vacancies,
and it would not be surprising, in the
event Mr.. Barr does not take the posi-
ton, if an outside man should be
named.

WORM DESTROYS PINES.
Black Hills People Alarmed Over
Ravages of Pest.

Deadwood, s. D. Nov. 1.-THE Black
hills people are greatly concerned over
the ravages of the little worm on the
pine trees of the forests. Two years
ago the insects first made their appear
anCe, whence no one knows. The at
tentiOn of the government has been
called to the matter repeatedly, and G.
a Steele of Portland, Ore, United
States forest inspector, has been over
the Black hills forest looking into the
matter. He finds that the worms have
already killed over $50 square miles Of
pine forest and the devastation is
spreading at an alarming rate. At the
present rate OF expansion, Mr.. Steele
estimates that every pine tree in the
Black hills viii be killed within five
years.
The worm is about quarters Of
an inch in length and about quarter
of an inch through, and they can kill a
tree in a few days. They bore through
the bark and drink UP the sap At
certain age, the worms blossom out into
bugs with wings and they fly in
sWarmS. At present there IS no known
method to destroy them. There are a
few WoOdpeckers in the Black hills and
they kill and eat many of the worms,
but make no headWay against them.
The matter viii be brought up at
Washington Immediately by Inspector
Steele He considers it of the great
est importance, for, he states, there is
nothing to prevent the bugs from mi-
grating to other pine districts Thus
far they are confined to the forests Of
the Black Hills
There is one district near this city
which is eight miles wide by thirty-one
miles long, one Of the best pieces OF
timber in the Black hills, which has
been almost entirely killed by the
worms Inspector Steele viii take pic
lures Of the trees and some Of the bugs
back to Washington, where expert
ments will be made He believes that
it may be possible to inoculate them
successfully.

J You miss one OF the

Ask your grocer for

Ask your grocer for
the new food.

A famous woman in Chicago says: Il
am so much in love with Grape-Nuts
that / presume I often bore people tell
ing them about the new food. You GER
tainly will make an everlasting fortune
from the sale of Grape-Nuts. The arti-
Gle is destined to become the best known
cereal GA the market
1t can hardly be called a cereal, for it
is not like the common rolled wheat or
rolled oats, but it is in the form of
granules, ranging from the size of a
pin head up to twice or three times that
size.
1t is thoroughly cooked at the facto
ry, and requires no preparation what
ever, but can be served instantly with
hot milk or hot cream to make a hot
mush, or cold cream can be poured in
the side of the saucer and very deli
licious crisp food is the result. Not only
is the taste fascinating, but the nutri-
tive value of the food is very great, as
shown by the improved condition, phys
ically and mentally, of those who use it
ten days or two weeks.

Rafael Joseffy will be at the Hyperion

nee recital, and judging from the large
advance sale a large audience will greet
this clever pianist. The programme to

to display his versatility and is espe-
cially strong in compositions that dis
play with effect the marvellous technical
equipment of the pianist. Joseffy' S
touch, tone and technique are all highly
finished but the last specially impresses
the audience. His command of the
keyboard and mastery of difficulties has
seldom been excelled by any pianist, He
possesses pianistic virtuosity to a de-
gree that never fails to awake admira-
ton and place him well in the front
rank of pianists now before the public.
The prices have been specially fixed at
81, rs and so cents, which will enable
every one to take in the recital. The
matinee commences at 2:30 p. m. sharp.
