GREAT DEMAND FOR SHEEP.
Shipment From Colorado the Heavi-
est Ever Known.

Denver March 30.-Railroad men say
that the shipments of lambs from the
northern Colorado districts are the
largest ever made in Colorado. The
longest sheep train that ever went out
of the state passed through Julesburg
yesterday afternoon. There were 4o
cars in this one train, bound for Omaha.
After a days rest and feeding in the
South Omaha pens the sheep will be
reloaded, and will be taken to Chicago
by the Northwestern, which has agreed
to deliver the sheep at feeding pens
near the city in 10 hours.
Both at Omaha and Chicago the de-
mand for sheep is greater than the sup
ply, and even though breeders and
feeders are rushing their stock east as
fast as the sheep can be loaded, the
prices continue high. The quotations
yesterday were 81. 35 a hundred.
Not all of the sheep consigned to
Chicago reach there. Many of them
are not reloaded at Omaha, but are sold
there. A shipment of eight cars recent
" brought the owner $4,000, of which
IS, 900 was profit above all expenses of
breeding, feeding and shipping.
1t is estimated that in 80 days all the
sheep will have been sold, if the market
continues strong as at present, and
there is every indication that it will.

Denver, March 30-The through train
service inaugurated on the Burlington,
Rock Island, Rio Grande Colorado Mid
land, Rio Grande Western and Southern
Pacific lines a short time ago has de-
veloped so much satisfaction that the
lines interested are contemplating the
permanent establishment of the new
time card, and will probably make some
changes to improve it. There was an
informal meeting held in the city of
railway officials connected with some
Of the lines, which was quite secret
and about which the only information
obtainable afterwards was the fact
that new time card was being dis
cussed.
1t is stated that no definite action
was taken, but the proposition was dis
cussed all round, and II was concluded
to take the matter up with the South
ern Pacific management and arrange
for a meeting in a few days for formal
discussion, at which representatives OF
all lines may be present.
1t is likely that there is considerable
significance attached to this meeting.
On account of it being informal and not
all of the lines being represented the
officials refused to discuss the matter
for public information The gathering
is probably a movement that may re-
suit in bringing about one of the most
systematic connections of transconti-
mental passenger traffic that has yet
been organized I'M the wide territory
embraced by the section intervening
between Chicago and San Francisco.
The Southern Pacific officials will be
seen at once and the date of the meet
ing will be set by the management of
that thoroughfare.

Denver & Rio Grande Road to Great
~ Enlarge Denver Shops.

Denver, March 30.-The Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company is planning
to spend S250000 on improvements and
enlargement of the Burnham repair and
construction shops. Plans are being
prepared by the company engineers, to
be submitted by President Jeffrey to
the board of directors. If the board ap-
proves the Rio Grande shops will be en-
larged so as to build and repair cars
for the Denver & Rio Grande road and
the Rock Island and the Missouri Pa
cific as well. The plans even take into
account the time when the Rio Grande
will need to build it's own locomotives,
and it is probable that when the en-
larged shops are ready, work of this
kind will be done here, to save the enor-
nous expense of bringing all locomo-
tives from the east.
The present shops are among the
largest west of the Missouri river, but
it is said that their capacity will be al
most doubled. The increased business
of the road, and the activity of Compel
ing companies, it is said, make the pro-
posed action of the Rio Grande neces-
sary. At headquarters it is said that
the building Of the new shops is almost

Texas Commission Listens to Both
Sides of the Question.

Austin, Tex, March 30-The hearing
before the railroad commission on the
question of prohibiting the practice or
running double-header trains on Texas
railroads is on. The railroad employees
who made the complaint are represent
ed by Judge T. NJ. Campbell, of PaleS-
tine, former general manager of the
International and Great Northern rail-
road, and five other attorneys. The
railroads are represented by their re-
spectiVe general attorneys, and the ar
ray of legal talent is the largest that
has ever appeared before tae commits
sion.
Judge Campbell, in behalf of employ
es, offered a long petition, signed by III
members of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road F'iremen, urging that the double
header practice be prohibited. The Pc
tition gave a complete record of the
accidents to dOuble-headers on the Tex
as roads, and alleged that they were
largely due to that method of running
trains. This petition was admitted as
a part of the pleadings.
A number of witnesses were eXamin-
ed by the compliments. They all
claimed that dOuble-headerS increase
this risk of accidents. The railroad
companies win offer testimony to show
that there is no increased risk of acct
dents in the operation of dOuble-head-
ers, and that the real cause of the COM
plant of the railway employees is due to
the reduction of the number of train
crews by running two engines to a
train.
The grand officers of the several ma
tional orders of railway employees are
still here.

ROADS ARE PATRIOTIC.
Will Pocket Losses on Transportation
of Troops.

Right or wrong, it is probable that in
the end the western roads will quietly
submit to the ruling of the comptroller
of the treasury and accept settlement
for the transportation of troops on the
basis of party rates, less the land grant
discount. There is a strong sentiment
among some of the roads against en-
tering into a contest with the govern
ment in the matter. While some roads
declare their intention of fighting the
thing to the last others are willing now
to accept payment on the comptroller's
terms and end the controversy.
The roads which argue for a settle
ment urge that it is bad policy to enter
into a contest with the government. It
will arouse popular prejudice against
them. and in the end they are not at all
certain that final judgment will be in
their favor The refusal of John Jacob
Aston to allow the road of which he is
president to accept any remuneration
whatever for the transportation of
troops during the war period has acted
as a wet blanket on the determination
of those roads which have advocated
the collection of the last cent from the
government in connection with the bus
mess. Railroad officials do not like, any
more than other individuals, to be con-
sidered unpatriotic. There appears to
be a growing sentiment in favor of
pocketing their alleged LOSSES and say
ing nothing more about it.

High Priced Oranges.

New York March 30.-A car load of
California oranges were sold today for
the benefit of the St Johns guild, which
brought more money than any other car
load of the fruit ever sold in this city,
$4 ,631 being realized. The fruit was
donated to charity by the Southern Cal
ifornia fruit exchange, and the car con-
tanned 365 boxes, containing from so to
200 oranges in a box. Many of the
boxes were resold several times, the
buyers donating the amount at which
they secured the boxes to the guild.
