working surveys before spring. The
survey is now complete for eight miles
up from South Platte station. and so
FAR the construction presents no very
great difficulties. Rhodes Bros. remain
confident that they can prove in court
that the short line can be carried
around and above their reservoir Site
and to this end have surveyors in the
Hclu IuHulllS test lines.

The religious scruples of Attorney
General ID. NJ. Campbell are invulner-
able TO the demands of common duties
OF the position he holds in the state
government. 1t has developed that he
did not go to Rocky Ford last Sunday
with the governor to inspect the land
sought by the OXnard Beet Sugar Com
pany. as instructed by the land board.
The same scruples kept him at home
last fall when several members of the |
board visited lands in the vicinity of
Lamar, where the Great Plains Wafer,
Company wanted 10000 .. acres of
school property. Mr.. Campbell will not
travel on Sunday and positively refuses
to perform any duties on the Lords

ties that can be performed on week

Ong as the Sabbath is designated for
them he will remain at home . !
