New Line to San Luls.

Denver, June ia special dispatch
from Trinidad says that rumors which
have been atioat for several days that
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
was about to engage in the lumber,
timber and tie business have been con-
firmed by the announcement that n
contract has been made by which the
G. +. & l. Co. takes the business which
the Maxwell Tie and Lumber Company
has been conducting successfully In
northern New Mexico. The contract
between the latter company and the
Maxwell Land Grant Company, which
has one more year to run, will then
pass into the hands of the c. +. l. /.
Company.
This means the extension of the Col
orado & Wyoming road from Weston,
to which point 1t is now graded, down
the south fork of the Las Animas
river. A practical route has been
found with less than two and half
per. cent. grade, and survey has been
made for eighteen miles into the heavy
timber In Ponil Park. The locating en-
gineers are now continuing the sur
vey over the divide. which probably
means the extension of the line into
the San Luis valley.

SAINT LOUIS WORLDS
FAIR COMMISSIONERS

Denver, June 11-CO,orado's board of
St. Louis worlds fair managers yes
terday afternoon held its first meet
ing since its appointment. In the gov
ernor's office were Governor Orman,
president of the commission; George
w. Thatcher Of Aspen, commissioner
in-chief, and l. N. Stevens of Colorado
Springs. II. ]. O'Donnell of Denver
was otherwise engaged and Z. Van
Rouse of Colorado Springs, the other
member, was absent. A temporary
organization was perfected with Mr..
Stevens as secretary. The next meet
ing of the board will be held Monday,
July 1st, and at that time it is ex-
pected that permanent secretary will
be chosen.
Under the act creating the commits
sion an appropriation of $4,000 is pro-
vided for which Is to be spent as fol-
lid $4,000 in 1908, the year of the
the bill has been attacked, as the state
auditor Is ignored entirely in the set
tlement of accounts contracted by the
at the meeting yesterday and the board
Sscided that this would not prevent
the use of the appropriation.
Furthermore the board will make an
effort to increase the fund for an ex-
hibit to 100000, as the board is anx-
ious TO make display even superior
to that which represented the state at
the Chicago exposition. A solicitor will
be appointed to travel over the state
and interview county commissioners,
public bodies and rich men, with a
view to raising the money by subscrlp-
tion. Governor Orman said yesterday
that In his opinion the state would
make a big mistake II the Colorado ex-
hibit was not equal to any on the fair
grounds. He believes the st. Louis
fair will be one of the most largely
attended ever held.

W. s. STRATTON SAVES
THE MATCHLESS NINE

LeadvIIle. Colo. June 0.-Denver
Republican Special Mrs. Tabor and
her children will again he the proud
possessOrs Of the Matchless, q mine
that was once famous for the millions
1t produced. and which. 1t is believed,
can again be made dividend payer.
The deed to the property will be pre-
sented to Mrs. Tabor and her chill
dren on July 4th by Mr.. StrattOn,
whom Tabor once befriended, and who
in memory Of his friend now comes 10
the relief of the widow and orphans.
A coincidence of the affair Is that
Stratton will make the transfer on In
dependence day, and 1t was on that
day he discovered the mine which af-
forwards made him famous. 1t was
this fact that also gave the mine its
name.
Mr.. Stratton a few days ago made
over check for $4,000 to his attor-
neys in Denver to buy the Judgment
held against the property and to pay
other accruing expenses. This money
has been paid over to the parties hold
ing the judgment, and at the expira-
tion of the legal time, July 4th, the
final transfer will be made.
]. Il. Walsh, well known mining
man of Leadville and at one time man
ager OF Stratton's Independence mine,
will be Mrs. Tabor's manager.
Mrs. Tabor will come to Leadyilfe
to reside, and Will doubtless realize
once more from the mine that was
once srch rich producer and which,
in the belief of the late Senator Tabor,
has still greater ore bodies In the lev
els below, which have never been ex-
plored.

From the testimony of many Jews

not only to insult and abuse, but even
to assault, while peacefully going their

The storm was peculiar one and
had several paths of destruction.
Those farmers who were fortunate
enough to be between the paths Of the

The damage to potatoes was espe-
cially severe, In many cases the pota-
toes being literally washed out of the
ground and the fields flooded 30 badly
as to almost entirely destroy the crop.
Wheat has also suffered heavy dam

In the vicinity of Ben Reink's place

moving the grain down. The hail
was as large as walnuts and covered
the ground 10 depth Of several
inches.

some damage to property.
