@. F. Elliott, the retiring traffic
manager of the Florence and Grip
pile Creek road, has filled the place
almost since the road was built
and proved efficient and popular
to high degree. Mr.. Ford, who

Railroad Changes.

On the first of October lmpor-
tant changes will take place on the
Denver d Southwestern railway.
This road has up to the present
time been operated from two of
fees, having headquarters in Den
yer. Beginning with the first of
the month the freight and passen-
ger traffic will be in charge of l..
K. Ford, heretofore general freight
and passenger agent of the Mid
land Terminal. The resignation
of @. F. Elliott, general traffic
manager of the Florence q Cripple
Greek road, has been accepted.
W. E. Jones, who has acted as
secretary and auditor of the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek, has also re-
signed and his place will be filled
by George w. Shannon, who has
occupied similar position with
the Colorado Midland. j j. Frey
will continue as general manager
of the Southwestern, but it is init
mated that he may devote his en-
tire time, later, to the new Alaskan
railway, of which he is the princi-
pal officer. For the present, at
least, he will remain with the
Southwestern.
The retirement of Mr.. Elliott.
and Mr.. Jones virtually ends the
connection of the Smith Moffat
men with the roads leading into
Cripple Creek. 1t also marks the
complete control of w. X. Gillett
in the combination and the sub
stitution of men who have for
years been associated with Mr..
Gillett in the business of the Mid

coLoRADo's GREATNESS.

When one little section of the
state produces from a single crop
100000, it is matter of no sur
prise that the state at large is
prosperous or that the foundation
is being laid for its rank as one of
the very greatest states in the
whole American Union. The
enormous value and certainty of
the potato crop com bine to make
fortunes for the lucky producers,
but that is only one of the many
other crops which are rapidly
making Colorado famous and its
producers wealthy.
AS an illustration, the canta-
loups season has just closed, From
the little section about Rocky
Ford there were produced canta-
loupes to the value of 100000 in
the past season. This by no
means indicates the full supply
raised in the state. While all
cantaloupes raised in Colorado are
called Rocky Fords for CONNER
cial purposes, there are crate upon
crate of them raised outside that
immediate district,
This has been a great year in
Colorado. 1t has been great
year for mining and yet it will
only set the pace for next year,
which will be still greater. 1t has
been an extraordinary year for the
farmers and in most respects is
quite likely to be just as good next
year. On the whole there has
probably ly never been such record
made in the state, and when it is
remem bered that what has been
done is only small part of what
can be done, Colorado's place
close to the head of the procession
of states is well assured Denver

THE FAUuTFlNDERS.

From the cities all over the state comes the complaint that there will not be enough revenue to meet the current expenses of the municipali- ties, since the anti-gambling law has closed the saloons, and thereby de prived the cities of source of large revenues. It is surprising that some of the newspapers of the state are se- verely denouncing the law because of this reduction in city revenues.
 It is contended by some that to meet the deficiency that taxes upon all kinds of taxable property will of necessity have to be increased and that license tax will have to be placed on the honorable trades and professions. Let that be done. Ger tainly nobody who has the better in terests of his city. and of the young men of the state, at heart, will object to paying a slight increase in taxes rather than continue licensed gam bling houses. In fact. there was no law by which a gambling house could be licensed and the arrangement bv which the gamblers were assessed nominal fines by default in the city courts was no more nor less than a which if not corrupt was very stionable-between the off cials and the gamblers by which the latter were allowed to pursue their disrcpntable vocation nnmolested Tho anti-gambling act was passed for the express purpose of preventing such collusion and the law is wise one.
 The Graphic does not pretend to as sert that gambling is going to be en- tlrelE discontinued ats a result of the antl-gambling act, but it will force the municipalities to derive their rey- enues from honorable channels. and drive gambling into seelusion, there by removing it's baIeful influence from contact with the boys and young men, and the latter alone should be sufficient cause to command the re spect of every laW-abding and moral citizen in the commonwealth. and forever put an end to the carping about reduction of the revenues.

ONE GREAT NEED OF PINE BLUFF Is MORE TENANT
 HOUSES.
splendd Opportunity for Profitable Investment in Dwellings to
 Rent

One of the greatest needs of Pine Bluf1 today is more tenant houses. Dwellings for rent are very scarce and difficult to secure. If a house is to be vacated. long before it is, some body else has it rented. Of course there are a few vacant houses in Pine Bluff but the number is exceedingly small
 For nearly every house that is va cated there are from dozen to forty applicants for it. and the owner has no trouble to secure another tenant He doesn't have to advertise at all the fact that he has a vacant house Those who want houses find it out somehow before the house becomes vacant. and they at once try to secure it.
 There is fine opportunity here for investment in cheap houses that would rent from $10 to $15 a month, and there is also a demand for even . better class of houses. but. of course. the greater demand is for the cheaper houses The investment could be made profitable one. and at the same time be made to vory materially result in improving the city by way of increase in the number of resi-,
