Story About Snow Storm at Alpine
Pass, Colorado

1t was showing on Alpine pass yes
terday, says the Denver Republican.
The reports received at Colorado &
Southern headquarters. however, did
not mention that a snow pIoW was
used, and it is not believed that it will
be necessary to send out one Of the big
rotaries- The snow was in large fakes
and covered the ground.
There was an emphatic statement
made at headquarters yesterday that
the publication of q snow report from
Alpine pass was neither a joke nor an
advertisement for the road. It was
suggested that perhaps S. H. Wood.
secretary to the mayor, had started the
report so as he could send a paper
containing the announcement back to
the mayor of Trenton, N. j., proving to
the latter that there was snow in Colo
RADIO in July as wei as in Trenton.
This was also denied.
1t isn't anything out Of the ordf-
nary to have snow on Alpine pass in
July" said q representative of the
passenger department of the road. 1T
SHOWS there the year around. It is
likely to snow any time Just as likely
to snow on Tuesday as on Sunday
Then the passenger man wrote an
advertisement calling attention to a
cool spot in the mountains

How THEY sTRUoK IT.
Story of Finding ausher From the
Granite :. Enterprise."

Ornamented with a page advertise
ment of the Oklahoma Natural Gas,
Light & Heat company,the Granite En-
terprise appeared this week trimming
over with enthusiasm about the new OIL
we'll at Granite The following is the
story which the Enterprise prints of the
discovery:
ARRIVING upon the field and ap-
preaching the well we could hear
roaring like the distant roar Of thun-
der which we were told was the gas
pressure pushing the oil up through
crevice. This is only a. I'VE inch hole
and when oil was struck at a depth of
LOT feet, it arose q feet, accompanied
by that roaring sound, which has KEEP
up ever since. Some 81 feet from this
well is stationed an eight inch Stand
ard drill, one of the best made, ready TO
commence work at once
This company had been prospectinS
for oil about three months, and it was
about a month ago when oil was first
found, but Il sealed mouth was kept by
them. President Suppe and Secretary
Greiner, disappeared one day just after
they had discovered oil, Mr. Greiner
going to Beaumont, Texas. and Mr.
Suppe to the lord knows where. Be
fore their departure, however they
went around with heads hung like a
chicken with cholera and their faces
We're the very picture of discourage
ment and wore i wished I had never
come expression.
The scheme was very neatly carried
out, and Secretary Greiner, after dis
courag1ng the people here went to FL
Reno where he secured a number of
leases held by the Rock Island COM
pany on land near the we'll and after
taking a few days visit to the Beau
mont oil fields to grab onto all the late
phases of discovering oil, he returned
and began to secure iron clad 20 year
leases on all the land he could around
the well, which amounts to 5000 acres.
while this was going on some par
ty broke into the well for his own
curiosity's sake, drew out some oil, and
shielded with nothing but utter dark
ness and accompanied by nothing but
the creak of his shoe came to town at
a 2:4O gate and exhibited his find to a
few prominent citizens and the next
morning everything was ablaze with oil
stories. Then came the usual reports
that follow the first oil strike, if not a
gusher spouting several feet in the air
and dropping right on the very heads
of the people, that the well is sailed,
nothing in it These discourag ing re
ports got the upperhand and the com
pany succeeded in securing leases to g.
600 acres This being done in iron clad
shape the company was ready to bro
duce their oil and they did so Wednes-
day People We're seen by the score
carrying bottles filed with the precious
fluid, and all who are fortunate enough
to hold stock in this company are now
the very picture of everything that is
pleasing
THE company now has up a large
derrick with a capacity to go 5000 feet
near the prospect hole, and the work of
going down in dead earnest, after moth
ing short of a gusher, has begun. And
there can be very little doubt in the
mind Of anyone who has seen the pros
pect well but what they will find it,

WON'T HURT RAILROADS.
Claimed That Reports of Damage by
Drouth Are Exaggerated.

Little loss will result to the railroads
from the threatened deficit in the
southwestern corn crop, according to
officers of the big transportation com
panies. The managers of these roads
say the reports on corn and orher
cereal shortages have been greatly ex-
aggerated and that a little more rain
viii put everything on the safe SIDE
Even were the corn crop to dW1ndIe TO
almost nothing the loss would be more
than offset by the big wheat product
Just now there is much Wild talk
about the awful effect of the threat
ened corn failure" said an officer of
one of the important granger systems
We who are probably as much inter
ested as any other class in the cereal
crop conditions are not frightened
Corn has been dana ged in many dis
tricts. 1t is true, but in a majority OF
the great corn belts failure is not yet
IN sight. Regardless OF the corn crop,
the wheat traffic viii be unusually
heavy This viii keep business condi-
tons IN the territories affected normal
The grain business is after all a small
percentage of the earning traffic of
even the most grangery of granger
roads On one big northwestern syS-
tenn the entire cereal traffic is but 9 per
cent Of the total freight earnings
"Of course the cereal crops are worth
more to railroad than what the
transportation companies get out of it
in the way of carrying charges. a
good crop boosts general business con-
ditions and a railway to be prosperous
must operate through a prosperous ter
ritOry. Whatever shortage there may
be in corn Will have practically no eff
feet on the earnings of the railroads
nor on the business conditions of the
west Business has been excellent for
the past two or three years. This sum-
mer as we'll as last the passenger rev
enues of the western roads have been
extraordinarily large and this alone
would more than take care of what
might be lost from corn. To take care
of the wheat crop this year will tax
a majority Of the roads for equip
ment"
It is said that the recent visit of
Vice President Kendrick Of the Santa
Fe TO st. Paul and Minneapolis was
Tor the purpose Of borrowing equip
ment for the use of that line in the
southwest. He is understood to have
m ade proposition to the Northern
Pacific road management for a loan OF
5oo Of the new freight cars now being
putt Tor the latter company. The en-
tire equipment of the Santa Fe If is
said, viii not be sufficient to take care
or the tremendous business looked for
this fall It is hardly probable how
ever, that the Northern Pacific or anv
other road Will have any superfuous
equipment within a month or six
weeks
