MONEY SECURED TO BUILD
THE NEW M0FFAT LINE

The fact that the total issue Of $20.-
100000 worth of bonds of the new road
has been disposed of in such short
time is evidence of the confidence in
vestors have in Colorado enterprises
While a part of the money for the road
was subscribed in Colorado. most of 1t
came from the East. Mr. Moffat an
nounced shortly after the sale OF bonds
was opened last month that he had sold
$5, ,000, 900 worth of the bonds to Provi-
dence and New England capitalists,
who are interested with him in the
Denver Tramway Company. The net
vaiue of the bonds which have been
sold in the East during the last three
weeks amounts to about $13,O00,000.
There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect, but it is un-
derstood that a large block of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. NJ.
Boissevain. the Holland banker who
was in Denver last month. Mr.. Boisse-
vain and Mr.. Moffat have been asso-
ciated in the financing of railroads in
the past.
President Sylvester T. Smith of the
Colorado-Utah Construction Company,
which is to build the railroad, yester-
day said that the exact route Of the
new road would not be made public for
several days. MIR. Smith announced
early last week that he would make the
route public Friday, but owing to some
minor changes yet to be made, 1t will
not be given out until some time this
week.

WANTS A STATE
BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Denver, Colo, Nov. II. - Attor-
mend In his biennial report that the
constitution Of the state Of Colorado be
amended to permit the establishment
of n State Board OF Assessors. such as
was created by the revenue law of 1901.
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Dixon and Judge Riner. The attor-
ney generals report will be presented
to the governor about December lst.
and the above will be the most im-
portant recommendation.
Il will also advocate the establish
ment OF permanent land board" said
General Post. Il believe that entirely
too much work is put on the state OFF,
clals by the necessity of attending TO
the business of these two boards OF
equalization and land. and | think ther
ought to be n provision of the statutes
or constitution making these two
boards entirely separate from the elect
ed administration. That would take an
immense amount OF work off the shoul-
dcrs OF the governor. attorney gen
eral. superintendent OF schools. audit
or and other officials. and would per-
nit them to devote more time to the
details OF their official work, at present
looked after by assistants.
'The Board of Assessors. as things
stand, can be created only by constitu-
tional amendment. Such board was
created by the revenue law OF last year
but was declared unconstitutional by
two judges. fought their decisions.
and still think this the most import
ant and useful provision OF the law.
But, II II Is unconstitutional. we ought
TO amend the constitution so us to per-
init the establishment OF the board. II
will relieve the officials who have
enough to do In the work OF their re-
spective offices.
'As to the land board. Its import
ance and the growing amount OF bust
ness II handles show more and more
the need of putting Its work into the
hands Of n board especially appointed
for the purpose. ! shall urge these two
changes most strongly In my report"

VANDERBILT LINES TO
RAISE WAGES OF EMPLOYEES

more than right that the workers
should share in the profits of this in
creased business.
mo demands have been made upon
us for an increase in wages, nor, so
far as l know, has any such request
been considered by our employees in
any of the departments. The advance
which will be made is voluntary on the
part of the companies and will be
made on recommendation of the ofii-
GERS according to the ability and posi-
ton of the employe."
Reports of increases in the wages of
employees of the Philadelphia q Read
ing and the Erie were current to-day
and Saturday. and conference of the
officials of the Nickel Plate at Cleve-
land last week is said to presage the
advance of wages of all employees of
that road
1t is presumed that the Northwestern
and Big Four. both roads part of the
Vanderbilt system. will follow suit in
the matter of raising the wages of
their employees.

VIII Use Improved Coal Chute.

Arrangements are being made by
the Union Pacific to spend hundreds
Of thousands of dollars In improve
ments in coaling stations all over Its
system. and the adoption Of a new
coal chute whereby one man can do
the work that formerly needed the
services of a dozen. A trial of the
new chute has been made in Lexing-
ton, Nebraska, and has proved Its
worth. w. Il. Wilmer of the coal de-
partment, has just returned from a
tour of inspection in Nebraska and
southern Colorado, and reports favor
ably on the working of the new chutes.
1t is understood that in all thirty coal
ing stations in the Union Pacific sys-
TEN will be equipped with the new
chute within year, and that 1000
new coal dump cars of seventy-hve-
ton capacity will be ordered built. The
first one installed in Colorado will be
built at Julesburg.

on their individual merits. Some of
our men will be advanced as much as
twenty per cent. and others will not be
advanced more than five per cent, but
there will be an increase all along the
line.
There have been several reasons
which have led to the determination
