Local G. A. R. Men Slow
to Extend the Much
Needed Aid.
APPEAL TO GEN. TORRANCE
Efforts to Interest Prominent Members
Have Up to Date Proved Unavailing-
Chairman Now to Devote Entire Time
to Raising Money.

An element of discord seems to have
crept into the erstwhile contented
breasts OF those interested in the sue
cess of the coming encampment in Oc-
| tober next. and unpleasant things are
being said By both Grand Army men
and by the members of the Citizens
Executive Committee.
The matter has reached such pass
that it has been brought officially to the
attention of Gen. Ell Torrance. the COM
mander- in c hief of the Grand Army,
who is said to be engaged in endeavoring
to adjust the troubles without commit
ting himself in any manner.
An Old Story.
It is the old story of the alleged in
difference and lack of support that the
members OF the Citizens Committee are
receiving from the members of the G.
\. r. The Immediate trouble grows out
OF the painful frost located 10 the vi
cinity of :he Columbia Theater Satur-
day night, on the occasion of the Flag
Day celebration. which it had been
hoped would turn in comfortable sum
for the use of The committees.
The responsibility is unhesitatingly
lai1 at the door OF the Grand Army peo-
pie themselves. not half dozen of whom
were to be found in the audience Satur-
day night. It is further stated that an
effort to interest the department COM
mender and secure his assistance in the
matter was met with a rebuff.
Tickets Were Returned.
In fact. the story goes that the con-
cert committee sent a package of 200
tickets to Gen. Bingham with a request
that he dispose OF them through Grand
Army channels. Instead OF his doing
so. the package was returned to the
committee without being opened
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of General Torrance on Saturday.
with the hope that he might appeal TO
the pride of the local members of his
in the effort to secure
this he was reluctant to do, although
ne appreciated the fact that his mrn
were not doing their share toward for
warding the arrangements for the en-
It was when this condition was
brought to his attention and the dis
couragemert of the members of the
citizens committee became apparent to
him, that he stated that il was his
wish that his organization should not
be a burden to the city. and suggested
hat the strictest economy be exercised
N every portion Of the encampment
work.
Already Under Tax.
One of his aides took occasion to say
hat many of the mcriiters of the Grand
army were already taxed all that they
.ould stand for the maintenance of
heir posts. and that 1t would be useless
to call upon them for additional sup
)ort
Some of the members of the exec
tive committee state that il the Grand
Army men themselves refuse to lend
heir support to the cncampment pro-
ect. it is impossible to ask others to
10 so.
In view of these conditions and the
Xtreme difficulty that is being expe-
fenced in completing the guarantee

month. The ore is an average high /
grade, and is coming from the seventh |

Movement Of Ties Begun.

The movement Of ties from the store
yards began here today, and will be
continued at the ate of about fifty
cars a day until the stock on hand is
moved to the different divisions on the
line.
This is not taken to mean the
abandonment of the company's plans
to build a picking plant here, but
rather the ties are needed and that
the company cannot wait to treat them
before using them. It is said hat as
soon as these ties are taken away 9th,
ers will be brought here and stored, to
await the coming of spring and the
building of the plant. The plant will
be built. it is almost certain. as the
money has been appropriated and Lar
annie selected as the place, and the
heads Of departments notified that
work shall begin as early in the spring
as the weather will permit.
The shipment of ties began today
the first trainlosd going out during
the forenoon. The work is in charge Of
William Lawrence of Denver. with Mr.
Smith as foreman and Charlie CLARK
