Biblical times irrigated their land. Then
YOU can turn on the water when moisture

the soil is a rich black Ioam in some

40" impression East.
Special to The Journal.
u New York. May 6.-The promising out
look for the 500 line Is regarded with
much favor here The March earnings
make a. very satisfactory showing, par
ticularly in the matter of gross earnings.
This item shows an increase of % per
cent while the net earnings show % per
cent. The increase in gross was due to
the passenger department and came from
the. movement: of settlers toward the
Canadian Northwest. For nine months
the road shows an increase of Is per cent
gross and per cent net.
The 500 lines success as an Garner of
money turnout the entire year is not due
SO much to its Canadian Pacific connec-
ton as to the. development of it's own
territory. 1t shares with the roads of the
Northern Securities company the advan-
tage to be gained from the position of a
pioneer line. it Is possible that the I'M
popularity of the Securities company has
given to this road a certain advantage
at competitive points in the northwest and
this factor in the success of Mr.. Lowry s
road may bring to it still greater advan-
tages in the near future in the shape of
charter rights and local grants in new
territory.

AFTER A COLORADO LINE
Conflicting Interests Seek Possession
Colorado g. Midland.

SO'tuICtHIS Interests SeSk POSSESSION OF
Colorado & Midland.
Denver, May ga struggle is on be-
tween the Colorado & Southern railway
allied with the Hartman interests, and
the Denver & Rio Grande, a part Of the
Gould possessions, for control Of the Colo
RADIO & Midland road
The primary cause of the strife is the
new M offat road from Denver to Salt Lake
in course of construction. When the
Moffat road refused to grant the Rio
Grande an interest in the survey of the
proposed line from Kremling to fDoisoro,
which will invade territory hitherto held
exclusively by the latter road, the Rio
Grande in retaliation set about finding a
means Of shortening its line to Salt Lake.
BY building direct from Denver to some
point on the Colorado Midland, at least
100 miles could be saved by this PLAN and
the Rio Grande people began to negotiate
for the Midland. The Colorado & South
ern discovered what was being done and
realizing that such a cut as the Denver 6.
Rio Grande proposed to make would ma
terially benefit them in the run to the
| coast, they began planning to defeat the
scheme.

Concerning Our Sisters

There has been much specul alton
lately concerning women. 1t is rec
ognized fact that she is stepping into
positions formerly occupied by men
and giving entire satisfaction. While
the forward strides Vi our sisters are
commendable, it is with humiliation
that the backward steps of our young
men are noted. DR.. n. d. Hillis, a
prominent New York minister, in a
sermon on "Women,'' sums the situa-
tion up in the following manner:
eff you don't want women to out
strip you in the industrial race, and
compel you to come to them when you
want so cents, you had better stop
drinking poor whisley and quit gam
bling at race tracks and in pool rooms.
Women, in spite of mems refusal to
give them rights and privileges to
which they are entitled, are today in
1t5 branches of business and in in
stances showing more ability than the
men.
''In one of the greatest fnantia1 in
stutons of this city not long ago, a
well<nown man, drawing a salary OF
$3.50 year suffered nervous col.
lapse. The directors selected the
young woman who for Il years had
been the stenographer. She, the di-
rector, told me, has done better than
the man she succeeded and is doing il
for but $40, 00O a year.
''In SO years the women will know
more than the men. They have more
time to read and study and they are
improving their time. Eventually
they will vote and tell the men for
whom they shall vote.
Eventually the universities Will be
co-educational, and the women will
carry off all the prizes.'
