NEwS-TIMES EXCURSIONS.
Will be Run IN Interest of Denver
Department Stores.

The News-Times Publls hing Co.,
has arranged for special excursions to
Denver each Saturday during October
and the low rates of SO. 75 for the
round trip is announced. The train
will be a special and is to start from
Saiida. 1t will pass Florence about
O'Clock a. M. returning to leave
Denver at p. m Tickets good only
on day Of purchase.
1t looks to The Tribune like this
excursion is being run solely for the
benefit of Denver merchants therefore
country merchants can not approve
Of it. AS these excursions are over
all roads running into the capital it
will throw several thousand dollars
of loose change into Denver each
Saturday afternoon. II the people of
the country bite the excursions will
be kept up all winter. Everybody
knows that Denver is not pleasant
place to go in the winter and with
such crowds as it is proposed to throw
in there ON Saturday afternoons it is
reasonable to suppose that there can
be no accommodations. You are to
be put into Denver just before noon.
You go purchase your dinner at
fancy price, then you have about five
stores where you will pay more for
goods than you will If you purchase
right at home.
II the railroad was giving this ex.
Gursion the rate would not be less
than one-fare for the round trip
Then the merchants who are back of
the scheme no doubt have to make up
the difference in the price of the tick
cts to the railroad, and the merchants
expect and will get the extra price
out of the country customer. II
they were giving these excursions for
the benefit Of the public they would
run them in the summer time when
it would be pleasant for people to be
out of doors. but then Of course the
big department stores in Denver close
on Saturday afternoons in Denver.
The Tribune is the only paper IN
Fremont county that does or ever has
come ont in the interests Of home
merchants and it wants to warn home
people that if they go shopping on
these cheap excursions they must ex-
pect to be held.up on their Denver
purchases.
1t is all right to take in the excur.
sion but leave your grips and trunks
at home and do your purchasing at
home.

MUSIC WAS FAR AWAY.
It Was Heard Distinctly, However, by
People Eighty Miles Distant.

AS every schoolboy knows musical
sounds travel much farther than any
other noises. yet it has seldom hap.
pened that people eighty miles away
from the performers could hear the
music Of brass band. Sucn an Oc-
currence actually happened i'll the
Hawaiian islands not long ago. The
leader of the Territorial band, one OF
the famous musical organizations
which have been heard in almost all
countries Of the world, finding himself
unable to visit the islands as thor
oushly as he would have liked to, ar
ranged With the telephone company to
place huge transmitter III the room
where enc of his concerts was being
given and to notify all telephone sub
scribers throughout the islands that
by going to their phones at the given
hour they could have the benefit Of
the music. The scheme is stated to
have worked out with remarkable sue
cess. The leader Of the band was Cap
tain H. Berger. Government officials
slightly miles from Hilo, ere the con-
cert was given, listened to the pro-
gram with manifest satisfaction.
