New Castle Town Board De.
MES Report

The town board of New Castle has
passed resolutions by which the board
completely exonerates the victims of
the New Castle disaster from any
completely in the terrible crime. A
portion of the commune cation is as
follows;
Whereas, 1t appears that a seuti
ment exists. in some places outside of
New Castle, that no one was in any of
the buildings blown up at the time of
said explosions, but that the explos-
ions were the acts of the occupants
themselves; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the mayor and trustees
of the town of New Castle, Colo, in
special meeting assemb bled, that, after
a most careful and thorough investi-
cation of the causes of the five dyna-
mite explosions, whicn occurred in
New Castle on the morning of Decem-
ber II, 1908, at about o'clock, we
are positively certain that all the
pers ons living in the dynamited houses
were in their respective homes-with
the exception of W. u. Isaacs, whom
we know was in Glenwood Springs
Colo. Be it further
Resolved, That, whilst we have no
clue as to whom the perpetrators of
this dastardly deed are, we are posi-
lively certain it was not done by any
of those victimized by the explosions.

curve it doubles on it's own trail on
the other side of the brook, only higher
and higher above it, until the three
foot railroad below us looks like
thread. And so, on, we go until it
seems we are going back to Boulder,
only way above it. But after while
we begin surveying again; doubling
on our trail, ever elm bing higher and
higher, but never crossing our trail as
on the Georgetown loop. In one or
more instances we round point where
the turn was SO abrupt there had to be

mountain to make ground to turn on.

BEAUTIFUL COLORADO
A Railroader's Description of
Its Mountain Scenery

We went over what is known here
as the Switzerland trail The route
is thirty miles over the Colorado &
Southern to Boulder, thence twenty
six miles over the Colorado & North
western to Ward, Colorado. From
Denver to Boulder the route is through
an open, farming country, and the
view is splendid one. AT this sea
son of the year the variety of scenery
is wonderful The natural brown of
the unbroken prairie, the black where
fire has passed over strips of land, the
golden sheaves of grain, now in the
shock and some still standing, the
deader stubble of the harvested field,
the freshly plowed ground, the beauti
full deep green of the alfalfa, with the
grand old Rockies for background,
and you have picture that cannot be
reduced to writing, nor spread ON can
vas. The background just mentioned
is not the least of the picture. Foot
hills, six hundred to thousand feet
high, and then on, on, up and up six,
eight. and ten, to fourteen thousand
feet high; varying in color as effected
by sunshine and shadow, snow and
vegetation of various shades, and earth
and rock, and the picture is before you
never o'be forgotten.
AT Boulder we leave the standard
gauge cars Of the Colorado q Southern
and take to the narrow gauge observa-
tion cars of the Colorado q Northwes-
tern for twenty six mile ride to
Ward. The first thirteen miles of the
twenty six we put in the time crossing
the wagon road and the stream up
which the wagon road runs; and be-
tween the three of us there j S not much
of the canon left.
When | was boy, / used to braid
whips out of hickory bark; splitting
the bark into three strands, and plait-
ing them around each other. This
railroad, wagon road and stream, dis
putting for the right of way, reminds
me of the whip The stream is about
as crooked as the separate strands of
bark when braided into the lash. And
80 we wriggle our way up the canon,
between hills and rocks a hundred to
thousand feet high or higher, with
miner cabin or hole in the side
OF the mountain at almost every turn.
Mining is in evidence at every sta
tion. At some of these stations there
appears to have been heavy invest
ments; notably at Wall Street, nine
miles from Boulder; and but for mir
ing it seems there would be nothing
in sight save the mountains
At Sunset station, half way from
Boulder to Ward, the railroad leaves
the little stream with which it has
been playing tag for thirteen miles,
and goes mountain climbing in dead

Weekly Stock Market

South Omaha, Neb., Jan. 6.--The
movements of tine grain market are
being watched with deepest attention
by the livestock men here, owing to
the usual tendency of livestock to rise
with the price of corn. But aside
from this factor in the livestock mar
ket, is the certainty of feeling that
the bottom of prices has been reached
and tnat from the present a gradual
upward trend will be noticeable.
AT South Omaha an impetus has
been given the demand for cattle by
the receipt of an immense order for
'mess' meats which are destined for
the Russian army in Manchur1a. The
order is 'rush'' order, recurring
fulillment and shipment of the meat
to reach San Francisco January 26,
hence the report is current that the
meats are intended for army supplies
in the event of hostilities between
Russia and Japan.
In consequence of this order the
packing houses are buyers of almost
anything that appears and this new
demand has aided in creating rise
in price at this market.
Reports of the attempt to establish
livestock market on the Pacific coast
are received here with slight regard.
With home markets so close as Dem
yer, Sioux City, South Omaha, st.
Joseph and Kansas City, commission
men here have no cause for anxiety
as to the course of cattle and sheep
shipments. The immensely long haul
to the coast from Wyoming or Colo,
RADIO is in itself protection to these
nearer markets, were it not that tine
sparse settlement west of the Rocky
mountains alone precludes the estab-
lishment of market of any impor-
tance on the Pacific coast. The con-
sumption in the coast states is 80
small as not to permit OF either steady
prices or steady sales, but mast al
ways create that fluctuating condition
which is dangerous to the shipper
from distance.
AS to market conditions here and
throughout the country. James C.
Dahlman, president of the American
Commission Co., reports an advance
of % to 30 over prices of the preced-
ing week, on all grades. Gamers
and cutters have joined in the gener-
al advance, condition which has not
been experienced for some months
past, as common grades have been
hard to sell. Range cattle are, he
says, practically off the market, so
few in number are the shipments
which arrive. The bulk of fair grades
are selling from ~ to $4.85, with
short fed and warmed up grades 20.
