Mosfa. Road Carrying Cattle.

Denver. Sept. IA morning paper
says: They are shipping cattle from
Rollins pass on the continental divide.
Stockmen of North Park and Middle
Park are busy driving the herds to
market and loading them on freight
cars for the long slide down hill to
Denver. Twelve cars Of stock came
to the Denver yards last night from
Rollins pass and this average number
will come each day from now on until
10000 head have been taken out Of
Rollins pass and Arrowhead.
Every car that comes from the yards
at Rollins pass must have steel
wheels. The long slide from the sum.

to Denver heats car wheel OF iron
to white heat from the constant fric.
ton OF the brakes. Unless steel
wheel Is used the cooling process.
when the cars stop. will so impair the
iron as to make 1t dangerous to take
the wheel on another trip. Every
passenger car and freight car on the
Moffat road that is supplied with
brakes for sliding down the heavy in
cline has the best steel wheel that can
be bought.
The cattle excursions" now begin
ming on the road bid fair to be as
great q success and source of profit
as the passenger business has been
during the past summer.

Human ReInns with IaIIa.

A German traveller claims to have
discovered In the forests Of Borneo a
people who still wear the tail Of our
primitive ancestors. He does not
write from hearsay; he has seen the
tail, says the London Chronicle. It
belonged to a child about six years
old, sprung from the tribe of Poenans.
As nobody could speak the Poenan
tongue tho youngster could not be
questioned. but there was his tail sure
enough, not very long, but flexible.
hairless. and about the thickness of
ones little finger. The Poenans are
reported to be very simple. honest
folk, with a child-like system of bar
ter. They deposit in public places the
goods they wish to exchange, and a
few days later they find there the
equivalents they desire. Nobody
dreams of stealing. This is almost as
remarkable as the vestige OF the an.
cestral tail.

Roosevelt Coming West.

Denver, Sept. 13.-The Republican
this morning says: President Theodore
Roosevelt is anticipating q couple OF
weeks OF diversion among tho bears
and mountain lions OF Wyoming some
time during the late fall or early win
ter. The President has already ar
ranged with John B. Goff, the famous
guide Of the Western slope, to go with
him, the guide to select the country to
be hunted over.
The President has set no particular
time for the trip. his letters merely
stating that he intended taking hunt
as "soon as the busy season was over"
These words are taken as meaning
that he will go on his hunt shortly
after the presidential election. in order
to get rest from the hard work Of

Corn and the Weather.

w. T. Foster describes Franklin and
jefferson as the two great weather
guides and meteorologists of early days.
They studied and wrote scientifically.
about the weather, and all who came
after them followed their lead in study
ing the weather till the present chief of
the United States weather bureau
switched investigation off to the sun.
Foster takes issue with Weather Man
Moore, claiming that the latter's meth
cd of studying weather conditions is not
the proper one. The weather prophet
writes that from his thirteenth to his
eighteenth birthdays he was employed
on one of those large Illinois farms, much
of the time blowing corn and he claims
to have had an excellent opportunity
to study that tropical plant that has
been transplanted to more northern lati-
tudes A hundred years of experience
with the corn plant has graduated the
farming interests in the cultivation of
corn and all that time those farmers
have known that the sun has very much
to do in the production of corn.
Then why did not the farmer switch
off to the sun and study it in order to
learn how to grow corn? Is this not
parallel case with sun and weather! The

An Innovation.

An innovation in the shape of saloon
can be found in Raleigh, N. c., where
church members have tried the expert
ment of christian Liquor Shop To
the average person this, no doubt, will
sound like misnomer, but notwith-
standing this strange combination of
church going people and saloon, it is
claimed that this ''liquor shop" is sue
cess, not only from a financial point of
view, but it has been the means of saw
ing souls, startling as this statement
may seem. The board that controls the
establishment is composed of prominent
church members and the bartenders are
church members. The place is run under
a set of rules that are strictly adherd to-
The doors close promptly at closing time,
no drunkard will be served anything and
there are no places to sit down. Two
per cent of the gross receipts 60 to the
state. One half of the balance goes to
the county and one-half to the city. The
old time license receipts amount to about
100000 per year, During the period of
its operation there has been heavy de-
crease in arrests for drunkenness, but it
is not safe at this time to reckon this as
a permanent result. Whatever the out
come may be, the experiment will be
watched with the greatest interest
throughout the country.
