A Gazette representative visited
lone last Saturday. We are
pleased to note the prosperity of
the bustling little city. lone is a
great primary wheat market. The
wheat hauled direct to lone will
be very close to 100000 bushels,
while at Jordan Siding, only three
miles away, 100000 bushels will
be handled. The wheat from
Jordan Siding is all billed out of
lone, and the prosperous little
town will practically handle this
year 100000 bushels. This can
not help but make lone a good
town.

Getting After The Trusts.

The story in the New York
World that President Roosevelt
has ordered the department of
commerce and labor to ascertain
whether or not the Standard On
company is an illegal combination
need occasion no surprise. The
pl ovince of the department is to
examine into the operations OF all
large corporations and ascertain
if they are complying with the
law. Inasmuch as it is new de-
partment and time has been re-
qulred to get it into good running
order, there has been some delay
II taking up many of the tasks as
signed to it. But such an iDvestl-
cation as that outlined by the
World was contemplated when
the department was Gre ate1, not
only as to the Standard Oil, but
also as to all other concerns deal
ing in commodities in general use.
The World report that the
president has determined that the
Standard Oh shall be broken is
mapifestly exaggerated. What he
does intend, probably, is that the
shall prosecute its in
quiries and bring to account ell
corporations that have gone be-
yond their legal rights. That is

The harvesting of spring wheat is
becoming general in the eastern por-

Macaroni wheat appears to have en-

worth cutting.
Corn is advancing fairly we'll, is gen.

TO HAVE LONDON BANK.
Reported That the Standard Oil Group
Will Purchase an Old
institution.

New York. Aug. 10-The National Cit!
bank, the most important of banking
institutions allied with the Standard
OIL interests, according to reports cur
rent in local banking circles today, Is
negotiating for the purchase of one OF
the London banks, with the purpose OF
extending its facilities for handling
foreign business. James Stillman,
president of the National City bank,
and himself one of the most active Of
the Standard Oil group Of ~financiers,
is now in Europe. According to re-
ports, it is Mr.. Stillnlan who has been
engaged in the task of obtaining con-
troll of a bank in London. Confirms
ton Of the report could not be had at
the National City bank, where it was
said by one of the vice presidents that
nothing is known here of such action
on. the part of Mr.. Stillman. 1t is
most likely, in fact, that such a plan
would not be carried out by the bank
itself, but through financiers working
in cooperation with it, as Is usual in
The National City bank has been
making heavy remittances to London
recently. On Friday last it arranged
to send abroad S2,500,000 in gold. This
is taken as partly confirming the report
Of the purchase of a banking institu-
ton in London, 1T being inferred that
these remittances are for the purpose
of making payment for that bank.

GRIEF STRICKEN TOWN.
Almost Everybody in Pueblo Suffers
Personal Sorrow.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 11.-Deep gloom
has settled down upon this city today,
following the railroad horror which
shifted out 100 or more lives yesterday.
Many business houses are closed out
of respect for the dead.
The wreck victims will probably not
be the only ones, or the most to be
pitied, as already cases of total loss OF
mind, the result of the shock when told
of the loss of their loved ones are re-
ported.
All the citizens have Joined in one
immense funeral procession, winding
incessantly from one morgue to anoth-
Ell. The death list. as compiled from
the best obtainable information early
today, showed a total of siXty-six iden-
titled dead, twenty-eight missing and
six unidentified, making an even 100
lives lost. The list will probably be
added to during h day. The death
loss to Pueblo alone reaches siXty-hVe
lives, with forty id~entifications already
made. The search for bodies is being
vigorously continued today.
A city's Tragedy.
There is scarcely a person in Pueblo
who does not suffer a personal loss
from knowing some one of the victims
as friend. Entire families have been
wiped out, one instance being that of
j. @. Thomas, commercial agent of the
Santa Fe railroad, who together WIN
his wife lost their lives in the raging
waters. Many bodies have been re-
moved from the morgues to their Tor
mer places Of abode n preparations
for the burial begun.
Hundreds of people We're still passing
through the morgues today, some with
morbid curiosity, the others seeking to
identify the remaining bodies. AL
night long search was kept up and oc-
~casionally a body vas located, but IN
the darkness the work vas necessarily
slow.
Fountain river, the most treacherous

bodies were washed, had today faller

made the work of rescue eaeier. al,
though still dangerous from the quick,

the quest for the others.
