Moffat 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-
nit to Mammoth and from Mammoth
to Denver heats a car wheel OF iron
to a white heat from the constant fric-
tion of the brakes. Unless steel
wheel is used the cooling process.
when the cars stop. will so impair the
iron as to make it dangerous to take
the wheel on another trip. Every
passenger car and freight car on the
hioffat 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 a success and source Of profit
as the passenger business has been

the appropriations made at the COM
ing session of Congress will be based.
indicate that the delivery in operation
at the end of next June will cost about
$4,000. .0O0 a year to maintain. 1t is
stated that in order that the service
may be extended in conformity with
the present plans Of the department
and what are believed to be the
wishes of both houses of Congress. an
additional sum of s6.O00.000 will be
necessary. The present plans contem-
plate a gradual and reasonable ad-
vance in the expenditures each year
until the grand total OF 100000, 900 is
reached. 1t is believed that eventually
practically the entire country can be
covered with a network of rural routes
in operation for this annual expend-
iture.
Forty millions of dollars is gene.-
ous sum. but in no other way. perhaps.
could the money be more advantage
ously and beneficially expended than
in giving to the rural communities
throughout the country as rapidly as
circumstances make 1t practicable, an
efficient free delivery service.-Omaha

esrnan Trade unlonosn.

Consul General Guenther at Frank
fort, has furnished figures showing a
remarkable growth in the membership
Of trades unions in Germany from
1894 to 1908 inclusive.
In 1908. he writes. the membership
of these unions passed the million
mark. In 1894 the total membership in
the empire was 246.494 Since then
the increase has been continuous with
the exception of 1901. when the mem
bership fell back about 5000 members
from the total of the year preceding.
Sixty-three unions had an income OF
81, 900, 900 In 1908. against expendi-
lures of $3274,000. The metal work.
ers' union had the highest receipts.
$67O.OOO The largest fund on hand is
that OF the printers union. about ST..
100000. The total funds of all the
German trades unions at the end of
1903 were a little less than $4,000. 900.

Russian Vessel at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-The Rus
sian transport Lena. Captain Berlin
sky, put into this port yesterday for
repairs. The Lena is thirty-one davs
from Vladivostok via Bayaniwa. SAX
halin islands. She made the run from
Bayaniwa in nineteen days. which Is
considered fast time, showing that the
Lena possesses speed qualities. The
Lena has n crew of 497 men and
twenty-one officers. and carries
twenty-three guns. She has three fun
nels and three masts. Captain Berlin
sky, who officially declares the Lena to
be a transport, states that her engines
and boilers are in need of repairs. Az
ter passing quarantine the Lena
anchored off the Union Iron Works.
where she now lies.
According to Brassey's naval annual,
the Lena was formerly the Kherson. of
the Russian volunteer feet. Brassey
refers to her as volunteer cruiser"
and also as a transport vessel.
Immediately after the Lena dropped
anchor in the bay, Captain Berlinsky
left the warship, but the object OF his
visit ashore was not announced. An
officer of the cruiser, however. stated
that the Lena left Vladivostok on
cruising expedition. hoping to capture
some of the transPacific vessels car
rying contraband of war.
1t was admitted that the vessel most
eagerly sought for was the steamship
America, of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha.
which company sent her from this port
several weeks ago for the Orient. The
America arrived safely at Hong Kong

May Keep Mountain Goat.

The troubles OF Charles Heinz Of
Creede. Colorado. and the little noun
tain goat which he picked up one day
near his ranch. are now settled. This
fact is great relief to the goat and
Mr.. Heinz and the Worlds Fair Board
of Colorado. particularly the latter. as
that institution caused the trouble.
A few months ago Mr.. Heinz discov-
cred a uttle goat in the mountains
near Creede. The animal had fallen
somehow from the cliffs above and
injured its nose. Mr.. Heinz became
moved with sympathy and took the
animal home to raise as pet.
Time passed and the goat matured
to a size which enabled 1t to butt
into the public eye with considerable
ease. In the course of time the
Worlds Fair board learned of its ex-
istence and made known It's desire
to send the goat to the exposition. To
this Mr.. Heinz acpuiesced. little
dreaming of the trouble that was to
follow.
The goat was shipped to Denver to
be turned over to the Worlds Fair
board. When 1t arrived here one OF
the ubiquitous wardens of the game
commissioners office discovered II and
seized Mr. Goat. The animal was after
ward turned over to the city park au-
thorities and has been there ever
since.

RoMAINE's ROMANCE.
Confessed Dynamiter Was In La Junta
at Time Of Explosion.

Denyer, Sept IA Republican spe-
cial trom La Junta says: Robert Ro-
maine, who has confessed to taking
part in dynamiting outrages at Cripple
Creek, formerly lived here. under the
name of l. o. White. From here he
went to Pueblo, and was sent to the
penitentiary from that place in 1901.
He returned to La Junta about March
2--i and secured board and lodging
at the Park House. He went to work
on the new Santa Fe shops. April LIST
he lett town, but returned again on
April 9Th and resumed his work in the.
shops. On April 23d he left the Park
house and secured rooms for himself,
vile. and four-months-old baby.
On May 9th he rented a house on
Smithland street, agreeing to pay for it
when he got his pay from the railway
company. He secured secondhand
furniture and Rev. Conrad Bluhm, pas
tor OF the First Presbyterian Church.
became his surety to the amount OF
$50. 1t seems that while Romaine was
doing time" at the Canon City prison
Rev. Bluhm preached u the convicts.
and Romaine remembered the sermon
in the penitentiary, and enlisted the
sympathy of the pastor. who assisted
him in getting the furniture. He never
paid the $50.
On June 1st Romaine was garnisheed
by the Park house management for his
board bill. which caused him to lose
his job. After that he did not work
here. He left about June 9th. During
the first week of June the Patterson
Brainard Carnival Company was in the
city and he was seen around the carni-
val every day and evening with his
wife. At the close of the perfoi nance
Saturday night, June 4th. Romaine
and his wife went home with some
neighbors. Sunday he was seen going
down town, and on Monday, June 9Th.
the day of the Independence explosion,
he was seen around the house by neigh
bors.
His wife was at one of the neighbors
doing some washing, while he was at
home caring for the baby. The baby
gave him trouble and he went to the
neighbors and cursed his wife because
she did not go home and care for the
baby. He left La Junta about June
9th, going east, while his wife re-
mained here until July 5th or 9th.
when she went to Topeka on pass
over the Santa Fe. which he secured for
her.
At the time of the Independence ex-
plosion Mrs. Romaine told certain
neighbors that she was glad he was not
In Cripple Creek at that time. as he
was a strike breaker and might have
been with the men who were killed.
They seemed to be much interested in
the affair and borrowed papers of the
neighbors to read OF it.
During Romaine's residence here sew
eral houses In this neighborhood were
burglaried. and 1t is presumed now that
he did the work.
1t is thought here that he hopes to
escape q penitentiary sentence In Kan
sas by being brought here. after which
he could prove an alibi.

WYOMING CAPITAL.
Lander and Casper Would Capture II
From Cheyenne.

The matter Of the permanent location
Of the state capitol will be submitted
to the people of the state at the fall
election. and Lander is to be a. candi-
date for the seat Of government. Lead
ing business men are now circulating
a nominating petition In the county
which will be filed with the secretary
of state at once.
The move is supported by the entire
population of Fremont county. and 1t
is said that sufficient support has been
pledged by other northern and central
Wyoming counties to Justify the belief
that Lander will be much in evidence
in the race.
Casper and Cheyenne are the only
other towns that have become appli-
cants for the capital. 1t is said that al
effort Is to be made to have Casper
withdrew from the race. however, leav-
ing Cheyenne and Lander to fight 1t

would win out.
Lander is beautifully located for the
state capital. Geographically 1t Is
nearer the center of the state than any
other town of any size. Lander is sur
rounded by fertile valleys. mountains
of mineral, covered with heavy timber,
and there is an abundance of water.
The proposed opening of the Wind
River reservation insures the building
of a railroad to Lander. thus giving this
city the only convenience that 1t lacks.
