Telluride Journal.
Congressman Hogg, whose conser.
yative and commendable course in the
controversy regarding the empowering
of the interstate commerce commits.
sion with absolute rate making DOW
ers for the control of the railroads
has excited considerable comment, re.
turned last evening from several
weeks spent on the outside, on profes-
sional and political business. In the
somewhat elaborate discussion of the
matter of railroad rates precipitated
by recent enunciations of President
Roosevelt, in which he recommends
the amendment of the interstate com.
merce law so as to endow the inter.
state commerce commission with full
power to make rates on basis of so
much per ton per mile, whether the
amount he ten tons or 1000 tons, or
the haul hundred miles or thous
and miles, the congressman's attitude
has been that such an arrangement
would work irreparable injury to Colo
rado industries, and he appears to
the Journal to have taken the proper
position. With the privilege OF max.
ing reduced rates for heavy tonnage
hauled long distance denied the
| roads, Colorado and the West will be
shut out of eastern markets altogeth-
| er. She could not successfully com.
pete in the eastern fruit and vege-
table markets, and the thousands of
tons of steel rails which her mills
now send to the east of the Missis-
sippi would be cut off and the trade
given to eastern concerns.
In an interview anent this subject
the congressman says: THE news
papers and the agtators for rate.
making power for the commission
have misrepresented me. | am in no
wise opposed to the policy of Presi
dent Roosevelt on the question OF rail.
road rates.
| Il am not plugger for the rail
roads. as has been stated, but on the
other hand | believe in every reform
the president has been urging. l am
against rebates, against discrimina-
line nuisance.
| Il believe, however, that the rem.
edy for the evils should be put in the
form of positive legislation.
Il believe in the appointment of a
commission to regulate or equalize
rates. l see that one suggestion Is
that the commission be composed of
three practical transportation men
and three shippers. It is possible that
the idea may be very practical.
Il think the presidents ideas have
been misrepresented by the radical
| element. AS / understand it ne does
not favor the fixing of rates by any
government body. All that he desires
is to see them regulated or equalized
so that rebates and Determinations
will be wiped out.
But before shall advocate any OF
the apparent needed reforms on the
stump or before Congress l am going
to find out what effect all these
changes will have on the people and
the industries of Colorado. Whether
good or bad results will accrue to Col
orado from new laws and new regula.
tions for the railroads is question
of great Importance in my mind.

the afternoon. The Dejulio family
live in part of the saloon. and about
dusk Mike went through into the liv-

the stranger sitting in chair appar-

The Wool Trade.

The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter of Feb. 9th, says:
The wool market is slow, with
prices more in favor of the buyer.
Secured woods are offered at re-
duced figures and grease woods in
a number of cases can be obtained
at slightly lower prices than they
could have been secured for u
month or six weeks ago. Medium
woods are being offered at prices
which show n slight reduction and
quarter bloods are offered from
St. Louis, it is claimed, at less
price than was asked u month
ago. The volume of business ac-
complished during the past week
Is the smallest recorded for many
months.
The receipts of wool in Boston
this week amounted to 14,S40
bales, against 1891 bales last
year.
The total receipts since Janu-
airy have been 81 ,452 bales domes-
tic and 10, 1913 bales foreign wool,
against So, Isl bales domestic and
1900 bales foreign wool for the
corresponding time last year
The sales Of the week in Boston
amounted to 100000 pounds of
domestic and $4,000 pounds
foreign, making II total of 1885,
900 pounds, against a total of
,, $50, 900 pounds for the previous
week, and total of 3,O25, 900 for
the corresponding week last year.
The sales since January /,
amount to 14,Sl5,000 pounds,
against 81, 072, 900 for the cores

little story Of love and adventure:
At Cascade, on the Colorado
river, in Wcstirn Texas. few
days ago the elements combined
to produce one of the most appal.
ling scenes ever witnessed by a
crowd Of amazed and frightened
people. A vast forest Of cedar,
covering the mountain for miles,
had taken fire and n hurricane
was approaching from the south
west.
A cedar brake burns us if the
trees were saturated with oil.
When the fire spreads u little it
soon grows beyond human control
The people Of Cascade saw the
skies clouded with smoke, through
which they could see streaks of
red, and realizing what had hap
pened, they collected on the
bank to look on in fear and
amazement. 1t was known that
a party of wood choppers with
families and several hunters were
encamped in the mountains, and
when the people saw men, women
and children running along the
trails the excitement became in
tense. Cedar fires move faster
than n man can run, and it was
feared many people would be
burned alive.
Alice Myron, n young woman
we'll known TO every one in the |
terror stricken crowd, dashed TO
the river bank mounted on fine |
horse. HAS any one news Of the
fire." she asked. There was no
reply. The trembling girl looked
toward the bridge, half mile
away, and then turning her white
face toward thu fire, struck her
horse with her whip and plunged
into the river.
THAT is dangerous" said an
old fisherman. "What does it
81 can tell you," was the re-
ply of one who seemed eager to
jalk. Her sweetheart, KEENAN,
5pidron, is lying in II hunters
camp over there, suffering with a
'prained ankle. But don't you
ear; she is as brave as her old
daddy and she is riding Moon

girl, with her feet drawn up in
