Militia Reorganization.

Denver. May 6,-Colorado's militia
is to be reorganized under the provi.
sions OF the Dick act and Adjutant
General Wells, BriGadier General Bell
and Inspector General Sholz will plan
the work. assisted by General Cooper
OF the U. S. A. military adviser to the
governor.
The purport of the Dick law is to
organize the militia of the various
states exactly as the army is organ
lied.
The question Of armories at various
cities was discussed. The state should
own its own armories, but 1t has never
had the money and is compelled to
spend considerable sums In rent an.
nually. Propositions have come from
three towns in the state to build ar.
mories for the state. which shall In
time become its property. To do that
would involve a larger expenditure for
rent than has been customary. and
whether it can be done Is a problem
for the military board to solve. Prop.
ositions have come from Captain C. C.
Spicer at Colorado Springs. Major
Crary at Boulder and Captain Towne
at Greeley. Others even more favora.
Bile may be presented at the next meet

GORE CANON SUIT.
Federal Authorities Ask injunction
Against Moffat Road.

Denver, May THE second move
in the Gore canon controversy on the
7art of representatives of the United
tates government was made yester-
Jay when a bill for an injunction was
filed in the Federal Court asking that
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad be restrained from construct
ing its line through Gore canon. The
suit is similar to the one instituted
several days ago, which asked that the
right of way of the road be vacated.
This one Is little stronger. 1t de-
mands speedy action to prevent the
road from getting into the canon.
The papers were served on Charles
]. Hughes. counsel for the road. last
night. hearing in the matter has
been set for next Thursday before
Judge Moses Hallett.
Besides the road the Colorado-Utah
Construction Company is made a de-
fendant and various officials OF the
two companies are also included. The
bill is signed by Earl Cranston, United
States district attorney, and William
H. Moody, attorney general.
1t is alleged that the government en-
gineers had it in mind to make res
ervoir of Gore canon as early as 1901,
long before the Moffat road was organ
lied. The value of the situation as n
reservoir site is set forth and it is al
legged that it is the key to the water
ing of about 100000 acres in Califor-
mia, Arizona. Utah and Colorado, $4,000
acres being in Colorado alone. A mil
lion people could be maintained on the
lands now arid which this reservoir
could irrigate.
The road has three rights of way
surveyed, it is claimed. one going
through Gore canon at an elevation
above the proposed dam. another
around Gore canon and third through
the canon at the level of the river.
1t is claimed that the government
would be glad to have the road built
at the elevation above the dam.

Utah Railroad Automobiles.

Denver, May &C. o. Baxter, gen
eral manager Of the Uintah railroad in
Utah. is making extensive purchases
of new equipment for his road in Den
ver Among the equipment already
purchased are three Pullman sleeping
cars and three track automobiles.
Mr.. Baxter will use automobiles in
two ways. He will run one automobile
service as an extension of the rail
road from Dragon to Vernal and will
use another on the railroad track hav-
ing secured large autos with iange
iron wheels made especially to fit the
rails, this service extending from Mack
to Dragon.
The automobile trains will alternate
with the trains of railroad cars. The
autos are provided with a broad can
opy top and side seats. Each vehicle
will carry fifteen or sixteen passen-
gers. Running on level railroad
track, high rate of speed can be
maintained. The use of automobiles
on railroad tracks is the next thing to
the gasoline motor car which the
Union Pacific railroad had in Denver
recently.
