To Improve Roadbed.

The Colorado & Southern is said
to be preparing to purchase 6,ooo
tons of steel rails from the Colorado
Fuel g. Iron company to replace rails
on its northern division. The new
rails will weigh eighty pounds to the
yard. Those now in use weigh fifty
two pounds. The cost will be about
sl75, 600.
The entire $50 miles of the divi-
sion will be ballasted with Sherman
gravel at cost Of more than 800,
600. The traffic on the road has
grown too heavy for the roadbed.
With the steady increase-in recent
years in the size and weight of loco
motives and cars, it has been found
necessary to improve the line. Ex-
tensive alterations have been decid-
ed upon by General Manager j. NJ.
Herbert.
About SIS, 900 will be used in i'm
proving the shops in Denver. No
extensions will be made.
Chief Engineer Cowan had the shops
built large enough six years ago to
allow for twenty years growth Of
the company.

following prayer for landlords: "The
earth is thine. O Lord, and all that Is
contained therein. notwithstandiDC z
thou hast given possession Of 1t to the
children of men to pass over the time
of their short pilgrimage in this vale Of
misery. We heartily pray thee to send
thy holy spirit into the hearts Of those
that possess the grounds, pastures and
dwelling places of the earth. that they,
remembering themselves to be thy ten
ants. may not rack nor stretch out the
rents Of their houses and lands nor yet
take unreasonable fines and incomes
after the manner Of covetous world
lings. but so let them out to others
that the inhabitants thereof may both
be able to pay the rents and also hon
estly to live and nourish their families
and relieve the poor. Give them grace
also to consider that they are but
strangers and pilgrims in this world

DIED FROM FALL
w. E. Haynes Killed on 0'Grady
Building.

w. E. Haynes the carpenter, died
at his home in Evans about midnight
Friday night, from injuries sustained
in fall from the roof upon which
he was working about three weeks
ago. Haynes was working on the
Jack O'Grady building, and in try
ing to swing himself up from one
scaffold to another, the bracket he
had hold of broke and let him fall
to the ground. He was injured
severely internally, besides having
one arm broken.
Deceased was up to few months
ago, contractor and builder in
Greeley, being associated with n.
w. Moss, who died last summer.
After giving up his business in this
city Mr.. Haynes went out on farm
in the hopes of improving his own
health, but the work was found too
hard and he moved to Evans.

GIVES NEW TITLE
Colorado Named as the Nations
Fruit Garden.

The year 1905 has opened up a new
era for Colorado. Never before In
the history of the state have fruit
shipments been so heavy. Within
the last mouth two new markets
have been opened up and shipments
of small fruits have been made that
hitherto never have been attempted.
With climate especially adapted
to the raising of nearly all kinds of
small fruits, this state is now be-
coming an ambitious rival OF CALI
fOrnia and Florida, to say nothing OF
those states in the east that have
supplied the small varieties and
peaches and apples.
Only two weeks ago Colorado ex-
perimented with strawberry ship
ments. A carload was sent to Kan
sas City, rushed through on express
time, and it arrived there in mag
nificent shape. The berries COM
manded good prices and won favor
in that market, but unfortunately
the experiment was tried so late in
the season that it was found impos-
sible to fill duplicate orders.
The last day of June saw still an
other experiment in small fruit ship
ments. The Green Hill orchards Of
Canon City sent car of cherries to
Chicago. This is the first time in
history that this fruit has been ship
ped that distance, and as it is going
through on fast time there is no
doubt it will arrive in the big
market in good condition.
With this new era of possibilities
opening up for the fruit growers of
the State, the present agitation for
government control of railroad rates
becomes local question OF vital i'm
port. II, as SO many experts con.
tend, the government fixing Of rates
will necessitate the institution OF
the distance tariff, Colorado would
ind its new prospects exposed to a
bitter and blighting frost. for the
distance from the big markets is sc
great that railroad rates thus based
would be practically prohibitive.
As conditions are today, the rail.
roads are making rates that permit
the marketing Of these small fruits
at distances far removed from home
From being question viewed ir
the abstract by the people of Colo
rado, as being one In which theJ
are not vitality interested, the pro
posed rate legislation now hits clos,
At home. 1t is worthy at least O
careful study.

Music in the Air.

In response to the petition sent to
c. B. Richardson, manager Of the
Frontier Day celebration at Chey-
enne, to have the Cook drum corps
stop over in Greeley to give a con-
cert on Sept. =, word has been re-
ceived here that this will be ar
ranged.
A petition signed by about fifty
Greeley business men was some time
ago sent to Mr.. Richardson request
ing that he arrange to have the we'll
known musical organization stop
mere on its way to Cheyenne. Mr..
Richardson responded that this
would be done if the train schedule
could be arranged. Now j. c. Fer
guson, general agent of the Union
Pacific writes that he will fix the
train schedule all right, so there
will be music in the air.

New Railway Folders.

The Burlington railway has just
issued two new publications. The
first is in the nature of bulletin on
irrigation, compiled from the latest
government report on the various re-
clamation projects and contains a
great deal of valuable statistical in
formation, as well as other matter
pretaining to the country that will
be benefited by the various projects.
The projects described are the North
Platte, the Belle Fourche and the
Crow reservation project.
The other publication is called
"The Cody Road into Yellowstone
Park" This gives brief, yet com.
prehensive description of the wonders
to be seen in the national park. and
along the new government road
opened up from Cody, Wyo.. to the
park. Both publications are neatly
illustrated and will make valuable
additions TO the railroad literature
of the west.

STARVED ON LOCO
Government Experts Mystified
in Loco Investigations.

Or. Glover OF the state experiment
station has gone down to Hugo to
make some post mortem examina-
tious on locoed stock. DR.. Glover Is
assisting Or. Marsh in the loco in
yestigation and confesses that thus
far the results have been all mega
tive.
About the only thing that we
have yet developed fully is that the
loco weed carries no nutriment Tor
stock" said DR.. Glover. lone
horse we have been feeding exclu-
siyely on "a loco diet died the other
dav and the indications are that he
died from starvation pure and SIM
pie. the weed not providing enough
nutrition to keep him alive. Aside
from this we have had no results as
vet. The cattle and horses do not
want the loco and will not eat it
unless forced to do so, but they may
take to it later. In my own mind
| am convinced that there is con-
dition known as 'locoed, and that 1t
occurs in cattle and horses that eat
this weed. AS to what causes the
condition or what connection loco
has with it, l confess l do not know.
We will find out about it before we
get through, however.
Large quantities of loco weed in
various stages of growth are being
sent to Washington for analysis, and
it is expected that this comparative
analysis may disclose something
later.-Record Stockman.

Tribune and Fourth of July
Excursions.

Compare the two excursions that
the Tribune has this season run over

How many persons who went on
the cheap excursion to Boulder did
not wish many times during the day
that they were back. home, or had
never started away in the morning?
There were from three to four per-
sons to each seat, and everybody was
stepping on everybody's else toes.
The last train finally came in at 2
o'clock the next morning, and it
will take at least week before
