In the second year, from July 1, 1907,
TO June 80, 1908. the general subven.
tions to cargo vessels earned the year
before will become payable and the
commission estimates that these sub.
ventions will call for an expenditure

to new lines the second year will call
i'i vis'V'sN''f 'H' l'-
tainers for 100000 and an increase or
mail subventions 10 two existing lines

Inmates that the net cost TO the treas
ury will be s3.3l3,0O0. and that this

To opensRed Mountain Line.

Denver.-A Silverton special 10 the
Republican says: Otto Mcars, owner
and manager Of the Silverton North.
ern railroad. and of the Silverton a.
Red Mountain railroad, has arrived in
camp for the purpose OF taking steps
TO clear the Red MouSain road OF
snow and reopen the line for freight
traffic. For the last two weeks the
road has been out OF commission. II
will probably cost 1000 TO reopen the
line. but Mr. Mears thinks the end will
Justify the cost.
The mines in the Red Mountain dis
trlct are short of fuel, owing to the
early closing Of the railroad and the
Crawford syndicate alone wants 1000
tons Of coal. other mining properties
need coal and II is likely that the Red
Mountain railroad will be kept busy
as long as the line can be kept open
In hauling fuel and supplies to the
mines. A large force OF men will be
employed and II is hoped to have
trains running again inside Of ten
days.

FEDERAL LICENSE.
Secretary Metealfs Plan for controll.
inu Corporations.

Washington.-Vict II. Metcalf, sec.
retary of commerce and labor, in his
annual report, says: "The work of the
Bureau Of Corporations has developed
along the lines indicated in the first
annual report of the commissioner. Its
most important work of legal nature
has been the further study of the plan
proposed in the first report for the su-
pervision and regulation, by federal
license of corporations, engaged In in
terstate and foreign commerce. The
inadequacy of state Legislation to reg
ulate or control in any proper measure
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce has been most clearly dem
onstrated. The great railway systems
and the greater Industrial corporations
extending their operations through
many states, some through the entire
United States, are but nominally SUI
pervised or controlled by the states
from which their charters were OBJ
tanned. Some of these corporations
have shown not only a disregard for
state laws, but have become potent fac
tors in directing the political policies
of the state.
1.-THE federal license plan recognizes
that real supervision, real regulation,
can only be enforced by government
whose jurisdiction and power are great
enough to cope with the corporations
to be supervised q regulated"
"The number OF aliens who applied
for admission during the year-1 .02G,-
499-is in excess by 37,507 of the
number reported for 1882, the arrivals
during which year were in excess Of
those during any year prior to 1903,
and 213.G29 in excess of the arrivals in
1904. With respect to the sources from
which those immigrants are derived,
1t is interesting TO note that, compared
with the corresponding figures for the
last year. the quota from Russia in
creased 1886; from Italy 2S,1S3, and
from the United Kingdom 45,5i4. The
total number Of Chinese admitted to
the United States during the past year
was 1905"

DENVER sTockYARDs.
Control Will Pass to Eastern Men
January 1st.

Denver.-The Republican asserts
that on January 1st the Denver Union
stock yards will pass to the control of
the Chicago packing trust, popularly
known as the big Four" which re-
Gently secured the majority of the
stock OF the two big local packing
! plants. The Chicago trust has bought
sixty per cent of the Denver Union
Stockyards Company. 1t is now in
complete authority in the beef indus
try here. Those now in charge and
some of the stockmen state that the
change will be advantageous to Den
yer, that II means an enlargement OF
the stockyards, the working Of the two
packing plants to their limit and en-
couragement to the feeding of cattle,
hogs and sheep.
THE deal is not quite closed yet and
/ am not at liberty to be quoted said
one of the local men interested in the
transaction. But It will be closed and
the actual transfer will be made be-
fore the first of the year. There is nat
urally feeling against a trust, but /
believe the transfer will be beneficial
to Denver in the long run. 1t will stop
this slashing of prices that has been
going on. Yes, the men who bought
into the packing plants have got more
than majority of the stock of the
stoclyards country and its operations
will be controlled by them. The first
thing will be to increase the facilities
of the yards. We have been making a
good deal of improvements ourselves,
but the new men will need more ROOM
All the meat needed for the western
country will be killed in Denver after
this. Denver will be the center of the
sheep raising industry and you will
find that great many more hogs will
be raised. The Chicago men who have
been out here several times looking
over the whole situation have decided
that the territory around Denver is go
ing to be rich for the packing bust
ness"

HOW TO PRoLoNe LIFE.
Testimony Of Healthy oetosenarian
Vegetarian.

Our vegetarian friends are getting
fat, healthy and saucy. They eat no
meat and wax strong, and in athletics
they win prizes. The other night the
London vegetarians met at Memorial
hall, and the bills announcing the
meeting bore the legend: mot too old
at Forty! Still Young at Eighty"
The chairman was Mr.. G. p. New
combe, aged eighty, and around him
were gathered seven other octogen-
arians. blooming with health and
wearing buttonholes of carnations"
Mr.. Newcombe was wise and clipper.
He drew vivid contrast between veg
etarians and flesh eaters. The latter,
he said, were screwed up with gout
and bent down by rheumatism, while
their excited hearts gave them forid
compilations which an exasperated
liver turned yellow and green.
DIR. Mayor, professor of Latin at
Cambridge University, sprightly lad
of eighty, said he never sat down at
the "groaning board" laden with meat
dishes but that he felt as If in pill
lory. He had not touched tobacco for
seventy-two years, some cigars which
he essayed at the tender age of eight
years effected permanent cure Of the
tobacco habit for him. Th arose Mr..
T. A. Hanson, aged eignty-seven, a
younger looking man, and related that
when seventy-two years he broke
leg. 1t was the opinion of the doc
tors that his advanced age" would
prevent the bone from knitting. But 1t
did, and the injured leg is now the bet
ter of the two. When eighty-two he
broke two ribs. but they were right in
two weeks. He was sure his vege-
tartan life was to be credited with his
vitality.
Miss Warlow, aged eighty, had found
that when she became a vegetarian all
desire for wine left her. She did not
