RAILROAD SITUATION
GETTING SERIOUS

Telluride Journal,
To Telluride and Ophir. the most
serious phase of the tieup of the
railroad between here and Durango,
is the fact that it is impossible for
the mines to get their output to the
smelter Not less than fifty cars of
concentrates and ore are already tied
up on sidetracks between Pandora
and Lizard Head. and this number is
being added to at the rate of about
five cars day. Most OF this product
comes from leasers of moderate cap
ltal who find it necessary 10 turn
their ore into money as quickly as
possible
The long drawn out blockade is,
therefore, very annoying and may
necessitate a shutdown In some in
stances, or curtailing OF the force.
1t being the practice to saip ore
direct from the tram cars to the mill,
where it is treated and the conceB-
trates loaded in cars, the mines and
mills have only limited storage capa-
city in which to hold heir ore, even
Il they did not ne ID tne money to pay
operating expenses
The freight cars on ibis end, this
side OF the washouts, are not numer-
Gus. and this means OF storage is
practically exhausted.
1t is probable that the leasers could
arrange with the smelters to advance
sufficient money on the ore in transit
10 meet the more urgent expenses,
but the question of storage room IL
likely TO become annoying.
Railroad men, OF course, are reti-
cent, but parties who have come up
over the damaged track between
Dolores and Rico says the company
will do well II they get the road open
for traffic to Durango in u month.
Passengers coming over from Rico
last night had quite an experience.
There were only. four or Ave men.
The train leaving Telluride yesterday
morning was forced TO transfer at
Coal creek. six miles this side of Ri.
co. because of damaged bridge.
from Rico In boxcar and success
fully transferred.
Everything worked smoothly and
the train was on time until two miles
this side of Lizard Head divide, at
mile post so, where a rock and mud
slide four feet deep and eignty feet
long covered the track and. as usual
as fast as the muck was shoveled out
from below, more slid in from above.
SO the train backed up into tne snow
sheds on the Divide, and as they could
not get down to Rico. went into camp.
The passengers struck out down the
track on foot, six miles to opnir
Loop.
About o'clock work train came
along, which brought them into Tel
luride about II O'Clock.

MANCoS MAN HAS ACCIDENT.

A sad and almost fatal accident oc-
CURED near the station yesterday.
While Messrs. Faunce and McEntire
were driving along enroute to the
mill with a load of wheat one OF the
front wheels of the wagon struck a
rock and threw out Mr.. McEntire,
who was in the seat with Mr. Faunce.
He landed on his head and shoulder
severely bruising him. The hind
hind wheel passed over the lower
part OF mis- face. breaking the under
jaw in Two places. His ears were also
badly lacerated and an ugly scar was
cut just above the left eye. 1t was
thought at first that he was killed.
but he was later revived and as We
go to press this morning, is much i'm
proved. yet his condition is serious

FOR NATIONAL FLAG

J. r. Stahinecker of Silverton, has
new design for the national flag,
which he has presented to Senator T.

may be adopted at the next session

heterogeneous arrangement of the
stars, he has them symmetrically de-
signed, the center figure made I'D of
the original thirteen at the close of
the revolution. The twenty-taree
stars that form the circle around
them are those added between the
ratification of the constitution and
the civil war. This much OF the de

IN another column Is reproduced for
what it may be worth an alleged talk
with an alleged Greenville man about
the cotton association movement. We
do not know a great deal about Mr.
Harvie Jordan; but we certainly have
no reason to question his motives
That he has been frequently mistaken
there is no question; but when II
comes to his sincerity, we think he is
entitled to the benefit Of all doubts
There were politicians in the state
convention in Columbia, and the fact
cannot be denied; hut still even the
politicians cannot be entirely ruled out
Of an undertaking OF this kind. Their
talents are not so useful and valuable
perhaps as are the talents Of well
balanced practical business men; but
how are we going to get rid Of them |:
And if we do get rid Of them how dc
we know that we are not only just
making room for others of exactly the
same stamp. We are not going to say
that the News had no right to publish
such an article as we have repro
duced; but we do think that the
man who talks with so much wisdom
ought to have permitted the use Of his
name. Otherwise We may be inclined
to the conclusion, that maybe he is
only a politician, of the class he de-
cries 80 bitterly, and that his sympathy
with this movement is not so strong
as he would have the public believe.

Miss Fannye Smarr writes to say
that she has decided to withdraw from
the race and wants those Of her friends
who have been voting for her to know
that she appreciates their efforts In
her behalf. Miss Smarr is now third
in the running, and the effect OF the
diversion of the votes that have been
going to her will no doubt be watched
with interest by the other contestants.
An error has crept into the record
of Miss Belle Smith. On Feb. IA, she
was credited with 612 votes; on Feb.
II. she had 656; and on Feb. 81, ITO;
and on Feb. "a, $50. Investigation
shows that the loss Of 100 votes was
due to a slip Of the types, and the fig-
ures today are correct.
Sheriff Brown calls attention to the
fact that some Of the voters insist on
sending in coupons that are more than
ten days old; but Of course, he does
not count them. To count them would
be decidedly unfair to all concerned,
because there are now outstanding
more than enough Of these old cou-
pons to change the entire course and
direction Of the contest. No coupon
is counted unless the postmark on the
envelope shows that 1t was mailed
