RAILROADS PROVING SLOW.

The Commission Is Waiting some
thing Definite About New Rates.
The railroad commission is growing
anxious over the failure of the rail-
roads to let them know something def
mite about what they propose to do
with regard to rates within the state.
1t was upon the understanding that
something would be done that circu-
lars 3O1 and 302 were withdrawn and
the litigation in the United States
court dismissed in november, nearly
two months ago. Since that time the
commission has heard nothing.
A short time ago Commissioner j.
M. Brown wrote to fourth vice presi-
dent j. M. Culp of the Southern rail-
way in charge of traffic and asked him
several questions as to what the roads
proposed to do with regard to rates
within the state. Mr.. Culp replied
that he would be in Atlanta some time
the latter part of January, and would
then confer with the railroad commits
sion. This is as near as the commits
sion has got as to what is going to be

ONE HUNDRED MILLIoNAIREs in COLORADO
That All Others in Vast Individual Fortunes NJ
Other Show Such Home Production of Wealth

Colorado is the state of vast indl-
vidual fortunes, outranking any other
state in the union on a per capita
basis. 1t has the further distinction
that most of it's vast fortunes were
made within it's boundaries, not alone
in mining, but in the cattle industry,
in realty speculation, in fruit sugar.
beet culture, potato farming, and in
manufacturing and other mercantile
pursuits.
Many people of wealth have moved
into the state in the last few years
and invested large sums in mining
corporations, in the stocks OF banks
and other enterprises, and are not In
dividually known to the commercial
agencies. Still another class repre-
sents the retired country capitalist,
who has moved from the section IN
which his wealth was acquired to Den
yer or Colorado Springs.

Ludce Parker was Affected.

The other day former justice Alton
B. Parker of the New York court of
appeals appeared before the court
over which he had presided for seven
years as an advocate, and he was Wis
IDLY affected. 1t is asserted that he
even blushed scarlet as he arose to
make his plea before the tribunal of
which he was so long the chief MEM
Der. A young attorney could hardly
have shown more embarrassment, and
the bench felt it necessary to encour-
age him with words of commentator
for his argument.

FISH WALKED TO MEMPHIS.
Young Millionaire Had Contempt for
His Daddy's Train and Hoofed Ii.

The distance from Nesbit, Miss, to
Memphis is twenty-five miles. The
other day Stuyvesant Fish, Jr., of
New York and several of his friends
were at Nesbit waiting for Memphis
train. Young Fish's father owns the
road. The young men were informed
that the train was four hours late.
Young Fish fumed and fretted, and
said some highly uncomplimentary
things about his fathers property.
Finally he burst out in anger, "Why,
l can walk to Memphis ahead of that
dad-dinged trainn' $50 you for $50, :"
said Mr.. Ewing, of the party. "You
are on" said Fish; you'll find me
at your house when you get there"
And Fish was off, counting the cross
ties. Sure enough, when Ewing got
home his young friend was there, tir-
ed, dusty and footsore, but happy at
having beaten his fathers train and
won his friends $50.

Who is the richest man in Colorado?
David Moffat, capitalist, of Denver.
The most conservative estimate of
$15, 0O0,0 900 was given by two persons
who would naturally be expected to
exaggerate Mr.. Moffat's wealth. On
the other hand, from those nearest
him, those who ought to know, and
yet would not allow an exaggerated
estimate to be given out, the estimate
was between 1926, 900, 900 and $4,000, =
600.
There are 108 millionaires, and if to
these could be added the names of
those who have left Colorado after
making fortunes it could easily be
doubled. The total wealth of the 10S
millionaires of Colorado aggregates
about $3.50, 900, 600. There is probably
no section of the world with popula-
ton of less than 900, 900 that can show
such home production of wealth.

A MODEL BUSINESS HOUSE.
An Advertiser Who Insists on Paying
His Bills Promptly.

1t is seldom that an advertiser
writes US asking for BILL wishing to
pay his account right up to date, and
the letter we had few days ago from
the r. T. Booth Company of Ithaca,
N. Y. making this request was quite
surprise to the Office force of The
News.
The bill was sent and we soon re-
ceived their check in full settlement.
We wish that all advertisers conduct
ed their business on the same methods.
1t is pleasure for us to say good
word both for the Booth Company and
the remedies they prepare-Hyomei, a
unique treatment for catarrh, which
cures by breathing medicated air, and
Mi-o-na, the standard remedy for al
stomach troubles.
The Booth Company, in order to
show their confidence in the merits of
their remedies, ask all druggist to sell
them under a guarantee to refund the
money if they do not give satisfaction.
Anyone who purchases preparations
made by the r. 7. Booth Company
has the positive assurance of one of
the most reliable firms in the country
that unless perfect satisfaction is Civ
en- the money will be returned.
1t is no wonder that with the bust
ness methods adopted by the r. 7.
Booth Company, and remedies of such
merit as Hyomei and Mi-o-no, that
their business is growing rapidly and
bids fair to be one of the largest in
their line in the world.

GOVERNOR WITHOUT COLONIES
Chief Executive of Illinois Will Worry
Along Without Them.

The new governor of Illinois, Mr..
Deneen, says he isn't going to have a
personal staff; that he will try to wor-
ry along without one, and will create
no colonies. Since there is nothing
in the law to require him to turn out a
bunch of colonies he will probably
have his way. But what can the man
be thinking about? Does he know
that the colonel on governors staff
is one of the most beautiful creatures
in the world, and that the distinction
is one of the most highly priced of
American institutions? 1t requires
something like 100 staff Solonels for
the state of Georgia, and Illinois is a
more populous state than this. The
gold braid manufacturers ought to
send a representative to argue with
Deneen and point out to
him where he is wrong.

Women and the smoot Investigation.

Washington dispatches say that the
attendance of women on the Smoot
case has greatly dropped during the
past week. AT the beginning of the
investigation there was as many
women as men to hear the testimony,
but when the evidence in favor of
Smoot began to come in, and witness
es testified one after another that the
Mormons were very good and moral
people. the interest of the women
suddenly fell off and they quit attend
ing A the hearing apparently they
wanted to hear how bad the Mormons
were, not how good citizens, friends
and neighbors they could be.

A SWELL NEW YORK EVENT.
Man With Social Record Gives a
Fifty Thousand Dollar Dinner.


A New York millionaire the other
day gave a $50, 900 dinner at the St.
Regis hotel to thirty-six guests. The
service in which the dinner was served
was of solid gold. No piece of porce-
lain was used where gold could posi-
bly, be employed. In writing up the
story the New York papers took pains
to explain that the host of the occa-
sion had been sued several times by
women for breach of promise, that he
had been involved in half a dozen
scandals and had been divorced from
a former wife. To judge from these
facts the dinner must have been a
very swell New York society event.
