TO GIVE UP PASSES
Campaign is Started by Colo
RADIO RAILROADS

The political managers for the
Colorado railroads began Monday
moving for the adoption by the next
republican state convention of the
Roosevelt Nebraska railroad policy,
according to the Denver Times.
This means that no state office
holder shall have free pass, and
the adoption of the plank would
cause the immediate surrender of the
passes now held by the state officials.
The railroads argue that what has
been accomplished in Nebraska can
be accomplished in Colorado. They
also argue that what is deemed ad-
visable for Nebraska is good enough
for Colorado.
If the present scheme goes through
the railroads will save thousands
upon thousands of dollars in free
transportation to state otficeholders
and state lawmakers.
Governor Mickey and other state
officials in Nebraska have surrend-
cred their passes on the roads be-
cause the republican state convention
declared against state otficeholders
travelling on passes.
I'VE believe that we can force
such plank into the next Colorado
republican PLATFORM" said one of
the principal manipulators of Colo.

RADIO politics for the railroads Mon
day. ut would. be of tremendous
advantage to the railroads. Every
state official has an annual pass over
every Colorado road good anywhere
in the state. He also constantly de-
mands passes for his constituents.
Every state senator and representa-
tive also carries pass.
1.-The last session of the legisla-
ture saw the greatest raid ON the
railroads for free transportation in
the history of the assembly. The
members used to write down town
for passes continually and the drain
was simply terrific. Everybody In
the state got into Denver and back
home and the auditing books of any
of the Colorado roads will show an
appalling list of passes issued dur,
ing January, February and March
when the legislature was in session.
The ANNALS issued to the legislators
are good until January l next. Some
of tine senators are holdovers and
they are drawing on us pretty heavy,
knowing that we have to come in on
what they want, and some of the
powerful representatives who are
pretty sure to come back are doing
the same.
There is no doubt but what we
will have fight on our hands to
bring about the Nebraska plank In
tine Colorado republican Platform,
but we believe that it can be done.
Something must be done by the Colo
RADIO roads to end this tremendous
drain on free transportation and the
Nebraskans seem to have solved the
same problem In that state.''

MARKET IS ACTIVE
Decline East Causes Slight Drop
in Prices Here

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept.
1S.-All eastern markets suffered an
other decline last week OH account of
heavy receipts. The trading was re-
ported very active at the decline but
prices were off Is to 25 per cent and
in some eases ever more. A good
local demand held prices up here
very we'll. Up to Friday the market
was firm with good cows showing an
advance of 10 to l5 per cent. On
that date, however. buyers were able
to take off about 10 to Is per cent as
the supply was liberal and quality
not very good. The market closed
very nearly steady on choice beef
and about dime to Is per cent
lower on the medium and common
kinds Feeders and stockers were
also off about dime. Quite num-
ber of choice North Park steers were
marketed and sold at s4 to 81. rs with
the bulk of the fair to good killing
steers at So to $3.50. Some very
choice grass COWS sold up to $3.50,
the high price of the season, and a
number of sales were made at So to
So. 10. Most of the business, how
ever, was done around s2.35 to $3.50.
Bulls sold about steady and veals
were strong as the demand is very
good. Feeders and stockers sold
largely at So to 1885 with the COM
mon kinds and light stuff at 81. 80
to So.
Receipts here this morning were
about 1900 head, quality fair to
good but nothing extra. Buyers
were rather bearish because of the
unsatisfactory condition of the east
ern markets and prices were little
lower than last week. The drop
was generally expected as the values
here were considerably out of line
with those prevailing elsewhere.
The demand was good and the move
ment active as lons as the cattle
lasted Prices are still fully as
high. and in good many cases
higher than those at the river.

Killed on Track.

+. p. Duncan was run over by a
freight train at LaSalle at about s
O'Clock last Monday evening and in
stantly killed. His body was al
most cut in two in the middle.
Just how he got under the wheels OF
the engine is not known, but there
is little indication tnat he was
struck on the head by somebody and
thrown on the track. a cut above
his left eye looked as though 1t
might have been done before the
train struck him, and one pocket OF
his trousers had been cut out with a
knife or scissors, which might also
indicate that robbery had been the
motive.
Letters and other papers in the
mans pocket showed that his home
was in Monmouth, H., and that his
present residence was 2S60 Champa
street, Denver.

this matter carefully and always
keep track of the various reports
from all over the country. The
shortage In the crop will not be very
great, or enough to create potato
famine; but will be sufficient to
make prices very satisfactory to the
potato grower. In the Greeley dis
trict this year the potatoes are not
as large as they were last season, but
while smaller, will at the same
time be more expensive ON the
market. This, of course, is merely
a question of supply and demand.
Last year the district produced so
many potatoes and the prices were so
low that l think the estimate is con-
servative when l say there were a
thousand car loads of Greeley pota-
toes, intended for the market, which
were never shipped. The Greeley
potatoes naturally, because of their
fine quality, will always bring a
good figure if it is to be had, but
last year the market was flooded
with the product. There will be
much more profit to the producer
this season than last, and Of that l
am sure. 1t is always a good money
making proposition for the producer
to hold quantity of his potatoes in
cold storage and sell them late in
the season, but the expense of cold
storage is so great that this plan
cannot be followed without an eX-
pense OF such size as to make the
risk large one and very few of the
producers ever care to take the risk
involved when safe and fairly
profitable market stands open for
them at the time. Denver Repub-
lican.

AGREAT DEAL
FARMERS OF PLATTE BUY
BIG WATER SYSTEM
Take In Bijou Ditch and Will
Complete the Great Empire
Reservoir-Cost About
5000, 900

At a mass meeting of farmers hello
at Fort Morgan last Friday it was
finally decided to purchase the Bijou
ditch and the New Empire reservoir
site. The contract price for the
ditch is $l4O, 900 and it will take
about $3.50, 600 more to complete
the reservoir. The ditch belonged
to d. A. Camfeld and j. w. Nc
Creery. Of Greeley, Josiah Work and
S. H. Shields of Fort Morgan. The
reservoir belongs to Charles F. Tew,
John T. Warren and L. L. Stimson
of Greeley.
The above enterprises VIXEN COM
pleted will form one of the finest ir-
rigation systems in northern Colo
RADIO and will do more than anything
else to make the country of the
Bijou irrigation district prosperous.
There are about 10000 acres under
the Bijou ditch of very rich land,
which with late water will grow
as fine crops as any in the state.
The lands of this district lie imme-
diately west OF the Fort Morgan irri-
CATION district, where there are now
between 1000 and 5000 acres of the
finest sugar beets grown any place.
all made possible by the late water
from Jackson lake.
The New Empire reservoir has
been projected Tor a couple of years,
and has storage capacity of 500, 900, :
600 Gu. it., which, with the embank-
ment, can be raised to 1000, 900, 900
cubic feet of water. The lake will
be over sixteen miles around and
somewhat larger than Jackson lake.
1t lies about mile south of the
ditch and high enough so that every
bit of water can be run into the
Bijou ditch direct. The reservoir
will take its supply from the winter
waters of the Platte. the same as
the large JuIesburg reservoir, Jackon
lake and Riverside reservoir.
Engineers estimate the flow of the
South Platte in this section from
Nov. Is to March l at 5000, 600, 600
cubic IT., without touching the flood
waters. The storage capacity of
jackson lake is 400, 900, 900 cubic
feet; Julesburg reservoir, 1000, 0OO,-
600; Riverside, 800, 100000 already
built, and 200. 600, 600 proposed ad
ditional supply. This will in all
give a storage capacity of 6,4OO, ,0O0,-
600 cubic feet of water in the Platte
valley of this region, and will give a
new impetus to farming in the val
lev.

TALK CELEBRATION
Another May be Held in Greeley
Soon

There is considerable talk among
business men and the railroad agents
Of holding another festival in Gree
ley this fall. A subscription of 1925
has already been raised, and the
railroads are figuring upon what they
can do in the way of subscription.
The palm is, should something of
this kind be done, to make 1t a sort
of farm products exhibit, to be held
in Lincoln Park. Cash prizes worth
completing for would be hung up for
the finest potatoes, beets, grain and
other farm products. If the celebra-
tion is held it will likely be about
Oct. 25.
Nothing very definite has as yet
been done except to talk it up with
some of the merchants, and secure
pledges for the amount stated.
Some of the business men upon
whom will depend good deal OF the
success of such an exhibit are not
particularly enthusiastic about 1t as
it Is believed to be too late to do
anything this fall Farmers are just
head over heels in work with sugar
beets and potatoes and even day
lost will set them back with the
work.
The festival recently held, while
a great success locally, did but little
to help bring people to Greeley from
other localities. The railroads did
not have a chance to advertise the
affair for the simple reason that the
whole thing was gotten up haphaz-
ard, and it turned out much greater
than the promoters had anticipated
Now the railroads would like a
chance to show what they would and
could do to help Greeley in cele-
bration. 1t is a fact that the rail-
roads do more than anybody else TO
advertise the celebrations given by
northern Colorado towns. and they
would like to do the same for Gree
