Of the railroad officials. Mr.
Corey says:
In the discovery and foster
ing of new uses for steel, |
thiuk you will agree with me
that the interests of the rail
roads and the steel manufacture
ero are IDENTICAL. The manu-
facture.o of steel in this country,
as you know. received its first
great impetus through the use
of steel for rails. Further
growth resulted from the use of
steel in shipbuiIding, pipe lines,
tanks, buildings, and last, a
great expansion from the intro
ductiOn of steel cars.
We confidently predict that
the next great step will be the
general Introduction OF steel
shapes to replace wooden
ties. BY the end of this year
the Bessemer and Lake Erie
Railroad Company expect to
have in their tracks 100000 of
these ties. which will cover for
tv two miles of track and
weight $3.50 tons, This expen-
diture is based on experimental
track laid by them in the fall of

tory results under the excep-
tionally heavy traffic of last
year. In addition experimental

COMING TO COLORADO.
Land Offices Show Large Influx Of
Settlers.

Denver.-One of the best evidences
of the influx of people to Colorado is
found in the land offices in the state
where entries are made by the new
Comers upon public lands. Reports
from the offices in Denver, Lamar.
Hugo and Sterling, where the lands
are mostly adapted to- agriculture
show a great increase in entries. The
number of entries in the Hugo Office,
which comprise the counties of Lin
coin, Kit Carson and Cheyenne, now
average 200 a month In the Lamor
district, covering kiowa, Prowers.
Bent and Baca counties, the number
reaches 100 monthly. In the Sterling
district, covering Logan, Washington,
Sedgwick. Phillips and part of Morgan
and Yuma countless the number is
from 125 to $50 every month. In the
Denver district, which covers the
counties north Of Denver-Weld, Lari.
mer and others-the number OF entries
averages as high as $50 every month.
Most of the new population is COM
ing from the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska
and other states in the West and mid
die West. The success of dry-farming,
the cheapness of the lands and the
abundance of crops last year are the
causes for the influx.

SAN FRANCISCO AID.
Interesting Statistics Furnished by the
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco.-Accordi to the re-
port of the statistician of the Southern
Pacific, that company, up to and in
Guiding May 18th, had handled free
into this city 1,G35 cars of supplies for
the relief of the fire sufferers.
Sixty-seven cities and towns Of the
Golden State gave carload or more
of provisions to the Southern Pacific
to transport to San Francisco within
ten days after the disaster. Hardly
less remarkable is OreSon's record.
Down over the Shasta route twenty
two Oregon cities sent carload or
more Of supplies to San Francisco be-
fore the end of April.
OF the eastern states sending gen.
erous contributions in carload lots, Ne
braska secured first place in the num-
Der of cities contributing carload or
more. Up to the end of April. twenty
three cities and towns in Nebraska
had forwarded carload or more each
of provisions for San Francisco
The largest single item carried was
flour, of which over G,000 tons were
brought to San Francisco between
April 18th and May 10th. In the three
weeks succeeding the fire the potatoes
delivered aggregated 1877 cars, or tif-
teen pounds for every inhabitant of the
city. Canned goods amounted to about
ten pounds each. The provisions and
supplies that had no other dcsigna-
lion totaled over 900 tons before the
10th of May, or sixty pounds for cv-

DANGER IN RUSSIA.
Parliament Votes Lack OF Confidence
in the Ministry.

ST. Petersburg.-At the end of a
memorable seven-hour session the
lower house of Parliament Saturday
Indignantly rejected the governments
policy as presented by Premier Gore
mykin, and. with only seven dissenting
voices. voted lack of confidence in
the ministry. This practically throws
down the gauntlet to the bureaucracy
with the demand for the retirement of
the present Cabinet and its superses-
sion by ministry approved by ma
jority in the House.
The spirit of revolution is in the air.
and a conflict between the crown and
the nation appears inevitable. While
the House avoided the appearance of
delegating an ultimatum, there seems
to be no alternative between surrender
and war.
The gloomiest forebodings are heard
and the general impression is that the
country is on the verge Of titanic
struggle, which may be delayed. but
not averted.

PRESBYTERIANS UNITE.
Joined in Presbyterian Church of the
United States.

Des Moines.-"I do solemnly declare
and here publicly announce that the
basis of reunion and union is now in
full force and effect and that the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church is now
reunited with the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America as one
church"
With these words uttered before the
General Assembly Thursday, May 9th,
Moderator Hunter Corbett officially es'
tablished the union of the Cumberland
Church with the Presbyterian Church
in America.
The big ecclesiastical assemblage
burst into a storm of rejoicing. Hand
clapping, cheers and waving of hand
kerchiefs gave expression to unalloyed
pleasure. The consummation devoutly
wished and worked for through many
years, despite many obstacles, had be-
come a reality.
The only men who voted against
union were Dr. William Laurie OF
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, and Rev.
Roger F. Cressey of Jacksonville, Hi
nois.

GIFT TO SCHOOL OF MINES.
MIR. cusgenheim Adds $4,000 to For
iner Gifts.

Denver.-Simon Guggenheim has
made a third gift to the Colorado
School of Mines, amounting to 100000
His first gift of $50,O00 was made
to the institution on Febraury IA, 1905.
Immediately thereafter the board of
trustees of the school had plans pre-
pared for building to be known as
Simon Guggenheim hall.
When estimates were received from
eleven contractors the smallest bid
amounted to $4,000 for the construc-
tion of the building. The board find
ing that it would be impossible to
erect building such as the institution
amount, laid the situation before tMr.
Gugsenheim, who instructed the
board to proceed with the construction
of the building npon slsr 1aininlam bid
Of the contractors and at once sent his
second contribution of $4,000, making
a total Of $4,000.
Mr.. Guggenheim recently visited the
school and was SO well pleased with
the appearance of the building that
he advised the board that it was his
intention to furnish the building
throughout. When fully completed, the
building and equipments will surpass
in beauty and utility any strictly ad-
ministrative building belonging to any
institution in the West. 1t is expected
that the formal dedication of the
building will occur next October.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
among the students of the School of
Mines and the people of Golden when
President Anderson announced this
third splendid gift from Mr.. Guggen-
helm. The various contributions en-
abled the board of trustees to con-
struct and equip the building through
out, with no expense to the state of
Colorado.

waters Of the Rio Grande river In Colo
RADIO for irrigation purposes.
In 1896 the Mexican government
made claim upon the United States
for 100000 damages for diverting
by irrigation the waters of the Rio
Grande. Pending consideration of this
claim the Interior Department re-
fused to grant applications for water
filings from the Rio Grande and
stopped construction Of the proposed
Elephant Butte irrigation enterprise.
which led to a long controversy III
courts.
In 1898 the Rio Grande Canal and IT.
rigation Company of Colorado filed an
application for a reservoir site and for
use of the Rio Grande waters. 1t was
rejected by the Interior Department,
whereupon Representative Brooks took
the matter up and appealed from the
decision of the department.. His ac-
tiOn was indOrsed at mass meeting OF
! settlers and lSnd owners of the San
Luis valley, held last fall, and since
that time Brooks has been labOrinS
with the Geological Survey, the State
Department and the Department OF
Justice to try and obtain recognition
of the rights of settlers to waters OF
the stream in controversy.
Thursday the State Department in
structed the Interior Department that
no further objection remained to
granting rights for reservoir sites and
an order was made by which the Inter-
ior Department will now admit all res
ervoir and canal filings for waters OF
the Rio Grande, pursuant to field sur
veyS based upon actual applications
made prior to 1908.
This action practically lets in all
the principal San Luis valley filings
and will prove source of great benefit
to residents Of that part Of Colorado.
A proclamation was signed Thursday
by the President for the opening of one

MORE GAME WARDENS.
Commissions Sent to Government FOR
est Rangers.

Donver.-Large numbers of game
wardons' commissions are being sent
from the Office of State Game and FISH
Commissioner J. NJ. Woodard to forest
supervisors and rangers in the employ
of the government. Under a late
announcement of the forestry depart
ment at Washington forest supervisors
and rangers must as state game
and fish wardens, and they are given
the same power as all other wardens
to make arrests without warrant. For
est supervisors have received instruc-
lions from the department by which
they are employed to furnish lists OF
the rangers to the state game and fish
commissioner, and as fast as these
lists are received the commissions are
being mailed.
All this means that in this state this
years and henceforth there will be a
much more rigid enforcement of the
game and fish laws than in the past.
Upon the forest reserves are squads Of
rangers who hereafter will be required
to keep sharp lookout for violators
of the law. Severe punishment will
be meted out to those who fail in their
duty in this respect.
