pENvER-GREELEY LINE.
Electric Railway Planned Between the
Two Cities.

Denyer-That northern Colorado
will be crossed by a number OF electric
railways within a short time is the be-
lief OF good many men who are
watching developments of that great
agricultural region. and there is one
project, says the Republican, that is
being quietly pushed along, but prom
ises to be carried out. Several months
ago ]. d. Houseman came to Colorado
from St. Louis, and after looking the
situation over, Incorporated the Den
yer and Greeley road, the object be-
ing to build an electric railroad be-
tween those two points. He soon af-
ter incorporated and has been quietly
at work.
Mr.. Houseman came West with the
reputation OF having financed and
f1oated several such enterprises, and
ciers. He has Offices on the fourth
floor of the Commonwealth building in
this city.
Mr.. Houseman has secured right
of-way $50 feet wide for over two
thirds of the fifty miles between Den
yer and Greeley. He has not found 1t
a difficult task, and in fact many land
owners have contracted to give the
right-of-way. knowing that the building
of the road will more than bring them
its value in the increased price of the
rest of their holdings.
The route of the proposed road is
about equally distant between the
Union Pacific and Burlington tracks.
and as it is intended for both freight
and passenger business it will give an
outlet to the fertile farms that now
have to team all products fifteen to
twenty miles to railroad stations.
How the new road is to gain admis-
sion to the city is not settled as yet,
but it is said that negotiations have
been opened with the Burlington 10
bring the trains into the union depot.
Negotiations are also under way with
the Northern Power Company to sup
ply electrical power, which it will be
able to do within the next six months.
This is only one of three different
companies that are now dickerinG with
the management of the power company
to supply energy for new lines of road
in the northern district, and Two OF
them into Denver.

Harvard Defeats Yale.

New London, Conn. - Harvard's 8
varsity crew triumphed over Yale
Thursday before the greatest crowd
that ever gathered here on race day.
Coming after years of defeat, the VIC
tory was particularly sweet to the
crimson. 1t was a great Yale crew
that Harvard defeated, crew that
had broken all records in practice and
went to the stakeboat a favorite. Har-
wards JOY is unconfined.
Harvard won, but Yale rowed race
that will live long in the annals of
college sports. Not only from the
start, but until the last sixteenth of Il
mile did the shells cease to lap each
other The men in the rival boats
could see each other for more than
three miles and n half, as first one cox
swain and then the other called upon
his crew. Harvard really got the lead
when the killing pace proved too much
for the Yale men. In the final spurt
Boulton and Noyes were done, their
oars literally slipping away from them.
Harvard won the race by less than
two lengths and a half Her time was
1902; Yales, 23.11.
While the crews had the tide with
them, they had brisk quartering
wind which made fast time impossible.
The record for the course is 20:1O,
made by Yale in 1883.

Latest Table Delicacy.

"Hothouse lamb Is beginning TO
appear on the menus at many of the
first-class hotels. A quarter Of hot
house lamb can now be bought, II one
is willing to pay four or five dollars
for 1t. But up to a week or so ago
the butchers refused to divide the
carcasses, finding ready market for all
they could get at from $25 to $50
apiece. AS such lamb seldom weighs
more than IS pounds, including pelt
and head. it makes the meat come
pretty high. "Hothouse lamb is an
answer to a demand for new kind
of edible animal" said butcher, but
its invention was almost an accident.
A farmer out in Kansas conceived the
idea that an animal could be pushed
in its growth the same as plant or
flower, so he took ten ewes and put
them in the cellar of stable, keeping
the place at a uniformly high tenn
perature. When the lambs were born
he increased the heat and fed them
all they could possibly eat. The
lambs developed rapidly and We're
ready for market six weeks ahead of
those born and reared under ordinary
conditions"

POWER COMPANY
WILL BUILD LARGE PLANTS IN
NORTHERN COLORADO.
TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY
viii Operate in Many Towns-con-
trolls Water Power and Coal Lands
lis to Furnish Light and Supply
Power for All Kinds of Uses.

Denver.-Work is progressing In
preparation for the installation OF the
great electrical power plant OF the
Northern Power Company, and indica-
tions are that it is going to be a much
larger affair that even l.. w. Henry,
its protector, anticipated.
w. w. Churchill, vice president, and
w. S. Lyford,. chief engineer Of the
Westinghouse company of New YORK,
have been in the city and left Few
days since for the East. They took
with them the plans for the power
plant that is to be erected at Lafayett
and for the transmission lines. w. l.
McClurg and w. NJ. Riley, construc-
tion and transmission engineers, who
came West with them, have remained
in the state and are working out the
details, such as locating the lines. The
management has decided to embrace
Fort Lupton, Brighton and Platteville
in the sections to be supplied with
power, which were not in the original
plans. This is the company which re-
Gently bought the Boulder and Chey-
cnne power plants.
1t is hoped to have the plant In
stalled by the LIST of February, but 1t
is no small task and will take consid-
cradle hard work A contract has re-
Gently been signed with the United
Power and Light Company at George
town to supply it with extra power.
This company has the electric bust
ness in Gilpin county pretty well in
hand and manufactures about 1,5OO
horsepower, but it can utilize more
and some 1000 horsepower will be
wholesaled and distributed. There
,,in h. will hn
Power Companys feed lines at point
in Boulder county.
The Northern Power Company has
made secure it's titles to more than
5000 acres of coal land in the vicin-
ity of Lafayette, where the power
house will be located. 1t has also Sc
cured itself an abundant water supply
by the purchase of Miller lake and an
other body of water of nearly the
same size. In addition artesian wells
will be sunk to make it a certainty
that there will be sufficient.
Mr.. Henry says the possibilities for
the use of power in agriculture in the
northern district are immense and
that the company is preparing to irri-
gate a number of tracts of land by
pumping. Between Evans and Fort
Lupton rlere is considerable under
flow of water, which has not changed
in many years. but what is needed is
some cheap power to raise 1t from the
wells and distribute it on the land.
This the power company can do
cheaply. In the vicinity of Barr lake
and also near Union reservoir close
to Longmont, are large tracts of land
that can be irrigated as soon as the
water can be pumped over the soil.
1t Is expected to bring G,0OO acres into
cultivation near Barr lake in this way.
All of this kind of pumping Will be
done early mornings.
Mr.. Henry has no doubt concerning
the future of northern Colorado and
Denver, which he thinks will be
brought into closer relations In few
years by means of electric lines. The
land is going to be cut up into small
farms and intensely cultivated, and
there will be large population.

ANTI-SALooN RAID.
Governor Hoch Of Kansas Smashes
Outlawed Joints.

Kansas City.-The anti-saloon cru
sade was given new impetus at kan.
sas City, Kansas. Wednesday, when
raids were authorized on forty saloons.
Joints as they are called. running in
violation of the state prohibition law.
Many of the joint proprietors hur-
riedly closed their places and some
moved. or made preparations to re-
move their fixtures.
Since the Inauguration of the pres
ent crusade, which was started by Gov
ernor Hoch. ten saloons have been
raided. To-day the liquors and costly
fixtures from three of these places,
valued at about $1,000. were destroyed
by Sheriff Connell on an order from
the judge of the Court of Common
Pleas. Last week the judge ordered
the fixtures burned at public bonfire,
but this idea was reconsidered and to-
day the sheriff and his assistants,
armed with axes and picks, demol-
ished the highly polished bars, tables
and chairs, bottles and barrels OF liQ-
uor. The fixtures and liquors de-
stroyed today belonged to three differ
ent brewing companies operating on
the Missouri side, and were seized last
week

RAILROAD WRECK
MANY AMERICANS KILLED NEAR
LONDON, ENGLAND.
TRAIN JUMPS THE TRACK

Twenty-Thres Passengers Just Arrived
from New York Among the Dead
List Includes Many Prominent Peo-
Pile.
Salisbury, Eng.-Driving at mad
pace over the London Southwestern
railway, the American Line Express
carrying forty-three of the steamer
New York's passengers from Plymouth
to London, plunged from the track
just after passing the station here at
1857 Sunday morning and mangled to
death in its wreckage twenty-three
passengers who sailed from New York
June 23d, and four Of the trainmen.
Beside those to whom death came
some Of them seriously.
Frederick Henry Cossitt, who was
married in New York June 18th and
who is among the dead. was the sec
ond member of his wedding party to
meet tragic death within a week. Stan
ford White, who was killed by Harry
X. Thaw, was one of the wedding
guests.
The list of dead includes number
of prominent residents of New York
and other American cities.
The late hour Of the New York's
arrival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried more than sixty travellers
for London, but many of them elected
to travel on comfortably to Southamp-
ton in preference to the late landing
ut Nd hn
across the country. If the New York
had made faster passage the somber
roster of the dead and injured would
have been longer.
A short distance out of Salisbury be-
gins a remarkable curve which some
times has been described as the most
dangerous in the world and which GER
tainly possesses elements of danger.
Not only does the line enter and leave
the station on a curve. but where IL
crosses Fisherton street, the line takes
a slight rise. 1t was practically at this
point that the engine jumped the rails
and brought about disaster, Doth as
regards the percentage of lives lost
and the extent of the damage to roll
ing stock, almost without precedent
