A TIP TO SHIPPERS.


The Montrose Enterprise discusses
the shipping interests of its patrons
as follows:
It hehooves the merchants Of Mon
trose to begin to look into the qnes-
tion of rate discrimination. When
the broad gauge is built and freight
comes from Grand Junction way,
rates may he changed to suit the haul
via that point. On March Is a rate
of G2 cents per hundred in car lots
was granted Grand Junction. as
against a rate of 65 cents for Mon
trose. yet Mon,rose is over 100 miles
nearer Denver over the tracks used
now.
BY reason of this distance this
point Is entitled to lower rate than
the Junction, and II the Commercial
association win go at the matter
right there is little doubt It could con
vince the freight department of the
Rio Grande of the fact.
Montrose onght to be distributing
point and iobbine point by reason OF
its location on the Western slope, and
proper effort would get results. The
matter ought TO be looked into with
out delay.

THE DECLINE OF THE
RELIGIOUS JOURNAL

Writing in Zion's Herald, the Rev
II. A. Bridgman managing editor OF
the Congregationalist, expresses the
opinion that the time has come when
the denominatlonal journal ought not
to he expected to pay expenses but
should be subsidized as are church
missions and schools of theology. Mr..
Bridgman believes that it would be
an "irreparable loss to our churches
If these papers should be obliged to
suspend publication. While the ex.
tinctlon of the denominational journal
tions are making 1t year by year more
difficult for the religious paper to
make both ends meet. People no
longer care as much about denomina-
tional differences as they did former
ly, and so feel less need of special
organ TO champion their particular
faith The daily papers are devoting
attention to religious matters and thus
enter into direct competition with the
denominational journal. Subscribers
TO religious papers are harder to find
than ever before and harder to hold
Summing up the difficulties of mar.
ketlng the religious journal Mr.
Bridsman says: I'VE do not appear
on the news stand or have our wares
hawked up and down the streets. We
have TO rely on the loyalty of our min.
lsters, and they often put the task on
upon someone else, and now and then
1t happens that the most difficult task
In the world is committed to the most
inexperienced hands. Now, that is the
way we get at our public. 1t is a
marvel that we do as well as we do
when you think of the ordinary meth.
DDS OF circulating the magazines and
the daily papers, which are foreclosed
10 us because we can not afford them.
lhe number of people is limited, to.
day, who are interested in religion on
lts formal, ecclesiastical, technical de.
votlonal and missionary sides. And
'hese are the sides of religion which

must largely exploit, however mucn

About one-third of those whom
we sent statement promptly
paid. which we appreciated, and
greatly disappointed in not receiv-
ing a response from every delin-
quent. And, dear patrons, we
make another appeal to yon

not like to do, but we are forced
TO clean up our books Of delin-
quent subscribers and will give
one and all an opportunity TO pay
before placing the accounts In
other hands to collect. The times
are good. money plenty and our
patrons should appreciate our po-
sition and not put us TO further

10 do without that which is due us.
Think the matter over and we be-
lieve you will agree with MS. Let

ANOTHER SHOW.

Bystanders and those who go to the
union depot on the arrival of all
trains. in and out of season. whether
the trains come or fail, were much
amused Saturday evening when they
saw property being unloaded from the
baggage car which suggested that the
merry-go-round or circus had ar
rived. An elderly gentleman who
might have been mistaken for Lord
Byron or Tennyson was standing near
10 oversee the work OF the baggage
smashers. A lady of medium age was
standing near while the telephone and
slides and other apparatus were being
bounced over the trucks to the knotty
platform, when the actor said in terms
which were not be mistaken that she
should go and watch the balance Of
the stuff. A little yellow dog, VINO
bore evidence of having travelled
much (having the hair nearly all worn
on mis- caudal appendage) had not
heard the conductor announce the sta
ton and was disinclined to alight un-
til assured that this would be the
place to stop. The actor was perturb-
ed in a degree that suggested either
loss of sleep or lack OF proper food
or stimulant and after he had pulled
the dog out by main strength he raved
at the lady to go and watch the stuff.
Reuben, the chief of the trucks, was
abjured to take Care OF the property.
and when last seen the actor replied
to plaintive query by the lady say
Ing, Where the - you will find
