HOW POWERLESS

The engineering skill which puts
steel and iron bridges IN almost i'm
possible places. which lays railroad
tracks along the most perilous routes
the architects and builders who rear
sky scrapers to dazzling heights; the
steel ships of commerce and of war,
surpassed the widest dreams of the
past generation the marvellous swift
railroad trains: the development of
industry exceeds belief-of these
things man may well be proud. But
there is not a mart of trade. there
is not a manufacturing center Great
ed by the genius of industry of man
that may not be reduced by ruins in
a few moments If nature brings her
forces to bear upon It.. The railroad
track may disappear. the iron and
steel bridge may go down before the
forces beneath the earth
The sky scrapper may topple to the
ground as though they were so many
ant hills. the ships of war and of com
merce. anchored in peaceful harbors
may become the prey of tidal waves.
Nature in her angriest mood may
make the strongest and most impress
sive creations of man appear to be
the toys of prattling children.-Bal-

LAYING DOUBLE TRACK
ChlnceS For Bad Wrecks and Col
lisiOns Will Be Reduced to Min
imum by Denver & Rio Grande
Work Has Started.

1t is reported that the Rio Grande
will spend 100000 in improvements
on its road between Pueblo and the
Royal Gorge With the next few
months and that the improvements
will be commenced at an early date.
One of the proposed improvements
is to run double track from Can
on City to Swallows, a distance of
25 miles. Nearly all the trains run
ming on tht third division meet be-
tween Swallows and Canon City and
the change will not only cut down
the operating expenses but is calcu-
lated to greatly decrease the chanc-
es of wrecks and collisions.
While it is said that the wreck
at Adobe last March has nothing to
do with these improvements, it is
well known that the awful disaster
would have been averted at that
time with double tracks. Besides
the above double track it is said that
the entire road will be rebuilt and
Strengthened, and wooden culverts
will be replaced by cement struc-
lures.
The Rio Grande is now engaged
in putting in a double track system
between Cotton and Soldiers Summit
in Utah and will double wherever the
arrangement will cut down the op
Grating expenses of the road.
Another Improvement which Is
now under way is the installation o.
oak ties to replace the pine ant
spruce ones now in use. The oal
ties will be used on all curves
throughout the entire system be

A BIG RESERVOIR
TO BE BUILT
BY THE SUGAR COMPANY
Concern in Which R. P. Davies,
0. h. ShOup and Others Are In
terested Will Spend $500, 600
on Reservoir at Garden City.

The United States Sugar and Land
company of Colorado Springs, oper-
ating extensively in the Garden City,
Kansas district. has just decided to
construct 100000 reservoir %
miles west of Garden City, and bids
for the work will be asked for at
once.
The new reservoir will be five
miles long and one and one-half mil
es at the widest point 1t will have
a capacity in excess of 100000
900 feet of water and will furnish
supplementary irrigation to 100,-
900 acres of land, tile acre feet ca
pacity being 10000. Work will be
started next month, and the reser-
voir completed by Jan 1 in time for
the winter flood waters.
The fall of the Arkansas river is
seven feet a mile in that region. and
the ditch fall is two and one-half
feet, so that the reservoir waters can
easily be conducted eastward through
the sugar beet lands of the company
towards the huge refinery at Garden
City.
The refinery said to be the most
complete in the world will be finish
ed October LIST the cost being ST.
100000 The plant will be equip
ped with the new Steffens process OF
manufacture, and Its capacity viii
be 500 tons a day The company
has 6,4OO acres of sugar beet crop!
which will be ready for the plan
by October LIST and nearly double
that amount will be handled.
The United States Sugar and Lane
company owns $1,000 acres of lane
on both sides of the Arkansas river
in addition to $50 miles of main dit
ches and minor laterals. 1t will have
spent upwards of 100000 wheI
the reservoir is completed.
All improvements and Investment
have been made since tht organiza
ton of the company in August o

are the oily fuxes needed to reduce
this ore. Plenty of water power
near at hand and an abundance of
fuel. The only impeachment to the
successful operation of these mines.
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
This is still in our way, but we have
remedied a part of it and now have
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting

placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means to
bridge any necessary expense, but
only small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that as soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will Immediately place
themselves on paying basis. now
that the price of their products have

HEAVIEST EVER

According TO statements made in

heavier this year than ever before

port a shortage of cars to carry the
freight Calamity howlers can find
little of satisfaction to them in the
situation. The Colorado roads are
nearly swamped with business and
it is a difficult matter to get cars.
This is the season of the year
when the traffic is unusually heavy,
and it is the case every year that it is
hard to get cars, but this year has
seen a larger amount of business
than ever before. The roads are en-
gagged in moving some of the crops.

that branch alone. There is stock

Maysville, when, in a single night, IN
1852, fire practically destroyed the en-
tire business section Of the town. The
building in which J.. NJ was located
was burned, and almost everything he
had was lost. His escape from the

But J. N. is not now the continuous,
rapid wanderer of the years gone by.
Even his iron constitution has yielded
to times influences. He is broken IN

him on the occasional move. His
mind, more shattered than ever, is now
unable to carry continuous thought
for more than few minutes, yet his
memory of faces and names, which
was always one of his remarkable
characteristics, continues good. He

Is without doubt true. His mind has
been impaired since time before the

sation and his public speeches were
evidences of this fact. He could not
speak about anything intelligently for
long at time. For few sentences
he might give utterance to brilliant
thought, but then he would wander off
into maze of words that no one could
follow, or, at least, form into sense.
He would talk about lifting the VEIL"
