Beats 6eliamy's Time.

Utopia seemed a step nearer for au-
tomobilists in Chicago, when plans
were announced for an apartment
building in which every fiat will have
its own garage. Dwellers in these
unique apartments can step directly
from their living rooms into their mo-
tor cars, be conveyed to the street by
a mammoth elevator, and drive away
ssrenely, without having lifted foot
since they&entered the automobile
This plan is announced in behalf of
Laverne w. Noyes of the Aeromoter
company. The structure is to be at
Elm street and the Lake Shore drive
From the bottom to the top of the
structure, which is designed to be
seven stories high, with each floor de
voted to Il single suite, will run the ele-
vator, large enough to accommodate
the largest of automobiles for private
use,

for abuse, for Secrest himself had pro

With the CLEAN of a madman in his
eye, SecreSt drew his big colts revol.

the floor with TWO bullets in his body.
Patrolman Durkin, who had been try

rushed into the saloon while the gray
ish smoke was still coming from the
barrel OF the revolver. Secrest waved
the weapon menacingly, and Durkin,
knowing just how desperate Secrest is,
went to telephone and notified police
headquarters. An ambulance, patrol
wagon and a squad of police were hur-

MILLIONS OF TROUT

Fishing is going TO be unusually
good along the lines of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad in the next two or
three years. II is good every summer,
because for some years past the
streams have been Systematically
stocked all over the state, but it is
bound TO be better. More was done in
that direction in 1905 than ever be
fore. Maj. S. X. Hooper has been hav-
ing some figures made showing the
number of fish put out. In the year
1904 the road transported and helped
place 6,32G,O0O Young trout in the
streams. OF these 1890 900 came from
the state hatchery.
Last year the Denver & Rio Grande
distributed 100000 Young fish in Col
oradO and Utah. OF these 1867 600
came from the state hatcheries and j.,
702 900 came from the government
hatchery at Leadville. The fish are
put in when about two inches long and
big enough 10 care for themselves.
They were about equally divided as
