Denver, Dec. 11.-Inz all probability
the Rock Island will come into this city
over a line quite different from the one
1t was expected to use. It has been
staked out from Limon, from which
point the tracks of the Union Pacific
are now used for both freight and pas
senger traffic, without the privilege of
taking any business at any point along
the SO miles run into Denver.
An Independent entrance here has
long been wanted by the Rock Island

building into Denver, trains will follow
the Colorado Springs to Resolis. 10 or
IL miles west of Limon. There the
route surveyed branches off toward the
northwest, passing about midway be-
tween the Union Pacific tracks and the
old Colorado G. Southern line and open
ing new territory.
The proposed right of way strikes the
Colorado & Southern at Melvin, about
10 miles southwest of Denver, from
which point, it is said, the Colorado &
Southern tracks will be used into the
city 1t Is pointed out by railroad men
in proof of this, and there in close as

The new line means the laying of

Brothers company in the investigation
of the route of the Topeka and Council
Grove Short Line, W. L. Taylor and
other local boosters Of the PROPOSE

Commercial club of Council Grove last
night. The banquet was held in the
evening" after the visitors had been
shown around the town and surround
ing country all day.
The trip to Council Grove was made
by the Dover and Eskridge route, and
the route inspectors met a hearty well
come at each stopping point. Dover
turned out in force to greet the WISH
tors, and delivered a banquet and num-
erous speeches of welcome. The same
kind of reception was encountered in
Eskridge, as well as at every farm
house along the way Mr.. Herbert was
well pleased with the route, and the
signs of prosperity and business shown
everywhere along the line of inspection
and expressed his satisfaction with the
Dover route upon reaching Council
Grove.
The return trip to Topeka, which will
be by way of Auburn, will begin today
and the party will reach the city Thurs
day night.
Mr.. Herbert will not give out his re-
port until he returns to New York and
confers with the other members of the

Through the efforts of his wife and

Mr.. Coulen has been engaged in the
coal and grain business here for some

100 JUSTICES RESIGN.
Governor Hoch VIII Have Hard Time
Filling Vacancies.

Governor Hoch's mail these days IS
flooded with letters from men who were
elected justices of the peace at the re-
cent election in which they tended their
designations. Fully q hundred of these
designations have been received to date.
Under the present conditions the Of
flee OF Justice Of a peace for townships
is not a particularly attractive job.
TAere ISL little or work for them d
do and few men seek the office. Most Of
those who are elected are placed on the
ticket by the local boss without their
knowledge or consent and they are
elected to Office as a matter Of course
Heretofore. they have been able to
dodge the issue by not qualifying for
Office, but in a recent act of the legis-
lature a fine was provided for any man
elected who failed to qualify. So the
methods they pursue now are to quail
fy and then tender their designations to
the governor, whose duty it is to ap-
point their successors.
From the number of designations
which the governor has already receiv-
ed he will have more than a bit of work
to do to find men to take the vacant
places.

Large Population Along Rock Island.

The ROCK Island claims a pOpuIa-
ton IN the towns along its line be-
tween Chicago and Omaha nearly as
large as the combined population
along the Northwestern and Burling-
ton between those points. AS the lat
ter roads have fast mail trains serving
their towns, the people along the Rock
Island are entitled to equally fast mail
service, and on December 16 the Rock
Island will put on an exclusive mail
train connecting with the Lake Shore
at Englewood, thus avoiding the car
riage of the mail into the center of
Chicago and out again, and reaching
Omaha in about the same time as the
Northwestern and Burlington trains.
The exact time of the new train has
not been fixed. Des Moines especially
will be greatly benefited.

Colorado Roads Change Basis OF
Charges on Live Stock.


Charges on Live Stock.
Denver, Dec. 1l.-Freight rates on live
stock shipped from Denver and Color
ado points to Missouri river common
points will be advanced about $6 a cal
en- January l, 1907
The Colorado Midland, Denver & Rio
Grande, Colorado & Southern and other
railroads operating in Colorado have
combined in an agreement to change
the mode of making rates for transport
ing live stock, and after the first of the
year system making rates based on
the actual weight of the shipment VIII
be put in force.
I'VE will make a charge on the basis
of cents per 100 pounds, and carload
rates will be abolished say the rail-
road officials.
This will cause a raise in the cost Of
transporting live stock from So to 50 a
car, the average increase in cost being
Sc car.
The present rate on car IS feet long
from Basalt to the Mississippi river is
$3.50. Such a car will hold $4,000
pounds with ease. and with a little
crowding the shipper can put $4,000
pounds in the car.
Under the new system $4,000 pounds
will cost him $91, but If %. 900 pounds
are put III the car, which is Invariably
the case, the car Will cost him $9S, an
advance of 81 over the present rate.
The same thing is true from all state
points. In some instances the advance
in rates will be much less than in other
sections, but stOcknen in every district
say they will suffer by the new ar
rangement.
From points IL miles east of Basalt
on the Colorado Midland a rate of 80
cents per hundred pounds on cattle has
been esta blished, and the 80 cent rate
applies from Denver.
The railroads threatened to change
the basis of live stock rates a year ago,
but for some reason they did not put
the new method in force. This time they
are in earnest, and have notified the
interstate commerce commission that
the new method will be put in force
January l.
The stockmen will no doubt take the
matter up at the annual meeting of the
American National Live Stock associa-
tion which will be held in Denver dur
ing the last week in January
