GETTING TO BE FIERCE.
General Complaint Among Local
business Men Regarding the
Congestion in the Local
lards-Deliver-
les Delayed.

Grand Junction business men have
been up against a serious and continu-
ed freight congestion in the local
railroad yards. either a congestion or
the Inability of the employees of the
railroads in the freight yards of
Grand Junction to get the freight out
and in shape to be unloaded by the
transfer men.
Complaint after complaint has been
made. Some merchants have receiy-
ed goods after they have been laying
In the yards for n week or more and
then secured only after persistent
kicking and complaining.
The transfer men report that some
times cars of freight for local people
are not put in the proper shape to
be opened and unloaded until days
after the cars arrive.
This state of affairs has existed for
a considerable length of time and has
not given promise of being remedied
soon and the business men feel that
the matter should be taken up with

be asked that better service in the
handling of the local freight ship
ments be provided II possible.
This morning communication was
sent to President Jefrries. of the Rio
Grande system, asking him to take
the matter up at once.
The local business men feel that
such an important shipping point as
Grand Junction should not be allow
ed to suffer from n state of affairs
such as is existing today in the local
freight yards, il its prevention is
possible.
1t is practically impossible to get
Il shipment of goods from Denver or
some other point in a reasonable
length of time. the goods will prob
ably reach Grand Junction in good
time but the delay in getting the ship
ments from the local yards consume
more time than is required in bring

EARTHQUAKES.

Among the many strange relatton'
ships which earthquakes hold to vari-
bus natural phenomena there II possl'
bly, one between the times Of their oc-
eurrcnce and of Irregularities In the
revolution of the world. For many
years It has been observed that there
are slight but irregular changes In lati-
tude, or, In other words, the axis OF our
earth does not always point In the
same direction. The pole wandefs
about In a mean position, sometimes
in path that IL nearly circular, while
at others It appears to be exceedingly
irregular and even retrograde. The
world top is not spinning truly, but 1t
slightly wabbles. When the change In
direction Of its axis II sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. II a
swiftly moving body is,- 80 to speak,
compelled to turn a corner, that 1t
should be subjected to strains which
might result In yielding Is easily con-
ceivable. Regarded from this point Of
view, the times at which strata In
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by erratic movements
In the rotation Of our sphere. The
earthquake and the wabble may, how
ever, be due to common cause, and
the question therefore Is one which re.
quires closer examination.-JOhn Milne

A writer In the Nineteenth Century
tells strange story Of inherited
memories" The ruins Of IN ancient
Roman fortress rise from the grounds
Of Mr.. Phillips. A clergyman called
upon the owner one day and asked 10

distinct recollection Of living there and
that he held some Office OF priestly
nuture In the days Of the Roman occu
patton" said Mr.. Phillips. Zone fact
struck me as significant. He insisted
ON examining ruined tower which
had bodily overturned. There used to
be a socket In the top Of It, he went
OH, in which We used to plant mast,
and archers used to be hauled to the
top In basket protected with leather,
from which they picked OF the lead

A Good Horses Color.

A good horse cannot be q bad color,
II is said. 1t Is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
colors. Has a gray ever won the race.
or q dun or a skewbald or plebald?
Has there ever been a thoroughbred Of
the latter type? Quite black thorough
breds are rare, white still more 80,
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted Of public performers. The
"Stud Book" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex-
PLANTATION is, Of course, that the horse
is there described as he appeared as a
foal. An owner Of bay thoroughbred
looked up the "Stud Book" to find his
purchase pictured as chestnut and
complained to the men Of whom he
had bought the horse. The former
owner assured him that the descrip-
ton was correct ut the time It was en-
tered. Other owners, less certain as 10
what color may appear when the first
coat has been cast, have before now
made such singular entries as gray,
roam or chestnut" James Gazette.

The Polite BuPnan.

In the cities Of Burma, where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans. says the author Of BUR
ma, Painted and Described" they have
lost some of their traditional polite
ness, but in the country districts old
school courtesy is still the custom. An
English gentleman who had bought a
new pony was trying him out on q
Burman road when the animal bOlted
and ran ut top speed down a narrow
road. In the way ahead was a native
cart, In which was family party out
holiday makSlg. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart, threw his rider
into the midst Of the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his unexpect-
ed onslaught the Burman picked him
self up and bowed low. "My lord,
my lord" he said apologetically, 1.-The
cart should not have been there"

The Porcupine's Quills.

The spines are very loosely attached
to the pOrcupine. and they are very
sharp-as sharp as needle ut the
outer end. At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose Of dog
or the clothing or flesh Of n person
touching the pOrcupine and stick there,
coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
in catching hold with one end and let.
ting 20 with the other has sometimes
caused people to think that the spines
had been thrown at them. The outer
end Of the spines, for some distance
down, Is covered with small barbs.
These barbs cause spine once imbed.

Governor Cobb on the Sturgis Law.

Governor Cobb on the SturgtS Law:
Those Democratic papers which want
an expression of opinion from Republi-
can candidates regarding the Sturgis law
have been gratified by the candidate for
the highest office in the state, Governor
Cobb, who, at the Waldo County Re-
publican convention Wednesday, made
one of those outspoken speeches such as
he is in the habit of making-in fact,
such as he invariably makes. In the
course of it he talked of the Sturgis
law and the work of the commission,
and this is part of what he said:
al am glad that the legislature gave me the
power OF the Sturgis law. Without IL. could
have sat In my chair till died and could not
have done thing towards enforcing the pro-
hibitory law. The enforcement commission has
not, and ! say this guariedly. gone into any
county until the sheriff has said he would not en-
force the law. What would you do with such
situation II you were an executive! So long as
am an executive Of this state and so long as the
laws exist l shall do my best to enforce them
all"
No doubtful sound or lack of explicit
statement as to what he thinks about
the Sturgis law.
1.-THE enforcement commission has not
gone into any county until the sheriff
has said he would not enforce the law"
The enforcement commission is in Ok
ford County, and has been for months.
The conclusion is plain.
