Will REACH GULF JANUARY i.
Present Plans OF Colorado & Southern
So Provide.

Denver May 15.-President Frank
Trumbull of the Colorado & Southern
railway, says the extensions TO the
gulf of Mexico will be completed in five
months. and that by January l. the
company viii be running through pas
senger trains TO the gulf of Mexico.
I'VE will have direct connections with
both Houston and Dallas by Septem-
Der" says Mr.. Trumbull. we have
completed arrangements for running
through trains from Denver to Calves
ton by January 1. The work is being
pushed through as fast as possible. No
money is being spared
Many months ago the Colorado &
Southern purchased the Trinity &
iBrazos Valley railroad in Texas with
the intention Of extending that line so
THE Colorado & Southern could reach
the gulf. The northern end of the Trim
ity line begins at Cleburne, twenty-nine
miles south Of Fort Worth which is the
southern terminus of the Fort Worth &
Denver City railway. Traffic arrange
ments with the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
lF'e between Fort Worth and Cleburne
have been made by the Colorado &
Southern, so that 1t will not have to
build between those points. The Trinity
line is being extended from Its south
ern terminus, Mexia, through league
ito Houston. From Houston to Calves
ton, which is but an hour and hairs
iride, the Colorado & Southern will use
Iona Of the direct lines now in use. hav-
ling purchased an equal ownership in
the road This gives a gulf outlet.
A branch will extend from the main
1ine at league north to Waxahachie.
where the Trinity line Will connect with
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas for Dali
las. Traffic agreements have been
made with the NJ, K & T
It Will cost the Colorado & Southern
more than 100000 to reach the gulf.
LAS soon as that is accomplished it is
believed that President TrumbuH will
order the construction of the proposed
line through Wyoming and Montana.
which will make connections with the
proposed line Of the Chicago Milwau-
lyee & St. Paul. through Montana, to
the Pacific coast, and will give the
9. & S. an outlet to the northwest. The
Colorado & Southern will have the most
direct line from the northwest to the
gulf Of Mexico. and it win then no
doubt expand into a great railway.

The development of Alaska has
been one of the wonders of the age,
and it is certain to proceed still more
rapidly when the network of railroads
planned for the territory shall be CON-
pleted. The days of the Indian courier
and the dog team as the chief means
of communication are fast disappear
ing. The Yukon river is navigable for
many miles and has afforded means of
access to the interior, but it is frozen
over large part of the year and does
not reach some of the more important
areas. Several big steam railroad
lines in Alaska have been mapped out.
and before many years it will be pos
sible to visit and travel about the
Seward purchase" in drawing room
cars and with as much comfort and
even luxury as the tourist in any 9th
er part of Uncle Sans possessions
can command.

COMMISSION CUTS TARIFF
BADGER RAILWAY BOARD LOW
ERS GRAIN RATES.
Great Saving to Shippers of Wscon-
sin by Decision Reducing Charges
About One Cent a BusheI.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 1O.-Grain
rates for the state of Wisconsin will
be reduced practically one cent per
bushel by an opinion of the railway
commission, handed down Thursday.
This is the most important decision
that has ever been rendered by the
Wisconsin commission. The ord err
will affect all of the railroads operat-
ing in the state of Wisconsin The
matter was started by a complaint
made by o. G.. Kingy against the Wis
consin Central and later by a COM
plant of w. L. Houser against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, the
Minneapolis & Omaha and the Chi
cago & Northwestern. The matter
was conducted as an investigation of
grain rates between stations in Wis
consin and Milwaukee by the rail-
road commission acting on it's own
motion. The two complaints involved
grain rates from Colfax and Mon
dovi to Milwaukee only.
The commission notified the rail
road companies that complete in
vestigation would be made on their
own initiative of the whole question,
and the railroad companies appeared
at formal hearing July 10, when
sworn testimony was received at that
time on the matter.
The Independent investigation of
the commission with reference to
these grain rates dates almost back
to the time Of organization, and an
elaborate statistical compilation had
been made before the first hearing
The hearings in the matter Of pas
senger rates have contributed much
to an exact solution of the question.
The opinion states that the final ad-
justment of figures has not yet been
made in passenger rates.
In view of the fact that Wisconsin
will ship 175,O00,000 bushels of grain
this year the reduced rate will cause
large saving to the shippers through
out the state.

WITNESS A WONDERFUL MIRAGE
Canadian Shore of Lake Erie, Sixty
Miles Distant, Seen at Cleveland.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 13.-Residents
Of the Heights in the eastern part of
the city Sunday witnessed the most
remarkable mirage of which there is
any record in this part of the coun-
try. Wonderfully clear and distinct,
the Canadian shore of Lake Erie, 60
miles distant, was spread out before
them in the sky.
The phenomenon lasted for over an
hour and attracted the notice of thou
sands of people before it faded.
The inverted atmospheric picture
was so clear that the city of Rondeau
could be plainly seen, the church
spires and principal business houses
standing out in bold relief. Tall
trees and river emptyins into the
lake could also be seen.

Even a moments reflection ought to
show Bishop Fallows that the So
called extravagances of the rich are
not without their compensations. We
need not defend the giving of 10000
banquets or the purchase of $4,000
gowns in order to realize that these
are proceedings which put money in
circulation. If every rich man lived
as frugally as did the late Russell
Sage, for instance, a great many lines
of business would find themselves
fallen upon evil days. It is better,
from the standpoint of the ordinary
citizen, that the millionaire should
spend his money foolishly than not
spend it at all. The ethics Of the mat.
ter is another thing.
