NAY BUILD NEW LINE
Pres. Frost Of c. 8 N. Railway Co.
Orders Investigation Of Rus
seIl-Winthrop Line
NEW SURVEY TO THE NORTH

The petition signed by hundreds of
people asking that the Chicago and
Milwaukee Railway company build q
branch line of the road to extend from
Winthrop Harbor to Russell, Ill, has
been forwarded to President A. G.
Frost Of the company ard leading
business men of the city have received
letters from President Frost stating
that the company had received the
petition and will Immediately investi-
gate the proposition. Surveyors have
been sent5out by the company to make
a preliminary trip over the line and
it is expected that the report of the
company will be made within few
days. While che KenosIa merchants
have been urging the building of the
line the farmers in the neighborhood
have been at work securing the con-
sent Of the property owners for a
right Of way and it is claimed that
most Of the right Of way has been Sc
cured. The Chicago and Milwaukee
Railway company has shown will
y
lines demanded and it is very possible
that the line will be added to the sys-
tenn if the farmers are willing to give
the right of way. 1t is not thong ht,
however, that the managers of khe
company would be willing to build
the line if they were forced to buy
the property needed for the right of
way. While the Chicago and Mi1wau-
kee Railway company is pushing its
lines onto Milwaukee a telegram from
Racine states that work has now been
started on a new survey for an cleo
trio railway between Kenosha and
Racine and the surveyors of the COM
pany are now at work onsthe survey at
a point S miles north of Kenosha.
The Racine newspaper men we're
not able to find out the identity of the
company making the survey, but it is
thought possible that the surveyors
are men in the employ Of the Chicago,
Kenosha, Milwaukee & Lake Geneva
Railway company. representatives
o this company announced some tire
ago that they would make a pre1in-.-.
nary survey fora line between Keno
sha and Racine. The line is planned
Dy the survey to run between the
lines of the Milwaukee company man
z ed by John I. Beggs and the line of
lie Chicago and Milwaukee company.
The route passes through great deal
o. valuable property, and it is proba-
bic that the company would be forced
to pay heavy damages before the
route as laid out WAS secured.
President Frost is expected to come
to Kenosha on Monday next, for
conference with Mayor German and
the members of the special railway
committee, and Il is expected that he
will take up all of these side issues at
that time. 1t is expected that the
council will take some action on the
railway ordinances on Monday even
ing, as the aldermen are anxious to
get the matter out of the way. The
officials Of the Chicago, Kenosha and
company are also expected
to appear before the committee at the
same time.

Men who Handle Mail on Rural Routes
Hold Convention in Milwaukee
Rural carriers from various parts Of
Kenosha county were in Milwaukee
Memorial day in attendance at the
third annual state convention Of the
Rural Mail Carriers Association,
which was held at St. Charles hotel
with over 100 members in attendance.
Much business of importance was
transacted and great enthusiasm was
manifest. It was unanimously decid-
led to invite the National Association
of Rural Carriers to hold their con-
vention in Milwaukee in 1907.
The convention was opened with an
address of welcome by Assistant At
torney Price, and other addresses
were made by PresidentI. Ottum, Geo.
F. Page and Assistant Postmaster
Christian Widule.
A resolution that a committee be APP
pointed by the president to work in
the interest Of the association to Sc
cure better roads for the carriers, was
enthusiastically adopted. Ell. FL. Wind
sor, of Chicago, representing the
National Rural Letter Carriers As
ISOLATION, made an earnest appeal to
the men to help in this agitation, as
no class of men in the country has a
greater influence than they, who are
constantly in touch with the people
who are using the roads.
The principal address of the day
was made by Postmaster ID. @. Owen,
Of Milwaukee, who gave the men a
motto to follow and told them to write
upon their escutcheon the words:
Cleanliness, simplicity, exactitude
and speed"
An interesting historical review Of
the development and growth of the
postal department was given by the
postmaster, showing how the depart
ment had grown from IS postofices in
1889 to 1900 in 1901. From receip $
of $37, 900 and expenditures of SEC
an advance has been made to receipts
of $3.50, OC0,O 900 and expenditures of
$168, 100000 and from working force
of 500 to a total Of 2S0,000. Since
rural routes we're established by an
act of congress in 1897 the force has
been increased from 40, serving
4, 240 families to $4,000 routes sewing
8, 1872, $50 families, or about 1914, los
individual patrons.

Frank II. Haskell and several
other OF the Mesa county delegates
went up to Montrose yesterday morn
ing and returned last night.
Judge John Gray of Montrose,
placed the name of Judge Stevens in

Judge Caswell declining the nomin-

Judge Gabbert, as running mate, but
then the corporations have to be
obeyed and the judge is sufficient

Never did more disguised crowd
of Republicans leave the city of Den
yer, than the delegates to the Repub-
lican state convention. 1t is of course
good policy for the Republican organ
of this city to pretend that there was
no dissatisfaction with the nomina-
ton of Phillip b. Stewart for govern
or. But he forgets that the public
reads other papers and that his as
sertions don't have the ring of the
truth. He would almost make his
readers believe that William II. Cab
bert was the choice of the rank and
file of the party. When he knows. If
he knows ever so little about poll
tics, that his nomination was ram
med down the threats of that state
convention, by William G. Evans AMI

There was dissatisfaction with condi
lions that existed in the Democratic
convention, over the admittance OF
the Denver delegation to sit in the
state convention, but there is not any
considerable dissatisfaction over the
nominations that were made for the
offices of the state.

In advance of the races next week,
we want to butt in" on the work
of the directorate of the Fair and
urge upon them the necessity of keep
ing the judges stand at the races
clear of the gang of loafers. jack
horsemen and others who congregate
there and who have no business there
whatever. Last year the judges
stand was crowded at all times. to
the general disgust of the patrons
of the fair. The majority of the
men have no business whatever and
they should not be permitted in the
judges stand. The only people who
should be permitted to occupy space
in that stand are the judges. the time
keepers and starter. We offer this
suggestion. as il was obnoxious last
year to the public generally and
should be abated by firm stand
taken in advance of the races the
present season.

EVERYBODY WAKE Up.

On Friday September. 2sth. there
will arrive in this city an excursion
of prominent Denver business men.
This is the last day of the Mesa
County Industrial and Fruit Fair and
the excursionists will be present to
view the splendid display of fruit and
farm products, which will be on exhi-
bition.
Primarily the excursion is under
the patronage of the Denver Realty
exchange. one of the most important
business organizations of the city of
Denver and including in its roster of
membership men of the highest
standing and influence in the city.
The invitation to the Exchange was
delivered by Mayor Bunting at the re-
quest of the Chamber of Commerce
of this city and the officials of the
fair. At once upon the presentation
of the matter, the invitation was I'M
animously and most cordially ac-
cepted by that body amid enthusiasm.
The question which is paramount
terrain this body of excursionists?
We certainly cannot let such an i'm
important event take place, without
making the very best possible effort
to place the advantages of this city
and county before our guests. They
have recognized 1t officially as the
commercial center of western Colo
RADIO and it is up to us to make our
claim and their recognition of such,
good.
We urgently insist that every citi-
zen constitute himself committee
of one, aside from any action which
may be taken by the Chamber of
Commerce board of directors to
make the welcome extended to these
excursionists to this city, of undoubt-
ed cordially.
Every business house in the city
should remain Illuminated upon the
evening that the excursionists are in
the city. 1t would not be inapprop-
riate for the good people of the city
to illuminate as much as possible
their residences upon that occasion
1t will add much to the appearance
of hospitality which should be every
were present. There are thou
sand and one little ways also by
which we may testify to our apprec.
iation of the coming to this city OF
these excursionists and in performing
these little attentions. each and every
citizen may constitute himself a com.
mittee of one for the occasion.
Important action was taken last
night by the Chamber of Commerce
looking toward providing entertain.
ment for the event, but this need moi
in the least conflict with our person

on every citizen.

Some one is to blame for the con-
ditions that exist as regards the sup
ply of cars for fruit transportation
from this county. The two roads en-
tering this city were warned at the
beginning of the season or long in
advance of that time that, there was
possibility of an insufiiciency of
cars for the transportation of the
fruit from this section. Those in au-
thority who gave the warning were
assured that the companies would
be able to furnish all the cars neces-
sary and that there would be no scar
city of the supply of cars. There has
been laundering somewhere and only
for the coming of the rain of the last
week. thousands of pounds of fruit
would have gone to waste. because
of a lack of transportation. Another
year this must be remedied. Our
fruit interests are too great to run
the risk of having hundreds of tons
spoil because of means of transporta-
ton. The roads have had ample
warning every year and they can
make no excuse on this ground.
