wADLEIGH MAKES STATEMENT.
Regarding Change Being Made on
Narrow Guage-115 Miles
standardized in Few
Days-Poor Service
Yesterday,

Between some points on the mar
row guage yesterday there was no
train service at all. A train went out
from here yesterday morning as far
as Delta and returning did not get
here until ten O'Clock last night The
large forces of section men and ex-
ira hands worked increasingly Satur-
day and Sunday but it was impossi-
BILE to open the tracks clear through
to Montrose for broad guage trains
yesterday.
The following statement was made
by Frank A. Wadleigh, assistant gen
eral manager of the Denver and Rio
Grande, on Saturday night:
we are standard guaging between
Grand Junction and Montrose and
between Delta and Somerset. From
Grand Junction to Montrose is sew
enty miles and from Delta to Sumer-
set if forty-two and one-half miles"
Yesterday said Mr.. Wadleigh
"ffty-one miles of road was changed
from narrow to a strandard gua.ge
This was between Grand Junction and
Delta. Today we are working on
the North Fork branch between Delta
and Somerset and on Sunday the road
between Montrose and Delta will be
broadened. Beginning Monday trains
will be operated between those points
on the same schedule as now in eff
feet. but the equipment will be stand
ard guage instead of narrow guage.
Beginning Monday, trains be
tween Salida and Ouray will be sol
id narrow guage trains with parlor
cars. Passengers from points west of
Montrose will be required to change
cars from narrow guage to broad
guage at Montrose."
After the work of standardizing
the belt line is completed it will not
be necessary to reload the cars where
the narrow guage formerly connect
ed with the broad guage line, as has
been the case.

A. l.. LEON LA COSTE.
THE DIVINE HEALER.

A. L. LaCoste, the divine healer,
late of San Francisco. left this morn
ing for Montrose after spending sew
eral days in the city at the Western
hotel. He will probably return in
a short time when parties so desir-
ing may consult him. He spent sew
eral days in and around Whitewater
and it is reported that much excite
ment was created in that country by
the wonderful cures performed by
this noted French healer. "The deaf
were made to hear. the lame to
walk. He is a forceful and agreeable
speaker and held the close atten-
tion of an audience while he explain
ed the usefulness and virtues of his
wonderful discoveries. Many prom
ises were made which seemed utterly
impossible to believe, and when the
doctor invited those who were hard
of hearing to come forward and be
cured the following responded: John
Casio. Mat Casio, Alfonso Chestnut
and a Mr.. Smith. All were made to
hear low whisper in a seconds time.
"The doctor then called for the Grip
pies on crutches and John Stuck and
J. w Harris went forward. One be-
ing afflicted with that giant disease
rheumatism. and could walk only with
crutches. He was operated on with
out medicine and in twenty minutes
walked off the stage cured, follow
ed by the wondering crowd and the
doctor broke the crutches to piec-
es. Everybody was impressed with
the cure. DR.. Leon treats paralysis
catarrh, deafness, rheumatism. scrof-
ula, stomach troubles, heart disease,
liver, kidney and all kinds of chronic
diseases "

have received another flattering Of
fer for their ten-acre fruit ranch west
of town. They are again offered ST.
600 an acre with the privilege of
keeping the crop which will be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000. Mr.. Rich
ards got in on this place a few months
ago when the price was S6,500. A
little later Mr.. Warner got in when
Mr.. Thompson bought in a little later
the price had risen to $4,000. Now
it has scared to SO. 900. Indeed the
gentlemen have not decided that they
want to sell for less than $4,000.
The fruit shipments have climbed
higher this week. The Palisade as
packages a day, or nearly car and
a half. The Peach Growers associa-
tion now employs seven box makers
who turn out about 600 boxes day
tpiece, 5 cars of material are now
stored and seven packers are employ
ed. Tho number of packages every
day is rapidly increasing being for
the latter part of the week about
800. The Grand Junction associa-
tion is shipping 200 to 1900 pack
ages of fruit every day. One car of
paper was received last week and an
other one this week. Five cars of
box materials have been on the road
some time and are probably recelv-
ed before this.

laugh to remember what a botch 1 was
at that end of 1t. But the top notch
players. when you run them over, are
all born players, and the artificial play

always looks cowardly to me.
1.-The batsman who draws away from
the plate is always a perfect mark for
the pitcher. The tosser has such a club
Dist at his mercy and feeds him any
old thing that he likes, confident that
he will be able to fool the nerveless
one.
At like to see batsman stand right
over the rock and await the pitchers

a batsman's eye and his physical abil-
ity as to whether he'd better just meet
the ball with his bat or take a full

hit the way | was made to hit. Some
batsmen, however. go so wide of the
mark when they put their full force
into their swings that it's best for
them just to meet the ball and thereby
improve their chances of finding it.
1.-THE full force hitter is bound to
decrease his chance of mailing it by
the momentum of his swing. and some
naturally fine batsmen can't hit bal
loon when they put all of their power
into the swing.
willie Keller is one of the batsmen
who have just to meet it. He used to
try to soak it when he first began to
play ball, but he never got by that
way. Ills ScDeIile now Is 10 SEdD llle

ing that he likes, and his batting aver

suited for.
while l don't like TO see batsman
make Il mark of himself by falling
for everything the pitcher has a mind
to shoot at him. still l have good rea-
sons to hate to see a batSman wait too
long for the kind he wants or thinks he
wants
Il like to see a batsman take a clout
at every good one, irrespective of how
many balls and strikes have been call
ed on him. OF course when Il batsman
sees that pitcher is exploding it Is
his cue TO wait till the last minute, but
l believe in going after everything

Many Popular Devices.

One of the most popular devices for
the amusement of the children is the
athletic slide, and many boys and girls
find no end of pleasure taking the wild
ride down the incline. Equally as pop
ular perhaps is the giant strides which
are kept busy during the day. The
swings are filled, as are tht 'teeter-

the apparatus are enjoying themselves
