Higher Baggage Rates.

Denver.-Colorado is going to be
called upon to pay its share of the
losses by the railroads on account of
the Introduction of two-cent passenger
fares on the lines operating between
Denver and Chicago and st. Louis by
increasing the charges for excess bag
gage. A meeting has been called in
Chicago by representatives of all the
western lines, at which the question
Is to be discussed. 1t is understood
that they are planning to charge peo-
pie who have more baggage than the
free limit eighteen per cent. Of the
price of a one-way ticket, which will
be big increase over present rates.
Several months ago the railroads
were forced to put In two-cent per
mile rate in Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, illinois and Wisconsin, on ac-
count Of state legislation. Increased
excess baggage, rates are to recuperate
these losses. Colorado secured the ad-
vantage Of the two-cent rate in the
states east of here, but did not get any
reduction on rates within the borders
of the state. People will have to pay
the excess charges on baggage just
the same as in the states which se-
cured the twO-cent fares.

cr.a. institute for Colorado.

Denver.-Colorado, by reason OF Its
famous cliff dwellings and generally
vast and rich possibilities for archse-
illogical research, promises to become
the seat of the great Archaeological
Institute Of America, the center of In
terchange between professors Of arch
geology in the universities OF Europe
and OF this country, and from which
all researches in North, Central and
South America are to be directed.
There is a possibility of its being To-
Gated in Denver.
Within the walls of this Institution
will gather professors and students
from all parts OF the world to study
the ancient Americas and the history
OF their peoples az written upon the
rocks and caves, canons and ruins OF
the ancient cities. The work of the
institute has become 30 extensive that
1t now embraces branches in thirty
states and extends to Mexico, Central
and South America.
Edgar l.. Hewett, director of Ameri-
can Archaeology OF the Archaeological
Institute of America at Washington,
d. c., is In Denver looking over the
ground and studying the possibilities
Of locating the institute here. He has
Just concluded several expeditions, un-
der the auspices of the various West
ern branches, including the Mesa
Verde National Park, Colorado; Nc.
Elmo Canon of southern Utah, and the
Pajarito Park outside Of Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
As result Of his expeditions Mr..
Hewett declares that Denver Is well
located geographically for the insti.
tute and that the natural inducements
offered by the state will receive care
full attention. New Mexico and south
ern California are both in the field
for the institute.

OIL AND Gas 10 FOUND.
Eastern Colorado Comes to the Front
With Both.

With Both.
Denver.-"Ofl and gas in unlimited
quantity have been struck in Rock
Springs valley, three miles north of
Akron" said Robert H. Northcott, .
prominent Washington county ranch
man. at the St James hotel
And mind you, this Is in the very
heart OF the dryfarming region OF east
ern Colorado. Rock Springs valley is
five miles long and not over two miles
wide at its widest point. North, south
and west 1t Is surrounded by high
banks of clay. while Its eastern extrem.
ity slopes on into as fine farming coun-
try as can be found In this region.
Five years ago experienced reseach
showed there are thirty-two clays OF
creator or less value in the valley. and
oil experts declared that oil could be
found underlying these stratas
"A well was started in 1904 under
state supervision, the Legislature hav-
ing appropriated $4,000 for drilling pur-
poses, but the expense attached soon
exhausted the appropriation, but not
until a limited supply OF oil was OBJ
tanned at a depth OF 1,150 feet Last
winter a company was formed by Ak
ron capitalists and early in the spring
the work OF again boring for oil was
resumed, some OF the best known Oil
experts In the state being employed.
Work has been continued all summer
and despite numerous setbacks, plen-
tiful supply of oil and gas was obtained
at a depth Of 3,100 feet.
This means a new era of CONNER
cial development in eastern Colorado
for several factories for the develop
ment of the clays have already been
projected for next spring by eastern
capital. among them being one for the
reduction OF aluminium clay. several
banks Of which have assayed 25.4 per
cent. Of aluminium oxide.
There Is already in operation In the
valley q Fuller's earth plant, operated
by the American Clay Company. COM

ling. vice president; DIR. N. X. Morris.
Denver, secretary; c. Y. Mcclure,
Omaha, treasurer and general man
ager; ]. A. Hensler, Akron, assistant
manager.
1.-THE grade of fuller's earth turned
out Is the finest In the United States
and the demand for 1t far exceeds the
output, but the projected additions to
the factory next spring will more than
double the capacity of the plant. A
large brick plant will be built in the
spring, oil being used to burn the brick,
and as the superior quality of clay is
unequaled in the state, an immense
business in this line is looked for.
"The Burlington road has promised
to put in a spur track to the valley in
the spring, and what can not fail to be-
come one of the greatest manufacture
ing centers in eastern Colorado. II not
in the entire state, will be well under
way to completion early next year"

New York.-That William Jennings
Bryan and Lewis Stuyvesant Chanlel
will head the Democratic ticket as can
didates for President and vice presi
dent, in the next national campaign
is an assured fact, from the New YOrh
standpoint.
This forecast is based upon recent
occurrences. One, the formal state
ment made by Governor John johnson
of Minnesota that he is not and has
not been a candidate for the nomina
ton for president, and his declaration
that he knows that William J. Bryan
is, and has been, a candidate for the
presidency for the past three months
With Johnson, his most formidabl2
rival, out of the way. the nomination
Of Bryan, in the eyes of the leaders
here, is assured. That he will have
the support of Tammany Hall and
therefore will get the vote of Ne"
York state in the convention is also
assured.
The victory OF Charles F. Murphy a.
leader of Tammany Hall in the Demo
cratic primaries means that Murphy
and his friends will be able to control
the vote of New York state in the mex
national convention.
This means. 1t is pointed out, tina!
Murphy and his combination will be
in a position to demand some recogni
ton when the nominations are made
and that these leaders will demand
something substantial is certain. They
are now booming and will probably
continue to boom Lewis Stuyvesant

men and women struggled frantically
to gain admission and were kept out

the work to be done under the aus

expected THAT England will now do
for Memphis what the French govern
ment has done for Delphi and the Ger
mans for Olympia. The sites of the
four great temples are plainly marked,
so that exploration can begin at once.
This mass of ruins covers 100 acres, as

complish the work. Important ma

1t appears as IL the trusts are in the

merely mean little more regulation.
Trusts generally have their starting
point in Wall street. 1t is to Wall
street that the money earned by them
goes. Each trust industry means so
much more for the Golfers of the null

the people of the country have been

gers, and unknowingly have been
compelled to donate toward their sup
port. That the great mail-order con-
Germs in Chicago have been backed

decided to build up even greater in
the mail-order business, and one con.
