New Road Into Wyoming.

Fort Collins, Colo.-Judge Milliken
of Denver, United States Senator Har-
ris of Kansas and Colonel Nevins, a
civil engineer OF Denver, went over the
proposed line of the Denver, Laramie
and Northern railway between Fort
Collins and Laramie, Wyoming, re-
Gently in an automobile. They have
purchased practically every foot of the
right of way between Fort Collins and
Laramie. The right of way between
Fort Collins and Denver has not yet
been secured.
The line will run several miles east
of the Colorado and Southern, prob
ably half way between the Colorado
and Southern to Johnstown, thence to
Fort Collins. From here it will go
west one and a half miles, thence
north to Box Elder, then into the hills
across Dale creek above Christman's
ranch, up Fish creek canon and across
the Union Pacific two miles west of
Tie Siding. That town will be moved
to the junction. From there the right
of way goes directly to Laramie, Wy
oming.
A 40O-foot iron bridge will be built
across Dale creek, and another ten
miles north of Forks, beyond Red
mountain. Judge Milliken is president
of the road, and Senator Harris vice
president. The visit Saturday and
Sunday was made in order that Civil
Engineer Nevins could show the Off
cials the route to the right of way
that had been secured. The line is
said to be the connecting link between
Denver and the line now being built
by the Burlington south from Billings,
up the Big Horn river through Owl
canon to Laramie.
The right of way to Laramie has
been purchased, and incorporation pa
pers and mortgages on the road to
Laramie have been filed at Cheyenne

The Size Of Chicago.

Chicago.-The Chicago directory for
1907. which has just been published.
gives figures estimating the popula-
tion of Chicago at 1857 900. This es-
innate is based ultimately on the
United States census OF 1900, which
gave Chicago population of 1885, ,575.
The same rate of directory names to
total population that was established
at that time is used this year. The
total number of names in the directory
alphabetical list is 1877 400, an increase
over last year OF 21.300 names.
AS has been the case for several
.-ears, the Johnson family leads with
C.549 names. not including the Johns
ten clan, of which there are 545. The
Smith tribe follows second. with 4,S77.
and Schmidt 1,27S. Anderson is
third with 4.441. and Andersen 376.
The shortest names In the directory
are Elk and Ex. There are ten of the
former and six of the latter. Among
the names commonly known as jaw
breakers" the following are samples;
Zcysz and Szyszklawicz.

Something suggestive to young men
with artistic skill is to be found in
the recent decision of the secretary
Of commerce and labor, that owing to
the scarcity Of the supply here litho-
graphic artists may come from abroad
lnder contract. The lithographic COM
panies have been unable to find
skilled workmen enough at home. and
have had to import them: and the
demand for fine lithography is so
great that much work is sent abroad
to be done by foreigners on American
paper and American presses.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Under
extremely light receipts and q strong
demand. prices again ruled higher here
last week. the advance amounting to
fully quarter on good cattle. Steers
were very scarce and no choice ones
offered. Some fair to good grassers
from the Rifle district brought S4.45 to
$4.55 and eastern Colorado grass
steers sold at $4.25. but fancy steers
would have brought more money. Cows
were wanted and not enough here. One
bunch Of very fancy grass finished
cows. fed hay last winter, sold at
81 40, but outside of this one bunch
there were few good COWS here. Most
OF the fair kinds sold at 1925 to $3.75.
Common COWS moved more readily, but
1t was due to the scarcity OF good ones,
as the half fat cows are not killing
out well. Bulls were firm at $2.75 to
1910 for bulk. Veals In strong de-
mand and the market Csc to SOC high
er. best light weights now selling up
to $3.50. Feeder and stocker trade
was active to the extent of the offer
ings. but hardly enough stuff here any
one day to test the market. Buyers
hold liberal orders for good heavy
steers and are ready to take all that
come this way at good prices. Com
mon steers moved little better than
preceding week and the market on the
whole is in fine shape.
Receipts of hogs were 1000 head,
making total supply for the past two
weeks OF $4,000 head. The demand is
fair. with tops now quoted at $500.
Sheep receipts were very good last
week and under strong demand the
market was In good shape, with prices
firm to higher. Yearling wethers sold
at $5.6595.85; ewes at $4.75 to $500;
lambs at $725 to $3.50, and fair
wethers at $50 to $5.15. though choice
wethers would hav brought a little
more money.

Both sides Claim the Other 10 Weaken
Ing But Neither Side Gives Up.
Denver.-It is impossible to forecast
what will be done by the Denver &
Rio Grande at this time. There is q
possibility that the question may be re-
ferred to a general meeting Of rail-
way managers and the trainmen of the
West. Another possibility is that the
Rio Grande will grant the demand. and
third solution will be that the entire
question will be left to arbitration. Un-
til the conference is held and both
sides announce their position there is
little likelihood Of any sympathetic
walkout Of the Rio Grande men.
Grand Master Morrissey stated that
the conditions on the Colorado G.
Southern showed little change. They
are running their trains with about one
forth of the usual number of loads and
twice as many men as usual, and even
then you can't always tell whether the
trains will reach their destination or
not. A special passenger train was sent
out OF here to Fort Collins In charge of
conductor jerks and nonunion switch
men. The passengers objected to the
switchmen and they were put on the
train at Utah Junction. 1t made the
trip to Fort Collins and back without
any trainmen or switchmen. While
there was no violation of the rules of
the labor organizations, 1t was rather
risky for the passengers to travel on
a train without proper equipment and
crews. There are quite a number of
desertions reported among the strike
breakers"
The officials of the Colorado &
Southern report very different con-
dition of affairs.
Moving the Trains.
1--WE moved 200 loads in eight trains
out Of Trinidad Monday" said an Of
ficials. I'VE have no our full COM
plement of men and the place of every
striker has been filed. We have seven
teen engines working In the yard
Saturday and Sunday, which is our u.s.
ual number. We also had four working
at night Our passenger business is be-
ing handled in good shape We took
care of $500 people at the union depot
and sent the trains out on time. The
twenty-five men received makes all
that we need. Besides the eight trains
moved out Of Trinidad to Pueblo, we
had one from Trinidad to Texline, and
one from Texline to Trinidad We sup
ply every industry in Denver with coal
and there is no longer any danger of
them having to shut down. They were
taken care of in good shape
Vice President Parker was asked If
he would be willing to settle with his
men on the basis of the adjustment on
the Rio Grande. should there be one.
Il can't say whether we would or
not" was the reply. 1T would depend
on the kind of settlement the road
made with its men. At present there
is no need for us to make any settle
ment. We are doing business in fine
shape. l don't see how the Rio Grande
can very well grant the demands of the
men at this time"

May End c. 6 S. Strike.

Denver.-There is possibility of
settlement of the strike of the switch
men of the Colorado & Southern raif
road. e. p. Curtis, third grand master
of the Order OF Railway Conductors,
has arrived in Denver for the purpose
of ending the strike, If possible. He
has the full sanction of his organiza-
ton to use extraordinary means to
bring the switchmen and the managers
of the railroads together.
He will see both sides and endeavor
to arrange a conference.
