EXTENSION.
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railway to the
Coast.

Chicago Chronicle: When the Union
Pacific railIo Ioad was completed with
government assistance it was almost
universally held that the enterprise
would not be duplicated within the
memory of living men.
The baIrenness of the country be-
tween the Missouri river and the Pa
cific cast, it was said, was barrier to
further railroad building. The con
quest of the Rocky mountains second
time was declared to be all but impossi.
BILE. There was no other pass through
which another road could cross the
mountains
Today there are six transcontinental
lines. Three years hence perhaps
even sooner - there will be seven. The
Pacific extension Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway will be
the new link of steel to bind the wes-
tern coast ef the country to the lands
on the hither side of the Missouri. The
enterprise is already assured of success
full completion.
The lands which were pronounced
barren forty years ago nave plossoineo
as the rose. The passes of the noun
tains have been found Throughout
the entire route of The st. Paul exten-
sion rich and developed country
awaits the advent of the locomotive
Engineering difficulties have been met
and overcome. The road is certain tc
be on paying basis from the first.
The enterprise means much FOL
the Pacific coast, more for the
Puget sound region and most for Chi
cago. A direct line to the northwes1
will undoub btedly develop trade not on
ly with the Pacific coast, but with the
orient. The assurance is confirmed by
the known energy, activity and pro-
gressiveness of The ST. Paul manage
ment, which will undoubtedly carry to
the Pacific coast the policy of enlight-
ened enterprise which has placed j,
among the first of Americas great rail
road systems.
The new line to the coast signifies
progress fer the whole middle west.

THB RANGE.
Adjusting Differences Between
Cattlemen and Homestead
ers in New Counties.

Pierre. April 20. 2.-Under the decision
Of the supreme court today the stock
interests evidently stole march on the
homesteaders in the last legislative
session, when they proposed a compro-
mise measure between the wiping out
of the range and the continuance of it..
The compromise requires the question
to be submitted to the voters of the
different counties, the free range to be
cut out on vote to that effect. If the
homesteaders had ''stcod pat" they
might have been defeated on their law
to wipe out the free range but now,
under the court decision. they would
be in control. The stock interests were
advised by their attorneys that their
case was not very favorable one for
them, and got the compromise.
The opinion Of the court was based
on provision of the statutes which
was not raised by the attorney in the
case. They brought up the case on
constitutional grounds and on the
validity of discriminatory statute,
which did not apply with equal force
to the whole state. The holding of the
court is that the old free range law
could not apply to Lyman county, as it
was never specifically mentioned in any
of the statutes relating to range. The
attempt to cover Lyman, Stanley and por
tions cf Meade and Pennington counties
was to amend the existing law to cover
territory in unorganized counties gen
really, and in all counties organized
after 1885. The court holds on this
that as long as Lyman county was not
specifically named the law cannot be
made to apply to that county. The
same provision would apply with equal
force to other counties not specifically
named.
Stockmen say the homesteaders are
keeping their stock on the run by the
aid of dogs and cutting all the profit
from then, and while the law is in
favor of the stockmen the facts as they
actually exist are against tlen. In
Lyman county petitions are being cir.
culated to try vote under the pro-
visions of the new law, and regardless
Of legislation or no legislation on the
subject the country will have to change
from range stock to the dairy COW and
farmer.

GOOD cHoNcEs IN
SOUTH AMERICA.

Denver, Nov. 26.-W. l.. Slavin,
mine owner from Chill, is in Denver for
week S stay, and he has many things
of interest to say on the conditions pre-
valling in the South American country.
Mr.. Slavin emigrated from Ireland to
Chill ten years ago. He left Ireland
in his twenty fifth year. In speaking
of Chill and her mines yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Slavin said:
Everything in the South American
country is advancing at marvelously
swift rate and | believe it is the land
of the future for the young man who
has few hundred dollars to stave off
the first few months of starvation But
for a young man to go there without a
cent and with no prospect of getting
work is sheer foolishness in my mind.
"There is one thing that is surpris-
ing to the newcomer in Chill and it is
the fact that criminals of all sorts who
act in the rural and wild districts are
practically immune from punishment
and oftentimcs no effort whatever is
made to hunt down murderers. | re
member one instance in particular
when ! first came to Chill. The man
ager of the mine wherein | was work
ing was shot and killed by miner
The police authorities were notified but
passed the matter up with promises and
that was the last heard of it.
From Denver l shall make the trip
to Ireland by way of New York and
will remain there until after Christmas
when ! will return to Chilli

STANDARD OILS DIVIDENDS.

New York, Nov 26.-Stockholders of
the STANDARD Oil company today re-
eeived their quarterly dividend checks
amounting to $40 share on their hold
ings. The dividend makes $40 for the
year, compared with the same rate for
1906 and 1905.
The present year completes ten years
of existence for the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey The dividends
paid by the company to date counting
the capital at $97, 100000, amounts to
1898 100000. In 1905, before the fed
eral investigation of the company was
initiated, the stock was selling at $605,
yielding 6.61 per cent. Its highest mar
ket price was established in 1901, when
it sold at $S42 during the first week in
May. 1t was then paying its maximum
dividend rate of $4S per share and re-
turned 81 per cent on the market value.
The prevailing price at present repre-
sents paper loss from the high price
of 1901 of several hundred million dol
lars.

A JUBILEE AT STEAM
BOAT SPRINGS.

Steamboat Springs, Nov. 27.-Steam-
boat Springs had grand jubilee Mon
day night over a telephone message re
ceved from Mr.. deuel.. general man
ager of the Moffat road by f. w.
Whipple, manager of the Steamboat
Springs Stage company. announcing
that a postoffice is to be established at
larmony, the present terminus of the
road, and that mail will come to that
town for all Routt county points.
That means reduction in time of
80 hours, as by this route mail from
Denver win reach Steamboat Springs
in Is hours, instead of the As required
over the present route.
The people of Routt county few
weeks ago petitioned the postotice de-
partment for the establishment of an
office at Yarmony, and are delighted
over the response.
The celebration was one that has not
been duplicated here for a long time.
Whistles We're sounded, bells rung and
people crowded the streets, cheering
and listening to addresses. Altogether
it seems like getting into the union to
be brought 80 hours nearer to the rest
of the nation.

Miss Jennie Griffith, Of Colorado Springs, Cries
"0h, Will, May God Forgive you," and
Fires Bullet Through Her Heart
BELIEVED SHE WAS CAST OFF

Colorado Springs. Nov. 27.-Jennie
Griffith, the beautiful lS-vear- old
daughter of Richard Griffith, master
mechanic of the Colorado Midland rail
road, was found dead in bed at an early
hour yesterday morning, shot through
the heart, and a revolver grasped in her
hand. The coroner's inquest developed
the fact that the girl was enciente and
as she had lately been iilted by her
tiance, a railroad fireman, it is as 3umed
THAT he condition so preyed upon her
mind as to cause her self-destruction-
a few moments before she fired the
fatal shot her sister heard her crying
and say: son, VIII, may God forgive
you, for l cannot. You have ruined my
life and sent me to death.' The sis
ter, who shared the secret of the dead
girl, thought it best not to enter her
room just then: few seconds later the
shot was heard.

The new lodge begins with over 30
members, which will be augmented by
as many more in the next few months.
1t has been working by dispenAation of
the Grand Junction lodge for some time
but was chartered only last night. Sen

SCARLET fever
AT LAS ANIMAS

Las Animas, Nov. 26.-New cases of
scarlet fever are developing here every
day and the board of health is taking
every precautionary measure known to
prevent further spread of the disease.
A bulletin has been issued requesting
sore throat, a physician be summoned
Immediately to ascertain the exact ma
ture of the malady.
An order his been issued that all
dogs and cats caught in the streets be

was in the year 1887 that the light first
came to his eyes over the heather of his
native Scotland.
He appears today to be in as rugged
health as if in all his seventy years
he had been free and wild in the land
o. cakes by brae and burn, instead of
amassing millions to give away with a
conscience pang that it is not good to
die rich.
Mr.. Carnegie continues to give away
his millions in an endeavor to become
poor. but each year he is finding it
more difficult matter to bestow his
wealth judiciously. The gift of libra.
ries was great thing while it lasted,
and through this medium Mr.. Carnegie
managed to part with about $50,000,-
900 When nearly every place of conse-
quence in the United States and Can
ada and many places in Europe as well
had been supplied with Libraries, the
philanthropist capitalist conceived the
idea of the Carnegie pension fund for
teachers in colleges and schools, which
he endowed with $l0,OO0,OOO. Then
came the Carnegie hero fund. which af
forded an outlet for several million dol
lars.
Now, with his vast fortune ever
increasing, Mr.. Carnegie is somewhat at
a loss to find judicious outlets for phi
lanthropy and benefcence anywhere in
proportion to his income Though he
has given millions away during the past
twelve months, principally to colleges
and universities, it is probable that he
is richer than he was on his last birth
day.

SECOND CROP
OF STRAWBERRIES

Mr.. l.. D. Lee, owner of the Hoosier
ranch, marketed his last strawberries
from the second crop on the 10th of
this month, November, says the Fruita
Telegram.
The second crop was especially fine
this year, being larger and sweeter
than the first crop, many of them being
almost as large as a small hens egg.
The first crop brought him returns at
the rate of about $40O per acre, and the
second crop will run considerably over
that figure.
There has been nothing that has
brought our valley into prominence 50
much as the length of seasons. When
you see people sowing oats in February
land then again you see them cutting
oats on the 11th of November-the sec
ond crop-it gives you some idea of the
length of the season in the Grand val
ley. We often wonder what land like
Mr.. Lees is really worth. 1t would be
hard to put price on any land that
will produce as much from a crop which
takes such a short time to grow as it
does Strawberries. People often say
that it takes a long time to grow
bearing orchard; but it does not take
long to grow strawberries. There is
no land anywhere that will equal our
own Grand valley soil.

wilkins, Of Oakland, Buried
His Wife in QuickIime and
Man Missing
WILL RUN DOWN CLUES

Oakland, .'aiif., Nov. 2T.-Following
the arrest of NJ. A. wilkins of Elm
hurst, who is in the county Jail charged
with numbering his wife last July, a
woman's body having been found in a
shed in the rear of his home, buried be.
meath five feet of lime and sand, the
sheriff and other officers are now en-,
deavoring to locate the body of 7. L.
Kimmons, known as "Earl,'' who dis
appeared suddenly from the wilkins
home. 1t is suspected that wilkins
also murdered this man, who was %
years old and a street cal striker from
sym Fransicso. wilkins asserts, how
ever, that Kimmons recently inherited a
large fortune and is now living in
Houston. Texas.
Sheriff Barnett and fifty men arrived
at Elmhurst today and began search
for Kimmons' body.
An important development in the
cEse today was the admission by Will
kins that he was never legally married
to the woman who passed as his wife
and whom he is supposed to have muir
dered. He said: 81 met the woman on
train. She was broke and came to
live with me. She was between 30 and
35 years of age. She never told me
who her parents were or where she
came from; She said her name was Yer
ma Wallace.
Gas to how she died, l don It see that
it concerns anyone but myself.
81 was born in France of French
parents and have Travelled all over the
world.'
An autopsy was performed at Elm
hurst today on the body, and although
no official statement was made by the
physicians, it is said that traces of poi
son were found. After completing the
autopsy the doctors consulted with Dis.
trict Attorney Brown and told him of
their findings.
Find Bottle of Poison.
The discovery today of a bottle of
strychnine in the shed where the body
was uncovered has given rise to the
impression that poison may have been
the agent which caused the woman IS
death.
The authorities are endeavoring to
learn the name of the dead woman be
fore she was known as Mrs. Wilkins.
A description, with the name and ad-
dress, "Mrs. Carmen, 6s22 Washington
Ptrk, Springfield Tor Sheffiieldl, Mis-
souri, may be the clue which will give
to learn wilkins history.

all local churches devoted part of their
sermons to appeals for prohibition of
the liquor trade. The announced plan
of the influential dealers is first to force
