FOR THE REUNION.

Chalk Beeson Will Look After the
Visitors Wants and Expenses.
On account of the success that Repre-
sentative Beeson had at the last session
Of the legislature ln that line, the reunion
officers will continue him on the ''re-
freshment" committee as chairman, for
the coming reunion.
Among the duties Of this committee
will be the looking after hotel aud res
aurant accommodations for the visitors,
and the committee will also endeavor to
see that no one is swindled In the prices
for such accommodations. The COM
mittee will keep posted on what Is.
charged at the different places in town
and will be able to advise the visitors as
they arrive.
Chalk Beeson is probably the best man
that could be selected for chairman Of
this committee, and this is one of the
most important things to look after In
connection with the reunion,

Moffat Road Excursion.

Residents of this section will hear
with pleasure of "trip over the
Motiat road Sunday, September 8,
which will be begun at this station
by the Union Pacific and the pas
sengers delivered to the Moffat road
in Denver. They will be carried
to the heights of eternal snow on the
Moffat road, returned to the Union
Pacific at Denver in the evening and
brought home in plenty of time to
get the usual amount of sleep.
The round-trip rate for the Union
Pacific and Moffat read trips from
Greeley will be $3.50. This includes
transportation to Denver over the
Moffat road and back and the return
home.
The Moffat road scenery at this
season of the year is grander than at
any other time. The leaves are Just
beginning to change from green to
gold and the sights from Denver to
the crest of the continental divide
are superb. The road has had won-
derfnl prosperity during the present
season, and has been patronized by
more tourists than ever before.
III other details of the excursion
are required, the Union Pacific agent
OF this station will gladly supply
this. 1t is the intention of the
Union Pacific and Moffat roads to
make this the most popular excur.
sion that has ever been run out of
this section of the state.

PROTECT THE PHEAsAhTs.

Last spring j. S. Flower & Co., of
Denver, who own large farm south
west of the city, turned loose num-
Der of pairs of ring necked pheasants
in that vicinity. These birds are
great breeders and already there are
dozens upon dozens of these noble
birds to be seen In the vicinity of
the Jones, Roberts and Mattox farms
southwest of town. Being a strange
bird in this vicinity some of them
are already falling a prey to dove
hunters The birds are protected by
law and they should have the moral
protection Of every farmer as we'll as
true sportsman. In few years If
properly cared for the county will be
full of them. They are as voracious
as turkeys, in proportion to size, as
destroyers of insects and will amply
repay the farmer for care given them
in making his crops immune from
bugs and hoppers.

cREELEY'S WELl-kEPT HOMES.

rhe late meeting of tho Colorado
State Commercial association brought
near 500 business men from various
parts of Colorado into Greeley for
couple of days, and to many of
them it was revelation in the way
of what has been done in the matter
of building up beautiful town in
the west. Other towns there are in
Colorado that have grown more
rapidly, other cities there most GER
tainly are with more public spirit
among their rich men, but surely
not one other city in Colorado or any
Rocky Mountain state exists where
each street contains so many we'll
kept lawns and homes. This one
feature was remarked many, many
times by the visitors and these
homes, many of them modest in cost
and dimensions, are Greeley's most
valuable asset, outside of the we'll
titled farms that surround her.

THE LEWIS KILLING.

The lamentable tragedy at Kersey,
whereby one man lies dead and an.
other Is deprived of his liberty while
two families are in deep SORROW,
points to more than one moral.
There is just one, however, that the
Tribune wants to dwell on for
minute. That is, the futility Of an
editor Of country newspaper consti-
tuting himself the censor Of the
morals OF every individual or a part
of the individuals Of his home VIII
lage. Editor Lewis had many
kindly traits, and was anything but
a bad man at heart, so far as learned /:
but he attempted, through his paper,
to go after every man whom he con-
sidered as not living a square life,
and his way of doing it cost him his
own Jffe. In campaign times it is all
right to call spade spade, II you
are really sure it is a spade, and
have the proof handy, but in private
life 1t is best for the editor, the er-
ring Individual and the community
that no mention of his shortcomings
morally be made until the matter
gets into court, then tell the truth.
A mans morals can never ee reformed
by calling the public's attention to
them by ineundos in the paper.
Some such tragedy as has happened
has been looked for by local news.

LARGE INCREASE IN
RATES OF HEAVY FREIGHT.

Philadelphia, Pa, April Under
the lead of the Pennsylvania rail-
road the trunk lines today raised the
rates on coal and other heavy COM
modities at an average of ten per
cent. Bituminous coal interests of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia had been formally in
formed that in making contracts for
the next coal year, which begins to-
day they should understand that the
railroads do not guarantee to con-
tinue rates previously prevailing. Be-
sides coal, iron ore, coke, limestone,
cement, sand, finished iron and steel
are among the commodities upon
which higher rates are now exacted.
The railroads concerned include the
Pennsylvania, Baltimore q Ohio,

RAILROADS SHOULD Be
CONTROLLED AND PROTECTED
President Declines to Address Illinois Manufacturers but
Sends Letter Outlining His Views Events he
Declares Have Justified Previous Stand

Washington, April president
Roosevelt in declining the invitation
OF the Illinois Manufacturers associa-
tion to make an address at Spring
field next week on the railroad and
financial situation, writes a letter to
II. Smith, president OF the association,
explaining that such an address by
him at this time would be useless as
his position was well understood and
that he stands by all his previously
expressed views
From an authoritive source il Is
learned that the president has not the
slightest intention Of taking any ac-
tion which would inValidate the rail-
road securities.
The presidents holds. on the other
hand, that every executive action OF
his administration regarding railroads
has furnished its own justification.
Neither has the president, 1t Is point
ed out, made any reference to the
physical valuation of railroads. hold
ing that the roads are capable of
working out the problem for them
selves.
Attention IS called to the fact that
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern already have submitted fig
uTes regarding such valuation. II is
also understood that the president
will again ask congress for power TO
deal with the over capitalization Of
the roads, which request was denied
at the last session.
The president in his letter To Smith
outlines at length his position on the
railroad and the financial question,
by means of copious extracts from
a speech ne delivered M Raleigh, y.

FARMERS LAUGH
At WALL
STREET
Secretary Wilson Says That
Frenzled Finance No Long
er DiSturbS Farmers.

Washington, April 1.-The pros
perity of the United States cannot be
destroyed by Wall street furrles. in
the judgment Of Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wilson.
Financiers have come to Washing
ton to consult with the president, and
have asserted that only good crops
during the coming season would save
the country from serious business and
financial depression. There will be
such crops, according to Secretary
Wilson.
mo longer can there be anything
like universal crop failure" said the
secretary yesterday. There Is no
reason to anticipate anything unusual
one way or the other this year. Our
people now understand more about
the growing of crops how to prepare
the soil, how to sow seed. and how
to cultivate plants and harvest grain.
The flurries occurring in Wall
street are not affecting the farm
population at all. Many Of the
farmers do not know anything about
them and IL they do, they think there
Is simply a manipulation of stocks
with which they are not concerned.
You cannot get the farmer to touch
anything OF that kind now, because
he does not know what the conse-
quences may be.
"a sad reflection on our railroad
stocks at this time Is the fact that
northwestern farmers who have made
and are making money know so lit
tie about railroad securities and
have so little confidence in them that
they won't toucn them, but are send
ing hundreds of millions Of dollars
across the border into Canada TO buy
land, which they know won't run
away"
The secretary deprecated the fail
ure Of railroads TO furnish transpor-
tation for crops pointing out that
many bins We're full Of grain az a re-
suit Of the lack OF transportation. IN
consequence money that would have
been paid for these crops is not in
circulation.
