voyage 10 San Francisco was made

date OF departure depends upon the
completion of target practice there.
For the same reason the date Of ar
rival at San Francisco has not been
determined.
The torpedo boat destroyer fiOtilla
will leave Hampton Roads December
End. and because OF their greater
speed, more limited draught and
smaller tonnage these boats will stop
at many more places than the battle
ships.
The stay Of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers at each port will be about
four Or five days. The itinerary con-
templates their arrival at the various
places as follows:
San Juan, December 7th; Trinidad,
December 18th; Para. December Goth;
Pernambuco, January 5th; Rio do
Janiero, January 18th; Montevideo.
January c5th; Punta Arenas, February

Francisco depend upon the completion
Of target practice in the bay. The
f1otilla will be commanded by Lieut..
Commander Cone.

Manitou Incline Railway.

Denver.-Artices of incorporation
of the Manitou Incline Railway Com
pany were filed Saturday with the
secretary of state. The company is
incorporated with a capital stock of
100000 and has purchased from the
Hydro Electric Company the cable
tram road running from ManitOu to
the summit of Mount Manitou, a dis
tance of one mile. The officers of the
company are Colorado Springs and
Denver business men. They are: N.
N. Brumback. president; Charles w.
Stiff, vice president; N. Il. Brum-
back, treasurer; E. l.. Whitney, secre-
tary, and Claude l.. Mckesson, super
intendent.
Reconstruction work of the track
will be begun soon and the early tour
st season of 1908 will find the road
in operation. In distance of about
one mile the road rises one-half mile
and the upper terminal reaches the
elevation of the Halfway house on
the cog road.
Within the territory rendered ac-
cessible by the Incline railway is to
be found some of the most beautiful
scenery Of the Pixies Peak region
crags, canons, timber and mountain
streams. Persons who have been over
the line and who are acquainted with
similar enterprises in Switzerland pro.
nounce it superior in every way to
anything found abroad.
The line will be rebuilt, equipped
with new passenger cars, cables OF
enormous strength and when in oper-
alton on twentv-minute schedule
will have capacity of about 900 pas
sengers per day.

State Raises Royalty.

Denver.-Six cents on the ton Will
be charged the Victor Coal Companv
in the future instead Of as has been
customary heretofore. The Victor
company has coal mines in Hucrfano
county on state land and always made
the claim to the land board that only
fifty per cent Of the output was coal
and the rest was slack. The rate is
10 cents on the ton and where but
fifty per cent. of the ore is lump COAL
but cents to the ton was charged.
But the land board has concluded that
the company In question is securing
sixty pei cent. lump coal from the ore
and hence the rate has been advanced
to cents.

RoUT COUNTY COAL RAILROAD.
Makes Application for Right Ct Way
Across School Lands.

Denver.-Applicatio has been made
to the State Land Board for right of
way over 159 acres OF some OF the rich
est coal land in Colorado by the Colo
RADIO & Northern Railroad Company.
The company plans to build line of
thirty miles from Hayden, a station on
the Moffat road. in Routt county,
through the anthracite coal fields Of
that section and California peak. end
ing at Sand Mountain pass. Later. it
is contemplated to build an extension
through the Hahn's Peak District.
DIR. A. A. Johnson, superintendent
Of the mineral department of the State
Land Office. is vice president and gen.
eral manager OF the company. He ap-
praised the land as being worth $3.50
an acre and that was the price for which
the board is asked 10 sell the 159
acres. Dr. Johnson explained that the
necessary rights Of way over govern.
ment territory had been secured free
because of the important and rich coal
region the line would open. The ap
plication did not state whether the sale
would be outright or not. The board
expressed itself as being unwilling to
dispose of such valuable coal land and
action on the matter was postponed
until the attorney general could inves-
tigate. The benefits accruing from the
line are plain to the board and the
probabilities are that the board will
sell the surface rights at the figure Of.
fered, reserving the rights to the min
eral deposits.
The Colorado & Northern Railroad
company was incorporated a year ago
with a capitalization OF 100000. The
company is said to have purchased the
rights granted in 1880 to Calvin s.
Brice. Samuel Thomas and other big
eastern magnates to build a line
through Routt county.
The officers of the company are B.
Dorsey of st. Louis. president: DR.. A.
A. Johnson, vice president; directors,
John l.. Crabtree of st. Louis, H. l..
Ritter. M. J. Dorsey. Marshall E. John
son.and Horace F. Clarke.

CANAL FOR GRAND VALLEY,
Will Cost Million and = Half and
Reclaim 10000 Acres.

Grand Junction.-That the United
States government will construct a
$l.50O.0O0 high line canal to reclaim
10000 acres of aiable land in the
Grand valley adjoining Grand juno
tion. Is the announcement made by E.
w. Aupperle. secretary Of the local
chamber of commerce, who has Just
returned from Washington, where he
was in conference for a week with
Secretary OF the Interior Garfield.
The decision of the government to
construct this great irrigation system
comes as the result Of nearly twenty
years Of untiring effort and applica-
tion on the part of the people of Grand
Junction. The campaign to secure
federal cooperation was renewed
with vigor last spring, even to the Sc
curing Of Secretary Garfield's own per-
sonal survey Of the local situation. A
special visit was arranged last sum
mer, whereby the secretary Of the in
terror was enabled to view the at
fractions and possibilities OF the Grand
valley and to estimate the advantage
Of high line canal.
The result of all this effort now cul-
inmates in the announcement that the
government will build the big ditch at
an early date. And as evidence of
its good faith $4,000 has been set
apart for the purpose of Immediately
establishing an engineers headquar-
ters here.
The canal will have its headgate
under the shadows of Mt Garfield,
which was named after the secretary's
honored father, and will skirt the base
Of the mountain for about fifteen
miles. bringing over 10000 acres un-
der irrigation.
G. f. Sands. constructing engineer.
who Is now supervising the work on
the Gunnison tunnel, will have charge
Of the survey which will be COM
menced as soon as preliminaries can
be arranged. AS the direct result Of
the governments decision conserva-
tive citizens declare that the popula-
ton of this city will be more than
doubled in less than five years and
that within that time the broad acres
now lying desolate will become the
home of at least 10000 families.
The report Of the governments de-
cision went through the city like wild
fire. Dignified citizens met each other
on the street and embraced, so great
was their. thankfuiness. No event in
the history of Grand Junction can COM
pare with importance with the de.
cision to build the canal.
