Settling Up Eastern Colorado.

Gasoline motor service will be es.

within ten days or two weeks.
At first only one combination car
will be placed in service, making the
distance of los miles to Hugo in less
than four hours, tie running time be-
ing about thirty miles an hour. The
object is to supplement the regular
passenger train service because Of the
great demands made by the dry farm

Less than two years ago interu-ban
traffic from Denver to the east line Of
the state was not even thought of, that
section being practically a wilderness

In the last two months the Union

DOVE OF PEACE IN COLORADO
Says Majority Of Citizens Agree "tn
President Roosevelt That Murder
ers Are undesirable Citizens"

San Diego. Cal.-Governor Buchtei.
| who dedicated the First Methodist
Episcopal church here yesterday. said:
I'VE have no vindictive feeling in
Colorado concerning Meyer and Hay
wood. We want them to have per-
fectly fair trial, with the best defense
possible. II they are found guilty OF
the murder of Governor Steunanbuerg.
We want them punished adequate,v'
they are found to be not gum
want them TO be set free. &
4 think this is fair state u
the attitude Of the vast majority Of the
people of Colorado concerning Moyer
and Haywood. think it is also fact
to-day that the vast majority of the
people OF Colorado count these men to
be undesirable citizens. / coincide in
every detail with the opinion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this regard. 1t is
generally believed that they have
been at the bottom OF an immen
amount OF mischief h times, now. hap
PLY ended in Colorado.
We noN have industrial peace. Our
mining camps are all prosperous, our
miners ara all happy and contented,
with all the work they can do at high
wages.
THE reason we are coming on SO
well in Colorado is generally admitted
to be because Meyer and Haywood and
the W. F. NJ. have been absolutely
eliminated for all time from the labor
problem here.
In view OF these facts, it is per-
fectly natural that sensible and honest
miners shou' 1 be glad to be out from
under the bitter slavery and plotting
venality to which they were subjected.
as members of the W. F. NJ"
Governor Buchtel also ridiculed the
labor movement in New Zealand. stat
ing that the per capita debt there is
1925, while that of Colorado is only $6,
and that government ownership under
bad labor leaders in New Zealand is
responsible for this deplorable per cap
ita debt, which is sure criterion of
the failure of government ownership.
He also said the appeal to President
Roosevelt to serve another term ought
to be made on the ground OF his duty
as patriot.
1T is the right of the people to make
demand for service on any citizen in
the Republic. The fact that he stated
that he would not be candidate again
is not relevant matter when the peo-
pie are making demand on his time
to serve the Nation as patriot.
1T Is perfectly true that Secretary
Taft would make a great President,
but We are now in such an important
epoch in the life Of the Nation that
President Roosevelt ought to stay in
office in response to the demand of the
people Of all political parties"

TO MAKE NEAR CHAMPAGNE"

1t all came out in the County Court
before Judge Drake and a jury just
low to make fine. sparkling and alto
gether-to- be desired champagne. Mrs.
CATH Lang. an elderly woman, who
knew a great deal about wines and
their making learned from experience
In her native Alsace. told just how 1t
vas done.
The jury listened to her story in the
suit being brought against julius
Minck. of the firm OF Minck & Co, to
whom she said she sold the secret, and
then awarded her the full amount Of
her claim, which was $1,000.
Mrs. Lang said she learned the Sc
cret OF making wine in France, and
had made it for over two years before
she came to this country. But since
being here she had been engaged In a
restaurant and had no time to go into
wine making. So knowing that the
firm OF Minck Of 1853 Beaver street,
Brooklyn. was a large maker OF min
eral waters and other beverages, she
went to see Mr. Minck.
She testified that she had taken with
her all the ingredients to make a guam
tity OF the near" champagne and she
only stipulated that she be present to
superintend the first production for the
defendant of beverage that, she de-
clared to him, would deceive even the
Lest champagne experts. 1t developed
on the trial that she was promised the
sum OF $1,000 by the defendant, but
this was denied by him, and then gave
him the recipe. He was to organize a
company and sell the manufactured
wine, she said.

tween the President and Governo..
Gooding is to the effect that within
the time it would require a message to

ton.
Although there are but 100 men in
the two troops, they are for the greater
part veterans who have seen service
in the Philippines and Cuba.
1t is considered significant here that
these trained men were sent to the
local post less than six months ago to
relieve details OF inexperienced sol,
diers. Despite these precautions. the
state officials insist they anticipate no
outbreak of any character during or
following the trial.

Don't Like kineer. per.is.eney.

The town Of Grand junction and
George J. kindei have had a falling
out, and the town has requested Mr..
kindel TO refrain from giving it any
more undesirable advertising as re
CARDS freight rates. This is what the
eIngery town on the western slope
says 10 Mr.. kindel:
There is very general feeling here
that your continual display of your
chart in all sectich rs ind under all cir
cumstances is advertising Grand juno
tion as the place from which homeseek.
ers should steer clear, because you
place her at the very top of the list of
high freight rates.
Now. while We have just cause for
complaint along this line. We prefer to
make this complaint to the railroads
and then to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. rather than to advertise
the mater In all sections from which
We draw our immigrants.
We feel that we are justified IN this
matter because the general conditions
here are such that our people can stand
excessive rates if they must, and still
do better financially than can be done
in some of the sections with lower
rates. We do not advance this as an
argument in favor of our present rates,
but to show how this section and peo-
pie looking for locations for homes
may be made TO suffer because of the
Impressions your work in this matter
creates.
I'VE would respectfully request that
YOU give some consideration t6 this
feature of your work and in the future
give US little less of this undesir.
able advertising. Sincerely yours.

The fourth number of the Warren
Entertainment Course was the lee
ture last night by Hon. G. A.
Gearhart, of Buffalo, N. Y. His
subject was, "Footprints of the
Centuries." 1t was an instructive,
meaty lecture to say the least and
those who we're able to follow him in
his flights of oratory, with flashes of
wit, and chunks of history, philosophy
and argument literally thrown in, re-
ceived much benefit, and we're lifted
from the slough Of despond to grand
and noble prospects of life. The
footprints of the centuries, according
OF Gearhart, show that the world is
advancing in civilization and getting
better right along. But he also
pointed out some Of the faults Of the
age, especially those of the weaker sex,
but these were small in comparison
to the greater virtues.
