Grange Resolutions.

Hartford, Conn.-The Nationai
Grange ended its forty-first annual
session Friday. Resolutions were
adopted In favor of the bill before
Congress appropriating ten cents per
capita to cities for mechanical art
high schools, and ten cents per capita
in rural districts for agricultural
schools.
The report on railroads demanded
OF the government some sort of over
sight powerful enough to compel obe-
dience and broad enough to avoid in
justice.
Resolutions were adopted advocat-
ing the reservation of forests for all

Another resolution declares:
Whereas, The National Grange

New Double Track Laid Through

New Double Track Laid Through
Esgls River canon.
Denver.-The work OF double-track.
ing the Eagle River Canon on the
main trans-continental line Of the Den
yer 4 Rio Grande railroad Just west
Of Leadville. is now completed. The
contractors, the Phillips Construction
Company & O'Gara, who commenced
work little over a year ago. have
finished their contract, and one Of the
greatest engineering feats Of the year
has been successfully accomplished.
The new second track built through
the narrow Eagle River Canon has
cost more than 100000 per mile to
construct, but the relief afforded by
this great improvement, by which
trains can be more easily operated
over the steep grade on the west side
Of Tennessee Pass. will be worth many
times the cost of construction.
In the five miles OF canon work
there are three tunnels with q total
length Of 500 feet, being 100. 800 and
400 feet respectively. There are five
steel bridges, with reinforced con.
crete floor slab, with ballast under the
track of a fine quality OF crushed
rock. The steel girders are probably
the heaviest ever used in bridge con.
struction. The track Is laid with new
eighty-fve pound to the yard steel.
rolled by the Colorado Fuel G. Iron
Company at their Pueblo plant. with
tie plates and entirely new track ma.
terial throughout. The new line, which
is used for the eastbound, or uphill
haul, reduces the grade from 33 per
cent. to 2.3 per cent, and the curva
ture is also greatly lessened.
The enormous outlay considering
the length of new track) was necessi.
tated by the constantly increasing bus
mess, both freight and passenger. OF
the Rio Grande road. and the tremen.
dous increase in volume anticipated
with the completion OF the Western
Pacific a year hence.
A popularity Of location. and one
not met with elsewhere, is the build
ing of the tracks on each side Of the
Eagle river. Between the high walls
enough for the two tracks and the
rushing river.
From one end of the canon to the
other and on both sides, mining for
gold, silver and lead is being carried
on extensively. Shaft houses and ore
bins are perched high up on narrow
lodges. and the wonder is they do not
slide into the river far below. There
is not another canon in the Rocky
mountains traversed by railroad
where mining operations can be seen
as in this, the Eagle River Canon.

Problem Of Air NavIoatIon.

Apropos Of the prevailing acute in.
terest in aeronautics abroad, foreign

States in this matter really remains to

nish that this country will long re.

Proposed pixies peak Park.

Colorado Springs.-Mayor Heizer is
working on a plan to have Congress
create a national park out of the
Pixies Peak forest reserve, covering
about $4,000 acres of forest land and
including some of the best known
scenic attractions of the Rocky noun
tains. To this end he will enlist the
support of some of the most influen-
tial men of the West. Should the gov
ernment create the park. troops would
probably be established at some point
near Colorado Springs and all natural
attractions would be preserved intact.
The government would supervise the
construction Of all roads within the

Coal Industry In Montana.

The coal mining industry in Mon.
tana has. according to the records,
Just entered the second quarter cen.
tury Of its history. So far as known,
the first coal produced in the state, or
the territory. as 1t was then, was
mined in 1880, in which year the pro.
duction amounted to 224 tons. 1t was
not until 1889, however. that the In.
dustry assumed any Importance, the
production increasing nearly 500 per
cent, from 41.467 short tons in 1873 to
363. .301 short tons the following year
During the next six years develop
ment advanced rapidly, until in 1896
It exceeded 100000 tons. Compare
lively little fiuctuation was shown by
statistics Of production from 1895 to
1906. but in 1906 considerable improve
ment was evident. the production hav
ing increased from 1,643.s32 short
tons. valued at s2.s23.350. in 1905, to
1,829.921 short tons. valued at $3.240.
35s. In 1906, gain of 186.089 tons, OF
11.3 per cent. in quantity. and $417-
O07. or 14.S per cent. in value. The
number OF men employed in the coal
mines Of Montana increased from
2.1S1, in 1905 to 1894 In 1906. the av
erage number of working days being
the same (24s) In both years. The
average production per man in 1906
was 764.4 short tons, against 1887 In
1905, and the average daily production
per man was 3.15 tons in 1906. agains,
$40 tons in 1905.

Nut Growing Industry of the South

Nut growing is a comparatively
new industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf states, but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section" said ]. q. Reid, a
prosperous planter Of Florida. THE
most popular nut is the pecan, and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment of systematic methods Of
grading it and cracking it with ma.
chinery operated by steam or electric
power This makes possible the mar
keting of the meats of the nut ready
for use.
THE demand is always much great
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
nut raising industry. 1t is not un-
common for tree to bear as high as
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from 60 to 20
cents a pound. 1t does not require
much figuring to show that the pecan
orchards which abound in some Sec
tions are paying investments"

A Girls oiooIe.

Samuel Shadwell. a touchy old man
living in an Indiana village. had a
pane of glass broken in his house one
night not long ago and next day he
had ten-year-old girl named Minnie
Dayton arrested for it.
When the case was called in court
he was asked how he knew it was
Minnie. He admitted that he didn't
see her. but heard her giggle. When
asked II her giggle was different from
that Of any other girl he said it was,
but he couldn't tell why. Neither
could he initiate the giggle. and he
lost his case.
We all know what girls giggle is,
but If any of us were asked to give an
imitation Of it we'd probably fail. A;
boy may litter, but when it comes to
giggling only girl can do that.

Work For the Blind.

Denver-Tuesday afternoon the for
NAL opening Of the Colorado Indus
trial Workshop for the adult blind was
held in the home and workshop at
Eleventh and Jason streets. A large
crowd attended the opening of the
home, and Signor cavallo was there
with his orchestra to furnish the
music between interesting addresses
delivered by Rev. John w. Huston.
State Senator James c. Burger. DIR.
Friedman and Mrs. C. H. jacobson.
The shop has been open since Septem-
ber and is under the management of
]. r. Myers.
Mr.. Myers, a man who has lost his
sight, walks through the shop and ex-
plains the work like one who had per-
feet vision.
The last Legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 and made provis-
ions for a workshop for the adult blino
to be established in Denver, where the
blind who wish. may be taught trades
and secure employment under state
supervision. People of every walk in
life come to the shop. painters. mer
chants. and artisans of every descrip-
ton as well, and others who have been
born blind and who have spent the
years of life In perpetual darkness.
When the shop is further advanced
1t is the intention to let the individual
perfect himself in that branch of work
which was his before becoming blind,
or in case of no trade. to teach him
one. that he may at least in part sup
port those who are dependent upon
him for living
There are fifteen machines in the
shop and broom making will form the
principal occupation of the blind work
ers.
The shop will be open for all blind
men and women. who shall have been
citizens of the state of Colorado for
at least three years and over twenty
one years OF age. and who can give
satisfactory references as to character.
All the products of the shop will be
the property of the state. The amounts
realized from the sale of the products
made at the shop shall be applied to
the further expense and maintenance
OF the shop.
