He had just been berated for the
fact that IL certain car of goods did
not come in. while another man
but II minute before had attacked
him because freight train came in
without bringing some important
merchandise which had been on
the road for ii month or more-that
being. presumably, the first freight
out since, while others were com
planning of one thing or another,
the latter one telling him that he
was surely going to make a straight
shoot thru the pnelmatic tube for
hell as soon as he died.
He admitted the fact. but said
hell had no terrors for him. not be-
cause he was getting it here, but he
thought that being good solicitor
he would be able to induce Satan
to order his coal via the Santa Fe,
and therefore he would never get

UP To COLORADO LEGISLATURE.

Tho the Santa Fe road has more
frequent wrecks than most any
other road it is remarkable that
they seldom prove fatal. This does
not excuse the carelessness that is
responsible for accidents, however
The public should be protected by
the legislature this year setting
safeguards in the way of compell-
ing competent help in the dispatch
ing department, as well as in oper-
alton. There is no doubt in the
minds of most of our Legislators
that the present freight rates are
two to four times as high as they
should be, while everybody knows
that a rate of two cents per mile is
double what is required to profita-
bly, handle passenger traffic. All
railroads make rate of approx
mately one cent per mile on their
summer excursion business and
they spend thousands of dollars
from that portion of the business
in advertising and soliciting the
same.
The Christian Science church is
spending whole lot of money for
advertising these days. You can
hardly pick up a newspaper with
out noting its advertisements.
That's the way to put new relig-
ion on paying basis just the same
as other enterprises. Dowie made
fortune thru the liberal use of
printers ink in putting his great
religion before the people. OF
course, we are not conversant with
the merits of the goods of either of
