Prospect Of Big Marble Contract

The city Of Cleveland Ohio, is
planning for a three million dollar
court house of marble and Fred
Mathews. r. J. Mckensev. Chas.
Higley. Edison A. Cass, NJ F. Bran
lev and VIM. Dali Of that city are
this week visiting the Colorado lule
quarries at Marble, getting closer
acquainted with the wonderful de
posit of which they have seen sam
pies. Mr.. Dali is the contractor and
the others commissioners. The fact
that the gentlemen have come all
the way from Cleveland to examine
the quarry shows the favorable i'm
preston they must have received
and as we know the magnificent
marble is there and machinery ready
to produce the finished goods. 1t Is
good guess that Gunnison county
secures the contract

il tie ssaste II the United Ssees
lsss February, Alksss J. Rs~ssiAss,
that brilliant. brsiay, rep~b1iosa
senstor from Indiana. ksd occasion
70 defeud the forest reserve policy
Of the administration against severe
assaults. He didn't know much
about the matter himself, % he won't
over to the forestry department and
got prim.d. In his speech then he
introduced the following paragraph.
"Mr. President. j. was held out by
intimstion if not by direct statement,
that this land was fit for a0rirultu-
raj purposes and that the policy Of
the Department, therefore, had been
to de~poticslly take principality in
size, where no trees grew, and keep
off The sweeping tide of immigrants
from founding homes The fact is
that it is ABOVE TIE AGRICUL-
TURAL LINE where homes are not
founded and immigrants do not
pour in tides or pour in any other
way. Most of it is over $3.50 FEET
ABOVE THE SEA LEVEL,
WHERE FARMS ARE NOT PRAC-
TICABLE, except believe GER
tain kind of farming which is not
worth taking into account"
We have never had any patience
with the forestry department that is
governing us for our own good in
utter Ignorance of actual conditions,
but it might be said in extenuation
of the brilliant senator that up till a
few years ago many of our Gunni-
son people had the same notion in
regard to the value of these lands
above 5000 feet liz elevation
Last year the best oats and barley
crop in the state and probably the
best ever recorded in the United
States was grown in Gunnison
county at 5000 feet and this year
the writer saw the finest hay field Of
his observation at 5000 feet, where
also grew grain and many vegetables,
most Of the grain without any irri-
CATION. At 10000 feet. above Gothic
and Crested Butte. were fields Of
waving wild grass that would cut a
ton to the acre, and some ton and
a half. This same land is easy of
irrigation and gradually the ranches
are pressing higher and higher and
with expected success Occasionally
a little red winter wheat has been
tried and it is firmly believed by
many ranchmen that this grain can
be grown there as successfully as in
northern Canada
She writer personally visited a
good many of the ranches around
the Buttes and found the outlook
prosperous and crops exceptionally
good. 1t is only a matter of turn
ing on the water and understanding
the different climatic conditions
which here govern Snow comes
early and stays late, but the ground
is warmer than in Gunnison. The
summer is short, but the sun is hot

The governor Of this state has

not in aa honest open way.
Under his official capacity he
! has s.nothered his loyalty to those
roho are responsible for his election,
sad turned deaf ear 10 those who
are not only staunch republicans
bet who have fought for theircountry
And now the republican party,
through their elected representative
tells them that they are "a lot OF
drunken buns and hoodlums" not
entitled to consideration This in
spite of the tact that they made
Buchtel's election possible. Is this
the honor due those men who gave
the best part of their lives for the
sake of their country? Does the re-
publican party imagine that any re
Apectable citizen OF Colorado will
= agree with Buchtel when he says
NAhat those who fought for the stars

"drunkards and bums?' Because
akey are compelled by their disabil-
,nbes to 90 the Soldiers Home in
which to pass their declining years,
are they entitled to no recognition:
Nr. Aldrich the commander of the
home has been proven a man Of no
especial ability or courage and
should not have been replaced.
The writer of this is an old sol

soldiers who were disabled in the
war have gone through with.
The county poor house would be
preferable to the Soldiers Home for
these men while Buchtel is gov
ernor or Aldrich is commander Of

trying to get every old soldier out OF

BLOODHOUhDS ON
TRAIL Of FIENDS
Every Effort Being Put Forth to
Capture 1SSaSSiTls Of Former
Sheriff at Baker City.

Portland. Ore. Oct. "A special dispatch
to the Evening Telegram from Baker City
Ore, says that the identity of the friends
who planned and executed the horrible
death of Harvey K. Brown, ex-sheriff
detective and memorable enemy of law
breakers, is somewhat nearer solution To-
day The bloOdhOundS owned by Henry
Draper of Spokane have scented the trail
of the assassins. The assassins We're
traced by the dogs to the railway tracks.
along the track for 100 feet, thence around
a warehouse and mill building and back
across the tracks up to Auburn avenue,
to Sixth street, where the trail was lost
The authorities believe that the murder
ers are yet in town and every avenue of
exit from its precincts Is guarded.
The coroner's jury returned its verdict
This morning. The verdict is of no i'm
portance, merely reciting the manner in
which Brown came to his death and ac-
cusing an unknown person or persons Of
the deed
The county court of Baker county to-
day offered a reward of IS 600 for the cap
ture of the murderers.
Assassins Still in Town.
Portland, Oct. 1.-The Oregonian's spe-
cial correspondent at Baker City tele-
graphs that after Harry Diapers blood
hounds had trailed the assassins of Har-
vey Brown for a quarter of a mile up
the railroad track today they began to
act queerly. They picked up and lost
the scent repeatedly. Finally Draper de-
clared that the man they We're trail
ing was in the crowd following the
hounds Draper says that he is certain
his view is correct, for his dogs never
lie to him. Tonight the town is con-
WINGED that Browns murderers did not
flee the town, but are harbored some
where within it's limits. The detectives
believe that there is a rendezvous in the
city and they are bending every effort
to locate 1t. Everything possible is be-
m done nr6Vant the eScdDe from
town of the guilty persons. Detective w.
S. Swain of Spokane, who took part in
the gathering of evidence in the Steu-
nenberg case, is in Baker City, and is
taking a leading part in the search.
None of the authorities take any stock
in a suggestion that the murder was the
result of Browns activity, while sheriff,
against the "open town" element.

FAILED TO CONE THROUGH
Negative Result Of President Moi
fett's Examination by Federal
Grand Jury.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-F. S. Hollands, chief
rate clerk of the Chicago & Alton rail-
road. was in the grand jury room for
more than an hour today. in the inves-
tigation into the charge made by Pres
ident Moffett of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana. that other shippers at
Whiting, Ind, besides the Standard Oil
company, had been guilty of rebating.
Hollands answers were said to have
been indefinite. A subpoena was issued
for c. H. King, general freight agent of
the Alton, and 1t was reported that an
other official of the road had been sum-
moned.
This afternoon President Moffett was
recalled TO the grand jury room and,
after being there a short time, started
on his return to New York. 1t Is gen.
orally believed that President Moffett
failed to give such information as would
lead to the indictment of other parties.

Goldfield, New, Oct 2-The Tonopah
& Goldfield railroad is tied up from
Nina to Bullfrog by a strike of train
men. Last nights passengers from San
Francisco and Reno got as far as Tono-
pan. completing the trip by automo-
bile. The Los Angeles train. due here
at $40 p. m, was ditched at Bonnie
Claire, thirty-five miles south of Gold
field, by running into an open switch.
No one was injured. but 200 passengers,
of which one-half were women and chill
dren. were forced to spend the night on
the train, and had but a scanty break
fast this morning, as the supplies at
was finally manned and sent to their
relief. The Goldfield mail was brought
over by stage from Tonopah
The Clark road, which is graded to
Goldfield and has track laid to with
in twelve miles of town, has put on
three shifts and will rush tracklaying.
In the meantime passengers will be car
ried to Bonnie Claire, and an auto serv-
ice established between that point and
Goldfield. As a consequence of the tie
up there threatens to be a scarcity of
foodstuffs. especially fresh meats and
perishabie goods: unless ARRANGEMENTS
are made TO get shipments over the
Clark road TO the front" and thence in
by wagon. The night mail out is piled
up In the postoffice and no trains of
any sort have left Goldfield today.

to Tonopah from Philadelphia and until
his arrival nothing will be done In the
way OF settlement The trouble was pre-
cipitated by the reduction of the force
of trainmen between Tonopah and Mil
lers, but the men have several other
grievances. They demand that the pay
day, which was changed from the 10th
of the month to the 18th, be changed
TO the old date; that two officials of
the road be discharged, and that three
trainmen who were suspended on a
charge of drinking while on duty be
reinstated. The situation is critical so
