MAKING SURVEYS
President Bent Issues Plain, Straightforward
Statement Regarding the Plans OF the
Pueblo, Canon City and La Junta
Railroad and Power Go.
WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE

Ford, Mr.. Francis D. Psstorius, Of
Colorado Springs, Mr.. W. O. Gould,
of Lamar, Mr.. Chas. r. Buckley, oi
La Junta, Mr.. Thos. J. Stanley, Of
Manzsnols, together with various
other worthy citizens of Colorado and
other states, to pledge to the people
of the valley to exert every possible
effort toward the accomplishment of
the construction of this railway.
Realizing full we'll that most power
ful influence will be promptly
brought to bear in order to thwart
our every step and controvert our
purposes.
Having been actively engaged in
the development Of the valley for
over twenty years, it is but natural
that l should welcome an oppor-
tunity to assist in q worthy enter
prise of this kind. Therefore I de-
sire it clearly understood that we
have entered into this undertaking
knowing that the people are de.
manding it; knowing that sufficient
traffic is now developed and waiting
for it; knowing that this is the very
best undeveloped transportation
proposition in the entire west; and
knowing that the certain rapid, fu-
ture increase in population and
traffic is q guarantee of absolute
safety to the investor and good pro-
fits to the railway at reasonable rates.
Furthermore, we are absolutely free
of any alliance with any existing
transportation company, and we do
not propose to be bluffed of, begged
off, or bought of from our steadfast
determination to procure for the val
Icy an additional railway, running
mp the valley on the south side of
the Arkansas river to the city of
Pueblo. We do not propose to be
parties to any stock jobbing scheme.
nor do we pretend that we have the
road financed, but We do assert that
we are associated with responsible
men who are in touch with capital
and who have absolute faith in the
true worth of the enterprise.
We also announce that our engi-
neers have been, for several days,
actively engaged IN making prelim-
mary and permanent surveys for the
road. We are selling no stock, ask
ing no subscriptions, and paying
our own expenses, and propose to
exhaust every available resources in
the attainment of the results az out
lined.
When this is accomplished our
ambitions, in connection with this
problem, will have been fully satis-
fed.

The American Beet Harvester Co.,
Of Saginaw, is celebrating its sixth
anniversary by sending q car load OF
beet harvesters to Colorado. One
machine is now working in the beet
fields Of California, and reports re-
osived give it highest praise. Two
machines will be shipped to Utah,
and one to Garden City, Kansas, and
one will be retained for work at

splendid work and has been leased
for the season by the company on
whose land it il operating and the
rental for the entire season paid in

with its work.
For six years the company has
been at work making Improvements
each year, until now it claims that
the machine is q complete beet

to 5 acres per day according TO the
width Of rows.
The harvester pulls, tops. cleans
and delivers the bests into bunches,

Engineers have been engaged fol
several days in the vicinity Of Vine
land in making preliminary surveys
for the new intsrurban railway to b.
constructed by the Pueblo, Canon
City and La Junts Railroad and
Power Company. At an early date
these will be followed by another
corps of engineers who will sstsb
lish the permanent line and grade
and from this time the work will be
pushed with all possible dispatch.
In . statement by Hon. A. E.
Bent, president of the new company,
published herewith, its plans are set
forth in g straightforward manner.
Mr.. Bent rscounts the conditions ex-
isting in the valley, the need for the
new road, the purposes Of the com
pany and the plan il will follow IN
accomplishing these objects. Mr..
Bent's statement follows:
To the Press and People of the
Arkansas Vslley:-No territory OF
equal area between the Rocky
mountains and tho Atlantic ocean is
legitim.tely entitled to CLAIM the
ability to sustain . more dense rural
population than the Arkansas valley,
from the city of Pueblo to the Kan
sas state line. The basis of this
broad assertion is, the fertility Of the
soil, the stability Of the water sup
ply and irrigation works, our une1-
csllsd climate conditions, and the
recent favorable decision Of the
United States supreme court in the
celebrated Kansas Colorado water
suit. During the past few years the
population of the valley has increas-
cd at q marvellous rate, likewise has
the traffic increased until now the
time has come when the valley is en-
titled to, and shall enjoy, greater
and better transportation facilities

A DUAL CHARACTER.
Known to the Public as the Garter Man, But the Prince of Detectives.

Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 One of the most noteworthy figures on lower Broadway has disappeared. No; I do not refer to any millionaire or cap tain of industry! I have in mind a man whose face has been known to every pedestrian on Park Row and Broadway, below that point, for twenty years, as a seller of mems garters. He has been stationed upon the steps of. one of the ways in his humble capacity.
 The fact has been known to the well informed in the locality that this man was one of the highest paid detectives in New York. Although he was apparent ly selling stocking supporters for men at % cents per pair, he was closer to the desks of the cashier and the paying teller of the bank behind him than any other man in the great establishment. In the woodwork of the outer doors, that ap- peared to swing as freely as the air of heaven permitted. were two large spots that seemed to every other eye than his like brass screw heads.
 They were in reality electric buttons that kept him informed of the absence or presence of doubtful characters or de- tected thieves inside the bank
 In the latter contingency, his method was simple and was executed with such celerity that nobody outside suspected his part in the tragedy that followed. When the danger signal was given to him, the yender of garters turned a knob at the left hand of the entrance to the bank and the front doors were closed by secret bolts rendering impossible the escape oi all persons inside the bank. The mar
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-05-20

who had presented a forged check or a
 stolen bond was caught.
 The detective would then abandon the few dollars worth of stock in garters or ear mufflers, as the season served. He would enter the bank by narrow iron ooor at the ieit of the main entrance and place the alleged culprit under arrest
 That man has saved hundreds of thou- sands Of dollars for the great bank he served. But now that a new building is completed, he has been promoted to q place inside, and the most complicated machinery ever known for stopping the escape of a suspected character is under his control. Not only is he able to close the doors leading to Broadway, but he can instantly warn every man on the main floor who handles money to seal himself inside the lattice that surrounds him. Success by 'pocketbook dropper' or "a man on the paying line," who reaches for the cash handed to the man in front of him, Is impossible. I shall miss this man just as I lament the disappearance of a wooden Indian on the Bowery. He has been a figure on his own part of the Bowery. For twenty years I have known that he "stooped to serve" and l have honored him. He was one of the most alert men of his kind. Although Inspector Byrnes had estab- lished a dead line at Fulton street, be- low which no pickpocket, burglar or thief dared to pass, this apparently humble vender of mems garters had his eyes open from 8 in the morning until business ceased.
 That man ought to be president of the bank instead of a watcher for derelcts on the human tide that drifts in the day time.
 Of the thugs and burglars that pass in the night he knows little; but his dis trust of poor humanity is something pro- digious.

Business and Prayers.

From the American Israelite.
 An interesting case at law which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant discharged clerk on account of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning because he attended services at the synagogue in order to say Kad- dish-the prayer for the dead-for his father. The clerke argued that it was his privilege and his duty to say the prayer for the departed father, while the merchant, who was also religious man, maintained that If Moses had known that man had to pay 5000 gulden year rent he would have made different laws" The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in favor of the merchant. because the daily attendance at the synagogue could not be considered as the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer"
