LOS ANGELES, Aug. "a freight
wreck on the Santa Fe road between
this city and San Bernadino is reported
6ere. 1t is said that the train was
destroyed by fire and that telegraph
communication has been interrupted.
When communication was restored it
was learned that long freight train
breaking in three sections, caused dou-
bic wreck last night on the Santa Fe
road in the mountains near San Berna-
dino. One OF the runaway sections
consisting of thirty cars, was ditched
N Victor Narrows, and caught fire, the
flames being visible for many miles Sec
tions of the train ran from seven to
fifteen miles before meeting disaster.
Two unknown tramps were injured, one
SO seriously that he will die. At this
hour it is impossible to obtain informa-
tion relating to the trainmen who may
have been on board the train.
The train which was made up of so
cars consigned to points along the Coast
division was made up at Barstow.
Several miles above Barstow the two
engines cut loose to take water and in
some manner the air brakes became
powerless to hold the train which started
down the steep grade. Before the train
men could get the hand brakes on the
FIST few ears the train was laundering
down the mountains around SHARP
curves, threatening derailment every
minute. 1t is supposed the trainmer
leaped before the crash.
Nine of the cars broke away and dis
tancing the others, ran fifteen miles t
Rio Grande where they stopped. Th'
middle section of the train, consisting
Of 30 cars, remained on the tranck fo
O distance of eight miles, finally leaving
the rails at Victor NaTows, 40 miles
from this city, Finally plunging from
the track, the thirty cars struck tht

stroying all telegaphic communication

received here after midnight states that
the entire section is a mass OF flames.
The remaining l3 cars ran seven miles
down the grade before they were wreck
ed, bringing up in heap alongside the
roadbed.

the people to assemble to pray that

During the last year we have been

spups ARE KING IN MONTE VISTA
EIsfty-three Dollars an Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.

Monte Vista, Colo.-Potato digging
IL just about finished here. and the
astounding number of 100000 bushels
were raised this year in the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
of this enormous crop have already
been shipped to Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis
posed Of within week.
No trouble whatever has been expe-
rienced in finding market for San
Luis valley "spuds," and In many sec
tions of the East and South they com
mand a premium over the world-re-
nowned Greeley potato.
Five hundred thousand bushels is
100000 hundred weight. and, taking
present price of so cents per hundred
weight as an average price, 1t is read
lily seen that the crop Is worth $780,
900.
Nearly s250.O00 has been added to
the wealth of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale of this, a mi
nor crop; for, Notwithstanding its gi-
gantic proportions. this must be con-
sidered a minor crop In view OF its
small acreage. as only about 1000 OF
the 100000 acres of farmable land
within twelve miles OF Monte Vista
Vista were planted in potatoes this
year.
One need not be a dreamer" to see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
sibilities which, II properly developed,
would make 1t a potato-raising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year. it
Is seen from the above figures that the
average gross income from an acre of
potatoes is $120. The average expense,
assuming that farmer does not do any
OF the work himself. but hires 1t all
done, has been calculated to be S37 per
acre; thus it is seen that the average
profit, clear of all expenses. to the San
Luis valley potato raiser for the year
Of 1907 is sS3 per acre. The original
cost of this land is but $50 to $50 per
acre. Not much wonder that the land
investors are arriving in Monte Vista
by the hundreds. Land like this will
not be on the market for an average of
$45 per acre much longer.
A few representative crops are given
below:
George Cole has the largest yield per
he raised 1886 bushels, or STA bushels
per acre. which. when sold. netted him
a profit of about $3.50 per acre.
E. C. Wright had in seventy acres,
which netted him profit OF S125 an
acre. clear of all expenses. And this
on land which he paid $50 an acre for
about a year ago.
Zinser brothers had in 130 acres.
which yielded $4,000 bushels. or $50
bushels per acre. which netted them a
clear profit Of nearly 800 per acre.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Oct. 28.
Another very good run Of cattle was
received here last week. Trade dur
ing the first few days was active and
prices generally steady despite the
fact that eastern markets we're lower
from the start. Later in the week.
however, the financial difficulties in
Wall street had a depressing effect on
all markets and prices took tumble.
Right good cattle are 10Q15c lower
but the general run of stun Is on
about a quarter mere. Eastern mar
kets are reported all the way from 25
@6Oc lower. Beef steers sold under
very fair demand, bulk of good ones
going at $3.75q$4-20. some choice Wy
omings bringing the latter price on
Thursday. Good cows also sold pretty
well though the market is a little
lower. A bunch of choice North Park
cows brought $3.35 early in the week
but later choice Wyoming cows sold
here at 1920. Bulk of fair to good
COWS brought $2.65@$3.00 and stock
cows around s2.00@$ $3.50. Bulls closed
about steady under good demand and
veals firmer than week ago. Feeder
and stocker demand was strong early
in the week and prices held up well.
Later there was some depression here
on account of big declines east, though
the demand all week continued very
good and on the whole the market
closed in very good shape. Choice
North Park steers sold at $4-50@$4.60
fiat early in the week. Later very few
were offered good enough to get above
S4.25 and bulk of fair to pretty good
feeding steers sold at $3.40@$4.00.
The hog market went down by leaps
and bounds last week though there
was some reaction Saturday. Bulk OF
hogs are now quotable here at $5.35
9$5.50 or about Csc lower than a
week ago. The slump was general at
all markets and was caused largely
by Wall street financial conditions
and a drop in provisions.
The sheep demand was very fair
last week and supply liberal. Prices
were weak to 15c lower at the close
in sympathy with the general decline
at eastern markets but good vol
ume of business was done here and
the market is in very good shape.

Comets are not now regarded as
signs that "forerun the death or fall of
kings" but this superstition was still
current in the time of Queen Eliza
beth, though. to the amazement of her
courtiers, the queen calmly scorned 1t.
The curious thing was that it was also
thought that II the sovereign would
refrain from looking at the malignant
celestial passer-by no harm would
come to her. On one occasion Eliza
beth's attendants shut and curtained
her windows, but her majesty, as
might have been expected, with "a
courage answerable to the greatness
OF her estate" caused them to be
opened, crying as she looked up, "Jac-
ia est alea-the die Is cast" Then,
like Cnut on the seashore, she read
her people a homily. asserting that
her "steadfast hope and confidence
was too firmly planted In the provi-
dence of God to be blasted or alright

stveness and Importance. The busi-
ness of baseball f1ourishes wherever
there is a stretch of level ground and
enough lumber to make a bat. and as
more people are interested in 1t
than in any other single industry in
the country, surely 1t is the most i'm
portant In Chicago where the live
stock trade has acquired somewhat of
a reputation. It is extremely probable
that most OF the Inhabitants. II con-
