The railroad in every community is
the butt of the bulk of abuse that is
there to be worked off on somebody.
Being the biggest interest and having
most at stake it gets the most pound
ing. Other interests laboring for the
advancement of the section come in
for their share of structure in pro-
portion to the amount of money they
are using for the general good Were
the moneyed interests suddenly to
take heed of the constantly swapping
and snarling crowds at their heels
and shut off the flow of money with
which they keep life in the bodies of
their assailants, there would be a
roar throughout the universe Even
a little cut in the number of men
employed on big enterprise is suffi-
cient to bring far reaching howl.

MITCHELL TO ATTEND
THE MINERS CONFERENCE

Denver. July 15.-John Mitchell, the
president of the United Mine Workers
Of America, arrived here Sunday and
will attend the conference between
representatives of the miners and op-
orators of Wyoming, which takes
place today. The men are demanding
a Is per cent increase. Mr.. Mitchell,
comparing labor conditions and laws
enacted in the interest of the working
man, said that Colorado not only did
not have good laws for the protection
of miners but those on the statute
books were not being enforced. Only
in the northern Colorado coal fields,
he said, were the conditions any thing
like favorable to the mine workers.
Mr.. Mitchell said he was confident
that Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone.
now on trial in Idaho for the murder
of Former Governor Steunenberg, were
innocent and would be acquitted of
the charge.

BULLETIN NO. 12e OF GREAT
INTEREST TO FRUIT GROWERS

One Of the recent bulletins OF con-
siderable interest Is bulletin No. 1872.
OF the department OF botany and hor-
ticulture, Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, on Fruit Growers Associations" )"
by Prof. w. Paddock. 1t describes
the growth Of the idea OF cooperation.
from necessity. especially In the fruit
business. AS an example, one OF the
most successful fruit associations IL
that at Grand Junction, Colorado,
whose annual business amounts to
over $500. 900 year, OF which nearly
$500 900 goes to the growers Of fruit.
The development of the cooperative
fruit growers associations OF Colo
RADIO, has been remarkable. probably
partly due to the fact that the farm
ers and fruit growers OF the state are
accustomed to working in co-opera-
ton and in harmony, due to their
training In the management Of ditches.
A copy of the bylaws Of that organi-
zation Is also given, and reference
made to other associations. The bull

pie that this insurance company has
withdrawn from the state and will no
longer do business in Colorado. The
bulletin states that on July s the de-
partment addressed list of seventeen
questions to the company asking for
information regarding the operation Of
its associate corporations, etc. After
sending the letter, Mr.. Rittenhouse re-
ceived a letter from the company
Withdrawing from the state and has
not as yet received replies from his
questions.
In his bulletin he criticizes the COM
pany severely and maintains that 1t
was an agency stock scheme; that it
was composed Of three corporations,
namely a security company, which
owned the control Of the einsurance
business, an agency stock company
which undertook to perform the solic-
iting functions of the business, and the
insurance company itself. Stock was
sold to policyholders and others to
induce and influence business.
The bulletin states that a recent ex-
Massachusetts department disclosed
the fact that the agency stock COM
pany had failed owing the insurance
company over 100000.
Considerable space Is devoted to a
criticism Of the manner In which the
three companies interlocked each 9TH
er and failed to provide each other
with necessary bonds. etc.
The bulletin warns the people Of
Colorado to have nothing to do with
agency stock schemes and says that a
company from Chicago Is at present
trying to start stock scheme in this
state and that it should be let alone.
The bulletin says:
Experience has shown that insur-
ance companies with these elaborately
officered and expensive auxiliaries can
not reduce the cost Of procuring in
surance and hence the extraordinary
profits cannot come except through
speculation. The advisory board con-
tracts schemes, the agency stock plan
and all schemes OF inducing insurance
that give or offer to give or sell some
thing of value have been condemned
by convention OF state insurance COM
missioners and by the laws in many
states"
Mr.. Rittenhouse calls upon the pub
lie to assist in stamping out these
schemes.

DIRECTORS OF VALLEY LINE
DISCUSS VARIOUS METHODS

Pueblo, July 15.-Active work will
start on the electric line of the new
Canon City, Pueblo and La Junta
Railway and Power company within
two days according to arrangements
made at a meeting Of the board OF
directors, held Saturday afternoon in
the company's ofnces at 200 West 3rd
street. Men will be put out on the
proposed route of the railroad to as
certain the best line.
Surveys will be started within very
few days, and the FIRST steps leading
to the construction of the new road
will be pushed. The principal point
brought up at the meeting was the
best route to pursue in the construc-
ton Of the new railroad. Most of the
time Of the meeting Of the board of
directors was taken up in the discus
sion Of many minor details relative
to the commencement of work.
There are three proposed routes OF
the road leading into Pueblo. They
are all along the Arkansas river and
little difference to the general public
will result from the selection. The
principal questions presented to the
board in this regard were the best
route for the travelling public, and
which of the routes would be the
cheapest.
Pueblo business men and capitalists
are interested in view Of the vast good
that will accrue to Pueblo from the
building of the new road. They realize
that the road will be the means of
connecting cities which have been tri
butary to Pueblo.
At this stage Of the company's work
the directors are loathe to make. any
statements relative to the time the
road will be completed or the route or
cost of the railway.
According to the directors, they ask
no special favors of any community.
town or county. All they ask is the
cooperation of the cities and districts
which will be benefited by the new
enterprise.
When seen last night, Andrew :.
Behymer, general manager of the
company, said, when asked regarding
the progress made by the company:
LAS times goes on we aregrowing
more enthusiastic regarding the new
road. The proposition has now reached
a point when it is a part Of the life
of each of the directors. Saturdays
meeting was the most lively from a
point of interest that we have ever
had.
within a few days we will have the
reports from the committees sent out
to investigate proposed routes, and a
few days later We will have surveyors
with their instruments in the field
preparing for the grades necessary to
the construction OF the road"

TWO MEN AT TRINIDAD
CHARGED WITH BACK HAND

Trinidad, July NV. N. Keefee,
seventy-two years OF age, and his son.
Charles Keefee, thirty-six years Of
age. were placed under arrest this af-
ternoon by the local police, on the
charge Of sending obscene and threat
ening letters through the mails.
The men were released on bonds,
but later the younger man was re-
arrested. and is now in the county
Jail.
Among the many letters. which the
men are alleged to have written 10
one to George APPEL, proprietor OF .
bakery here, in which they threaten
ed to burn down his place of business.
Chief Of Police Egan stated tonight
that he is confident that he has now
rounded up the author Of the mys-
terious Black Hand letters, which have
been received by numerous people
in Trinidad within the past few
weeks.
Two arrests were made by the police.
previous to the arrests Of today.
These men, John Stafford and Louis
Stein. two gamblers. were bound over
to the district court on q charge OF
attempting to extort money by threats.
Stafford was released few days ago
on his own recognizance, but Stein
is still in Jail. 1t appears that the two
latter evolved the Idea Of threaten
ing the persons named In the letter
and later hiring out as detectives to
run the criminals to earth.
The fact that the letters continued
to come through the mails after their
arrest cleared them Of the suspicion
OF being the authors, although 1t 10
believed that they are accomplices.
Postmaster Daniel Stone has gone to
Denver to place the matter in the
hands of the federal authorities.

JUDGE WHITFORD DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF INTERSTATE ROADS

Denver, July 1.-THE railroads of
the state have won the first blood in
the battle they have started against
the railway commission.
In the district court yesterday Judge
Whitford denied the motion OF the
attorney general to strike from the
files the petition of the interstate roads
to intervene in the original quo war
ranto proceedings instigated a short
time ago by the state railroads.
This leaves the matter in such a
shape that the court will hear argu-
ments on whether or not the inter-
state railroads shall be allowed to
come into the case. Arguments on
this petition will be heard next Tues
day. Attorney General Dickson was
given sixty days in which to tender
a bill Of exceptions.
When Judge Whit ford had rendered
his decision, E. N. Clark, general at
torney for the D. & R. G. railroad,
asked for an Injunction which will re-
strain the railway commission from
taking any further action in the mat
ter until after the decision in the
original case has been handed down.
The attorney general said after the
decision was announced that the effect
Of the ruling was Of no great moment.
He said the reason that the state
wanted an argument in the interven-
tion matter is that II it had won, 1t
would have been necessary to go into
the question of the temporary injunc-
ton.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
railroads have asked for an injunction
against the commission, the latter
sent out notices to all the railroads
requesting them to send in their vari-

Tariff Revision.

Governor A. B. Cummins has been
the leading apostle in the middle west
for tariff revision for several years
back, while Senator Allison, chairman
of the appropriations committee of the
senate and chairman of the steering
committee has maintained a firm at
titude against any piecemeal revision
until public sentiment should sum-
ciently crystalline for a general modi-
fication of the Dingley schedules. Al
lison, however, is growing old and his
days in the senate, 1t is believed, will
not be long. Allison's tariff attitude
Is that the tariff schedules should not
be cut to the limit where it would
mark distinctly the difference between
the cost Of labor in America and
abroad. On Iowa Day at the Royal
Gorge Chautauqua, thousands Of peo-
pie will greet Governor Cummins.
