Boys and girls seem to be living on

to Sunday school last Sunday. The

Governor Peabody returned home
this morning from Philadelphia and
New York, where he went a week or
ten days ago In company with Frank
o. Heath on business connected with
the Canon City and Royal Gorge
Electric Railroad company. He says
their visit to Philadelphia was a very
pleasant one and he expresses the be-
lief that capital will be forthcoming
very shortly for the construction and
equipment OF the road.

success of our mission" said Cover

affected by the disturbance In stock It
made it difficult, II not Impossible, to
procure money for such an enterprise
as we were endeavoring TO exploit
everywhere else.

DUST IS FROM THE
SAN LUIS VALLEY

The dust which filled the atmos-
phere on Tuesday, and hung like a
pail over the city, rendering 1t diff
cult during the greater part of the
day to distinguish the outlines of the
Greenhorn mountains on the one side
and the Pixies Peak range on the 9TH
er, is believed to have come from the
San Luis valley, from whence 1t was
carried by the wind over the crest of
the continental divide and a hundred
miles or more to the eastward, where
it hung in suspension in the upper re-
gions of the atmosphere for many
hours, being too light to readily pre-
cipitate.
Not more than once in a decade Is
such a phenomenon witnessed in this
city, which, however, is often enough
to satisfy the yearnings of most peo-
pie. In some of the arid parts OF the
San Luis valley are hills of shifting
sand, not unlike those of Nevada and
Arizona. In such a windstorm as that
which prevailed on Tuesday a vast
quantity of light material is picked
up from their sides and carried over
the crest of the Sangre de Christie
range, where it spreads out like fan

aries under the new statute has been
fully determined, but it is proposed to
allow the maximum rate of 5000 to all
carriers on routes C twenty-four
miles or more in length, as shown by
records of the department
This ruling will give approximately
%, 800 carriers, or 60 per cent of the
whole number in the United States,
an advance in salary of $3.50 per an
mum. A substantial increase in pay
for other carriers is contemplated, but
the chief benefciaries under the new
law will be those serving the longer
routes, upon whom the greatest hard
ships of the service fall. Mr.. Law
renee, who carries the mail from the
local postofIice through Lincoln Park,
Four Mile, Orchard Park, and other
outlying districts east and north of
the city, has one of the most populous
routes to serve in the country, and,
as it is more than twenty-four miles
in length, he will come in for the
larger pay.
Carriers on the shorter routes,
ranging from twelve to fourteen and
from fourteen to sixteen miles in
length, now get $504 and s540 respect

ately better paid than carriers on
routes of twenty-four miles or more.
The pay of substitute rural carriers
will also be increased in many cases.
This advance in pay for carriers and
substitutes, it is estimated, will result
in an approximate increase of $5,90O,-
900 in the cost of the rural delivery
service

by. the, interstate commerce commits
sion yesterday that hereafter those who

pay full fare same as other people.
According to a local railway official
it has been the custom for men in the
stock business here if they wanted to
bring a carload or two of horses, cat
tie or hogs, from some point in the east
to get free transportation to that
point.
This is the way the matter was adj
justed with the railroad company.
A ticket was bought from Walla
Walla to the place from whence the
cattle were to be shipped and full fare
paid and receipt taken. When the
stockmen returned with his animals

agent at Walla Walla and get a re-

cattle were shipped, free. AS he had
no use for the return ticket it has been

Fully to appreciate the man, you

Walla Wallans are assured of a

of the United States will speak at the
Keylor Grand on the subject. THE po-

The subject is one which is of burn

we'll qualified to handle the question
in the best manner possible. He IS
said to be one of the best speakers, on
the American platform. His position

him the opportunity of knowing af-

can.

meager.

enough circulation to advertise its

bills and scattered them about the
streets.

tumbled. If a newspaper has not suf-

Now the interstate commerce COM
