GREELEY CAR SHORTAGE.
Dealers Cannot Ship Potatoes East or
South.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Greeley says: Potato dealers have
practically been forced out of business
because Of the shortage Of cars, the
lack Of chipping facilities being worse
than in the late fall, when every possi-7
BILE effort was made to get cars.
The Union Pacific will furnish cars;
only to the Pacific coast, where there is
no demand for potatoes. Cars cannot
be obtained to ship into Denver and
there be transferred, as was allowed a
month ago. The 500 or GOO cars cwned,
by the railroad company are all on the
western coast and will not return iB
time to be used for the remainder OF
the potato crop.
The bulk of orders for this district
come from Texas and dealers abso-
utely refused to quote prices for Texas
points. Now and then car is obtained
from the Colorado & Southern road
and sent to old customers in Texas.
but the supply In no way equals the de
mand. Two-thirds of the potatoes have
gone to market There are $500 to g.
carloads on hand. Farmers are selling
freely and dealers are buying at from
60 to so cents hundred. hoping that
later cars may be secured for the crop
marketed.
January 9th a dealer shipped car
load of potatoes to Kansas City. The
merchant, after reasonable delay,
wired for information and the car was
found in the Denver yards. 1t reached
Kansas City February I'd, sufficient
time to have shipped it to Europe. The
Greeley Commercial Club wired to-day
to General Manager Hohler at Omaha
for immediate relief and has asked the
from this section to help
alleviate the car shortage.

NDEAN BILL

SENATE
MANY AMENDMENTS ARE
STRICKEN FROM MEASURE
Provision Allowing Full BIoodS
to Sell Their Lands Defeated.
Must Not Sell for Twenty
Five Years,

Washington, Feb. THE Indian
appropriation bill received rough
handling by the senate today. The
amendments of the committee, es-
pecially those suggested by the special
committee which went to the Indian
territory last summer to investigate
conditions, were nearly all rejected on
points of order.
The provisions which allowed full
blood Indians of the indian territory
TO sell their surplus lands was defeat
ed by vote of 81 to %. which leaves
in force the provision of the law
known as the McCumber amendment,
prohibiting the 9lienation of such
lands for twenty-five years. The de-
feated provision has been the subject
of debate for the greater part of the
past two days. After it had been dis
posed Of late today the other com
mittee amendments were defeated on
points Of order
The coal land amendment allowing
the surface Of the coal lands in the
Indian territory to be sold and which
was regarded as of equal Importance
with that providing for the removal
Of the restrictions on alienation, was
ruled out Of the bill on a point of or
der made by Senator Tillman.
Among the defeated amendments
were the following
Allowing the city aud law officers
In the territory to hold over until the
fate of the new state constitution
should be decided; requiring the re-
cording In the courts of all Indian
leases: authorizing the court of claims
to adiudicate private Indian claims;
allowing the surface of coal lands to
be sold In the territory of the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations; allowing
the canceling of certain Indian allot-
ments IN Nevada in furtherance of
reclamation projects; appropriating

Gentleman From Dona Ana

Didn't Have Anything to Do
With His Skiddoo Bill,
The Morning journal Bureau, /
Santa Fe . NJ, Feb. T. I


Representative Holt of Dona Ana
county, in an interview published to-
night in the Santa Fe New Mexican,
denies flatly and with some feeling
that he refused in the judiciary com
mittee an amendment to his skiddoo
bill, which was said to have provided
that 1t should be n high crime for any
members of the legislature to accept
a legislative appointment, as well as
one by the executive
Mr.. Holt says that the statement in
the Morning. journal Of Thursday to
that effect Is a deliberate falsehood.
In this statement the Dona Ana
county district attorney is misin
formed since the statement was not
deliberate falsehood but merely
result of confusion in the bills to
which the amendment was sought to
he applied. II Is learned today that
the amendment referred to on Thurs
day as having been offered in the iu-
dietary committee was not to the skid
doc bill but to house bill No. 26, in
troduced by Mr.. Beach. The state
ment that the amendment was sought
for house bill No. 23 was an uninten
tional error The facts appear to he
that the amendment was Offered to
house bill No 26 and that Mr.. Holt
refused to consider it, House bill No.
&c provides that It shall be misde
meanor for any member of the legis-
lature to accept any territorial office
at the hands of the governor. The
amendment sought to make the pro-
hibition apply also to legislative app
pointments. 1t is not unnatural that
