Denver.-Some OF the express
rates from Eastern points to
Denver have been reduced al
ready as an admitted result
of George j. Kindel's crusade agains,
the five great express companies. and
the case has not yet even come up for
trial before the interstate commerce
commission
IF we can achieve such concessions
for Denver by merely filing suit
against the companies. what great ad-

forty pounds as the particular in

Those familiar with the results OF
American exploration have known for
few years that there are three ma
tural bridges in southeastern Utah as
much larger than the natural bridge
in Virginia as Pixies peak is than
Mount Washington. 1t is only within
a short time. however. that much ac-
curate information about these Utah
wonders has been accessible. In 1905
an expedition of Salt Lake City men
visited them in company with an art
fst and surveyor. Pictures of the
bridges have lately been Published.
The Augusta bridge. with a span of
800 feet and a height of 265 feet. is
the largest. and so far as known there
is none larger in the world. The Car
oline bridge has a greater span. $50
feet. but is smaller in other ways; and
the third. the Edwin bridge. although
not SO high as the bridge in Virginia,
has a span several times as large. As
one has to travel hundred miles ever
a barren country to reach these mar
wells of nature. the summer tourist
will not visit them very frequently.

San Francisco.' Calm a voice so
low that it could hardly be heard in the
intense silence of the court room, Abe
Ruef, the notorious San Francisco
boss. before Judge Dunno, pleaded
guilty to the charge of conspiracy
brought against him in connection with
the bribery of the city's supervisors.
Ruef came into court so weak and
worn he could hardly stand. Since his
arrest and the invincible case that
had been built against him by District
Attorney Langdon and his assistants.
Ruef has become discouraged. The
efforts of friends to instill cour-
age into him have failed completely
and his defiant mood was soon
changed.
