Denver railroad men are expressing
some fear as TO the decision of the
Western Passenger Association on
summer tourist rates. The time is
near for the annual announcement, and
from Chicago comes an inkling that
rates will be higher than last year, be-
cause the trunk lines expect to get out
of the tourist what they will lose by
reason of 2-cent fares in the three
states named.
While no direct information has
been received on the subject, there is
considerable nervousness among local
passenger men, who are eager that last
seasons basis of rates be maintained.
There was rate from Missouri river
points and from Chicago of one fare
plus So At intervals through the sum
mer there were occasions when the
tourist from the Missouri river could
buy a round trip ticket for SIS. Dur
ing last summer the regular one-way
fare to the Missouri river was reduced
from $3.50 to s1G.15, so that, if the
same basis is adopted during the com
ing summer-one fare plus s2-the
general round trip rate. effective from
about January list, and good to return
until October 31st, will be S1S.15, In
stead of $3.50, as heretofore.

SUGAR is GOING TO ADVANCE.
Commission Merchants Say 1t
Cheaper in Colorado Than
Elsewhere,

Denver.-At present Colorado is get
ting its sugar cheaper than any other
section of the country. The advance
OF 10 cents a hundred in cane sugar,
which became effective in the eastern
n arket n few days ago, mas not
reached Colorado, but the market here
is strong, with indications for an adj
vance of like character Missouri river
points are already paying the IN
creased price. Granulated sugar was
quoted here yesterday at $50 TO the
jobber and $500 to the retailer. On
the basis Of present prices at Missouri
river points, freight added, the price
here would be s5.37 instead of $50,
so that Colorado consumers are, at
least for time, getting the benefit OF
lower prices than points more favored
by freight rates.
Denver brokers state that the east
ern advance is due to the fact that the
Cuban crop has been disposed of. An
advance usually comes about the list
of April, when the market is relieved
| o. the Cuban product This years
| crop was a little short of normal, be-
cause of political unrest in the island.
Further advances may be looked for
| throughout the spring and summer, SUI
gar reaching its high point for the
year usually when the canning season
begins and the producer needs it
worst.
! Brokers maintain that the law oil
supply and demand alone governs the
| fluctuations of the market, that the
trust simply lets nature take her
course, and that nature is always very
| ccommodating-to the trust.

| writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
| ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
sluggish mental condition.
when l realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, / concluded to
try it. had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that l no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag, and that could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, result due
to Postum Food Coffee, l am satisfied.

the members of my family use it, that

The surveyors that have been at work on Bank street reached the end of that line to-day and then started work on James street.

 James street is the point at which the Town Plot Improvement society wished the trolley extension to start from. It does not follow, however. that the system shall be taken up that street.
