Northern Pacific is tracing over

known as the railroad builders of

practically every employee re-
tanning his position except Pres
ident Trumbull who retires in
favor of President Burris of the
Burlington.
Just what it means to Colorado
and Gunnison can only be con-
jectuEed but there will un-
doubtedly be something doing in
the railroad line. Hill did not
acquire through line to the Gulf
without intending to use it exten-
sively and he has the reputation
of upbuilding the country through
which the lines pass. We can
not believe that he will let a
stretch of branch line like the
Gunnison Lcadville division de-
generate further into streaks of
rust when little money spent in
Improvement and extension to
the North Fork and to Marble
would make ii one of the richest
feeders on his system. Now is
the time, while spring work is be-
ing planned, for the Gunnison
Chamber of Commerce and tor
commercial bodies of Paonia,
Hotchkiss, Delta, Crawford and
Montrose to take up the question
with officials of the road. Quite
plainly the Colorado & Southern
is going to be the trunk line TO
the gulf, whence fruit shipments
to Atlantic and European markets
must go. Here is the opportunity
to free ourselves from the trans
portation bondage that has held
back development on the Western
Slope. Let US make the effort
while the situation is still fuid.-

Those of the opinion that
Home, Sweet Home" is a quiet
pastoral Ilay, had better go to the
l.. o. O. F. auditorium and disa-
buse their minds. The same re-
commendation is made to those
fond of stirring melodrama. 1t is
true that Home Sweet Home"
takes one back to childhood days.
Back to the old home, with all its
comedies and many of its trage-
dies. The play is thoroughly hu-
man and the heart interest in the
rural drama never wanes. But
aside from this phase there are a
number of melodramatic situa-
tions that cannot fail in rousing
anyone to enthusiasm. Added to
this there is a vein of comedy,
decidedly pleasing. The play
deals with a young Southern girl,
who has fallen into the hands of a
fiend who, after running her, de-
serts her. The play opens with
an Indiana farm. The girl has
been adopted by a well-to- do
rancher. Eventually the william
bobs up. The story of the hero
ines downfall becomes known
and she is cast out by her adopted
father. OF course. eventually she
is taken back and the william
meets his punishment. but not
until some very stirring scenes.
chief among which is the attempt
ed robbery of apay car. The real
hit is made by Anna Robinson.

Taft More Glad Than Knox.

Augusta. Ga. Dec. 19. - President Elect Taft, commenting today on the fact that Senator Knox had accepted the offer to become secretary of state in his cabinet. said he was more glad of that fact than Senator Knox.
 Il feel that l am to be congratulated in securing the services of Senator Knox in my cabinet.' said Judge Taft. In selecting a secretary of state l wanted, first great lawyer. and, sec ond, man who would fill the public eye not only here, but abroad, as a man who stands out pre-eminently as great American.
 MT. Knox was a great attorney gen eral He was a prominent candidate for the presidency, and he is rccog- nized in the senate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body.'

 Be Congratulated on Getting Such Great American as Premier. Washington, Dec. l9. Senator Phi. ,andcr (. Knox of Pennsylvania, for mcr attorney general of the United states, today told why he had accept ed the position of secretary of state in President TaftS cabinet.
 1 "I have had the offer under consid- eration for some time" he said, and have been persuaded by those with whom I have consulted that it is my i lear duty to accept.
 "l shall leave the senate with great regret, as l have enjoyed it's duties and associations. and with even great er reluctance l shall lay down the { commission of the people of Pennsyl- vania. who have so Splcndidly sup ported me by their approval of my public service.
 With me" he added, public service Is duty which l accept, not because of any honor which l feel may de- rive therefrom, but because feel that i l owe it to my state and my country. l have therefore accepted philosophic- ally the offices which have come 10 me. being content to remain where l was. serving as long as l felt that l was doing my duty as a citizen there by.
 Tt was last Sunday morning in New York city that My Taft put the ques- i ton to me point blank as to whether 1 l would accept the position. l thought over it carefully. and at last having | decided that it was my duty to accept, I sent to Mir Taft telegram ill which i l informed him that I would accept.
 No man should enter public life for : the sake of the honor which he will receive or which he can draw there from. Duty is the only motive which should actuate any man in accepting the responsibility"
