Colorado Railroad Progress.

Denver. cr.-Eicctrincation of railroads
seems to be- the order ot n. day anil
numerous Colorado roads arr no~ pre-.
parinx to apply the Juice To parts of
their lines. Gigantic power companies
ar- thro~ inr their currents all over the
state. rendering electricity n compare
lively cheap commodity. and as u
is NOR. available In some wayt
than Ei-a.i power. u will bc used very
extensively In the near future.
Tn. Colorado e. Southern railroad
has aboa, completed Its electric linc To
Boulder. Eidorado Springs and other
points. Twelve big new ears are being
finished Tor thiu service. and beginning
May LIST. or thcrcabouts. hourly cars
will run between Denver ani Boulder.
The cars are to be delivered In Den.
vcr April :Sth md II IL thought pos.
sibic TO pu. them In us. by May LIST.
This electric line built by the Colo
RADIO & Southern follows righ; along
the n. oi tn" steam road. and will he
devoted rImoat entirely to passenger
traffic. The cars will enter Denver
over the Twcnty.thir street yiaIuct
and pass over Arnpahoe street. This
will affo,d suburban service TO such
places ms Harris and other country
sites near Denver.
The Moffnt railroad Is now figuring
with the Central Power Company for
electric power In handling heavy trains
over mountain grades. Electric power
enables trains to take the grades with
comparative ease and II the present
plan works out rs anticipated the
heavy freight trains may all be taken
across tho steep grades OF the divide In
this manner. Electric engines would
be employed at the necessary points to
take the trains over.
Work Oh the Moirat road proper Is
now progressing rapidly and steel rails
are now being laid on the other side
Of harmony. A tracklaying machine
is being pressed into service. making 1t
possible to lay about two miles per day.
About 1000 men will be employed to
take the line into Steamboat Springs
as soon as the weather settles.

Cook Score. Plnehet.

washington.--In the closing debate
in the House on the agricultural bill,
Representative Cook challenged the
statement recently published by For.
ester Pinchot that the receipts Of his
bureau are In excess of the eXpendi-
tures. He cited the testimony OF MIR.
Pinchot before the agricultural com.
mittee that expenses Of his bureau for
the year ending June 30. 1907, were
s64. 600 in excess Of the receipts.
He predicted that the receipts for
the current year would not show an
increase, as predicted by Pinchot. but
on the contrary. would show de.
crease on account of the inactivity in
mines usually using large quantities
OF timber. Mr.. Cook said further that
the price placed on mining timber by
the bureau. IS per thousand, is unreas.
enable and excessive.
He called attention to the arbitrary
ruling of the bureau requiring mining
companies purchasing timber to cut
and remove 1t from the forests within
n year. In closing he said:
Now what we want in Colorado in
the management of the forest bureau
Is less sentiment and more practicable
ity, fewer Harvard graduates and rough
riders and some practical lumber and
millmen who know something about
the business from experience, and that
the forestry bureau shall comply strict.

State Land Sales.

Denver.-Three large sales were
recorded of timber and farm land in
the state office April list and the graft
flying thing about this fact in the eyes
of the land board was that double the
appraised value was received on the
timber land and over double on the
farm lands.
The bidding was spirited in all sales.
A timber tract in Archuleta county
brought into the state Golfers $l2.75o.
The tract included 100000 feet OF
timber, appraised at 50 thousand
feet but was sold for Sc a thousand to
c. w. Houser of Pagosa Springs.
An eighty-acre tract of farming land
in Jefferson county. appraised at SEE
an acre, sold for $63 an acre, or total
OF $5.O40. The purchaser was tho
Farmers Highline Canal & Reservoir
Company.
Forty acres of farming land in Logan
county was sold to n. f. Jeffries of At
wood, Colorado. for 500 an acre. the
appraisement being s25 an acre. The
total realized on this tract was $2,I6a.

Probing the Paper Trust.

Washington.-In his capacity as a
member Of the House. Speaker Cannon
Thursday introduced resolution di.
recting the attorney general to trans
nit to the House the papers bearing
on the investigation into the affairs
OF the print paper trust" A resolu.
tion giving similar directions to the
secretary of the Department OF Com.
merce and Labor also was introduced
by the speaker.
Speaker Cannon said:
1.-THE duty on print paper is fifteen
per cent. ad valorem and has been the
same since 1890 under the Mckinley
law. the Wilson law and the Dingley
law, covering period OF eighteen
years. 1t is claimed that the price
has been advanced within the last few
months, largely more than equal to the
duty. II the claim Of the publishers
Is correct. the advance in the price is
not due to the duty. but results from
the illegal trust and combination. II
the small duty were repealed, 1t would
not interfere with the illegal trust
agreement"

Five Million Carnegie Gift.

New York.-Announceme was
made Friday night that Andrew Carne.
gle would add $5,0O0.00O to the fund Of
the Carnegie foundation or whatever
sum might be necessary to include as
pension beneficiaries eligible profes.
sors of state universities.
No provision was made for this class
OF educators in the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr.. Carnegie at the
time, that the donor thought 1t possi-
BILE that such institutions might prefer
that their relations should continue
exclusively with the state from which
their chief support was derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma
tional Association of State Universi-
ties, which In the year following the
establishment of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits of the retiring allowance
system. 1t was then found that the
earnings of the original fund of $1O.-
100000 were exhausted through tlse
outlet already planned and that il the
faculties of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional $4,000
900 would be required.
