ROADS WILL FIX
SUMMER RATES
PASSENGER AGENT AssocIA-
TON TO HOLD MEETING
IN CHATTANOOGA.

Though the question Of the new
mileage books has been pretty thor
oughly threshed out BY the South
eastern Passenger Agents Associa-
ton, another meeting win be held in
Chattanooga on April 18th to discuss
the summer tourists rates and excur-
siens
mis- Is malte. OF greal import
ance to the hundreds in Brunswick
who annually take a trip to the
mountains, on the seashore, and the
decision Of the railroad men in he
matter viii be received with much
interest.
For some time a discussion has
been caused by the alleged antago-
nistic attitude OF the public generally
to the railroads ana it has been stat
ed that probably the cheap rates
that have heretofore prevailed might
be taken off or restricted. but ac-
cording to a prominent railroad off
cial Of this city it is quite certain
that the regular rates both for SUM
mer tourists tickets and Sunday ex-
eursions will be maintained
At meeting Of the passenge>
agents in Atlanta last week the mat
ter was expected to be considered
but owing to the press Of business
IN dispoaing Of the interchangeable
books to be put on April lst they
were unable TO complete their work
but will do SO in Chattanooga.

BOAT COMPANY
HAS A NEW PLAN
NAVIGATION ON THE ocMULcEE
WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY
LOW WATER.

a plan 10 make possible the nayi
cation Of the Ocmulgee river at ey-
cry part Of the year. no matter
whether the river is at the low stage
or not, Is now under Amusement o..
the directors Of the Macon and
Brunswick Navigation Company The
plan, though apparantly sil.iaie 20.
solves the problem and if car-.el clit
rwlI mean that freight can :akon
in regular trips up and down the
stream even if rain has not fallen in
weeks. asI,
The plan is to construct 10 ~,

boats upon which freight can be piled
high and which win draw but very
little water The plans also will nee
ess1tate the construction Of a tug boat
mat is 10 be propelled by q stern
wheel like the A. Il. Chappell
The tug is to draw but nine inches
OF water and will be used to tow the
two lighters between Macon and the
point where the water is deep enough
TO permit the passage Of the larger
steamers This point viii probably
be just belo3 Htwkinsville for below
that city the channel of the Ocmulgee
river is more pronounced and the
stream is lacking IN many sharp

If these plans are decided upon by
the board of directors at their next
meeting contracts viii be let at one.

Sad Tragedy
at Hotchkiss

The murder of his wife and killing of
self by M. U. Stoneburner in this
county the latter part of last week was
but one of a long list of such tragedies
occurring all over the country.
The opinion of neighbors that Stone
burner was insane, does not seem to
offer solution of the murder and sui
eide problem.
1t has got so that every daily news
paper you pick up has from one to
half dozen such accounts.
That man is insane, as rule, who
commits murder, and especially when
he shoots down his wife and then kills
himself in the presence of his helpless
children, leaving them on the world,
must be accepted.
Then the question is. how to treat
and prevent this epidemic of dangerous
insanity.
That the whole world is to blame for
much of it. is doubtless true. Parents,
teachers-particular doctors give too
little time and attention to the kind of
Ildt WOulu uidhe Lie races
physically and mentally sonnd.
Upon these teachings depend the
ability to overcome nearly all other
conditions, for the stnong, normal mind
is capable of adapting itself to almost
all situations in life.
Mrs. Stoneburner, whom it was
thought for time would survive her
wounds, was taken to the hospital at
Salida, where she died Monday morn
ing Her remains were taken to
Hotchkiss and laid beside those of her
dead husband.
Six children are left orphans by
Stoneburner's act, though not penni-
less. as we understand his estate is
valued at something like $25, ZOO.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS.
Feb. 25. Offerings of cattle
were liberal here last week and
trade very satisfactory. Prices
advanced 10 to Is cents early in
the week but later some of this
advance was lost, leaving prices
at the close much the same as a
week ago. Beef stuff from
northern Colorado feed lots made
up the bulk of the supply and
there was strong competition for
everything. Choice pulp fed
steers sold at $3.50 to S5. 90 with
a few loads of good corn feds
from western Nebraska at S4.70
to $4.85 and bulk of the better
class of killing steers at 4.35 to
$4.65. A string of fancy spayed
heifers brought S4.45 freight
paid with choice pulp fed cows
at S4.05 freight paid and bulk of
the good to choice cows offered
at SO. 40 to SO. 80. Medium to fair
COWS sold at $500 to $3.35. Bulls
were firm at S2.75 to SO. 40 for
bulk and tops at $3.50. Veal
calves in strong demand and a
top made during the week at
$3.50. Feeder and stocker sup
ply limited. Competition was
keen as yard traders and order
buyers were making good in
quiry while number of eastern
feeders were also here looking
for supplies. Most of the good
steers offered sold at 1886 to
$3.50. Today's receipts were
1000 head. Demand strong and
prices steady to Is cents higher
than last weeks close.
The sheep demand was good
and the market closed about
steady. Fat wethers sold at
1925, same as preceding week
and ewes ranged from 4.6O for
pea fed Mexicans to 4.75 for
choice northern Colorados. Ship
pers will do well to bill their
sheep and lambs via Denver as
there is a strong demand here at
prices fully in line with eastern
markets.

Local and Personal

Don't lay down the short line railroad
agitation. We need those rs miles of
road built. Or had Delta county better
keep on paying hundred miles extra
freight and passenger fare?
A splendid school year for Delta
county is going into history. In all de-
partments and grades excellent educa-
tional work is being done.
The parrot and Mr.. Bryan are not
the only ones that talk too much. In
these days the wise man keeps his own
counsel. Most of US. however, are not
built quite enough that way.
]. w. Miner, once connected with
the Montrose Press and later in the
newspaper business at Holly, is in
Delta today from Denver, where he
has been living since recently selling
his paper at Holly. Mr.. Miner has de-
veloped into landed aristocrat, own
ing land at Montrose, and city property
in Denver and at Holly.
There is no more inviting field for
capital than Delta county affords. In
the legitimate purchase of lands and
other property the investment is not
only safe, but affords. under anything
like fair management, profitable inter-
est returns aside from the natural ad-
vance of property values. There is
also room for much capital to be profit
ably placed in utilities and industrial
enterprises that are needed and which
promise large profits.

On Wednesday, Feb. 26, at high noon
the many friends of Miss Essie Gipe
and Mr.. Ernest Stolte. gathered at the
Methodist church to witness the cere-
mony which bound the two young peo-
pie together for life. The guests be-
gan to arrive early and continued to

took their places at the altar beneath a
graceful arch of green, ingeniously
wrought from pine needles and Oregon
grape leaves; and there Rev. Gebhart,
pastor Of the Methodist church stepped
before them and repeated the impress
sive marriage ceremony of his church.
The bride was charming in grey gown
beautifully trimmed in the same color.

Posses are securing the hills ana

Unexplained bad feeling between the

which happened at $3.50 o'clock yester-
day morning. Demeter was in his room,
writing at a typewriter when Elements
called and asked for him. Elements,

after a shot was heard. Elements
bounded down the stairs and dashed

RECORD FOR JUNE.
Rainfall So Far Passes All Previous
Marks for the Month.

The heavy storm area that has been
covering the entire intermountain coun-
try for the last few days is passing
eastward, so that by tomorrow the
skies ought to be smiling. although to-
might showers are expected. The local
weather bureau recorded 0S of an inch
precipitation for last night-that Is, for
the heart OF the town. But the rainfall
through the mountains and along the
foothills was much heavier. During
1.-THE morning the showers wero very
heavy, 20 of an inch; but the clouds
cleared away by noon, and this after
noon is balmy and pleasant.
The total rainfall for the month of
June so far Is 1853 inches. which breaks
the record, as generally June Is a Light
month for rain, with a normal precipi-
tation of ~. So It will be seen that
this June runs a long way ahead of the
standard. The excessive rainfall has
so Injured the tomotoes In Davis coun-
ty that there will be only three-quar-
ters of crop. All of the streams there
and in Weber county are running bank
frll: and as the farmers are not us
ing water for Irrigation, very much
more water than usual is running into
the lake. Consequently a rapid rise Is
anticipated in the Great lake.
The trough of low barometic pres
sure continues over the plateau and
Rocky mountain slope, causing show
ers or thunderstorms over portions of
Utah. Idaho. Oregon, the Dakotas. Mon
tana. Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota
and Missouri. Showers are also re-
ported at Jacksonville and Boston. over
the north Pacific and north Atlantic
states the barometric pressure is high.
The temperature has fallen over the
middle and north plateau. north Rocky
mountain slope and Pacific states, and
risen elsewhere.
