these two cities by many hours. The
present railroads between Denver and
Salt Lake all skirt the Rockies, while
the Moffot road will be almost di-
rect air line thru the heart of the
mountains. You can realize some of
the obstacles to be overcome in build
Ing this road, when you learn that in
the first forty-five miles there are
twenty tunnels. In 1905 tunnel was
started that would take three years
to finish. This railroad when COM

Colorado is one of the most resource
full states in the union, but its prog
ress has been greatly retarded by
labor troubles. The trial of Steve
Adams brings to<memory the battle
between capital and labor which ended
in the gold mining districts being
placed under martial law. A great
number of miners were deported from
the state and no one was reinstated
unless he forsake his allegiance to the
miners union and joined that of the
mine owners union. This caused the
majority of the. most experienced
miners to leave the state. The mine
owners imported thousands of for
eigners, and these men were all green
hands and knew little or nothing of
mining. Their lack of experience
caused many serious accidents, and
their labor is far from satisfactory
The business men have found that
Mr.. Mum or Mr.. Finn is not sas free
with his money as his predecessors
Ninety cents of ever dollar he receives
will never again see the light of the
Colorado sun. This has become quite
a problem, not alone to the merchants
but also to the mine owners who have
large general stores in the mining
} towns from which heretofore the,
, have derived large income.
The fertility of the Colorado soil II

How SChWab "Made
Good"

A Pittsburg man tod me the other
day how Charles Schwab maze good
with Andrew Carnegie, says, the New
York Telegraph" There have been
plenty of stories about the steel king
being charmed by Schwab's winning
smile, by his piano playing, and by
several other things. But the real
thing that caused Mr.. Carnegie to cot
ton to the chubby-faced Pennsylvania
mountain boy was the fact that he
was working.
The first few months young Schwab
was employed by the Carnegie Steel
company he was in the engineering
department. A lot of extra work was
to be done, and the boys in that de-
partment were ordered to work over
time doing it,
GLOW are you getting along?" in-
quired Mr.. Carnegie one day.
"Oh, they'er all working, but the
only live one on the job is that young
Schwab."
Allows thatl'
| "Why, he takes an interest in his
job. He's there early and stays late.
He never grumbles about the overtime
and just so he makes himself useful
and adds little every day to what he
knew the day before he's satisfied.
The others are there simply because
it's job, and they need the money.
He's trying to learn the business and
to get to be something better than he
is now"
Just that little remark was the MAX
ling of Mr.. Schwab. Carnegie was
always looking for men who we're net
working for salaries, but for a chance
to work into something better than q
salaried job. He sent for young
Schwab. looked him over and six
months later the youngster who was
wanting to learn something was the
chief engineer at the Edgar Thomson
plant, then general superintendent OF
the armor plate department, next
president, next president of the Steel
, trust-Ex.

Rock Me to Sleep.

Six Months. so cents.


Backward turn backward, oh Time in your flight,
Make me child again just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair.
Over my sumbers your loving watch keep,
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep!
Over my heart, in the years that are 1own
No love like mother-love has shone;
No other worship abides and endures, ~
Faithful, unselfsh and patient like yours;
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary brain.
Slumber's soft calms DER my heavy lids creep;
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old,
Let it drop DER my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
Fol-. with its sunny-edged shadows once more
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yore.
Lovingly softly, its bright pillows sleep;
= Rock me to Sleep mother, rock me to sleep!
Mother dear mother, the years have been long
Since last listened to your lullaby song;
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhoods years have been only dream,
Clasped to your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep!

Cheered the Gallant
Crawford

The famous Huron convention to
decide the republican leadership OF
the state closed Tuesday with a great
victory for Gov. Crawford who heads
the delegation to the national CON
vention. or the contending elements
In the convention, one represented
the people, the other the corpora
tiOns, and the corporation crowd
went down to defeat final and com
plete.
The March primaries settled the
contest but the enemies OF reform
were not satisfied and carried their
lost cause to the last ditch and met
their Appomattox under the leader
ship Of a man with blistered feet.
Z The contest at Huron practically
settles the result Of the June primar-
les, because the people are determined
to wipe out the last remnant Of o
poration rule In this state, and the
tempter Of the republicans at Huron
made it plain to Mr.. Kittredge that
the people are In the saddle to stay,
and no one has ever doubted the re-
suit of a battle when the people are
fully aroused.

One of the most amusing and with
all one Of the most enjoyable April
fool parties ever held in..Canton, took
place at the home Of MI. and Mrs.
Gilbert Satrang ON the afternoon Of
April first, and the facts are just COM
ing to light. Severt Skartvedt and
wife were discussing the best means
by which to enjoy a little fun on
April first. They decided to tele-
phone a number of ladies that Mrs.
Satrang would be pleased to enjoy
their company ''this afternoon" over
a cup Of coffee, and these coffee events
always prove to be pleasant. The
ladies were only too willing to enjoy
the splendid hospitality Of Mrs. Sat-
rang, and they began to arrive at the
Satrang home promptly duly cos
TUNED for an ''%afternoon out" Mrs.
Satrang naturally presumed that tie
first few arrivals were tout visiting
and seemed pleased over the kindness
Of her friends. As the ladies contin-
ued to arrive in increasing numbers
Mrs. Satrang naturally believed that
her husband had suddenly found a
great fortune and he had invited the
ladies in to enjoy supper and help eel
citrate. Mr.. Satrang didn't show up
and the invited guests saw no signs
Of coffee, not even a fire in the
range as the day was hot. No one
this far had the temerity to discuss
the invitation or the Coffee" and
things got exceedingly interesting
just as Mr.. and Mrs. Skartvedt and
daughter came In to also enjoy coffee.
Severt's smiling face gave him away
as he began asking about the invita-
tion he received and how SO many
charming ladies happened in on April
drst, then they all discovered that
coffee and April 6rst we're somewhat
connected and that Mr.. Skartvedt
was charged with the Joke, and he adj
mitted his guilt by producing a de-
licious lunch which Mrs. Skartvedt
and daughter had prepared at, home
to save Severt's hair when he was
proven guilty Of one Of the most un-
ique April fool parties eyer given In
Canton.
