Experience With Big One at

Three Mile Lake continues to furnish
sensational fish stories. The latest is
from the Rev. Mr.. Varoey. and anyone
who knows him will vouch for the truth

hooked a bouncer, one of the Charlie
Leach variety. After playing him for
some time the bass rose gracefully in
the air, shook he hook from his mouth
and was about to seek the limpid depths
OF the lake, when he happened to see
who the angler vas aud Immediately
changed his mind. He deftly hooked
his tail on and allowed himself to be
drawn in. As he lay 90 the bottom of
the boat he dropped a quarter out Of his
mouth for the home missionary fund.

Senator Harris Speaks.

The Denver Republican of Thursday
thus refers TO the address for former
Senator w. A. Harris of Kansas, vice
president of the Denver, Laramie and
Northwestern. before the Denver real
estate exchange at a dinner the day
before:
I'VE are now in the prelude to the
world has ever seen. The past is but
a school boys tale compared with what
will be brought forth in the next so
years. II has been but a process of
filling up the country and development
now lies before us. l was first attract
ed to the land through which this rail
road runs, by the law for the irrigation
of arid lands. To me farming had al
ways been a gamble with nature. Then
irrigation came and placed the wet and
dry season in the hands of the farmer
to a large extent. There is more LAM
in the valleys of the northwest fit for
cultivation and more water to be used
than anywhere else. 1t is a land of un,
developed resources, an area waiting
for agricultural development, while
the iron and coal feds are so lea to-
gether that a second Pittsburg is in
evitabe."
The chair was instructed by vote, to
further investigate the Denver, Lara
mic and Northwestern and prepare a
set of resolutions for action by the
exchange.

AFTER
HIS SALARY
JUDGE MlLLlkEN OF DENVER
SUES THE PROJECTED CHAT
TERToN ROAD FOR FEES.
Says He Was Attorney and Director
and Asks For Ten Thousand Dol
lars and lnterest-Line Projected
to Parallel the Proposed Denver,
Laramie and Northwestern.

The Denver, Yellowstone and Pacific
railway, surveyed to parallel the sue
cessfully projected Denver, Laramie
and Northwestern, is being sued in the
United States district court by john
Milliken, a the Denver Times. Milli-
ken claims that his fees as attorney
have not beer paid; hat he advanced
money, and that he has not been given
his wage for serving as director of the
road. He was oil the board of directors
as well as being the general attorney.
Governor Chatterton of Wyoming
was the promoter of the defendant
company . With him were associated
b.. S. Chenoweth and a number Of
other well-known men of the west.
Separate from Harris Road.
The Denver, Yellowstone and Pacific
has nothing whatever to do with the
Denver, Laramie and Northwestern.
Into the latter Kansas investors are
now pouring their money and construc-
ton will begin at once.
The railroad being sued, which has
ueNtT IGdCueu Inc COHSll uCllOh oIdSt'
was organized in 1904. Much was e
pected of it, as it penetrated some of
the best territory in northern Colorado,
and for a large part of the distance
went through the same country as the
now successfully financed Denver, Lar.
annie and Northw 'stern.
Former Governor at Head.
With Governor Chatterton of Wy)-
ming as one of IS originatorS it was
thought that the money for the con.
struction could easily be raised. But no
progress has recently been reported.
A great deal of money was spent in
preliminary work. The survey was
completed to Laramie and lines had
been run as far as the Yellowstone
park. Ultimately it vas the intention
of the promoters to get to the Pacific
coast at Seattle, going through Idaho.
The total of the sum due him, Mill,
ken says, is about $4,000 with interest.
The defendant company has filed d
motion before the court to have the
complaint made more specific.
