HOLDS UP TRAIN TO SAVE
MARooNED ANGLERS,

This is true story and not fish
story, though its eighty heroes, who
spent good part of Sunday night in
the wilds along Frying Pan river, near
Basalt, were fishermen, and all had
good luck Sunday.
But the story begins when the fisher
men, prompted by the lengthening shad
ows of the mountains, packed their
tackle, gathered up their catches and
assembled about the flag stations along
the creek to wait in the rain for Mid
land train No. 6 due at clock.
But at s O'Clock the train did not
come, and it had not yet arrived at
o'clock. The fishermen began to
grow restless, and J. M. Bradley, chief
clerk to C. H. Speer. general ticket
agent for the Midland, was kept pretty
busy explaining how it came he did
not know why the train was late.
Denver members of the party declare
that it was remarkably dark and dan
gerous looking down in the bed of the
canon along which river and road run.
No trains were passing either way, and
they were beginning to grow desperate,
when Price Sloss, ranchman living in
the neighborhood, rode up the canon
following the railroad track most of
the time, and warned the eighty fish
ermen that they would have to find
lodging in farm houses or remain all
night in the open, as an accident near
Basalt had blocked the track.
After few of the party had taken
the riders adxiee and sought refuge in
cabins whose lights could be seen in
the neighborhood, train was heard
coming from the direction of Leadville.
council was Immediately called, red
undershirt was discovered, and it was
determined to stop the train at any
cost.
Bradley, being a railroad man, was
chosen to hold the shirt. A fire was
burning near the track, having been
built by some members of the party,
who thought it might prove a warning
to prowling beasts, and in the light of
this Bradley took his stand.
The train proved to be short string
of boxcars sent from Leadville to the
scene of the accident. 1t stopped prompt
ly at the sight of the red shirt, and the
fishermen clambered aboard.
eral miles from where they had been
fishing had caused several hundred tons
of earth to slip down upon the tracks.
When they reached the slide they com
PEELED the engineer to hitch caboose
onto the train and forty-one of them
crowded into it for the run back to
Leadville.
At Thomasville the party stopped,
and Bradley. as railroad man, was
again instructed that he must do some
thing for the passengers in the way of
procuring chairs and other means of
reclining. He accordingly collected all
the loose furniture he could find about
the station and slowed it into the ca
boose.
The party arrived at Leadville in
time to catch train No. 6 which, hav
ing been informed of the landslide, was
detoured from Grand Junction over the
Denver and Rio Grande tracks to Lead
vile. The train arrived in Denver yes
terday afternoon about six hours late
with the fishermen, all well laden with
fish but in rather bad humor.-Rocky

EcoBNrR1c WEATHER WAVES.
strangest Occurred in the Summer Of
1912, When Frost Destroyed Crops

From Boston Globe.
The weather of the last few weeks
has been trial of patience and physi-
cal endurance even to those who or.
dinarily accept uncomplainingly the
heat and cold of the seasons. Some
of us may have concluded by this time
that the climate of New England, or
even of the whole country, is actually
changing-that the summers are get
ting hotter and the winters getting
colder.
The records, however, show that for
scores of years in New England there
has been no such eccentricity of
weather as afflicted this region in the
not remote past. In his "Recollec-
tions," S. G. Goodrich, the original
Peter Farley, preserves an account of
the extraordinary weather of the sum
mer of 1916, which was the coolest
that had been known here for a cen
tury, when in New England, from
Connecticut to Maine, there were Sc
we're frosss in every month. In that
year crops were entirely destroyed or
reduced in volume to less than one
half the normal harvest and the hills
in June were almost as barren as in
November.
So severe was the cold that many
thousands of people believed that New
England was destined to become a part
of the frigid zone, and in consequence
of this impression there was great
tide of emigration from this section of
the country to the west. t
AS compared with so distinct
meteorological ecccntricity as that of
the summer of 1916, the periods of un-
usual heat or cold which occur now in
New England are not to be seriously
considered. The records for any given
period, indeed, since the establish
ment of the weather bureau, reveal an
annual average of seasonable heat and
cold, which indicates no appreciable
change of climate.

legislature in proper form next year,
will be outlined editorially.
The particular fault, according to
Prof. Bell, is in the classification of the
counties with regard to teachers and
superintendents' salaries. AS it is, the
counties are classified by the legisla-
ture and q special ac, of the general
assembly only can change the class of
the county, which determines the sal
ary. The counties are divided into sew
en- classes. The superintendent of pub
lie instruction in a seventh class county
receives but 800 salary a year while
the same officer in first class county
receives an annual income of $2,s00
Mr.. Bell cites the county of Lincoln,
for instance. He says that Lincoln is
sixth class county and four years
ago was of the same class. At that
time, the county had 335 school child
ren and 80 teachers. Now the county
has ], 1,250 children and 900 odd teachers
and the salary is the same. The super
intendent's work is increased three
fold
In Cheyenne county, according to
Prof. Bell, which adjoins Lincoln coun-
ty, an example of another inconsistency
occurs. The school population, he says.
is $50 and the county is of fifth class.
The salary, by virtue of legislative en-
actment in this particular case, is $500
per annum with or without mileage, as
the board of count commissioners sees
fit. Prof. Bell pointed out that in one
COUNT in Colorado, the superintendent
of public instruction is Democrat and
the county administration is Republi-
can. Hence, the commissioners refuse
to vote funds for expenses and mileage.
Prof. Bell says that these conditions
The Glenwood post., 1908-08-08

are not consistent and he is advocating
an automatic regulation of the class
of the county, the salary of the super
intendent depending upon the increase
or decrease of school children.
Prof. Bell will spend eight weeks
beginning Sept. l, lecturing before in
stitutes in the state of Montana. He
goes upon request of the superintendent
of schools of that state.
