Blythe the Burlington road always won.
1t is not to be presumed that there
were no protests against this domina-
ton. From time to time men wearied
Of being driven like cattle and they
rebelled, but rebellion was quickly
suppressed. 1t meant little trouble
for Blythe, sometimes the performance
of a disagreeable task, as this or that
decent fellow was killed off and laid
in his political grave, but the dictator
was never unseated and his rule never
disturbed.
Years ago Judge Stutsman, prom
inent lawyer. and good citizen, de-
clared his independence and was put
forward by his friends as a candidate
for the republican nomination for con-
gress against Thomas Hedge. He
was cruelty slaughtered and crushed,
not merely politically, but in his pro-
fession and his business as well. For
a long time Judge Stutsman's example
restrained other rebels. 1t was hard
thing to do. to put Stutsman, a first
class lawyer and n good citizen, to
sleep politically in that way, but 1t
was necessary for the preservation OF
the Blythe dictatorship.
The machine in Burlington had many
ways OF reaching men. II a recalcitrant
republican or democrat who threatened
trouble, happened to be business man

FROM MONTANA
To THE GULF
PLANNED BY THE COLORADO
& SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
WILL HELP COLORADO
LINE FROM FORT COLLINS TO
CHEYENNE-DOUBL TRACK
SOUTH OF PUEBLO.

Denver.-The Republican Wednes-
day morning has the following:
New road to be built by the Colorado
& Southern;
Miles.
Orin Junction to Forsythe, Mont. 260
Fort Collins to Cheyenne, Wyo... 40
Double Track, Pueblo to Walsen-
DerS. 90
Available for the work:
reserve fund .$lO,0oo,ooo
Bonds in the treasury ..... 75,0O0,000
The Colorado & Southern will in the
near future begin spending millions to
complete 800 miles of new track and
carry out long cherished plans for a
north and south trunk line from Mon
tana to the Gulf of Mexico which will
gather enormous traffic from the East
and West roads and send it through
Galveston to the worlds markets.
This has been the ambition of Pres
ident Frank Trumbull ever since he
took control eleven years ago and
cemented the disjointed branches into
system which was one of two roads
! in the country to increase its net re-
ceipts during the last panic year.
The new road necessary to complete
the system has all been surveyed dur
ing the past year and with plenty OF
reserves in the treasury and the bal
ance of the system piling up a reserve
fund, it needs only the order to begin
grading.
The new track will be forty miles be-
tween Fort Collins and Cheyenne and
260 miles between Orin Junction. the
present northern terminus of the road.
and Forsyth, Mont. large town on
the Northern Pacific road.
The new Fort Collins Cheyenne divis-
ion will run through a fine farming
country for half its length and is eX-
pected to earn more than interest on
the cost. The new track from Orin
north will traverse a virgin country
of vast resources and much of which
is susceptible of irrigation and conver-
sion into homes for thousands. 1t will
run through the headwaters of the
Belle Fourche river. will run into the
beautiful valley of sle Powder river
and will cross the valleys of the
Tongue and Rosebud rivers on its way
into central Montana. This territory
is the very heart of the Wyoming cat
tie ranges and the soil for farming is
similar to the famous valley of the Big
Horn, which is unfolding an empire
under the touch of water and transpor-
tation facilities.
Three million dollars worth of bonds
for the initial expense will be sold at
once. Twenty-Five million dollars re.
ceived from the sale of bonds has been
spent in completing the southern end
of the road through Texas to Calves
ton and installing new terminals.
The company will still have $72, 1000,
900 of the $100,000,000 bond issue au-
thorized three years ago in its treas
ury to complete the northern end of the
system into the northwest.

Persons who complain Of the heat
when the thermometer reaches the
nineties." said a steamship engineer,
seldom think of the discomforts of
men employed in gas works. in blast
furnaces and in steamships, where
the firemen have to endure an atmos-
phere ranging from 11s to 140 degrees.
In all these and many other places
where big boilers are located, the
men wear very little clothing, and
while they undoubtedly suffer from
the exposure. they do not feel the heat
as much as might be supposed. The
explanation Of this fact is that these
men are not reached by the humidity.
They are working in places where the
artificial heat is SO intense as to drive
out the humidity. and 11s or more de-
