/ Effective June l the Burlington &
Missouri River railroad, in connec-
tion with the Denver & Rio Grande
and Colorado & Southern, made a
reduction in freight rates to all
points in Kansas and Nebraska on
shipments of coal originating in the
Walsenburg and Canon City dis
tricts.
The Canon City district has all
ways in the past had 60c higher
freight rate on coal shipments than
the Walsenburg district. and in the
freight rate reduction which has now
been made shipments of coal from
Canon City have been given the
same rate as shipments from the
Walsenburg district; or, in other
words, reduced 60c per ton; and at
the same time they have been given
the same reduction of 25c per ton
which was given the Walsenburg dis
trictAIn shipments to Kansas and
Neb lka points, which means that
to points west of Grand Island, Neb.
the Canon City rates have been re-
Aduced Soc per ton, and to points
east of Grand Island. as far as Oma-
|'ha, reduction of 60c per ton has
been made.
The western slope mines have been
gradually increasing their sales into
Kansas and Nebraska for the past
three years in competition with the
coal from the Canon City district
upon a freight rate which varied
from 40c to 45c per ton higher than
the Canon City freight rate, the
sales of coal being made upon its
superior quality. This new reduc-
! tion from the Canon City field places
Z the mines on the western slope in a
lposition where they must compete
against the Canon City coal with a
freight rate of S1.05 to s1.30 per
ton higher than the freight rate en-
|joyed by Canon City coal, and prac-
|tically prohibits the sale of coal in
Kansas and Nebraska, except at sac
| |rifice prices and prices far below the
kcost of production.
The Sentinel is infoI med that one
| of the prominent mines on the west
! ern slope which had booked a large
humber of orders for shipment to
! Kansas and Nebraska during the
months of June. July and August has
.received cancellations for all of their
business pending this rate adjust
ment, and would mean the loss of
from 10000 to 10000 tons of bust

JOHN SECOR
LUCKY MAN

John ID. Secor, one of the
commissioners of this county,,
was one of the most fortunate
applicants in the great land OPP
ening of the Salmon river sec
ticn, being held at Twin Falls,
Ida, this week.
Mr.. Secor's name was one of the
first so names drawn from the box
the first day-Monday. In fact, his
was the 42nd name drawn, and there
by he was entitled to the 42nd choice
when it came to selecting the 100
acre claims from the sc, 0,OOO-acre
tract of fine land available for set
tlement
Mr.. Secor will be able to secure an
exceedingly fine tract of land. and
his good fortune may be more fully
realized when it is known that bo-
muses. of from $4,000 to $1,000 were
offered by many people for some of
the early filings. A bonus of 1000
was paid for the filing made by the
man who drew No. SO, and a man
who drew a still higher number was
given a bonus of 5000 to relinquish.
Each man who filed had to pay so
cents peracre to the government, and
will have to pay considerably more

made filings the first day. Many

Thousands of people were present
when the drawing began. The in

it is known that applications were

MANAGER wElTzEa.s aEnAaKs

Excerpt ireo Q Rsrssaal Leltse
The following EXCERPT from .
letter written BY Manager Weitser
to the Citisens' Committee Of
Rocky Ford, is self-explanatory.
Rocky Ford, Colo. Feb. "a, 1904
Dear Sir: We learn, through the
publication Of . resolution, that
the beet growers at . meeting held
At Rocky Ford ON the ed inst, re-
fused TO accept the scale Of prices
based on the sugar content Of beets
recommended by you gentlemen,
and saw it to censure you for your
oction in the matter.
We regret exceedingly that .
committee composed Of such lead
ing business men Of the Valley
should unnecessarily be subjected
TO such censure when they were
acting at the solicitation Of tbs
beet growers themselves. The idea
of a scale price was suggested by
your committee, and not by tho
sugar company, and also the prices
were, in our judgment, very high.
We, nevertheless, at your earnest
solicitation, agreed to recommend
their adoption, hoping thereby to
bring to an end the unpleasant diff
ferences between the Sugar com.
pany and the beet growers.
In view Of the fact that the
growers have refused TO accept the
scale of prices suggested, there
seems to be nothing left for US to
do but to return to our original
1903 proposition. We cannot con-
tinue to operate our factories
either at a loss or at an unieason-
ably small profit. We, therefore
prefer, If necessary, to work a
smaller acreage Of beets, even
though some of our factories must
remain idle, than to further en-
courage the growing Of beets re-
gardless Of sugar content.
We wish TO express to you our
sincere thanks for your efforts to
harmonize the different interests.
Yours truly.
FIR. WIETZER.

They say that Judith was tie orig

up ones skirts. Tradition has 1t that
Judith after having decapitated Holo-
fernss was compelled to gather up her
skirts In order to run the easier and
make good her escape from the aveng-
en-. Judith may, therefore. be said to
have invented the habit Of holding up
tie skirt; but, oh, to what depths
has that invention fallen! 1t is not
such 4 bad habit, taken all In all, for
b 1t remembered that, while men are
generally engaged in putting their
hands into somebody else's pockets,

There are a million ways Of holding
up, the skirt. II you men folks do not
believe 1t, just stand around 4 busy
shopping corner for an hour or two
and watch the passing show. There
are women who hold up their skirts
carefully and decorously. There are
others who walk about in utter def
ance of everything. Here are few
contrasts, any and all Of which any
ono can readily discover for himself o.
herself by personal observation.
The thin woman pulls her dress

The widow holds her skirts In both
ways at the same time-that is, like
