CATTLE FEEDING IN TRANSIT
Ruling that Railroads Must Extend
This Privilege TO Points East
of Missouri River.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Interstate
Commece commission in a decision holds
that the practice Of bringing cattle from
western Nebraska and stopping them off
en- route to be fattened before being sent on
to market at the through rate Discriminate
against Iowa points. The case in point
was the Corn Belt Meat Producers associa-
ton against the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad company and fifteen other
carriers, and 1t appeared that the feeding
in transit privileges extended by the tariff
of defendants in territories west of the
Missouri river is not permitted at Iowa
points. The commission held that this re-
suits in unlawful discrimination against the
Iowa points and the complainant and that
the grouping should be revised.

SToCKMEN ARE PERPLExED
waiting TO see How Railroads
VIII Apply Commission
Rule,

Local stockmen are p%erpIexed as to the
effect Of the recent ruling Of the Interstate
Commerce commission, ordering a re-
adjustment Of the feeding in transit rates
SO that Iowa feeders may stop western
stock to feed the same as Nebraska feed
Crs may now do.
All the Nebraska railroads have a tariff
now in effect, and has been effective for
a long time, which provides that when
stock originates in a certain territory 1t
may be stopped at intermediate points in
Nebraska to fatten, with an additional
charge Of 7 cents per hundred above the
through rate TO market. This gives an
opportunity to stop range cattle in Ne
braska to put the finishing touches on
them with Nebraska corn. This privilege Is
accorded to practically all the territory
west OF the Missouri river.
The Iowa shippers have not enjoyed this
rate, but II a feeder wished to stop range
cattle at his station IN Iowa to fatten
them he had to pay the local rate from
Omaha and then when he shipped on to
Chicago he had to pay the local rate to
Chicago. The shippers claimed this was
equivalent to discrimination and appealed
to the Interstate Commerce commission for
a rate similar to that enjoyed by the Ne
braska shippers.
The commission has ordered this rate, but
just how 1t will be put In effect by the rail-
roads remains to be seen. on the way 1t
is put into effect 1t is admitted depends
the harm or good It will do to the Omaha
market.
When the commission ordered a readjust-
ment of material rates from the south
through Lincoln the railroads responded
by raising the Omaha rate to meet the Lin
coin rate and 1t is feared some such re-
adjustment might be effected in this case.
Until 1t is seen how the adjustment is
made It cannot be known just how the
Omaha market will be affected.

A THATCHER BANK

Means unguestioned reliability coupled
with high integrity; it means the ability
to care for its customers when loans are
necessary; it means assurance that care
full and conservative management of the
bank is the first principle. The officers
and stockholders of The First National
Bank of Delta are proud that their in
stitution is rapidly becoming known as
one of the banking houses of Colorado S
most stable financiers.
1t is well known that Mr.. Thatcher
never allows his name to be associated
with a bank that cannot show absolute
soundness and conservative management
at the time his interest is taken-there-
fore no greater compliment could be ac-
corded TO a Delta institution than that
he should, after careful examination, be
willing TO give it his hearty support.
We wish, at this early date, to CRATE
fully acknowledge the appreciation the
public have already shown in our having
given Delta bank whose strength could
not, at any time, or under any circum
stances, be doubted. If you are not
now one of our customers, We invite you
to open your account with us and receive
the courteous treatment accorded to all
Should you stand in need of funds. or
have money to loan; and if you wish to
leave funds with us as savings deposits,
we will pay you the highest rate of in

Only an Opinion.

If the republicans want to car
ry Colorado this year they must
put up clean, honorable men
men who have not been mixed
up with Peabodyism, Mcdonald
ism or Bucktailism. Those three
names are extremely nauseating
to the people of Colorado. -Pu-
eblo Opinion.
1t is we'll enough to remember
in connection with such COM
ments as the above, that the Re-
publican party is larger than any
person it has ever honored by
election to high Office, and, as a
whole, is much greater than any
one mans opinion, whether that
opinion be expressed individually
or in a newspaper editorial. Mr..
Peabody, Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr..
Buchtel, each have their friends
and each has had the conditions
of a particular epoch to meet.
The trouble with too many peo-
pie and with too many newspa-
pers, is, THAT they exalt their
own opinion to the dignity of
precept for the party, while, in
reality, it may express little
more than a personal sentiment.
The Republican party has, in
nearly every instance, proven
great enough to take care of it
self, and it owes its greatness
and perpetuity to the mass of
brains its conventions assemble
much more than to any dis
gruntled opinion which may be
published between times. Press
criticism is all right; may be re-
garded as a good thing but it
must go for just what it is worth
and no more.

A Financial Puzzle.

The worlds production of gold
was S425, 600, 600 last year and
continues to climb. A hundred
years ago the yield was S12, 0O0,-
600. Eight years ago 1t was
1852, 600, 600. The worlds stock
of gold has doubled since 1893.
In recent years the line of profit
in working gold ores has been
lowered from SD to S2. The out
put is practically sure to go on
increasing. 1t is said that this
great yield of gold is the main
cause of the advance in the cost
of living. If this theory is true.
the farmer is indebted to the
gold mines for good returns for
all his products, and the work
man is similarly indebted for en-
larged wages. But on the other
side is the larger outgo for neces-
sites. In striking the balance
the advantage is decidedly on the
side of present conditions.
Steady employment at good
wages is more than an offset for
living expenses, which are to
some extent adjustable.
In Mr.. Bryan's famous Chicago
convention speech he said the
bankers of the world had cor
nered gold. aud that a few of
them met daily in a back room
to fix its price. He is likely to
be the Democratic candidate
again this year. What has he to
say now of the gold supply and
the cost of commodities? The
low price of farm products in
1896. and for several years pre-
ceding, was a theme on which
he spoke pathetically. He de-
nounced what he called a con-
spiracy to cruelty mankind on
cross of gold. Now the CON-
plant is that gold pours out sc
freely that prices, in which it is
measured. are soaring. Another
branch of the subject is dearth
of currency, with nearly $500,
600, 900 year in fresh gold com
ing from the mines. But, after
all. these problems are on the
side of plentitude, and no doubt
can be worked out satisfactorily
unless there can be too much o.
a good thing like gold.
