RAPID PROGRESS
!. ON EXTENSION

THE OPENING DAY.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Roswell
Miller, chairman of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road. who
has just returned from a trip Of in
spection over the st. Paul's extern
sion to the Pacific coast, says that
the work is progressing so favora-
bly, that tracks will be probably laid
on the entire line by the end Of this
year, and that the st. Paul will be
in a position to run trains to the
Pacific coast by May, 1903. Already
the road is in operation as far as
Lombard, Mont.
Mr.. Miller said that. contrary to
the usual experience Of new roads.
the St. Paul extension, he expected.
would be self-supporting from the
beginning. In this connection he
pointed out that the st. Paul on the
completion Of its outlet to the Pa
cific coast. will be in position to
get from Eastern lines a good deal
of traffic which 1t has not been able
to command in the past. Regarding
the crop situation, Mr.. Miller said:
with good crops, as seems prob
able, business should improve mate
rally this autumn. Crops over our
territory are looking exceptionally
we'll. There has been somewhat toe
much rain and cold weather for
corn, but this will not damage 1t II
warm weather comes later. All
small grains are in fns condition
and there will be a heavy crop o.

LABOR NOT MENACED.
Justice Brewer Says All Alike Are
Restrained.

WORCESTER Mass. June 20
Justice Brewer. speaking at Clark
college commencement yesterday.
said, In part:
"As the population becomes more
and more dense and activities in
crease, the restraining power Of
equity courts is worth vastly more
than the furnishing power of the
criminal court. It is in line with
the highest thought Of the day. We
aim to stay the epidemic and not to
cure the ravages of the disease after
It was gained headway. We strive
to stamp out vice in the slums, not
by driving out the residents, but by
letting in the light and air and the
comforts OF civilization. To restrict
the restraining power Of the courts
is a step backward toward barbar-
ism instead of step forward to the
higher civilization,
''The court makes no mistakes ip
the granting of injunctions: nor do
they in judicial action. I know la
Dor organizations are specially ener-
get'c in claiming the power of the
injunction is used mainly against
them. OF course this is not true. In
functions are granted against all
sorts of persons and organizations
every day in the year. Look at the
acts of violence which have been
checked or prevented by this re-
straining power. It does not follow
that power should be used against
capital and corporations and not
against labor. The restraining now
er of the court Of equity should be
enlarged and not diminished and
the judiciary improved until all the
people will be assured that this pow
er is only used when necessary and
restraint imposed only when justice
demands"

LIVES HERE

]. B. Baum, the well known local
inventor, having now seventeen pat
ents to his credit, some of which
have already begun to pay him a
good royalty, is out with another
one, which is now going through the
patent office, which is perhaps one
of the best of his Inventions.
Everybody knows. who has ever
studied the conformation of loco
motive that the big headlight is To-
Gated right at the base of the smoke
stack, or to be more particular, right
directly in front of it, sitting on two
brackets fastened to the face of the
big boiler.
And it is also generally known
that this headlight, case and light
is immovable; that 1t does not move
either to the right or the left, save
when the engine moves in any direc-
tion.
In turning curve the headlight
would sometimes throw it's rays ov-
er in a field by the side of the road
and not onto the track, as the engine
curved Engineers have found this
great disadvantage many times. as
1t was impossible to see the rails on
curve.
The new invention of Mr. Baum
is to overcome this. He has placed
the headlight on pivot, which is
fastened to the floor, which rested on
the brackets and has then made it
possible by ball bearers to turn that
light in any direction either right or
left. This the engineer does bu a
lever that runs to his cab. The in
vention is very simple and If gen
orally adopted on locomotives may
be the means of saving many lives.
In rounding a curve the light can
be thrown a long distance ahead, so
that it is possible to see a train ad-
from another direction
round that curve. Mr. Baum thinks
that the one he has now for this
headlight, is one of his best inyen-
tions.

A STREET FIGHT
IS EXAGGERATED
No Serious Injuries and no Arrests Result From Insgn-
cant Row. yellow Story Widely Circulated
People Indignant

Again has Grand Junction been
brought into unpleasant, undeserved
and undesirable notoriety by the
Morning Yellow. Again has sensa-
tional, exaggerated and in the main
absolutely untruthful stories been
given publication not only in the
Yellow, but has been sent by en-
ployes of that paper to the Denver
morning papers. and as result to-
day Grand Junction is receiving the
worst kind of advertising through
out the state.
Anything to be sensational. no
matter what it costs the city or val
ley or how it besmirches the fair
name of Grand Junction-this is the
policy that has been carried out by
the Morning Yellow throughout the
months of its existence.
Time and again has the Yellow
published exaggerated and sensa-
tional stories regarding the railroad
situation in this city. and it has done
more to create hard feelings in local
railroad circles than any other ag-
ency
This morning, with great head
lines, Seven Strike Breakers Badly
Hurt in Riot Bloody Clash in This
CITY," the Yellow proceeded to re-
ldIe IN nOTIlDIa utldli tue SlOTN VI
an alleged CORY conflict supposed to
have occurred in Grand Junction
last night about $3.50 o'clock.
According to the Yellow there was
n terrible fight, lasting at least half
an hour, between non-union strike
breakers and union men. The SEN
sational story declared that seven of
the strike breakers were dangerous
ly hurt; that one of them was taken
to the hospital and that number of
men were taken to jail.
This same sensational story, with
new yellow features attached, was
sent in to the Denver News and the
Denver Republican, and was given
great prominence by these papers
this morning. and the impression is
out that a bloody fight occurred in
Grand Junction last night. If ever
there was a mountain made from a
mole hill; if ever a happening was
distorted and painted with thick
coats of yellow, this affair was SO
treated by the Morning Yellow.
Members of the unions interested
The daily sentinel., 1908-04-16

| in the strike are indignant over the
sensational writeup the Yellow has
given the affair. The unions have
done everything they can to avoid
trouble. The men of the local un-
ions are peaceful and discourage at
all times any violence. The strike
breakers brought the trouble on
themselves. Expressions of indig-
nation and disgust over the Yellow's s
action have been made by all who
are acquainted with the true details.
The true facts regarding the af-
fair are briefly stated. 1t was sim
ply an insignificant row and mixup
between a number of strike break
ers and a number of union men or
their sympathizers. The strike
breakers received their money yes
terday. Some of them boasted that
they would come up town and "clean
out the union men, Very few of
them had been uptown since they
were brought here.
About . O'Clock last night a gang
of about / 3 strike breakers started
up town. Some of them were drink
ing. They were denouncing union
men, assailing them with vile names
and running down the town.
AT lue INOy dlly SluD SdlOOn IHe
gang ran into a number of union
men. A clash occurred. At least
eight of the strike breakers at once
took to their heels. A few stayed
behind and number of blows were
exchanged, but the strike breakers
were easily worsted. No weapons
were displayed. No attempts were
made to infiict serious injuries on
anyone. 1t was simply brawl of
small proportions and lasted only a
few moments. Officer Patterson
came along and made the strike
breakers causing the trouble to go
home. officers were called, but their
services were hardly needed. No ar
rests were made. No man was SER
usly hurt. Nobody is in the hos
pital. The crowd had quickly dis
persed and everything was soon qui-
ct. No significance was attached to
the row by either side.
Yet the affair had to be painted in
lurid colors and the Yellow had it
sent out to advertise the city and
the valley.
