The Michigan Central railroad has
prepared map. which is reproduced
by The Times. showing the proposed
location OF the new union station TO
be built on the west side, and a plan
for rearranging the tracHage SO that
II will be most convenient TO the tun-
rel and the depot. Tentative plans for
the station have already been made,
but no definite arrangement looking
to it's actual construction have been
made. as ret. Before this can be done
many conferences will be necessary
between this road and the others that
will use the station and the tunnel.
The proposed location Tor the NAM
moth station. which win be one of the
finest structures OF It's kind on the con
tinent. is between Fifteenth and Ses-
enteeth-sts.. about block south o.
Michigan. This would make neces-
sary the closing OF Sixteentn-st- across

BRAKE Is A FARCE

Under the above caption, the Marble
Age in its last issue reviews to some
extent the recent visit to the marble
camp of State Labor Commissioner
Edwin Brake who is said to have gone
there for the purpose of settling the
troubles existing between the marble
workers and the officials of the Colorado
Yule company.
If you have been a reader of the
Marble Age, you are we'll aware that
its editor does not mince words or han
die subjects with gloved hands. He
seeks the right side of the questions he
meets and goes after the efllow who is
not on the square. In speaking of
Brakes recent visit and of the fnal
result of the labor commissioner gran1
stand play, the Marble Age said;
The $700fruitpicking talk that the
great democratic labor commissioner,
Edwin v. Brake, recently made to the
organized marble workers has turned
The Glenwood post., 1909-09-18

he wants to heap more expense upon
them by calling Barney and Joe back
to Denver for another seance and an
other open refusal to keep the pledges
made the people. 1--WE did not promise
the people direct primary law IS
the way one puts it, eve promised n
primary law,' he says. Ye gods!
what smooth way some democrats
have of avoiding a promise to the peo-
pie.
"They must get down to business
and let the people know whether they
are in earnest,' says the governor in
speaking of the democratic legislators.
1t is to laugh at such silly twaddle
from one who holds the high office or
governor of Colorado. Has he so soon
forgotten the dilly dallying of the
democrats last winters Does he for
one moment believe that the extra
session will see the pledges kept !?
What matters it if the democrats do
make good their pledges next April?
Are the people of Colorado so slow
that they will forget that their repre-
seutatives will double cross them if
given half chance?
No matter what the democrats do in
the extra session, their name is Dennis
at least so far as our senator and rep
rcsentativc are concerned Barney has
had a chance and failed and likewise
Joe, and the people are through with
them. It's too bad, too. They were
both such promising fellows during
the last campaign but when it came 20
making good their promises, Barney
was too busy memoralizing congress.
He had no time to keep pledges.

A GREATER GARFIELD COUNTY

The movement started Thurs
day evening through our Board of
Trade with a view to the organization
OF county commercial body, the Post
believes will finally result in much
good to every section of Garfield coun
ty, There is no good reason why
some general plan cannot be evolved
| for the advertisement and exploitation
of Garfield county as a whole without
at all detracting from the local pride
and local loyalty which the people of
each section naturally feel toward their
own immediate vicinity. Mayor Drach
was right when he said there need be
no conflict and no serious rivalry be
tween the citizens of the various sec
lions of the county, because of the
various resources of which our county
can boast.
The plan as outlined must necessarily
be of a cooperative nature. 1t must
be SO in the very nature of things.
Every good family which settles in
parneld county is OF value and, no
matter what portion of the county he
may choose to settle in, benefits every
other citizen in the county.
1t is Il mistake for Glenwood Springs
or any other town in the county to I'M
agine that she is independent of any
other town in the county. On the other
hand it would be error for the city of
to think that they were not benefited
by an increase in settlers and greater
development of the Carbondale section

cannot fail to be influenced, if only
slightly, by every improvement that

EIGHT BILLIONS

Almost incomprehensible figures
come out now and then in the reports
of steel corporations, manufacturing
interests, the carrying trade of the
railroads. We read the returns from
mines-gold, silver. copper-and be-
cause of the growing output we think
mines as the source of the greatest
wealth. But after all, it is the farmer
of the land who is of the greatest i'm
portance. The aggregate wealth that
he produced during the year 1908 bor-
dcrs upon the unbelievable. Neverthe-
less, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
is on hand with proofs of nature that
they must be accepted. The farmer
turned out in dairy products alone las
year nearly $500, 100000. His hens
eggs and poultry were worth as much
as the cotton crop or the hay crop or
the wheat crop. He raised corn meal
to the value of $l,6l5, 100000. With
such figures to begin with, we.are pre-
pared to learn that the farm products
of the crop year of 1908 totaled the
tremendous amount of $1,71S,O00,0
Would it be surprising to discover later
on that for the crop year of 1909 the
total was fully eight billions ?-Phila-
