A Popular Move

/ G. H. Speers, general passenger
agent Of the Colorado Midland rail-
way, promulgated an announcement
recently which will come as good
news to patrons Of that popular road
In this section. He announces that
(dining car service, beginning October
u will be inaugurated between Dem.
yer and Colorado Springs on Midland
train No. 8, which will after the
above date leave Denver at 8 p. m.,
instead Of 8.45, as heretofore. and will
carry a diner out of Denver. Midland
train No. 8, (No. lO8 on joint track,
due In Denver at $40 a. m., will pick
up diner at Colorado Springs, serv-
ing breakfast between there and
Denver. This will enable passenger
to have a full days business In
Denver.
1.-The new service is In response to
a popular demand" said Mr.. Speers,
when asked why the increased facil-
tiles looking to comforts and con-
veniences Of passengers were in
augurated. ''Our passenger business
has steadily increased for the past
few years, and we believe it will
grow to even greater volume when
we are able to offer our patrons such
modern conveniences as this service
contemplates. We find that great
many Of our friends and patrons want
as much time as possible in Denver,
and the diner for breakfast service
will come rs a boon to them, meaning
the saving of at least an hour in the
metropolis, an item which means
much to the average busy man.
have not the slightest doubt but that
the new dining car service will be
winner"

Farmers: Hay will be hay this
winter, take good care Of what you
have. Save the black hay. The cows
will get great deal out Of 1t. Sell
the scrub ponies or trade them of.
Fatten the worthless cows and sell
them to the butcher. Build managers
and sheds to feed the stock In. Try
to keep only the kind that you can
see profit in. The others will eat
their heads off. Keep cows that will
give milk and raise calves, and fur
nish butter. Trade some of the scrub
stock for one or two good cows. Take
care of the corn fodder and the straw
this year. You may need it. Build up
the stack yards, don't let the loose
stock run to the stack. Get ready
for fall blowing. Raise winter wheat.
Do few of those things and then
tell US In the spring how you came
out.-Vernal Express.

MEEKER, COLO. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 100
Rifle or New Castle

The New Castle Democrat Of late
date, after taking the Rifle Reveille
to task for some statements In the
controversy between the two Grand
river towns az to which Is the best
point for the southern end Of the pro-
posed Meeker-Grand river railroad,
goes on to say:
"There can be no question as to
where the road will do the greatest
amount of business" What can Rife
offer to Meeker, the White river val
ley and the rest of that great terri
tory in exchange for its wealth of
hay and grain, cattle and the mineral
products of the Rangely districts
not u1ucfSof anything except steep
railroad grade, similar to the Book
Cliff r. r. of Grand Junction.
New Castle can offer fifty miles OF
coal, with railroad grade at the tip
ple's end, in direct line all the way !;
a large agricultural area, partly de-
veloped, with an unlimited amount
of water; mountains Of white and red
sandstone for building purposes; mil
lions OF feet Of native lumber; un-
limited supply of brick and ere clay !;
portland cement rock AM lime In
any quantity; the Elk creek mineral
field which is rapidly developing into
shipper; a large yearly production
of ranch produce; and last but by no
means least uniform railroad grade,
cheaper of construction, with right OF
way partly secured.
1--WE do not blame our neighbor In
trying to secure that railroad, for
what has been the principal factor in
making Rifle thriving town, but
that stage line connection to Meeker?
"We too, are after that railroad and
have been for years, in fact ever since
the preliminary survey was made
years ago. The Democrat hopes to
see the town that can offer the best
advantages for the road to land It
and If our neighbor is successful New
Castle will come down In q bunch
and extend the right hand OF
fellowship"
In the above the Democrat gets In
some telling facts, and then winds up
in the last paragraph in fair and
neighborly spirit.

Itc.n be Remedied

One OF the latest freak rulings Of
the interior department Is that all
land must be proved up on before an
officer In the county where the land
Is located. This will result in the
people In eastern Rio Blanco county,
who are within a few miles of Yampa,
having to go to Meeker for their final
proofs. c. F. Egry, whose homestead
final proof is set for Sept. %, will
thus have to travel about 100 miles
additional distance, a matter Of great
Inconvenience and much added ex-
pense.-Yampa Leader.
That the state of affairs complained
of In the above exists is we'll known
to people of northeastern Rio Blanco
county and eastern Routt county.
And its existence Is due to the ac-
tions Of a thick headed prejudiced
former commissioner of Routt county
Is also very we'll known In this
county, at least.
1t will be remembered that the
initiative In an effort to exchange a
portion Of northeastern Rio Blanco
county for a portion Of northwestern
Routt county, was taken some few
years ago by eastern Routt county
people; and that when the commits
sioners of Routt, in response to re-
quests from their own people, met
the duly authorized representatives
Of Rio Blanco, for the purpose Of me-
gotiating trade Of territory, the
afOre mentioned commissioner OF
eastern Routt got ''a-bulling"-be-
cause as we have been told. he was
'called down" by the commissioner
of eastern Rio Blanco sometime pre-
viously on account of the way he was
handling joint road proposition,
with the result that the meeting
broke up with no action on the mat
ter of exchage of territory as was
desired by both counties.
That this exchange of territory
should take place for the benefit of
people living in both counties, is ap-
parent to all, but whether it will is
another story.
At the time negotiations were on
before a small sized mining excite
ment prevailed in the Blue mountain
region. That excitement has since
died natural death-like many pre-
ceding 1t, and that section has lapsed
back into Its true status-a good win
ter stock range. On the other hand,
1t is now we'll known that north
eastern Rio Blanco county contains
vast bodies of high grade coal; SO
from the taxable standpoint, people
of this county, speaking generally,
are not clamoring for change in
boundary lines. The matter COM
blamed Of can be remidied, II the
people interested go about 1t In
earnest.

Car :22 of the Lewiston and Water
vile run of the Lewiston, Augusta &
Waterville Street Railway came near
causing a serious accident Tuesday af-
ternoon on it's arrival from Waterville
at $50. by straddling the switch at
the north end of the siding in front of
the Federal building. The front set of
trucks took the switch all right, but
the rear set kept on the other line
which swung the rear end of the car
around so that it struck three men,
A. W. Stewart and A. NJ. Dow of this
city and an elderly man from Windsor
whose name was not learned. The
men were leaning on the fence that
has been built along the front of the
sewer trench and as the car swung
around the men were pushed against
the fence and the pile of earth on the
south side of the trench. The car was
stopped quickly and it is not learned
that any of the three men received
Sc we're injuries, although the old gentle
man from Windsor suffered quite a
shock and Mr. Stewart was somewhat
famed about the back.

PoWHATAN STREET EXTENSION.
Committee on Highways and Sewers
Holds Meeting Tuesday Evening.

In accordance with an order that
Powhatan street be extended easterly
to Gage street at a point near the
Eaton shoe factory, which was present :
ed at the May meeting of the city
council and referred to the joint stand
ing committee on highways and sew
ers. a meeting of that committee was
held last evening in the aldermen'G
room.
Quite a number of citizens from the
locality in which it is proposed to
make the improvements were present
and among those who appeared in be-
half of the movement were Joseph
Williamson. A. A. Nichols. J. M.
Nichols and II. Humphrey. Three pc
titions aggregating about ESQ sigma
lures and asking that the street be cx-
tended were presented and letter was
| read from George NJ. Ryder, superin-
tendent of the Eaton shoe factory.
which advocated the building of the
extension.
Civil Engineer Abbott submitted a
profile plan of the street which showed
that but one culvert will have to be
built, and his estimated cost of the
necessary work to be done was about
| 5000. At the present time the street
extends about $50 feet west from State
street and about $50 feet east from
Gage street. leaving between 500 and
500 feet of street to be constructed. 1t
| is claimed that the opening up of the
street would afford a direct route from
| State street to the shoe factory and
would be great convenience, as the
| only way to reach that vicinity at pres
ent is by way of Capitol street or Swan
street. 1t is also claimed that about
40 house lots would be opened up.
The committee adjourned to meet on
| the grounds at some future date, sub
ject to call of the chairman.
