ducts Of that section H. via Grand

tance 10 Denver Is 493 miles. while
by the new line 1t would be only a
matter of 210 miles OF less. There
IS not the slightest doubt but that
tins plan is the most feasible scheme

slope North Fork editors say the

Baldwin does not pay, aud that IL
never will pay until the rich fruit
and farm lands OF the North Fork
valley are tapped by the extension.
II Is said there will be 5000 cars of
fruit shipped from that valley this
year, and il is pointed out that this
would be an inducement Of itself
worth while TO the railroad to say
nothing of the tributary territory
which would be made accessible to
the new extension. The papers
print maps showing the proposed
routes and the present routes to back
up their claims for the practicability
and the utility of the proposed ex-
tension.

Tuesday morning Mrs. Addie Nc
Allister of Doyleville was adjudged
insane in the county court and sent
to the Work Institute for the insane
at Pueblo. This is a private insti-
tation. Sheriff Hanlon and wife
accompanied her to Pueblo. A sis
ter, Mrs. +. A. Sharon, of Spring
vile, Kansas, reputed to be quite
wealthy, has been notified and will
undoubtedly take care of her.
Mrs. McAllister has been a woman
of ability and force of character, and
her mental state is much regretted
She has been more or less deranged
for some little time, but it did not
become so noticeable until a few
days ago, when she began to talk of
her hallucinatlons. by advice of
the court she was taken to the home
of Sheriff Hanlon, for a few DAYS un-
til her sister could be communicated
with. These arrangements were
still incomplete when Monday night
when she became violent. and it
took united efforts of the sheriff and
his wife all the night through to
control her at all.

epigrsms aud amusing stories. lie
impressed the p' lat that boys and
girls educated IN the public schools
1t public expense had a public duty
TO perform in altruistic work for the
benefit Of the home community.
The speaker highly compIimented
our high school, remars ing that it
Was getting a state reputation.
Besides some good orchestra
pieces by the high school musicians,
the chorus of thirty voices under
leadership of Prof Franks, won
hearty applause. They first sang
q chorus from the bohemian Girl
and as encore rendered the "Beauti-
fal Blue Danube" A closing Sc
lection was also encored.
There will he the play, "The Mer

figuring on some good route to the

pretty well convinced that over
Black mesa through Gunnison.

the best all round route. 1t is
practicable till late winter and

Rear Admiral Sperry, whose un'

thought has given him the reputation
of a just officer. far removed from
wardroom jokes, was watching with
interest a party Of children who were
being shown over the flagship Con-

a lieutenant who stood by his side he
remarked on the intelligence the chill.
dren evinced in the questions they
were asking.
Yes, sir" the lieutenant replied.
They will tell their fathers and
mothers about this for months to
come" the rear admiral went on, un'
bending a little in his interest in the
children.
mo, SIR" replied the lieutenant.
Il say they will tell their parents
about this when they get home re.
peated the admiral.
mo, sir, they won't do that" replied
the lieutenant.
What do you mean?" asked the ad'
miral, turning abruptly on the younc
officer.
