HIGH TIDE FOR RAILROADS

American railroads in the year end
ing June 30, 1907, received 900 million
dollars in net earnings.
They never earned so much before,
Until this summer they have not had
net earnings to equal those of 1907.
This stupendous sum, nearly as great
as the indemnity levied on France by
Germany. will be more than repeated
in the fiscal year hbw beginning, of
which two months are nearly gone.
June ran in net earnings this wear
full 10 per cent over the same month
in 1907, which closed the railroad fiscal
year, which had 900 million dollars of
net earnings. July did better. Au.
gust is beating July.
The crops are big. Rates are main
tanned. Expenses are reduced. The
railroads are doing better under the
Hepburn act and all the Roosevelt leg.
I'lation than ever before.
There is every prospect that railroad
net earnings in the year now opening
and ending next June will round ont
full billion dollars. In 1907 there
We're 252 million dollars to spend on
improvements. The coming fiscal year
there will he 300 million dollars, almost
million dollars every working day.
No wonder every big railroad is ar.
derlng ears. locomotives and rails. or
that steel plants are taking orders for
1910. No such expenditure on main.

WILL HE DO IT

Governor Shafroth announces that he
is determined to see that the county
assessors of this state raise their valu-
atoms from the figures some of them
equalization. That test may be made
of his powers, he has cited, Assessor
Sanchez of Huerfano county to appear
on the green carpet of the governor g
private chamber and explain why some
ten thousand acres of coal land were
not assessed this year. The Huerfano
assessor is a republican and some a-a
of the opinion that the governor has
picked him out for political reasonG.
Whether this be true remains to be
seen If Governor Shafroth makes his
case stick against Sanchez, it is up TO
Governor to stick a pin in several of
the democratic assessors of the state
and the question now is, will he do it,
OF course, Huerfano county has been
bothering the democrats for years and
they never lose an opportunity to find
fault with some of the republican lead
ers in that cousty OF course, if As
SCISSOR Sanchez is guilty of wrong doing,
it is justice to the people of HuerfanO
county that they be given the know
ledge, but the same justice is due the
people where democratic assessors are
making the schedules. Fair play is all
that the people of Colorado want and
if Governor Shafroth probes into everv
county and Furnishes guilty democrats
and republicans. alike, there will be
little fault found with him, unless by
his acts he works hardship on the
owners of agricultural lands. 1t is q
pity that Governor Shafroth did net
have power to stop the workings of
the last legislature in its spendthrif-
methods. Had he done so, the whole
state would have been better off and
there would not now be howl to raise
the valuations over the state. The land
owner will be hit Just as hard as the
coal or railroad companies if the COVER
nor has his way. But will Governor
Shafroth make good his boast and delve
into the mysteries surrounding the as
sessments made by some of the demo
cratic assessors. The people will watch
and if he doesn't it win be clear proof
that he is merely playing n dirty poll
teal game and using Assessor Sanchez
of Huerfano county as a target. 1t is
claimed that the democratic assessors
of the state have announced their IN
tention of standing by Sanchez in his
trouble and if they do, the governor
will probably call off his slueths ana
not try to work further hardship on
the Colorado farmer.

SHIPPING FRUIT

If you have not stood at the Denver
( Rio Grande and Colorado Midland de
pots in this city and watched the train
loads of Grand valley fruits that are
being taken east every day, you have
little idea of the amount that is passing
through this city. 1t is true. the valley
papers are telling their readers all
about the shipments, but to see the ears
loaded with peaches and other fruits
is the most convincing proof of all.
The following is list of ear load ship
ments one day this week from Grand
valley towns:
Palisade 2OH cars.
Bridges, 4 cars.
Clifton. cars.
Grand Junction. IL cars.
Fruita, . ears.
Palisade is sending her famous El-
berta peaches, Clifton cantaloupes and
Grand Junction, pears and peaches. At
least 200 ears of fruit will have been
shipped this week from the above
points when the last train for the east
pulls out today.

1T WILL BE very unfortunate in
deed for Glenwood if some arrangement
cannG. be made whereby the Glenwood
sanitarium may be kept open and at
the disposal of the physicians of Glen
wood and the surrounding country.
Few of our people fully realize the fl.
nancial advantages that have come to
Glenwood as a result of DR.. Berry's
original and subsequent efforts to give
the town a sanitarum Almost every
~ne in the town has been benefited
more or less by these efforts. except
Dr. Berry himself, who is worse off by
reason of the venture. As TO anv lack
OF harmony among the physicians or
any other reasons which may have
stood in the way of the success of the
institution. the Post has nothing to do.
We can only hope. for the good of the
town, both in a humane ana financial
way, that some plan may yet be evolv-
ed which will allow the opening of this
institution and its patronage to an
extent that will guarantee It's perma-
nency.

NOW THAT the north pole has been
found let MS hope that the industry
of discoveries may not wane and that
IN the due course of time we may be
greeted with public announcement
of the finding of Charley Ross. 1t
strikes us that Charley and the pole
turned up missing at about the same
time. The boy dropped out of the
glarlng limelight some years ago bnt
the pole, with persistence tha. is
eommendable, went right on working
the newspapers for free advertising
space and has at last been rewarded
by being "discovered. Hurrah for
the north pole, and hurrah for DR.. Cook
who stumbled over it. 1t surely does
pay to advertise.

UNITE COMMERCIAL CLUBS

His reasons for the union of the var

led to the final result of making the

He is positive that by working to
gether the commercial clubs can and
will accomplish more than by working
each fellow for himself.

FARMERS ARE HAPPY

A careful estimate on the crops of
the country gives sufficient reason for
the contented look on the faces of the
farmers of this country. 1t is announc-
ed that at least 703, 900. 900 bushels of
wheat will be harvested and as q re-
suit cash wheat in Chicago has gone
to the dollar mark and the fall wheat
is towering around the nineties. In
addition to the bumper wheat crop, we
find the corn crop figures to reach 2.
954, 100000, which is 27.O0OOOO bush
els less than in 1906, when new re
cord was established.
Oates will add another billion bushels
to the pile and this is a'ncw record for
oates. Barley, potatoes, rye, hay and
buckwheat are said TO be at about the
average mark.
Getting closer home, we find record

Whether it seems rainy day for US,
whether subscriptions are falling of,
whether all have quit patronizing oul
space, it behooves US to give thanks,
through an editorial, for the many
good things. In the olden days, our
forefathers used to thank our Maker
for their lives being saved from the
tomahawk, but in these modern times,
we thank him for our prosperity and
happy times.
We, in the past year, have had our
cup filed to the brim with good cheer,
and the many things with 60 toward
making one glad to be on this
earth, so in offering up our thanks to
the Lord, we feel as if we ought to
shank our supporters for the way they
have put their shoulder to the wheel
and helped US along, both in business
and social ways. We could not person
ally thank our friends, so take this
means of reaching all OF you. Consider
yourself one of the many who help
to make life worth living.
