ROAD TO THE TOP OF
THE ROYAL GORGE LIT
Tie BETTER THAN TRAIL

C.H. Rau, who accompanied a party
of friends from the East on a picnic
outing to the top OF the Royal Gorge
the first OF the week, says the road up
there is a disgrace to the community
and that something ought to be done
to improve 1t with as little delay as
possible. Such a road, he asserts Is
little better than a trail, is reproach
to the enterprise and the public spirit
edness of the people Of Canon City and
Fremont county and to allow it to
continue longer in its present un-
satisfactory condition would be ex-
tremely unfortunate. Hundreds OF Wis
itors to Colorado have driven from
Canon City to the top of the Royal
Gorge during the last five or six
months, and it is probable that nine
ty-five per cent of them retain an ugly
memory OF the road they we're COM
PEELED to travel to reach it. The scene
from the top of the Royal Gorge is
one of the most magnificent in the
United States and to fail to provide a
decent means OF reaching II should be
humiliating to the public pride. A
FIRST class roadway to the top OF the
Roayl Gorge must be built sooner or
later and It is none too early to begin
its construction now.

ASKED. To

PRESIDENT DECLINES-HAS NO

OMAHA, Sept. 20.-At President
Tafts request, no attempt will be
made to run street cars in Omaha,
now tied up by strike during his
visit. The president says in his re-
quest that he prefers this course in
order that there may be no en-
barrasment to either side of the con-
troversy by reason of his presence.
125 non-union conductors and
motormen arrived here today from
Chicago. The strike leaders an
nounced that an effort would be made
to interview President Taft in the
hope of enlisting his service in set
tling the strike. The Presidents re-
ply to a communication to this effect
was that he would be glad to meet
the men, but he could not proper
ly assume any part in the strike
differences, although he would be
heartily glad to see settlement. Not
having acquaintance with the strike
causes, however, he could not fairly
make further expression.

ENJOYED DANCE.
Invitation Affair at Lane City Was a
Most Memorable One For
Many

At Lane City hall last Saturday
night there was one of the most en-
jOyable events of the season, dance
at which about fifty couples were
present by invitation and enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent. The
hosts of the evening were Ir. and
Mrs. Frank Cox and they gave all
of the guests occasion for many
words of thanks for an enjoyable
evening when they took their de-
parture for home.
Attendants at the dance numbered
about fifteen East Ely young people,
number from ely and many Lane
City people. AT midnight they re-
paired to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cox, where they enjoyed most ex-
cellent supper, following which de-
parture was taken for home, the East
Ely and Ely attendants returning in
the conveyances in which they drove
to Lane City. Much enjoyment was
had on the way back and the affair
rounded out in all ways in most
pleasurable manner.

COOK OFF:

Talks Of Peary in
fOne Of Restraint

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The
steamer Oscar Second, with DR.. F..
A. Cook. reported this morning 65
miles east of Fire Island. The ves-
sci will lie off Sandy Hook all night
in order that the plans for the re-
lception of DR.. Cook may be carried
out as originally planned for tomor-
row. 5
DR.. Cook evinces strong desire to
arrive in New York. He is anxious
to prove the veracity of his claims,
although the charges brought against
him by Conimander Peary and others
do not cause him the slightest con-
cern. He has complete answer, he
says for everything
In reply to a question as to what
answer he would make to these
charges, DR.. Cook said this after
nocn:
=! will not enter in,o any contrD-
versy until l know definitely what
has been brought against me and
whence it emanates. Commander
Peary's general and articulate
charges do not call for any response
from me until he gives to the public
as much as l have. He has given few
details of his journey, claiming that
ne reached the pole ON certain
date, without much else.
'His accusations are founded
purely on statements given him by
az ignorant man, whom l purposely
kept from learning the facts. When
/ land, will examine the charges and
reply when the proper time comes.
Peary's declaration that he is the
only man who has been at the pole
and will prove it, still awaits proof.
AS to the affirmations that Peary
has evidence to refute my story, that
evidence is based on tho word of
Murphy, the boatswain, who is un-
able to read or write.
81 have already expressed my readi-
mes to place my observations before
commission from scientific bodies
and the verdict of that committee
will justify my story"
When the report was received in
the afternon that Commander Peary
was still at Battle Harbor, DR.. Cook
said
81 regret greatly that Commander
Peary is not returning at the same
time as | am. | should have liked
to meet him face to face on reaching
New York.
Referring to the final examination
of his records, and instruments, DR..
Cook said: Within two months my
records and instruments will all be
ready for official tests. l shall then
send them to Copenhagen university,
which has the first claim as it was
the first officially to recognize my
work in the discovery of the pole
After that they will be at the dis
posal of any expert committee which
the scientific and geographical So
cieties care to form"
DR.. Cook says that he does not
intend to resume practice as ply
sician.

Commander Peary in an interview

Congress as to Re-

forms That are Needed

DES MONIES, Sept. 20.-In his
address here, President Taft devoted
much time today to the Interstate
Commerce commission and the legis-
lation necessary to make it's conduct
effective.
He said that he would recommend
to congress the creation of an inter
state commerce court of five MEM
bers which shall sit in Washington
and which shall be the only court to
which petitions setting aside or null
lifying the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission can be re-
ferred.
He further proposed to recommend
that it be allowed no single judge to
make an order staying proceedings of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
more than sixty days and thereafter
no injunction shall be allowed against
an. order of the commission granted
by the whole five members of the
court.
From this court, an appeal will lie
to the Supreme court of the United
States direct. He also would favor
the extending of the, power of the
commission to include not only the
fixing of rates but also the readjust-
ment of classifications of freight. if
on complaint a classification should
be shown to be unjust.
He would further recommend the
giving to the commission of power
to suspend, madify and annul any
changes in the rules or regulations
which impose burden ON shippers,
also provide prohibition against any
interstate railroad company acquir-
ing stock in competing road.
The President also took up the anti
trust law, saying that he believed
that the way to make the anti
trust law effective was to narrow it's
scope somewhat so that it shall not
include in it's prohibition and de-
nunciation as a crime anything but
conspiracy CT combination CT con-
tract entered into with the actual
intent to monopolize or suppress
competition in interstate trade.
The president spent four hours in
Des Moines today. During that time
he breakfasted with Senator Cum
Minis, one of the insurgent leaders
in congress, reviewed an imposing
parade of 5000 iFederal troops and
made an open air address, to an i'm
mense crowd, discussing in detail the
changes he will recommend in the
Interstate Commerce and Antitrust
laws.
