TELLS OF RUNAWAY ENGINE
ON THE MARSHALL PASS

Twenty years ago runaway trains
on the hill" as the railroad men
term Marshall pass. were of common
occurrence, and many good men gave
up their lives. This was before the
advent of the automatic air, and of
late years runaway trains are "A rar-
ity. Like all rules, there are excep-
tions, however, and within the past
two weeks two runaways have oc-
Cured not on the "hill'' proper. but
nevertheless a decided hill. The first
of these was recorded in the Record
as occurring near the light plant near
Maysville on the Monarch branch.
and this branch is coming into
notoriety for runaways, for last Sat
urday evening the accommodation
train with S. ]. Dawson at the throt-
tie of No. 229, and Wm. Osmos as
fireman, and with Conductor Ray
Hallock in charge of the train, and
Brakemen Mitchell and Mclaughlin
as assistants came tearing down the
heavy grade at startling speed. 1t
was very heavy train of ore and
lime rock with passenger coach in
the rear. When it became evident
that the engineer had lost control,
the coach was uncoupled and soon
brought TO stop, but the engine and
heavy train went on gaining speed
at every turn of the wheels Finally
Fireman Osmos jumped, and little
later Engineer Dawson followed
Both were considerably bruised by
bouncing among the boulders but no
bones We're broken. The train went
ON short distance then left the
track, piling up engine, cars and ore
in conglomerate heap down the
bank.
Thus another engine is out of com
mission and number of cars reduced
to kindling, entailing a loss of thou
sands of dollars to the company.
The cause of the runaway is not
known. but is supposed to be on ac-
count of the very heavy train.-Sa-

Today is April II, the last day of
the period for which the saloons of
Grand Junction have licenses to op-
crate. At midnight tonight nine Ii
quor houses (eight retail and one
wholesale house, will close their
doors for an indefinite period. The
Senate and the Annex, two saloons
operated by James Purcell; the Up
ton. operated by w. A. Lynch; the
Abbey. operated by T. d. Reams; the
Board of Trade, operated by Ed Nc
Kinney: the Ranch. operated by Gail
Murray; the St Regis. operated by
Joe Dulmaine; the Royalty Club. op-
Grated by David Seton; the Pacific.
operated by Payne e Kane. and the
wholesale liquor house operated by
NJ. Hertz will close tonight to remain
closed. The Paragon, operated by
Arthur Connolly for j. c. Richardson,
may open again next week and oper-
ate until May 6.
The state local option law provides
that saloons in territory voting dry
shall have 80 days after the election
in which to close up its affairs. The
Paragon is the only one of the Grand
junction saloons that is located in a
precinct that voted dry. and there
fore il may be able to operate under
the provisions of the local option
law for 80 days after the election,
even though the new council should
refuse to renew its license.
The Paragon is located at Fourth
and Main. All of the other liquor
houses of the city are located either

There was brief special session
of the old city council last night and
when they found out that such a
meeting was to be held there was a
general scurrying about among the
managers of the anti-saloon ticket
and they organized a delegation to
be present at the meeting. They
were mighty suspicious that some
thing awful might be done but
they were sorely disappointed again.
The council simply had business
session and the Hackshows and Sher-
locks had all of their 'sleuthing" in
vain. The council closed up some un-
finished business. A resolution pay
ing City Attorney J. w. Rozzelle $3.50
balance due for revising all the city
ordinances was adopted and one or
two other pieces of unfinished busi-
ness given attention.

clined to do so, these liquor houses
Will quit business after tonight They
Will probably petition the new coun-
ell Monday night to renew their Ii
censes for a short period in order to
give them time to dispose of their
business with as little loss as posi-
bic. 1t is not known Just what ac-
tion the new council will take on
these applications.
Today has been about the busiest
day the liquor houses of Grand juno
tion ever experienced, and the clos
ing hours of Grand Junction S saloons
will probably witness a still greater
rush However. there has been but
very little drunkenness noticeable on
the streets.
The various saloon men are prepar-
ing as rapidly as possible to close out
their affairs. to dispose of their
stocks. fixtures. etc. as quickly as
possible. They seem to be taking
their defeat at the polls and the fact
that they have been put out OF busi-
ness as good-naturedly as could be
expected of any men who have been
put out of business.
The last day of the saloons in this
city has been marked so far by no
disorder whatever. and there is little
probability that disorder will mark
the closing hours tonight.
With the saloons out of business
in Grand Junction there will not be

largest counties in any state in the

The passing of the saloons with
the stroke of midnight tonight has
been commented upon many times on
the streets of the city today

a corps of engineers are camped
at Wellsville. They arrived last Sat
urday and their mission is to survey
Tor double track from Salida to the
Royal gorge. 1t is known that the
survey is already made through the
gorge and east of that point to Pueb-

lald In the Glenwood canon west Of
Leadville. and it is evidently the in
tention to make the Rio Grande a

necessary on account of the immense

Viewed from a practical standpoint,
few other investments pay az do chill
dren. It is also true that four children
are little more actual trouble than are
two, and that the additional trouble is
compensated for in the pleasure they
bring by their companionship in their
childhood, and their protection as well
as companionship in the years to
come-when the parents begin to feel
that they need strong young arms
about them. If you would know what
q childless home means-imagine the
Christmas season without the little
ones. And look for just one sad mo-
ment at the home from which an only
child has been taken, and then ask II
one child is more a blessing than
many. That one gone, what ID left
but years in which the arms must be
empty and the hearts must ache?

ONE LOAF OF BREAD
BY a. r. WRIGHT, LID, :. a. .. A.

Until recently the vegetable product
which supported the largest amount
Of human life was rice. but now 1t IL
probable that more people depend
upon wheat for their main staple Of
nutriment than upon any other single
grain. The wheat crop Of the world
for 1902, the largest then recorded
was 8.124.422,00 bushels, Of which
760,O6s,00O were produced in the Unit
ed States. We may therefore presume
that the loaf Of bread which lies upon
the table Of the average reader is q
loaf Of wheat bread, and 80 we viii
consider it.
Wheat IL no new discovery. 1t Is
found in the early tombs Of Egypt and
among the remains of the lake dwell
lers in Switzerland, where the charred
kernels had lain buried for several
thousand years before the Christian
era. From the fact that the word
for wheat Is common to most OF the
Aryan languages, 1t Is rightly inferred
that It was cultivated IN central Asia
in prehistoric times, and was distrib-
uted throughout the eastern CONT
nent with the emigration which early
radiated from the home Of the Aryan
races in western Turkestan. But It
did not reach America until after the
discovery by Columbus.
The varieties Of wheat are very nu-
merom, thus adapting It to a wider
range Of conditions than any other
cereal. It ripens equally well in ST.
IBERIA and Alaska and India and South
America. Some varieties are sown
IN autumn and others IN the spring,
but II winter wheat Il sown in the
spring or spring wheat s0wn IN au-
tumn, while very few plants win come
to maturity, few viii do 50. There.
fore, by saving these few heads that
Fipan one can transform at his pleas
ure q winter wheat into a spring
wheat and vice versa. Great results
have likewise been produced by cross
ing varieties with each other IN
which case there e often a great I'M
provement IN both the quality and the
quantity Of the product.

The Marriage Vow
NO BABES OR LOTS OF THEM9
nY MRS. VIRGINIA. VAN pE WArER

A question arose as to what would
be the special luxury in which each
person present would indulge had she
unlimited means. The answers were
various, some saying travel, others en-
PERTAINING, others numerous pictures,
books and brio q brac. One woman
who had said little during the con.
troversy was at last addressed, and
replied by saying that she had not
spoken before, az she knew none Of
those present would agree with her.
For" she said, flushing shyly, my
desire would be for large family Of
children whom could have finely ed.
ucated and to whom could give all
the advantages l would want my boys
and girls to have"
Her remark was greeted with q
murmur Of surprise and dissent.
do you really mean that?' asked
one woman, incredulously.
Indeed do" was the calm reply.
ITO my way Of thinking there is no
greater happiness than for a woman
to be surrounded by a number Of chill
dren, with the means to do them jus
tice."
All, there's the rub. Surely It's q.
pity that the dollar mark must shine
through everything as It does, an
ugly birth scar on the face Of ma
ture.
In many cases, however, It IL not
the thought Of the present expense
Of children, or the thought Of what
they will cost during the first few
years Of their life, that causes people
to wish to- have small families. It
Is rather the dread lest. when the
young people are old enough to enter
college, there will not be the finances
necessary to the completion Of their
education. It would be well for those
who argue thus to remember that in
this country Of ours few people have,
during the first years Of marriage,
the money that is theirs 20 years
later.
