growing demand for Pennington

side. He cannot get enough butter
fat TO supply the growing trade, He
says he is paying more for butter fat

and that still the people do not seem
to realize that they can make good
money bringing In cream. He says
that several OF his patrons are making
as high as $40 month and there is
no reason why others should not do

wards building up the section through
which II derives business: "The serv.
ice this county is now getting from
the Denver e. Rio Grande ia not what
we should have. When business was
slack and when no particular injury
was sustained from not having Sun.
day train service. we did not object.
ihere Is a lot OF fruit coming in for
shipment now. and not having a Sun.
day train works an injury to both
shipper and grower. As 1t now stands
the growers have to walt from Fri.
day to Monday with their deliveries
and perishable fruit such as is now
being marketed, this IL serious han.
dicap that makes loss unavoidable
The shipper here will not receive
goods here for Saturdays shipment
because the dealers In Durango will
not receive them Saturday night. So
from Friday noon until Monday noon
nothing goes out We believe that II
this matter was properly put before
the D. & r. G. people they would re-
store the Sunday train and we believe
1t should be gotten before them al
once"
