Sheep Train Wrecked a
Few Miles North La lara

Twenty-Five double deck stock
cars were loaded at the La lara
yards Tuesday evening and about
nine O'Clock the train pulled out
for Alamosa. Just north of the
Henry school house broken rail
was encountered and four cars
left the track. Two cars turned
over on their sides and before the
sheep could be released about Is
smothered. Considering the cir
cumstances the loss was trifiing.
After the sheep were released from
the wrecked cars they were
driven to Alamosa where they were
fed, watered and reloaded. We'd
nesday afternoon the train again
pulled out for Kansas City in good
shape.
Among the shippers were A.
Haggard q Son, T. A. Crowther
and A. G. Faucet. Aaron Hag-
gard, who owned about 1,4OO of
the shipment, was in charge.
Tom Smith intended to load at
La Jara but on account of false
report his flock was 9uarentined
early Tuesday morning at Capulin
nv Sheen INSPECTOR Armstrong.
After an investigation by Mr..
Armstrong, the flock was released
about five O'Clock and started for
La Jara. Arriving here Mr.. Smith
found the train would not wait for
him to load, so headed for Alamosa.
Owing to the accident his flock
arrived there in plenty of time to
load and he got out with the others
on the same train for Kansas City

The Ballinger- Pinchot congress
sional inquiry began it's public
sessions, Wednesday. Messrs. Pin
chot, CLAWS, Price and Shaw, hav-
ing preferred the charges against
Secretary Ballinger, are represent
ed by brilliant array of attorneys.
while Secretary Ballinger states
that he has no desire to be repre-
sented by counsel, his only desire
being that the investigation be
thrown wide open" and made as
complete and far reaching as pos
sible. 1t is now up to Messrs.
Pinchot ct al. to make good or
back up Mr.. Ballinger's attitude
certainly starts him off in the clear
in the minds of the American
people and it is entirely possible
and quite probable that Mr.. Pin
chot may sorely need his able
array of counsel to prevent the
scorching of his fingers.

We have often wondered why
the successful farmer always says
so little about how he does it. OF
course he is busy, as any success
full man must be, and we presume
that is the answer. On the other
hand, the fellow who is failure is
always ready to talk, because he
would rather talk than work. In
this issue of The Chronicle We
record the arrival of six families.
all of whom will settle in the neigh
borhood of La Jara. Their sue
cess or failure, for the first year,
will depend largely upon the
handling of both their land and
water. Now who is going to ad-
wise them? Are the successful
farmers of this vicinity going to
let some miserable failure, out at
the heels and knees, figuratively
speaking, advise these new farm
ers and lead them to sure failure
simply because they are too busy
to tell them how to succeed? Let
such men as WIN. Netf, j. G. Purs-
ley, A. l.. Moss, John Shawcroft,
Peter Peterson, VIM. Forbes, j A.
Marshall, and others in their class,
men who do not ordinarily offer
their advice until asked for it, get
busy and steer these newcomers
right. 1t not only means success
for the new settler, but it means a
boost for the San Luis valley and
an increased value on ali lands.
Don't allow the fellow who has
nothing to do but to talk do all the
advising.

Denver was visited by wind
storm, Tuesday night, the severity
of which exceeded anything of the

more than sixty miles an hour.
Considerable damage was done

was officially classified by the
government as gale. When the
velocity is recorded at from twenty
five to thirty-fve miles an hour
the wind is merely termed brisk
A velocity of from thirty five to
fifty miles denotes high wind
Fifty to sixty-five miles an hour

The boycott on meats, Just now
being carried on throughout the
country, must of necessity fail of
its purpose, as the people must
eat, and if they don't eat meat,
then the prices of the staples they
do eat will go soaring skywards.
The prevailing high prices of
grains and grasses make beef pro-
ducing most expensive, and grant
ing that the present retail prices
of meats are forced down by
reason of IL lack of demand, the
farmers and stockmen will cease
fattening stuff for market, cease
producing it, and then will result
a code of prices on meats the
equal of which can hardly be con-
templated. A greater supply is
the true solution Of the problem
and the sooner the people of the
country awaken to the fact. the
sooner relief will come. Every
thing the farmer raises is COM
handing unprecedented high
prices and it is not to be expected
that he is going to raise beef when
he can get more money for his
feed than it will net him when
converted into meat Get back to
the farms and produce more, and
conditions will then adjust them
selves.

By a vote of 2l31 to 21O1, the
citizens of Pueblo rejected the
proposition of holding a charter
convention and placing the city
under the rule of a commission
form of government. While the
returns would indicate that the
election was hotly contested, a
different view of the matter is
given when it is considered that
the total vote for and against the
charter convention amounted to
but one third of the vote of the
city, most of the people taking
little or no interest in the question

EvERS MOST VALUABLE.
Congress of Ball Players Awards Him
 the All Around LaureIS

One great all around ball player will make a ball team. as Cobb has Detroit Wagner Pittsburg, or Mathewson New York, but where can you find these men?
 I heard quite an argument between a lot of crack ball players at McGraw' 8 place in New York during the big meeting about who was the most valu- able ball player in the country to a team, and it finally sifted down to Wagner of Pittsburg, Evers of Chica- go and Cobb of Detroit, says. Tim Mur- nane.
 Hugh Jennings figured that Ty Cobb was the most valuable man in the country to a team
 He is a remarkable all round bats man who can beat out bunts and then clean up the bases with a long drive, and the greatest run getter of the age, always in condition and fighter from start to finish" said Hugh.
 McGraw thought that Hans Wag- ner was the most valuable all round batsman, a run getter, always in the game, and. placed in the infield, full of inspiration.
 Hugh Duffy and Joe Kelley picked Johnny Evers as the most valuable man for a ball team, on the ground that he was a. natural leader, as well as a remarkable all round ball player.
 Eivers' great knowledge of inside ball, his quickness in taking advantage of his opponents weakness, gave him the edge, is the way Duffy and Kelley fig ured it out.
 William Keeler. Captain Anson, Tom Mccarthy, Roger Bresnahan and Jack Dunn took a hand in the flaming bee. and while the general opinion seemed to give Wagner the best of it, the fine line of dope put up by Duffy and Kel- ley forced the gathering to admit that Evers was a candy kid. Evers sat back with a friend and enjoyed the comparisons
 It was the general impression of this f0l1 hat E was about the only prominent mem- ber of the great Chicago Cub team that had not reached the height of his work on the ball field.
 All the players of the once invinci- bIe team were slowing up, some grow ing tired and indifferent a result of remaining too long in one city,where the pbulic has grown careless unless the team is always in the lead.
 It's the leader this year that counts in baseball, and not the champions of one year ago. The fact is, there is too much expected of the average ball

TWO SCHEDULES FOR BASEBALL
Committee Figures 154 and 168 Games-New Rule
 Rescinded-Jimmy Ciabby to Box 10 Rounds Bouts Tuesday Night

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 25.-T'wo sched- ules, one for 154 and another for a 168 game playing season, will be sub mitted to the National baseball league in New York next month This was settled by the schedule committee to- night, although its 1abors have not yet been concluded. Another session will be held tomorrow.
 Hard Work Making Two Schedules.
 The baseball folk, all but the mem bers of the schedule committee of the two major leagues, left for their homes tonight The prOtracted sessions of the schedule committee is caused by the with the American leagues 154 game schedule so as to avoid conflicting dates. Then, too, another arrange ment of dates on the basis of a 154 game schedule for both is being pre- pared, so that whichever is adopted can be put into immediate effect.
 The decision to present the two schedules to the National league was reached business basis arguments for each side being recognized on their merits. The shorter schedule was pre- sented somewhat as a minority report to the league, while the longer sched- uIe was drawn by Chairman Ebbets as he was instructed by the club man agers of the league
 Rescind Wild PitcI1-Passed Ball Rule.
 Official scorers entered strong pro- tests against the wild pitch and passed ball ruling under the revised rules and the committee met today and rescind- ed it. It was pointed out that the bat terymen handled the ball many times more than other players on the team without getting any credit for perfect charge them with fielding errors for occasional slips.

player, and now that the National league has decided to play a schedule of 16S games, it will be more difficult than ever to keep the boys keyed up from start to finish.
 Jimmy Collins, the famous old Bos- ton player, was with the Minneapolis club last season in the American as- sociation. and he told me that the one unpleasant feature in that league was the large number of games played, 16S.
 Before the season was two- thirds over" said Collins, many of the play CTS were tired out, especially the pitch CTS. and I heard nothing but com plaints from the players, who felt they were being overworked."
 To do their best playing the boys must have an appetite for each game. If overwoked, they lose the dash and staying powers necessary to give the public a fair run for it's money, and in time the attendance is bound to fall off. Champagne without bubbles is tame stuff. Baseball games without ginger are worse.
 You can overwor< ball players, not the ones who save their salary wings, but the willing fellow who is out for every game, bent on landing the pennant.

 Gut Down YaIe's Rowing.
 Yale's rowing schedule will be cur tailed by the faculty this year, along with those of other branches of sports It is now almost certain that the only race in which the varsity will take part, aside from the Harvard regatta will be the regatta on the Schyulkill.
 The Yale navy never had so many challenges for races at the beginning of a season before. Georgetown, An napolis, Pennsylvania and Columbia all want races. In case Yale does not enter the Schuylkill regatta, a race may be arranged with Columbia on the Hudson, but this is very doubtful. The Yale faculty has strongly opposed the plan to send a crew to either Annapolis or to Washington.
 The main reason for Yale's disincli- nation to go to Phil$delphia this sea son is that the Easier vacation comes in March, and Yale is finding it prac- tically impossible to get together a crew for such an early date.
