TO FORCE ADOPTION
OF SENATE MEASURE
is PLAN OF ALLIES

Insurgent leaders IN the House are
busily AZ work today trying TO round up
enough Republican votes 10 adopt the
Senate railroad bill with the aid Of
Democratic strength
The Democratic leaders have assured
the insurgents that while there is dif-
ference Of opinion on the Democratic
side. they believe that practically the
solid party vote can be delivered for
the Senate measure If there Is real
prospect that II viii have enough Re
publican support 10 pass.
Insurgent leaders said this afternoon
rney were meeting with much encour-
acement in their efforts 10 line up the
Republican votes for the Senate meas
ure II the solid Democratic strength
can be had for that bill about twenty
I'VE Republican votes viii be sufficient
10 carry II through the House.
The argument that Is being used in
favor Of the Senate measure is that
IL Is a good bill, and, while some Of the
House features ought TO be adopted,
that the adoption Of the Senate bill out
right will probably result in better legIs-
latiOn than If the outcome is intrUsted
20 conference. House insurgents are
making much OF the fact that the intlu-
ence Of Senator Aldrich is likely 10 be
great in the conference, and that ne
will proba bly, eadeavor to extract some
Of those features which are most OBJ
jectionable 10 the railroads.
One Of the difficulties In the way
OF reaching an agreement TO put the
Senate bill through the House and 10
drop the House bill, is that the House
bill contains provision for physical
valuation Of the railroads good
many Of the insurgents are unwilling
70 drop this feature, and would like
70 see both bills sent TO conference
IN the hope Of getting physical valua-
ton put into the law.
The House will decide tomorrow
whether 10 adopt the Senate bill or 70
have a conference Tuesday. A hot
fight IS expected when the question
comes up.

position that the Department CT Justice

The Administration position IS under
stood TO be that the course in attacking
the Western Trunk Line committee
agreement is not Inconsistent with the
course Of the President in urging that
traffic agreements be legalized. The
view Of the President apd Mr.. Wicker

CLIFTON MELONS
ARE THE BEST
Grand Valley 'Cants" Bring
Growers Net Average
Of $1.81
BEAT ROCKY FORDS

The final records as compiled by the
fruit associations on the cantaloupe
crops of the past year indicate that
Clifton melons brought higher price
in the eastern market than those grown
anywhere else in the United States.
Neither the Rocky Ford nor the Cali
fornia melons brought as high prices
as wcre obtained for the Clifton mel
ons.
According to the report just complct-
from the Clifton district Those ship
ped to Philadelphia brought the high
est prices of any, netting to the grow
er $l.Sl per crate. This is the amount
paid to the rancher, and from the price
paid by the Philadelphia firms mu It
first be deducted the commissions. the
freight and the refrigerator charges,
so that the melons must have brought
at the lowest calculation nearly S3 per
crate in the Quaker City. What tn
"ultimatc consumer was forced to
pay for them cannot be learned
The average price received for the
Clifton melons in New York was suf-
fcient to net the grower $l.66 per
crate. The average netted the grow
cr from the Chicago market was $l.25
and in the Denver market $l.2l. These
prices are for the standard crates
which contain forty-five melons. The
low price received from the Denver
market is explained by the fact that
only the melons which could not stand
the trip to the east were sold in Den
yer.
Last year the Clifton growers be
cause of the glut in the market, recciv
crate, but the reputation thus obtain
ed gave them sufficient advertising to
make their product in demand when
other melons were a urug on the mar
ket. AS n result of the good prices
obtained this year it is probable that
thousands of acres will be planted next
spring. particularly upon Orchard Mesa.
,Some of the growers made as high
as $500 per acre off their cantaloupe
crop-grown between the trees AMI
without in any way interfering with
the growth of their orchards. 1t is
estimated that the cost of production
is only about 90 cents per crate, so that
it can be readily seen how profitable
cantaloupe growing has become in tn"
Grand Valley.
