MAY NOT COMPLETE
EXTRA SESSION WORK

Denver. Sept 5.-The democratic
senatorial caucus is shaping the rail
road-commission bill for second read
ing tomorrow. Senators McCue and
Tobin have been chosen as a sub
committee to whip it into shape. and
their report will be accepted by the
caucus. Senator Tully Scott's public
service measure may be consolidated
with the railroad bill.
1t appears that the extra session
may adjourn with its work half done,
and in that event the governor de-
clares that he will not call them to-
gether again. In an interview to-
day he said that, with the passage
OF the initiative and referendum. the
greatest step had been accomplished
and the bulk of the power of govern
ment would now be in the hands OF
the people.

PALISADES FRUIT SHIPMENTS
AMOUNT TO I'll CAR LOADS

Palisade Tribune: What do you
think of 71,oar loads Of fruit sent
out from this little district thus far
this season? DO you believe there
is a place on earth of like area that
could duplicate it? Did you ever
see III cars all in one string. and
have you any idea how far such a
line would reach?
The shipments of the past week
amounted to 80 cars. 81 of them be-
ing in carload lots. The week be-
fore there were 373 cars. and the
week before that 1SS cars.
The Elberta season is now closed.
but there are yet a number of car
loads of the later varieties of peaches
to handle With the late pears and
apples to go the shipments will not
fall far short of 1000 car loads for
the season.
The item of freight charges alone
for handling that part of the crop
shipped to Omaha for eastern distri-
button is worthy of special notice.
During the two heaviest weeks the
freigbts paid to roads east of Denver
amounted to $50, 500 and s65.000 re-
sDectively, or a total of S117,500.
This was in addition to the express
and intermediate freight charges.
Verify. Palisades bumper crop for
