for a thorough investigation OF the
freight rate situation In Colorado.
After this is done and some recon-
mendation is prepared for Congress
or the Interstate commerce commits
sion. 1t is proposed to hold a national
conference In Denver OF representa-
tives from every state with a view
to having the freight rates adjusted
throughout the country for all time.
Some permanent basis can be evolv-
ed upon which rates may be adjusted
everywhere at all times according to
conditions, and not work an injus-
tice or hardship on any community.
When the Walker committee has
finished its work the conference
will be called. RAILROADS will be in
vited to have representatives pres
ent.
Those invited to serve on the ad-
visory board proposed by Mr.. Walker
have not had time to reply. but 1t
is believed a majority OF them will
accept and negotiations are under
way for their entertainment while
in Denver. 1t is likely that the party
will come to Denver in a special car
from New York and be entertained
in Denver by business men.
The investigation by the Denver
committee and the advisory board
will begin about the time of the ded-
ication of the Temple Of Commerce
and the chamber has issued invi-
tations to the visitors and the COM
mittee of Denver men to be Its
guests on that occasion.

GOLD BRICKS BY MAIL

Many beside the unsuspecting vic
tins will be shocked to learn that
during the past five years the bun
co-steerer' has made Uncle Sam his
innocent accomplice in swindles in
volving at least S1OO,OO0,0OO of the
gullible investors money. Yet these
figures are given by no less an au-
thority than Postmaster General
Hitchcock, says the Literary Digest.
After the postoffice authorities In
New York had raided the Burr Of
fices last week Mr.. Hitchcock stated
that with the work accomplished
today seventy-eight such cases have
been brought to a head during the
year." and he estimated that 1.-The
swindling operations of these sew
enty-eight cases have filched from
the American people in period of
five years more than 500. 100000"
The firm of Burr Brothers, accord
ing to the governments memoran-
dunn, has been selling stock in more
than two dozen companies The
same official document goes on to
say:
1T can safely be said that they
have sold stock at par value of from
$40,0O0,00O to s50,00O,00O in the
various companies; have an extern
sive suite of offices in the Flatiron
building in this city, and at times
have had offices in Cleveland, Chi
cago. Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
Sheldon C. Burr, Eugene H. Burr
and F. Harry Tobey are the only
members of the firm in New York
at the present time.
"In every instance they have
promised large dividends on the
stock sold. in addition to an increase
in the value of the stock. but not in
a single case have any of the COM
panies paid any dividends. and. az
stated above. practically all of them
have become complete failures.
THE department has received sev-
eral hundred complaints from people
who have bought this stock and lost
their money"
Examination OF the firms mail for
the first three hours after the arrest
Of its officers gave startling evidence
of the alacrity with which the public
parts with its money in exchange for
glittering promises. In this one
batch of mail alone, we are told the
postoffice inspectors found more
than $4,000. The story. as told ir
the news columns of the New Yorl
Commercial, continues:
And SO slow is the 'come-on' tt
give up hope of so per cent divi
dends that yesterday while the in
spectors were still busy gathering
up the papers and books before lock
ing the office door many telegram
were received asking that shares II

PAST YEAR POOR FOR WOOL
GROWERS AND DEALERS

The passing year has been unfav-
orable for wool growers and wool
manufacturers alike throughout the
country. due to agitation over the
tariff. natural conditions that affect
ed sheep raising and high prices that
restricted the market, according to
the twenty-second annual wool re-
view issued lately by the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers.
The review says In part:
1.-The year opened with probably
100000 pounds. or 40 per cent
more wool. including that in bond.
carried over than was the case in
beginning OF 1909. The wool market
was quiet in January. with prices
fairly firm. The market sagged In
February, and the first quarter OF
the year closed with grave dlsap-
pointment. The heavyweight season
was a failure and prices remained
In favor of the buyer.
Through the spring months the
depression continued. There were
somewhat larger sales in April, be-
cause many holders wearied of
carrying their wool. American pur-
chases in Sydney and Victoria show
ed great falling of. while during
September the central feature of the
market was the sale of moderate
quantities OF the 1910 domestic clip
for shipment to England. The ex-
ports were the direct result OF per-
sistent political agitation for re-
opening and reduction OF the tariff,
Of schedule X.
THE year 1910 was one of dis
tinct prosperity In European manu-
woolen trade all over the world. ex-
cept in the United States or in those
directly affected by the
American situation.
THE low prices in the domestic
wool market and the idle machinery
in American mills simply reflected
the demand of hostile interests that
the new Aldrich-Payne tariff should
be overthrown almost as soon as 1t
had been enacted. before there had
been any fair chance for an actual,
honest test of the law in opera
lion.
"A terrific winter for sheep grow
irouth. and altogether with natural
and political conditions warning
against them the wool growers have
good cause to remember 1910 as a
year OF sinister experience.
THE present high price OF swine.
he abundance of corn for feed and
he rapidity with which pigs can be
and prepared for slaughter
have caused many flock masters to
neglect their sheep for the more
profitable business OF swine raising.
"The high prices for foodstuffs
and other prime necessities OF life
have unquestionably had their effect
upon the wool market. but this de-
pressing effect, from the very nature
of things, as clothing must sooner
Or later be bought. cannot inden-
nitely continue.
The local wool production OF the
United States for 1910, including
pulled wool. is 321.362.75O pounds,
Or 6,747.999 pounds less than the es-
timated product of last year. and
this total product is equivalent to
141 ,805,813 pounds OF secured wool.
THE total value OF the wool pro-
duct of theUnited States for the
year. estimated on the secured price
In Boston. the chief wool market |
Of the world. October 1. was $72,-
4S9.S38. Lastyear the estimated |
value was $88,829,746."

ROCKY FORD COLORADO FRIDAY NOVEMBER l8. 1910
LATE ELECTION NEWS

Republicans throughout Colorado
have reason to feel better satisfied
with the election just passed than
they did last week, for according to
the returns the republicans have gain
ed six on joint ballot in the house and
senate. The legislature will now be
composed OF thirty republicans and
seventy democrats, whereas it was
formerly composed of twenty-four re-
publicans and seventy-six democrats.
rhe republicans will have five sena-
tors and twenty-five representatives.
The republicans throughout the
state have elected their county tick
cts in twenty-four counties, whereas
they only had eleven before. They
have broken even in eight other coun-
ties, which gives control OF almost
half the county organizations of the
state.
Even at this writing nine days af-
ter the election, some of the candi-
dates upon the state ticket are still
upon the anxious seat, and the. Official
canvass. which is necessary to decide,
will not be completed in some coun-
tics-notably DenyerTuntil Saturday
until which time the chairmen Of both
parties are claiming the supreme
Judge, attorney general and railroad

commissioner. The election of Mrs.
Wilson as superintendent OF public
instruction and Miss Wolcott as state
regent of the university have been
conceded by the democratic chairman.
All the amendments are reported to
have carried. the initiative and refer
endum by an especially large major
ity. and the people will be given the
opportunity to put this measure to the
test, with it is believed great good
to the masses as a result.
The liquor question was the para
mount issue of the election in Swink.
The interest shown is evidenced by
the large number of votes cast-26o.

BIG PAY DAY
Nearly 100000 Distributed to Beet
Growers on Tuesday

Tuesday over SI65.ooo was distrib-
tied to growers who have shipped OF
delivered beets to the American Beet
Sugar Co. during the month of -Oc-
tober. That amount put into circula-
ton will be felt by every person in
the communities in which it is dis
tributed. 1t is a noticeable thing tina,
the amount paid out during October
is considerable over the minimum
amount OF IS ton for beets. accord
ing to the tonnage delivered. showing
that the scale contract has brought
results to many growers.
Beet deliveries at the local A. B. S
Co. factory continue to show up many
cases Of growers exceeding the SUI
gar content minimum of the 1910 con-
tract. Charles Recker of the Wictzer
dump district delivered eleven loads
of bects last month that run better
than I6 per cent and in some cases
over II per cent, a return OF $3.50
to S5.7S a ton for his bccts delivered.
A. I. Lewis of the same district de-
livercd many loads. none of them run
nino under I6 per cent and from that
up to I8 and fraction per cent of su-
gar, brining him from $3.50 to S6 a
ton, and l. r. Bevard of the Elder
district has run from IS per cent to
over IS per cent in his beets. with a
good average.
Some nice tonnagcs are also report
ed by many growers. estimates being
all that are procurable at the present
time, say the company agriculturists.
