by the people towards the men
higher up Everything runs
smoothly; everybody who rides on
the trains is satisfied and safe and
each stakeholder is gleeful over
the ket-flling returns on stocF
investment.
"This is splendid condition of
affairs and it is only attained by
cooperation of this sort where
each individuals interests are
bound up with that of his neigh
Dor; where each realizes that the
official of the railroad is working
for the interest of the other stock
holder as we'll as for himself.
1--WE can't hope to attain such
perfection here right away, of
course, but the better disposed the
landowners are towards the rail
road builders and the closer they
ally themselves with the men who
are furnishing capital in this en-
terprise, the sooner we will have
a condition that will be to San
Luis Valley what the Pennsylvan-
ia is to the east"
Mr.. Young said that he believed
the people of the Valley under
stood the basis on which the rail.
road proposes to operate; that they
appreciated the fairness of it and
understood the necessity for coop

be derived by such system.

COOPERATIVE RAILROAD
(By Bombard.)

Regarding the cooperation asked
of the landowners in the construc-
ton of the new railroad, Mr..
Young, the consulting engineer
who has compiled the statistics
upon which estimates of cost were
based, remarked, before leaving
Monte Vista for Denver, Monday
night:
"While l have confidence in the
fairness of the d. e. r. G. rail.
roads doing the right thing by US
in providing an outlet for our
shipments, still, the fact remains
that we are at the mercy of the line
and, for that reason, the more
cooperation we have in the terri
tory to be tapped by the Monte
Vista and Saguache railroad, the
safer all will be from any friction
and the surer all will be for ulti-
IN ate succe So.
"The system of cooperation and
a wide distribution of company
stock has been proven the best
from every point of view. Take
the Pennsylvania Route in the
east. 1t has the finest equipped
line in the world; the block sys-
tens and electric automatic sys-
tenn of bringing train to a stand.
still if there is another train on
the same track, preclude the pos
sibility Of wreck.
Probably 10 other railroad in
this country pays such heavy divi-
dends as does>the Pennsylvania, OF
makes SO many Improvements in a
year, to say nothing Of the combi-
nation, and it is all explained on
the ground of cooperation. The
stock is so widely distributed and
20 many people have the interests
Of the road at heart that they real
ize the necessity for unity and as
none Of the individuals has more
70 say concerning the affairs Of
the road than anyone else, there is
no possibility for friction. There

PET COYOTES.

A pair of coyotes raised by
James Keefer caused no end of
trouble Wednesday. When Jim
left town he gave the animals to
Charlie Clifton to dispose of and
one of them got loose the next
day. The animal was quite tame
but as playful as a kitten with
no proper regard for any damage
it might do by swapping with its
needle like teeth. Quite a crowd
Joined in the chase to recapture
the coyote and when it was at
last cornered it turned ON Amos
King and snapped at his face.
One tooth went entirely through
his lower lip and another entered
his chin. Needless to say Amos
released his embrace Of the coyote
as though it were a hot potato.
Charlie Clifton then put on n pair
Of thick gloves and tried TO caress
Mr.. coyote but once more the
teeth snapped and penetrated
Charles hand through glove and
all. Mr.. coyote there and then
signed his death warrant and with
u Ratchet which happened TO be
near Charlie proceeded with the
execution forthwith. There are
no mourners.- Jara Chronicle.

ROOSEVELT'S TOUR

Editor Herald: I agree with some or
the anti Roosevelt sentiment which has
been expressed from time to time IN
letters to The Herald. Roosevelt is the
shrewdest politician in the country
today. He is a demagogue, pure and
simple. and his personal ambitions far
surpass his desire for the betterment
of conditions with respect to the cor
porations and the people What is the
meaning of his recent tour of the west'
during which he presented his new
(supposedly) progressive ideas, which
are nothing more than the ideas which
BRYAN and the Populist party advocat-
ed ten years ago and for which Bryan
was denounced as an anarchist all over
the country? RooseVelts tour was
simply for the purpose of feeling the
pulse of popular opinion in the west IN
regard to himself as Republican cam
didate for the presidency in 1912. why
should he do what no other president
or ex-president in the history of our
nation has done? Run as candidate
for a third term. We are getting tired
of this "slushy" Teddy stuff. Let us
give men such as LaFollette, Cum
minis. Beveridge or Hughes chance
men who are true "progressives" men
who do not play to the galleries"
but who are ready to sacrifice their
own personal ambitions to the cause
of insurgency and true government.

National expenditures for the ensu-
ing wear made and authorized by con-
gress amounted to $1,09s, s,S47. .1S4-eonsid-
erably more than a thousand millions!
LET us see what that fact means, says
the New York World.
In the first place. it means that we
are spending every year nearly per
cent of our entire national wealth.
S120 900, 900 900; or nearly one-halt OF
the national wealth of Switzerland..$2
400. 600. 900: or of Portugal-S2,5O ,5Oo,OOO'O 'OoO; !;
or more than one-fifth of the natlonai
wealth of the thrifty Netherlands-$0'
000. 100000.
Secondly, it means that we are spend
ino every year more than the entire
assessed valuation, real and personal,
of most of the states in the Unlon' IN
only four of which is there property III
excess of a thousand millions.
Thirdly, 1t means that we are speno-
ing in one year almost as much money
as all the farms, city lots and pulldinss
in so great and rich q state as !nulana
are worth for taxation-$1, ,11O, SSl ,65O.
Eourthly, 1t means that we are spend
inc in one wear one-third of the entire
output of all our gold mines IN AzO years
SO, ,O6S, $4,000! o,.,,
Fifthly, it means that we spend every
wear more than the entire capital OF an
fhe national banks in the United states

POSTAL SALARIES

Editor Herald: Now and then we
hear of postal clerks and carriers try
ing to effect some plan whereby they
may receive better compensation for
their services. Why is it we never
hear of the postmasters making any
kick? The answer seems very plain
to me- Some time last year l read
list of increases in salary for a great
number of postmasters in this section
of California, and I never heard of
any of them asking for an increase.
Some of them, who hold offices in
towns of only 1000 or 5000 population,
now get 5000 per month. while the
postmen who trudge around in the
hot sun get less than half that.
And we find postmen. clerks and
others of the service who, in some in
stances, are not receiving more than
one-sixth what the postmaster is are
Just as competent to fill ] ) position
as he is.
Can we. say that there is anything
fair in dealing out pay to public ser
wants according to the rule practiced
by the postoffice department; is it fair
to give one man six times as much
as another when the one getting the
least pay does more and harder work?
The new plan as now being prac-
ticed by the head of the postoffice de-
partment, in raising salaries of post
masters and cutting down expenses
by grinding the subordinates down in
various ways, does not suit me by
any means, and l am not one of them,
either.

Waste at Washington

one year one-third of the value OF our
foreign commerce-$3,0 ,055, 115, ,13S.
Seventhly, 1t means that we speno
each year our entire corn crop-2,6 $685.
651, 900 bushels-and that our wneat
crop for a single year-665, 6O2,oOO push-
els-would be supfttcient 10 run tne
government only six months.
Eighthly, it means that, excluolng
Sundays and holidays, there is spent at
washington every day In the year the
enormous sum Of $3,567, 6S5.66!
Ninthly, it means that for every man,
woman and child in the country we
spend each year $40.
Tenthly, it means that for every ram
ily in the United states the yearly ex-
penditure at washington is $55.
If the waste at washington is $780,
100000 a year, as Senator Aldrich has
intimated, every American family sur
fers by this profligacy to the extent Oh
1886 every twelve months
This Is enough to buy a suit or
clothes. I will buy an overcoat or q
cloak. 1t will buy good dress. IL
will furnish a room. 1t will buy nearly
three tons of anthracite coal. II will
huv four or five pairs of shoes. 1t will
buy two or three barrels or hour OF
over 300 loaves of shortweight preao.

only to 1ingoism and war, would en-
dow a great university, establish and
