PROGRESS OF THE
AFRICAN RAILWAYS

BY next July there will be con-
tinuous railway communication be-
tween Cape Town and the town of
Kambove, in the Congo, 270 miles
north of the Rhodesian boundary; a
total distance of over 2,400 miles.
The railway is already in operation
as far as Elizabethville, 165 miles
north of the Congo border. From
kambove an extension has been sur
veycd at Bukama, 200 miles farther
north, on a navigable tributary Of the
Congo. In a few months a railway
will be begun from Kambove west
ward 100 miles to Ruwe. This is de-
tined ultimately to connect up with
the line that is being pushed eastward
from Benguela, on the Atlantic coast,
and which now extends 230 miles into
the interior.

AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.

While today they have somewhat
recovered from ..ic shock, both ladies
are still very i'll. Miss Bannister is
entirely helpless, and suffers consi1-

but Mrs. Perkins injuries appear to
be even more serious. The right hip
is badly injured and it is thought one

DIR. wILEY's ENEMIES ROUTED.
Western Press.

Western Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. A.
The secretary of agriculture has dis
solved, by order of the president, the
famous board Of food and drug in
spection by granting DR.. f. l.. Dun
lap, DR.. Wiley's assistant, "vaca-
ton" and relieving" George P. Me-
Cabe, solicitor of the department, as
a member of the board. r. E. Doo-
little, chief of the bureau of chemistry
at the laboratory in New York city,
will sit with DR.. Wiley on the board
and fill DR.. Dunlap's place indefinitely.
This action of the secretary of agri-
culture notes as a disastrous rout of
the enemies of DR.. Wiley, sacrificed
to big interests who are allied to his
unswerving enmity of all food and
drug authorizations.
Mr.. Wilson said today: "The trou-
Bile in the bureau of chemistry has
been adjusted amicably and perma-
nently."

WYOMING ENTERTAIN.S
PRESIDENT TAFT TO-DAY

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 4.-This
was Taft day in Wyoming, and at
every stopping place on the presi.
dents itinerary it was observed In
Fourth Of July fashion. The nations
chief executive was the guest of the
city Of Cheyenne for several hours
and the people regardless of political
affiliations, greeted him with a
warmth and heartiness Of welcome not
exceeded on his transcontinental tour
A reception committee headed by
Governor Carey met the distinguished
visitor at the station and escorted
him to the state capitol. The city's
ordinary population, with hundreds OF
visitors from other parts Of the state
was massed along the streets of the
line of march.

LAND BOARD WILL
ACT ON IGNACIO LANDS

At last some definite act;.l Is about
to be taken by the state land board
in connection with the Ig.:acio Carey
act lands. Last evening at social
gathering of the members OF the state
land board at the Durango club it was
agreed that the members of the board
would return to Durango either Mon
day or Tuesday evening and hold a
meeting and become fully informed
regarding the failure of the present
company to carry out its contract with
the state as well as those taking up
lands. The opening of ten to fifteen
thousand acres of choice land for set
tlement in La Plata county means
much to our people and it is time some
definite action was taken. The mem
bers of the land board intended go
ing to San Miguel county to look
after some land matters but agreed
to put off the visit day and obtain
full information regarding the status
of the Carey lands known as the Ig-
nacio tract.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 4.-President
William Howard Taft closed his siren
uous day in Denver as the guest of
the chamber Of commerce banquet in
the evening at Ell Jebel temple. Six
hundred representative men Of af-
fairs sat down to the feast with him.
Looking down from the gallery were
200 handsomely gowned women, who
were present to pay the respect due
to the nations chief. Just before his
introduction, after the invocation by
Rev. DIR, Coyle and while the ban
queters were singing eve won't go
home until morning." the president
quietly stole away from his seat Of
honor and made his way to the gal
lery. 1t was signal for much APP
plause. He wanted to meet the beau
tiful women guests and his generous
consideration Of them was a sentiment
that at once caught the men folk. He
shook hands with all present and made
many warm friends during the even

COLORADO PERMANENT ExPOsI-
TION.

If present plans are carried out the
Colorado Permanent exposition to be
established in the Chamber of Com.
merce building in Denver will be one
Of the show places Of Colorado. Much
interest is being manifested in the
plan by the various counties Of the
state, and to further stimulate this
interest so that the competition among
the counties for the best exhibits dis
played will be Of the keenest kind,
the Denver chamber Of commerce has
announced list of prizes for such
exhibits that reaches in value $4,000.
The largest prizes offered are for
the best county exhibits. The grand
sweepstke of $500 in cash will go to
the county making the best collective
exhibit, while prizes of 5000 each will
be offered to the counties making the
best grain exhibit; the best fruit ex-
hibit and the best mineral exhibit.
To the county winning the first award
for three years $500 silver cup will
be given.
In addition to these prizes indi-
vidual exhibitors will be awarded
prides donated by the merchants Of
Denver These are all valuable prizes,
and to win any Of them the individual
exhibit must form part Of county
exhibit.
The plan of Permanent Colorado
exposition in Denver has been the
dream of many of the most enthusi-
astic Coloradoans for years, and it
now seems as though the plans under
way will bring this about. The Los
Angeles exposition is point Of in
terest for travellers from all kinda of
the country. Colorado at the present
time has nothing Of this kind, and
scores of inquiries are made daily at
the Chamber Of Commerce building ~
we'll as at Denver hotels regarding
such an exposition where the visitor
may see for himself what Colorado ID
doing.
i The complete prize lists for the ex-
hibitors in the permanent exposition
has been prepared by s. D. Clark, d.
rector Of exhibits, and il bslng ssnl
to the various counties and individuall
interested.

CREMATED IN ST. LOUIS.

Mrs. Blair Burwell arrived on last
evenings train on business trip of a
few days and, will be the guest of
Mrs. j. A. Coppinger until next Tues
day, when she returns to Denver.
The funeral of Mrs. Burwell's dis
tinguished mother, Mrs. Elizabeth b.
Harper, took place in st. Louis, where
she was cremated according to her ex-
pressed wish, reiterated many times
before her death.
After leaving Durango Mrs. Har-
per seemed to lose the reluctance she
had before expressed to move to Den
yer, and took an intense interest in
the life about her. Her last weeks
on earth were pleasant and peaceful
and she seemed as happy as possible,
except on the ways when Illness at
tackled her, and pain undermined her
cheerfulness.
Soon after reaching Denver, Mrs.
Burwell took her mother to st. Louis,
where she improved rapidly. She
slept well, something she had been
unable to do in either Durango or
Denver, and her entire physical con-
dition changed for the better. Mrs.
Burwell remained ten days and then
returned to Denver, where on Sat
urday she received word that her
mother had passed away.

ABOUT THE
BIG FAIR

A very beautiful effect was pro-
duced at the Durango fair by the
massed vegetables, flowers and
sheaves of grain direct from the
binder, such as only the intermoun-
tain states can produce. The columns
were draped with vines and asparagus
now loaded with ripe red berries. The
whole effect says Eugene Grubb was
as one of the great European fruit,
flower and vegetable markets, where
the greatest care is given to artistic
display.
Charles Pearson for thirty years a
farmer in Yorkshire, England, had
first prize for an immense decorated
farm and garden float.
Well seeded flax four feet long,
tapering sugar beets, immense squash
and pumpkins, all bore evidence to the
richness of the soil.
Professor Geo. F. Snyder gives fine
reports from around Fort Lewis, say
ing that all grains and potatoes ripen
we'll at that altitude, 1900 to 5000
feet. Forest reserves, of course, i'm
pede settlers for the present in much
OF the best country where, as at Sill
verton, turnips grow to ten-pound
weight at 9,400 feet, and potatoes
make good crops on land which Pin
chot would call useless, except for for
est trees. Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Lee
vie with each other in display of all
kinds of fruits.
Second Crop Strawberries
There are great boxes of red straw
berries of the second crop, Bartlett
pears and every other kind which
grows above the semi-tropic line, in

section will give a good account of
themselves at the apple show in DEN
yer.
Trotting horses, sincluding Nut
Breaker, 20 years old, and Polar
Wilkes by Eric Will4s, were more
plenty than drafters, ,fbut there was
one grand Percheron;lton horse who
should prove of great value in the
district, exhibited By the Durango
Percheron Horse conapany. The dis
trict is eminently sufed to growing
big horses suitable to farming and
hauling big loads I'd market. The
Jersey show was good, but other
breeds were not Represented, and there
is room for an immense dairy indus
try throughout the SAP Juan.
Luxuriant Grasses.
Grains and grasses are luxuriant,
waiting to be turned into high priced
pi oduct either by cows, beef cattle
or hogs, of which there are far too
few. Over seventy carloads of hog
products are broughtsin annually, and
at present prices this represents a
vast sum of money, which could just
as well be kept at home.
am very glad to have Mr. Grubb's
opinion of things down there, for he
las travelled so much with constant
close attention to things agricultural
that | am glad to have him indorse
the opinion expressed last summer
in feeard 70 the S6ASSaan that il is a
land that teens with opportunities
not only for eastern people, but is far
much neglected by those of our own

TRAIN ROBBERS GET
LITTLE FOR TROUBLE

Western Press.
BARTLESVILLE, Okla, Oct. A.
Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger
train, known as No. 20, from Kansas
City to Oklahoma City, was held up
by three masked men this morning
near Okesa, ten miles south of here.
The robbers rifled the mail and bag
gage cars but are believed to have got
little of value for their pains. They
did not enter the passenger cars and
escaped as soon as they had finished
their work. Two trunks full of valu-
able jewelry, the samples belonging to
a salesman for an eastern firm were
put on the train here but it has not
been learned whether or not they were
stolen.
The hold-up occurred in a new cut.
Workmen had recently laid the track
and the train was running slowly.
Suddenly four shots were fired in rap
id succession and the engineer and
firemen saw three masked men climb
ing over the tender pointing their
revolvers at them. James Myers, the
engineer, was ordered to stop the train
which came to standstill just at the
edge of the trestle.

When he reached Durango Mr.. Scott
grew so much worse that DR.. Lin
genfelter was summoned and remain
ed with him till late last night. While
the doctor said that the patient should
go to the hospital, the latter was so
anxious to get home that il was not
insisted upon.
Instead Of obeying the Doctors or
ders to remain in bed where he could
keep warm and quiet, the sick man
persisted in going in and out Of doors
almost all night. About $3.50 o'clock
this morning the porter at the Savoy
brought him in from the street and
took him to his room, and little be-
fore o'clock saw Mr.. Scott walking
down the street toward the depot. As
the latter reached the Palace he fell

THE JuGGERNAuT CAR.

+. II. Elliott, secretary Of the
American Automobile association, was
talking in New York about an unjust
automobile law.
This law is DUE" he said, ito "A
Misunderstanding of the automobiI-
lists character-an unfortunate mis-
understanding that reminds me OF DR..
Cutler.
"Dr. Cutler was making his rounds
in his electric runabout one morning,
when he had the bad luck to bump into
and upset a pedestrian. The doctor
looked behind, and seeing the man
still supine on the rond he turned his
runabout and came back, intending to
stop beside the poor fellow and help
him.
But the car shot a yard or two
beyond the mark and hit the man
again just as he was getting up. With
a groan, he fell back and the Mortified
doctor turn his runabout once more,
and this time approached with great
er caution.
"As he very slowly and carefully
steered toward his unfortunate victim.
an excited spectator shouted from the
sidewalk:
"Look out, he's coming at you
again'
"Thereupon the man scrambled up
and ran away as fast as painful
limp would let him."

TO INVESTIGATE PIECE SYSTEM

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 4.--The house
la Dor committee, of which Representa-
tive w. B. Wilson of Pennsylvania is
chairman, came to Boston today to
begin an investigation of the workings
of the Taylor piece system which the
government has proposed to install in
al, of the United States navy yards
and arsenals. The system has met
with the bitter opposition of the labor
unions and its installation at the Wa
tertown arsenal recently resulted in a
general strike of the machinists en-
ployed there.
