EUREKA 8 PALISADE RAILROAD

Under date of December 22nd,
the Palisade correspondent of the
Eureka Sentinel wrote as follows
regarding the progress of recon
s%truction work on the Eureka &
Palisade railroad:
Last Sunday snow storm and
extreme cold weather prevailing
in this section at different periods
during the past two weeks has
seriously delayed the reconstruct
tion work on the Eureka & Palsade
railroad. While the thermometer
has dropped to six below at Pali-
SADIE, * is reported TO have gone
as low as 20 degrees below at
several places in Pine valley. Only
about four inches of snow fell here
and through Pine valley on Sunday.
but the foreman of the construc-
ton gangs report that the severe
cold has made it almost Impossible
to keep the men from quitting
work, and they are now working
with a considerably decreased
force.
The delay caused by the lack
of rails for laying the track
through Palisade canyon vas
relieved Thursday by the arrival
of several carloads Of rails from
the steel mills at Pueblo, Colo
RADIO, and they arc now being car
ried forward and laid in place in
the canyon. The bridge across
Pine creek is so far completed that
the construction engineer is able
to pass over it with construction
material, and the pile driver is
now engaged at other work in the
canyon.
The superintendent Of the con-
struction work Informed your
correspondent this week that bar
ring unforeseen trouble he
calculated that all construction
work in Palisade canyon the s or
10 miles of badly washed on,
road would be finished by about
the middle of January, and the line
from there to Blackburn could
then be completed in short order.
The above statement rather
knocks out my recent prediction
that there was a probability Of
Eureka seeing a through train
from Palisade by January l, and
| have decided not to make any
more prophesies regarding rail
road reconstruction work until
get a better line on the Pueblo
steel mills and climatic conditions
in Pine Valley.

GOOD ROADS men
DEFINITE ANNOUNCEMENT HAS
BEEN RECEIVED REGARDING
THE COMING OF GOOD ROADS
MEN FROM SOUTH DAKOTA
RECEPTION SATURDAY NIGHT.

The arrival Of the meridian good
roads committee OF South Dakota in
Fargo has been very much up in the
air during the present week, but was
finally settled today by a special mes
sage received by President Hardy of
the commercial club announcing that
the committee would be here Monday.
Much confusion arose regarding the
coming OF the coyotes meridian road
men. An itinerary was planned for
last week which placed them here a
week ago yesterday, but had to be
abandoned on account OF rains. A
second itinerary was made placing
them in Fargo yesterday, but for some
reason or other this failed to be
completed according to the schedule.
Several kilograms have been receiv-
ed by The Forum announcing the
stops OF the committee in different
towns. However, the matter Of their
coming to Fargo has been rather con-
fused until today.
President Hardy OF the commercial
club has announced that there will be
a reception for the visiting good roads
men Saturday evening at the club
rooms from until 10 o'clock Every
one interested in the subject of good
roads is invited to attend.
I Fargo is the destination OF the COM
mittee. This committee is part of q
working organization to lay out q
road on the ninety seventh meridian
or as near as possible in line with 1t
This road is expected to extend from
Winnipeg to Galveston, Tex.

Tricks That Formerly Obtained in

Pittsburgh Sun: Whatever lines of

when he declared that honesty, open
ness, frankness constitute "a new
idea" it is not to be inferred that the
highest moral standard was unknown
to past generations Of American bus
mess men. old fashioned honesty"
is not an empty phrase; it describes
the honor and principle ruling the
counter, the mill and the ONCE in days
long before the coming Of an easy go

The Judge illustrated his line of
thought by citing the former practice
OF concealing our plumbing, "andvery
poor, unsatisfactory work 1t was" he
said. I'VE expose 1t now. and 1t is al

When I think of some Of the tricks
that used to obtain in reputable busi-
ness am reminded OF the seaside auc-
tioneer. This scoundrel once held up
$40 gold piece and said: Guess the
date on this piece of money, friends.
Make guess and small purchase and
the correct guesser takes the COIN So
everybody in the crowd guessed; ev-
erybody bought some worthless rub
bish, and the dealer netted huge
profit. Then at the end he looked at

Grain Opinions.

Shearson- Hammiil Co.-The wheat
market still has a draggy appearance.
Logan & Bryant is generally
conceded that the local trade is not
pnIy out of long wheat bought last
week, but short around bottom prices.
Finley Darrell Co.-Buy wheat on
any further setback, as we believe
the situation is sufficiently strong to
prevent any permanent depression
from the dollar level for December.
In view of our recent house cleaning
in corn some reaction would not prove
surprising, but in our opinion nothing
short of a prolonged wet spell from
now on will prevent values from sag
ging to a still lower basis as all ad-
vices at the moment indicate very
heavy and early movement of new
corn.

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 27.--A cessation OF the
heavy selling of corn, especially De-
cember caused a shifting Of local SEN
timent to the bull side for a turn
yesterday. So far the offerings OF new
corn have been made and the cash
demand at the decline was brisk
enough to indicate the first arrivals
would be well taken care Of. The point
Is made in favor Of the bull side that
with local stocks practically nothing
che first arrivals of the new crop Will
be marketed quickly and that there
will be no opportunity to build up any
big stocks before the end Of Decem-
Der. On the other hand indications
are that feeding operations will be
smaller than a year ago and that
farmers will sell corn at prevailing
prices instead of marketing it in shape
of live stock. Naturally much will
depend on weather conditions Sen
timent at the close was generally in
1avor of moderate recovery in prices.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evening Grain Letter

Chicago, Oct. Wheat: The mar
net opened easier and ruled very weak
throughout the session, the rallies be-
ing feeble and few. The weakness
In the securities market doubtless
brought about great deal of scattered
liquidation with support practically
hacking. Kansas City reports sales or
about 100000 bushels Of cash wheat.
There is nothing in the immediate
situation to encourage one to take the
long side of the market but todays
break has been pretty severe and the
market may have become over-scAd.
The leading longs are, apparently, stiil
holding to their original position.

EARLY MARRIAGE AN EVIL.
Guard Entrance Into Matrimony and
Divorce Will Cease.

Divorce Will Cease.
Chicago Daily Tribune: The Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union OF
Kansas has done an admirable thing
in raising the question OF the restric-
ton OF marriage. There Is q strong
demand for restriction on divorce, but
very little discussion of more fun
damental evil. the ill-judged marriage.
Restrictions by law are subject to
drawbacks, however. both in the case
OF more stringent divorce laws and in
that OF restrictions to marriage. Both
tempt irregular relations or non-en-
forcement. Both evils must be met
chiefly by education, moral suasion
and social discipline.
However, we shall not rid ourselves
OF the divorce evil until by all means
we guard entrance into matrimony.
Eugenics Is emphasizing this necessity
on the scientific side, and the tendency
Of civilized society unuuestionably Is
toward more broadly rational treat
ment OF the marriage relation and of
the whole problem OF the sexes in our
more complex social life.
