one fund is frequently taken to pay
the debt owing by another branch of
the business, thus the Colorado lines
OF the Denver & Rio Grande have
been robbed Of their earnings to pay
the crowding debts of the Western
Pacific and the people Of the state
who depend upon their own roads for
their transportation facilities have
been robbed, they have been the Pc
ters in the financial drama whose
means have been taken to quiet the
demands made by Paul. The follow
ing, clipped from the Times, is fully
explanatory:
George J. Gould and associates
have drained the Denver & Rio Grande
resources during the last ten years
to the amount of $45,39O,000 to pay
dividends and to provide funds to
construct new roads which are foreign
to Colorado. That amount, according
to the estimates of prominent engi-
neers, is sufficient to have double
tracked the entire road from Dem
yer to Salt Lake Cit, broad -gauged
its narrow-gauge lines, installed block
signals, laid underground rails, and
tn have made it one of the safest
roads in the country.
"The figures are brought out in
connection with criticisms which have
been made of the policy of the Gould
men in putting earnings into divi-
dcnds to swell the Golfers Of the Gould
family and to build roads hundreds
of miles away from Colorado, in
stead of building up the lines already
owned and operated.
The above figures tell only part of
the tale. The Denver g. Rio Grande
is required to earn s1,500,000 year
for dividend and interest charges on
securities which have been issued for
the purpose of constructing lines in
Nevada and California. On top of
that the local company has assumed
to guarantee the interest on an ad-
ditional $5O,0O0,000 worth of securi-
ties of the Western Pacific and taken
over other obligations which are work
ing hardship on the Colorado cities
and towns which have to make up
these enormous sums in freight
charges.
The Denver & Rio Grande reports
show that it has paid out $4,000, 900
in dividends on it's preferred stock in
the last ten years. 1t bought $685.
100000 second mortgage bonds of the
Western Pacific at net price. including
interest, of $1s,7s4,0O0. 1t further
has advanced to the Western Pacific
up to June 30, 1910, Sd COG 900, most
ly secured from the sale of preferred
stock, which pays per cent per year
in dividends.
at further has to pay the interest
and dividends on its own securities
sold to provide for part of the above.
and in addition stands god for $2,500,-
900 a year interest on Western Pa
cific first mortgage bonds.
The s45,39O,0OO might have been
used in taking proper care of its
present lines was enough to build,
equip and place in operation the Mof-
fat road from Denver to Salt Lake
City. It would have built low-grade
plains line from Denver to Chicago.
IF it had been used to put steel
bridge in at Eden, block signals at
4 l. 4 N
and ballasted ties at Rex, and for
other improvement purposes, fatal ac-
cidents to hundreds of people would
have been avoided"

The Slabtown Sluggers lived down
their ignominous defeat which they
received (due to the activity Of the
refreshment committee)at Tiffany a
couple of Sundays ago, yesterday
when the Sluggers with dozen or
more rooters and fans who enjoy a
good game journeyed to lgnacio
where they defeated the Ute
Indians, by score of 8 to 2. The
Indians had imported white battery,
the pitcher being the well-known AN
dy' Robinson, who played with Sill
verton q couple of years ago ON the
local diamond, defeating Durango
who was pitching "Rip" Starr, when
he was at his best.
Spectators state it was one OF the
most interesting games Witnessed In
the southwest for many moons. The
game was entirely devoid Of costly
errors and double plays showed the
good judgment and ball playing abil-
i'y of the Sluggers.
The local boys are high in the
praise Of the courtesies extended then
by Clerk Wettenhall who, in the alb
sence Of Superintendent Werner, die
the honors of the day. All Ignacit
extended the glad hand and the boy.
look forward with pleasure to re
turn game.
In addition to the Durango crowd
large number of Bayfield, and Ignaci,
section fans were in evidence.
| Bayfield, has asked for game TO
next Sunday and the Sluggers vii
increase the size of their crown o
glory then--so they hope at least.
good game is promised for bayfield,
Anyone who thinks the Ute boy
do not play play have another CUES
coming. The boys play fine cleal
brand of the game, and it was pleas
ure to witness game that went 81
free and entirely devoid of any un
pleasant "rag-chewing."
Now the Shutdown Sluggers ar
held in great esteem. The baseball
poet says:
When they fell down, the FANS SAT-
they were punk,
And nothing but bunch Of third-rat
junk
The anvil chorus rang along tn
stand,
With cries that half the player
should be canned.
That's when they lost. The best ,
loser gets
Is apple-cores and half-smoked ciga
rettes.
But now-just note the difference

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL.

tO avoid trouble, while. Peter has
usually been victim of circumstances
over which he had little or no control
and consequently has been robbed to

A party of Denver gentlemen ar
rived in Durango Sunday evening on
bear hunt. They were clad in hunt
ing costumes of the most approved
western novel type and carried guns
t" match. After ascertaining that
there were days that the wild and
woody residents of this town did not
kill people, they proceeded to search
the strets for bear, but Old Bruin was
temporarily not at home, at least they
failed to tree him at this address and
hied themselves to Porter, Hesperus
and La Plata, hoping to locate his
May time headquarters. Late advice
is that the party had not been molest-
ed by citizens or bear.

STRANGE BUT TRUE.

IL seems strange to see the greatest
cotton producing country in the world
bringing raw cotton half way around
the globe and importing 1t for use in
her own manufacturing industries. It
is nevertheless fact that the United
States, which produces practically
two-thirds Of the worlds cotton,
brought from China during the last
fiscal year 191D more than nine mil.
lion pounds of raw cotton, at a cost
In that country of more than one mil.
lion dollars and from India In 1910
about five and one.half million pounds,
at q valuation OF more than half
million dollars. Other distant sec.
tions of the world were also drawn
upon-Peru, four and three-quarter
million pounds in 1911; Dutch East
Indies, In 1909, nearly a half million
pounds; Hayti, In 1911. nearly half
million pounds, while other contribu.
tors include Venezuela, Ecuador, Brit
ish West Indies, Santo Domingo, Mexi.
co, Panama, Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
while from Egypt, the chief source OF
supply of long stapled, high grade cot
ton, the imports in 1911 were larger
than in any earlier year. amounting
TO eighty-eight million pounds. In
addition to this there was imported
from England about seven and one
half million pounds, presumably
chiefly East Indian, Egyptian and
West African, since England, of
course. produces no cotton. Raw
cotton importations in 1911 were
larger than In any earlier year,
amounting to l13,76s.313 pounds, val
