New Railroad Rumor.

Denver.-Breckenr Dillon, Fris.
co, Kokomo and a dozen other towns
and mining camps, which are now
practically devoid OF railroad facilities,
ewing to the abandonment by the
Colorado & Southern of its Brecken-
ridge line over Boreas pass. may re-
ceive relief from an entirely unex-
pected quarter, and that through a
Iian that seems more feasible than
any yet proposed. The presence in
Denver recently of large railroad con-
tractors, among whom was p. F. Rein
hardt, formerly of Steamboat Springs,
but now of Missoula, Mont, was
coupled in the minds of some shrewd
observers with project to build a
railroad from Dillon, on the Denver &
Rio Grande's Blue river narrow gauge
division and the Colorado & Southern's S
South Park line, to kremmlng, on the
Moffat road, 126 miles west of Den
yer. These contractors do not deny
that a strong effort has been made
TO finance such a road, and that, If
success has not already been attained,
it is likely to be at any time. Physi-
cal conditions are ideal for such a
road, as the route follows the Blue
river at easy water grade for the en-
tire distance. which is As miles. 1t is
said that the road, if built, will be
broad gauge.

Money for Electric Line Assured.

Greeley.-E. n. Reaser. promoter OF
the Denver-Greeley Interurban rail-
road, says that a deal has been closed
by which money will soon be available
to completely finance the road as first
proposed, with branches to cover all
northern Colorado with network OF
lines. The road was first proposed to
run from Greeley directly to Denver
by way of Fort Lupton, but recently il
was decided to extend the Denve--Fort
Lupton line to Estes Park by way Of
Longmont. furnishing transportation
facilities for an immense territory and
carrying hundreds OF tourists into Es-
tes Park over an easy and quick route
from Denver
About $500 tourists visit Estes Park
annually and by the proposed electric
line the number will be doubled, it is
believed. Rights OF way for the Den
ver-Greeley & Interurban line have
been secured from Denver to Greeley.

1T IS A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell il advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but 1t is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example OF the big success OF
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic This wonderful rec
ord is the result Of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie. by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing we'll advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow .
substitute to be palmed of on you.

COLORADO wins
FORT LEWIS
SENATE REJECTS AMENDMENT
TO WITHDRAW PROPERTY
FROM THE STATE.
s60,o0o APPROPRIATED
SENATOR WARREN ASKS 10000
ACRES OF LAND FOR THE
STATE OF WYOMING.

Washington.-Upon motion OF Sen
ator Guggenheim the Senate rejected
the amendment of the Indian Affairs
Committee to the Indian appropria-
tion bill, by which it was sought TO
repeal the law granting the Fort Lew
is Indian school lands and property "
Colorado In relation to the matter
and In support of the point OF order
which he raised against the amend
ment Senator Guggenheim presented
and had printed in the Record letter
from Governor Shafroth stating that
he had accepted the Fort Lewis grant
on behalf of the state.
The Senator also said he had been
informed that the State Legislature
had made an appropriation OF s60.Ooo
to carry into effect the provisions OF
the grant requiring that the school be
maintained and that Indian pupils be
admitted free Of charge.
In addition to the letter OF the gov
ernor accepting the grant, copies OF all
the correspondence between the exec
utiye and the secretary of the interior
were presented and placed in the Rec
ord. These included copy of letter
from Governor Shafroth of October 5th
last. advising that he would accept the
grant and would urge the State Legis-
lature to appropriate money for the
school Also a letter Of January 20,
1911, stating that after consulting law
yers he found that an acceptance OF
the grant before action of the Legisla-
ture was taken would be legal.
In view OF this showing and the fact
that the amendment proposed new
legislation, Senator Guggenheim' S
point OF order against the amendment
was sustained This action undoubt-
edly will terminate the efforts of the
Interior Department to withhold the
Fort Lewis property from the state.
Senator Guggenheim, who has been
trying to have the War Department is
sue modern arms and equipments to
the Denver High School Cadet organ
ization, has been advised by the sec
retary OF war that If the school au-
thorities can find some suitable re-
tired officer who will accept the posi-
tactics at the Denver high schools the
department will detail him to that
duty and upon the approval of the gov
ernor of Colorado will issue the arms
and equipment necessary.
The law regulating issuance of arms
restricts them to schools employing
an officer of the army as instructor
and prescribes that no detail of an
officer as an instructor shall be made
unless the school shall pay the cost
or his commutation OF quarters and
the extra duty pay he would be en-
titled to receive for the performance
of special duty.
Senator Warren will introduce bill

rroyal OF the secretary of the interior.
