TRAINS STALLED
BY CATERPILLARS

SAPULpA, okla, May s--All
trains on the Midland Valley rail-
road were late into Sapulpa yesterday
ons1ccount Of caterpillars which
swarmed the tracks in the wooded sec
tions so that the locomotive slipped
or were stalled. Trainmen said they
had to sweep the worms from the rails
and sand the track before the wheels
would stick to the rails.
n-Old residents say they have never
before seen the caterpillars as numer-
ous as the are this year, and attribute
the cause to three and a half yea
drought, coupled with mild winters.

PROGRESS IN COLORADO MINING

For capital seeking profitable in

Colorado state bureau of mines will
prove a valuable source of reliable in
formation. In addition to statistics
a map showing the extent and loca-
ton of the coal and metal mining dis

laws, the report takes up in detail
the progress in metallurgy and min

mixed sulphide ores that few years
ago were worthless. AT Leadville the
discovery of zinc carbonates last year
added 33 1-3 per cent to the zinc pro-
duction of the district. Gilpin and
Clear Creek counties have entered
upon an era of prosperity following
the completion of the Newhouse drain
age and transportation tunnel, and the
provision of modern concentrating
plants AT Cripple Creek the water
level is sinking at the rate of three
inches daily, and with the cutting of
other water courses by the Roosevelt
tunnel this will be increased to six

workable depth of the mines in eigh-
teen months. The important advance
made in the application Of the cyan
ide process is shown by the fact that
the Golden Cycle plant at Colorado
City treated nearly SO per cent of the
Cripple Creek output in the year 1910.
The New Portland and the Stratton's s
Independence mills in Cripple Creek
district are handling low grade ore
at cost of $3.50 ton or under and
the Ajax win soon have new mill
in which the Clancy cyanide and cy-
anamide process will be tried out on
commercial scale. At Boulder a
mill will be built that promises to
do for Boulder county what similar
mills have done for Cripple Creek.
ln the San Juan the modern mills
at some of the larger mines have
demonstrated what can be earned in
the treatment of low grade ore, and
the zinc production of the San Juan
will grow with the application of the
same methods that have succeeded
elsewhere in the state. Tungsten pro-
dnction has already become a great In
dustry and arrangements are in prog
ress for the construction Of ferro-
tungsten plant that will save the
freight charges on concentrates now
shipped to eastern plants. Vanadium
production has been retarded by me
tallurgical difficulties, but the mate.
|'i.il is available for an lhpI'tant and
profitable industry. Dredging in the
Summit county placers has been ex'
ccp,ionally rcmrneratiYe, and the STATE
commissioner of mines, T. J. Dalzell
looks for dredging development ir

Boulder oil field have been deter

This may not be the place to make
this complaint, but l hope that you will
help the respectable people who attend
the baseball games at Wiedenmayer's

Manager McGinnity has tried to put a
stop to this practise, he is unable to be
on h playing field and in the grand
stand at the same time. These pests,
for that is all they are, sit in the grand
stand and by their laughter when the
Newark team is losing and their vile
language when the team happens TO
win, they spoil all the pleasure for those
who go there to enjoy a good game of
ball. l think that it Is up to the police
to look after this and see that it is

IN COMPLAINT that the Public Utilities Commission cannot
IN ignore, though it might be evaded, is that of a lawyer,
John w. Zisgen, whose home is at Ramsey. Mr.. Zisgen
has an Office in Jersey City. He applied to the Erie Railroad Com
pany for a Communication ticket between Ramsey and Jersey City
and was fatty refused. The company agent would sell commuta-
ton only between Ramsey and New York. Consequently the COM
muter between Ramsey and Jersey City is required to pay fare
across the Hudson, although he does not go any further than Jersey
City on his ticket. In effect, Jersey City does not exist on the
railroad timetable for the commuter. Lawyer Zisgen filed a com
plant with the Public Utilities Commission and got a reply that
the commission is at present too busy to attend to the complaint
Not to be blufed, the lawyer gives notice that if the commission
does not by next Monday fix a date for a hearing he will apply to.
the court for a mandamus, and failing in that will call upon the
Governor to remove the commissioners for dereiction of duty. Mr.
Zisgen's case is not an isolated one. He is representative of many
other commuters in the same fix. The point involved is one of
paramount Importance. Shall the railroads, for the sake of making
show of interstate Communication rates, be permitted to discrimi
cate against the second largest city of the State in their commute
ton rates by refusing all communication? Shall passengers be com
PEELED to pay the price of a passage across the Hudson every time
they visit Jersey City or leave the city for points in New Jersey?
Can the Public Utilities Commission find no time to give a hearing
on the question?

VIA II WOOL AM COTTON BILLS MEAN.

co HERE is n wealth of meaning in wool and cotton schedule
revision for the masses of the people, and the meaning goes
straight home to every man and woman and every family
circle. The rates of the present schedules, dictated by inordlnate
greed, were prepared by the attorneys of the trusts that control
the manufacture and sale of wooden and cotton fabrics. The tariff
rates o IN wooden and cotton importations were put SO high that the
trust manufacturers could charge exorbitant prices for their goods
without any fear of competition from abroad. Consequently the
cost of these goods to the consumer, fixed by the trusts, has been Elk
cessive. The poor, unable to purchase wooden goods, have had to
buy shoddy. Wooden and cotton goods manufacturers belonging
to the trusts have made fortunes out of this oppression of the
people. The wool and cotton bills and the free list bill were prepared
in this Congress to give the people relief from this legalized rob
berry. The House is performing its duty splenddy and is well
seconded by the combination of Democrats and Republicans in the
Senate. But shall the people be given the benefit of this tariff
reform? IT rests with President Taft. His signature to the three
bills will cheaper all kinds of necessaries. His veto will indefinitely
continue the high prices and fatten the trusts. And it is affirmed
that the President will do the great wrong to the people of vetong
all tariff reform bills that come to him.

where Are the Fundamental..

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In the city of New York the proposed
Gaynor charter is under attack for
one reason. that it provides for a small
board of education. In New Jersey a
law was passed by the last Legislature
with the view of reforming the educa-
tional system and the remedy pro-
vided was the small board.
Reform runs in strange courses. For
instance, to go further, we are told that
we should choose our United States
senator by popular vote, but our men,
bers of the school boards had better
be appointed. 1t is drummed into
our ears that assembly districts are
the proper thing, but freeholder dis
tricts are an abomination. And so
on ad lib. PUZZLED.

NOT CONGENIAL TO SENATOR BAILEY.

G. ENAT0R BAILEY, of Texas, is evidently not as well satisfied
~ in the Senate at the present time as he was when Aldrich
ruled that body. Then the Senate was congenial to him..
The air of the old reactionary Senate suited him better than that
of this Senate, which is Democratic if it is anything. Senator
Bailey was one of the special committee that exonerated Lorimer,
who is now again under investigation because that committee
neglected to look for important evidence. He resigned from the
Senate because he disagreed with his Democratic colleagues over
the Arizona Constitution and then recalled his resignation. He
resigned from the committee on privileges and elections, and now he
is resigned from the monetary commission, on which he was placed
by the favor of Mr.. Taft, because of the criticisms upon the COM
missions extravaganza and it's failure to make a report in more
than three years. Senator Bailey is so far removed in sympathy
from Democrats in Congress that his elimination would not evoke
many expressions of regret.
