MIR. Fuller is war correspondent

to the other more cheapiy and quickly
than they can unload and reload, but
in spite of this admission they have
declined to do so. As another alterna-
tive, they have been asked to lay
third rail from Durango to Farming
ton, thus enabling them to run all
their narrow gauge cars to and from
this place with one transfer Of con-
tents at Alamosa instead Of two as
now, which would enable them to fur
nish US with narrow gauge refrigera-
tor cars from here to Alamosa, one
transfer, and standard gauge refriRer-
ators from there on; but they have
also failed to do this, or to make
any other adequate preparations to
handle the crop, although these sew
eral propositions have been under dis
cussion for more than two years be-
tween railroad officials and represen-
tatives of this district.
Some of our people have come to
believe, and there seems to be a great
deal to Indicate it, that the railroad
company is trying to force the grow
ers to make their shipments entirely
by express. The freight rate from
here TO Denver is 55 cents and the
express rate $1.l5, or five cents more
than double. The express company
which operates in connection with the
d. & X. G. being the Globe, which
is an auxiliary company.
If something cannot be done to re-
lieve the situation and put our fruit
on the market in proper time and con-
dition at least half the value of a
crop worth Approximately one mil
lion dollar will be lost. The express
proposition does not offer solution
because the rate by that means is so
high that it completely robs the grow
er of his profit, and it is apparent that
it is only subterfuge Of the company,
becaue if it can run its express trains
on passenger time and make its trans
fers without missing connections,
which it offers to do on express ship
ments, it can do the same with its
freight trains.
This season we have a very large
crop, Of superior quality in every re-
spect. This applies to all our fruits
peaches, pears, apples, plums and
those OF minor Importance. There is
an extraordinary demand for our
fruits this year, particularly peaches,
in eastern Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa and states north Of them, two or
three st. Louis and Kansas City firms
alone being willing to contract for our
entire crop. 1t is therefore very evi-
dent that the d. & R. G. railroad alone
stands in the way o., and il it does not
Immediately change its policy, will

to James r. McDaniels, a rancher re-

says later on the ranch of Ray Judd,
where he had evidently stumbled into
a well ten feet deep, containing four
feet of water. He had thrown his hat
and Goa out of the we'll and endeav-
ored to climb out, marks of his fingers
sunk into the soft earth showing on
the sides, and there was every 'evi'
dence that he had made a desperate
struggle for his life before he sank
exhausted into the icy water. Coroner
Brandt of Sturgis visited the spot and
decided to hold no inquest, and the
body was shipped to Tekamah, Neb.,
