TWO BILLS RELATING no
CNEwvNN
COTTON

The Clapp bill and the Smith bill,
both fayorably reported in the Sen
ate, are two very different bills, al
though both relate to cotton.
The Clapp bill would render every
railroad or other common carrier
liable on any bill of lading issued by
an authorized agent, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the agent had not
received the goods. This bill should
be passed chiefly because a bill Of
lading is considered the title to the
goods and the company that issues it
should set behind it. The vicious
plan Of issuing bills OF lading before
the delivery Of cotton in order to Sc
cure and promote shipments should
be stopped. The Clapp bill will de-
termine which is the stronger in the
Senate, the railroads or a sense of
5ustice.
The bill presented by Senator
Smith Of South Carolina relates to
cotton contracts instead of bills of
lading. The Smith bill has been ia
vorably reported by the committee
on agriculture, and in every contract
for the future delivery of cotton it
would limit delivery to one grade
above or below that contracted for
and at a difference in price to be
fixed by the commercial difference
that ruled on the day preceding set
tlement of the future contract Inc
passage of the Smith bill would
make a future contract as voluable
as the cotton it represents At pres
ent seller can, under the rules Of
the New York cotton exchange, de-
liver the lowest grade which would
naturally be unspinnable cotton. The
New York cotton exchange will op-
pose the Smith BILL and the fate OF
the bill will also determine which is
the stronger in the Senate, the New
York cotton exchange CIR plain hon
esty in cotton futures.

Sweet potatoes constitute one Of
the principal sources of food for
these people, but most of the seed
and plants in the flooded districts
have been destroyed. Hence, it will
be necessary to depend upon the
highlands for sweet potato plants
and cuttings for planting in the low
country after the waters have sub
sided. Many Of the upland farmers
throughout the South have planted
beds for their own use, and it is
earnestly urged that these beds be
preserved and later crop of plants
obtained for sending to their
stricken fellow-men in the flooded
territory. Any small sweet potatoes
that are now on hand could be
planted to make plants and vine cut
tings. Any farmer having q supply
of either seed sweet potatoes or
plants Will be doing a worthy act il
he places these at the disposal of the
farmers in the flooded districts. The
Information should be given to the
local agent Of the farmers Corpora
tive demonstration work, who will
inform the committee in charge OF
such matters. After the food has
passed arrangements will be made
for transporting and distributing the
plants

APPLICATION FOR RECEIVER
FOR DENvER.LARAmIE FILED
BY CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

1t is charged that one of the men
who had a contract to sell the bonds
of thecompany, and which contract
was annulled because of his reputed
failure to dispose of them, is one
of the factors in spreading reports
of a threatened receiyership and in
juring the credit of the company.
The petition also states that a
few stockholders have employed a
"Kansas attorney" and they have
been making threats which have ir-
reparably damaged the company's
credit.
The petition calls the bond con-
tract Of the three men ''unconscion-
able" and it is charged that the
stories circulated have resulted in
daily demands being made on the
railroad for payment of debts which
cannot be met at this time. The
road, says the petition, has no
property which can be pledged or
mortgaged to raise money, and the
creditors will commence to levy exc
cutions and commence proceedings
to subject to the payment of the
judgements the roads property.
1t is claimed that the large ma
jority of the stockholders have will
ingly submitted to an assessment
and that, II not annoyed and
harrassed by interests unfriendly to
the present management, the road
can be placed on a paying basis In
short time.

Memorial day was ideal Fluffy
clouds veiled the sun, leaving the
air soft and balmy with gentle
breeze stirring. Not once during
the long program at the cemetery
did the hot, withering rays OF the
sun beat upon the barred heads OF
the veterans.
The observance was one OF the
most beautiful and impressive ever
held in Linn Grove. 1t was esti-
mated that 1900 peopel were in at
tendance. This is said to be the
largest crowd ever assembled in the
cemetery.
The road between Linn Grove and
Greeley was lined with teams ana

PERMANENT REORGANIZATION
OF THE RAILWAY COMPANY
EFFECTED AT MEETING HELD
ON WEDNESDAY

A permanent reorganization of
the Denver, Laramie & Northwest
ern railroad was effected Wednes-
day in Denver at meeting of the
directors. w. E. Green was elected
president to succeed Charles s.
Johnson, who was the principal or
ganizer of the company. Mr.. Green
represents about 95 per cent of the
stockholders, and these were prac-
tically unanimous in selecting him.
w. w. Garwood, a Denver attor-
ney, entered the board as a director,
and was elected chairman. Other
Denver men who are financially in
terested in the company succeed the
| members of the retiring faction
which resigned when they found
they were not in harmony with
majority of the stockholders.
The new board is as follows: w.
w. Garwood, chairman; w. E.
Green, ]. R. Pearson. W. A. Will
liams, w. NJ. Irwin and J. d. Milli-
ken of Denver; w. d. Moore, Wich-

good for 80 days. Cabins, comfort
est milk and cream to be had from
the cows of the permanent resi-
dents.
Tribune people became SO favor
ably impressed with the merits of
Eldora that last fall the proprietor
of this paper purchased a cabin
there for the exclusive use of en-
ployes of this paper who wish to
spend their vacations there. This
has been comfortably furnished and
put at the disposal of each employe
for two weeks each season, rent
free. In order to control the neigh
borhood of the Tribune cabin, sew
eral of those adjoining have been
purchased, and these may be had for
the season or for single week or
longer, at reasonable prices by
Greeley people who want to spend
their vacations at Eldora. Near the
Tribune cabin is fine spring of the
purest softest mountain water above
any possible contamination, and
iirewood for the gathering.
Interested in assisting those who
want to try Eldora for an outing
this year, Mr.. Wolfe will be glad tt
furnish all information possible re
garding the place and aid in secur
ing accommodations to those VIII
contemplate going.

An application for a receiver fol-
the Denver, Laramie & Northwest
ern railroad was filed in the United
States district court yesterday in
Denver by William w. Garwood,
chairman of the recently reorganiz-
ed board of directors of the road.
Judge r. E. Lewis will hear the at
torneys on the petition this after
noon.
The action was taken tn forestall
similar action by the faction which
lost out in the attempts to gain
control of the road this week. The
petition asserts that threats of re-
ceivership and suits in state and
federal courts have SO injured the
credit of the company that it can
not pay either the principal of its
bonded or floating Indebtedness and
a friendly receivership is necessary
to protect the creditors and preserve
the property.
It IL asserted that the floating in
is now $425,0OO and
that the company is insolvent and
unable to pay. The court is asked
to administer the property OF tine
railroad as a trust fund. marshal
the assets and take care of the
equities of the stockholders. An
Injunction also is asked for restrain
ing all officers. agents, directors
and employees in any way from in
terfering withthe receiver.

About time to decide on your va
cation plans, isn't it? Hot weather
soon here, and the mountains,
whose snowy tops you see so clearly

inviting.
Well, there's Eldora, at the end
of the Switzerland Trail, 33 miles
west of Boulder, near the foot OF
the Arapahoe Peaks. If you haven't
been up the Switzerland Trail you
have missed something worth while.
For a summer vacation of week or
a month at a cost not beyond the

some of the grandest in the state.
The little railroad that runs from
Boulder to Eldora, the Denver. Boul-

side the big trains of the Colorado
& Southern. But it is staunch and
safe. Only by means of such road
can the narrow. winding canons be
traversed by rail. Starting up Boul-

GIDEON WILL
REMAIN HERE

In response to various rumors
that have been circulated with re-
gard to a policy of retrenchment to
be inaugurated at the State Teach
ers college the following statement
from Prof. Gideon is authorized:
He has made all preparations to
return to Greeley at the close of his
European summer tour. Reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. he
says he has received no official noti-
fication that the board of trustees
has decided to abolish the depart
ment of modern foreign languages,
or that he is not to be the head of
the department. The attitude of
the administration Is apparent from
its action last year when an offer
was made to Prof. Gideon by Stan
ford university Of California. The
administration of the school, on
that occasion, declined to allow him
to 60 on the ground that his ser
vices could not be dispensed with.

farmers will begin to bring in their
cream for shipment to Denver. Both
sweet and sour cream will be
handled and a wagon route will be
esta blished to visit the ranches daily
and collect the supply. The Union
Pacific flyer" has offered to carry
the shipments into Denver and it
will take but an hour and half to

it over to the Denver butter factory.
Sweet cream is particularly desired
and the farmers will be paid 10
cents more per pound, butter fat,
for it than for the sour cream.
