RIO GRANDE
CUTS COST Of
OPERATION

New York. Nov. l3.-The most
encouraging sign under the Denver
a Rio Grande's new agreement has
been the scaling down Of carrying
costs. In September transportation
expenses represented but 29.S per
cent of gross revenues as against %I.i
per cent in September, 1871, as say
ing of 2.G per cent Of gross.
An aggressive policy of improve
ment and repair work has permitted
this favorable showing. Vice Presi-
dent Il. L. Brown, who is in New
York, states that the property has
been put in good shape to withstand
any kind of winter weather and that
the prospects for heavy business and
lower expenses the remainder of the
year are excellent.
Some difficulty has been expert
cnccd in getting the necessary ears
with which to handle the traffic,
but principal shortage mas occurred
in refrigerator cars with which kto
move the fruit and vegetable out
put.
About 1000 carloads Of fruit still
await shipment and the shortage of
refrlgeratOrs Is retardng the moveI
ment. No trouble has been expert
enced in supplying coal cars for the
Utah mines.

OF EXPENSES FOR
FIGHTS ON BILLS

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Nov. l3.-City Clerk otto
Thum wants tie new election law
amended by the forthcoming legisla-
ture and says that a law should be
enacted that will further protect cleo
tions in Colorado. His suggestion is
that a law should be passed that will
compel the filing of an expense ac
count with the secretary of state
showing the amount spent in fight
ing for and against all amendments
submitted to a vote of the people of
the state. Under the law an expense
account is filed with the secretary of
the moneys expended by candidates in
prosecuting their election campaign,
and Mr.. Thum thinks 1t should be
compulsory to file a statement of
every cent used during an election for
whatever cause
1t is said here that different organ
izsiiOns, not only in Denver, but
elsewhere in the state, spent more
money boosting the various amend
meuts in the campaign Just closed,
than did all OF the political parties
combined. II is also said that those
who opposed statewide prohibition
spent fully 100000 to-defeat the
measure.
Clerk Thum maintains that mas
much as candidates are compelled to
file a report of their expenses anu
for what the money was used, why
should not these people who use large
sums of money in behalf of certain
bills and against chem, be compelled
to do the same thing.
That law to this effect will be
introduced in the nineteenth general
assembly Is now practically assured,
said Clerk Thum today in discussing
the matter with your representative.
He thinks that such law would not
he unjust and he believes that 1t
would have good effect in any
campaign regarding the use of money
promiscuously in efforts TO carry or
to defeat certain measures.

ing. These "jokers'' completely
ruined the value of the bill.
Mr.. Newton proposes to have
separate bill for Mesa county wheth-
er bill is provided or not. In case
the county does not get its proper
class at the hands of the assembly
the initiated measure which will be
started here will make classification
automatic and completely outside the
activities of the assembly. Like the
postal system, the counties would
then change classification when an
nouncement was made by the director
of the census that they had reached
the population which permitted it. A
certificate from the director would
constitute sufficient authority to re-
adjust the fees and salaries of every
county office.
Mr.. Newton is very optimistic over
the prospects forgetting a special bill
passed converting this county from
the fourth to the second class, to
which it is entitled.

this solutions are still reaching US, al

walks of life, from the little girls in
the primary grades to matrons of ma

teachers and for every reply received
we venture that scores read the ads
and found the missing letters without
thinking of entering for a prize.
The first solution received was from
Roe Brown who received at about 1:3O,
Tuesday, the $l.0O prize for the FIRST
correct answer from the city. A few

for the benefit of those who did not
find all the letters we give the correct

"Woellstein' in his ad; from ''billiard"
