State Immigration Commissioner
Paddock has Just received samples OF
spuds raised in both districts and
also Information regarding the potato
situation down in that part OF the
state. which Is good. Mr.. Paddock
believes that the southern Colorado
potato Is equally as fine as the Gree
ley potato.
The counties where the acreage
this year was the largest are Mineral.
Saguche, Conejos and Costilla. Com
missioner Paddock says that the out
put OF this seasons crop from this
distrlc; ought to easily reach i total
of G.000 cars which would mean ap-
proximately 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes.
Formerly Weld county alone pro-
duced $4,000 acres of potatoes a
year. but this season there were
planted to potatoes in that county
only 20,960 acres, sugar beets sup
planting the spud in this county. The
acreage of sugar beets this year in
Weld is $4,000.
Quite a number of counties are
already sending in samples of pro-
ducts to be used for displays in the
permanent capitol exhibit that has
been planned by the state immigra-
ton bureau. From the favorable
manner in which the different coun-
ties have taken hold of this display
indicates that 1t is going TO be n
success from the very start. Already

DODGE FO|LEO
IN BIG DEAL BY
D.8.R.G. HEAD

Denver. Sept THE negotiations
pending the reorganization of the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific rail-
road have brought to light for the
first time some of the inside history
OF a well-matured plan which Col.
ID. G. Dodge and associates had under
way . years ago to give Denver 4
new railroad to the Pacific coast
1t was kept from the public at the
time on account OF a change In the
plans.
The incident occurred in 1901
when the Denver x Rio Grande ac-
quired control of the Rio Grande
Western. which was then dominated
by Colonel Dodge. William ]. Palm
er and George Foster Peabody. E. T.
Jeffrey had assumed the presidency
of the Denver & Rio Grande and all
was not peace between Jeffrey and
Colonel Dodge The Rio Grande
Western had acquired half interest
in the Colorado Midland and the
Colorado & Southern owned the 9TH
er half interest.
President Jeffery wanted to push
the Denver & Rio Grande on to Salt
Lake City. and that meant he must
either deal with General Palmer
and Colonel Dodge or build new
line. Colonel Dodge and his associ-
ates had been quietly at work at the
same time acquiring stock in the Col
orado & Southern and had succeeded
in getting majority of the stock
outstanding. That gave them absolute
domination not only of the Rio
Grande Western and Colorado Mid
land. but the Colorado & Southern.
n nd 81 . tE,.. 1ffn
from Denver to Salt Lake City.
The lineup at that time was so sat
isfactory. with terminals in Denver
and Salt Lake City and half the dis
tance already covered, that Coonei
Dodge and associates were quietly
getting ready to cut loose from the
Denver & Rio Grande and build on
to San Francisco. In some unknown
way Jeffery learned of the plan and
saw at once that he would be outwit-
ted. The deal would have left the
Denver & Rio Grande high and dry
at Grand Junction with the other
road in a position to beat il TO the
coast by at least two years.
Colonel Dodge and General Palmer
were at once approached on the
subject of a purchase of the Rio
Grande Western and the deal was
consummated The Denver & Rio
Grande in that way got the Rio
Grande Westerns half interest in the
Colorado Midland and also majority
of the capital stock of the Colorado
& Southern. The latter was soon
thereafter sold and the Rio Grande
Western became the route for the
Denver & Rio Grande's extension to
the Pacific coast.
While the deal was under way it is
understood that Jeffery baked and
expressed a desire to break off the
negotiations. Colonel Dodge is said
to have offered Jeffery a large bonus
to withdraw so he could 90 ahead
with the original plan of using the
Colorado Midland for a through
route. Jenery reconsidered the sub
ject and declined the offer. The deal
which followed probably had more to
do with changing the railroad situa-
tion of the west than any consum-
mated in recent years.

COURT SETS PRICE
Sons OvercOat Too Expensive
at $65, the Ruling
When Father Wears One Cost
ing Only $50.

New York, Dec. 5.-Sixty-flve dol
lars is too much for a college boy to
pay for an overcoat when his father
is wearing a $40 one, and the New
York state supreme court has just de-
clined to enforce payment by the
father of a tailor's bill of this charac-
ter.
The suit was brought by a tailor in
Middletown, Conn, against NJ. A. Bal
ley of New York, whose son is a stu
dent at Wesleyan university. When
the tailor sent his bill to Mr.. Bailey
the father replied:
81 acknowledge no responsibility
whatever for this account. My son
needed an overcoat and expected to
purchase it for him at $40. The
clothes expected to purchase were of
the grade that purchase for myself,
the grade which is in harmony with
his station in life
The courts ruling in the case is as
follows: This was no case of neces-
s1ty. The father was willing and able
to provide his son with the things he
ought to have. The tailor, in advising
the purchase of expensive goods was
inserting himself into the family circle
and setting his judgment against that
of the father"

DECREASE TEXAS REVENUES.
Order of Railway Commission VIII
Hurt Lines.

Austin, Tex. Dec. 5.-An order
which the state railroad commission
has just issued, requiring the rail-
roads of Texas to absorb switching
charges, will, it is claimed by the
representatives of the lines affected,
cause an enormous decrease in their
annual revenue. The order is effec-
tive January 1, 1913, and is of much
Importance to the shipping interests
of the state. In substance the order
requires the railroads to absorb all
switching charges on competitive and
business, with a guar
antee of $3.50 transportation reye-
nue. on each car. The new rule reads
as follows:
Switching charges shall, in all
cases, be absorbed by the line or
lines of railway performing the trans
portation haul on the car switched
out of the freight charges accruing
under the authorized freight rate ap-
plicable for the transportation of the
shipped between origin
and destination stations; provided that
the net transportation charge shall
not in any case, by such absorption, be
reduced below $3.50 per car"

CALF CASE ENDS
Was in Court Four Years
Cost $4,000.
Hide in Court Showed Neither
Marks Nor Brands.

Jetmore, Kan, Dec. 5.-The Calf
case, thought by lawyers the most ia
nous and ridiculous ever tried in the
state, is ended. Four years ago Pro-
bate Judge Barstow bought a calf of
one Smith. E. Netigate claimed own
ership and brought a replevin suit.
Both were prominent men of Hodge
man county, a cattle region where men
would fight willingly for the "princi-
pie" involved in cattle disputes. Much
friction resulted. Four years of liti-
cation followed, involving suits and
counter suits, impossible verdicts and
retriaIs
The states best legal talent was en-
ployed. RancherS waxed hot. Jet
more was put on the map and while
$4,000 was being spent for it's posses
sion the poor little $12 calf died.
But this did not stay the conflict.
BY general agreement the calf was
skinned and the fight continued over
the possession of the hide. Expert
veterinarians and cattle dealers were
called to testify regarding markings
on the hide. One side contended they
were brands. The other barbed wire
cuts. The psychological climax came
when the hide was introduced in evil
dence in the last trial and the hide
showed no markings whatever. The
skin of the disputed calf had been
stolen. In disgust the jury returned
verdict for defendants, Barstow &
Schultz.

BRISTOW FOR RECALL.
Offers a Resolution Providing for a
Constitutional Amendment.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The initiative
and the recall of judicial decisions as
amendments to the federal constitution
were proposed by Senator Bris-
tow in resolutions laid before the SEN
ate.
Senator Bristow's first resolution
would permit the president to submit
to popular vote at a congressional cleo
ton any measure he has recommended
to congress and upon which no action
has been taken for six months. The
second would provide that eff the SUI
preme court shall decide a law enact
ed by congress is in violation of the
provisions of the constitution of the
United States the congress at reg
ular session held after such decision
may submit the act to the electors at
a regular congressional election
Under each amendment. it is proposed
that the questions submitted to the
people must have a majority of the
popular vote in a majority of the
states. as well as in a majority of the
congressional districts of the nation.
In a brief explanation Senator Bristow
declared the amendment affecting the
president would enable him to appeal
from a dilatory or adverse congress to
the people and that a president could
not as an excuse for signing an I'M
desirable measure say that it was the
best he could get from an unfriendly
congress.
Senator Bristow in support of his
amendment affecting decisions of the
supreme court declared it would "give
to the people an opportunity to state
whether or not they desire the law
enacted by congress and approved by
the president to stand as the last ex-
preston of their will and Judgment

tial gain over last year. The North
western gained nearly 10000 cars, Its
movement of ore being immense, ana
1t is not short of cars. The santa re
increased Is per cent. over last year,
but officials say that they would not
be surprised to see a letup late in De-
cember or early in January, as II US
