IN CATTLE BUSINESS
Colorado Beef Will Bring More Than
Last Year. Heavy Demand
Cannot Be Supplied

Meeker, Sept. 14.-While fewer live
stock will be marketed in Colorado in
1912 than in 1911, it is believed stock
men will receive $1,0O0,000 more for
the stock sold and that 1918 will ex-
ceed even these figures.
The end of the present year will find
the state with fewer stock than ever
before, but with steady demand and
with small opportunity to increase the
supply.
The change from range to ranch and
enclosed pasture has been in progress
for years, with the gradual decline of
the range Industry and increase Of
stock raising on the farm and ranch.
Then, too, there has been change
from COW herds to steer herds. Range
men disposed of their cows and pur
chased steers in the southwest to re-
stock their ranges, instead of bresling
cattle. The southwest has not enough

BULL MOOSE AT
THE STOCK SHOW

Pueblo, Sept. I9.-Col Theodore
Roosevelt, originator of the Bull Moose.
Teddy Bear and Ananias club, wielder
of the big stick and the short and ugly
word, twice president of the United
States, and the only man who ever
sought the honor a third time, was in
Pueblo today. While his stay was
short the Biggest Mooser of them all
has faculty of stirring up a big fuss
wherever he goes, no matter whether
or not the people believe as he does,
and consequently it was a noisy recep-
tion that he was accorded.
The strenuous one has a personality
that stands out more prominently than
Bryan s bald head or Perkins, Pockets

waves his hat as signal for others
to do the same, he seldom is refused
People humor Roosevelt like they do
spoiled child and this was shown con-
clusively today when the people, with
nothing else to do, and who are staunun
supporters of one of the other candi-
dates for president, applauied when
Teddy gave the cue, and that was often
enough, to be sure.

with the new law.
John A. MacRae was the unanimou4

with the present law.
Chairman MacRae urged hearty c)-
operation of all in the work of the
coming campaign and the candidates
and others present were called upon
and several valuable suggestions Were
advanced. 1t was one of the best

PEELED to breed cattle or go without.
As result the demand for COWS
and heifers has grown steadily for 12
months. Half million steers can be
used in this state this year, but buyers

head, and for these they are paying
fancy prices.
The new conditions have been felt

other section of the state, as the indus.

GRAND VALLEY FRUIT DAY

Fruit Day at Grand Valley last We'd

the attention of all visitors the fact
that the Grand valley is wonderful
section for the production of the very
best of everything in the way of cere-
ais, potatoes, garden produce and all
sorts of fruit.
The fruit display was the principal
feature and nice assortment of all
kinds of fruit was on exhibition, in
cluding canned and preserved fruits
and vegetables. A ball game, horse
races, foot races and other amusements
furnished entertainment for the visit.

abundant supply of peaches had beer
brought in by the ranchmen for free

highly appreciated by the visitors. A

A DOUBLE WEDDING

At the home of Charles A. johnson,
near Una, occurred the wedding last
Wednesday morning of Frederick b.
johnson and Miss Grace A. Yeoma II, ,
both of Grand Valley, and of Jesse w.
Yeoman of Grand Valley and Miss
Hattie Graves of DeBeque. The cere-
mony was performed by j. Foster Jen-
ny, justice of the peace, in the pres
ence of only the immediate friends and
relatives of the interested parties.
Jesse w. Yeoman and Miss Grace
Yeoman, now Mrs. Johnson, are the
son and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Enos f. Yeoman who are among the
pioneers of Parachute creek, having
many years ago settled on wild piece
of land which they developed and in
proved until it is now one of the
ranch and fruit properties of that sec
tion.
Mrs. johnson, at whose home the
wedding took place, is sister of these
young people.
The Post is not definitely advised
as to the intention of the young people
concerning their residence, but pro-
sumes they will make their homes in
some portion of the Grand valley.

HEAVY LOSS BY RECENT FREEZE

Grand Junction, Sept. 1S.-That the
loss to the Iona canning factory by
the recent freeze was no less than
$4,000 was the statement made this
morning by j. f. Quear, the manager
of the concern. The tomato run had
just started, and, instead of getting
10000 cases, as had been hoped, they
had put up only 1900 cases.
Mr.. Quear does not believe that any
of the tomatoes in the county were
saved.
The Iona cannery had also planned
on run of 10000 cases of pumpkins;
but these, too, have been frozen. Six
thousand cans of beans were put up
earlier in the season.
The factory at Iona will probably
be closed down for the year now, unless
it is decided to run a few cases of
apples or other fruit
The Currie factory here will start
shortly on peaches and pears, as the
tomato crop is about all gone.
1t Will run for two or three months
yet.
The Fruita factory has already been
forced to close down.

Denver authorities at train time Thurs.
day night and as the boys seemed to
have had enough of roughing it aud
said they We're anxious to return to
their homes, the sheriff bought them
tickets and sent them to Denver.
They could have been taken into the
county court and held as delinquents
and sent to the state industrial school
but this would have been an expensive
procedure and might have proved the
very worst thing for the boys.
Doubtless their youthful brains have
been fired by the reading of dime
novels or they might have been delud-
ed by the stories that have appeared in
Denver papers of the great uemaud for
fruit piclsers in the Grand valley.
The boys said they stopped at Basalt
and were told that they could soon
have plenty OF work in that section
picking potatoes and they told thu
sheriff they We're on their way TO
Grand Junction, it being their intcn-
tion to pick fruit as long as that work
lasted and then return to Basalt and
get into the potato harvest.
However, when approached by "a
Post reporter when they We're cuddled
up against the warm walls of the coun.
ty Jail they all admitted that home was
a better place than they had taken 1t
to be, and said they wanted no more
travel of the boxear variety, but that
when they reached home they would
be quite content to stay there AMI
make the best of their surroundings.
They did not look like boys VINO have
been abused and it is more than prooa-

it was to go hungry until they started
on this trip which they said they

the good people of Glenwood who so
literally responded to the appeal he
made on behalf of Mrs. Shannon in
her extremity. Mr.. Hays interested
himself in making up a purse to help
Mrs. Shannon defray the heavy ex-
pense of shipping the body of her hus-
band to their former home in Nash
vile, Tenn. He met with a ready re-
sponse on the part of our people and
raised nearly 800 in little over an

preciates the assistance given him in
the matter by G. W. Smith, who
brought him $40 after he thought tho

TO STANDARDlzE
MARSHALL PASS
Rio Grande Announces Plans
For Widening Narrow Road
Across the Divide
TO COST TWO MILLION

Announcement has been made by
President Bush and Vice President
Brown that at recent meeting of the
board of directors of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company, in New
York City, it was decided to standard
ize the present narrow guage line over
Marshall pass between Salida and
Montrose, Colo. This involves widening
the gauge from three feet to four feet
eight and half inches for distance
of 136 miles at a cost of approximately
$2,OOO,OOo.
From 1888 to 1890 transcontinenta
trains of the Denver & Rio Grande
We're operated over Marshall pass, but
IN the year last mentioned the stand
ard gauge line by way of Tennessee
pass and Glenwood Springs to Grand
Junction was constructed and since
then through trains have been operated
over the latter route and the Marshall
pass narrow gauge line has been re-
served especially for tourists and sight
seers and such local freight as or g
mates in the narrow gauge territory.
The Marshall pass route, famed the
world over for its scenic attractions,
crosses the Continental divide at an
altitude of l0,S56 feet, and the new
standard gauge line will cross at the
same elevation and preserve the many
scenic attractions of the old route.
Marshall pass, by reason of being the
first, is perhaps the best known cross
ing of the Continental divide. This
comparatively low pass was discovered
in 1871 by Lieutenant w. l.. Marshall,
at that time attached to the geological
survey, now brigadier general of the
United States army, retired, and a resi-
dent of Washington, d. c. The pass
was named after Lieutenant Marshall
The decision of the directors to APP
propriate SO large sum of money was
arrived at in order to properly take
care of the rapidly increasing transcon-
tinental traffic augmented by the
opening of the Western Pacific rail
way, the Pacific coast extension of the
Denver & Rio Grande, as well as to
take care Of the enormous tonnage IN
fruit, coal, grain, cattle and ore traffic
being developed on the Western slope
of the Rocky mountains in Colorado.
and thereby increase the road s trans
portation facilities by having two
standard gauge lines through the Rocky
mountains.
large engineering force is now in
the field making surveys and rectify-
ing the alignment of such portions of
the narrow gauge as are unsuitable for
standard gauge operation on account of
the curvature. These surveys are being
rapidly made, and when completed con
tract will be let for the new work.
An order will be placed in the very
near future for large number of
heavy steel bridges, which will be re-
quired to take the place of the present
structures, which are adapted for mar
row gauge equipment.
The plans include the broad gaugng
of the Crested Butte branch so that
coal and coke from the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company at
that point can be handled into Pueblo
without transferring from narrow
gauge cars.
