There are nearly $1,000 more idle rail
road cars in the United States at pres
ent than there were one year ago, which
doesn't speak volumes for prosperous
conditions throughout the country as a
whole. Nevertheless, the surplusage
comes at time most convenient for
Barre shippers of granite. The rail
roads have less excuse for failure to
provide the needed vehicles for trans

Cheering news comes from the state
forestry department, as is fully evil
denced by the article printed in The
News on April 9, showing the increas
ing interest all over the state in the
matter of planting small trees. The
reforestation movement has gained
great Roadway, and in practically every
county in the state land owners have
planted in the aggregate hundreds of
acres to the seedlings furnished by the
state nursery. The policy of the state
Legislature has given reforestation great
impetus. Under the present law the
only taxation is on the land itself
which shall be assessed not to exceed
S. an acre. Any forest grower car
well afford to pay the state the 10 pei
cent. as required, on the stumpage
when the timber is large enough to be
cut. The reforestation enterprise j:

COLORADO PRODUCES 1o.s77,s24

Over 1911, and Output Was
Valued at $16,345,336.

Trinidad.-Colorado is the most i'm
portant coal-producing state west OF
Mississippi river and ranks seventh
among all the states. The coal mined
in 1912 was 10,977,S24 short tons, an
increase of 82O.441 tons over 1911, ac-
cording to E. W. Parker, Of the United
States Geological Survey at Washing
ton. The value increased from $14.-
747,764 to $16.345.336. This increased
production may be attributed to the
bountiful crops and general prosper
ity throughout the state. which nat
urally created an improved condition
in the coal trade, particularly in the
last four months of the year. There
was much complaint of deficiencies in
labor and car supplies.
The coal-mining industry of Colora-
do was singularly free from labor
troubles in 1912, an output Of practi-
cally 100000 tons being won with
out a strike or suspension, SO far as
reported. The United States Bureau
of Mines reports a total of ninety
five deaths from accidents In the coal
of four over 1911.
In quality the Goals of Colorado
range from subbituminous (black lig-
niteD, in the Denver region, through
various grades of bituminOus, includ-
ing the high-grade coking coal of the
Trinidad and Glenwood Springs fields.
to true anthracite. in the Crested
Butte and Yampa fields. Some of the
coal beds of Colorado attain enor-
nous thickness. This is especially
true in the Glenwood Springs field,
and some of the beds in the North
Park field are also said to be Of great
thickness. The totai area undcrlain
by coal in Colorado Is estimated at
17.130 square miles. and about sixty
per cent OF that entire area is be-
lieved to contain coal that is workable
under present conditions. The state
contains areas embracing over 1000
square miles about which little is
known, but which may contain work
able coal. and nearly 5000 square
miles in which the coal lies under
heavy cover and Is therefore not work
able at present.
In point Of production the most i'm
portant area is the Trinidad field, un-
derlying considerable portions OF
Huerfano and Las Animas counties.
which in its southern extension into
New Mexico as the Ration field Is al
80 the most important producer in
that state. The coal of this field is a
high-grade coking coal. probably the
best coal Of that grade in the Rocky
Mountain states.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee, even after they know 1t Is doing
them harm. is a puzzler. But 1t Is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years. but kept on drinking coffee.
"One day l asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally, one day. she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum 80
freely and with such relish, l asked
for taste.
That started me on Postum and l
coffee, which never comes into our
house now"

HIGH TIDE OF WAR.

TURNING POINT OF GREAT
CIVIL CONFLICT.
BOTH SIDES FOUGHT BRAvELY
Three Days Of Fighting That Resulted
In Total Losses Of Over $4,000 and
Put Confederate Forces on the
Defensive.

Bravely fought by two great armies
OF Americans. bravely won by the Fed
erals and bravely lost by the Confed-
crates the battle of Gettysburg proved
to be the turning point OF the Civil
war. Before that the victories of the
south were frequent and its armies
were aggressive. After the bloody
battle Of July 1. 2 and 3. 1868, the
forces Of the Confederacy were gen.
orally on the defensive. Lees inva-
sion OF the north. undertaken in the
hope that 1t would bring foreign aid
to the southern cause, was brought to
. sudden and disastrous end.
General Lees army at Gettysburg
numbered approximately $4,000, while
the Federal forces. under command of
Gen. George G. Meade. aggregated
about $4,000 ofncers and men. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
Longstreet. Ewell and A. P. Hill. Com
manders OF the Union corps were Gen.
