1T is said that this traffic can be
expeditiously by broad gauging from
Montrose to Ouray first Through
standard gauge trains from here to
Denver could then be routed by way
of Grand Junction, and practically the
only part OF the line that would be
seriously inconveniencod during the
improvements on the pass would be
the territory SURROUNDING Gunnison.
Since It is known that the company
expects to start work on Marshall
pass as soon as the weather permits
next summer. the obvious conclusion
is that the Ouray- -Montrose stretch
will be changed this winter. The work
gangs now on Soldiers Summit VIII
soon finish the improvements there,
and rumor has il tLat the company
will use some OF these men on the
work here.
Owing to the fact that work in
this part Of the ling can be underta-
ken almost any time in the winter.
when it would be utterly impossible on
the pass, and would cost no more if
done before than II done after the
longer portion. and to the further fact
that there would be considerable saw
ing in traffic troubles by making the
change here first. there is n palusibili-
ty about the rumor that makes 1t at

ONE WAY TO KEEP THE BOYS
AND GIRLS ON THE FARM

Some time ago the boys and girls in
"a schools in Wright county, Iowa,
were asked what they wanted to do
on reaching maturity OF the 164 boys,
157 wanted to leave the farm, and 1853
of the 174 girls wanted to do likewise
After agricultural subjects and home
economics had been taught in the
schools for three years, the same ques-
ton was asked again. This time 1862
of the LA boys and 161 of the 17S
girls wanted to stay on the farm.
Believing the best way to keep boys
and girls on the farm is by giving an
opportunity to learn new and improved
methods, and how farming may be
made profitable and pleasant with less
expense and labor our county superin-
tendent has urged the seventh and
eighth grades in the rural schools of
Delta county to take up the study of
agriculture, following in part at least,
the course outlined by the extension
department of the Colorado Agricul-
tural college.
The grammar grade at Eckert has
taken up this work and in order to
awaken interest and enthusiasm
among patrons and students, the high

State Matters.

Senator Patterson has commenced a
vicious attack on the state land board
by reason of the appointment of Voll-
ney T. Hoggatt as land board commits
sioner by Governor Ammons. Hog
satt was appointed at the request of
Tammen and Bonfils of the Denver
Post. Patterson claims that Hoggatt
has been connected with all of the
land and other deals of the Denver
Post and is not fit man for the place
Governor Ammons has made the
statement that If the state can real
ize 100000 in inheritance tax off the
estate of John A. Thatcher, all approp-
riations can be paid. In other words
the present administration is depen-
dent upon the death of the citizens of
the state in order to pay its bills. In
hertiance tax collections should be
used for the educational institutions
and good roads. They should
not be used, as planned by
Governor Ammons, for the payment of
the salaries of useless politicians. The
inheritance tax this biennial period
will amount to approximately 5000, 900
If this money was placed to the credit
of the educational institutions and the
highway commission it would only
be short time until the state could
realize a lasting benefit from it. By
paying it out for political salaries no
good comes to the state whatever.

Colorado Marble for Lincoln Memorial


The white marble of which the great
50, ,000, 900 Lincoln memorial temple is
to be built on the banks of the Poto-
mac in Washington is to come from
the Sopris national forest, Colorado.
This is said to be the first great
building in the east to be constructed
of this stone, although much of it has
been used as an interior finish in pub
ample is found in the new federal
building in Denver.
While the marble quarries are in the
midst of the national forest, they are
on private land secured under the laws
by which areas bearing deposits of
building stone are disposed of by the
government. Under the law, prospect
ors can locate and secure title to min
eral deposits on the national forests
just as they can on the open public do
main. The marble company which
owns the quarry is a large user of ma
tional forest timber in the working of
its properties, situated near Marble,
Colorado.
The history of the company is said
to be of considerable interest, as rep
resenting indomitable enterprise
hgainst difficulties. The country in
which the marble deposits occur is ex-
tremely rough and precipitous, and for
long time was inaccessible because
of lack of transportation facilities.
Large sums had to be expended before
the stone could be got out and brought
to market. Up to 1907, when the pro-
duct first began to attract attention, it
is said that s1,2OO,O00 had been ex-
pended in developing the property.

The Castilian love for fine apparel
has been instrumental in enriching

extent, and Mrs. Alice Jordan, the

of the charities in search of clothes,
which they were sadly in need of, &C
cording to their appearance. A few
hurried calls over the telephone, and,
after a while, little grey and blue
suits; in fact, suits that would glad
den the heart OF almost any boy be-
tween the ages of IL and Is years,
began to pour into the office from at
least a dozen sources. Then it was
that the rub came. Prior to telephon-

BASKETBALLA At
THE Y.M.C,A. IS
FAST and SNAPPY
Waikikis Defeat the HonoluIus
and HaWaiiS Lose to the
NuuanuS

Two exciting games of basket ball
were played at the Y. M. G. A. Satur-
day evening. In the opening contest
the Waikikis, captained by George
Dwight, took the honors, winning by
one point There was doubt at all
times which team would take the
during the contest. The Honolulus
made game fight against their op-
ponents, the Waihkis, but through
several misplays and lack of team
work they lost ground. The first half
was rough and tumble affair with
fair amount of team work The
Waikikis under Dwight played a fast
game, Durkee, did some remarkable
work as guard and it was through
his efforts that the team scored the
number of points to put them in the
lead. Every man did his best in the
first game and the score shows both
teams were equally matched.

The second game, in which the Nuu-
anus met the Hawaiis. was a slightly
slower game than in the first, but with
more team work. The Hawaiis under
Captain Scott started of with a rush
in the first half, running up the score
13 points to Nuuanus 4. Pat O'Sulli-
van on the Hawaiis did some excel
lent goal shooting from the field. Can
non also played very good game
and Comes held down guard position
quite effectively. Cannon threw two
field goals, Comes one and O'Sullivan
4 in addition to two foul throws. In
the second half r. G. Blackshear went
in Colburn's place. The Nuuanus raj
lied in the last half of play by coming
back at their opponents with one field
goal by Gilliland, two by Chris Lewis,
two field goals by Forrest and one
foul throw, and one field goal by Mar
callino, making Is points against the
4 of Hawaiis. At the close of the
game the Nuuanus with Captain For

their credit while their rivals the Ha-

Another big thing on which the club
gave an expression was the Honolulu

suggestion made by Paul Super at a

unanimously voted to request that
body to call massmeetiig for the
purpose OF promoting the creation Of
adequate water supply system for Ho-

ordered by last legislature. The idea
Is to have the new control started

(By Federal Wireless Telegraph
NEW YORK, November 25-(Special
to The Advertiser The relative
strength and activity of the stock mar
ket during the morning suggested
break, at least temporarily, in the long
sustained deadlock. The recent stabil.
ity of values, despite disturbed condi-
tons in business and uncertainty over
the Mexican situation, demonstrated
that efforts of the bears had been
futile. That the oversold condition of
the market placed the shorts in vul,
nerable position was shown by the ex-
tent of the upturn.
The rise was most pronounced in the
high class railroad stocks and certain
popular industrials, particularly Steel.
Force was lent to the movement by re-
newal of foreign buying, while trading
was in smaller volume during the last
part of the forenoon values were main
tanned rigidly at the earlier high level,
which showed advances of one to two
points.
Bonds were firm.
Resumption of efforts on the long side
of the market placed some of the big
speculative shares including Union Pa
cifc and Can, beyond their highest
prices of the morning. The general
movement was sluggish and exceedingly
narrow. Thee market closed firm.
