Come Far to Buy Iowa Cattle.

Waterloo, Iowa, March 24.-The
reputation of Iowa as a dairy state
has travelled far. C. NJ. Nelson and
C. NJ. Robinson came here Wednes-
day from Richmond, Utah, to buy
Holstein cattle. 1t is their aim to buy
at least three car loads and if the
high type of animals which they seek
cannot be procured here in sufficient
numbers they will go to Illinois. Both
men secured number of thorough
bred animals here, paying an average
of 1854 each.

Not An Easy Problem.

H. E. o. Heinemann: TO those
who think they possess an easy solu-
ton to a great problem that has caus-
ed many to rack their brains in vain,
the warning, to beware, is extended.
How often when an easy plan to make
"a large amount of money is preached
to you you will find upon close and
thorough investigation that there is
some phase of the problem that you
have not looked for and which makes
the whole plan weak and elusive. OF
all those who seek for the solution of
this matter there are only a few, a
very few, who find the solution. So
it is with the liquor problem, which
is at once sociological, domestic and
religious. There is no easy way out
of it.
So far we must be suspicious and
not jump at conclusions in regard to
the solving of this great question. Let
us carefully examine into the cause
of the desire for drink. When a thing
is not right and goes wrong we ex-
anime it to learn the cause, and aft
er reaching our conclusions we apply
our remedy. The best way to solve
thV iuColiOn 10 ilOl W MISS ana DlOW
it away as a mother does an injury
to her child, but let us find out the
motive and the. cure for it, | believe
that the motive which leads to drink
is one of the best, and not of a low
ly nature, as is the prevailing opin-
ion.
This man when he takes alcohol
ic liquors does not do so from a de-
sire to satisfy his animal nature. but
he wants an enlargement of his con-
scious self, he desires to live the larg-
er life and TO live a life that is a
least bit better and one that is ON a
higher plane, and above the ordinary
cares of life and to reach this plane
he drinks. Now this version of the
drink problem may have a ludicrous
turn to some, but why is it that some
OF the finest, noblest and most learn
ed OF men have gone to the drunk
ards grave. They have experienced
this desire to rise above the common
planes of every day life and by sur
rendering to this desire have sunk to
drunkard's end. In order to solve
this great problem it will not suf-
fee that we remove liquor. The minds
OF men must be trained rightly

PROPOSED INCREASE IN FREIGHT
RATES WILL HIT GRAND JUNCTION
Grande and Midland viii Ask Interstate Commerce Commission
oRestore Rates That Were Cut Recently, TO the Salt
Lake Basis

That the Salt Lake rates, which
were granted to Grand Junction by
the interstate commerce commission
after a twenty years fight on the
part of the chamber OF commerce are
to be increased against the likely
outcome of a meeting OF the Trans
Missouri Tariff Bureau which is
holding meeting in Denver today
Reductions were granted on the
rates from Missouri river points by
the commerce commission under the
authority given them in the long
and short haul amendment to the
railroad law, and Grand Junction
was given the same rates as applied
to Salt Lake and Utah common
points.
Salt Lake City was granted a re-
duction two years ago. and the Grand
Junction rates were based upon the
new rates. The rates for established
for a two years term which expired
November Is, and the Denver & Rio
Grande and other lines have given
notice that they would apply for an
Increase of fifteen per cent in these
rates.
W. b. Kenney, general agent of
the Grande and r. f. Vickery, gem
eral agent OF the Midland stated that
they had not received notice of any
proposed increase In rates from the
Missouri river points. Mr.. Kenney
was of the opinion that If the rates
tc Salt Lake were increased, the
same rates would apply to Grand
Junction points, which takes the
same commodity rates.
There are, however, number OF
rates in Colorado to this city, which
are to be increased, where the rate
is found to be too low and applica-
tion will be made to the commerce
commission for the necessary permis-
sion. One OF the rates upon which
an increase is to be asked Is syrup"
Both the Rio Grande and the Colo
RADIO Midland are represented in the
meeting of freight agents which is
being held today In Denver. If the
railroads decide to ask an increase
immediate application will be made
so that the new rates can become eff
fective at the same time the tariffs
are changed on the roads east of the
Mississippi river. the commission
having already granted permission
for five per cent increase.
Secretary Antics of the chamber
of commerce will present the propos-
ed increase of rates to the Grand
Junction Freight Rate club and II
necessary the help of Expert F. A.
Jones will be secured upon his COM
ing visit to Montrose, to prepare an
effective protest. Secretary Antics

cal Routing Definitely at
Gathering.

w. X. Palmer. chief engineer of
the Albuquerque, Cortez Salt Lake
railway, will be in Grand junction
Friday night to meet representa-
tive body of citizens and discuss the
proposed routing OF his road through

cause OF surveys now in progress. II
agreeable to have representative

Mr.. Palmer refers to extended let
ter In which Mr.. Antics outlined the
advantages OF bringing the railway
In this direction. Data on the pos
sible traffic was furnished and con-
siderable information was sent to
Mr.. Palmer with the idea of inter-
esting him in change in his survey
plans.
Evidently the question of chang
ing the route from by way or MoaD
to by way Of Grand junction has In
terested Mr.. Palmer and his associ-
ates and he will be ready to talk
business at the meeting Friday night
1t is anticipated that Mr.. Palmer
will put up to the Grand Junction
people the amount of money he
wants to be given and what other
concessions he will insist on. The
matter can then be discussed In Z
business-like way
The directors OF the chamber. mem
bers of the Western Slope Manufac-
turers' association. city and county
commissioners and other represents
tive citizens will be invited to meet
with Mr. Palmer probably In the
chamber of commerce rooms. The
result OF this conference will prob
ably have an important bearing on
the future plans of the projected
railroad which many people beliswU
Is financed BY the santa 70 system.

Grand Junction will be the seat OF
4 second United States judicial dis
trict in Colorado. If a bill which has
just been introduced in congress by
Congressman f. T. Taylor becomes a
law.
The new bill, copies of which were
received today provides for dividing
the state into two districts, north
and south, and also provides for
holding term of federal court here
on the second Tuesday in October of
each year.
Grand Junction attorneys who
have received copies of the bill are
a unit in giving it approval, and de-
clare that this city should become
the home of the new court, being
the most central location, and that
influence should be brought to bear
upon Senator Shafroth to secure the
additional appropriation required for
the Grand Junction federal building,
ir order that room may be provided
for the court officials.
Senator Guggenheim, secured the
passage of bill in the senate sew
eral years ago providing for a sec
ond federal judge in Colorado. and
the bill introduced by Congressman
Taylor would meet the approval of
n much larger number of people.
In letter to The Sentinel, Mr..
Taylor says, 1.-The lawyers and
think the business men generally in
the southern and western part of
the state feel that If the state is en-
titled to two U. S. judges that 1t
would be preferable insead of ap-
pointing both of them in Denver and
having, as at present, practically all
the federal business transferred to
Denver, to have the state divided in
to two districts and let us have our
own judge, and provide for more
places for holding federal court. and
thereby, relieve litigants-often the
poor people from the arduous ex-
spense of having to take witnesses
and lawyers hundreds OF miles"
Congressman Taylor writes also
that this is not move to take way
from Montrose, the present term of
court held in that city, as he Is not
in favor of that.
The bill which will be read with
considerable interest follows:
