Speaking Of the terminal difficult
ties Of the Colorado Midland Rail-
way, the last issue OF the New Castle
Democrat says:
1.-The Democrat is rather skeptical
regarding the building of the new
road to Colbran. Everyone knows
that the Colorado Midland is not In r
financial position to build more road.
They would do we'll to keep what
they already have. A more plausible
outcome, III case the Midland is shut
off here. is that larger capital will
take hold and extend the road to
Meeker and then on to Salt Lake.
Not only will it open up valley as
rich In natural resources as the
Plateau country. but one many times
larger. Then, after it has reached
Salt Lake, it will have its terminus
In a large city and not in an ordinary
sized town In the lower valley of the
Grand, rs would be the case II it
were to follow out the first reports"

Those Dire Predictions

1.-THE sugar factory will close an
the beet sugar industry will ~
killed" was the slogan used in tht4
city and throughout western Colo
RADIO by the sugar company and the
other high tariff advocates, including
a local newspaper, when every eifOel|
was being made by these high tariff
people in this section to get l0ca
people to protest against tarin ~
ductiOn. ii
The Sentinel was denounced fof
standing by the Democratic tarik
program. Not only were we de-
nounced, but more substantial
methods were employed to make az
be good, all the patronage of the
sugar company being withdrawn
from us.
The Sentinel commended all along
that the sugar factory would not b.
closed, and that the sugar beet In
dustry would not be killed.
We expected to have our conten-
ton proven correct, but we did not
expect 1t to come SO soon. It's here
already.
r. P. Davie announces that thu
Grand Junction factory will continue
to operate; that they expect to have
the largest acreage In 1914 that the
company has ever had, and that NOT
only will this factory continue to run
but great new factory will b.
erected in Delta.
Does this look like the sugar
factory will close and the sugar beet
industry dieT'
We didn't blame the sugar mill
owners throughot the state for using
these gloomy predictions in . vain
effort to keep the tariff up, but We
are glad that their dire predictions
are falling to pieces so early.-Grand

Editor Dickson, that the agitation

The Post and Pearce

The most disgusting and damnable
effort Of a newspaper to attack man
whom it has been trying ITO get" for
several years, that has come to notice
lately is the effort of the Denver Post
to start recall on Secretary Of State
Pearce over the Alamosa county
referendum petition matter.
Secretary Pearce Is blameless In
this matter. He has done and ia
doing all In his power to run to
ground the man who forged the
signatures, but the Post sees in the
matter chance to attack Pearce.
1t will be remembered that the
Post stopped to all kinds of dirty
methods to defeat Pesrce for re-
election last year, and turned its mud
batteries on him In terrific manner,
but Pearce won out, and 1t was the
worst defeat the Post ever expert
enced-it found there was one man
1t couldn't get"
Evidently that defeat didn't prove
sufficient lesson to the Post. and
now 1t Ia counting another licking.
1t will get 1t, too.-Grand Junction

AIMING LAW
 IN SIBERIA
RUSSIAN LAsoRER MUST TAKE OUT LESS THAN YARD 4 DAY.

According to the Russian mine lab or law "a Russian subject must not be let take out more than :wo-liftas of a yard of dirt each day in under ground diggings. ~ Citizens of other countries can work themselves to death of they choose and the result Is obvious. There in another section to the law which pro- vides that ten per cent of -he em- ployes in a mine must be Russians. c. W. Burlington. the eminent en- gineer who came here last summer to examine the Pioneer properties. spoke of the matter from personal knowl- edge and most of the facts mentioned came through him.
 One remarkable result of such a law Is that mine operators hire one Russian for every ten men belonging to other nationalities and often pay the Russians their miserable wage to keep away from the mines while Chinamen or some others are put in to do the work.
 Much trouble is created by hiring lots of Chinamen as operators often go to the length of smuggling them into the country. The wages paid the Russian even Is miserably small.

NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 17, 1913

Another matter which the people of Nome should take up as a body is the suspension, at least, of the rail- road mileage tax law. The habit of some people sneering at the efforts of others to right such things should not be listened to. Too often men are prevented from taking up public duties by the fear of the sneering suggestions that their only object is to secure notoriety. For this reason public bodies very often fall to pieces and a community is left without an organized voice.
 Here in Nome the repeal of that mileage law would exert a sure and beneficial influence.
 If the Seward Peninsula railroad be able to run next summer 1t would mean the greatest possible aid to the whole section. Surely Nome people are not taking care of heir own in terests when they fail to strive for this laws removal.

Valdez is before us with demand that Fairbanks declare itself against mail being sent here in winter by any route other than that from Valdez, and threatens to allow Thompson Pass to remain showed in forever and n day if Fairbanks doee not imme- diately declare for Valdez and against Cordova and the Copper River rail- way. It is a long. sad story. Is the Valdez narration of the trouble and expense they have been to in the of. fort to take away from Cordova and the railway the mail carrying privi- lege. and they cite the transaction as an obligation they have placed us under, rather than one which they undertook without consulting Fair banks.
 Valdez must understand that Fair banks is not interested in the rise or fall of any particular town on the coast. We are after our mail by the quickest and best route. which is by way of Cordova when the trains are running, and by way of Valdez when the railroad is showed in. We arc ready to put in with the winner in any condition of trail which may arise. but We are not ready to tic to either Valdez or Cordova in season and out of season.
 Valdez undertook the winter trail stage line mail route this winter as an investment. by which it hoped to take business away from Cordova and perpetuate it's own prosperity. While the railway was closed. Valdez got the travel and the business. When the railway is opened the railway will take the mail and the passengers. Valdez played to win. and if 1t loses it is Valdez .Lluck.-If- the profit ob- tained from the fight is not equal to the expense of the campaign. Fair banks has no call to step in and stand the loss.-Fairbanks NewS- Miner.

the administration that railroads and mine opening would mean not onl, the success of the territory az 8 whole but also the success of the many in dividua>s who have given the best years of their lives to working a, ruinous disadvantage to save theii properties from passing out of thei, hands. .lr- g. .,.
 Matters like those involved in the Frost cases which are now. proceed ing at Chicago have hurt Alaska. Whether 1t Is 0 fact or not that Frost and people like him made dummy or other sorts of fraudulent entries to hold claims in Alaska 1t ia certain that a very strong suspicion hes been created all over the country that everything was not accomplished in an unquestionably open manner. Sev- eral of the claimants. no doubt, com. piled with all the legal requirements and acquired their grounds honestly but they have been compelled to suf- fer because of the doubt created in the minds of the administration and congress.
 There certainly seems to have been enough shown to prove that some claims were not bona flde. They may have not been many but upon the false claims must rest the responsi- bility for tieing up the claims which were properly made and for prevent ing the opening of the coal lands by private capital.
 However, the delay in granting pat ents to coal lands may not be an un- mixed evil. It might really have been worse were patents granted for great valuable tracts of land to people who had no right whatever to them and who might have used them in a man ner that would prevent the people as whole from reaping any benefits But this danger has passed now and the new administration should be continuously reminded that the lands are still lying idle and that their opening would soon remove the re- proach entailed in the report of the decrease in the territory's population

consent to make certain change
which would serve to make what was
regarded a better route.
The contract has been let for the
route referred to but in face of the no.
tice given the commissioners state
they will have to cease operations
when the corporate line is reached.
The effect of this enforced cessation
of operations will be to make the work
done on the route mentioned of but
little value, but it will not prevent the
commission from finding ample use
for the money that would have been
expended on the proposed line within
the corporate limits, since there are

Washington, Aug. 16.-The Huerta
government through conferences in
Mexico City between John Lind and
Foreign Minister Gamboa now knows
the view point of the United States
and its desire for only a peaceful and
friendly solution of Mexico's trouble.
The formal communication Mr.. Lind
bears will not be handed to Mexico be-
fore Monday at least, when it also
will be transmitted to diplomatic -,
.csentatives of foreign powers in
Washington.
What the result of publishing these
views will be, officials here do not ven
ture to predict. They have no assur-
ance that the Huerta government will
accept them but they believe the spirit
thus far shown by the Huerta officials
justifies hopeful feeling for the sue
cess of Mr., Linds mission.
Observers of the situation generally
look for pronouncement of some kind
from Huerta Immediately following the
presentation of President Wilson's
message through Mr.. Lind. 1t is ex-
pected in diplomatic circles that pres
ident Huerta will formally announce
call for an early election even setting
the date.
Constitutionalists hitherto have
claimed they would not engage in any
election in which the Huerta govern
ment exercised control over the cleo
ton machinery. The possibility of an
agreement, however, is being discuss
ed.
Information, however. of only the.
vaguest character has been forthcom-
ing from officials as to the eventuali-
ties that would follow a possible rejec-
tion of President Wilson's idea by the
Huerta government There is no in
tention at present of lifting the embar-
go on arms, in fact the President is
said to have taken a strong position
against it, at least until all peaceful
means of settlement have been ex-
hausted.
There is confident and conspicuous
feeling of optimism. however, among
administration officials that peaceful
settlement is in sight. though they ad-
NIT the delicacy of the situation for
bids any detailed discussion at this
time.
