Telephone COnnec-
ton With Clifton

Receiver Evans is in receipt
of a letter from r. E. Pilland of
Deming, the district manager of
the Mountain States Co., assur-
ing him that contracts are being
prepared along the lines agreed
on between the two companies,
and as soon as the necessary
work can be done, Duncan will
have connection with the out
side world. The line from Dun
san to York will be repaired as
rapidly as possible when connec-
ton will be made. Later it is
expected a line will be built to
Lordsburg. The Clifton connec-
ton will also give an outlet to
lower valley points and in a
round about way to all outside
points.

Large Areas of Public Land
Reopened for Entery

Three quarters of a million
acres Of public lands were re-
stored to entery last month.
These restorations were based
upon recommendations made by
the United States Geological
Survey as a result of it's classifi-
cation work in the Western
States. The only area withdrawn
was one of 235 acres in Califor-
MIA, temporarily reserved from
entery because of it's possibilities
for developing water power.
The largest restoration was in
Montana, where 525, TAT acres
were restored to public entery
as the result of coal classical
tions completed. In addition to
this, restoration of coal land
involving 214,7 742 acres were
made in Colorado, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Utah, and Wyom-
ing. In California, Idaho, Or
egon, and Washington, 1924
acres heretofore reserved for
water power were restored, ex-
animation having indicated that
they are not valuable for the
purpose for which they were
withdrawn.
About 83, 800, 900 acres of land
have been classified as to their
coal content; 81, 484, O32 acres
have been classified as noncoal
land and less than 10000, 900
acres have been classed as coal
land and values of over $760. 000-
900 placed upon them in accord
ance with the provision of the
coal-land law and the Depart
ment regulations, The remainder
has been restored without classi-
fication.
The Survey has also classified
as nonirrigable and designated
for entery under the enlarged
ed homestead acts more than
200. 900. 600 acres of lands in those
Western States to which the 320
acre homestead principle has
been extended by Congress.

National Game Law
To go Into Effect

One of the most sweeping and
far-reaching national game laws
ever enacted will go into effect
on Wednesday of next week and
the government has sent copies
of the Weeks-McLean migratory
bird law to all parts of the coun-
try so as to give the authorities
and the hunters throughout the
country q chance to become ac-
quainted with the provisions of
the law.
The law fixes the season for
shooting migratory birds and al
so divides the country into two
zones, a northern and a southern,
| in order that the birds may be
protected to the fullest extent.
Twenty-Five states are in the
northern zone, while the south
ern zone comprises the remain
ing % states. The shooting
season for the two zones varies
according to the classification of
the four classes of migratory
birds.
Spring shooting Is absolutely
prohibited, as is the shooting of
migratory birds between sunrise
and sunset. In most cases three
months of open shooting for
water fowl are allowed, and in
no case will there be less than
80 days, when birds may be
shot during the period of their
geatest abundance.

STUDY PLANS FOR
NEWANT|-PASSB|LL

The elimination of the pass evil
in such manner that the restrictions
placed on pass holders will not be on
erous to carriers. is the object OF
many members of the nineteenth
general assembly, says the Denver
Republican. A conference between
the local heads of railroads and
number of legislators. concerning an
ideal anti-pass law has been in prog
ress for several days.
The railroad men have agreed that
in their estimation the best measure
that could be passed would be the
prohibition of posses on common car
riers except to certain designated per-
sons. Opposition to this measure is
expected from office holders who
have been accustomed to receive free
transportation over the railroads, or
who feel that their positions are such
as entitle them to free rides
II is the opinion of the railroad
officials that the state should pay
the fares of the state office holders.
Under the Interstate commerce act
several exceptions are made from
the prohibition against the issuance
of passes. The list of exceptions
reads as follows:
Employees and their families. Off
GERS, agents, surgeons ana PHYSICIANS
and attorneys at law; to ministers of
religion, travelling secretaries of rail
road Young Mems Christian associa-
tions, inmates of hospitals and char
table institutions; to INDECENT. des-
titute and homeless persons: to in
mates of the national or state SOL
dierSi and sailors homes for disabled
volunteer soldiers and sailors; to nee
essary caretakers of livestock, poul-
try, milk, vegetables; to employees on
sleeping cars, employees of telegraph
and telephone companies; to federal
officers: to witnesses attending anf
legal investigation in which the COM
mon carrier is Interested; to persons
injured in wrecks and physicians and
nurses attending such persons
Provided that this provision shall
not be construed to prohibit the in
terchange of passes for the officers,
agents and employees of common car
riers and their families nor to pre-
vent any common carrier from carry
ing passengers free with the object
of providing relief in cases of gen
calimitous visitation.
Any common carrier violating this
provision shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and for each offense on
conviction shall pay to the United
States penalty of not less than 800
or more than $4,000. and any person
other than the persons excepted in
this provision who uses such inter-
state free ticket shall be subject to
like penalty"

GIANT ENGINES
ARE ARRIVING

The huge new Mikado engines, re-
comfy purchased by the Rio Grande,
are arriving in the city. The first
two arrived at 1890 last night-No,
l2O2 and No. 1908. They are the
largest engines, other than the NAL
let type. ever seen in the city. They
weigh 140 tons on the drivers. or
2S0,O00 pounds. The tender, loaded
with coal and water, weighs 900
pounds, making grand total of 223
tons ready for the road. The en-
gines are 12-wheelers. having four
drive wheels. one pony truck and
trailer on each side. They are the
very latest in every way and so huge
that they completely overshadow any
thing that has ever been in the local
roundhouse.
An admiring crowd of railroad
men viewed the big locomotives to-
day, and many are of the belief that
they will prove wonders of motive
power They work under 200
pound steam pressure and the cab
arrangements are different from any
other engines seen here.
Engines 1900 and 1901 are be-
tween this city and Minturn. and
should arrive today.

FIGHT To LOWER FREIGHT RATES
BEGINS HERE TOMORROW NIGHT
Powerful Committee viii Be Ap-
pointed TO Demand Proper
Tariff Adjustments.

An executive committee which will
have full power to confer and deal
with the railroads in an effort to Sc
cure reductions on fruit rates out of
the western slope to eastern markets
will be appointed tomorrow evening
when the Western Colorado Traffic
association is organized. Probably
twenty delegates from outside Grand
Junction will meet here at the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms and will
probably form a new organization to
take the place of the temporary body
recently formed at Palisade.
This executive committee, il una
BILE to deal favorably with the car
riers. is to be empowered to take the
cases before the state railroad COM
mission and demand adjustments as
needed. Later on 1t is quite likely
that the interstate commerce COM
mission will be called upon to medi-
tate with the railroads should they
refuse to grant what the shippers of
fruit are asking.
Palisade expects to send down
probably ten delegates, while the
Montrose. Delta. North Fork and
Garfield sections will be well repre-
sented as will Fruita. Clifton and De
Beque.

WON'T HURT
MERCHANTS

The theory that the parcels post
system will work to encourage
mail order business with Chicago
and Denver houses as against DO
cal merchants is not agreed
to by NJ. IL. Loeffler. the local
clothing dealer. MIR. Loeffler,
who has been studying the parcels
post and its effect on the mercan-
tile situation. thinks that the new
scheme will prove of inestimable
benefit to the Grand Junction mer-
chants by making low rate of
transportation for packages inside
the local zone which has a 50-mile
radius from Grand Junction.
Grand valley people do not
trade to any appreciable extent
with the Chicago houses. They
know that clothing. for instance.
rs sold closer in Grand Junction
than almost anywhere else and
tnat they cannot make anything
by doing a mail order business.
Practically all the people in the
fruit growing districts are believ-
ers in home patronage and prac-
tiee it religiously."
Il believe. Mr.. Loeffler con-
tinued. that 1t will act as val
liable ally to local dealers in get
ting more trade from the county
districts penetrated by the rural
routes"
