In the village church during the
morning service the organist was an
noyed because the organ-blower kept
working the lever noisily after he had
finished playing. A famous preacher
had come down from London to
preach. The organist scribbled a
note to the blower. and sent it round
by a choir boy. who, misunderstand-
ing his instructions, put it into the
hands of the preacher. The note was
as follows: Perhaps you will kindly

State Commission viii Inspect Road.

Denver.-The State Railroad Com
mission has decided to make examina
ton of the damage done by washouts
in Phantom canon on the Florence &
Cripple Creek railroad, which the road
claims will not be rebuilt to afford
Florence shippers short route facili-
ties for their products. A hearing of
the claims made by the Chamber of
Commerce of Canon City and tho
Caflon City & Cripple Creek railroad
has just been completed. Sufficient
evidence was presented by the cham
ber to lead the commission to refuse
a motion to dismiss the case, and the
roads were ordered to present their
defense in Denver. December 15.
Meanwhile engineers will make compu-
tations of the cost necessary to
rebuild three or four miles of track
washed out in Phantom canon, and
the commission will go to the canon
and make a personal examination.
Since the abandonment of the service
from Florence and Canon City to Grip
pie Creek several industries in the
Florence district have been forced out
of business. Fruit shippers at Flor
ence are forced to ship around by the
way of Pueblo to reach the Cripple
Crek district.

Ammons Returns from Inspection.

Denver. - Governor Ammons re-
turned from a three-day trip of inspec-
tion of conditions in the southern coal
fields. The governor said he would
have to take time to consider the re
suit of his journey before he could
make any definite statement. The
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company issued
a copy of the payroll of the Rouse
mine In Huerfano county for August.
The wages paid at this mine are said
to be no higher than those paid at
other mines in the state. Eleven OF
the men earned between 800 and s11O
month, while thirteen made be-
tween S11O and S120 month. The
figures show that nine earned be-
tween $3.50 and s160, five earned be
tween $lG0 and $40, and two men
made more than s170 during the
month The average daily wage for
all the miners was SAL. while seven
