representatives in the national con
gress the need for the passage Of the
Kern bill. which provides for the erec'
ton OF ten experimental and fifteen

Delta members Of the Delta-Mont-
rose freight rate association. ]. f.
Hillman, E. J. Mathews and Geo. :.
Conklin. arrived home last Friday even
ing from Colorado Springs where they
had attended two freight rate hearings
before A. G. Gutheim, special examiner
for the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion during the two first days of the
week and then went on to Denver to
take in the Elks' national convention.
Montrose members Of the association
and large delegation of fruit grow
ers and shippers of that district also
were at the hearings and the Delta
members state that there was much
general interest in the case on the part
of shippers from all parts of the state.
The decision which the commission
makes. those interested say. will do
much to settle the freight rates of
nesses were introduced during the
hearing. but their testimony consisted
principally of the introduction of the
freight traffic now charged. and state
ments as to their effect upon such
shippers. The principal evidence in
the case remains to be introduced.
and will be brought up when the hear
ing is resumed in Glenwood Springs on
August "a. Then the plaintiffs will
complete their introduction of evi'
dence, and witnesses for the railroad
will be put on the stand,
The Importance of their suit TO the
shippers is shown by their further al
legations that the prevailing rates
charged by the railroads are SO exces
sive as to menace the stability of many
lines of business and industry in ives
tern Colorado. They claim that the
maintenance of these freight rates is
accounted for in part by the alleged
excessive and in a large degree the
fictitious, as they charge. capitaliza
ton of part OF the railroad companies
involved. They allege further that
there is no scientific basis OF method
employed in the making Of many OF
these rates, but that on the contrary
the policy Of the Denver a Rio Grande
railroad and some others ia to charge
all the traffic will bear"

The little four-year-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John wacks. a German
family residing a few miles out on
California mesa, fell into the spokes

she and one or more other members OF
the family were riding last Saturday
afternoon and before the team could
be stopped the child's right leg was
terribly wrenched and twisted and the
bone badly fractured near the knee
joint.
The little victim of this horrible
accident was hurried to town where
medical and surgical attention was en-
listed but there was little or no hope
it seems for saving her life. The in
jured leg was amputated just above
the knee in Delta hospital MONDAY eh-
ening and death came little later.

soeiability Run Lacking Interest.

What was the matter with the so
ciabiiity run over the Rainbow Route
from Grand Junction to Pueblo? II
was supposed to advertise this great
road reported as and we believe now
actually TO be the finest route through
the mountains to California Salida
people expected seventy-five automo-
biles from Grand Junction, Delta, Mon
trose and Gunnison. There were five
arrived in struggling fashion. This
isn't the way to handle vital public
enterprise. With what particular COM
mittee on arrangement is the lack OF
interest chargeable, or shall we indict
the whole community of Western
Slope autosists, who failed 10 rise TO
the opportunity of making O grand
stand play that would be talked OF in

"As dawn appeared a farm wagon

Timely Su88es-
tons to Shippers

The Fruit Distributor, a marketing
paper published in Oregon, under the
head of Warning" makes the follow
ing suggestion as to how the pro-
ducer can help in the matter Of pre-
venting a car shortage, which is well
worth the consideration of shippers.
The heavy fruit movement is upon
US. The railroads claim that they
have plenty of cars if they are prop
erly used, but they can not do the i'm
possible-they need the cooperation
of eyery shipper in the Northwest.
Please 90 your part in preventing a
car Shortage. BY observing the fol
lowing suggestions, you will help
yourself, your neighbors and the car
riers:
/ Consult your local agent freely
in regard to your car requirements.
2. Estimate your crop carefully
and do not order more than you need
3. Figure your dates of shipment
carefully, so you will not have to hold
empty cars on your loading track.
T. Load promptly when cars are
spotted for that purpose, and to full
capacity.
5. Do not hold cars at gateways
and diversion points longer than is
necessary.
And above all. work closely with
the re ilroads. and they will do theil
part, II you do yours.
