In the American the standing was:

Baseball statisticians are at odds as to
whether the 10000 attendance at the
Labor day afternoon game at Boston be-
tween the New York and Boston National
League Clubs was a record gathering.
The Major League clubs do not issue the
official attendance figures but it was gem
orally estimated that the attendance at.
the forenoon game was approximately
$4,000 and the afternoon game 10000.
There is no question but what the total
of $4,000 was a new record for a single
days attendance.
There is some disputation regarding the
1900 being a single game record, how
ever, and official figures are not avail
able, to settle the controversy. The at
tendance figures at the worlds series are
official and these show that the greatest
crowd that ever witnessed single World
Series game, gathered for the first New
philadelphia game of the 1911 series
at the Polo grounds when IS. Isl paid ad-
mission. The largest gathering at Fem
way Park during the New York-Boston
series of 1912 was at the fourth game
when 80, 602 dropped coupons in the ticket
boxes.
Stringent ground rules prevail In the
World Series, however, and several
thousand extra spectators can easily be
cared for in either Fenway Park or the
Polo grounds when fans are permitted
upon certain parts of the outfields 1t was
claimed that fully 10000 spectators wit
messed the famous play-off game between
the New York Giants and the Chicago
Cubs at the Polo grounds on October s.
1908, when the Cubs by winning from the
Giants captured the National League
pennant. The gate receipts did not show
such attendance figures but some thous-
ands gained free admittance by batter
ing down the fences and forcing their way
en- mass through the entrances despite the
efforts of the police to hold the fans in
check.

STAND TO LOSE
CHEESE FACTORY

The article in Sundays Denver
News, stating that arrangements
had been made for the establish
ment of a cheese factory in Monte
Vista, is untrue.
Although a good many have sig
nified desire to have the factory
located here, the signing up Of the
farmers for the required number
of COWS has not been secured, and
unless a little earnest effort 10
made, the factory will go else
where.
The little place of Fowler 10
anxious to secure the factory and
the farmers have actually con-
tracted to milk 1000 cows if the
factory is erected there.
In Kansas the price of butter
fat has gone down to % cents.
The farmers of this valley are
guaranteed a price of 35 cents by
Edmunds & Young on their cheese
factory proposition.
Speakers at the Hog Roast"
Tuesday paid particular attention
to the desirability of having a
monthly payday for the farmer,
and suggested the value of dairy
ing in that connection. Without
question, the erection of cheese
factory in Monte Vista would be a
great benefit to the business men
and the farmers, and the people
should never rest until it is &C.
cured.

CONTROL OF
CORPORATIONS

Great interest was manifested
today in the announcement by
President Field of the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
that he is in hearty accord with
the plan for the control of the COM
pany he represents by State Utili-
ties Commissions elected by the
people. The company, which oper-
ates in the seven mountain states,
is one of the biggest public serv-
ing corporations in the country,
and this announcement, coming as
it does, in the midst of public dis
trust of all corporations, shows a
broad, far sighted policy that is
doing much toward bringing about
u spirit of confidence in the COM
pany and it's operations.
The annual report to the three
thousand stockholders gives the
company's balance sheet and shows
the growth of the telephone bust
ness in the territory. 1t contains
much of public interest and shows
the healthy condition of the COM
pany and its affairs.
For some months The Mountain
States Company has been telling
the story of it's operations, in adj
vertisements and in letters to its
subscribers, and the confirmation
of these statements by this report
is doing much to create confidence.

Berlin, Dec. IA correspondent
with the German army at the front
in France reports that of all the
sights in that section of the front
the most impressive are the countless
stacks of unthreshed grain stretch
ing for miles over northern France.
The Germans have more than one
hundred threshing machines working
en- this grain. Six more threshing
machines are advancing toward the
front, having been sent this week.
Not only is the army living on this
grain. but it is actually sending flour
back to Germany.
The German soldiers at the front
are smiling and well, having one more
meal than in peace times. The lean
hounds seen after the dash on Paris
are now rounding into portly GerI
mans. The soldiers at the front DO
moi sing as much as formerly, prob
ably because the enemy is so near,
and singing draws fire. Near the
Aisne stone quarries. horses, supplies
and hospitals are found in hillside
caverns, living cave dwellers' lives
but protected completely by a fifty
feet thick stone roof from the most
powerful shells. The Germans have
planted many winter crops near the
trenches.
