FARMERS FAIR
NEXT WEEK, BIG
CARNIVAL HERE

Allmann Bros Carnival will ar
rive in town tomorrow and the mem-
bers of the company will enjoy q
rest during Sunday. Commencing
Monday this big show will entertain
the people of Trinidad and those resi-
dents of the county who will be in
the city for the agricultural exhibi-
tion. The exhibition itself does not
begin until Tuesday morning, but
the presence of the carnival here on
Monday will bring many outside peo-
pie to town a day earlier, and this
will insure an even larger attendance
for the more important exhibits Of
the agricultural show.
/ Displays from farmers all over the
county have begun to be arranged,
and 1t is the opinion of those in
charge that the exhibits of this year,
both in variety and excellence will
hold record position in the agricul-
|tural and horticultural annals of the
county. Owing to the superb quality
|of the crops in general throughout
the county the competition among
the farmers promises to be of the

his utmost to secure the various
prizes which have been posted for
excellence in the particular exhibits.
Another strong reason that the ex-
hibition this time will prove to be
the best ever held in Las Animas
county, is the abandonment for the
year 1914 of the annual county fair.
Heretofore, at the county fairs the
exhibits of field products and of the
stock of the county has been in con-
nection only as part of the fair it
self. This year the exhibition is the
whole thing, and it is for this rea-
son that all the energy of those In
charge has been directed toward the
agricultural show itself. This driv-
ing power, behind year of bumper
crops, is what will make the exhibit
ton the success 1t is going to be.
The farmers, in matters of this kind,
are, of course, always enthusiastic,

SURVIVORS OF
STEAMER WRECK
ARE PICKED Up

Austria, Ore, Sept. 19.-Two sur
yiyora of the steam schooner Fran
els H. Leggitt were picked up about
20 miles south Of the Columbia river
mouth, according to wireless mes
sage received here today. The wire
less stated that two sailcrs were
standing by the spot where the
schooer went down last night. The
only sign OF ill-fated vessels was bits
of the wreckage.
The wireless came from the San
Francisco and Portland steamship
companys steamer Beaver. The
Beaver did not mention the names OF
the two vessels which 1t left stand
ing by the scene of the wreck.
Reports last night said the Leggitt
sank about 60 miles south of the Co
lumbia. This conflicts with the
Beavers message that two survivors
had been picked W about 20 miles
south of the Columbia.
The Leggitt carried 81 passengers
and a crew of 25. She sailed from
Portland September IL for Hoquiam.
Washington, to load lumber for Cali
fornia. She left Hoquiam last
Thursday morning.
First news OF the sinking of the
Leggett was received at the tele-
graph hill wireless station last

AND REPLY TO

Proposal

Denver, Colo, sept. lS.-SOioThuo
coal mine owners met here today to
select a delegation to walt upon
President Wilson In Washington next
Wednesday and convey to him the
objections of the operators to certain
features OF the federal truce plan FOR
ending the coal miners strike. 1t
already had announced that the DIFF
ferent companies will make individ-
ual replies to the letter in which the
President urged acceptance OF the
peace proposal by Hywell Davies and
William r. Farley, mediators ap-
pointed by tho secretary Of labor.
The operators will say at the con-
ference, for instance. that one clause
of the truce provides for the rein
statement of all the striking miners
who have not been convicted OF any
crime related to these labor troubles.
They will urge that such provision
is. in many cases, impracticaole be-
tau-e. on account OF the effect OF the
war upon the steel industry, the
mines will not be worked this year to
the extent that they were worked
last year. The fact OF this decreased
production will make 1t impossible
to employ the full average of men,
and. therefore. the complete accept
ance of this reinstatement clause
would compel the operators to dis
charge many employees not concerned
In the strike to give work to those
who were.
But the operators admit that the
very character of the difficulties per-
ceived by them in the Presidents g
proposals are an indication Of its
general acceptability and they are
hopeful Of being able to announce
at the termination of Wednesdays .

Incidental to ths- character OF this
statement, issued In behalf Of the o2-
orators today, there Is the implied
assurance that there wilt be no short
age of coal this winter and no eco
nomic reason for increasing the price
TO the consumer. The decrease In the
iron and steel output. consequent up
on the European war. may shut down
some few mines In Colorado and
throw the products of others onto
the domestic markets, and. with the
strike settled. the output OF coal In
both the northern and southern
fields will be fully adequate for all
demands.

operators today. I'VE are not op-

BILL

Washington, Sept. l9.-The day
and night fight on the river and har-
Dor bill in the senate showed signs
the filibustering Republicans. when
1t became known that President Will
son favored abandoning the bill and
substituting new resolution to ap-
propriate $12.0OO,O0O to $4,000, 900
to continue only those projects un-
der way. The original bill proposed
$4,000, 900. Officials said the Presi-
dent believed the bill should be
abandoned In its present form be-
cause government revenues, already
falling because Of the war, must be
supplemented by war tax. The
economy measure will extend all
along the line, even the increases in
salaries to officials will be aban-
doned.

RAILROADS ASK
RELIEF ADVANCE IN
FREIGHT. Rates

Washington. Sept. 19.-The inter-
state commerce commission today
decided to reopen the eastern ad-
vance rate case and will begin hear
ings here on October 10. A formal
order to that effect was prepared.
/ The Ascision of. thA crssmercs >ooua-
|miasion son the recent application Of
the railroads which was made after
President Wilson had received a rep
resentative committee Of railroad
presidents at the White House.
How far that conference may have
gone toward preparing the way for
"a re-opentng of the vase is not
known. 1t was at the time that the
railway men asked the president to
appeal to the contrary to treat the
railroads in a spirit of cooperation
and the president responded by send
ing a sympathetic letter to Chairman
Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake
& Ohio.
The railroads also asked the COM
mission to modify its recent decis-
ion which granted increases west of
Pittsburg and denied all increased
between the Great Lakes and the At
lantic seaboard. Under the law the
commission can modify that order
without hearings.
The decisions to reopen the case
brings the whole question up again
for review in which the railroads
will press for the increase through
out the country
Western railroads already are pre-
pairing applications for increases In
freight rates 80 that when the COM
mission begins the rehearing 1t will
have substantially before it applica-
tions for increased freight rates
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The eastern railroads asked for a
re-opening not upon the showing
they made at the hearings prior to
the decision but upon conditions
which the managers say have become
apparent since. The showing Of the
roads for June, which was not avail
able when the case was before the
commission last time and the exigen-
cies which have been thrust upon
them by the European war was with
the attendant difficulties of getting
new capital and the FALLING off In
export traffic were cited as the prin-
cipal reasons why the case should be
re-opened.
Shippers organizations Whlcn
previously fought the increases have
given notice that they will oppose
further advance. They will be rep
resented by counsel and will have to
oppose new increases as they did be-
fore. In some cases the railroads
ask for identically that which was
denied. Although described as five
per cent advances the commission &
recent decision declared some of them
range as high as 30 per cent. The
principal heavy commodities west OF
Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Charleston
such as coal and coke, which consti-
tute more than half of the total
traffic of the railroads. will be ef-
fected.

Campaign in East Unchanged Germans Claim
Victory Ooer Russian Army But Austria
Suffers Crushing Blow in Fighting of Last
Days. News From War Zone Bottled Up.
Both Sides Claim Success.

A report from German army
headquarters made public in
Berlin today, announces German
and Austrian success in all the
theatres of war.
In France it is declared a de-
cisive attack is being made
north of Noyon. Beaumont has
been stormed and $500 French
have been captured, while coun-
ter attacks of the allies along
the entire front have been re-
pulsed easily.
In the east the Germans con-
tinue their advance against the
Russians and the Servians have
been routed by the Austrians, it
it is said.
Unofficial advices from the
German capital say that men,
bers of the general staff mani
fest implicit confidence in a fa-
vorable outcome of the fighting
in France. Their armies are be-
ing reinforced and lines of COM
munication reformed, it is stat
ed.
Dispatches from Vienna re-
port officially that the Austrians
and Germans in Galicia have
formed a new defense line and
are awaiting q Russian attack
on the strong fortress of Pre-
mysl, fifty miles west of Lem
berg.
News dispatches from London
reflect the popular belief that
: The 0ermaM line In FfaMoe has
been reinforced and that the re-
ported shortage Of ammunition
and supplies had been met.
An official statement issued
in Paris at 2:45 p. m. says that
the Germans are strongly en-
trenching on the river Aisne and
have been reinforced from Lor-
raine.
News dispatches from Paris
report a continued optimism
there and at Bordeaux. Many
who deserted Paris upon the ap-
proach of the Germans are re-
turning to that city.
News dispatches represent
London as regarding the present
battle as the supreme con-
flict of the campaign in France.
Some observers estimate that the
total casualties of the Germans
and allies to date are in the
neighborhood of 10000.
It is officially announced
from Toxic that japanese troops
were landed yesterday at Lao
sham Bay. Laosham is neutral
territory 40 miles north Of Using
Tau.
Both the British and the

French realize that it will take
almost a superhuman effort to
win, the strength of the German
positions being emphasized is
almost equal along the front.
The Londoners closely follow
ing the war base their chief
faith in the allies in a series of
envelopements of the German
right wing under Won Kluck,
who heretofore has shown him
self a master of strategy. Re-
newed activity on the part Of the
allies cavalry and a significant
movement of allied troops to the
north and west of the German
line of communication together
with a possible advance of fresh
allied troops from the north
west through Amiens, gives ex-
preston to the hopes.
Eye witnesses and the sur.
geons testify to a paradox on the
modern battlefield-recurring
frequently of hand to hand fight
ing, while 30 many military men
predicted it as a thing Of the
past. Bayonets and other evi-
dence have shown that the enc
mics have been engaged in a
death grapple in which they re-
sorted to their side arms and in
some cases to their hands.

ity with which the Germans
throw forward man after man

tempt to carry . position. The
tremendous losses they have SUI
fered seems not to have changed
these tactics.
Dispatches received from Pa
ris late last night referring to a
lull in the struggle are taken
here to refer to the artillery
only and today may see the most
sanguinary infantry fighting
since the start of the battle of
the Aisne one week ago.
Burial of the dead on the
battlefield goes on steadily.
German prisoners are being
forced to perform this task be-
hind the allies line, where
thousands Of their comrades lay
after the French and British ad-
vance.
News from the eastern theatre
continues to be the same, that
of reports of overwhelming VIC
tories against the Austrians in
Galicia and of the stubborn
pressure on the Russian frontier
to the north where the Russians,
however. appear to be holding
their own.

1t is quite as important that the lit

dividuality as it is for her grownup
sisters. Whereas the designs for chill
dren are unusually simple this season,
it is not difficult to add such touch.
In No. SO2G we have a straight lined
little frock showing a long wasted
blouse, and skirt attached to sep
arate, sleeveless under waist. The
sleeve is set into a .,normal shoulder.
There is small round collar and low
hung stitched belt. The skirt. which
is tWo-piece model, is rendered very
effective by the side seams, which are
cut to give a narrow slash on both
sides. This design is suitable for any
of the wash materials: for the present
moment. dark blue serge would be
pleasing. with collar. belt and trim
ming bands Of silk plaid. 1t is quite
necessary that a dark frock show a
touch Of vivid color, especially at this
