|NTERURBAN
TO INCREASE
ITS SERVICE
President SundeTIin Announces
Good News For Fruita and
Grand Junction People.
NO CHANGE IN ELECTRIC RATES

Il. A. Sunderlin. president of the
Grand Junction and Grand River
Valley Railway company, signalized
his arrival here last night from Colo
rado Springs by an announcement
that the interurban service between
Grand Junction and Fruita will be
improved at an early date, and prob
ably the old schedule will be resum-
ed before the beginning of summer
The statement by Mr.. Sunderlin
is of especial importance at this time.
because of the reports which have
been circulated within the past week
that the interurban service was to
be discontinued. Where the reports
originated. is not known, but Mr..
Sunderlin emphatically denied the
rumors and said that as soon as he
could go over the situation with Man
ager S. NJ. L. McSpadden an increase
in the service between this city and
Fruita would be announced.
President Sunderlin stated that no
further changes would be made in
the rates for electricity, and also
announced that no arrangement had
been made for the financing of the
interurban system. Money condi-
tions have been such in the east.
that thc poiuHolutiS committee pt-
lieves it advisable to continue the
operation OF the road under its pre-
sent arrangement.
Mr.. Sunderlin stopped off at Glen
wood and motored to silt. where he
has extensive orchard interests.
The road between Glenwood and
Silt, built by the conyicts is in splen-
did shape said Mr.. Sunderlin. 1T
should be continued on down through
the rrand Valley, and numbers of
tourists who spend the summer in
Glenwood would make the trip in
automobiles. Colorado has the re-
sources and the climate. and it needs
the roads to place 1t on par with
California and attract the monied
members of the leisure class to the
state"

RAILROADS MAKE
FINAL PLEA FOR
HIGHER FRE|GHTS
President Of Pennsylvania Says
RetrenChment Must Come
Unless Request Granted.
Associated Press.

Washington, April President
Rea, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
the last witness heard before the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
behalf of the eastern railroads who
are asking an increase in freight
rates. Before Rea took the stand, ].
T. Willis, general superintendent of
motive power of the Pennsylvania
explained that steel cars heavier
than locomotives and higher wages
had made an increase in expenses. j. b.
s. Rodgers, general superintendent
OF the Pennsylvania gave similar tes-
timony. Rea said that the Pennsyl-
yania as all other American railroads,
is confronted with the necessity of
retrenchment. which might prove
serious unless they We're permitted
to increase the net incomes OF the
roads He declared that unless the
gap between the receipts and expen-
ditures can be widened, we must be-
gin to retrench, and retrenchment
must begin on betterments and I'M
provements not directly necessary to
the movement of trains. We are
sure that this would not be to the
public's interest and we don't believe
the public desires it.
Rea's conclusions. in which he said
applied concretely to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and which also opplied
generally to all other roads were;
The margin of their surplus is now
steadily diminishing and the company
Is not receiving any return either on
additional capital invested or for
the value of service rendered and
the facilities provided for public use.
There had been no surplus in earlier
years and had the improvements
been paid out of the capital, the mar
gin would have, by now. reached the
vanishing point. II the surplus de-
creased. the improvements, If made
would be more and more out of the
new capital. If the margin of safe
ty decreases. new capital could only
be raised with greater difficulty and
on more onerous terms. 1t is ques-
itnoable whether, If. new capital is
to continue to earn no income, that
the directors would be justified in
attempting to raise more than a
modicum of what is needed. as the
effect must be to reduce the per-
centage on tho shareholders capital
already invested"

Application wa made before
Judge Cayender this morning for the
release of George Watkins. serving
a thirty-day sentence for bootlegging
on a pauper oath. His attorney, w.
S. Furman presented the application
which was resisted by District Attor-
ney Weiser. The sheriff had made
no return. and attorneys for Watkins
reported that he had said he would
take the full ninety days on the ex-
ecution.
Judge Cavender held that the dis
trict attorney had a right to make a
showing that the defendant is not a
pauper. but said that the execution
must hereafter be filed at the end of
each court term. In this case 1t was
filed after the term ended. No final

GETS
TITLE FOR
PIPE Line
Land Commissioner Finally
Agrees TO Deeds for Right
Of Way for Water System.
CITY IN DELICATE POSITION

After three years of delay the city
Of Grand Junction on Saturday was
finally given title to the right of
way for its pipe line connecting with
Hannah creek which has been in
dispute for all this time.
The mysterious disappearance Of
the maps and blue prints. and fail
ure OF former Mayor Todd TO comply
with the regula tions OF the land com
missioner came very near to tying up
the right of way To Grand Junction S
s450.000 water system Indefinitely
and might have resulted in litigation
which would have been very costly
to the taxpayers.
For three years the depa partment has
withheld the grant of the right OF
way, and but for the fortunate fact
that Grand Junction man, s. b.
Berry was placed In charge of the
Montrose land office. the situation
might have been even more serious,
Soon after the survey for the Kan
nah creeek water system was made
the maps were prepared. and needed
data secured to enable the city to
secure the right of way from the
government. The filings were made
before Register Blair Mt Montrose. or
rather the maps were sent to him
with the request that they be for
warded to Washington. Finally. af-
ter work of construction had com
menced. and the necessary deeds for
right of way not having been re-
turned an investigation was started
No trace OF the mans could be dis
covered. and City Attorney Tupper
made special trip TO Montrose to
find them. but without success Az
ter fruitless effort TO locate the
important documents. copies Were
prepared and sent to Montrose for n
second time. This WI over year
Ggn and ever slnt. thsi tAs matter
has been tied up between the land
office in Washington and the land
office at Montruse For time, the
land commissioner refused to grant
the right of way. and but for the
showing of the huge expense the city
had been put to in constructing its
pipe line. as made by Receiver Berry
the right Of way might never have
been granted. Finally after months
of correspondence the deeds We're fin
ally signed by Land Commissioner
Clay Tallman and were received at
Montrose last Saturday They will
be forwarded to Mayor Cherrington

AGAIN DEFER ACTION

Pastors of Washington Federation
Unable to Decide Whether to
Invite EVANGELIST Here.

Once more the Washington Pastor:
Federation has met TO discuss the per.
/ picking problem of Evangelist Billy Sun
day and the ACCESSIBILITY OF inviting him
( to WASHINGTON. and for the second time
definite action on the question has been
/ postponed. The meeting yesterday in
as a vigorous discussion of the merits
and dement's of Mr.. Sundays work. but
no action was taken.
Rev. A. II. Thompson, of the Waugh
NJ E Church, made the suggestion that
the baseball evangelist" be brought to
this city by invitation from those pastors
in favor OF his work and Independently
Of the federation. This suggestion. which
was well received, will probably be act
ed on.
The associations of the ministers of
various denominations made report
which showed the divergence of opinions
on the subject. The Methodist Episco-
pal pastors reported that Sunday was
almost unanimously favored among them.
The Lutheran churches. represented by
Rev. Charles Steck. of Epiphany Luth-
eran Church. reported that they deemed
ii inadvisable to invite Mr.. Sunday to
Washington. The Baptist Ministers As
sOciation left the decision to each indi-
vidual pastor of the denomination. al
though. reporting through Rev. J. J.
Muir. they thought il was not advisable
to extend an invitation to the evangelist.
Presbyterian ministers voted in favor OF
the invitation at their recent meeting.
but many of the pastors did not cast a
ballot The Congregationalists did not
take any definite stand.
During the discussion. excerpts from
Billy Sundays sermons were read. The
English of these sermons is not the
orthodox language Of the pulpit and was
advanced as a reason for not inviting
Mr.. Sunday to preach here. Those favor
ing the invitation replied with statistical
results OF Sundays evangelistic work TO
show the marvellous stimulation religion
has received in various places.
