(The Barron Financial News SeFvice)
 New York, Sept. 24.-August earn trgs of the railroads in the United States. as indicated. by preliminary re- turns, will make a poorer exhibit than In the preceding month Forty roads whose estimated gross earnings for August are available cover about one EFaird of the mileage of the country The combined showing of these reads IS an average gross decrease of 4.3 per cent Estimated gross of these roads in July showed a decrease of SIS per cent, while the final returns of all the roads in the country for July showed 2 decrease of SGT per cent IT Is likely that the final figures of gross for August will also make a poorer showing than the preliminary estimate. Tine roads included in the early estimate are for the most part western crop carriers, and roads oper- la.t4ng an the south and southwest, with none of the larger trunk lines repre- aeuted- The trunk lines, however, are expected to nnake a very poor showing because or t1sar relatively greater losses resulting from the war.

BALDWIN FOR SENATOR.
(New Britain Herald.

Governor Baldwin has been nomtn- ated for United States senator by a larger vote than was expected and while an able man has been defeated, the Democratic convention has un- doubtedly made the best choice. He may be cold, distant and difficult to approach as alleged, but there is no doubt of his ability to serve the state in the upper house of congress and thta is the all important qualification for candidate
 The governor comes before the peo- pie this time with 8 good record as the head or the state government for four years and he will no doubt run well for the office for which he is now presented to the people as a candi- date.
 The Democrats have put their best foot forward on the United States senatorship.

EXPENDITURES ON
THE COUNTY ROADS

The Durango Motor club has gone
to considerable expense in securing
facts and figures indicating the
amount 70 moley expended on the pub
lie roads in La Plata county, by road
districts, the location Of the district
and the names Of the road overseers.
The object of making public this in
formation is that the people through
out the county may know what work
has been done, by whom and at what
expense to the people, SO that they
may be better able to decide whether
or not they are satisfied with the
present system used in this county.
This system has been in use many
years in various states, but is being
discarded in many on the grounds of
large expenditures with small results.
