A Delusion And a Snare

The Craig Empire reports that the
Moffat railroad il about to discOn-
tinue it's daily passenger train ser
vice to Craig.
Manager Morse of the Moffat road,
on being interviewed, said: :.
"Yes, we are going to cut out the
daily train service and right away.
We are going to give you Il mixed
train service between Phippsburg
and Craig. Do you think we are 60
ing to operate daily passenger service
simply to carry your parcel post,
mail and newspapers? Not much.
Everybody in this section is automo-
bile crazy. You take to automobiles
in fair weather, but when tits muddy
and the roads are bad the railroad il
good enough for you. do not want
you to understand and infer that We
are sore, it is business proposition.
A railroad cannot be maintained
without patronage"
All of which would indicate, that
getting a railroad Ia not the great
blessing it is cracked up to be. Here
at Meeker, we are becoming recon-
ciled to the fact that we are not a
trunk line.

Hold On to the Thoroughhreds

The Horse Review in the last issue
of the Denver Field and Farm says:
This is II great time for owners of
Thoroughbred stock to get busy with
their breeding operations so AS to re-
plenlish the earth. With the war in
Europe shortening the supply of
horses perceptibly, the American
breeders should be prepared to sup
ply the world with thoroughbreds
when the European markets shall
have been exhausted. Europe is bound
to need horses in vast numbers be-
fore and after this war is over and
the United States will be overrun
with buyers who will not be salts
fled with anything but the best Out
side of the cavalry remount and ar
tillery horses, taken in such vast
numbers by Europeans in the last
few months, the purchases in the
United States have in the past de-
cade been mainly confined to our
standard bred or trotting stock. Only

tract records We're wanted but the
next call will be for the thorough

Violatingthe Fish Laws

On Monday. Game Warden $. 7.
Wear ran onto bunch OF Grand
river fishermen who had In their
possession u number of white fish.
AS most well informed fishermen
know, or ought to know, 1t is not
lawful to catch white fish at this sea-
son. So the Grand river gentlemen
were in for it. Something had to be
done. There were six In the party!
One of their number volunteered to
be the goat and do vicarious atOne-
ment for the sins of the others. This
gentleman gave his name as Fred
Wishoring and acknowledged that
he had caught the fifteen silvery
scaled fish; and informed the warden
that he WAS ready to go to town and
receive his "medicine" which was
administered to him by Mr.. Justice
A. L.. Gourley in homepathatic
dose in the shape of 1900 and costs.
Whether Wishoring is the gentle
mans everyday name at home. or
his White river white fish name, We
did not ascertain. AS to the names
of the others, Warden Wear did not
wish to be inquisitive, but we un-
derstand they ranged from prom
inent Grand Junction banker down
to u plain peach packer.
