A Period Of Rest

Congress has adjourned and big
Business" which has been complain
ing of the administrations opposi-
tion. may now rest In peace, with the
assurance that no further raids upon
its vested wrongs are contemplated.
No one can blame President Wilson
for jubilating q little when the cur
tain went down on the last act of one
OF the most comprehensive and sue
cessful programs ever attempted by
a national administration. A full two
years ne labored to secure the per-
formance of his party's pledges to
the people and no president Of recent
years accomplished so much toward
the redemption Of solemn pledges as
he did. He had fought the good fight
and kept the faith, and 1t WAS his
privilege to rejoice, instead Of to be
explaining, when congress finally
adjourned.
No one can point to any one pledge
of his party which has not been car
ried out to the letter. The glory, Of
course, is not all to the president.
Fighting shoulder to shoulder with
him was Champ Clark, whom the
Republican press tried it's best to
ALLEVIATE, and there also were Under
wood and hundred others, includ-
ing the entire Colorado delegation In
congress-always true to the party's
platform.
To our way OF thinking, no session
Of congress In the history of the ma
tion has been 80 arduously followed,
so ably managed or SO fruitful of re-
suits as the session just closed. Two
years more under the new limitations
imposed upon business of the big"
type will tell, to some extent, the
truth or fallacy Of the Democratic
doctrines and two years hence Wood
row Wilson will be triumphantly re-
inaugurated with record OF achieve-
ment behind him and the full prom
ise Of more ahead.-Fort Collins Re-

Horses Still in Demand

The last issue of the Gunnison
News-Champion reports.
Ruby Bros. secured a car of good
horses Saturday and tire bunch were
shipped Tuesday to Pueblo. S. g.
Fisher, Otis Moore, Geo. Anderson
and w. A. johnson furnished most OF
them. The price paid averaged $ll5.
Evidently horses are going up In
price, and rs the great war continues.
it is hard to say where they will stop.
A well posted horse breeder Of the
lower country informed the writer
recently that there is already almost
no limit put upon the price paid by
foreign governments, only that SO
much is absorbed by changing hands
through half a dozen middlemen be-
tween here and the seaboard that the
breeders profit does not rise In pro-
portion. Said he, If we knew buy
lers direct on the seaboard to whom
I'VE could ship and could guarantee
several carloads the price would now
run to $50 and $l75 net for good
stock"
This leads to the question, whether
our own country is not going to be
rapidly depleted of horses. OF course
very few farmers are selling any
mares, but 1t takes four years to
make good horse flesh, If the start is
made this spring. Undoubtedly the
wise ones are planning to make lib
eral use of the best stations avail
able this spring, and the season
ought to be unusually prosperous for
horse breeders"

improving the Rifle---Meeker--ver
nal Route

The last issue of the Vernal Ex-
press says:
sThere will be available nearly
$40, 600 for use on the Pixies Peak
Ocean to Ocean highway in Uintah
county this spring. Approximately
1000 is remaining from the last ap-
propriation. This will be available
this year. The recent road bill pass
ed by the legislature appropriated
1900 for this county to be used on
the state road providing the county
commissioners appropriate 1880.
They have expressed themselves
favorably on this question.
From Vernal the road will be
graded in both directions. State Road
Overseer Collett started work Tues
day with q grader and several teams.
The road has been dragged and the
grader will follow and round up the
center, thus making an excellent
highway. Southwest of town Il num-
ber of stumps are to be removed
while some culverts in the city are
being replaced.
"Mr. ColIett has charge Of 66 miles
of the road, from the TX" ranch to
the Duchesne county line. Several
autos have made the trip over the
road recently and all report it in ex-
cellent shape. A force of men are
busy tearing out the old culverts and
installing the steel ones.
1.-The 10000 will mean about $50 Il
mile for the upkeep this year. The
hard work is nearly all done and this
money will show up bigger than any
money expended heretofore. Mr..
Collett made trip out to the Colo
RADIO line yesterday and finds the road
in good condition for travel. Only
one bridge to build this season.
Work on the Ashley creek bridge
will begin soon. 1t is estimated that
this bridge will cost close to 81 500"

Word comes from Utah that some
of the big sheepmen of that state
have been offered 26 cents a pound
for their 1915 wool clip. Some have
accepted this offer, while others are
holding out for 30 cents. A couple of
years ago with the price of wool at
1s cents there were dire prophesies as
to what was going to happen because
of the placing Of this commodity on
the free list by a Democratic con-
gress. Nuff said!-Telegram.
