Denver.-Thirty-fiv passengers on
a Denver & Rio Grande train, stalled
at Chama, New Mexico, telegraphed
the State Public Utilities Commission
Monday, urging a prompt relief expe-
dition. The telegram stated that the
train had been marooned by huge
snowdrifts for four days, and that no
immediate relief was in sight. The
telegram was signed by q committee
consisting OF David R. Boyd, s. w.
Raymond, William Balfour, George w.
Harry Cassidy. Mr.. Lees home is in
Denver; he was formerly deputy state
encouragement.
Storm conditions prevailed Mon
Gay in the Gunnison territory, on
Marshall Pass, and on the Rio Granda
Southern. Relief from the present
situation is apt to be slow, by rea-
sen of the fact that one big rotary
snow-plow is snowbound at Antonito;
another on the Rio Grande Southern
at Lizard Head, and third is slowly
pushing its way on to Silverton, again
shut off from communication, with the
snow drifting ten to twenty feet high
i'll its wake, according to reports.
Officials at the general offices of
the Denver & Rio Grande stated Mon.
day night that the situation was
growing worse and could not predict
when the lines could be cleared.
Traffic throughout the various areas
affected by the storm conditions is
practically suspended save on snow
shoes or on skis. Most of the high
way roads are impossible.
While the great bulk of the area of
Colorado is free from storm condi-
tons, the San Juan region in the
southwestern part of the state is cut
off from communication with the OUT
side world by drifting snow and the
menacing snowslides.

WHAT IS DOING IN THE AUTO WORLD

Four thousand motor trucks are to

This request embOdieS q practical promise of the government to take every truck as fast as it can be turned out for immediate shipment.
 Two ton trucks and one-half ton models that will carry two tons are the sizes which will be wanted in large quantities and one Detroit dealer stat ed ruefuIIy within the last few days hIs belief that for the rest of the sum- mer he would have no more trucks to sell.
 He refused to take his usual exhibi- tiOn space for the Michigan State Fair Automobile show, as every truck he represented was already manufacturing for delivery to the government.
 Orders now filled are in addition to
 those executed some time ago and since the raid of Villa at Columbus. In addition to the orders for the gov ernment there has also been COnsid- erable buying in small lots for the use of the militia, to complete the equip ment of companies being mObilized. This buying has robbed the dealers
 throughout the country of business wa agOrs for delivery to their custom CTS. Patriotism has caused buyers to yield to the militia in the matter of deliveries.
