Denver-The recent rapid rise in
the cost of print paper and the diff
culties encountered by the mills in
their efforts to supply the demand at
any cost have led both government
bureaus and private companies to ex'
pertinent with chips Of various west
ern woods, and experiments conduct
ed by the Forest Service. according to
bulletin Just issued by the latter de-
partment, especially, have demonstrat'
ed that good grades of paper can be
made from a number Of woods here
tofore not used. 1t Is estimated that
some OF these woods when cut into
chips, dried and baled, can be deliv-
cred to the mills at very small ad'
vance over the cost OF local timber.
Wisconsin papermakers are said to be
already profiting from the experiment.
Much of Colorado's best timber, To-
Gated In the southern portions Of the
state, is yellow pine and unsuited for
wood pulp purposes, but there are
also thousands of acres Of Engelmann
and blue spruce, aspen, alpine fir,
lodgepole pine and other varieties OF
pulp wood in the national forests that
could be utilized If local factory
was established or better freight rates
made to eastern points, it is claimed.
The cost of labor in Colorado would
also be a factor to be considered.
However, If the paper scarcity con.
tinues 1t is thought extremely likely
that some effort will be made to uti.
lie Colorado's vast timber resources,
either by manufacturing the paper
here or attempting to obtain more fa-
yorable rates to Wisconsin plants.

London, Oct. 25.-The Dobruja re-
gion of Rumania apparently is being
overrun by the forces of the Teutonic
allies.
Constanza, Rumania's chief seaport
and fortress on the Black sea, already
has fallen into the hands of the troops
Of the right wing of Field Marshal Won

ls nearing the town of Tchernavoda,
where the Danube is spanned by the
bridge Of the railroad running from
Constanza to Bucharest.
Near the center of their front. which
extends across the Dobrudja from the
sea to the Danube. the invaders have
cut the railroad near Murfatlar and
pushed their troops "far beyond" the
railway line. according to Berlin.
Before the rapid advance of the
Germans, Bulgarians and Tnrks-rapid
despite heavy rains and soggy ground
the Russians and Rumanians are in
retreat along the entire front, but ac-
cording to Petrograd are offering
stubborn resistance.
Aside from the operations in Do
brudja, another British smash at the
German line in the Somme region of
France, which netted them more than
1000 yards Of trenches east of Gueu-
decourt and Les Boeufs. and carried
their front step nearer the Bapaume-
Peronne road, is the most notable in
cident Of the fighting on any Of the
fronts.
A gain, described by Paris as ZAP
preciable," also is recorded for the
French northeast of Morval, just to
the south Of the region where the
British and Germans were In contact.
The Russians having been cleared
from the Narayuvka river region of
Galicia, the Austro-German have
hurled violent attack against other
forces of Emperor Nicholas north Of
Brody, near the Volhynia- Galicia bor-
der. The attack was repulsed, accord
ing to Petrograd.

to be willing to hear the "other side" {"
Audi alteram partem is a maxim old
as the hills, and it is as sound now as
when it was first propounded. A
journal with the title "The Other
Side," whose business it is to teach
people to look on the other side of
the prohibition question, has lately
made its appearance. 1t wears no
mask of philanthropy-it makes no
altruistic pretentions. It's title page
shows its origin, and its purpose is
boldly proclaimed. 1t is published by
the National Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' Association, and its whole mission
is to ask the public not to close their
ears to reason and argument, but to
be fair enough, before destroying a
great business that has long been
recognized as legitimate by state and
nation, to consider if something can
not be said on the "other side" of
this great question. It's mission, there
fore, without regard to the merits of
the question of prohibition, is a
worthy one, and in the interest of
justice and sanity it ought to have a
large circulation.

Another Angle to 1t.

To understand the situation it is
necessary to know the basis of hours
and wages now prevailing in railroad
freight service. The train crews are
paid on basis of 100 miles in ten
hoursor less. This means that if a
train runs 100 miles in ten hours, the
crew is paid the rates which the
schedule calls for. If the train runs
60 miles in ten hours, the crew is paid
for ten hours just the same, and over
time at the same rate per hour until
the run is completed. On fastthrough
freight train may run 150 miles in
ten hours, in which case the crew is
paid one and one-half days pay for
ten hours of work.
There can, therefore, be no fair
comparison between the pay of a
locomotive engineer and a bricklayer
or carpenter, as sometimes is tried
in arbitrating wage disputes. If a
bricklayer works four hours, he is
paid for that time, and no more. If
an engineer runs for five hours and is
tied up on a siding the next five, he
is paid for ten hours. Another dis
tinction is that if bricklayer works
overtime and receives a penalty rate.
he is engaged in productive work. A
train crew may be forced to work
overtime and not be engaged in pro-
ductive work, that is, work for which
the railroad receives any revenue.
The time of the crew is, of course,
given to the railroad whether the
train is running or delayed, and the
justice of paying the crew for that
time is recognized. But the payment
OF penalty rates for delays, for which
neither the railroad nor the crew may
be responsible raises another question.
IT at least shows that no fair compari-
son can be made of wages paid to
men in railroad service and other
skilled mechanics who are paid on an
hourly basis.

Build Silver Mine Road.

frederick own Democrat-News.)
To The Democrat News:
want to ask you for little space
in your paper te talk little about the
road to the Silver Mines and the
building of a road across the river
there. want to say the time is here
for something to be done and if it is
not done, and that pretty soon, | am
afraid Fredericktown is going to lose
the benefits that the trade of that
place will be to us here.
Now from what I can hear, (not
see) Ironton and Arcadia and the
citizens between the mines and the
towns have up subscription list and
there is almost enough money pledg-
ed to build a good road from the
mines to Arcadia. Now this is not
right, the mines are in this county
and that trade belongs to Frederick
town and we can get it if we will go
after it.
We must take some action at once,
Now this is what it will take to get it
a good road to the mines and bridge
across the river and both can be done
if we will all get together after it. 1t
will not cost us any more to build the
road and bridge both than twill Iron
ton to build the road as we have the
best route to build it over and the
material is right along where the road
will run. Nature has already built the
abutments for the bridge as all who
have been there will know. There is
a solid granite bluff on each side of
the river at the dam and there is a
solid rock in the center of the river
on which to build the center pier and
the cost would be the bridge and put
ting it up. By putting the road up
there the route of the present road
could be changed for about one and
| one half miles this side of the river
and get rid Of three of the worst hills
between here and the river and the
new road would be gravel ridge
which would be easily made and
would be at least one half mile short
er than the present route to the river.
The bridge at the dam would almost
get rid of the grades on each side Of
the river.
| This would also pe great thing for
this town in another way as it would
give us a fine automob road
through to Ironton, as they are sure
to build their end of the road whether
we do or not and the people of this
town and community can not over
look this as it means too much for the
business of this town. Now, CONNER
cial Club, here is another proposition
for you to get busy on. Now the
point is this, let's everybody get busy
and make this 60. Every business
house in this town should subscribe
from $100 to $500 to help this along al
it will all come back to them.
Respectfully,
FELIX J. PARKIN.
