LOAD CARS TO LIMIT"
HOOvGR'S ORDER IN MOVING
CROPS OF COLORADO.
Shippers Must Utilize Full Space &c
Get Entire Output Of Fruit and
Vegetables to Market.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Drast;c efforts to brins
relief to Colorado communities which
are facing heavy crop losses through
congested car movements were under
taken in Washington by Herbert
Hoover. national food administrator.
He directed railroads to have all cars
loaded to the limit of safety. and sent
warning at the same time to farmers
and growers that unless they comply
with this provision the railroads viii
be authorized to place a shipping eR
barge on their crops.
In some OF the southern and west
ern communities OF Colorado only half
OF the perishable fruits have been
packed for shipment. and these. to
gether with the northern districts that
have big consignments of potatoez.
are directly affected by the order. re
ceived at the office OF Thomas d.
Stearns, food administrator for Colo
RADIO.
This action follows efforts OF the
Colorado Council of Defense, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and the Colo
RADIO food administration to urge upon
shippers the necessity for heavy load
ing at this season. II more directly
follows the appeal made by railroad
freight officials to the national com
mission on car service, in Washing
ton. to prevail upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue emsr-
gency orders that would compel ship.
pers to load apples and potatoes TO
carrying capacity OF cars.
The railroads of Colorado took the
position that while they were strain
ing every effort to meet the tremen-
dous crop production In the Arkansas.
North Fork and San Luis valleys. as
well as other centers. II was quite evil
dent that growers. in their anxiety to
get the fruit to the market. were
working individually instead OF collec-
lively.
One OF the latest shipments out o.
the San Luis valley received the fol
lowing comment from an inspector:
Eighteen cars OF potatoes were
shipped. The minimum loading is
&c, 900 pounds, but these eighteen cars
averaged $4,000 pounds each. In other
words. these shippers were doing their
patriotic duty by making five cars do
the work OF seven"
Growers in the San Luis valley are
working nights digging temporary
storage places. They have put into
execution suggestions coming from
the transportation and food commit
tees of the Colorado Defense Council
and the Public Utilities Commission.

A NEW OIL COMPANY FORMED
BY LEADING DENVER CITIZENS

The history of new oil development
is truly in the making. We need only
look back a few months to discover
period when the average person
looked askance at the idea of Wyom-
ing becoming recognized oil produc-
ing state. Numerous companies were
in the process of formation but in
few instances were the names of the
men identified with these companies
generally known to the people at large.
The condition, however. has been
gradually and consistently undergo
ing a change AS the real facts re-
sarding the wonderful possibilities of
future oil production in Wyoming be-
came known, men of Importance in
the commercial and financial world,
became actively interested, until to-
day men whose names have always
been linked with successful business
achievements and whose financial rat
ings are recognized and known
throughout the country, are becoming
associated with the promotion of oil
producing companies in Wyoming.
Illustrative of this fact is the names
of the officers and directors of the
Erie Oil and Refining company which
has been completed articles of incor-
poration and whose announcement ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue.
E. B. Field, Jr., who assumes the
presidency of this new company, is
vice president of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company,
with headquarters in Denver The
vice president, Mr.. II. NJ. Ruby, is the
president of the Ruby National Bank,
| Golden, Colorado. The treasurer is
Mr.. Frank n. Briggs who is president
of the Interstate Trust company; Mr..
John w. Springer. one of the board OF
directors is president of the Continen'
tai Trust company, and is also treas
urer of the American Stock associa-
ton. There is probably no better
known man in Colorado legal fratern.
ity than Milton Smith who is general
council for the Erie company.
This company has 10. 400 acres in
the Muddy Creek Oil field of Carbon
county, Wyoming, which according tc
statements made by their publicity
department have been carefully Sc
lected and pronounced by recognized
geologists to be great oil producing
territories.
Negotiations which are now pend
ing will add considerable acreage tt
the present holdings. Arrangements
are being made for drilling outfits
and development work will be ener
getically and continuously pushed
Taking into consideration the calibel
of the men at the head of this com
pany, and the vast holdings which
they have acquired, this strongly ap
pears to be one of the strongest spec
ulative investments offered during tn
year.

(The Cry Of a voIunteer.)

Why didn't wait to be drafted.
And he led to the train by the band
Or put in a claim for exemption.
Oh. why did I hold up my hand.
Why didn't wait for banquet.
why didn't wait to be cheered.
For the drafted men get all the credit
And I'm only volunteer
Nobody gave me banquet,
Nobody said kind word.
The puff of the engine, and the grind
of the wheels.
Was all the good bye that ] heard.
Then off to the training ! hustled,
To train for the next half year.
And in the shuttle forgotten,
was only volunteer.
And perhaps some day in the future,
When my children play at my knee
And ask me what did in the struggle,
And their little eyes look up at me.
I viii have to look into those eyes.
That so trustingly peer,
And say that ] wasn't drafted.
was only a volunteer.

PRIVATE BEATTY WRITES
INDEPENDENT ON VOLUNTEER"

The Independent is just in receipt
of a letter from Private A. G. Beatty
one of our good boys now at the 'front.'.
The complaint that he makes about
all this fuss for the drafted boys when
the volunteer boys were allowed 10
leave here without even their name
being mentioned, strikes us and ex-
presses our views entirely. However.
the editor of this paper called atten-
ton to this fact on one or two other
occasions. and now comes along Mr'
NBeaty with this splendid article on the
subject and thereto is appended a
clever poem on the Volunteer" His
letter follows:
October 81, 1917
Editor Delta Independent:
am enclosing little poem which
expresses the sentiment Of the fellows
of this organization, in regards to
drafted men and the way they are
treated ! am also enclosing little
clipping, cut from your paper. where
in two men were presented with five
dollar gold piece before leaving for
the National Army" and ! also read
in your paper and also in the Denver
Post. where the State presented each
man with ten dollar gold piece;
that is those who enlisted prior to
August the fifth.
I beg to call your attention to the
fact that on June the 18th there were
twelve OF us who enlisted in the u. 5
Marine Corps, without even having our
names mentioned in the Honor Roll
carried in the Denver papers at that
time. but then ] had almost forgotten
that was only Volunteer"
Sincerely,
A. G. Beatty,
| Private in 9Sth Co. U. s. M. G.

Roumanian Courtesy.

The Roumanians are among the hand
soonest races In Europe. but that. says
correspondent of the London Teie-
graph. is only part Of their fascina-
ton. Some enthusiast has said that
the ladies of Bucharest combine the
beauty OF the Hungarian, the grace OF
the Austrian and the wit and style or
the Partisan" But still we have not
all the truth. 1t is the distinction and
kindliness of the manners of Bucharest
which mark IL out among the cities or
the world. No one ever found there
anything but courtesy. Many have pro-
nounced the people the politest on
earth, and the politeness is not mat
ter of civility or readiness TO oblige,
but high bred distinction of manner.
