IN THE INTEREST

sion. Mr. Gobel took up the matter
Of freight charges on autos between
Durango and Silverton, with w. NJ.
Lampton, general freight agent of

rate is so cents per hundred with a
$40 minimum. Mr.. Hampton agreed
to a reduction of so per cent, making
the new freight rate 25 cents per
hundred. The railroad company prom
ised at once to report said reduction
TO the utilities commission for the
approval of that body, which will
doubtless be Immediately forthcom-
ing. The company, at the request of
Mr.. Gobel, has also agreed to pro-
vide platforms both at Durango and
Silverton for mounting autos on
board trains. These two desirable
improvements in the service for send
ing tourists from Durango to Sill
verton will result in a greatly in
creased tourist traffic, as the circle
trip is one of the best advertised and
most desirable trips in Colorado. Mr..

Quesmy, little village norts of the

Nine. Pellequer is one of those
modest heroines whom France has
reason to be proud of. When the
war broke out she was teaching school
in Quesmy while her husband was
similarity employed in the neighbor-

and found Nine. Pellequer installed
as mayor, maintaining order and at
