Colorado Springs, July "A. e.
Carlton, former president of the road,
was today appointed receiver of the
Colorado Midland railway by Judge
J. W. Shaffer of the district court. He
was authorized to discontinue the op-
Grafton of the road as common car
rier after August 5th. The court in
structed Receiver Carlton to see that
proper notice of this action is given to
the public through the public utilities
commission.
The court also directed Mr.. Carlton
to put the property up for sale at auc.
tion for the best price it will bring.
In part, the order Of the court said:
at appears to the court and has
been found fact that said road is in
solvent, and has not and cannot pay
its operating expenses; that each days
further operation thereof entails loss
of approximately $500, and that said
losses will increase
The suit that resulted in Carlton s
appointment today as receiver was
brought by the Colorado Title & Trust
company, which holds a $2,0OO,00O
mortgage against the road and on which
it is alleged that the interest has not
been paid.
The court order says further
"That the withdrawal of government
control, the increased cost of materi-
ais and increased wages, together with
diversion of traffic under govern
mcnt orders, causes and will cause still
greater deficits in attempting to op
crate the road.
"That the road cannot be operated
as going concern, and that no pur.
chaser charged with the duty of oper-
atng said road can be found.
at further appears that the release
of its trained employees and of its
equipment will materially aid the car
riers now under control of the director
general of railroads upon roads suffer
ing from a shortage of equipment and
employees.
at is now considered and urged by
the court that said Colorado Midlanl
Railroad company should not be oper-
ated as a common carrier of freight
and passengers, and that any further
attempt to operate same will create
deficit of operating expenses over the
revenues of at least $4,000 per month.
and that the best interests of the plain
tiff, government, bond-hoders and
creditors of said road and of the pub
lie generally will be subserved and pro
noted by a discontinuance of all rail
+, ad operations on said system.
''It is now ordered that said receiver
of this road be and he is hereby or
dered to cease all operation of trains
and carrying on of business of COM
mon carrier over the tracks of the de-
fendant railroad corporation or any
part thereof on and after the 5th dav
of August, 1913"

Licensed Warehouses For Cotton.

That licensed warehouses for cotton
are attracting increased attention is
indicated by more than 800 inquiries
recently received by the Bureau of
Markets. To secure licenses, ware
houses must comply with certain re-
quiTenents as to construction and op-
eraticn which are intended to put the
business of warehousing on firm ba-
sis. Uniform receipts are a feature
Of the licensing and these enlarge the
field for discounting cotton paper An
other feature is the Reduction Of in
surance rates which may result under
Federal license. Rates now vary from
25 cents to $3.50 on 500 worth Of cot
ton in storage. Reasonable storage
rates, made possible through econo-
mics On Insurance and management
would, it is said, encourage growers
TO store cotton and so decrease the
amount of country damage" caused
by keeping cotton on the farm with
out adequate protection.

August 10 Named by Governor as
Day for Contributions to Relief

North Carolina Jews in Raleigh, VINO
asked that day be set aside in North
Carolina as Jewish Relief day, when
contributions would be given to miti-

Governor Beckett and is characteris-
tically eloquent and impressive, as
follows:
"Last year the whole world was
thrilled when the news flashed over
livered from the hands of the Turk.
Holy City should be restored to the
people who had builded it and with
whose history it is forever associated.
This is fine sentiment, but finer and
vastly more important than the re-
storation of the Holy City is the sal
walton of millions of Jews from hun
ger and disease and death. In Tur-
key, in Palestine, in Lithuania, in Rus
sia, in Poland, and in Galicia starva-
tion stares the children of Abraham in
the face. Daily, Jewish husbands see
their wives grow thin and pale and
fade away into the Great Silence.
Daily Jewish babies tug frantically
at breasts that are withered and div.
and above the din of battles is heard
once more the voice of Rachel weep
ing for her children and refusing to
be comforted because they are not.
Il call upon the good people of
North Carolina to hearken to this cry,
to rally to the help of the helpless and
once again to show themselves wor-
thy of the high service they are priv
ileged to render. The bounded, hun
gering Jew can we'll afford to die,
We cannot afford, by indifference and
inaction, to have his blood on our
hands.
Therefore, 1, Thomas Walter Kick
ett, Governor of North Carolina. do
hereby set apart, Monday, the 10th
day of August, 1918, as Jewish Re.
lief day. l ask all newspapers tc
give wide publicity to this day, and
especially ask that on Sunday, tie
18th day of August, notice be giver
in all the churches in the State that

help this stricken race.
"On Monday, the 18th day of Au

this most worthy cause generously
and gladly. Let Jew and GentilI

the relief Of these millions in distress
and may He, who made and loves Il:

IS planned to install larger busses with trailers attached for running on the paved streets, virtually doubling the capacity of the busses. Orders have been placed for the larger bus ses and within a few weeks they will be in camp ready to move quickly the thousands of soldiers seeking to get away for a holiday in the city.
 The busses are run on California avenue for soldiers living on the north side of the parade grounds and on Washington avenue for those liv- ing on the south side. The barracks are built along California and Mon tana avenues on the one side and Oregon and Washington avenues on the other so that the soldiers can be taken by the busses within two blocks of their quarters.

|NTELL|GENT SEACULL
 RECOGNIZES SAILORS

SEATTLE, May 14.-That the sea gull is one of the most intelligent of birds is asserted by Ensign H. M. Delanty, of the naval training station here. The officer says that while on recruiting duty in an automobile re- gently, he and his party found, far inland, a lone sea-gull, sitting on fence post, apparently registering de- spair, having flown so far inland that it seemingly lost it's way back to salt water, if such were possible. On see ing the machine filled with blue clad men-'o-warsmen, the gull, with weird cry that might have expressed recognition of the familiar uniform, Tapped off the post and followed the car, which was headed in a westerly direction toward the sea. When the party stopped at a small town for dinner, the gull continued his flight toward the general direction of the nearest arm of the ocean.

DO YOUR BIT.

Back from the trenches I saw him one day, Back from the battle-an arm shot away; But his air was brave and his smile was gay And it stirred my heart to hear him say: "Ah lads, its not much the arm that I gave There's many chap that's gone down in the wave With never a chance from the blow in the dark, That sends the torpedo straight to it's mark. There are lads in the trenches, who day after day Are doing their part in the heat of the fray Helping a cause which must win the fight TO prove to the world that right con quers might There are lads who are dying-your brothers and mine Away from their land while hearts sadly pine And eyese shall grow dim watching in vain For loved ones who'll never return home again. Oh, can't you see what we're fighting for And do your share to win the war. Your brothers are taking a chance miss or hit They're dying for you-are you doing your bit?"

AT CAMP LEWIS |S
 B|C PROBLEM

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wn., May 14.-Handling the transportation of a city of 30,000 to 50,0O0 by means of automobiles when as many as 10000 of the population want to go in one direction at once, is one of the prob lens of Camp Lewis which is left in the hands of the Camp Lewis Trans portation company for settlement There are no street cars and the dis tance from the entrance to camp to the farthermost barracks of the can tonment is more than three miles.
 The Camp Lewis Transportation company, with a line of busses, has the contract for carrying the men back and forth within the canton ment for a consideration of a five-cent fare. And for four days of the seven in each week it is a comparatively simple matter because there is little travel of the enlisted men from their barracks to the Tacoma bus station on these days. But Wednesday af ternoon's and Sundays probably two thirds of the camp is deserted and the thousands of men must be nov ed within a space of about two hours. For this purpose twenty busses are in use and they prove insufficient for thousands of the men walk the full distance from their barracks te the Tacoma bus station or to the railway station from which place special trains are run on the holidays to take the men to Tacoma and Seattle.
 For months, before the pavement of many of the streets of the camp, the hauling of these men was an un- profitable venture The streets were rough, full of chuck holes and ruts and broken springs more than ate up the profits from the industry, officials of the company estimating that it cost two and one-half cents per pas senger more than the bus fare of five cents. But with the pavement of California and Washington Avenues, the cost of repairs to the machines has decreased and a fair profit now is realized.
 The big rush hours are from noon to two o'clock Wednesdays and Sat urdays and from o'clock Sunday night to reveille Monday morning. when all soldiers must be back in their barracks ready for their military duties of the new week Nearly l0,- 900 men have been carried from the Tacoma bus station at camp to their barracks by the. transportation com pany between six o'clock Sunday night and Monday morning and not one of the men is kept waiting more than fifteen minutes.
 The crowds are handled in the camp bus station with all the precision with which large crowds are handled in city street railway terminals and there is little confusion, the men pay 1 ing their fares and falling into line, ready to leGve as soon as the bus en- ters the station.
 Plans for handling tho big crowds even more rapidly are under way. It
