AS OLD JUNK
Colorado Railroad Would BRING Twice
What IL Cost by Calling
Up the Rag
Man

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Aug. Estate
officials and citizens Of Colorado to-
day carried their fight to save the
Colorado Midland railroad from being
junked, to Director General McAdoo
Led by Leslie G. Hubbard. attorney
general, they again pleaded for the
railway administration to keep the
road in operation If possible.
Although MoAdoo declared he could
not give the owners OF the road more
than 100000 in annual compensation,
he telegraphed Governor Gumper and
the Colorado state utilities commits
sion that the railroad administration
was willing to take over the road
McAdoo's telegram was merely a
reiteration of his former offer, but it
will serve to counteract statements
made by officials Of the road that the
railroad administration had refused
to take It over. according to mem
bers of the delegation. Hubbard de-
clared that every legal means was
being exhausted to save the road for
the thousands of persons residing
along the 29S miles of track who are
now utterly without transportation
facilities. The railroad, Hubbard as
serted, has been earning only $4,000
annually. Owners of the line say they
have invested about $2,000,o00, but
due to the war prices they will be
able to obtain S5.500,000 by junking
the steel and equipment. In view of
this. McAdoo's offer Of 100000 annu-
ally means about a FIVE percent rate
on the original investment. But ac-
cording to Hubbard the owners Of the
road have demanded five and one
half percent or 100000 annually on
the sum they say they can get by
selling the road as junk.

would indicate that four separate
wage schedules would ne established
in raising the pay generally. Because
Of the variance in living conditions
and costs. different wage scales
likely will be made for the Pacific
coast, Great Lakes, Delaware and
New England and the Gull coast

His Letter Home.

1t is his boyish scrawl; two eyes
grow dim
A mothers eyes which used to watch
for him;
A message then to father on the
phone,
For such treat one should not have
alone.
IT'S read through hurriedly and then
again,
And once more slowly. for their little
Ben
Has used strange terms as yet un-
known to her.
Now father PUSHES in with manly
stir;
He. smiling, reads aloud and walks
the floor
And scans the pages for g. wee bit
more;
The children come from school and
each must hear,
And have explained the names that
sound so queer:
The passing neighbors ask about "the
boy"
And mother proudly reads, aglow
with joy.
Then father tucks the envelope away
And mothers hurt, but will not say
him nay;
She longs to take it to her club, but
well,
There's much she's memorized
enough to tell;
Besides, next day the paper prints
it all,
And father struts and never looked
so tall,
And mother cuts it out to put away
To keep until he marches home
some day.
His fairest work, whatever trophies
come,
I still believe will be his letter home.
