quality believe that they are not
being offered the true market val
ue for their brush.
It might also be interesting to
you 10 know that the brush rais-
ed in eastern Colorado has not in
the past received the same con-
sideration from buyers as that
raised in a good many other sec.
tions, especially in illinois and
the Lindsay district just referred
tc. This is due in most part to
the fact that the producers ap-
parently do not give the attention
that they should to the improve
ment of quality. They do not
cure it under cover, leaving it
exposed to the weather, which
causes bleaching and discolora-
tion, and they do not properly
sort and grade it when baling, all
of which tends to impair its val
ue.
You will realize, l am sure,
that it is practically inpnssible
to create artiticially a demand for
product Of this natu re, especially
when the prevailing quality is in

is an over.supply of poor brush.

Dear SIR
Ihave an unsigned letter Of
January 3lst on one OF your let
ter heads. in regard to the con-
struction of the contemplated ex-
tension from Satanta westward.
lam sorry to say that I can
not make any promise with re-
spect to the construction of this
line as our railroad property is
now entirely in the hands of the
federal railroad administration n,
and the building of all new lines
is determined and carried out by
it.
The general policy OF the led
eral administration has been to
avoid any improvements which
are not urgently required by the
business in sight. This policy
was made necessary up to the
close of the war by lack Of ma.
terial and labor. and while moi
so necessary now on these ac-
counts is still almost equally nee.
essary because of the large fnan
cial demands which are still be-
ing felt.
Very truly yours.

House of Representatives.
Dear Mr.. Keatingy-
Reference is mEde to yoLr let
ter of recent data TO which vas
attached q petit,eh signed by the
oroomcorn producers of Baca
county in your stste.
! There was produced last sea.
son a comparatively small amount
OF brush Of good quality, yet an
abundance OF pepr quality, not
only in Baca county, but in all
broomcorn producing territories.
Especially is this true In most of
the dwarf producing sections,
which include Kansas, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Texas, and New Mexi-
co.
The reason for the production
:of SO much poor brush in eastern
colorado may be attributed in
imost part to the unfavo rable
weather conditions both for pro.
ductlon and curing. Dealers and
manufacturers, knowing Of this
condition and anticipating the
continuation of high prices, be-
gan to purchase their stock, .r a
portion of it at least. early il the
season. Shortage of supply OF
good quality, together with
strong demand and the tendency
of the producers to hold. caused
IA considerable increase in pl ices
for the better grades, and some
increase for the lower grades.
Following the signing of the ar
mistice, the factor of the uncer'
talnty as to the future trend oil
business was introduced and per-
haps little over-emphasized, re
sulting in a temporary cessation
lof buying, and gradual decIiue
in prices. To illustrate, the pric
es reported for the diffcrenI
grades at Kansas City on the
dates mentioned below we're q.
follows:
Choice self-working or Hur

1850, Dec 3, is $15o-200
Snort Western Kansas and East
iern Colorado Sept. 20, is $50.15t
lDec. 3, is $5O-lI0.
| 1t is quite true that the pr,
ducers in the Lindsay district
ithe one referred to in the peti
tion, are obtaining more for thei
brush than is beng offered ir
Baca county. The Lindsay dis
trict has been producing broom
corn for many years, and through
experience in production, har
vesting, curing, and grading, the
farmers are putting a product OF
the market for which the buyer:
are willing tn pay premium.

Bostonians, organized themselves
into a yigilaute committee, the
intent and purpose of which was
to have less COW boys on the

For this purpose they provided

guns.

and probably four feet high,
