RIO GRANpE HAS WORST
WAsHoUT IN MANY YEARS
Crowded out last week.)

tSAoWoOu Ook Aa6I WC0A./
According to the best information
at hand the rock slide that has tied
up traffic for the past week in the
Royal Gorge is far more serious than
at first supposed. It seems that for
over distance of twenty-five miles
the mountain has slipped in on the
track and covered it in some places
twenty-five to thirty feet deep. The
railroad company has had over 400
men working day and night to clear
the right Of way so that service may
be resumed at the earliest possible
moment. Three steam shovels assist
ing in the work. In one place it is
said that the entire mountain has
fallen over in the canon and that the
clearing away of this one particular
obstruction will take at least a week
or ten days to accomplish.
All the resources at the command
of the company are being used to put
the main line back into commission.
Al the present time all the mail is
being carried around by way of Ala
mosa, although this means a delay of
about twenty-four hours. it Is better
than waiting three or four weeks for
the line to be cleared.

bits, and three half grown hogs were
also kept in the shed. Andy Denmafi's
Ford car was stored there and when
the fire started Mrs. Crider looked
from the back door and discovered
flames coming from under the car and
rapidly attacking the walls She lost
no time in rescuing her baby who was
playing IN the rear seat, all uncon-
scious of danger.
About the same time Mr.. Crider dis
covered the flames and ran to the
scene, but by the time an alarm could
be turned in the light frame building
was too far gone to be saved and the
flames were greatly augmented by an
explosion Of the gasoline tank on the
car. Tie tools, car, pigs and rabbits
were totally lost, but the father and
mother are thankful in having their
darling spared.
There was no insurance on building
or contents.
1t is believed the fire was started
by some neighbor boys playing with
matches.

Every great step in human psogress
has met with opposition. Washington
faced it, Lincoln faced it, Wilson fac
es it.
When the Constitution Of the United
States was under consideration, it was
violently opposed in many quarters on
the groud that, if adopted, the boys
of North Carolina might be sent to
help uuell disorders in Maine.
When the Monroe Doctrine was un-
der consideration, the same kind of
people had visions of Americas young
men dying on the battle fields OF
South America to maintain this doc
trine.
Now we have the League of Nations
issue with the same reactionaries stat
ing that our boys will be sent over
seas to help settle European quarrels
Without the League of-Nations two
million of our boys were sent over
seas and two million othess we're
ready to 60 overseas. With d League
of Nations future wars will never a.
gain see four million OF its men under
arms.
Governor Cox has declared that he
will present the League OF Nations to
Congress as soon as he can do so.
Senatos Harding has pledged himself
to "scrap the measure"
The covenant of the League of Ma
lions is in the hands of the President.
His action is necessary to, bring it
before Congress. Governor Cox prom
ises to do this. Senator Harding says
that the League is dead. The issue is
clear-cut. It is ethics Cox and the
League of Nations or Harding and no
League.
