This state highway will benefit every
piece of property i'll the Platte Valley,
and. of course, especially the property
through which it passes. On an aver
age, l think that 0 per cent increase
of value in the property on each side
of this kind of a road, is conservative.
Some property near the towns, which
will be available for acre or 5-acre
homes, will be increased 300 per cent
ar more within Il very few years. In
fact, if Il property owner can get the
road to pass through his ranch, he will
probably make more clear money by
deciding II narrow strip for ~right-of-way
than he could expect to gain by five
or ten years work.

here by the thousands every year.
Bad roads will drive them away toward

Denver and Rio Grande railroad
company on which the sale of the
road to a trio of New York men
was based, was obtained as a re-
suit of unlawful conspiracy and
collusion, a number of stockhold-
ers in the d. and r. G. railroad
company have begun further court
proceedings to prevent confirma-
ton of the sale, according to an
announcement by the clerk of the
United States district court here.
The complainants, who claim to
be owners of S55 shares of pre-
ferred stock in the company, ask
that the collection of the $36,000,-
600 against the railroad company
in favor of the Equitable Trust
company of New York, be prohib-
tied and the sale not allowed.

ferred from the treasury of the D. |
and r. G. railroad company to the
Western Pacific railway company

so doing the statutes of California
were violated.
Wrongful interlocking of direc-
torates of various railroads also is
charged.

Japs See Danger
In Concessions
In Karncllatka

Toxic, Dec. 29.--Concessions in
Kamchatka granted to Washington
B. Vanderlip of California, by the
Russian government might prove a
serious disadvantage to Japan,
Vicount Uchida, japanese foreign
minister, told a deputation of the
opposition party which visited him
today. He pointed out, however,
that the United States had not rec
ognized the contract because Amer
lea had not recognized the soviet
government.
The deputation also questioned
the ministers of war and navy and
both replied that if reports con-
cerning the concessions were true,
the situation held a menace to ia
pan from the view point of defense
but declined to express any further
opinion in the absence of confirma-
ton of these reports.

Nature Points
To Mild Winter
In Pennsylvania

Kane, Pa, Dec. 29.-- The COM
ing winter is going to be mild ac-
cording to the weatherwise of this
section. which is over 1900 feet
above sea level and one of the
coolest spots in the state when it
is cold. These are the reasons for
mild winter:
Robins are still seen in the
woods.
Pollywogs were found in a small
stream in Russell City.
Fishing worms have been seen
crawling over the snow-covered
sidewalks.
Woodchucks (groundhogs) have
not yet hibernated.
Blooming trailing arbutus has
been found in Glade township.

wood, all that remains of the bod
les of a number of the early Pill
grim settlers of Plymouth colony,
were removed from their crypt in
the recess over Plymouth Rock
and conveyed to their new resting
place in Pilgrim hall.
Previous to the removal of the
bones of the Pilgrim fathers the

surmounted the peak of the canopy
was likewise removed.
The bones were placed in the re-
