WESTERN RAILROAD
SALE MARKS CLOSE
OF TUMULT0US CASE
(Rv Associated Press)

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 12-Sale OF
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
to the highest bidder by order of the
United States circuit court of appeals
marks the close of a tumultous chap
ter in the history of the road founded
by General William J. Palmer In 1871.
Millions of dollars a year in wages
were paid annually in the prosperous
period of the roads history and other
millions were used in numerous ell
forts of various. financial interests to
gain control of the railroad. From
the time the, Jay Gould interests
caused the retirement OF General
Palmer from the road in 1883, it was
the object of financial campaigns of
rival interests until the receivership
caused by default of the road in pay
ment of Western Pacific railroad
bonds in 1918, bond payments having
been guaranteed by the Denver &
Rio Grande-
Many Suits
The bond issue was for $50. 900
and when the Equitable Trust COM
pany of New York brought suit and OBJ
tanned Judgment in 1918, this had been
reduced to little more than $36 ,00O,-
Oo0-the amount of the judgment. On
January 20. of that year Edward l..
Brown. president of the road, and
Alexander r. Baldwin, vice-president
of the Western Pacific, were named
receivers by Judge Walter L. Sanborn
of the United States circuit court of
appeals. A month later Brown was
named sole receiver to comply with
regulations Of the United States rail-
road administration during the war.
He was delegated agent of the admin
istration.
Hearings were held before United
States master in chancery and on Sep
TENDER 25, 1920, an order was signed
by Judge Sanbprn for the sale of the
road, over the protest of a stockhold-
ers' committee who asked postpone
menk for a month The road was adj
vertised for sale for 80 days and Nov
ember 20 set as the date of sale.
The road was built originally as
part of Palmer's dream of line run
ming from Denver to Ell PasO. De-
velopment of the mining enterprises
in the western part of the state re-
suited in a change in the direction of
the roads development and extension
of branch lines westward into the min
ing communities became part of the
contest between the road and the
Union Pacific for control of the Rocky
mountain territory, the latter road al
ready having an advantage in the
northern Rocky mountin region.
Among the prominent railroad men
connected with the road in various
capacities were George Gould. Benja
min F. Bush and H. U. Nudge.

United States Leads
In Chilean Commerce
BY Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Nov. 1.-THE United
States continued far in the lead of
other nations in commerce with Chile
in 1919, supplying nearly half of
Chile's total imports of $146, 483,3 l..
This is shown by the annual report of
the superintendent of customs. I'm
ports from North America amounted
to s70,026,914 against $74,259,940, for
1918. Great Britain was second with
28,423,274.
Total Chilean exports during 1919,
decreased more than SO per cent as
compared with 1918. This was due
chiefly, it is said, to the reduced sales
of nitrate, the predominant product
for export.
