Atlanta. December 3.-Immediate reductions in freight rates were asked today by the board of govern ors of the southern Traffic league at the close of their two days meet ing here.

GROCERY co. in
new LOCATION
Idaho Springs Grocery Com
pany Now Nicely Located on
New Corner; Store Fixtures
in White and Are Very Fine.

One of the greatest improve
ments to Idaho Springs is the
removal Of the Idaho Springs Gro.
Gerry company from the old quarters
to the new location on the corner
of Sixteenth avenue and Miner
street.-The old Patton building.
The large room has been parti-
toned off, the back room being
used for storage, while the front
room gives the company bountiful
space for their complete line of
groceries. A complete change has
been made, the walls, shelving,
etc, being in white, and a new
cash register, new show cases, and
new electric coffee grinder have
been installed since moving into
the new quarters. The place is
well lighted, and at night the old
corner looms up as of old and
shows that the store is in the
hands of wide awake, competent
men.
Messrs. Anderson and Gunstrom,
proprietors of this growing enter
prise, have been gradually pushing
ahead since they have had the
store, and their removal into more
aristocraiic quarters shows that
success has come their way. In
addition to the old force, a lady
clerk has been added in the person
of Mrs. Julia Smith, who will be
ever willing and ready to serve the
customers in her courteous manner.
Even tho you trade else where,
the management will be glad to
have you call and see how they
look in their new place of business.

Colorado & Southern reported
gross earnings of 1922, $50 as
compared with $12,976,643. Net
earnings after taxes and all charges
were $2,6OO,s13 in 1920 against
$1.683, ,724 in 1919.
The activity and strength of
Colorado & Southern common
stock is easily explained by these
figures. The net results for the
1920 year, after deducting preferred
dividends and all other charges,
would be equal to s6. IS share on
the common. In other words, while
recent legislation and higher rates
on freight have not given the most
Of the railroads the anticipated
earnings, in the case of Colorado
& Southern these increases have
worked out admirably.
1t is also interesting to note that
these results have been accom-
plished in period of great busi-
ness depression and in period
when there has been remarkable
falling off in freight In the case
of practically all roads December
net earnings showed severe de-
cline. and. yet Colorado & South
ern's net for this month was $493,-
974 as compared with only $l93,-
0O9 in the same month of the
preceding year.
Colorado & Southern is a very
moderately capitalized railroad and
not only earned its own way during
the period of government control,
but was returned to private owner
ship in excellent shape to handle
the growing volume of traffic. The
company is controlled by the

Certainly if Colorado & Southern

arly during the latter months of

,e expected of the road under the
increased freight rates ard under
lormal traffic conditions. In view
If this fact it seems to as that the
common stock deserves the atten-

from 1908 to 1911 the company
