FREIGHT RATE ADJUST
MkNTS ARE IMPERATIVE

Mountain States Mineral Age
The disastrous wave Of depression
a hlrh swept over the metal mining in
d4-try during the past few years Is
due 20 "a combination Of causes, result
lng from war conditions and th" gen
-Tal readjustmeut through which the
country Is nOS passing. Dcmoralized
Uarkcts and ursati EfaCtnrg labor con-
Gluous are factors which have con-
tTibuted largely 70 bring about pres
cnt conditions, but the one uutstand-
ing cause Of tho cost Of iansporta-
ton. which affects not only the cost
Of moving the products Of the mine
but Is reflected back IN increased cost
OF supplies and reduction charges.
Until quite recently few have
realized just what the present
freight rate increases during the
past three years have meant TO the
metal mining industry. An analysis
Of operating costs, however, makes il
clear 70 the operators that the present
schedule for transportation Of mine
products is 4 most serious menace to
the industry and unless modified
means little short of absolute disaster.
In earlier days, when the chief out
put of the mines was high-grade
product, 90 per cent increase IN the
cost Of transportation would not have
so seriously affected operations, al
though even then, this increased cost
would have greatly curtailed the
number Of operating mines. With the
bonanza ore practically exhausted and
the output limited to n low-grade pro-
duct, where profit, II any, is limited
10 cents per ton instead Of dollars, the
lsasz
den greater than the industry can bear
and has resulted in the closing down
Of hundreds of mines in the state.
In 1917, according to the United
States Geological Survey there were
7lS producing mines in Colorado. In
1920, according TO the same authority,
there were only 2sS.

BAD WEED PEST MAKES
APPEARANCE IN STATE
DANGEROUS To TIRES
Thrives Luxuriantly Along Roadside
In Dry Sunny Places. Punctures
Bicycle Tires as Well as Those On
Motor Cars Where il is Abundant

Recently the Puncture Vine has
found its way into Colorado from Ne
braska and Arizona. During the past
season several specimens Of this plant
have been received by DR.. A. X. Pelt-
crson Of the Colorado Experiment Sta
ton for Identification. This plant,
which is 4 native of the Sahara Desert,
has been carried into the eastern and
western seaports to the United States
on ballast From there il has spread
so that at present most of the south
crn states are infeced with the pest.
The plant, which is boanically
known as Tribulus Terrpstria, is q low
PROSTATE herb spreading over the
ground very much in the same fashion
as the common doorweed and some
times covering a space of several feet.
II seems to thrive most luxuriantly
in dry, sunny places, especially along
the roadsides where il frequently
sends its PROSTATE SENS out into the
beaten path. Here il has gained the
acquaintance of not few persons
hurrying along the road on a bicycle
or driving a motor car. At every joint
of its much -branched runners is a
bur formed by five nutlets. Each
nutlet bears two or more stout, stiff
spines quarter Of an inch or more
in length which always point upwards
when the bur lies on the ground. In
certain localities in southwestern Cali
fornia, where the Puncture Vine is
very common, this bur is the cause
of more than fifty per cent of tire
punctures on bicycles and also a large
number of automobile tire punctures.

TEMPERS THE WINTER
TO THE STOCkMEN

Montrose Press
Some one has faceiioUsly said tha;
the winter has been tempered to the
shorn Democrats. However, this may
be. the winter has been tempered TO
the shorn stockmen-
With such unprecedented warm
weather, stock are wintering easily
and with 4 minimum Of hay. No one
can estimate the saving that has been
made the stoekmen by reason Of the
unprecedented warm weather. Il has
saved thousands of dollars of feed
which the stockmen were in no posi-
tion TO buy. There was plenty of
feed here and low priced, but this
winter has saved buying it.
Old residents of the valley declare
they never saw such an ideal winter
One stoekman was heard TO say that
the mild winter has literally saved a
great many stoekmen from going
broke.

"HITCHY KOO" TELLS
BANKRUPTCY REFEREE
HOW HE WENT BROKE

New York, July 29.-Raymond
Hitchcock. the comedian who re-
Gently filed a voluntary petiti IN in
bankruptcy gave evidence today in
support of the claim that he was
broke.
He told Referee Townsend that
the frolicsome show "Hitchv Koo,"
caused his downfall, leaving him
with only notes, pawn ti7kets and
scenery. The show begged down
az Philadelphia, he explained, and
re bad to pawn a watch that Ola
mond Jim" Brady had given him
in order to buy railroad tickets for
the chorus girls.
The referee, seeking to learn of
the comedians assets which he
listed at $125, asked about his town
house, his country place on Long
Island and his automobile, Mr
Hitchcock said his wife owned
them all. He denied newspaper
reports that there had been moon
light bathing parties at his coun-
try place, or aesthetic dancing in
the pink light of dawn.
The actor declared his liabilities
were too numerous to mention
within two hours, so the case was
adjourned to August 9.
