RATE INCREASE
HEARING TODAY
Application of Colorado Power
Company to Increase Rates
Before Utilities Commission; !;
Mining Interests Secure De-
lay of 80 Days to File Answer.

The hearing before the utilities
commission upon the proposed
increase of the Colorado Power
campany rates on power. came up
today in Denver. b. L. Whatley,
attorney of Denver, is represent
ing the mining interests, and has
secured stay of ninety days in
which to file answer to the pro-
posals of the power company, and
will petition for decrease in the
rates, claiming that the company
now is receiving too much for
power.
The mining interests of the Lead
vile and Clear Greek districts have
filed formal protests with the
commission and are expected to
oppose an increase being granted
on account of the present condition
of the mining industry.
The matter has been pending
before the public utilities commits
sion for more than a year. due
principally to the time required by
the Colorado Power company to
comply with an order of the COM
mission directing it to make an
inventory of-~all its property. in
Colorado. The order was issued
in January, 1920, but the inventory
was not filed until last Novem ber.
The inventory shows a valuation
of So. 819, 233 and a valuation of
SIS. .641 ,971 based upon the cost
of reproduction now as of Jan. 4,
1920.
The representatives of the users
of power in the district are contend
ing that the majority of III
$9,S19,233 valuation is fuctuated
and that the com pany's claim OF
cost of reproduction of $18,641 ,971
is unreasonable and unfair, and
does not represent the true cost Of
reproduction. The costs are now
being figured out by experts, and
will be made public soon.
Charles Veistenz, authority on
cost of electrical construction, is
working on the case, and he, with
r G. Lane and ID. J. Sayer, the
special committee from the Bureau
of Mines aud Commerce, met with
Mr.. Whatley in Denver last week
to arrange plan of action against
the proposed raise in rates. The
professors are expecting decision
granting a decrease in rates.

SALT LAKE Line
Burlineton's Failure to Secure
Rio Grande Likely to Now
Result In Extending of Moffat
Road to New Connecting
Line About to Be Built in Utah

A new turn in affairs involving
the sale of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad to interests repre-
senting the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, thru an order entered on
Saturday by Judges Robert E.
Lewis and Walter H. Sanborn in
the United States district court in
Kansas City, may result in the
immediate building of Goyernor
BAN berger's line from Provo into
the Uintah basin and an extension
of the Moffat road to meet the
Bamberger road, says the Routt
County Sentinel.
The Burlington interests have
long been preparing to secure
control of thru trunk line from
New York to San Francisco, all
under the same directing head.
but with different links still re-
tanning apparent independence.
Toward this end an alliance has
been made with the New York
Central lines, affording connection
between Chicago and New York,
nndx~plana- foE directs from
Denver to the Pacific coast were
apparently brought near to CON-
pletion by the purchase last De-
cember of the Rio Grande by a
committee of bondholders of the
Western Pacific representing Bur
lington interests which have for
some time controlled the latter line.
A majority of the Moffat road
bonds is also held by these same
interests, and it is an open secret
that the Burlington has been plan
ming to Immediately construct the
Empire tunnel, providing the Mof-
fat road with a route thru the
Continental divide at the lowest
and thinnest possible point, and to
make a connection between Ores
tod and Dotsero. A saving of 1872
miles in distance would thus be
made in the handling of transcon-
tinental freight and passenger
business.
A material change in the Bur-
lington plans may result from the
action of Judges Lewis and San
born at Kansas City, as their order
withholds confirmation of the sale
of the Rio Grande to the Western
Pacific bondholders. This is a
victory for the Union Pacific, which
thru its attorneys brought suit
in behalf of certain stockholders OF
the Rio Grande to have the sale
set aside on the grounds of alleged
fraud
If the attempt of the Union Pa
cific is successful in preventing its
rival from securing the Rio Grande
for use as an immediate connection
between its main line and the
Western Pacific, it is expected tc
result in the Burlington deciding

for the negative, was truly strong
speaker. His discourse was ohar.
acterized by dignity self confidence
and good poise. 1t also showed
clear, serious thought in prepara
ton. HIS arguments were easily
followed and convincing.
In refutation, as we'll as in con-
structive argument, the negative
side was far superior to the affirm
ative.
The debaters have worked hard
and patiently and Idaho Springs
should indeed be proud of them.
G. W. R. Hoy also deserves
great praise for his part in the
victory. He mas been faithful in
his work with the team, and the
young people are indeed fortunate
in having such a capable coach.
The judges were competent,
prominent men, well fitted to give
intelligent and unprejudiced de-
cisions. G. Fl. Gillette is assistant
manager of the Gates Rubber COM
pany in Denver, Prof. Boyce is
head of the science department of
the Golden high school, and the
third judge, Stanley Cochems of
Denver, is the city editor of the
News and Times. The nicely Of
judgment of the three men is
shown by the fact that the negative
side received unanimous decision.
After the debate a picture of the
opera house and the audience was
taken by Mr.. johnson, of the Fine
Arts studio, and will be used in
the high school annual.

PROTEST CLOSING

The following letter was addressed

Hon. E. NJ. Hudson, President,
Board of Commissioners,
Port of New Orleans,
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir:
We note that at the request of
Governor Parker, your Board will, in
a few days, hold special meeting
for the purpose of hearing all those
who are opposed to the proposed ex-
tension of the Poydras Street she'd
Since it is known that the number
of Orleanians who will object to any
encroachment whatsoever of the ex-
listing space between the Poydras and
Bienville Street sheds, may be num-
bered by the thousands, permit us to
suggest that said meeting be held on
the ground in question, instead of in
your comparatively small meeting
room at the out-of-the-way new court
house building
We trust that the reasonableness
of this suggestion will appeal to your
Board, so that a real test of public
sentiment may at once be attained
without the necessity for further mass
on the subject.
Anticipating an appreciated early
reply, we are, on behalf of the AL
giers Citizens Ferry Association.

In the interest of fair play, and to

All of the above-named ladies
cheerfully consented to serve and did
serve. There was no organization
effected, nor was there any chairlady
elected; each worked in the interest
OF the affair in whatever manner or
style best suited their experience and
ability.
The purpose was to relieve a dis
tressed situation, and should not he
capitalized by anyone-the glory in
doing good for your neighbor is a
great one, and each person contribut-
