BUSINESS MEN CONFER
WITH Rio GRANDE OFFICIAL

An important meeting of farmers.
stockmen and business men was held
at Montrose Saturday which began
at noon and continued throughout
most of the afternoon. Fred Wild,
traffic manager of the D. & R. G. was
present and listened to the statements

also offering valuable suggestions re.
garding the course to pursue.
The object of the meeting was to
lay some important facts before the
railroad company, as well as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
A. w. McAnally of Montrose spoke
on the sheep situation; Frank Meaker
and C. o. Earnest on the hog problem,
A. D. Fairbanks of Delta on the rates
on farm machinery, ores. coal and all
raw materials, declaring that the
combined expenses of freight, labor
and materials had made the price al
most prohibitive. He added, however,
that he believed high priced and in
efficient labor were largely respon-
sible for the high prices of farm ma
chinery.
There were several other speakers
on the subject of rates and conditions
as they applied to the Western Slope
Mr.. Wild stated that he was very
glad to have the opportunity of talk
ing things over with these persons
and suggested that they prepare a
written statement setting forth the
facts extant over here. as he wished
to have it for reference and also to
present to the Interstate Comme. ce
Commission.
He held out little rope. however. OF

washington, Feb. 15.-"After read
ing statistics compiled by the Savings
Banks Association of the State of
New York estimating that Great Bri-
tain's wealth has increased hundred
billion dollars as a result of the war
it is difficult to have any patience
with those who urge that the United
States should cancel its credit of less
than five billions due from the United
Kingdom" declares the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
1.-THE Savings Banks Association ci-
tes the changes brought about during
the war, largely as a result of the
war, in the affairs of the principal
nations, and concludes that since 1914
the wealth of the United States has
Increased $50,0OO,OO0,00O while, for
obvious reasons, the wealth of Great
Britain has increased 800, 100000, 600.
"The increase in the wealth of the
United States has occurred, of course,
wholly within our own borders, much
of it due directly and indirectly to the
huge war business which brought us
a net favorable trade balance of some
&16, 100000 or more. Increased
market values of real and personal
property, especially of productive
agencies, makes up the balance.
Great Britains increased wealth is
ritory. or what is practically an ac-
QUESTION. The big gain, says the
Savings Banks Association, is due to
the wealth added by the Mesopota-
mian oil fields, African territory taken
from Germany, and elimination of
Germany as a trade competitor
"Of course, Great Britain has for
the time being only an ostensible man
datory over the immense German col
onies in Africa, but the terms and con-
ditions are such that for commercial
and all other practical purposes, Ger
man East Africa. and German South
West Africa have become British colo
nial possessions. German East Africa
lies just North of colonial possessions
long under the control of Great Bri-
tain, and in the direct route of the
Cape-to-Cairo railroad. From the
standpoint of strategic Importance in
the development of her African trade
Great Britain could scarcely have
wished for anything more fortunate
than to have this vast region fall in
to her hands. It is region Of great
but as yet undemonstrated agricul-
tural possibilities and of mineral and
forest wealth. 1t is $4,000 square
miles in area, or a territory equiva-
lent to the combined area Of our
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
1t is quite within the possibilities that
German East Africa may become as
great wealth producer as the region
in the United States embraced with
the borders of the states named.
'Tn securing mandate over Ger
man Southwest Africa Great Britain
acquires control Of an area nearly as
large as that farther North, and per
haps of as great productive resources,

of geographical location. German is

 It was different from the American Club, only in that it was less elabo-
 rate, and did not boast of roulette
 wheel. D. P. Giscoletti was arrested
 on a charge of running the place. and
 Tony Rodriguez, who was dealing for
 Giacoletti, according to the officers, on a charge of gambling.
 The International Club, on Brewery Guich. received the raiding band with
 hospitality, after Sheriff Hood stuck
 his foot through the frent door when somebody opened it from inside. The entertainment consisted of pastimes similar to those found in the other clubs. Joe Blaneo accompanied the officers to the police station on a charge of operating the club:
 At the M. and M. Club, on Main street, the entertainment was not so interesting. The deputy sheriffs were admitted after knocking at the coer, and although there was an elaborate outlay of gambling paraphernafa in- side, the men were all sitting around the edges of the room as far from the tables as they could get and with the apparent desire of getting further. It was clear that nobody. had ever gambled there and the officers left after expressing thinks for the cour. tesy shown them. No arrests were made.
 An apartment oyer the Hermitage on Brewery Gulch, was visited, but no gambling was found in progress and no arrests were made.
 At the clubs where arrests were made the names of those present were taken for witnesses. At the Italian and Mexican Cocial Club, the club roster with the names of officers and members was taken. The member ship includes some prominent resi- dents in the select, circle.
 Before the raids were over crowds had gathered on Brewery Gulch to watch the reception and to wonder what the grand idea could be. That clubs have been running so freely for the social and intellectual advance ment of the community should be sud- denly visited was mystfying.
 Sheriff Joe Hood said last night that, most Of the clubs hero are operat- ing under state charter, and that he has taken the matter up with the at-' torney general in an attempt to have the abuse stopped. He explained that it is a difficult matter to enter a club holding a state charter, that has a right to lock the doors and exclude all but members, and obtain suffi- cient evidence to convict on charges of gambling. In the past, he said, it has been impossible to, secure convic- tions on gambling charges regardless of the evidence obtained, but in spite of this he is going to try again and will make a determined effort to put a stop to wide open gambling in any of the towns of the county.
