Dream Of Our Senator Ca||en
Apparently to be Realized
in Near Future
IT OPENS A GOOD FIELD

Commenting on the prospects for the
early construction of the road from
Silt, up Divide creek and over into
the Plateau valley country, the pro-
ject for which Senator Callen of this
county secured an appropriation the
Plateau Voice makes the following en-
eouraging comment
The Divide creek cutoff road for
which the people of Plateau valley
have been in need and which they
have striven to secure for a number Of
years, now seems assured, according
to Mr.. Frank Temple, solicitor for
funds in the Collbran district.
The forest services offer to cod
tribute $500 if like amount was
raised toward the construction of this
much needed highway, has been met
by the proposed allowance of the board
of county commissioners of $3.50 and
the citizens to raise like subscription
in money and work.
Mr., Temple informs the Voice that
the amount is so nearly completed here
that, by the time solicitors at Silt in
Garfield county, and those in the lower
end of Plateau valley made their re-
ports, there is no question but that the
project will be a go.
This is the best news that has fallen
on the ears of the whole people of the
valley in many years.
When this cutoff road is completed,
and no doubt but that the state COM
mission will give it a substantial boost,
it will be one of the first means of the
development of the Plateau valley, and
worth thousands of dollars to the peo-
pie every year.
Not only shortening the mileage to
Glenwood Springs by 25 to 30 miles,
but it will follow as the night the day,
that the road will be recommended as
detour of the Pixies Peak Ocean to
Ocean highway. This will mean that
hundreds of tourists will come through
the Plateau valley to Grand Junction
over the greatest scenic highway on
the Western Slope.
Now, in this connection, Collbran
people will become interested in pro
viding tourists camping ground
That this is already needed there is nc
question. However, it should become
reality as soon as work on the cut
off highway begins-and this will be
in the near future.
Other things will follow, that vii
yet arouse plenty of enthusiasm among
the people of Collbran and the Platear
valley, the most fertile and productive
spot on the Western Slope.

Railway Officer criticises
Vitrioiic Speech on the
Freight Rates
FACTS ARE MIss1ATED

Cnlca&O - an. l.-Samuel L.. FELTON,,
president of the Chicago Great West
ern railway and chairman of the West
ern railway presidents COMMITTEES on
public relations, today sent an open
letter to Senator elect Henrik Ship
stead of Minnesota, criticizing him for
alleged Misrepresentation of railway
matters in speech in Washington
Dec. 8. Mr.. FELTON, declared railway
leaders who supported Mr.. Shipstead
in his campaign seek the adoption of
the Plumb plan of government owner
ship aid employment management of
the railways, but that the public will
determine the future of the roads.
Mr.. FELTON, took up the senator elect 3
reported Statement that "Farmers ship
sheep and then get bills for
the balance of freight charges due;
what they get for the sheep will not
even cover the cost of shipping
On the day the speech was made,
Mr.. FELTON, said sheep sold at South st.
Paul for 6 cents pound, or $3.50 for
carload of 10000 pounds. The fre ght
rate from Northfield, Mimi, a repre-
sentative point, was $3.50, or less
than 2l4 per cent of the selling price.
Sheep sold in Chicago the same day at
6E cents, or $500 for a l2,0O0-pound
carload. The freight rate from North
field to Chicago is $3.50, or s per
cent of the selling price, Mr.. FELTON,
said. From Crookston, MINI, to South
st. Paul the freight would be $5l.45,
or 5.3l per cent of the sale price.
- Another statement made by you,"
continued MIR. FELTON,, "was as fol-
lows:
| $50 A railroad train operated by five
men now can carry ten times as much
as could be carried twenty years ago,
yet, in spite of the great labor cost re-
duction per ton mile, it costs the farm
er more to ship, and labor does not get
enough to keep it from striking"
Mr.. FELTON, sad the average train
now hauls twice as much as twenty
years ago, instead of ten times as
much and that instead of labor cost
reduction there had been an increase
from 4.15 mills per ton mile in 1901
to 9.02 mills per ton mile in 1921,
while freight rates have advanced Al
per cent in twenty years.
"This great increase in the labo,
cost of operating the railroads is due,
of course,' he said, "to advances in
wages, and has been the principal
cause of the advance in freight rates
of which many farmers complaint

"Your constituents among the. farm
ers can hardly overlook the fact that
the real cause of the expensive opera

strike was entirely without justifica

for this condition as government bonds

eral school fund for distribution each
year $137 800 more than by the present
handling of this fund. 1t was shown
further that our rich coal beds on
school lands were being worked in
many sections of the state at present
and that the coal companies were pay
ing the small royalty of but 10 cents
ton for the coal. These rich coal
beds belonging to the school children
of the state should certainly be worth
more than the above amount, especial
ly in view of the fact that this school
coal when mined and delivered is worth
$500 per ton. The state land board
it seems has not negotiated as good
bargains in leasing these state school
lands as the council could recommend

SPEEDY Winds TO
AID long FLIGHTS
Must Ascend to High Altitude
For Long Distance Trips

Chicago, Aug. IA 12-hour non
stop airplane fight from the west
coast to the east coast is not an i'm
probability, and there is every reason
TO believe that this remarkable fight
VIII be realized within a short time.
according to Major r. w. Schroeder,
former holder of altitude records, and
one of.the first aviators to ascend to
a height OF more than $4,000 feet.
To negotiate the distance between
San Francisco and New York in this
short time, the aviator must ascend to
height OF more than 10000 feet in
order to set into what is called the
anti-trade Winds" Major Schroeder
said in explaining his theory of the
flight. These winds blow at a We
locity in excess of 100 miles an hour
and with the aid of the plane motor
humming at speed. say $50 miles an
hour, the flight can be accomplished,
providing that all conditions are fay-
orable."
Major Schroeder pointed out that
the higher flyer goes the slower his
mental faculties function.
Experiments have been going on
for more than year. he said, with
compartment which Is impregnable
to the admittance of air through any
but an authorized channel. BY at
taching, this channel to the super
charge of an airplane engine, the air
in this compartment can be kept at
a level equal to that from which the
aviator started. In case of any dis
organization of this system, an oxy-
gen tank has been placed in the COM
partment. The mechanical devices
on this tank start operating as soon
as the air in the compartment
reaches a certain low point, and in
this way adverse conditions within are
dissipated."
Major Schroeder, the aviator who
fell six miles and lived to tell about
it, explained that the construction of
the compartment was of very light
wood but that its durability has been
tested. The compartment has tri-
thickness of glass. and is fairly COM
Portable within, he said.
THE altitude a person can reach
now depends on human endurance
and not SO much upon the calibre
of the airplane," the aviator con-
tinued. My altitude flight before ! |
retired from the army was not to see
how high l could fly but to discover |
what plane could best be used for
Photographic purposes. MThat was the
main thought when l first assembled
into the air,
During the fight was blown con-
siderably off my course and it was
then that / though of the possibility
of the west 10 east coast fight with
the air of the anti-trade winds which
blow west to east. l think 1t is pos
sible, and that it will not be long be-
fore the country will be startled with
such an actual accomplishment"

DRESSES MADE SHORTER
Stambuliski Dies and Women Take
Advantage of the Passing OF His
Prohibitivc Law.

London, Aug. 1.-THE death Of
Stambuliski, former premier of Bull
garia, seems to have had more than a
political effect in his country. No
sooner was it confirmed, says a Sofia
news message. than the women in the
cities began to order and make new
dresses, and to buy new shoes with
high heels.
This is all due to the fact that
Stambuliski had ordered that wom-
ems dresses should be worn long, and
even described the exact length. He
also ordered that all shoes should
have fat heels and the police were in
structed to enforce these regulations.
Now the demand for dresses and
high heeled shoes in Sofia is so great
that tho shops cannot meet it.

REPRESENTATION PLAN
FOR GIANT REDWOODS
State of California is Busy With Pro-
jects For the Upkeep and Pro-
aduction of Trees.

San Francisco, Aug. II. - Califor-
MAS giant redwoods, some of which,
still standing, were saplings when the
Vikings first sighted the coast of
North America, and were good sized
trees when William the Conqueror's
Norman hordes landed on the shores
of England thousand years ago, will
have been entirely destroyed within a
short time, according. to the Califor-
mia Redwood Association here, unless
measures now being undertaken for
their reforestation prove successful.
Nurseries for young redwoods have
recently been established by two lum-
Der companies in northern California.
At Fort Bragg, Mendocino county,
100000 young redwood trees are now
growing from seed, sufficient num-
Der to reforest $500 acres year.
Enough additional young trees to re-
forest 1900 acres annually will be
supplied by this company in the near
future.
Another company, at Scotia, Hum
boldt county, has a redwood nursery
OF 100000 trees, while number of the
twenty-five redwood companies in
California have taken a practical in
terest in the reforestation.
Besides the nursery trees, about
one-fifth additional second growth lum-
Der is expected to sprout from the
stumps of old trees.
