pass this year arrived in Glenwood
Wednesday, May 2. This is much ear

former years and a few days earlier
than workmen believed they could

arrived in Leadvlle at one o'clock p.
m. The only bad part in the road was
about ons-half mile this side of the
top, where the car had to be pulled
by team. By Saturday or Sunday
however, it is expected that the road
will be In first class shape and people
from the East can be safe in making

RIO GRAND WRECK
TAKES LIFE TOLL

A serious wreck occurred on the Rio
Grande Western early this morning at
Woodside, Utah, when eastbound train
No. 2 left the track, due to spreading
rails, and part of the train plunged
into the Green river, with the result
that one engineer and one fireman on
the double header were killed, and
three passengers also lost their lives,
according to meager reports received
in Glenwood.
The Post was unable to learn the
names of the engineer or the passengers
who lost their lives, but the dead fire
man is Albert Anderson, whose 'home
for many years has been at Antlers in
this. county, and who has been en-
ployed by the Bio Grande road for the
past IA years. Anderson was broth
er of Mrs. Ward Strickland and Miss
Florence anderson of this city, and
was known to>some of our people.
Anderson had suffered several mar
row escapes from Injury or death dur
ing his service with tAs company, and
realizing the dangerous ~sharacter Of
his work he and his broher hal re-
Gently bought ranch near Nlt and
Albert had planned to leave the>rail-
road service in short time to engase
in ranching. ~
On receipt Of the sad news Mr.
Strickland and Miss Florence Anderson
left by auto for Grand Junction, where
the body was being conveyed. Traffic
was delayed by the wreck for twelve
hours. t

CARL B1Rsr WINS GOLD MEDAL
N oRAro11oAL CONTEST

The annual orat6rical contest of the
Garfield County High school was held
at the Junior High Triday evening,
April 81. An sppreciatiye audience
welcomed every contestant. The quail.
lty Of work was above that Of last
year and the topics treated were of
current interest and Importance.
All of the orations showed careful
research and preparation. Carl First
won the contest by a close margin.
His oration was on "America Sr-
preme Duty" Second place was won
by Donald Campbell n The Futurt
of Aviation in America.''
Carol Miller's grafton on "The
World War Debt" Joe Guadnola's on
Patriotism and Clarence Moore Is
on Americas Supreme Duty were
all worthy of high commendation. The
good that all the participants have re-
ceived in this work cannot be over
estimated. Public speaking is receiv-
ing more attention each year and is
now given credit at our best universi-
ties.
Carl First's oration and Theodore
Torrey 's essay were submitted for the
state contest at Boulder which will be
held May IL.
While the judges were rendering
their decision Ethel Nestell, winner of
the oratorical contest last year, gave
her grafton on Americas Supreme
Duty" i
Next year is sure to find an increas-
ed number of contestants for oratoric-
al honors.

HOUSE OF DAVID IS
A VILE NEST OF SIN

Grand Rapids, Mich, May 2.-Dam-
ages for nearly $4,000 were granted
today to John W. Hansel, who with his
family, was expelled from the House
of David, in suit against Benjamin
Purnell, head of the colony, in a de-
cision rendered by Judge John Safer.
The decision held "that immoral and
criminal conditions and teachings, un-
douhtedly existed in the colony. The
court was severe in its implied con-
demnation of conditions in the colony.
1t is inconceivable that Hansel, or
any sane person, would enter the colony
for permanent residence, had disclosures
Of immortality been made" the deci.
sion said.

Federal Plan to Render Def.
Unite Service to Farmers I
Improved Methods
A MODERN PROGRAM

Washington, May 1.-The United
States department of agriculture an
about improved methods of feeding live
stock in the United States. The plan
is to bring the knowledge of up-to- date
feeding methods to the attention Of
every live stock feeder in the country;
and, in cooperation with state agricul-
tural colleges, county extension agents,
and other agencies interested in the
betterment Of the live stock of the
nation, to problems.
Ever since the beginning of the
Better Sires-Better Stocko cam
paign, which has enrolled more than
100000 head of live stock for i'm
provement by means of better methods
of breeding, there has been a demand
from stockmen over the entire country
that the government inaugurate a bet
terfeedipg campaign. A large pro-
portion of inquiries on live stock prob
lens received by the department from
farmers of the country seeking in
formation on feeding. The plan which
has been evolved is expected to render
definite service to those who ask for
feeding help, and also to bring a
knowledge of better feeding methods
to many who would not make inquiries.
That good feeding methods are known
and practiced by the more experienced
live stock owners in the United States
is shown by the good condition and
finish of a proportion of animals ap-
pearing Mt stockyards, and by good
records in production made by some
feeders. But the proportion can be
made larger with benefit to the indi-
vidual grower and to the nation, ac-
cording to department live stock spe-
cialists. A conservative estimate based
on careful survey of American farms
shows that there are IA million head
Of runty animals in the country. A
majority of nearly 1000 farmers who
commented on the situation stated
that adequate and proper feed are the
principal means of preventing runti-
ness in animals. The tremendous
mortality among young animals is
largely attributable, also, to lack of
proper care and feed up to and includ-
ing weaving time. These, and other
facts, point to the CREST need for more
general practice Of better feeding

Will Not Longer Resist the
Injunction Obtained by
Attorney General
LEADERS ADMIT LOSS

Chicago, May 2.-Leaders of the
striking railroad shopmen have aban-
doned their case in defense against
the federal injunction obtained by At
torney General Harry NJ. Daugherty
last September. They announced that
their principal contention had been
upheld.
This announcement by counsel for
the defendants, coming "a hours in
advance Of the hearing of the govern
ment's application for permanent in
junction, caused Blackburn 7sterline,
assistant solicitor general of the United
States to interpret the action of the
defense as amounting to default,
which he termed fiasco.
After announcing that all of the at
torneys for the defense had withdrawn
at the request of the officers Of the
Railway Employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, Donald
R. Richberg of defense counsel ex-
planned that the shopmen were salts
fled with the situation and that the
government could find such satisfaction
as they could and do as they wished
in the case.
A letter from the attorneys of the
defense declared the suit involved the
right to strike. The government had
called the strike a conspiracy and its
primary purpose was to seek to estab-
lish that concerted refusal to accept
wages and working conditions as fixed
by the railroad board was unlawful.
In this connection the shopmen 3
leaders referred to the supreme court
decision in the case Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad against the labor board
in which the court held it was not
compulsory to abide by the board g
decision, although holding there was a
moral restraint to do 20.

RAILROAD MERGER
UNDER ADJUSTMENT

Commissioner Henry Clay Hall of the
Interstate Commerce commission con-
tinued the hearing in Denver on the
proposed railroad merger until last
Friday, taking vast amount of tcsti-
mony which will be presented to the
'entifo~ ~eomnissins. IN Washington. Tbe
five days given to the Colorado hear
ing are believed to have accomplished
much toward averting the danger of
Denver being left on a side etrack, and
in showing the Importance of the Moi
fat road
The plan of consolidating the Den
yer & Rio Grande Western and other
Colorado roads with the Santa FSe,
with the result that little transconti-
mental traffic would pass through this
state, was clearly shown to be disad-
vantageous to the public, and harmful
to Colorado The Santa Fe contention
was that the Rio Grande was a weak
ling and would be the source of heavy
.
losses which could not be afforded by
the Burlington, with which Denver and
Northwestern Colorado desire to group
it, with the Moffat road and the Mof
fat tunnel. Opposed to this, positive
evidence was brought out showing the
Rio Grande was more than self sup.
porting and that its troubles were due
entirely to Wall Street manipulation.
Not only this, but it was clearly
shown that by building the Dotsero-
Orestod 41-mile connection and giving
the Rio Grande an outlet to Denver
over the Moffat road and through, the
tunnel, that system would be put in
shape to handle vastly greater amounts
of traffic and become much more
profitable property. Further, it was
made plain that the extension of the
Moffat road from Craig to Salt Lake
City would make this a link in the
shortest and best route across the
country. and wohd bring the develop
ment of Northwestern Colorado and
Northeastern Utah, nm area con a n +.
ing more natural wealth than any
other territory in the United statcs.

vincing evidence that Commissl, a.r

he had no immediate jurisdiction other
wisc than to tak. testimony and aear

ever, as favoring such merger plan as
would accomplish Tie greatest ultimate
gotd. That this would be for the
Moffat road and the Rio Grands to
