MEADOWLARk.
Slver-ongued Ariel OF the uncropt mead
Thy changing melodies love to hear.
So loudly sweet, resonantly clear.
The vernal choiring oft hear thee lead;
Let the rude army of the north recede
But days march, and though the infant year
Have just had birth, above the landscape drear
Thy tones far ringing bid the loiterer heed
The territory wrung from the despoiler's greed

All Shippers, in Fact, All Citizens of
the Basin Should Get Be-
hind This Project.

According to advice received nv
the Durango Exchange yesterday
from Washington, the Interstate
commerce Commission will hold a
hearing in Denver on or about the
nrs' OF March for the purpose of
nearing arguments in connection
with the grouping of western rail.
roads.
AT this meeting the grouping of
the Denver & Rio Graude Western
railroad with some other and strong.
er railroad system will be thorough.
Iy discussed and the determine.
tions arrived at from this discuss ion
VIII have a far reaching effect on
the railroads of this state.
oi the most vital importance to
the San Juan basin, and all that
part OF Colorado being served at
this time by the Rio Grande sys.
TEN, is the fact that one of the
strongest railroad systems in the
world Is bidding for the grouping OF
the Rio Grande with its system
The latter is the great Santa Fe r.
K. company, known all over the
world, and especially through the
territory it serves, as the best rail.
road system in the United States
In this matter the Santa Fe is
meeting with opposition on the part
OF the Burlington and the Missouri
Pacific as we'll as the Western Pa.
cifc, each of which are strong con-
tenders for the grouping of the Rio
Grande with their lines.
When it comes to a choice OF
lines, there is no question concern.
ing the desirability of the grouping
Of the Rio Grande with the Santa
Fe, and especially is this true in
the San Juan and San Luis districts
where the most inefficient service
on the part Of the RioGrande is daily
in evidence. However, every city
and village in the entire state, witt
the possible exception of Denver,
will undoubtedly support the plar
of grouping the Rio Grande line:
with those of the strong Santa F.
system.
A strong effort will be made
throughout the Rio Grande terri
tory to procure the active coopera
tion of all business organization
and business men, and to secure th'
presence in Denver at the Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing, @
a many representatives from all @
the territory as may be prevailed
upon to participate.
There is widespread interest be
ing manifested all over the state il
Rio Grande territory on this ques
ton, and the support in favor o
grouping with the Santa Fe ar
pears to be almost unanim ous.-

FAKE ADVERTISING

VINO do nothing but think up
publicity schemes. Once thev
nave framed a catchy one they
beat 1t to the smaller towns to
unload on the merchant
who believes that any kind of
advertising is good advertis-
ing and who thinks that nov.
elites, and time cards, and
stock booklets with his name
upon them are actually busi-
ness getters. These young
men don't ply their trade so
much in the large cities, be-
cause there is usually a com
merclal club or a board of
trade ruling against just the
sort OF things they seek to dis.
pose Of. But in towns where
every merchant has to think
out his own plan of advertis-
ing, and where he hasn't tried
% understand the inside work
ings OF these fy-by-night
schemes, the waste of good
money goes right on. And the
funniest part of it is that the
merchant who bites actually
pays cash in advance and
takes the smooth young stran-
gers word for it that he is go,
ing to get more than his mon
ey's worth.
We are strong for every
kind Of advertising that viii
pay the man who advertiscs,
but we detest fakes. That is
why we spend a good deal of
time regretting that some mer
chants can't see that which
successful merchants long age
learned-that of all forms Of
advertising known to man
nothing has yet been found as
good as space in the home

MARRY EN- YOUNG.

This is the advice of Pitts
burgh woman,, who is a little
over los years old, after she
had given the hand of her
granddaughter in marriage,
and stood beside her through
out the service a few days
ago. This takes me back to
my girlhood. Every girl de-
serves a mate and protection
in this world. Young people
in my day believed in marry
ing early, although | am now
told too many prefer pleas
ures to the assumption OF
household cares.
"This is all wrong. My ad-
vice is, marry young. A hus-
band profits much by the ben
e6cial influence of a good wife
and she profits by his advance
ment.
A New York exchange says:
"Over one million pounds OF
copper will be recovered from

The copper was sunk jan ,'s ,s'
