.LUNBE ERMEN URGE. HANDS 0FF' POLICY
 REGARDING ROADS
Carriers Operating SatisfaC- toriIy At Present, Whole
 SalerS Here Say

Believing the railroads are operat- ing better now than in any other period, that freight is moving more satisfactorily and that present con trol should not be interfered with the Wholesale Lumbermen's club of Birmingham has gone on record with resolutions protesting against any further interference with the roads and condemning the demagogic atti- tude of several factions.
 The resolutions declare transporta- tion is being handled with ease and satisfaction to all, the greatest yol- ume of traffic ever transported is be- ing handled without trouble, and more 100000 cars were handled without confusion during a recent week.
 Attention is called to the economy of operation under the present man agement, the great improvements be- ing made, and that the growth of the industry since it was freed from fed- eral management has been phe- nomenal.
 After pointing out the develop ment in service seen. the Wholesale Lumbermen's club says;
 Re 1t resolved by this club, whose members, collectively, ship more than 10000 cars a year, that 1t is vitally interested in transportation problems and with that interest paramount it denounces the agitation going on throughout the country, prompted by ceortain politicians and demagogues, having for it's ultimate goal govern ment ownership oe railroads, as un- American, unwise and undemocartic. !"
 The club goes on record indorsinS the present management of the rail- roads and advocating that manage ment being given full and fair oppor- tunity to carry forward their present work along the lines they have laid out without further interference and restrictive national Legislation, with the matter of rate making left with the interstate commerce commission.
 Jay Smith Is secretary of the club and A. J. Rfbe secretary practically all wholesale lumbermen In the district are members.

 o O O
 Opposition Voiced.
 Opponents of the bill claimed 1t will give the commission too much authority and will work hardship on the railroads.
 The commission is given power to regulate, and opponents protested that this might lead to discrimlna- tion in commodities.
 MT. Cashe quoted differences in prices for different points and stated there was no tribunal which could now be applied to as the interstate commerce commission has no Juris- diction over the situation in Ala hama. He quoted rates to show that when cotton was shipped from an Alabama point to an eastern mil It was at a less cost than when IL was another Alabama point

nattering terms assuring the house.
wife that it is no trouble TO send goods
by mail; yet, when the service has
been tried the firms have taken the at
titude that sending goods, especially
groceries, by mail was very exasperat-
ing.
There are many firms who advertise
that no mail orders will be filled.
Thanks be to such firms. Definitness
Is always to be admireC.
A frown for the firms who are luke
warm in filling mail orders; grab your
cash and hold onto it, then hem and
haw and wrap the order up in unnec-
essary red tape and many times get 1t
SO tangled it takes several weeks to
unwind il.
Blessings on the big visioned firm
which considers courtesy to custom
er worth more than thirty cents.
No matter how strenuous the cir
cumstances may be in any situation,
isn't 1t the act involving courtesy that
fingers in the memory long after the
disagreeable things have passed into
oblivion?
By all means, let's have a mail-order'

To the TorchSearers

Once more we'll DO them honor,
Again well sing their praise
These brave who scorned life's pleasure
And lived laeorsous days
At last they know the answer
Men mad who die TO aaye-
The soldiers path Of glory
Doth not end At the grave!
The path continues onward
Beyond the gates Of dawn:
The Great Adventure leads them
Into a newer morn
They follow II with ardor
Beyond the Day Stars gieam
And In the coesnIe twilight
They md the Fields OF Dream
Weep not for these knights errant
Who braveiy went 10 roam,
For they are all together
Safe In the Porf OF Home
To US the ioss 10 bitter.
But theirs 10 greater gain:
They have outsoared earth's shadoyu
OF envy. hate and pain.
We barr our heads In HOMAGE.
In reverence bend the knee.
For those who fought the nght
That all men might be free.
And while spring Hephyrs murrnur
OF sacrifice sublime.
We deck their mounds with laureis
Each year In lilac time.

Gunnison, May 25, 1908

Dear Nary
As it is raining, I'll just curl up by
the window and write to you. Ought
to do some mending, but-oh we'll!
What are you doing these days?
went up TO the cemetery this forenoon
to rake over our burial lot SO it would
look nice before Decoration Day. VIM
Millard has been appointed sexton OF
the cemetery. The place looks quite
nea.. Henry Purrier donated flag
pole and the G. A. X. gave a beautiful
flag which will be used in the memori-
al services the Both.
This has been the dullest week I've
spent all spring. Hardly anything go
ing on. Expect there will be lot of
parties next week, SO many are en-
tertaining visitors.
Mrs. Fred Zugelder's two sisters
Misses Lena and Carolina Walters are
here from California. and Mrs. w. X.
McNeil's son, Oliver Lane, is spending
a couple Of weeks in town.
The lady next door says Mrs. A. ID.
Smith came home from the East last
night and brought her mother, Mrs.
]. w. Hough with her to spend the
summer.
There was a big wedding at Parlins
the goth. Miss Edna Parlin and Geo.
Crylie Of Salida were those uniting
"for better or worse" Mrs. Essie
Snodgrass went up to the wedding.
Had a letter from Jack yesterday.
He hasn't struck it rich yet, but still
has hopes. One of the men working
on the Akron mine, Mike Mullaney,
got his hand quite badly hurt.
Jack wrote that John Lupold sold
his ranch in Waunita Park to MI.
Monroe Of Doyleville.
thought 1t was funny Jack didn't
say anything about the new store
started by W. w. Woll and w. G.
Neiderhut at Tin Cup. Perhaps he
was too busy hearing about the Klon-
dyke from Dan Collins, who returned
the other day.
l was surprised to meet F. B. Eells
on the street the other day. He has
been at Mancos or over year. He has
back to stay he says. He was with
the MOntezuma Lumber Co. of that
place. This is the same company who
bought nine large draft horses from
Hugh Smith Of Pitkin. Whew! the
animals were big. One team weighed
3430 pounds. Mr.. Smith and w. T..
Goodaker had TO drive the animals
to their new location, as they were
too large to go into narrow gage
railroad car.
Jack said in his letter that the road
up the divide to Waunita was a dandy,
thanks to Commissioner Custer Of
Pitkin. Wish had horse, I'd drive
up that way.
When we were returning from the
cemetery this morning, we passed
George McAfee on the way. He has
bought the John O'Fallon ranch on
the Cochetopa.
Mrs. d. F.. Strouse and her two
daughters, Clara and Pearle, have
gone on pleasure trip to Wisconsin.
Wonder who will do the cooking ut
the Palisades hotel.
Well, had better do ssome cooking
of my own. It's nearly supper time
and not bit Of bread in the house.
Guess I'll send Helen down to the new
bakery, just started by Mrs. Sid Jones
and Mrs. Robinson.
Have told you all the news SO for
this time, good bye. Sincerely,
AGNES.

THE DAISY

(By Irene Judy in Kansas City STAR
Only little daisy,
Out in the garden gay,
Warmed by the dancing sunbeams
Kissed by the dews of May
Softly, the petals falling
Seems pearled with tears today.
Only a loyal soldier,
OF mid the trumpet's blare,
Kissed by smiling mother,
Breathing fervcnt prayer
Somewhere among the fallen,
He's sleeping over there.
Only little daisy,
Wooed by the winds of May,
Glory, courage and sorrow
Crowned in its petals gay Z.
Proudly, oh proudly wear il,
And reverently today.
