MAKES TOUR OF CRAWFORD
SECTloN-ROADS ARE BETTE

What the Rawleigh man saw in the
last three weeks in travelling through
the Crawford and Hotchkiss sections
of the North Fork:
The Cattle men are getting rid of
lots of cattle and some of them bring.
ing home some pretty fair prices; the
grain men are selling, at present.
around $1.50 at the bin for wheat and
barley; oats around s125 and $3.50
at the bin. Hay seemingly moving at
$500 to $3.50 in the stack.
T. C. Falkner is building him a fine
new sawed log bungalow.
William Row has disposed of his
fine blooded Durham stock to valley
purchasers.
Some Of the ranchers took advan-
tage of the fine weather and did a
lot of fall blowing.
Numerous public auctions which put
a man out for job and another farm
for rent-this is especially the case on
Fruitland Mesa, where many places
are vacant.
The D. R. G. Brown ranch managed
by Ed Wiley has done lots of improv-
ing by pulling trees to clean the land.
making pond, and building barns.
Jesse Pratt is still very weak from
his recent attack of measles.
Aldine Dove is not able to exercise
much yet from his operation, but eat
ing hearty. Grandpa Dove very poorly
but up and around. Grant Dove haul
ing coal from the Farmers mine at
Paonia to Crawford.
Mr. Axtel is freightfng from Hotch-
kiss
Charley Carville is hauling from his
saw mill He expects to make bee
supplies for some of the bee men this
winter
Crawford is a lovely town in the
mountains and everybody seems to be
happy and new things can be expect
ed to happen every day.
l travelled the roads in East Delta
county eight years ago when Mr..
Mathews was county commissioner.
and since when Chas. Rule presided.
Roads are getting better year by year
and we also find the crossroads being
improved greatly in places.
Any amount of people are stin sort
ing apples and delivering them to the
cars at small sums for their work and
trouble, and the work goes on with
hopes of cheerful harvest. in the fu-
ture.

Railroads Fall Millions Short of Earn
Ing VI Per Cent Since 1920

The ridiculous assertion that the
Esch-Cummins act guarantees" earn
ings Of the railroads persists. The
Esch'Cummins act returned railroads
from government control (under which
they had been placed by the Demo
cratic administrator to private con.
troll. The act became effective March
l, 1920. 1t provided that for six months
the railroads should be guaranteed a
fair return" on their valuation. This
return was fixed at 51h per cent. I'm.
der the terms of the law, this guar
antee expired September /, 1920 Since
that time railroads have been going
"on their own" The United States has
neither guaranteed them any income
nor paid them a cent for operation
since that date.
Conclusive proof of this, II any were
needed, is furnished by the records of
the Interstate Commerce commission.
which show the following facts:
During the last four months Of 1920
the railroads actually earned 1920.
5S3,S7S This is $2O5, ,S33,242 short OF
being 5h per cent or fair return on
their valuation.
During the Calendar year 1921 5h
per cent return on their valuation
would have been $1,1OS ,297O8O They
actually earned $615, ,945,614. or $492,.
231 ,466 less than 51a per cent.
During the calendar year 1922 their
actual net income was $3O8. 1888
less than 51s per cent.
To recapitulate. during the 35
months period-September 1, 1920, to
August /, 1923-during which the rail.
roads have been on their own basis,
their net icome has been s1,O29. .672.-

What the President Exp.ets

There can be no mistaking the at
ttude OF President Coolidge toward
law enforcement. or Of the obligations
as he understands them, that rest up
on all National and State enforcement
officers, from himself down through
the States He makes no distinctions
between prohibition, immigration,
narcotic and public peace laws. He
includes all lawless elements In his
sweep OF enforcement Of laws as they
stand. After this "toclsn" from the
White House, there will have to be a
modification Of the cognomen Silent
Cal' that has been applied to the
President since his installation I'm the
executive chair.-Cincinnat Enquirer
