POSTAL BUSINESS
HEAVIER THAN EVER

Postmaster Thorson reports the post
al business at the local postoffice dur
ing the recent holiday period the
heaviest ever experienced in the his
tory of the office.
Under the present parcel post regu-
lations when it is possible to send al
most anything by mail from a roll of
'barbed wire to barrel of sauer kraut,
it is little wonder that the business Of
this and every other postoffice in the
land has increased.
However, the educational campaign
started few years ago has borne
fruit and the advice, "Do your Christ
mas shopping early" was given better
heed this year than ever before, and
hence the congestion was not so heavy
on one or two days as formerly, but
the heavy work was better distributed
over several days, much to the delight
of Mr.. Thorson and his office force.

cat hearingspten days or stwo
weeks ago. Judge Symss said id a
statement, "the court refused an offer
of certain parties to advance the money
necessary to pay the Jan. interest on
the underlying bonds because it ihdi-
rectly committed the court to the re-
organization plan and to certain other
procedure in advance. 1t Sapears, as
far as can be determined at this time,
that the interest has not been earned.
"Since then the court has stated the
terms upon which it would authorize
the receiver to borrow money to pay
this interest These have been accept
ed by q certain group of New Workers
representing, it is assumed, the COM
mittee Of the bondsmen now in de
fault. The arrangement is set forth in
the order now entered the money hav-
ing been deposited to the credit of the
receiver.
"The court has been very anxious to
avoid a default, if possible, in the un-
derlying bonds. The terms under
which the Rio Grande railroad is using
$81, 100000 are unusually advantage
Gus and should not be disturbed, if
possible, irrespective of any organiza.
tion plan. Some of the underlying
bonds draw interest at 4 per cent and
others at Az per cent and have de-
fault provision. These $s1 900, 900
would have to be replaced at rate
of not less than 6 or 6A per cent.
"This would result in very great
increase in the fixed charges of the
road, the one thing that should be
avoided, if possible. The $1,500,0OO to
be advanced will take care of all un-
derlying interest due or to become due
between now and May 81, 1924, with
out using or impairing in any way
funds now in the hands of the receiver
This will enable the receiver to pro-
ceed without interruption with the i'm
provement program until such time as
the receivership is closed in the usual
manner.'

DR. KELLER VISITS PARENTS

DIR. and Mrs. G. David Kelker, re-

home of the Doctors parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. W. Kelker of 925 Pitkin ave-

While here, George is calling on a
number of his old friends of the early

DIR. Kelker's trip to the east was as

were gathered up in Pacific coast
towns and taken to Ellis Island from
which point they will be returned to
the foreign countries from whence they
came.
Some of these people were the lowest
kind of criminals, some were insane,
and all were undesirables so far as
this country is concerned.

IMPROVE CEMENT MIXTURE
Samples Tested in the Hope Of OBJ
tanning Better Results in Con-
crete Construction.

Chicago has what may be termed
''sand library" In a series of glass
covered cabinets in the structural ma
terial research laboratory at Lewis
institute are row after row of little
glass bottles filed with sand that have
been brought to Chicago from various
corners of the world to be tested In the
institute in the hope Of producing what
engineers might regard as an ideal con-
crete mixture
1t is probably the only collection
of its kind in existence, and the in
formation contained on the labels of
the bottles gives an interesting insight
into the part that science is playing
in modern undertakings.
This sand library was started ten
years ago and specimens have been
added from time to time until there
are more than $500 different bottles
of sand in the collection. The spec-
mems come from every state in the
Union and from Canada, Cuba Mexico
and other foreign countries.
Each sample has been carefully
tested and the results of the test are
kept in the files. They include the
source of the specimen. the grading,
silt content and the results of the
colorimetric test for organic impuri-
ties. In most instances mortar and
concrete tests also have been made.
The reasons for the tests were to as
certain the suitability of the various
sands for concrete and mortar work.
The experiments with the various
sands were undertaken at the labora-
tory as part of the work OF ascer-
tanning methods that will assist the
concrete user in obtaining the best re-
suits in the use of the material

Perceptible? As daylight came into

stronger than ever before. She did
not dare believe 1t. But 1t was so
The shallow, hurried breathing be-
came more regular. Nurse Hambley
looked into the face Of the weeping
wife across the bed.
"Oh, 1 believe he'll livel" she said.
Nobody answered her. All were
staring at Ned Pycraft, for he had
stirred for the first time in days. And
slowly the eyelids fluttered open. Ned
Pycraft recognized his wife and
smiled.
After that he grew stronger mo-
mentarily. When the doctor came
in about nine o'clock there was no
longer any doubt that he had survived
the crisis. Ned Pycraft was mutter-
ing. He was asking for his bank
book

Denver, Jan. 2.-The Denver & Rio
Grande Western Railroad company
was saved a possible sale at auction
today when United States Judge
Symes signed an order permitting Re-
ceiver T, H. Beacon to borrow $500
600 to be used in paying $1,129,000 in
terest on underlying bonds which was
due yesterday. The offer of the loan
was made by the junior bondholders
whose holdings total $3l, 100000 and
$1O,ooO,OOo in secondary mortgages
which would be imperiled in event of
a foreclosure upon default in the pay
ment of the interest.
The court order docs not name the
source of the loan, but it is known
generally that Judge Symes and Re-
ceiver Beacon have been considering
two offers, one from the junior bond
holders, through the Bankers Trust
company of New York and the New
York Trust company, and the other
from the Western Pacific and Missouri
Pacific railroads.
The court order for the acceptance
of the loan provides that if the loan
negotiations are approved by the Inter
state Commerce commission, receivers IS
certificates will be issued in return
for the money, but if the commission
does not approve it will constitute only
a receivers debt. The Western Pacific
and Missouri Pacific roads are said to
hold approximately $s,ooo,0oO in Sec
ond mortgages Of the road.
The action of Judge Symes allowing
the acceptance of the loan will enable
the road to also pay the other interest
which will fall due on April / and
June /, it is said.
Commenting on the order, Symes said
that this will enable the road to pro-
ceed under the receivership plans with
its rehabilitation program, which lat its
inception involved the expenditure of
approximately $16,OOO,oOO, without
drawing upon the resources which
have been set aside for that purpose
only.
The acceptance of the loan will have
no bearing whatever on the proposed
plan for refinancing the road which
