The new industrial town of Burnham i growing rapidly and property values there have shown a steady increase lately. The town seems to have an ideal situation for its purpose, that of affording a good residence community for the many workers in the surrounding mills and factories.

CARS ARE "FOR SALE"

Disclosure at the Hearing at Seattle on the Matter of the Shortage of Care. SUPPLIED FOR REVENUE ONLY "What's the Car Worth to Yon?" the Question Asked a Shipper. On the Reply Depends Whether the Shipper Gets It or Not Worth SIO to the Train Conductor. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 23. Evidence Indicating that lumbermen have been paying money to railroad employes to have cars "spotted" on their tracks was introduced, before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Franklin K. Lane nt the hearing on the car-shortage ques tion. Charles E. Patton, president ol the Reliance Lumber company, and Tire president and secretary of the Atlas Lumber and Shingle company, made the statement during the course of his examination. Patton had been giving some facts and figures showing that there was an apparent discrimina tion In the distribution of cars at Tacorna among the mills. Somebody Was "Buying" Cars. "IIow do you account for this dis crimination?" asked Commissioner Lane. "Only that somebody was buy ing cars," replied the witness. "What is a common salutation among lumbermen concerning this purchasing of cars?" asked Austin E. Griffith, who is conducting the examination for the lumbermen. "Well, a very common salutation among lumbermen is 'What is the price today ?' " said Patten. "The price of cars runs from $10 to $0 a car. some weeks ago the superintend ent of our mill at Tacoma saw a very large car being switched around. He asked the conductor If we were going to get that car. The conductor asked him how much it was worth to him. The superintendent said that while we wanted that car pretty badly we were not going to nay for it. The conduc tor said that it was worth $10 to him, and we did not get the car." Custom a Universal One. In cross-examination E. J. Cannon, attorney for the Northern Pacilic, wanted to find out the names of ship pers who had paid for cars and the names of employes who had received) the monev. Commissioner Lane de murred about going into the mat ter, and remarked that it was a matter for the railroad company to investigate. "But we uis pute that any such practice exists." said Cannon. "The commission has testimony from till over the country that the practice is a pretty universal one," Commissioner Lane said. The matter ended there. NOT "WHAT THEY WANTED Didn't Find It Out. However, Until It Could Not lie GotDenver, Jan. 23. Interstate Com merce Commissioner Prouty told attor neys for George J. Kindel, the local manufacturer who complains against a number of railroads, that so far they had failed to show conclusively that freight rates to Denver were unrea sonaoie. r earing tnat tne case was getting away from Kindel and his attorneys A. J. Spengel, president of the Chamber of Commerce, through his attorney asked leave of Commissioner Prouty to intervene. This move at first puzzled Kindel and his lawyers, because the Chamber Of Commerce had contributed money to help along Kindel's action, but President Spengel later explained that too much weight had been given to the question of rate per ton per mile since the hearing began, and that was not what was wanted by Denver merchants; instead they wanted Denver to be given the same rights, terminal and other, as Missouri river points. The defense began offering testimony late In the day and a representative of the Union Pacific railway explained the system of rate making. Senators Chosen. Chicago, Jan. 23.

While the house was considering the diplomatic bill Cousins said tbat the foreign affairs committee "Believes that all for eign positions of the United States should not be commanded by million aires.

President and Live Stock Men Do Not Harmonize as to Ranges. HE .WANTS NATIONAL CONTROL Live Stock Men Shy at That Idea At tack on the Tariff and the Railways. Denver, Jan. 23. The national live stock convention is in session here and the speakers all know what they want and don't mind saying so. The tariff question was discussed by Attorney S. II. Cowan, of Texas, who said that powerful trusts, which want high protective tariffs to keep out European competition were ruining the live stock Industry. Germany and other foreign nations were boycotting United States meats because of the high tariffs of this country. E. If. Harrlman, the railroad magnate, was criticised by Cowan, who said the government was too late in taking action against the Union Pacific and allied lines, which he said were in a combination to restrain trade. Warns 'Em Against the Railways. "The railroads are saddling a worse feudalism on this country than was ever tried before." said Cowan. "The rights of the people are lost and swallowed up by these so-called captains of industry. There never was a time wlun you need to bo organized more than at present. The railroads have not lost their power at Washington. Although the railroad rate bill was passed by congress the railroads have not lost their cunning." Message from the President. Gifford Pinchot. of the government forestry department, delivered greetings from President Roosevelt to the stockmen and the following message "That In his (the president's) judgment the government control of the public range is evidently coming, and coming quickly. That it is right that it should come. That he believes It is for the best interest of all users of the public domain, including live stockmen. that it should come soon, and that, as government control of the public range Is one of the fixed policies of his ad ministration, he would be glad to get the advice of this association as to tho form it should take for the best interest of all concerned." Hits a Bone of Contention. The matter of governmental control of public grazing lands in Colorado, and throughout the west has long been a bone of contention in the ranks of the stock growers.
