The ruilromlx, which all during the

anil that there wonlil ho plenty of
earn, iliil everything pohiihle to re

ihe hliippcri have nuuingcd In keep
the fruit tiiovintr slowly mid every
euiptv as fiihl n it ix delivered from
the fact i being rn-hcd to western
slope points. It i largely a ciiko of
fruit mnveineiit eyeei'ding the' rolling
stork capacity of the fornix, which
the luck of local Moriige facilities
niiikea ilonlilv unfortiiiiatc. Two years
ago n third of Ihe Montrose crop was
lost by rottini; an Ihe plntforin await
ing shipment mid at the present time
hoth the Montrose anad Delta dis
tricts are worse off than Grand June
tion in respect lo the car shortage.
This is 'partly ilu to the fnet (hat
they are off the main line of the rail
road, and all curs hoth go and come
through Grand Junction. It was
claimed that the hitter point was
stealing ll 'he cars, hut ns n matter
of fal'l there are few ears for any
jmint. It is estimated that during Hie
present week 1IMIII ears are needed to
ndeipiately handle the western slop)
fruit movement mid there are, scarce
ly n hundred available. All last week
the local shippers not out from 10
to l.'i cars daily, when 110 or 10 ears
should have hccii shipped if there
hud hccii the facilities.
I'ndcr these circumstances the
comparatively lew growers who sold
their crops as Ihcy sl 1 on the trees
to the agents of eastern houses who
have heen through all Ihe Colorado
fruit districts during the past two
There have heen a few cars of late
pears shipped during the past week,
Imt the great majority of the ship
ments havo heen apples or potatoes.
Caulaloiipes mid peaches nrc still on
the loscal market, but tire not up lo n
shipping standard. Hotchkiss, I'no
niu and Dell;!, where the the season
is later, are. still shipping Klberlas,
hut urn not getting ns high n price
ns local peaches brought three weeks
nuo. There have been sonio express
shipments of Tokay and Mnscnt
trrnpes of unusually fine stock, but
no (inutility shipments and iitate mar
kets have absorbed most of the out -(jo.
Concord grapes lutvfi been very
scarce.
In the apple movement about 200
ears have gone out from the valley
(luring the l"'Nt l" ,U,VH Tn0 ,lif!n
prices (pioted on the Chicago market
for Colorado tipples lmvo heen re
flected here and the best. Jonathans
noil Grimes Golden have sold from $2
in . or. n box f. o. h. hern. A ear
of the former from Fruiln brought
$'.. on the Chicago auction mar
ket, netting Hit- growers tfiA ". The
:i ii box net received for n car two
weeks ngo is still the record for the
season. Wolf Rivers, Maiden lilnsh
and olher standard varieties live sell
ing for slightly loss.
The hip; pntnto movement is now on
all over the slope nnd every section
is reporting n big ('fop. At Fruita,
the spud center of the Grand valley,
about H00 curs nro expected, and
about half are nlrendy shipped. The
Plateau valley, nlso in Ibis county,
will ship n couple of hundred onrs of
extra high grnde polntoes.
The Montrose territory expects to
shin 1000 earn1 (luring the season,
which' are handled through Denver
commission .houses. Delta expects 200
a rs of spuds. Carlioiiilnle, the other
big potato center in thu statu this
sidu of thu iiioiiiilams, will ship ,000
cars from thu territory. .
With thu shortage of refrigerator
cars for fruit shipments from west
ern slope points daily growing more
serious, it was aunniiiiced Thursday
Hint the Armour car lino company
would turn over JillO additional re
frigerator cars for iininedinloiiso and
these, wilh cars the railroads are
promising "in a day or two" are ex
l ice led to materially relieve the sit
uation. Only prevailing lino weather
has prevented sciioiis damage ho far.

coughs and colds, or to ward off n
threatened attack of croup. For this
purpose we can recommend Chamber

proves beneficial. In ease of croup
it should ie given ns soon ns the

ness. For sale by Leon B. Haskins'

COFFINS TOO CHEAP,
MAKERS COMPLAIN
CINCINNATI, Oct. 21. The. bur
ial casket mniiuf neturcrs mid job
bers, in convention hero, uro dissat
isfied because the cost of dying has
not kepi paeii with the increased cost
of living, Tliey deprecate cut-rute
funerals, and tire proposing to cs
tablish uniform prices for the retuil
trade in coffins.
"We coffin makers want the un
dertakers to help us out more than
they do," said one delegate. "We
want the undertaker lo make slif'fer
bills, and then we can get more for
our goods. Why should we have to
pay double what we used to pay to
live mid let people din cheaply? It
isn't fuii and it isn't logical. There
are too many undertakers. They nre
culling each other's throats to get
business, and, what is more to the
point, they nro cutting prices. An
other thing, the supply of coffins is
great ": 'Itiin the demand; '.!::.'.' what
makes 'em so cheap.
"If n man wants a decent buriul
he ought to be made lo pay n decent
price for it. It isn't as though it was
n steady drain on the family purse.
Coffins nro bought only oecnsionnlly,
and when the occasion arises they
ought to he willing to do the thing
handsomely."
