Fortune is again smiling in the di

dispatch in Sunday's Rocky Mountain
News, this city is slated for a place on
the new Gulf-Plains-Canadian high
way, a great trans-country road ex
tending from the Mexican border to
Canada. Plans have alreadyeen per
fected for marking the highway in
Colorado and Nebraska, and by Au.
crust 1 there is expected to be nearly
three hundred miles of the highway
marked. The members of the cham
ber of commerce discussed the new
highway at the noon luncheon Monday
and it was decidid to send a delegate
to Wray, Colo., for the nextpmecting
of the association on August 4

Express Company Will
Be Ordered to Change
the Rates on Ice Cream
The chamber of commerce received a
telegram Monday morning from the
Interstate commerce commission,
which will, it is hoped, mark the end
of the argument over express rates
which has been hanging on for the
past few months. Some time ago the
Alliance Creamery company enlisted
the aid of the chamber of commerce
in an effort to equalize rates on Ice
cream from Alliance to Hot Springs
and intermediate points, as compared
with the rates from cities in the
North Patte valley to the same points.
The rate was then ocer 11 per nun
dred pounds and the rate to Hot
Springs was ordered reduced to $1.04
by the interstate commerce commis
si on.

As planned by the promoters, the fa
culties at the municipal pier will be
free of charge to ail who come. This
was one of the conditions laid down by
the first man to contribute, and every
one following agreed with him. The
both-house will be open to all who de
sire to use it. Tne Boy Scouts, who
run the neighboring camp and swim
ming hole, have agreed to keep an eye
on the bath house and will keep it
cleaned up. It may be that they will
decide later to rent towels and bathing
suits if the prospects seem good.
Plans for this year are quite mod
est. Only the pier and bath house will
be built. Next year, if conditions
warrant, an additional sum will be
asked for, with which to provide show
er baths and .other improvements.
Trees will also be' set out, it is hoped.
Broncho lake has never been more
popular for swimming purposes than
this year. The Country club beach has
been used largely and often, and the
Boy Scouts are making good use of
their facilities. The general public
has flocked to the lake in larger num
bers than ever before. Saturday eve
ning seventy-two cars were counted
nn the east side of the lake, and there
. 1 were 205 people jn swimming last
Wednesday evening. The lake js get
ting to be a popular place for picnic
parties. A number of the automobiles
carry canvas covers fo the car can be
converted into a dressing room.
The movement for a public pier at
Broncho lake was started by the Alli
ance Lions club a couple of weeks
ago, but the same idea has been in
the mind 3 of other citizens. The club
appointed a committee to formulate
plans for getting funds, but the other
fellows beat them to it a irine oy pel
ting out a subscription paper. ine
Lions club promptly suDscnoea a suo
stantial sum. The idea was popular,
as nearly every man approached put
his name down for some amount. The
building of the public bath house and
the pier will be a welcome source of
entertainment during the hot weather,
and the men who were responsible lor
bringing the idea to public attention,
aa well t house who carried it out
so promptly, are deserving of especial
credit.

Previously representatives of the
live stock interests had declared that
the rates were destroying the west and
would result in the railroads being
among the worst sufferers in the end!
"The railroads should not be allowed
to sacrifice the future of the west on
the altar of present revenues," S. H.
Cowan of the American Live Stock as
sociation said.
Rate reductions asked by the ship
pers amount to $34,000,000 a year.
which would be but l.Z per went of ttra

stock shipped on western roads. Mr.
Burgess declared. W hile the value x

$819,000,000, the freight rate increased
in that year on the western roads was
only $7,488,000.
Discussing the Friday report or
Examiner Disque, which held that tho
rates on live stock were low from a
transportation standpoint, but because
of conditions prevailing in the indus
try they are nigh from an economic
standpoint, Mr. Uurgess said:
"The economic standpoint represents
a new test or reasonableness un
known to the law, without giving any
measure to tell what would be reason
able and if you find that these rates
are reasonable from a transportation
standpoint I challenge your jurisdic
tion to reduce them.
Under the law, he said, rates on one
class of traffic could not be decreased
so as to throw a burden on other
classes.
