DE WINDT’S EXPEDITION.
Members Suffer From Terribly In
tense Cold.
Letters have been received in Lon
don from Harry De Windt, leader of
the expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to
New York, dated Verkhoyansk, East
Siberia, at the end of February. In
spite of the forebodings of the officials
of Yakutsk, who strongly urged Mr.
De Windt not to continue his journey,
saying the conditions were worse this
year than ever, the expedition reached
Verkhoyansk, GOO miles north of Yak
utsk, February 28th.
The members of the expedition had
a terrible experience while crossing
the Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold
was intense, sixty-three degrees below
MR) being registered. All the travel
ers were frost bitten. Otherwise they
were well and in good spirits and were
leaving the same day for Sredne
Kolymsk, a town of East Siberia, 900
miles further on, which the party
hoped to reach about the middle of
March. Then it was their intention to
push on 1,500 miles to East cape, on
Behring straits. Probably the next
news of the expedition will be Its ar
rival in the United States via the Beh
ring straits. De Windt mentions a re
port that Baron Toll’s expeditionary
ship Zaria was stranded off the Sibe
rian islands, with only seven tons of
coal on board.

The reader* of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that H fails to cure. Send for list of

She Would Not be
Without It Now.
Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeler’s Curative Compound ; it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles ? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr. W. Bowell, of 34, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col., writes : “ I wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler’s Curative
Compound for a long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without a bottle now.”
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
Benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.

The house that tells the truth.
Just to Be Just—That’s All.
Heretofore much Ims •'been published In this department concerning the
taxation of railroads doing business exclusively In Colorado; and it has been
shown that either intentional or unintentional harm has been done them by
those who have not been thoroughly aware of the true condition of affairs.
The railroads have extended an earnest Invitation to anybody and every
body to expose one single error in the statements that have appeared weekly
in this paper and again it extends an invitation to critics to show any error
in the two statements herewith published and which same cover the taxes
charged against the Burlington route and the Union Pacific.
The first statement is a statement showing the tax charges against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company under the revenue law of
1901, the total valuation of the county, and percentage of railroad property:

Average.
That part of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad which passes*
through Colorado is one part of their system of branches extending to various
portions of the West, and, with the exception of the line to Denver, is not part
of a through line.
This road Is one of the great railroads of the United States. It passes
through teu states, and it Is taxed under the laws of various states. In Wis
consin it pays four per cent, on the gross learnings; in lowa and Nebraska
the earning capacity of the road is taken Into consideration; in most of the
other states an assessed valuation, determined by tax commissioners or
boards of equalization, is used with the following result. It pays per mile In
the various states as follows:
Illinois ..$221.27
Missouri 116.69
Wisconsin 231.95
lowa 217.35
Nebraska ... 187. OS
Montana 84.98
Kansas 166.64
South Dakota 99.92
Wyoming 110.12
Colorado (1900) 234.12
It will be noticed that Colorado In 1900 collected the highest rate per mile
that the Burlington was called upon to pay. It only makes the $570 per mile
that is now charged that company under the revenue law of 1901 look the
more ridiculous.
The Colorado & Wyoming railroad (a part of the Burlington system In
Colorado), that runs across the northeastern part of the state, has an extra
ordinary showing.
OPERATIONS YEAR ENDING DEC. 31. 1890.
From passengers $10,899.52.
From freight 22.061.73
Other sources 8.630.88
Total * $41,592.13
Operating expenses In Colorado $121,574.79
A net loss of $ 79.982.66
While it has iwiid taxes for 1900 amounting to $24,985.50 on this road, the
tax for the year 1901 is charged at $80,429.25, which amounts to $38,837.13
more than the gross earnings, or receipts, from all sources that this branch
road has obtained. It would pay the Burlington road in ten years’ time, at
this rate of taxation, to tear up this whole branch of the road and build
around that corner of the state.
The main line of the Burlington from Wray to Denver is self-supporting,
and the management of the Burlington road feel that It is right to speculate
on the future of Colorado with these other branches. During the past year
it has completed a connection with Montana by building twelve miles of road
in Morgan and thirty miles in Logan counties. In Nebraska the assessed v alue
of road is $2,000 per mile; In Wyoming but $1,500 a mile It being a
new venture and the citizens desiring to foster it. In Cofc ado it Lb assessed
at over $25,000 a mile, and it never has earned a cent.
Average tax of Burlington roai in eight states (per mile), $1G7.01,
Tax per mile in Colorado, 1900, $234.12.
Tax per mile In Colorado, 1901. $570.00.
And now comes the bureau with the following, which is a statement
showing the tax charges against the Uuion Pacific railroad under the revenue
law of 1901, the total valuation of the county, and percentage of railroad
property: .

The Union Pacific railroad in Colorado is hut the extension of a series of
branches which they control in the hope of securing and fostering a business
in this statai Outside of the line that extends from Denver to Cheyenne it is
not a paying proposition. The operations of this road in 1901 resulted as fol
lows:
Gross earnings f. $2,459,892.78
Operating expenses 1,988,864.36
Net earnings $ 471,028.43
Net earnings per mile 994.00
Taxes 114,880.^4
On all of the road, except the division mentioned above, the traffic carried
over the various lines would not pay the fixed charges, let alone dividends on
stock. The only value to the corporation is abtained from the drawing of
business over their general system.
