count of the lsteness of the season, the
latter building may go over till spring.
Considerable new machinery has
been added during the last few

time and many of them over time.-

There are two clerks employed in
the Auditors office of the Colorado
Midland, at Colorado Springs, says
the Denver News, that are causing no
end of trouble in the most innocent
manner. One of them is named War.
rem Lott and the other Lott Warren.
They are employed in the same de-
partmeut but unfortunately do not
receive the same salary, and as a nat.
ursl consequence they keep the pay
masters books constantly tangled.
Warren Lott gets Lott Warren's pay
and vice versa. The auditor and the
treasurer are getting desperate, and
the salaries of the clerks have got to
be equalized either by cut or an ad.
