ALDERMEN ON A RAMPAGE.

With reckless disregard for the ex.
pressed opinion of City Attorney White,
and an abandon that would lay meet
ing OF old party political bosses in the
shade, the city council refused at the
last meeting to levy an assessment in
Park District No. for the payment of
interest on bonds. The aldermen who
thus refused to do a plain duty argued
that the interest should be paid out of
the money realized from the sale of the
bonds, but of course they knew better
The inside il 1t is that they voted against
the measure because Alderman Davis
proposed it. That gentleman has been
very much in evidence, in combative
sense, it seems, whenever certain other
aldermen had any pet measure up and it
was to punish him that the negative al
dermen took SO much license. They had
their fun, anyhow, and will vote the levy
next meeting, letting the city attorney
and the alderman from the Second get
over their chagrin as soon as they please.

TO GROW MELONS.
Citizens of Pueblo and Vicinity
Making Preparations.

G. B. Schmidt and j. j. Langdon are
foremost among those who think that a
melon growers association would be a
good thing and who are most active in
forming a plan to interest the public.
Geo. Scott, A. R. Pierce, Robert Grant
and ]. N. Bartels are also active in the
project, and an organization has been
formed and papers will shortly be fled
with the secretary OF state.
The association expects to get as much
as 500 acres of land under melon cultlva-
tion, and every farmer will be asked to
pledge Sc many acres. Some capitalists
and business men of Pueblo have offered
to back certain farmers in the enter
prise, and others are invited to do the
same thing. There is no question but
that melon growing is great success as
ready market and big price is offered
for the Colorado product in the East.
Every encouragement should be given
the enterprise.

THE LAW is WITH COLORADO

Those anxious Kansans who are about
to organize for the purpose OF bringing
federal authority to bear on Coloradoans
to prevent them from taking water from
the Arkansas river for irrigating pur-
poses will probably discover that they
are little too previous. The doctrine
OF Estates rights" will be looked to prove
that a state has full control of all waters
within Its confines, and il the govern
ment of Colorado gives water right to
canal or ditch company the said canal
or ditch company is privileged to take
water from river or stream if any there
be. 1t iH rather hard on the Kansans to
see the river robbed OF so much of its
water in the Centennial state, and W.T.
don't blame them one bit for making a
vigorous kick, but it will be seen if the
matter is carried into the courts that the
law is on the side of Colorado.

Bessemer's sun Of prosperity is rising
bright and glorious in the horizon of thu
near future. its first refulgent rays seem
lngly to be even now penetrating the
channels of commerce and trade, stimu
lating the merchants to renewed activity
and strengthening the faith of specula
tors in real estate, while among the la
boring classes the murmurings of dis.
content grow faint, soon to be hushed
altogether as the measure of good things
continues to pour into their homes from
Cornucopia's exhaustless store.
1t may be that our dawn of prosperity
is a little earlier than that of the coun.
try generally. 1t may he that this part
of the city of Pueblo is even more fav-
ored than other sections of glorious
Colorado. 1t may be that Bessemer has
more reason for inaugurating boom
than any other town, but however that
may be, certain it is that things are
frightening up here steadily and surely,
and it will not be long before the steel
works and smeter town takes on its old
time appearance Of hustle and activity
There are several reasons for this bet
terment of present times and more pro-
pitious outlook for the future, chief
among which is the fact that a half mil
lion dollars is being expended in the I'M
provements at the steel works. BY this
vast expenditure of money the works
will be rehabilitated and modernized,
thus enabling it to compete with the
best plants in the country and guaran-
teeing continual running with steady
employment for hundreds of men. The
reconstruction of the big plant also gives
it permanency which has beneficial
influence over other enterprises gener-
ally.
There are not half dozen vacant
houses in Bessemer, which is good in
dication in itself, and grocers tell us
their trade is better than it has been for
two years past. With things looking so
well now what will they be next spring
when the building boom begins?

As THE first of the year draws near it

increased An indey to the roduct is

s12,000000 for this year rs against SS,-
