THREE PARAGRAPHS ON DOGS.
Pay day for the Canines is at Hand
and Owners Should Make
Note of it,

June lst is dog tag day, and those
who would guard their pets against the
possible raid of the dog catcher and a
stray bullet from pohceman's pistol
will pay due heed to the ordinance in
regard to the ownership OF dogs and
take out license. at the same time
ornamenting the neck of Bruno and
Fido with regulation collar.
The ordinance says that on the first
day OF June the owner OF dog shall
pay to the city clerk the sum of one
dollar, and for a female dog the sum Of
three dollars, for which he receives a
license good for one year. He shall
then provide his dog with collar made
of some durable material, upon which is
inscribed the number of the license and
the year for which it is issued.
A failure to comply with this rule lays
the owner liable to fine of five dollars,
and the dog to an ignominious death at
the hands Of the dog catcher or any po-
licemau. Next Tuesday, therefore, is
pay day with the dog, and if his bill is
not settled he may be brought to ac-
count by the city. OF course ne may
escape the bogie man among dogs for
an indefinite length of time, but he is
taking chances. Better go to the city
hall and see Clerk Mcneil about it.

to offer the suggestion that the process,
sion OF states, which will be the main
feature, must not be permitted TO over
shadow all other attractions.
There should be seen in the gorgeous
parade the state militia resident IN the
city, as well as the uniformed cadets of
the high schools. They are always a
prime factor in Il parade and they
should be encouraged to turn out.
Where fraternal orders have Uniform
ed teams it would be u good idea for
them also to march, Ms they present a
fine appearance IN their gay parapher-
MALTA, and the more prancing steeds
they have the better.
Such features can be added without
seriously detracting from the represent
alton of the various state delegations,
and we hope to see them made part of
the pageant.
Then, too, the program of the day s
sports and pastimes must not be lost
sight Of A few horse races, foot races,
bicycle races and such would add zest
to the doings of the day. So, too, if any
should care to climb the CREASED pole,
run sack race, chase the soaped shote,
jump over high board fence and the
| like, their desires should be given full
swing.
or course the march Of the states rep
resented by natives of each will be the
big thing, but there must be others.

THRAsHING OVER OLD STRAW.

| Some of of our valued exchanges have
| again taken up the discussion OF state
canal No |. 1t must be very import
ant issue since it can not be permitted
to rest at ALL 1t will not dcwn, but il
will continue to be the bone of conten,
ton between the upper and lower sec
tions of the Arkansas valley until the
proposition is settled one way or the
other. The Rocky Ford Enterprise oi
last issue contains the following:
The Florence Reiiner urges the con
struction OF state canal No. |, saying
| that Its construction would add hund
reds of people to our population and
thousands OF dollars to our wealth.
The La Junta Times very promptly re
| minds the Retiner that people of Otero
Bent and Prowers counties have built
their own irrigating bitches and canals
and are now rustling reservoir sites in
the mountains and on the plains so that
they can be sure Of steady flow OF
water throughout the season. Let Pu'
eblo n nd Fremont citizens do likewise
| The justice of the position can not be
questioned.
The trouble with our friends down
the river is they are unfair and extreme
| ly selfish. In this instance they pre-
tend to oppose the construction OF the
canal from purely economical stand
point, arguing that since Pueblo and
Fremont county citizens would largely
be the beneficiaries they should con
struct the big ditch at their own ex-
pensc. But the real cause Of their OPP
Grated seltishness-and that is all there
is to it.
The legislature of the state can go
ahead aud appropriate tens of thou
sands of dollars for the building of
wagon roads in some lonesome, out Of
the way mountain region and not a
word of reproof do we hear from down
the valley, but let word be said about
an appropriation for state canal No. l
and great howl is raised at once about
extravaganza. But what those people
really object to is the taking of any
more water out of the river above them
| They want it all to flow down to their
part of the country and fill their irri'
eating ditches They begrudge their
| neighbors above them the use of the
river, and seem to think that it was
created for their sole use and benefit.
That is the long and the short of it.
That is the whole solution of their OPP
position in nut she'll
If we desired we might go on and
show that the state, owning us it does
large tracts along the proposed route Of
the canal, would be a bene ticiary to d
great extent, and also, that much OF the
work OF making the canal would be by
convict labor, but this is unnecessary
Tho average citizen up this way under
stands very well the why and the
wherefore of the opposition, and he has
his down-th -the-river friends sized up ac'
cordingly.

CITY COUNCIL CULLINGS.

The city council held hasty meeting
last Monday night and remained in ses-

and went to the circus to SEQ the boval-

The claim of j. L. Manners for 81 500

Missouri Pacific in not removing tracks

disallowed.
The health commissioner got in a last
kick by calling the attention of the coun-
ell to the filthy condition of the alleys,
and Chief Griffin was instructed 10 mott
fy the public through the newspapers to
clean the alleys out.
Engineer Hathaway presented new
list of helpers for his department, as fol

is; draughtsman, Wm. Peach; rodman,
G. A. Reese. The list was not con
frmed, the matter being postponed on
motion of Alderman Mattice.
The pay of the men driving street
sprinkers was raised from $50 to $40
per month.
Alderman Davis moved to have the
chief of police close up Bessemer Sa-
looms running without license. No
action was taken, as the council decided
to go into secret session.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the matter OF municipal ownership
of lights reported that it had done
nothing.
The ordinance prohibiting the exhi-
bition of prize fighting through the
kinetoscope or biograph was killed.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

served in this city. 1t will be the most
unique as wcll as the most gorgeous al

thing never before seen in the whole

fact such thing would be impossible
in the East where people ere born,
grow up and die IN one locality, but
with us it is different. Here in Pueblo
every state in the union has it's repre-
sentatives, and they will get together on
the Fourth each state forming distinct
section, yet the sections all making one
vast procession. 1t Is representation

The diplomatic thing for this country
to do is to give Spain provocatlon to de-
clare war. She is Just aching for such
an opportunity, as it would give her a
chance to let Cuba go without too great
stroke to her national pride. A war
between Spain and the United States
would amount to nothing more than Il
declaration and treaty, with Cuba be-
ing forfeited to Uncle Sam. Senator
Morgan says there might be sham bat
tie, but we doubt very much il there
would be even that semblance of war.
BY all means the house of represent
atives should concur in the senate res
olutions acknowledging the belligerency
of the Cubans, and thus give poor old
Spain chance to let go. / is astound
ing that there are any members of con
gress so obtuse as not to see the point.

increase over the corresponding period
of the previous year of $l04 All. Busi-

came almost wholly from the coal bust
