5000, 900 Cubic Yards of Sand.

Dredging operations in Superior har-
Dor have ceased for this season, most of
the dredges being tied up early in the
week. The work could 90 on a little
while longer, but as the season has been
one of the best ever known here the
Contractors were willing to stop work
when the cold snap came on. and not
wait until compelled by the ice to cease
work. The work WAS stopped on the
Dist of November by the ice last wear,
when about 100000 cubic yards of
sand had been taken out. This year it
is estimated that the figures will show
about 5000, 900 crbic yards moved, or
about one-ffth more than in '9S. The
month of November this year was a
better month than the average during

4 O'Clock this afternoon Miss Edith L.
Pitkin, of this city, was united in mar
riage to the Rev. Winthrop Allison, of
Superior. The ceremony was perform
ed at the home of the bride on the
Cheyenne Canyon road. On account of
the recent death of the brides father,
the wedding was made very quiet one
and but about 20 of the relatives and
immediate friends were present. The
ceremony was conducted by the Rev.
w. II. w. Boyle, D. D., of the
First Presbyterian Church of Colorado
Springs. The bride was attired in
gray travelling suit. The couple will
spend a few days travelling in this state
and will then leave for Superior, their
future home.
Miss Pitkin is one ST the most prom
inent young ladies of Colorado Springs
and there is not one more popular in
the city. Her presence will be missed,
especially among church circles, as she
has been a very active worker in that
line She has resided in Colorado
Springs for 10 years past, having come
here with her parents from Iowa"

audience, though not as large one as
the program deserved. The program

that Bryan will be elected.
