Thinks the Council Slow.

From Thursdays Journal.
rhe city council held long and
tiresome session last night, but did
nothing. Several subjects of import
ance came up, but were talked to
death. The legal phase Of the side
walk question was raised, but like the
rest Of 0he subjects under considers
tion, IL ended in u nutty dissertation
by some councilman on his personal
views on this and that-mattere en-
tirely foreign to the subject under
consideration. A copy Of the Kansas
statutes and a city ordinance BOOK
were worn out in discussing the legal
ity OF the sidewalk ordinance. Actu
ally three quarters Of an hour were
consumed in Quibbling over the
illegal meaning" Of the word recon
Struct.' Any seven year old boy 10
Wellington could give proper mean
Ing Of the word, but the council spent
three quarters ef an hour In listening
to silly arguments about the illegal
meaning" Of II. The present council
is In danger OF having its usefulness
seriously impaired by too much talk.
Another subject which consumed q
grea. deal OF time when 1t should not
have received serious consideration,
was the matter Of appointing spe.
cial policeman to collect Delinquent
occupation taxes. The idea was ad.
vanced and made the text of another
tiresome talk OF q rambling, unim.
portant nature. II the council wants
10 force the collection OF delinquent
occupation taxes, why not have the
clerk report the delinquents to the
city attorney and let him prosecute?
Why hire special policeman when
there is no demand or excuse for IL?
Another unfortunate thing that came
up was letter from G. R. Lohr re.
Questlng that his peddler's license be
reduced to $3.50 per month. The let
ter gave talking councilman oppor.
tunity for another sermon which
lasted forty minutes. The letter was
then pigeon.holed. The council met
for the purpose Of discussing the
water question, but the water ques.
tion was not reached and another
meeting will be held Wednesday night.
Actually nothing was done at the
meeting last night, which lasted till
nearly Midnight. Several matters
which we're left over from Monday
nights meeting we're not taken up
last night, owing 10 the late hour.

members Of the committee got money

The opposing towns realized they
we're up against the Doodle PROPOSE
items and that there was no show for
them. The talk was heard every
where. Every man we met talked to
US about Parsons having money and
the air was filled with such stories.
Other towns charged that Parsons
expected to get the asylum by pur.
chasing the committee.
"The committee held an executive
session at the hotel 10 Parsons.
While we were talking l told the
members Of the committee about the
Doodle talk and said then and there
that proposed to keep clear Of such

Broad Gauge Into Creede.

There is no longer any question
but the Rio Grande will extend its
broad gauge system to Creede next
year, says the Denver Times. The
matter keeps coming up until the
company begins to look upon it as
a necessity and the subject will be
taken up at the next meeting of
the directors in New York, to de-
eide when the work will be com
menced.
The camp has been carefully in
spected by the experts of the COM
pany and the constantly increasing
product of the mines in that sec
ton, and the amount of traffic ac-
cruing has been passed upon with
the recommendation that in anoth-
er year the narrow gauge equip
ment will be hardly sufficient TO
handle the volume of business.
Just whether the company will
also extend the broad gauge line
into New Mexico territory from
Alamosa is not known at this time,
but it has been up on several oc-
casions. There is demand for
the road on account of the heavy
sheep and wool trade in that sec
tion of the country, and the line
could be built, but Mr.. Jefferey
has a reputation of keeping his
expenses within the limit; that is,
he doesn't spend his money until
he gets it, and the probabilities are
that it may be another year before
that part of the narrow gauge line
merges into the broad gauge sys-

COLORADO ZINC IN ANTWERP
One of Colorado Industries in
Flourishinq Condition.

Along with other industries of
the state, the newly launched zinc
industry is prospering. says the
Denver Republican. Large ship
ments of zinc ore have been made
from Leadville at intervals during
this year, but one to be made this
week will surpass all others. and
will mark the real entrance of zinc
mining among the lucrative indus
tries of the state. Over the Mid
land road will come a train of 80
cars, destined for Antwerp, Belgi-
um, for the electrical zinc reiiner-
cries there. For electrical use,
zinc must be remarkably pure, and
free from carbon or iron taints,
otherwise it will be entirely unfit
for batteries. The Colorado zinc
has been found to meet these re-
quirements completely, especially
that ore which is mined in the
Leadville district. This is the
reason why the Antwerp factory
sends To Colorado for zinc ore,
when nenr at hand, in Germany
and France, are zinc mines of
great richness, This shipment is
being made under the direction of
b. 0. jacobson of New York
Some of the ore is in the crude
state and some has been concen-
trated, every pound of it, however,
is sacked. Preparations are being
made at the Meyer mine at Lead
vile for the erection of a mill to
concentrate zinc ores.

A New Invention.

One of the latest inventions of
Thomas A. Edison is an instru-
ment that succeeds the kineto-
scope and cineomatograph in the
production of living pictures, and
is so far in advance of any machine
heretofore brought before the pub
lie that the old ones are entirely
eclipsed. The new instrument is
known as the Projectoscope and is
placed upon the market at $4,000.
The machine is said to be abso-
lutely perfect, and SO regular is
the light and so vivid is the pic
ture, that watching the canvas is
like looking out of window at
the events as they actually trans
pire.
Next Thursday night, at the
opera house, the Projectoscope
will be seen in presenting views
valued at $4,000. Prices have
been placed at 25 and 80 cents,
and tickets will be on sale at the
Postoffice Bookstore.

GERMAN-AMERICAN CABLE.
One VIII Probably BE Laid Between
Ems and New York.

Washington, April PA signal evidence
of the purpose of the United States to
maintain friendly relations with Germany
has been given in the favorable action of
the President, at the instance of Secretary
Hay, in approving the project for new
transatlantic cable running between Ger
many and the United States.
The project was brought forward by
prominent German-American interests and
has had the active support of the German
ambassador here, DR.. Won Holleben.
The new company is to be known as the
German-American Telegraph Company,
and among those interested in it are prom
trent firms in Germany, as well as num-
Der of Americans.
The German terminus of the new cable
will, It is understood, be at Ems, town
and watering place in the province OF
Hesse-Nassau, Prussia, near Coblenz. The
American terminus is expected to be at
New York The route of the line will be
by way of the Azores. a Portuguese pos
session, so that 1t is presumed that con-
cessions also have been obtained from
Portugal.
This will be the first cable ever laid be-
tween Germany and the United States,
and with the Franco-American cable will
be the only line not touching on British
soil
