Grand functions Progress.

After long and bitter and persistent
fight, Grand Junction is at last to have
its own municipal water works, and the
construction Of the plant has been be-
gun. For four or five years in munich
pal elections and in the courts this con
test has gone on, until the friends of a
new water system, owned and controlled
by the city. have won every point, and
their victory is sealed by the beginning
Of work on the plant. Construction will
be rapidly pushed and it is expected
that the new works will be in operation
by February next.
In connection with the water system
sewers are also to be constructed, and
these two municipal improvements will
give a metropolitan air to Grand juno
tion that it has not heretofore possessed.
Indeed the city had reached point in
it's growth where an adequate water sys-
TEN and sewers were an actual necessity
for sanitary reasons, if for no others, 1t
had ceased to be village and the time
had come when it's reputation as
healthful place of residence and as an
enterprising and progressive community
demanded these improvements
With this municipal work in progress
and the completion OF the beet sugar
factory which will occur during the
present month, Grand Junction will
have every reason to regard 1889 as a
fortunate year in her history.
The full effects of the sugar industry
on her trade will not be felt until next
season, but they are visible enough at
present to foreshadow a most prosperous
year.
The efforts Of the community should
now be directed toward the construction
of tho high line csnal and the securing
OF smeltiug plant, for which Grand
Junction presents numerous and unsur
passed inducements. Rocky Mountain

The portieres were pushed aside, and an
imposing and st~ony-faced butler walked
into the room. He carried a small silver
tray, on which lay an open gold watch
and, marching up to the visitor, he held
the tray out toward aim. The girl
blushed and writhed in modification, but
the young mans childlike and bland
countenance expressed only ~incredulous
wonder n delight.

said the frozen butler, holding the tray
at present arms. Then, still holding it,
he turned to leave the room, but the
amlable visitor made a quick movement
and took the watch from the tray.
"Oh, this is too kind he exclaimed
ra~pturously. Il never expected anything
of this sort. You father is too gener-
ous.' He turned to the girl with inno-
cent delight and gratitude written in
every line of his expressive face, and
slipped the watch into his waistcoat pock-
ct. The buffers face underwent a con-
vulsion. Then it relapsed into rightly,
and he left the room.

blithely. Tell your father how heartily

for the sound of a raging domestic cy-

next morning she appeared at the break
fast table with very pink cheeks and
frightened eyes. Her father looked at
her over the morning paper. Could it be
possible? There was ar unmistakable
twinkle in the eyes under the fierce,
shaggy brows.
Not a word was said about the evening
episode. The girl began to breathe more
easily. Suddenly there was a ring at the
bell. The butler brought in a neat pack
age n a note, and handed them to Mr..
McGregor. That dignified gentleman,
put on his glasses and read the note care
fully. Then he took up the newspaper
and was lost behind it for a few moments.
He emerged, severe, unbending, but as he
left the room he dropped the note at his
daughters plate.

House or the gallows," he remarked.

like a chuckle. The note said:

regular armament and protective decks,
but with quarters fitted up for the en-
peror. The royal yacht now building
will, or the other hand, be simply a yacht
for pleasure cruising.
The keel of the new craft was laid at
Pembroke on December %, 1897, and
since that time progress has been much
delayed by strikes. At present, how
ever, the men employed in the cOnstruc-
ton of the yacht are working overtime
and as only the best artisans in the
United Kingdom are engaged for the
task it is more than likely that if Queen
Victoria goes to the south of France in
the early spring of 1900 she will be able
to cross the channel in the new boat.
This huge pleasure craft is to be $50
feet in length, so feet beam, IS feet
draught and her displacement 4, 500 tons.
The hull is to be of steel sheathed with
wood and covered with "copper", and will
be provided with double bottoms. She
will have three tunnels and two masts.
The vessel will have orlop, lower, main,
upper and forecastle decks.
Speed is to be an important cOnSidera-
ton, and the yacht will have two sets of
triple-expansion, f~our-cylinder engines,
driving twin screws and having an indi-
Gated horsepower of II, 600. The high
pressure cylinder of each engine will be
261a inches in diameter, the intermed-
late cylinder 44T inche in diameter,
and two loW-presSure cylinders 53 inches
in diameter, all having a stroke of 80
inches. Steam will be supplied by
eighteen Belleville boilers, working at a
pressure of 800 pounds, which will be re-
duced at the engines to $50 pounds. The
CRATE area under the boilers will be $40
feet, and the heating surface will be
26, 900 square feet. This machinery is
expected to drive the vessel through the
water at a speed of thirty knots an hour,
with the engines making 140 revolutions
a minute.
The new yacht will be far more elab-
orately decorated than any vessel of his
kind previously built. Heretofore the
admiralty has been averse to giving out
information concerning the plans for the
queens yacht. but it is already known
that by the time the yacht is launch
ed her estimated cost will be nearly
81, 200, 900 and that by the time her in
terror fittings have been put in place
$500, 900 more will have been expended,
making her total cost a million ana a
half dollars.
Some idea of the magnificence and
cost Of the hull may be gained from

If Queen Victoria's new royal yacht,
which is now building at Pembroke ship
yards, had been in commission previous
to the time of her majesty's departure
for her annual trip to the Riviera, it is
hardly likely that such an elaborate con-
Voy would have been ordered for that dig
nified old side wheel craft, which has
been for so many years the queens royal
yacht. But the convoy was found neces-
sary to forestall by a show of force any
of the threatening demonstrations fore
Swallowed by the radical press of France.
But with the new yacht it would have
been different.
Queen Nictoria's new yacht Will have,
in addition to many other qualifications,
that of being the largest pleasure craft

much larger than the German emperor ;

Cornhill Magazine: 1t is perhaps I'M
necessary in these neWspaper-reading
days to explain what 'penny-a-lining''
means. Most people know that penny
aiming is a system in journalism by
which men who are not regularly attach
ed to any newspaper send items of news
odds and ends of all kinds which they
may chance to pick up-to several jour-
nails, which are paid for, if published,
at the rate of a penny a line. But penny
a-lining is not quite an accurate express
sion nowadays, so far as London, at
least, is concerned. Years ago, when the
term was invented, the only

cepted from persons unattached to their
regular STATS; but now three halfpence
and tWopence a line are paid for such
reports and paragraphs by the big metro
politan dailies.

of the daily newspapers could possibly

GOOD NEWS FOR HUNTERS.
Attorney General Hicks Decides Against
the New Fish and Game Law.

Attorney General Hicks has given
the state game warden an opinion on
the new state game hunting license
law, in which he holds that residents of
the state may hunt any kind of game
III the open season, except deer and
aquatic fowl, without a license. 1t
appears that two sections of the statute
in question conflict, and the result is
that the law nullifes itself III part and
thing, save deer and aquatic fowl, pro-
vided they do not use dogs. The use
of dogs makes a license necessary.
The sections of the law which conflict
are section 10, chapter of the laws of
1899, and section IA of the same act.
Section 13 provides as follows:
every person who has resided in
this state for one year previous to APP
plying for license to hunt game and
who desire to hunt the same, must
first obtain a license from the county
clerk of the county in which he resides. ,
This is contravened npart by section
IA, as follows:
sit shall be unlawful, and is hereby
prohibited, for any resident of this
state to hunt for, pursue, take, catch or
kill any of the Aquatic fowls or deer
protected by the laws of this state or to
pursue, take, catch or kill any of the
other fowls or birds protected by the
laws of this state with dog or dogs,
without having in his possession at the
time of such pursuing, taking, catch
ing or killing, a license therefor duly
issued to him under the provisions of
this act.'
AS a result of this partial contradic-
ton in relation to dogs, Asst. Atty.
Gen. Buell., who wrote the opinion,
holds that the latter section of the
statute controls the former section, and
makes it possible for farmers and
other residents of the state to hunt
without dogs. The deer and aquatic
fowl hunters are regulated by another
statute, and are not affected by the
opinion.
