.BURYING WIRES in THE STREET
TELEPHONE coMPANY's PLANS
ARE APPROVED.
Cannot Be Compelled to Remove
Poles Used BY Other Companies
Board of Public Works Meets.


The plans of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company for its conduit,
which is to be extended down State
street from First to Third South and
eventually throughout the business dis
trict, We're approved yesterday by the
board Of public works, and within a few
days the laying of the underground
system for the mass of wires will be
commenced.
On the point as to whether the poles
taken away after the telephone wires
are buried. Superintendent Murray in
formed the board that the poles are
jointly owned and used by the tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light
companies, and therefore no condition
could be imposed requiring the tele-
phone company to remove the poles
when its use of them ceases.
Chairman Kelsey reiterated that the
board could only approve or disapprove
the plans for the conduit and that the
city council must determine the queS-
ton of removing the poles. The board
concurred and the pole question was
passed, but the probabilities are that
within the next five years all overhead
wires in the business district Will be
carried in conduits, thus making it an
easy matter to compel the abandoning
of the poles.

Conditions In Porto Rico.

Mr.. Carpenter has recently come
from Porto Rico and he talked very
entertainingly of his observations
there.
THE people, said he, "are. very ig-
norant and narrow and have few ideas
about government. It will require an
other generation before they will be
we'll enough educated to handle their
own affairs. The children must be sent
to school and must be taught in Eng
lish so that in time the Spanish lam
kuage will give place to English. Think
ing in and reading the Spanish lam
guage means a continuance of Spanish
customs. They must be abolished be-
fore these people become properly civ
ilized. The official positions should be
held by Americans, for a Spaniard in
office is a thief. The idea that a public
Office is a public trust is laughable to
him. Dishonesty in official life does
not worry the people

dent should appoint a civil governor for
