SOME day. some town council will
make a general order that all side
walks shall be brought down TO the
curb. That is the only rule that can
be made without showing unfair dis
elimination in favor of some lot
owners. Therefore it is wise for
everybody, when adjusting their pave
ments to make final fix by bringing
them down even with the curb.

RAILROAD people say that the tray
el this summer has exceeded that of
the season of the Chicago fair. It
has probably been the greatest in the
history of the country Everybody

w. w. KENNEDY who has carried
the mail between this place and
Georgetown for long time has re-
fused to serve longer and so notified
the Postmaster at Georgetown on Sat
urday evening. Yesterday an ar
rangement was made by the postmas-
ter with Edgar Barker to do the work
for the present. The contract was
bid in by star reuter- who of course
took the job for less than it was worth.
The rascally contractor had TO give
Mr.. Kennedy slight advance over
his bid and has not paid him cent
of the advance for year. If local
carriers all over the country would re-
fuse to work for nothing the star route
bidders would soon be driven out OF
the business and the men who do the
work would get a living price for
their labor.

uses OF MICA.
New Mexico Supplying A Mica Company
At Colorado Springs.

As New Mexico has entered the mar
ket with mica, and is supplying the mill
at Colorado Springs, from Rio Arriba
county, the following information is Of
interest:
Bengal holds the first place in the
production, both in amount and quality,
of mechanical mica. Hazaribagh mines
alone employ 5,5S7 persons. Great Brit
ain, Germany and the United States are
the chief buyers. Mica is indispensable
in the manufacture of dynamos and
other electrical work. Large sheets of
ruby mica are used as covering for the
peep-holes of furnaces, where extreme
heat is required, it's imperviousness to
radiant heat and it's incombustibility
making it Invaluable for this purpose.
Experiments have shown that mica
films answer better than asbestos as
boiler packing. The air spaces between
the films of asbestos allow of the es-
cape of heat. The mica being in thin
flexible plates, there Is less air space,
and consequently less escape of heat.
Boiler packing of pure sheet mica gives
80 per cent better results than asbestos
The well-known property of mica-its
imperviousnesS to radiant heat-ren-
ders it the best possible substance for
the ceiling of all iron roofing.

A RACE FOR LIFE.
A Lake Steamer Made Bold Dash For
Port.


Chicago, November 16.-The steamer
Conemaugh, of the Anchor line, sank at
the mouth of the harbor early this
morning after having a race for life
The steamboat, bound into Chicago
from Buffalo, in dense fog that hung
over Lake Michigan ran into the half
way crib mile and half out from the
harbor entrance, and great hole was
stove in her bow. A panic seized the
crew. The boat commenced to fill with
water fast, and there was a disposition
to rush for the boats. But the captain
gave orders to turn on all steam and
make a quick run for the harbor, and
commanded the men to stand ait their
posts. The Conemaugh was settling
fast, and speed was diminishing greatly
before half the distance to the piers at
the mouth of the harbor had been trav-
ersed. AS the mouth of the harbor was
gained floods of water poured into the
fire hold and drove the stokers up the
ladders to the deck, and at last extin-
guished the fires in the boilers. The
Conemaugh came to a stop as her keel
rubbed hard in the mud at the bottom
of the harbor entrance, and she settled
fast. 1t is thought the loss on the cargo
alone will be i'm the neighborhood Of
100000

THE DAM CONTROVERSY.
What The Government Counsel Says Of
The Rio Grande.

Judge Marsden c. Burch, counsel for
the government in the injunction suit
against the irrigation company that ex-
Butte, is in Ell Paso, on his way to Mex
leo. Concerning a lengthy statement in
the Washington Times and telegraphed
west, evidently CLEANED from some one
in the department of justice or the de-
partment of state, saying the object Of
his trip was to consult the president Of
Mexico and arrange for an internation-
al dam, Judge Burch, in an interview.
did not deny this but said
"Of the attitude of the government of
the United States toward Mexico, no
one outside of the state department or
the president and his staff have a right
to speak.
'"The department of justice contains
no enemies to irrigation; nor has it any
partisan friends of navigation as op-
posed to irrigation. Its attitude, there
fore, is most friendly to all parties in
terested in good faith in irrigation along
the Rio Grande
This means Colorado, New Mexico
and Texas and the republic of Mexico
But further than that it aims to be ag
gressively impartial between sections
and localities if needs be. To be more
definite, it will not be fair for the gov
ernment Of the United States, which
alone has control of the waters of this
great river, to stand by and permit one
section to monopolize such waters for
any purpose to the exclusion and at the
expense of all others.
''To such extent as the Elephant
Butte project threatens this the United
States will be active in it's opposition; it
Will not be unfriendly, but rather
friendly, to any course which will not
endanger the relative rights of those
who need water further down the
stream-as, for instance, in the Ell Paso
valley.
"On the other hand the department
of justice cannot take and will not at
tempt to take any particular action in
favor of Ell Paso valley or the proposed
dam. 1t will only endeav-
or to see that the relative rights of the
people here are secured and maintained
as against monopoly or aggression at
Elephant Butte or elsewhere up the
river.
80 far as the dam here or in this vi
cinity is concerned, the department of
justice can do nothing but keep the field
clear for fair play-for equal distribu-
ton of water-leaving congress and the
other departments to deal with ques-
tions Of International interest, as we'll
as to the policy of using public money
for irrigation.
1--WE are just in this matter, with
friendly feeling for all, and desire to see
fair play at all hazards
