Judge Voorhees, on the 11th heard
the petition Of Willisford Dey for an
Injunction against the Pueblo city offi-
cials to restrain them from signing
warrant for 5000 for the purchase of
land for the opening of Tenth street
east Of Santa Fe avenue, and granted
a temporary injunction. 1t Is alleged
that the city bargalned for the land
without having made an appropriation
for thnt purpose, and that also the land
Is outside Of the city limits.
Colonel Edward verleckberg, recent
iy elected commanding officer Of the
First infantry, G. n. G., has published
all order which outlines his policy in
the management of the regiment. The
order states that the colonel favors the
granting of fewer discharges than has
formerly been the custom and does not
wish to grant any discharges unless
good reasons are advanced. Non-com-
missioned officers will be required to
pass written examination before re-
ceiving the warrants. A board of OFF,
GERS to hold such examinations will
convene the second Monday Of each
month.
There Is n strong probability that II
Denver is selected as the location for
the National Elks' Home, the site se-
lected for the building and grounds
will be that of the Baptist Ladies' Col
lege in MOntclair. At meeting Of d.
rectors of the college society the sub
ject was discussed at length and ten
local Elks' committee for the purchase
Of the property. The price for the
building us 1t now stands and the sur
rounding twenty acres of ground is
1876, 900. The bilding alone when first
constructed cost $4,000. The local
committee of the Elks IL known to Ia
vor the property above all Others which
have been submitted for consideration.

Lakewood railroad to Idaho Springs
and across the divide to Middle Park,
has been one of the pet hobbies Of Mr..
Newhouse. His mining schemes have
reached the point where they will not
require his personal attention, and It Is
believed that from this time he will
give personal attention to railroad
matters. The Lakewood line has al
ready been cross sectioned to this place
and the financial backing In Boston and
New York gives assurance that an on
ward movement will be made within
the next three months. From conver-
sation with one of the officers of the
road, 1t is beheved that the Burlington
has something to do with the exten-
sion.
The state fish department will stock
what has been known rs 1.-The Colorado
dead sea" This Is u lake near Grand
Junction. which. according to 4. ]. HOl
land, superintendent of fish hatcheries
for the state, has never known what
a fish is. Gold Bridge 1nke will be
filed this year with some of the best
stock which can be procured and an
effort be made to see II fish cannot be
trained to live In the water. Some
thing about the water of Lake Gold
hnu dch 1Jx-Inu In
but last year residents In that vicinity
noticed that the water materially clear
ed up, as II the impurities It carried
We're disappearing. A report to this
effect 30 encouraged Mr.. Holland that
he listened to the solicitations of many
citizens of the neighborhOOd who are
anxious to fish and have nothing to fish
for. He has therefore decided to make
n trial of the matter.
The Colorado Springs Light and Pow
er Company is making arrangements to
build new plant at the coal mines
north Of the city and Henry Hine, the
superintendent and general manager,
is in the East securing machinery.
Work Will be begun on the building rs
soon as he returns, about May LIST. The
company has contracted with the
Standard Milling and Smelling Com
pany to furnish II between 500 and 600
horse power to take effect January 1,
1901. The company also has agreed to
furnish power for the Colorado Phila
delphin Reduction Works at Colorado
City II they should decide to change
their power. This is the company that
purchased the FL Pnso Electric Com
pany, and the new plant is an addi-
tion to the plant which is being erected.
The cost of the buildings and the equip
ment will be In the neighborhood Of
5000, 600 and the plant is expected to be
In operation by December l. 1900.
Senator Edward Taylor of Glen
wood Springs was In Denver the other
day and arranged with the state engi-
neer the particulars of the work to
he done on the Taylor state wagon
road this season. The last Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 for this road,
which will run from Denver to Grand
Junction. but 1t seemed to be doubt
ful MS to whether or not the road could
be built. AT n conference on the mat
ter the work was laid out. The state
engineer. Senator Taylor. NJ. Z. Nor
rill of the Garfield county commission
ers and l.. II. Willis decided that 1t
would be best to 20 ahead with the
