STRATTON'S GREAT
DENVER PURCHASE

Denver Colo, April 1.-THE News
this morning says:
W. 5. Stratton, it is now definitely
stated, is the purchaser of the Tabor
property at Broadway and Seven
teenth avenues. This statement was
made in the News when the property
was first transferred by the Tabor es-
tate to new purchaser whose identity
was concealed by w. w. and NJ. Il.
Porter, the agents who negotiated the
transaction. These agents later de
MED positively that Mr.. Stratton had
anything to do with the purchase. 1t
is now stated, however, by persons
who We're connected with the transac-
tion and who held certain claims
against the Tabor estate which were
compromised at the time the sale was
made, that Mr.. StrattOn is the purcha-
ser. According TO their statement the
ground was purchased as an invest
ment and will not be improved for the
present. The purchase, it is said on
authority coming from Mr.. Stratton,
is to be used as n park site and will be
beautitied and used as park for the
Brown hotel which Mr.. Stratton Will
buy as soon as the necessary legal
steps have been taken TO admit of the
transfer being made to him under
foreclosure proceedings.

/ datum. weaape. practically striving to
obtain a 6-foot depth in the
upper portion of the river and
an 8-foot depth in the lower. To
| obtain these depths. the river Is con-
! fined to a single channel by closing all
side chutes, and the main channel is
then reduced at low stages to width
that varies with the river discharge
from 400 feet at st. Paul. 1000 feet
above and 1 200 feet below DaVen-
port, to 1, 600 feet between the mouths
of the Illinois and Missouri rivers.
This contraction is produced by means
of bank revetment, wing dams, clos
ing dams and longitudinal dikes.
These structures are composed of
brush and stone, materials found in
abundance along the river banks so
that the work is done very economic
ally. There are. however, certain
sections of the river where rock is en-
countered. as at the Des Moines rapids
and Rock Island rapids, which require
special treatment"
EVIL should BE Checked.
Before closing" said Maj Town
send, Il desire to make few
remarks on river and harbOr
steals and the possibility therefor.
When this term is applied to the
river and harbor bill no one means
to imply that the funds appropriated
are not honestly expended and for
the purposes congress intended them,
but simply that appropriations are
made for works merely of local value,
under the pretense that they are of
. nx-il 70 Of
as extensive as is ordinarily sup
posed. That which we call creek
may have commerce mole import
ant than what we call a river. The
freight passing through XIII van Kull
exceeds that of the Chicago river, and
Newtown Creek has n tonnage greater
than the upper Mississippi. But
whatever the extent of this evil, il
should be checked. The misappro-
priatioD Of government funds Is a
serious matter, and the public con
science can not be too sensitive to
such a charge.
The responsibility for any irregu-
larities rests with the people them
selves. The representative is more
conscientious than the people he rep
reseuts when it comes to raidipg the
United States treasury.
When you consider that the tri-
cities have been able to extract as
pork from the river and harbor bill
but a few thousand dollars for remov-
ing rock from the front of Rock Is
land, and compare it with the pork
obtained from other appropriations.
it results either that the tri-cities
have been backward in getting their
share of plumber or the river and har
Dor bill is not as large steal as is
poPularly supposed. Modesty in their
demands on the general government
is not a conspicuous trait of the tri-
cities. so that the second assumption
appears the more proba ble."
