A Western Colorado Colony.

A colony OF Mormons is about to be
established in the Bluestone valley near
DeBeque on the western slope OF this
state, a short distance east OF Grand
Junction. 1t is move suggestive Of
what may be accomplished for that part
OF the country.
The important fact is not that these
OF indifference. but that they have re-
solved to purchase land in that locality
and engage in the production OF sugar
beets. They are industrious, sober peo-
pie, who will taxa advantage OF the ex-
istence Of Il good ditch in the valley and
reclaim the arid land by planting crops
and making it productive. Their pro-
duct will assist the Grand Junction
sugar factory to maintain supply Of
sugar beets and thus it will help to make
that industrial enterprise profitable.
There is great abundance Of land on
the western slope that needs only good
farmers such as those Mormons are to
make it highly productive. 1t can be
irrigated with little difficulty, for there
is a great abundance of water in the
Grand and Gunnison rivers that may be
utilized for irrigation. The trouble
there is not one of lack of water, but
rather of land upon which it can be
placed. The volume OF the streams is
large, but the valleys are comparatively
narrow. This will ultimately make the
land exceedingly valuable, and men who
are looking for opportunities to make
money both by the advance IN the price
OF their land and by the production OF
crops cannot find better locality than
the region about Grand Junction, Glen
wood Springs, Delta and Montrose
The settlement Of this colony from
Utah suggests that much along the same
line might be achieved by trying to es-
tablish such colonies from states east OF
the plains. In Iowa, Illinois, Kansas
and Nebraska there are, undoubtedly,
many farmers who could be induced to
sell their present holdings and remove
t, the irrigated valleys OF Western Col
orado, but ignorant of the resources Of
this state and Of the opportunities pre-
ssnted, they do not dare to venture so
fer west. They should be told about the
advantages OF agriculture under irriya
tion and OF the good markets to be found
in this section Of the country, II this
were done by il telligent and well-inform-
ed agents there would not be much
difficulty in organizing colonies to take
up some Of the land which west of the
mountains is now lying waste Denver

JOINS THE GENERAL CALL FOR
MONEY.
Sewer Flushing is Greatly Affecting the
Water Pressure and Compelling More
Pumping to Keep it UP.

The supply of water for Thomas
square, where the lawn has become
somewhat dried out lately, has been
much affected, it is stated. by the new
aTtesian well opened by the Rapid
transit company on Beretania street,
When the transit company starts It's
we'll the flow from the Thomas square
well greatly lessons. This is supposed
to show that the two wells take water
from the same strata. There are three
wells in this locality, and the manner
in which they affect one another shows
something of the conditions under
ground, from where the water comes
from.
The pumping station has the biggest
plan, and it has the drop on the Rapid
transit, as it has a pump, and the
transit company uses only the natural
flow. The latter has a well which it is
estimated has a capacity of 1000, 600
gallons a day if allowed to run all the
time. 1t does not do so, however and
when it is running, the effect is at once
noticeable on the well in Thomas
square.
The operation of the new sewer sys-
tenn threatents to play havoc with the
water supply in various parts of the
city. The sewers everywhere ara being
regularly flushed, and they take a
large quantity of water from the re-
servOirs, streams being kept running
day and night.
The amount used by the sewers will
be increased as more sewers are open
ed, and the water works are up against
the lack of funds like other depart
ments. Members of the Legislature are
being asked to provide money for COM
pletion of the Diamond Head reservoir.
Superintendent Andrew Brown said
Z this morning that he would be up
against it for coal soon, if some proVi-
sion was not made. THE amount of
water used by the sewers VIII make it
! necessary to keep the pumps going day
and night" said Brown "as we lose the
pressure soon under the influence of the
! increased outflow. This is doing away
with my pile of coal, and there is no
money in sight to get more"

BURGLAR WOODS BEGINS WORK
TODAY.
Sent Out With Gang Of Prisoners to
Work in Government Quaries-Has
Given No Trouble Yet.

Among the passengers on the Kinau
Saturday from Maui was Fred Woods
the notorious colored burglar who was
recently sentenced to life Imprisonment
by Judge Kalua of Wailuku.
Woods started on the longest job he
has ever had in his life this morning.
He was sent out with the band to work
on the quarries back of the insane asy-
lum. Profiting by their former expert
ence with Woods the Jail authorities
placed a heavy ball and chain on his
leg. This was selected in preference
to an Oregon Boot for the reason that
the man will not be retarded so much
in his movement and will be better able
to work with the gang.
Thus far he has given no trouble to
the authorities. From Maui comes the
report however that he made a vicious
assault upon Jailor Growell at the
Wailulu Jail several days ago curing
the course of Woods trial. Growell
was choked and slightly beaten accord
ing to the report but his injuries were
not serious.
Woods was convicted of burglary in
the first degree. He broke into one
store No. 5 at Spreckelsville, blew
open the safe and stole over 5000. He
was committed to the circuit court for
trial and pending the trial was kept in
the prison here. He made a desperate
effort to escape by scaling the high Jail
wall. He eluded capture for several
hours but was eventually caught in a
well.

LEGISLATORS STILL HOPE FOR
ONE.
Many Think 1t Will Come Late in the
Year If Not at the Present
Time.

Extra session talk has suddenly in
creased among the members of the
legislature, as a result of number of
conferences upon the subject, whitN
have given some of the members hope
that they will be allowed further time
in which to pass a loan bill and other
measures The matter has been con-
sidered by Acting Governor Cooper's s
heads of departments, and some of
them aret emphatically in favor of the
plan.
One scheme talked of is an agreement
between the executive department and
the lawmakers that only certain meas
ures shall be taken up in the new ses-
sion. If a session is once called there
will be no legal way to prevent passage
of whatever measures the members
favor, but it is said that an agree
ment might be made in advance, as a
sort of compromise between the eXecu
tive and legislative departments, in the
present deadlock.
IF an extra session cost $25, 900 for
expenses of the legislature" said one
of the cabinet" members this morning,
lit would be good investment at this
time, if it resulted in the passage of
a loan bill and other measures that are
necessary | have reason to believe
from conference with members of the
legislature. that they are disposed to do
hard work now, and L do not think they
would devote themselves to other than
the measures that are needed A thirty
day session would finish up the busi-
ness"
1t is stated that most of the heads
of departments are of the opinion that
an extra session will take place before
next December. By that time, according
to calculation, the government will be
broke" with half of the period to be
gone through passed. Among members
of the legislature of all parties the i'm
preston is quite general that there will
be an extra session, if not now, before
the end of the present year. Some Of
the members favor having it now and
getting the business through. Others
are of the opinion that it would be bet
ter to allow a few months for the pres
ent feelings to die out.

SIGNING SIXTY THOUSAND CERTI
FICATES.
Chinese Population of the Islands
Shown to be 2S, S,936-Making the Re-
port to Washington.

The total number of Chinese registra-
tion certificates issued in all the ISL
ands, by internal revenue collector
Chamberlain is 2S,936. AS there are
about 80 spoiled ones, this indicates
that the Chinese population of the ISL
ands is 2S,900. This is one-half the num-
ber of times that the collector had to
sign his name during the past three
months
Chamberlain made an earnest effort
to get Washington to allow him to use
a stamp or printed fac-simile OF mis-
signature. But the treasury depart
ment would not have it. The ruling
was made that he must take his pen
in hand and sign in ink each certificate,
in duplicate that was issued to a Chi
naman in the territory of Hawaii.
The work of issuing certificates, TAX
ing the photos of the Chinese and hunt
ing them up, has all been done in
about four months, and the collectors
part of the job has been by no means
the easiest. In addition to the work of
supervising the bureau, he was con-
stantly confronted with a huge pile of
certificates to be signed. Il thought
Washington would surely allow me to
print or stamp my signature" said
Chamberlain, land one of the first mat
ters l wrote about was that, but the
department wanted written signatures,
and so l have had to sit for hour after
hour and write my name at the bottom
of descriptions of Chinese, while the
clerks made out the papers There are
nearly $4,000 signatures. We had a
large force of men at work, of which
each man at the job was able to write
about 35 a day. I am glad it is over.
"SinCe we closed the work / have
heard of few Chinese who failed to
get certificates. Two came in here with
applications, and of course we could
not issue the papers. There is no ex-
cuse for any Chinaman here not having
a certificate now unless 1T is those who
have just come back from China, and
we do not know yet what will be done
in their cases. The two who came here
said that they had no money to get the
certificates, but they could easily have
secured it.
"I have been informed that there has
been a standing advertisement in a
local Chinese paper by a man who was
willing to supply Chinese with the
money to buy their certificates. The
advertiser is a wealthy Chinese and
when it was found that some of his
countrymen were not able to pay fol
registration, he advertised that they
might come to him for help, and I am
told that quite a large number of Homo
lulu Chinese We're aided by him."
The collector is now at work prepar-
ing his report to Washington, and max
ing up the vOluminous indexes that viii
be necessary to keep the 2S900 certifi-
Gates accessible. He states that he
does not think there are more than
fifty Chinese in all the islands unre-
gistered, which is remarkably good
showing. In the work of finding the
Chinese and convincing them of the
need of getting certificates, Chamber
lain was much assisted by Chinese Con
sui Yang Wal Pin, who helped me bu'
Geau on all the islands to get his coun
trymen properly registered.
