The machinery for forcing oil into
the new tank recently built by the
Southern Pacific has been completed,
and oil has commenced to arrive. The
tank cars hold over six thousand bar
rels. After the FIRST one had been
emptied into the tank an inqusitive
railrOader climbed to the top Of the
tank to see how near the car came to
filling it. He reported there appeared
to be a damp spot in the bottom Of
the tank which looked like a grease
spot. The tank is arranged so that
two cars can be emptied at one time.
The cars are placed in position on the
tank by the side of the house, and are
considerable above the bottom of the
tank. The outlet gate of the car is
connected with a pipe which enters
the bottom of the tank. AS long as
the level Of the oil 10 the tank is be-
low the outlet TO the car gravity will
empty the car. When the level OF the
car gets above the outlet of the car
the covering Of the man hole at the
top of the car is made air tight and
compressed air is forced above the
oil, and this forces the oil into the
tank. When a locomotive is to be
loaded oil is let out of the tank into a
drum placed below the level Of the
tank, so it can be filled by gravity.
Compressed air forces it into the pipes
leading up to two stands alongside the
steel tank near the depot. Discharge
pipes from these stands. n on each
track, are pulled over and the oil is
discharged into the reservoir on the
tender in much the same manner az
the water is put in TO the water tank
on the tender.

Boulder. Colo, Aug. 2.-This has
been by far the most exciting day ever
witnessed at the Chautauqua. The
large auditorium, capable Of holding
over 1900 people, was full of interest
ed and enthusiastic spectators. Not
,only were the seats packed, but peo-
pie stood in the aisles, crowded on the
large platform and around the outside.
The occasion for all this exuberance
of spirit was the rock drilling contest.
In front OF the platform and in view
of the vast audience were two i'm
mense granite blocks. As each team
went to work the partisnns would
cheer and then keep up this line of
music with constant yells Of encour-
agement.

Greeley, Colo, Aug. Q. - Den-

thusiastic meeting of the farmers and

Charles d. Todd made n few re-
marks regarding the cost of produc-
tion and the labor question, after
which subscriptions were again called
for, which came in steadily until the
full 5000 acres necessary to establish
a factory here were guaranteed.
This assures n sugar beet factory

will commence in September of this
year. There were 1,2S3 acres sub
scribed this evening, and when the

That the German government will
in any way resent the arrest of Abel
Murillo on board the German steamer
Allegheny at Cartagena, Colombia. is
extremely improbable. The Colom-
bians may have erred in refusing the
Allegheny clearance merely because
her captain refused voluntarily to de-
liver Murillo to them. But their right
to remove Murillo from the ship Is un
questionable The German consul's
reported protest against his removal
had no legal basis. Murillo's theat-
rical performance in wrapping the
German flag about his body in no way
altered the situation.
The Allegheny was in Colombian
port and while there was subject to
that country's laws. A merchant ves-
sci SO situated cannot afford refuge
to persons of her own nationality,
much less to subjects OF the country in
whose waters she is. Great Britain
has sometimes attempted to establish
the principle that British ships are
British territory wherever they are,
but the United States settled that
point with her in the war of 1872. The
United States has always maintained
the right to do precisely what the CO.
lombians did. American police have
often searched English and other for
eign ships in our ports and arrested
persons thereon. and have always been
sustained by Washington.
The uproar about Murillo's arrest
proceeds from his fellow passengers.
One of these. and apparently. the wri-
ter of the statement they gave to the
press is an Englishman. His animus Is
disclosed by the last sentence of the
statement, declaring 1t safer to take
a steamship covered by the ever-re-
spected union jack" Anxiety to make
a point against Germany and in favor
of England appears to have inspired
this Briton's effort to convince the
public that the German flag was in
suited" by Murillo's arrest.
The Murillo incident would probably
have attracted no special attention
were not the impression somewhat
general that Germany greatly desires
to obtain some political foothold In
South America. and hence is likely to
seize upon almost any small pretext tn
make such an attempt. Whatever may
be the German governments desires In
that direction is not material. The
Monroe doctrine is barrier to any
such aims. and both the interests and
the safety of the United States demand
that the Monroe doctrine be strictly
enforced. 1t will be enforced, against
Germany or any other power attempt
ing to violate it.

Numerical Excess of the Sex Not as Great
rs Commonly Supposed.
The census recently completed shows
that the feminine population is increas-
ing at n rapid rate in the large cities
and it is predicted that this country
will presently be confronted by n prob
lem that has worried foreign statisti-
clans for some time-the preponder-
ance of women. 1t is admitted that
the women here have the advantage
over their foreign sisters in that many
fields of work are opened to them and
they can also hold and dispose of
property 10 8n extent unknown on the
other side. So that the American wo-
man is in n great measure economic
ally Independent of man, and thus does
she escape some of the serious conse-
quences that afflict the foreign woman
1t seems pity that any one at this
late day should fall to worrying about
the superfluous woman myth. 1t is
such an old, old story, and one that
has times without number proven to
be needlessly disturbing. As to the
bogey of so many women, did 1t ever
occur to the alarmists to attempt to
figure how many of these feminine
overplus were widows who persist in
outliving their husbands ten, twenty
or even thirty years and spinsters of
uncertain age. Statistics published
about ten years ago showed that in
London, where the woman population
is greatly in excess of the male, be-
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
five the men We're in excess. The trou-
bic appears to be mainly with the wo-
men of fifty and over, who are much
more persistent about holding on to
life than are their contemporaries
among men. When women as a class
are economically independent the
alarmist articles about the superhuous
woman will cease. for who would dare
to apply to a bread-winner SO oppro-
brious title as superfuous.

and was greeted by Governor Orman
he was the guest of honor of the state
of Colorado in general and the Quarto-
Centennial df Colorado Springs in par
ticular. He was the predominating
feature, as 1t We're, of n day replete in
features. He was the cynosure of all
eyes; the object of continuous ap-
plause and cheers wherever he showed
himself; the one central figure OF the

RADIO Springs of the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the admission of Colorado
into the sisterhOod OF states.
The vice president arrived on the
Santa Fe train Mt 9:35 n. m. and was
greeted on the platform at the depot
by Governor Orman in few eloquent
words of welcome, to which he re-
sponded with an expression of thanks
for the cor(liality of his welcome.
Another storm of cheers broke out
and then, linking his arm into that of
the governor, the vice president
walked through the cheering hundreds
of people to the carriage in waiting
for him. Into the carriage he stepped,
followed by Governor Orman. Adju-
tant General Gardner and ID. i. Fair
ly, president of the chamber Of COM
merce.
The procession formed in Pixies Peak
avenue and as 1t moved up the broad
avenue there was n hurricane OF cheers
from the hundreds Of people that
massed around the depot grounds and
In the surrounding streets.
As the head of the parade reached
Nevada street. Just as the entrance to
the main business section, the Pueblo
band started up n lively tune.
The sight that here met the gaze Of
the city's guest was awe-inspiring. At
the foot OF the avenue rose the great
Antlers hotel, from each tower Of
which fiOated n mammoth flag. Upon
Its balconies and porte courche were
hundreds of people and banking up
the street to the vice presidential car
riage were thousands of other people.
At the Antlers hotel there was m
inspiring sight. While yet the cheer
Ing continued the Colorado Midland
band played rally Round the Flag"
and 300 little boys and girls, dressed
In red. white and blue, and wearing
turbans to correspond with their
clothes, marched up the center of Cas-
cade avenue. They came up, and,
grouping before his carriage, sang
America Their childish treble
seemed unusually low and sweet COM
pared with the stentorian shouts and
cries that had greeted him.
At the conclusion OF the anthem Mr..
Roosevelt shook hands with most Of
the children. Then began the forma-
ton of the parade for North Park,
where the vice president was sched-
uled to speak ut 1890 o'clock. First
came the high school cadets, then the
G. A. X. drum corps, followed by the
G. A. Il. As every veteran passed the
Vice President he lifted his hat.
At North park there was an immense
concourse of people, an almost impen-
etrable mass. Here n large speakers

Vice President Roosevelt made the ad-
