rumors of q most persisa SAINT ma
ture to the effect that the iJndika
Grain Company had in con templa-
ton the erection of ma @lmmoth
grain elevator in this city have
been afoat but nothing definite
concerning the rumored senter-
prise could be obtained, butt from
the action taken by the Citu
Council at last nights meaetinp
the prospects are that the rpS Smors
are soon TO crysta4lze INTO s3ome-
thing more definite.
Although totally unknown to
the citizens of Missouri Va,llav
representatives of the Upd3ike
Company have been paying Mis-
souri, Valley frequent visits d ur.
ing the past few weeks and Abe
company now has options or a
tract of land located on Nin,tb

The concessions granted by the
council last night consisted chic, t.
| ly of the vacation of a strip Of
ground along the east side c,f
Ninth street extending from thth
Northwestern tracks to the sittp
the grain company has selected,
The strip of ground vacated for
the use of the grain company is
of sufficient width TO permit the
construction of track facilities
which will extend from the North
western main line to the elevator
The Council offered the Company
] further inducements by exempt
ing from city tax on the new ele-
vator for q period Of ten ears.
As yet the citizens of Missouri
Valley with but two or three ax.
ceptions, are not in position 10

new enterprise which is Low
but secured for this c.sy II
elevator if constructed will be or
of the largest in this section of
the country. 1t will have stor-
age capacity of over half a million
bushels of grain and will be used
by the Updike concern as stor
age elevator; all the grain taken
in at the Company's numerous
elevators in Nebraska and West
ern Iowa being shipped direct to
Missouri Valley where it will be
stored until shipped to the mar
kets. No Information concerning
the dimensions Of the building
: can be given at the present time
owing the fact the Omaha repre-
!. sentative of the Updike Company
$ could not be reached by telephone

pected here tomorrow it is pro
bable that more definite informa
tion concerning the Company
plans can be obtained at the tim,

There is now on exhibition in the

"Arithmometer," which as its name
indicates is intended to do problems
involving arithmetical processes. Any
set of figures amounting in the aggre-

figures accurately and neatly placed
on paper in manner similar to the
work of typewriter, and the sum

method I'm vogue by the ladies' for ths

Legislators Have Time to Burn.
(Ouray Herald.)

A returning Ourayite has some in
teresting things to tell of the present
spelling-bee now in session in Denver.
1t is commonly known as the legis-
ature. The, gentleman has been in
the capital several weeks, and as his
visit was principally one of pleasure
he spent some time in the halls OF
legislation. He learned some things
that the newspapers do not tell and
he found a great many things which
they relate to be solemn facts. He
says the "roasts" are not exaggerated
by any means and trip to the legis-
lative hall will convince the most pre-
JUDGED of that fact.
He says the sessions remind one
more of country spelling bee than
that of dignified body of law-mak-
their tendencies to spend the time in
petty quibblings instead of more i'm
portant matters. A resolution came
up for discussion during one of the
Ourayite's visits to the assembly hall.
After a somewhat extended debate 1t
was decided to refer the matter to a
committee. The gladiators immedi-
ately squared themselves in opposing
lines and over two hours were spent
in debating the question as to wheth-
er the matter should be referred to
the Judiciary or the labor committee.
How two valuable hours could be con
sumed In this worthless manner il
something beyond the ken of com
mon everyday citizen. Maybe the
present legislature could give 'plau-
sible" reasons for it. Their business
is making buncomb reasonable and
the common citizens business is to
pay for it and look pleasant.

NEW STEAM PLANT AIDS
THE SllvERToN SHELTER

| Various difficulties have beset the
kendrick & Gelder smelter at Silver
ton The plant was built to run by
water power, requiring long pipe lines
and fumes. Just afer the trial runs
were made. which, by the way. were
entirely satisfactory to the owners.
demonstrating the feasibility of the
Bretherton hot blast method, very
cold weather came on and froze up
the water power. The management
then put In steam plant, which had
no sooner gotten under fair headway
than defective fy-wheel went to
pieces. A new one was ordered, sent
by express, and according to the lat
est report. the works resumed again
yesterday.
1t is now fully equipped to operate
by water or steam, as desired, and
no further Interruptions are antici-
pated. as the chapter of accidents ap-
pears to be quite exhausted.
Meanwhile the miners have been
hauling ores to the smelter on such
OF the wagon roads as were passable.
While there is little Or no snow in the
town of Silverton there are immense
masses of it in the higher ranges.
where most of the developed mines
are situated. Mr.. Kendrick states
That the company has six to eight
thousand tons of ore on hand. which
VIII supply the furnaces until the
roads are reopened and the various
producing channels In good working
order again, He states that the hot
blast system is very economical in
the consumption of fuel and highly
effective in reducing the ore to matte.
Frequent assays of the Stag, or waste.
show only 90 cents per ton.

necessary for the control of the H.
quor business. Lawmakers, seeing
the enormity of the ills of liquor,
have expressed themselves on every
phase of the question. 1t is the lack
of the enforcement of the laws al
ready in existence that we need to de-
plore. We don't think much about
lack OF enforcement until we suffer
through it."
The speaker then touched on patri-
otism, stating that the man who ig-
nores the law of the country puts the
section around him in state of anar-
chy. Why should the executive be
allowed to pick out what laws he
shall enforce? Then, too, when men
think they can trample on the law
with impunity. no law is sacred. 1t
comes down to one of two things
Either that men are powerless to ex-
ecute the law for lack of public sen.
timent. or they wink at the violation
of law. Take your choice"
Surely there is no fanatacism in
insisting that the license calls for
certain privileges, and no more
should be allowed, said the speaker
Also, that when We go to the polls
moral issues should carry the day
Not party. nor party lines. but love
of home. youth and nation.

New Engines for the Fourth Division
(Alamosa Courier.)

Business on the Fourth division of
the Denver & Rio Grande has for the
past three or four years increased
enormously and constantly, for no ap-
parent reason beyond the natural de
velopment of the abundant resources
of the country.
The motive department is in chron-
ic state of inability to keep Zip with
the demand for more and more power.
Last week at one time there were $50
loads scattered between Alamosa and
Durango which could not be moved,
Two new engines were received
last week and put into service, and
two more came this week. And still
every engine on the division is work
ing at its full capacity. The new
engines are not exactly new, being
old narrow gauge engines from other
parts Of the system. rebuilt in the

Games VIII Close.
(OIlray Herald.)

1t seems to be the general opinion
among the sporting fraternity as well
as among majority of our citizens
that the district attorney holds the
winning hand in the district and as he
has expressed the determination to
close gambling in this city everybody
seems to concede that he will do it.
Several peace negotiations have been
attempted to be carried on with the
district attorney but they were of no
avail. He tells the ENJOYS that they
all look alike to him and that if
they do not want trouble in this peace
full village they had better close their
little games and seek other occupa-
tions.
