INDIAN SCHOOL SEWERS.
A Big Sum Appropriated to Build
Same. .-.-No Conflict Hereafter.

The question OF drainage and sewer
age for Teller institute is going to be
solved by the government itself, so that
there will be no more complaints be-
tween the people residing in proximity
thereto. Money will be appropriated
for building sewer system, without
making connection with the sewers of
the city, which was first broached.
The following special telegram from
Washington to the Denver News relatss
what action is being taken in tho mat
ter: .I
An additional $4,000 will be added to
the appropriation for the Teller insti-
tute. This item 10 for tho purpose Of
providing q proper system Of sewerage
for the ipstitur zion. 1t was inadvertent-
ly omitted from the estimates whom they
were furnished she house committee on
Indian affairs by the commissioner Of In
dian affairs and unless the matter can be
remedied before the appropriation bill is
reported it will have to be added to the
bill when it reaches the senate. Com
missioner Jones has made known to SEN
ator Teller his failure to make the pro-
vision and has received Senator Teller's
promise to look out for the item when
the bill comes before the senate.
With this $4,000 the superintendent
OF the Teller institute will be able to
supply a complete sewer system to the
school and settle question which hes
been OF considerable annoyance to the
school a. we'll as the people OF Grand
junction. The system at present in use
is inefficient and has caused complaint.
The municipality OF Grand junction has
offered the government a connection
with the city sewer in consideration Of .
perpetual yearly rental Of $50 and the
promise to keep the school'system and
city system in repair. This proposition
the government considers unfair and
now proposes to remedy the entire mat
ter by building a complete system with
an outlet independent Of the city's sew-
er. The appropriation for the Teller in
stirute as at present provided for in the
appropriation bill amounts to about S47 >
600. 1t is not considered that the chan
ces of the additional $4,000 are jeopar-
dized by the failure OF the Indian com
missioner to mention it to the Indian af-
fairs committee.

"Some years ago" said the narrator.
ian oil boom hit Litchfeld, Ills. and
everybody for miles around was seen
smiling for oil and every stranger sus-

for him had he not been possessed of a

ennial attempt to trade off his land
for twice It's value.
when the boom was Mt the top notch,
LOomls received visitor who took so
much Interest In the farm, so liked its
appearance. location. etc, that the old
farmer scented petroleum man and
saw visions of Incalculable wealth:
but, being n shrewd man, Loomis did
not care TO take any unnecessary
chances with Providence, and on the
quiet he sent the hired man out the
back way with orders to dump the kerr
osene can into the well. The visitor
liked the entire place. Inspected the
barn, the chicken yard and then, as II
by chance, asked for drink of water.
"Loomls was waiting for that and
hauled up brlmming bucket before
the mans own eyes and poured him out
n gourdful of liquid with fine. opa-
lescent scum upon II. The visitor smell
ed the stuff, tasted II. made wry face
and asked If the water was always like
