AN OPPORTUNITY TO
OBTAIN FLORIDA WATER

The council met Saturday evening
took action in the matter. c. T. Nor
gan presented the Boyle proposition,
which promised the building of pipe
line, reservoir and priority rights for
water for the sum of s115.000. A
check for $3.50 was submitted as a to-
ken of good faith that work would
be commenced inside of thirty days if
accepted. The discussion was as to
the water that could be furnished un-
der the proposition. 1t was virtually
decided that the Van Cott proposition
was the best, as it will furnish the
necessary water for city ten times
the present size. The members then
voted on an ordinance providing for
bonds in the sum of $150,000 with
which to secure Florida water, build a
reservoir and construct pipe line. 1t
is figured that the above sum will be
ample. possibly in excess, of the
amount necessary to install the new
system. The Van Cott proposition
turns over the various reservoir sites
on the Upper Florida upon which the
Williams people have spent large sums
of money, the completion of certain
work now under headway along with
certain water rights, for 100000. The
cost of pipe line and new reservoir
is estimated at between 100000 and
$751; 900. but in order to make it certain
it was thought best to place the bond
issue at $150.000.
The ordinance granting right of way
to the San Juan Coke & Gas com
pany was taken up and passed.
The election under the ordinances
will take place the second day of De
cember.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

o
The great coal strike in the east has
for a time overshadowed the political
situation.
Undoubtedly there was some con-
nection between the two. 1t is assert
ed by the operators that the strikers
depended largely for their success
upon political pressure that
would surely be brought to bear to-
ward a settlement, and it was one of
their reasons for refusing arbitration
that they believed that any conces-
sions would result in another strike at
the time of the. next national or con-
gressional election.
On the other hand. the politicians
of both parties have been watching
the strike carefully, and the voters
have been watching the politicians.
The Democrats saw in the big strike
national calamity, and as calamities
are always considered to be favorable
to Democratic chances they have been
very busy trying to make the best of
1t. and as usual with very little regard
to the past record or established
principles of their party Thus the
New York Democrats. without the
slightest concern for the principle of
states rights, one of the most cardi.
nal of Democratic doctrines. forthwith
declared for the ownership and con-
trol of coal mines by the government
The Republicans on their side have
been doing what they could to bring
7 about settlement of the strike on
hot e.;
BILE to all concerned. The leader of
this movement has been President
Roosevelt. and it is not too much to
say that while his efforts in his
efforts has redounded greatly to his
credit and has increased his populari-
ty immensely, it has also added incal-
culably to the strength of his party.
Instead of the strike being a dan
ger to the Republicans, as was con
fidently asserted some weeks ago. it
has strengthened the Republican posi-
tion, and the party now has better
chance of success than it had before
the strike.
The only thing that has ever been in
question was the house of representa-
tives. The senate is assured. and for
the lower house it has been a matter
of majority rather than of party con-
troll.
The settlement of the strike and the
admirable course of President Roos-
veelt in standing firm for the rights OF
the people, and in demanding and Sc
curing a basis of settlement that is
fair and just to all concerned. makes
it probable that the Republican ma
jority in the next congress will be
greater than it is in this one
Under such circumstances it would
be absolutely foolish for the people of
Colorado to send Democratic represen-
tatives to Washington.
1t is of the highest Importance that
our congressional influence should be
eXerted within the Republican party
in behalf of the measures and policies
with which we are concerned.
Colorado should strengthen the
ranks of the beet sugar advocates, of
the irrigation advocates, of the trade
expansion advocates. of the wool and
hides tariff advocates and of the ter
ritorial statehood advocates-in the
Republican party.

faith in him had not for an instant
wavered. Even now he had a letter
in his pocket, received three days ne-
fore, and not yet opened.
Down here in the depth of the hold,
alone, with everything he had known
about to be left behind, his heart had
suddenly grown tender and sore. 1t
might be years before he would see
the gentle old face again. and at the
thought his fingers reached foi the
letter and drew it out softly-ani ten
derby. But it was already dark in the
hold and he could not see.
For moment he stroked it re-
morsefully. then he pushed the case
aside and CROPPED his way out among
the boxes and bales. He would seek
the hatchway or some place where
there was light enough to read the
letter. He must find out what the old
mother had to say; and he would re-
turn--he would-and do everything
that he had promised. He would go
back to the little farm and take care
of the. mother in her old age. He
could make a living there, and that
was more than he was sure of in a
city.
For an hour there had been the
fnal sounds of departure overhead,
but he had not noticed this. AS he
went forward, however, he was con-
scious of a peculiar sensation of ris-
| ing and falling. which told him that
the ship was under wsy.
The hatchway was not closed, but
even there il would have been too
dark but for light somewhere above
which sent a dull shaft into the hold
In this he opened the letter and read :
Dear Sammy: I'm down with the
