in person, at least the request Of the
committee for a conference.
Last night the committee issued the
following vague statement: THE COM
mittee of the National Association OF
Manufacturers came to Philadelphia
after meeting John Mitchell and his
associates at Buffalo on Tuesday, fol-
the purpose of considering measures
by which the coal strike could be end
ed, and this committee will meet again
October H."
The committee dispatched a messen'
ger to the Office of President Baer, oI
the Reading Company, announcing thaf
they were ready to meet the operators
The nature of Mr.. Baer's reply is mo-
known but in answer to a question the
railroad president said: Il know moth
ing about a committee" He declined
to make any further statement.

made, so that there will be shown

year In all the exhibits number
nearly 5000 Cattle sheep and hogs,

shown.
A highly interesting and instructive
innovation has been made this year

donors of the premiums for this years
contest have specified that the contest
be left open to all farmers sons, re-
gardless of their belonging to any ag-

leges an opportunity to prove up their
teachings and boys who are not able to
take the time for schooling have an op-
portunity to take part in the education
al feast. The governors of twelve wes-
tern states have accepted invitations
to attend and participate In the distri-

GEORGE C. FRANKLIN.

DURANGO. Colo. Nov. 2Sth, 1902.
George C. Franklin. ct al;
Gentlemen:-In compliance with
your instructions | have examined
the dam at Reservoir No. | of the pro
posed water storage system, on the
Florida river, between the reservoir
and the proposed point of diversion of
its water to the City of Durango, and
the proposed line for the flume from
said point of diversion to the City of
Durango.
Reservoir No. l is an ideal site for
a storage reservoir. The dam as
now constructed is timber and rock
fill dam.
There are three cribs made of
spruce logs firmly drift-bolted togeth-
err, and these cribs are ten feet In
width, and there is a space of ten
feet between the cribs. The cribs
and space between them are filed
with loose rock. The ends of the
cribs are set into the solid rock on
either side. The stability of such a
structure can hardly be questioned.
A waste-way of sufficient width has
been excavated through solid rock to
carry larger volume of water than
can possibly ever come down the river
this point. The dam as at present
constructed is IS feet In height and
323 feet in length.
The amount OF water stored by this
dam according to Engineer Burwell's
survey, is 1876 ,4s9 800 gallons. or q
sufficient supply for the city for l5t
days.
BY increasing the height of this
dam six feet, the length OF the dan
will be increased to 360 feet and the
capacity will be increased 77,427, 900
gallons.
The base of the dam as at present
constructed is OF sufficient strength
| and width to increase the height thit
| amornt. at cost not to exceed
| $4,000.
AS II Will not be necessary tt
draw upon this supply until after July

needs, this reservoir will supply tn,
| city during the months of July ant
August. After this time. the city car
be supplied from the river direct. a.
there will be sufficient supply avail
