Work on Tunnels.
Work on the Virginia Avenue cut and
tunnel is being pushed % per cent faster
than on the big boring which Is TO go
under the Capitol by the way of First
Street. The contractors are working a
steam shovel daily on the First Street
operation. together with as many labor
ers as they can use conveniently. The
result OF this enterprise is that more
than three blocks of the tunnel, with its
approach. has been excavated. Many
thousand square yards of gravel and vel
low sand ana clay have been removed and
dumped on big fat cars which have car
ried it out for grading purposes on the
Pennsylvania line between here and Ma
gruder, Nd The cold weather. however,
has frozen the ground and the work is
now going on much slower Only the
approach to the First Street tunnel has
been attacked. If the weather becomes
very cold it is likely that the work will
not progress very rapidly until next
spring.
Quantities of Material
In the meantime the railroads and
contractors are piling up the material
needed for the construction OF the tun-

available place in the District. For
the last six weeks there has been
scarcely a day that several carloads of
timber. iron. brick, stone, and steel have
not been brought into the city. At
Eckiuy t;n there is nearly a million dol
lars wOf,i of material piled about the

struct a small city. The contractors

REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF
CHARITIES AND CORREC CTION

ditional appropriation for steam heat
of $1,000, as requested by the prison
commissioners. We believe that q sep
arate board Of control for this institu-
ton should be created, as we do not
believe that the prison commission is
the proper body to conduct the affairs
at the reformatory. This would entail
no additional expense on the state.
We believe that a reformatory should
be established in suitable location at
some point in the state convenient to
markets, where farm land may be util-
lied to financial advantage. The prop
erty now used for the reformatory may
well be used as a prison hospital for
tubercular criminals and for the GRIM
inal insane. The separation Of tuber-
cular from non-tubercular subjects in
state prisons is not novel form OF
philanthropy. Such separation has
been had for a number of years in
some of the other states. In the state
prisons Of New York, in the five years
that have passed since the segregation
Of tubercular subjects, the deaths
from tuberculosis have lessened seven
ty-one per cent. With this and like
facts before us, 1t is scarcely less than
criminal for Colorado deliberately to
expose helpless persons to one OF the
most terrible of the infectious diseases;

ed by the law"

aside from it's earnings, is recommend
ed for the psnitentiary. The Bertillon

Pardons be authorized to employ a sec
retary other than the secretary of the

STEEL RAIL CONTRACTS LET
FOR EIGHTY MILES OF TRACK

Denver, Jan. 6.-The Colorado-Utah
Construction Company, which is build
ing the Moffat road. yesterday let a
contract for 10000 tons of eighty
pound steel rails for use on the first
division of the road now under con-
struction. The contract was awarded
to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany. and under its terms the rails are
to be delivered at any time when called
for by the construction company. with
in this year, the first delivery to be
made in April. The contract price was
not stated. but is understood to be in
the neighborhood of 100000. The
present market price for steel rails is
from $28 to $50 a ton.
The letting OF this contract marks
the second step in the 1903 compaign Of
the new route. Operations under the
grading contracts let for the FIRST thir-
ty-six miles Of the road began with the
opening of the new year. and the cir
cumstances surrounding the letting Of
yesterdays contract for rails show
what progress the road builders expect
to make during the ensuing twelve

enough to lay eighty miles Of track.
The company expects the grading con-
tractors to have made sufficient prog
ress by the opening of spring to permit
track laying. This will be begun at
Leyden Junction. the present terminus
OF that portion Of the road already
built. Further grading contracts it is
expected will be let before spring. and
the rest Of the steel rails will be ready
In time for use upon this extension.
Several Of the principal steel COM
panies Of the country offered to furnish
the company with rails. and. II is said
there was active competition in the ef-
fort to get the order. The Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company is furnishing
the greater portion OF trackage ma
terial for other western roads which
enter Colorado.
The rail specified by the cons;ruc-
ton company in the contract is the
heaviest used by railroads in the coun-
try, and is similar to that which the
Denver & Rio Grande is using in relay.
ing the tracks on the main lines OF the
system and in replacing the narrow
gauge. Transcontinental roads running
into Denver use a somewhat lighter
rail.

REPORT OF IRISH
LAND CONFERENCE

London, Jan. 6.-The Irish land con-
It's deliberations. in which 1t is de-
clared that the only satisfactory set
tlement of the existing land question
Is the substitution of an occupying, or
proprietary ownership of land for the
existing dual ownership. AS the pro-
cess Of direct state interference In
purchase and resale would be gener
ally tedious and unsatisfactory, there
fore. except where owners or half oc-
cupiers SO desire and except in those
districts under the congested districts
board, the report recommends that
the settlement should be made be-
tween the owner and the Occupier sub
ject to the necessary investigation by
the state as to title, rent and security.
The report emphasizes the desira-
bility of inducing landlords to con-
tinue to reside in Ireland, and with
this purpose In view 1t says an equi-
table price should be paid to owners,
based upon income, and that provision
ought to be made for the resale to
owners of mansion houses and de-
mesnes. The purchase price should
either be assurance by the state Of
such income, or the payment OF cap
ital sum producing 1t at three per
cent. or three and one-fourth per cent.
II guaranteed by the state tenants re-
payments should be expended for a
term OF years. securing q reduction Of
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent.
on rents. To do this may involve
some assurance from the state beyond
the use Of its credit, and the report
considers that such assistance would
be JUSTIFIED fully In the future welfare
Of ireland and the settlement Of this
vexed probleI

Denver, Jan. 6.-The sixth biennial
report Of the State Board of Charities
and Correction was filed yesterday
with Governor Orman. The report
makes numerous recommendations for
legislative action, 1t advises a per diem
instead Of a stated salary as at present
for boards of control, trustees and COM
missioners of the various institutions
1t asks special appropriation for the
improvement Of the sanitary condition
of the Soldiers and Sailors Home. and
commends the work for the School for
Deaf and Blind. 1t recommends new
hospital for the insane to be built in
the northern part of the state, and for
that reason does not recommend the
buildings asked for by the lunacy COM
mission at Pueblo, for male patients,
but does ask for $4,000 for the compile
ton Of the building for women patients
at Pueblo. 1t recommends an appro-
priation Of $3.50, for maintenance Of
the Pueblo asylum. besides one of $685.
600 for repairs and improvements. 1t
urges also general revision of the
laws relating to the commitment and
discharge of insane patients.
The board asks that 100000 be ap-
propriated for the State Home for De-
PohuChI SAiiuicA, VoV,VVV VI WulCu
shall be put into permanent buildings
1t asks that $4,000 be given to the In
dustrial School for Girls.
In reference to the Industrial School
for Boys the board suggests that Wig
orous, central, authoritative admins
tration Of the institution is required.
An appropriation of $1,000 is recon-
mended with which to purchase fifty
acres Of adjoining land for garden;
$4,000 for running expenses, and $685.
900 for permanent improvements.
With reference to the reformatory
at Buena Vista the board said:
I'VE desire to renew what we said
two years ago regarding the unsatis-
factory conditions of this institution.
1t is in no sense a reformatory and
until 1t can be organized on proper
basis we cannot recommend additional
appropriations for buildings. There
fore, the only recommendations that
we would make at this time regarding
appropriations is that maintenance
