Work Is Progressing.

Seyenty-hve teams and about twice
that many men are at work on the
big Jackson Lake reservoir down near
Orchard. The contract calls for the
entire work completed next fall and
will no doubt be done by that time.
The feeder 20 feet wide and Il miles
long. is practically completed. The
headgate and dam at the river are
completed and water is now being
run into the lake. The outleu ditch
is nearly finished and the embank-
ment about half done.
The reservoir when the dam
reaches the proposed height Will
have capacity of /, 700, 900, 600 cubic
feet and will cover an area OF about
3. 500 acres, The dam is about two
miles long and at its greatest height
35 feet. Thirty-fve feet OF water
can be drawn of when the reservoir
is full. The water is to be used to
supplement the supply in the Fort
Morgan. Platte and Beaver bitches.

The fact that Russell was short ia
his accounts was discovered about
three weeks ago while he was In
Denver on little spree. When ne
failed to return at the promised time
his employers grew uneasy about 1t
and quickly glanced over the books
to learn il any irregularities existed.
Such were soon discovered and MIR.
Parker, accompanied by Marshal
Camp, went to Denver and found
Russell, very much under the IN
tiuence OF liquor He came back
with them after admitting that he
had misappropriated the funds OF the
firm. He turned over Jewelry OF his
own and his wife to the amount OF
about $500 to straighten up the mat
ter. 1t was supposed that he was
thoroughly penitent and would settle
with the firm for the full amount OF
any shortage, but he left between two
suns, and in a day or two his wlte
shipped their furniture to NO. 2lo
Christopher street, New York, and
also disappeared.
Russell came here from New 1ork
about "a half year ago for the benefit
cf his wife's health. He claimed to
have left lucrative position with a
New York banking house. He was
we'll educated aud fine bookkeeper.
So much did he enjoy the confidence
of Mosher & Parker that they woLid
sign any check he made out, without
question. Often, it Is said, tf,ese
checks were made out to fictitious
parties, and Russell would then en-
dorse them himself and cash them to
his own account.

Kinley, the government father of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
A Number of these numismatic
gems have reached this city and are
being shown aud sold by the First
National bank. The various jewelry
mOuntings that may be had for this
official souvenir" make them partic-
ularly adaptable for gift purposes
and the purchaser enjoys a guarantee
and price protection that has never
been given with souvenir coin.
The proceeds from the sale OF the
Louisiana Gold Dollar Will be directly
employed for general exposition pur-
poses and the purchaser and those
assisting in Its sale not only evince A
patriotism worthy OF the grand COM

EQUALlzERS COMING
They Will Talk Hard to County
Assessors.

State Auditor j. A. Holmberg and
Secretary of State James Cowie are
expected in Greeley in about week
to see IL they cannot induce Assessor
Wylle to raise the county valuations
on the property and reduce the levy.
The two gentlemen are members CT
the state board Of equalization.
body whose principal mission is to
see that property owners in general
pay enough taxes so that the rail-
roads do not need to pay any. The
state needs more money to take care
OF all Its pra~sos who are unable to
make living for themselves. The
law allows certain per cent OF the
taxes in each county to 90 for state
purposes. The smaller the valuation
on farm and other property, the
smaller the amount the state gets.
Consequently low valuation and
high levy is better for the farmers
tnan a high valuation and low levy,
and the same amount OF money will
be raised for county purposes either
way, but when the valuation is high
and levy small much larger amount
goes to the state. 1t is charged by
members of the board of equalization
that land in Weld, Larimer and
Boulder counties which is worth 5000
al acre is assessed at only SlS to $50
an acre. Such statement the as
SCISSORS of the three counties men-
toned say is absurd They smile
and say if the state board will raise
valuations of railroad property enough
to eaualize things the assessors will
also raise valuations, but they object
vigorously to making the counties
bear all the expense Of the state and
to let the railroads 90 almost scott
free.
Valuation per acre in Weld county
has Lean practically the sane here
for years, except the two years that
Stevens was assessor.

In a fast and clever game of ball
at the Bolton Street Park yesterday
afternoon the Y. NJ. C. AS evened up
with the soldier boys from Fort Screw
en-. The attendance was the best of
the year. and the game was thoroughly
enjoyed throughout.
Both teams were in good shape and
the positions were filled by the strong
est players of the teams. The asso-
citation boys went to the bat first and
Immediately got their eye on Werner
delivery. In one, two, three order, and
further, they banged the sphere out
for safe and sacrifice hits, and while
keeping the soldier boys busy, chalked
four runs.
The game was won right there, for
the soldiers marked only one to their
credit when they went to the bat, and
only once more in the game did they
repeat. and that was with only one
score, in the last inning. The associa-
ton boys did not stop there, however,
but put in some more fast work in the
third inning, which netted two runs,
and again in the fourth they batted
in another score.
The game was a very evenly played
one and full of good playing. The

The club promises one of the most ex-
citing races between evenly matched
boats that has ever been sailed over
the Thunderbolt course. Manager Nell
son of the Casino has rendered the use
of the band stand for the starters, and
has also promised to have the First
Regiment Band on hand, which will
lend materially to the pleasure of the
day.
The skipper" of the band has prom

loose they will make Sousa's aggre-
CATION look like a Yamacraw jug band.
The committee thinks the Skipper de-
serves lots of credit for the fight he has
made to retain the corps of good must
clans he has, and will show material
appreciation Of his efforts, and, the
band, in turn, promises the lovers of
yacht races a musical treat.
The course laid out along the front
of the Casino and bluff from the start

boat at nearly the other end of the
bluff and back along the bluff and
past the starting point to a stake boat
off Turner's Rocks, will furnish the

Railroad Engineers in Fiction and
Fact.

Adrian Kirk in April McClure's.
The popular notion of a locomotive
engineer is of a nerve-racked man
who spends half his time under a
fearful strain, cool, but aware Of
great danger, with one hand pull
ing open the throttle to the last
notch, the other on the reverse
lever, ready to back her. and, with
word to his fireman to jump, himself
to stick to his post. If this were so,
then all that I had been seeing else
where was exceptional. Well, 1t isn't
so. These men are all very much
alike; at bottom they are of one type.
Slow of speech, composed in mind and
body; intelligent, but not keen; ready,
but not especially alert: they talk
quietly, sensibly about their business.
They don't know what nerves are,
apparently. ! found two at home on
their "off day." and one was lying
down, he other sitting idly and it was
plain they could rest; they could lie
still, sit still, stand still. In other
words, they had the repose had
