STEEL PLANT.
Within Another Year Colorado
Will Have Another Big One.

Denver. Feb. 5.-Within a year
Colorado will have another big steel
plant and so close to Denver that
this city will feel all the benefits that
result from such an extensive indus
try.
The new enterprise was assured
yesterday. when articles of incorpora-
tion Ware filed with the secretary of
state for the Frontier Coal and Steel
company. And behind the enterprise
are the millions of the United States
Steel company and all it's vast power
and resources.
This boon for Colorado and the
city of Denver in particular is due to
the efforts of David FL Moffat. and is
a deal that comes out of the railroad
enterprise he has undertaken.
1.-The Frontier Coal and Steel com
pany.'' said Mr. Moffat yesterday.
"assures new steel plant to Colora-
do within the next year, to be located
somewhere between here and either
Greeley or Boulder. As matter of
fact. the site has been selected. but
there are many reasons why it should
not be made known at present. The
benefit will be great to the state in
general and to Denver in particular
The plans have been completed and
are only held in allegiance for the
building of the Salt Lake line. 1t is.
in fact. the building of this road that
has made the proposition possible.
1.-The new company will have
among its holdings the 20. 600 acres of
coal lands in Middle park. These.
as is known. are the very best in the
country as to productiveness and
quantity.
Everything that is needed for the
successful operation of steel plant
is to be found on that line. The ad-
vantages in many WAYS are apparent.
1t will be down hill haul to Denver,
and many of the complications that
have existed in this state for so long
time will be obviated. The new
company will beign at once to develop
its coal fields. and to prepare for the
building of coke ovens. 1 feel conf
dent that the work ON the steel plant
will be begun within a year from this
tim. e.
''Who is backing the enterprise"

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Acknowledged to Be Poor, but Condi-
lions Explained in Extenuation.

There is a good deal of complaint about
the character of the telephone service, ana
of late the general explanation has been
that it was due to the changes incident to
opening the new North" exchange. At
the meeting of the board of directors of
the telephone company Mr.. Bethel acknowi-
edged that the service is poor and said that
ii was due to the transfer of approximately
twenty-five per cent of all telephones in
service in the city from one office to an
other. which resulted in throwing burden
upon the operating force which it was inn
possible to carry without inconvenience to
the public.
Mr.. Bethel went on to say that the sud
den and unusual enlargement of the Ope-
rating ft rec necesstated the use of large
number of inexperienced operators. These
operators had been in the employ of the
fully trained possible, but were unable
to meet the extraordinary situation as well
as operators of long experience.
Mr.. Bethel expressed his appreciation of
the patience and forbearance exhibited
under the circumstances by the company S
Subscribers and the general public.
His estimates of expenditures for the
coming year in carrying out the plans al
ready adopted for the extension and i'm
provement of the plant of the company in
this city amounted to $7Jo.OO. In addition
to the two buildings erected by the COM
pany, tho underground conduits are being
extended.

Takoma Club and Library Program

The weekly debate of the Takoma Club
and Library was held Wednesday evening
in the club parlor, the President, Mr. Shoe
maker, in the chair. After an address by
Mr.. Shoemaker the subject for the evening,
THE Attitude of the United States in the
Panama Incident was taken up for dis
cussion. To MeSsrs. c. NJ Heaton and H.
j. Weber was assigned the task of show
ing that the action of the United States in
recognizing the independence of Panama
was unwarranted. while Messrs. Hervey s.
knight and John r. Adams defended the
action taken by the government through it's
chief executive. Those present unanimous
ly decided in favor of the last named de-
ba tiers.
At the close of the discussion the meet
ing was entertained by short address by
Mr.. Jerome Carly of the New York bar a
guest of the club, on the subject of the in
evitable accomplishment of the Isthmian
canal project; the futilty of resisting the
march of progress in the world, and the
evident destiny of the United Safes as a
world power in carrying the standards of
liberty and advancement to the remotest
parts of the earth.
The next debate will take place Decem-
Der %, when the position Of the United
States in the Philippines will be discussed
with particular reference to whether the
expansion of our territory is menace to
the maintenance Of our republican institu-
lions.

The Associated Charities Work,

To the Edit n of The Evening Star:
1 am sure everyone engaged in the work
of the Associated Charities will share with
me in highly approaching your helpful edi-
torial in regard to the last annual report.
Having been connected especially with
the financial side of the work from the be-
ginning, there is one thing to which l
would like to particularly call the attention
of your readers. You have made it evident
to them that what is being done is for the
benefit of the, entire city, and should inter-
est and secure the support of every citizen.
AS matter of fact the number who con-
tribute is small, only few hundred, and
pretty much the same names appear every
year. If everybody in Washington who
could afford to do so would give dollar,
the work could be most beneficially broad
ened and strengthened. 1t surely concerns
everyone residing here who desires to see
the capital made what is ought to be, and
the association is eInestly DESTROYS of Sc
curing more general and generous sup
