NEW RAILROAD BRIDGE.

1t is pretty generally understood in
railway circles that in very short
time the railroad bridge across the
Grand River. known as the narrow
guage bridge. will soon be superseded
by an iron structure. which will be
a broad guase bridge when built.
Tie present bridge has been in use
since the narrow guage was first built
into this city and it has run its life.
according to the life of wooden rail
way bridges.
When this bridge is built it will be
preliminary to the broad guaging of
the road from this city to Delta ard
ON to Hotchkiss, which we'll informed
railway men say will be accomplished
this summer.
OF course for many years things
have been predicted, which would be
done by the Rio Grande in this ity.
Those predictions might have been
premature and unwarranted at that
time by the traffic of the road, but
conditions are now changed and what
was then hoped tor has become almost
a necessity.
Very few in this city. who keep
track of changing conditions are not
fully informed of the inadequacy OF
the present yards to accommodate the
large amount of traffic which occasion
ally comes congested here. A large
area of yard room and trackage has
become an absolute necessity and the
railway service is aware of the need.
Should the track to Hotchkiss and
Delta be broad guaged this year it
will bring many changes in this city.

LABOR MEETING.

The county court house was given
over last night to laborers and their
leaders and enthusiasts. Between
seventy five and a hundred people
were present. The meeting was
opened by Rev J. Monroe Stewart
who had made worthy and eloquent
plea for higher manhood and woman
hood, for more ambition and for
greater self-assertion among the rank
and file. which. he said. was permit
ting itself to be trodden down instead
of forcing itself up in the world.
Hon James W. Bucklin followed
the first speaker with a talk of about
twenty minutes in which he main
tanned that the evil; of today which
make the poor man poorer and the
rich man richer are due to bad laws,
which bad law it is the duty of the
voter to down with his ballots j.
w. Sawyer who took the floor next
asked the working men to wake up.
to open their eyes long enough to take
in glimpse of the inequality which
exists; and to strike blow in his
own behalf before the power to do so
has been taken from him.
The chief speaker of the evening,
e. NJ. White. labor organizer from
Leadville. was here introduced. He
said that the laboring class of Mesa
county will find their salvation in
unions. and the quicker they got it
the better it would be for them sleeves
and their employers. At the close of
his speech he asked those interested
i'll organization to remain few min
utes and sign cards of the Western
Federation of Labor.

DAM THE GUNNIsoN.

Haskell and Schwalbach. civil and
mining engineers have just completed
most comprehensive plans for the con-
struction of power dam at White
water, for private parties This
power dam will recover to the use of
the agriculturists of that section
about nine hundred acres of land.
The plans. as drawn by Haskell and
Schwalbach are most comprehensive
and they reflect considerable credit
upon these engineers. They show the
rock work. the filling and the struc-
tural work and they are plans upon
which any contractor can beign work
and know what he is doing.
Thu above firm of engineers have
been doing considerable work along
that line the past winter and their
work has been most satisfactory. Both
the gentlemen are thoroughly compe-
tent in their profession and they Will
doubtless grow into a large business
in that line.
