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 1t 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 eff
fort TO get the order. The Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company Is furnishing
the greater portion of trackage ma
terial for ether western roads which
enter Colorado.
The rail specified by the construc-
ton company in the contract Is the

at the reformatory. This would entail
no additional expense on the state.
We believe that 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 q 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 a 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

facts before us, 1t is scarcely less than
criminal for Colorado deliberately to

makes numerous recommendations fol

commends the work for the School fol
Deaf and Blind. II recommends new
hospital for the insane to be built In
the northern part of the state, and fol
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

at Pueblo. 1t recommends an appro-

the Pueblo asylum. besides one of S26.-

urges also general revision of the
laws relating to the commitment and
