The indications Of registration In this city
at midnight, as judged by the Assembly
districts heard from. were that the first
day would probably fall little below the
first days registration in 1900, the last
Presidential election. Naturally. the figures
indicated considerable increase over
last year,
In Manhattan not enough Assembly dis
tricts had been heard from at midnight to
indicate the total enrolment for the first
day.
In Brooklyn the showing was better than
Manhattan, although this Ia generally true
on the first day Of enrolment.
Political sharps who ciphered on the fg-
ures thought the showing made In Re-
publican strongholds was better than In
Democratic bsiliwicks.

SEPTIC TANK A SUCCESS.
Trustees Inspect One Recently In
stalled at Mute School.

Salem-The new septic tank recent
ly constructed at the State Mute school
is giving complete satisfaction. The
board OF trustees Of that institution
visited the school and were highly
pleased with the improvement in the
sewerage system, which makes the con-
ditions there more healtbful.
ut seems to me that the septic tank
will come into general use in Cities"
said Governor Chamberlain, after his
return from the Mute school. "By
this process all solid matters are con
sumed and the outflow from the septic
tank is clear and odorless liquid. |
believe these tanks should be used even
where there is good sewer connections,
for by this means the sewer system can
be made to carry larger amount of
refuse and the stream into which it is
TUNED will not be 30 heavily polluted.
In suburban districts where there are
no sewer connections the spetic tank
will do much to improve sanitary con-
ditions. ! believe the people should
investigate the subject and learn the
value of the septic tank"

a solution OF the Kansas Colorado
water suit is in pr 'gress, and il the
efforts Of those most interested in the
case are successful strip Of the western
portion of Kansas, about $50 miles
wide, will be annexed to the state Of

fore tie supreme court at Washington
will be thrown out.
Politicians in both Kansas and Colo
rado are working for the passage OF q
bill through the Legislatures OF both
states whereby the western portion OF
Kansas can be taken into Colorado.
This, it is thought by those who have
given the irrigation question much
study will solve the difficulty. and both
states will be benefited to a great ex-
tent. L. P. Worden, OF Syracuse,
Kas., and G. G. Kennison, of Garden
City, Kas., a candidate for representa-
tive from that county are in Pueblo in
the interest of the plan.
ut would settle the water question
in Western Kansas forever and the suit
now in the courts would be dropped az
there would no longer be any reason
for continuing it" said Mr.. Wordon to.

Both Mr.. Worden and Mr.. Kennison
appeared before the government com.
mission when it was in session here,
and are thoroughly familiar with the

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. S.--A terrific
food struck the city Of Trinidad and
the whole valley along the Las Animas

may reach several hundred thousands Of
dollars.

ished, all of the railroads are tied up,
and the telephone and telegraph rervices
completely suspended. More than 80
city blocks in the residence and busl-
ness sections were two to four feet under
water along the rvier
So far as known at noon no lives
were lost, but there were many narrow
escapes.
The food was caused by the heavy
rain which has been falling for two
days. At 8 o'clock last night the
storm assumed cloudburst proportions,
and at 2 O'Clock this morning the Las
Animas river went over its banks.
At $3.50 it was impossible to get
within block Of the river bed at any
point, and Commercial street was food
ed for three blocks in the heart of the
business district. Meantime the elec-
trio light and gas plants had been food
ed, and the city was in complete dark
ness.
Hundreds Of citizens thronged the
streets on the edge of the submerged
district carrying lanterns and doing
their best to provide those driven from
their homes with shelter.
Warning Of the food was given when
the river left its banks by revolver shots
and the ringing Of the fire alarm, fol-
lowed by the blowing of all the loco.
motive and shop whistles in town.
Citizens upon RATS made OF sections OF
sidewalks padded through the streets,
rescuing families who were in danger.
The new Bacca hotel, two story
structure just reaching completion at
a cost Of $4,000 on the river bank,
was destroyed. The water then ate its
way through 80 feet of the ground to
the Santa Fe depot, which was carried
away.
The city lie divided by the Las
Animas river, which il scanned by six
wagon bridges. All Of the bridges
were washed out and many residents
we're unable to reach their homes or to
communicate with their families, the
telephone system being wrecked.
