HOPEFUL HENRYCK.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast. and perhaps there is no human breast in which it springs more spring. lily than in the breast of anArctic or Antarctic explorer. Henryck Arctow- ski, Belgian is so filled with hope that he has the notion that he can reach
 the South Pole in an automobile. Steamship expeditions to the South Sea are stopped by land or walls of per- petual ice long before they reach the pole. From the shore expeditions have
 gone inland some distance with dog
 sleds, but there is a limit to the dis
 tance that can be so covered, as food for the dogs has to be carried, and adds greatly to the necessary stores. His
 present scheme is to use Canadian sledges, or toboggans, and attach to each two wheels with spur teeth, mounted like the sidewheels of a river
 steamer, and arranged so that they can be raised or lowered, to grip lightly or deeply. according as the snow is crusted or soft The whole affair must be light enough so that it will not sink too deep
 in the snow. strong enough to blow it's way through a moderate depth of light
 flakes, and large enough to carry the
 explorer and necessary stores for him and the motor.
 Perhaps Brother Arctowski is en- couraged by the way he has seen auto mobiles start for the South Pole when Iostensibly headed in another direction.
 Good luck to him. But if he should happen to reach the South Pole in an automobile what reason has he for be- lieving that he can make the darn thing bring him back?

Herbert Spencer in his autobiography says of Professor Huxley: ''He was one of circle in which tragedy was the topic, when my name came up in con- nection with some opinion or other; whereupon he remarked: Oh, Spencer's idea of tragedy is a deduction killed by a fact On another occasion George Henry Lewes gave Huxley an oppor- tunity. I had invited some half dozen leading men to meet an American friend at dinner In the course of the evening a conversation arose about habits of composition. Lewes, one of the last, said, I never hesitate. I get up steam at once. In short, boil at low temperature But remarked Hux- ley, that implies a vacuum in the upper regions..'"

Mrs. Olivine Anglais McIn- erny of Chicago, who claims that Nc Inerny deserted her in Hamilton. on- tario, fifteen years ago, chanced to see his name published in the list of injured by the storm. The result was the iden- tification and arrest of McInerny, who two years ago was married to a girl in Indiana Harbor.

Since the war in the East began a good many newspaper readers have wondered how Port Arthur came to get it's name. The first foreign vessel to en- ter that bay was a British war vessel in charge of Lieutenant Commander Arthur. who modestly gave his own name to the place. That was about fifty years ago, and as Port Arthur it has been known ever since.

SEEPACE WATER
Still Escaping From the Reset
voirs and Going to Waste.

The problem Of solving the ques-
tion of how to save the seepage water
now escaping from reservoir No. 2,
is still botherin0 the c. F. & l. Co.
Quite a volume of water escapes
into Salt Creek and then reaches the
Arkansas River at q point north Of
the Riverview cemetery.
More water goes to waste than is
necessary to supply the ateel works.
All this is taken originally from the
st. Charles River and ia clear and
pure.
The water escapes from under the
levee and the earth has become sc
porous that it is difficult matter tC
find remedy.
One solution Of the problem woulc
seem to be to construct small res
ervoir or basin this side Of the secont
| reservoir for the reception Of th'
water and from there it would be con
veyed to the steel works.
This small reservoir would have t.
be cemented all over, which would b
expensive but would surely hold tn
water, the only waste being the over
flow, if any, after the steel works ha
been supplied.

AS
A NUISANCE

The otherwise beautiful and inter
esting drive out on the Pueblo-Vine.
land road is sadly marred by reason
of the tall and ugly weeds which line
the highway on either side. The
weeds are mostly cockleburs and now
although dead, they stand much high
or than the fence, presenting very
uninviting appearance The same is
true along the irregating bitches
which extend on the by-roads. In
most of the states to the east the
board of county commissioners have
the power to fine any land owner who
permit such weeds to grow up along
his lsnds, and in case the farmer re-
fuses to cut them down the county
will do the job and charge the cost up
along with the next years taxes. The
cocklebur is the greatest nuisance
that grows in the shape of weed,
surprising the Spanish needle, the
Russian thistle, the foxtail or the bull
nettle in its ravsges on the crops and
its deadly effect on the fertility OF
the soil, and too much care cannot be
taken to prevent it from obtaining
any further hold in this section of The
state.
The wonder is that the farmers anC
gardeners, otherwise thrifty ant
painstaking. would permit weeds tt
thus grow rank and unmolested alons
their premises where the seed is GER
tain to be blown into their fields o.
carried there by dogs, rabbits chick

STEEL WORKS AT FULL BLAST
CONS0L|DATES
ALL PROPERTIES
All Holdings in C. F. & |. Co
Again Placed Under
One Head.

In line with the general plan of re-
organization and refunding of the Colo.
RADIO Fuel & Iron company, the direct
crate of that company has taken over
all property which has been operated
under the name of the Rocky Mountain
Coal G. Iron company and will hereaf-
ter operate it under the name of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company.
The Denver retail fuel department,
together with the iron ore depart
ment, and the producing fuel and iron
properties in Wyoming, have been op-
Grated under the name of the Rocky
Mountain Coal & Iron company for
about a year, while the steel plant at
Pueblo has been operated by the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron company.
In explaining the significance of
the new conditions. Chief Council
Cass Harrington of the company said
yesterday afternoon:
THE changes in the operating de-
partment are made under the new re-
organization and refunding plan al
ready announced. The operations
under the name of the Rocky Noun
tain Coal & Iron company dates from
the time when the coal properties,
together with the iron ore department
and the producing properties in Wy
oming. were taken up by E. V. Carey,
of New York. That is they we're
practically sold to him for a monetary
consideration. The money secured
was used in placing the steel plant in
Pueblo on firm financial basis.
Under the refunded plan the prop
critics referred to passed to the Colo
RADIO Industrial company. This COM
pany was a Colorado corporation, the
articles of which were filed a year
ago, The directors were F. j. Hearne,
A. A.. Miller and Fred Harrington.
Yesterday a mortgage was record
ed in the offices of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, executed by the
Colorado Industrial association in the
sum of $45,00O,OOO.
To-day the Rocky Mountain Coal &
Iron company operating the coal prop
critics and iron mines in Wyoming
turned these properties over to the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company.
This places all the property con-
trolled by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company since its organization again
under its direct management and
control. This includes the coal prop
critics, the iron mines, the Wyoming
holdings and the steel plant at Pu-
eblo. 1t also, naturally, includes
the retail department in Denver. >
