Comments on Our Streets
and Vacant Lots.

| comments on Our Streets
| and Vacant Lots.
Were our streets ever in a more
deplorable condition?
Dirty is not the proper word, nor
is ill-kept; simply not kept at all.
If our worthy Mayor would ride
up and down our streets, he would
be surprised at the amount of filth
waiting to be collected, and it would
be question for him and his Alder
men to settle, "where will we buy a
plant at once to burn our garbage. -
For some of this trash has been out
in the streets so long that a fire is
the only decent remedy for it. Two
or three years ago it WAS (and still
is) the enforced law for residents to
put out their trash in a suitable re-
ceptacle at stated days in the week
and during those days the carts
would collect. It was an admirable
system, well carried out and is still
a law of our town. No one was al
lowed to throw trash in the street,
and one could drive all over town
and not be offended in any way by
sight or smell. What a contrast to
now! To-day, the carts could work
Walnut street from John to Centre
and put in full days work
Attention must be called to the
grass and weeds now growing in our
streets and if allowed much more
time, some of the streets will be
well-nigh impossible. Again, the
buggies and wagons that fill the once
pretty grass plot lined with what
would be beautiful trees, are a dis
cOuragement for those who worked,
and are working faithfully tor a
beautiful City," AS to empty lots
they are doubtless beyond the juris-
diction of the ordinances, for of what
effect is the fire limit with such
shacks as are up and still going up
on John street next to the Fire En-
up for beauty, surely, nor do they
improve the moral tone of our city.
The writer feels sure that all the
above nuisances are direct violation
of the ordinances, and is there no
way to enforce them or to have them
enforced. A penalty for breaking
these ordinances seems to be of no
use with no one to collect.
An Office of collector might be
made and the man in charge would
not be asleep for some months. Can
nothing be done toward Civic I'M
provement of our town? The good,
energetic, women of many towns
have taken the matter of clean streets
in hand, when, after much earnest
talk with the officials, these officials
did nothing, and as result, the
towns have been made clean and are
kept clean.
Our townswOmen are ready to
take the reins for clean streets and
with former help and encouragement
from citizens, officials and residents,
the streets will be clean. Let some
one start this good work and many
will follow.

BIG DITCH DEAL.
Buys Lands and Water Rights
and Will do More Farming.

\ deal OF much Importance is
now practically closed whereby
the Bessemer Ditch company,
owning and operating the most
important ditch in the Arkansas
valley, becomes the possessor OF
10000 acres OF additional lands,
together with valuable water
rights lying along the Arkansas
river and contiguous to the ditch
The lands will be used by the
American Beet Sugar company.
Some time ago at meeting OF
the stockholders OF the Bessemer
Ditch company it was decided to
assess each share OF stock kin the
company $3.50 for the purchase
OF these additional lands and wa
ter rights, the vote being prac-
tically unanimous.
The company has almost COM
pletcd improvements on the ditch
amounting to more than $4,000,
the Improvements being largely
in the way of cleaning out the
ditch where caveins had occurred,
and in the repair OF fumes.

Bessemer Cars pass our door

The republican state central COM
mittee and the republican central
committee of Denver city and coun-
ty allege that the grossest frauds
were perpetrated in Denver and they
will contest the election of Adams
with every show of success.
Attorneys now have contest papers
in course of preparation, it is said,
an 4 within the next few days will file
them in the court and fight the mat
ter through to the bitter end.
On the local ticket the result is
still in doubt on several of the Offices.
The republicans concede the defeat of
district attorney and coroner and in
all likelihood the sheriff. They claim
to have elected to certainty the en-
tire legislative ticket, the treasurer,
superintendent of schools, commission
ers, justices of the peace and con-
stables, and that they are in the lead
on county Judge, assessor and county
clerk.
The democrats on the other hand
claim everything in sight except the
treasurer, Legislative ticket and just
ices of the peace. So close are some
of the races that an official count will
be necessary to solve the question.

ELECTION RESULTS
IN PUEBLO COUNTY
Republicans and Democrats Divide Hon0rs
on the Local TiCket--Peabody
Held the Ticket Back.

Election day was very busy
one in this city and county, and
there were some surprises in
store for everybody.
A mixed ticket was elected and
some of the contests were very
close, it probably requiring the
official canvass to settle the mat
ter.
Governor Peabody ran away
behind his ticket, for the princi-
pal fight was made on him, and
it was his candidacy that was
largely responsible for the de-
feat of some of the local candi-
dates. In Bessemer, for instance,
dozens OF foreigners, Austrians
and Italians, voted straight
Democratic ticket, their principal
desire being to vote against Pea
body no matter if by so doing
they did vote against Roosevelt
and other republicans whom they
considered their friends. 1t was
anything to beat Peabody, and
the result shows that he ran
some 1900 behind Adams in the
+, county
The vote by precincts as far as
available on governor is as fol

There was more election talk
in and about the steel works this
week than anything else.
Nobody knew beforehand what
was going to happen in the state
election, but there was strong
anti Peabody sentiment pervad-
ing the atmosphere which crop
ped out in an unmistakable man
ner on election day.
The men in the various depart
ments got off in gangs in order to
60 to the polls to vote and the
process was kept up until every
man had an opportunity to vote.
Crowds kept coming and going
all day long between the steel
works and the various polling
places in Bessemer, and it helped
to make things look lively.
There is nothing especially new
in the matter of making any fur
ther extensions and improve
ments, and particularly at the tin
plate and sheet mills, the large
department to the south where all
eyes have been turned for many
months.
Upward of six millions OF dol
lars has been voted by the stock
holders of the c. F. & |. company
for the completion OF improve
ments now under way and the ex-
tension OF others, but just what
action the company will take at
this time is problematical.
OF course, the community at
large wishes to see the work
early begun and carried on rap
idly, but it remains for the Of
hcers and directors to determine
how much and when the new
work will begin.
All the various departments are
running right along steadily,
the rail mill not being much be.
hind any of them in the matter OF
push. The supply OF fuel is
ample and lots of coke is being
stocked in the yards, but the blast
furnace capacity is still very IN
adequate.
The thing most needed at the
steel works is more blast tur-
mace capacity, and no mistake
Until there is a larger supply o.
pig iron on hand there will not be
steady operations OF the mill, ol
rather of the converter and RAJ
mill, which depend upon the bias
furnaces for their material.
Large orders for rails remain t'
be filled and evey effort is being
made to get them out. Some o
these orders have been on th'
book for quite a while, awaiting
the time when they could be filled
and now that the pig iron suppl.
is improving the steel rails ar
being gotten out more rapidly.
The monthly pay day come
one week from today, an occasion
that is always very welcome an
causes stir up this way. In
payrolls are not yet made up an
the amount to be paid out is no
definitely known, but it Will pron
ably exceed 100000.
