for an hour was unable to save his life.
He was about so years of age, and his
home for some years has been . cabin

known he has no relatives in this coun-
try.

With commendable energy the city
council is pushing as fast as possible the
water works proposition, and since its in

unnecessary delay in the matter. The
unfagging interest exhibited by the

assured that before another wear Idaho
Springs will have a water system that
cannot be excelled by even more ambi-
tious cities.
This week the principals of the firm of
Rhodes & O'Brien, of Denver, have spent
several days here IN company with City
Clerk Charles Brandstet,er and the coun-
Gil going over the pipe lines and reservoir
sites, taking measurements and noting
the needs of the proposed rev system,
with the view to making an estimate of
the probable cost of the Improvement.
This labor was completed yesterday, and
last night the experts met with the coun-
Gil informally and outlined in a logical
manner what was needed, the result OF
the conference being the most satisfactory
of any yet held, as the needs of the city
were plainly described by the experts so
that all are now well informed as to what
is required.
Messrs. Rhodes and O'Bricn make a
specially of just such work as this. buying
bonds and completing water systems, but
until further steps have been taken and
details have been arranged. no contract

The Butchers Strike,

Considerable local discussion has been
indnlged in by Idaho Springs citizens
relative to the effect the butchers strike
in the east would have on the local prices
of meats. From the appended quotations
from interviews it is evident that the
local market men are in measure indie
pendent of the eastern packers, and for
the present at least there will be no adj
vance in the prices 1t is also a fact that
Idaho Springs people are today purchas-
ing fresh meats at a price several cents
below the Denver price, and the local
butchers are deserving of great credit for
the manner in which they are handling
the trade. w. II. Meilor. of Mellor &
Peterson. says:
aPrices will remain just a. they are
regardless of the strike. The only way
that the labor trouble will effect our mar.
ket will be the shortage of pork. and this
is caused simply from the fact that we
have no time to prepare 1t as we have
plenty Of hogs. Our prices today are 2
cents below what the same class of meats
can be purchased for in Denver
Charles There, of Thero & Co.: There
is no advance in price at present, but if
it continues it will effect prices on corn
fed beef and pork. Native stock will re-
main the same. Local prices are now
much lower than Denver quotations"
F. L. Cotton: II have made no ad-
vance in prices, notwithstanding the in
crease in the Denver quotations. OF
course, if the strike continues for any
great length of time, prices are bound to
advance as the supply will decrease. But
until the present supply is exhausted
there will be no local advance. Idaho
Springs people are today buying meats
FIVE cents per pound cheaper than they
can in Denver"

T.. NJ. Moscript is in receipt of long
and highly interesting letter from his son
Kenneth who is now assigned to the flag
ship New York, and when the letter was
written the ship was at Bremerton bay,
short distance from Seattle, enroute south
from trip to Dutch Harbor. Kenneth
describes in an entertaining way his
daily life aboard ship and told of the
celebration of the Nations birthday on
one of Uncle Sans bsttleships.
His frequent reference to the kindness
of his superior officers shows a high re-
gard for them, and both Kenneth and
Will Comstock seem to be making good
progress in the service.
But throughout the letter to his parent,
there runs that element of sadness over
the memory of the many misfortunes
that have ovextaken the family during
past few months, and even though the
boy is surrounded by life and motion, his
mind ever returns to the lonely condition
of Mr., Moscript who is left to face his
sorrows absolutely alone We regret we
have not space to publish the letter.

Colorado & Southern Cuts Rate On Ore.

q
The Colorado & Southern railroad has
announced a decided reduction in freight
rates on or to take effect July IS. and
which will directly benefit the mines in
Idaho Springs. The action of the gen.
eral traffic department is the result of a
protest sent in by the mine owners who
have complained that the most of devel-
opment and the general expense of oper-
alton has made it imperative that the
freight rates should be reduced or some
of the mines would be compelled to close
down.
In the past the rate from Idaho Springs
to Denver on all ores and concentrates of
a net value up to fIo per ton has been 81
per ton and on all ore and concentrates
of value from sio to $50 per ton the
rate has been 81 SO per ton.
The new scale provides for rate of IS
cents per ton on ore and concentrates
valued under f9 per ton and rate of 81
per ton to apply on all ores and concen-
trates which are valued at more than f9
and less than $40 a ton.
"The effect of the new schedule" said
Mr.. Wellington, Twill be the employment
of many more men in the district and
the production of much more ore. This
will, of course, give the smelters in Den.
yer a great deal more work, the owners
of which added their petitions to that of
the mine owners. We are simply cutting
this rate for the purpose of stimulating
trade, because we do not wish to stand in
the way of the development of this min
ing region. It must be understood that
we are alone in this field and that the cut
does not presage rate war;"
