We think that just the right thing has

given the matter UP in the mountains.
Business Is rushing throughout the
Arkansas Valley of Colorado. and espe-

are being erected in all portions Of
town, and good ones. too. And many
citizens are making Important Inn
provements in their premises such as
additions. furnaces. sewer connections,
etc. The result Is that workmen Of
all lines of industry are very busy.
Contractors have SO much work on
hand that they are sometimes tempted
to prevarioate as to the time when
they will begin job. and tell yet
more unintentional falsehood as to
when 1t will be completed. Everybody
Is anxious to improve the present
splendid weather. and consequently is
It somewhat difficult for all interested
to exercise the gift of patience. But
1t must be remembered that contract-
ors find difficulty in securing the need

best they can to meet the wishes of
their patrons. The situation Is In

CREDIT FOR CANAL EMPLOYEES
Coupon Books VIII Enable Panama
Merchants to Do Business.

Washington, Sept. 20. -- A new sys-
tenn of credit has been devised for the
employees OF the Panama canal on the
isthmus and will be put into effect
about October /. The system will
meet the needs of the employees and at
the same time comply with the request
OF the Panama merchants to be put on
an equal footing with the commissary
stores run by the canal commission un-
der the direct jurisdiction of the Pana-
ma railroad officials.
The system comprises coupon credit
slips, which will be issued to canal en-
ployes In books containing credit re-
spectively for $3.50, IS and $25 gold.
The books are so made up that credits
for from cent to 81 can be torn out as
required and will be issued on demand
up ~ certain percentage OF the wages
due them.
The merchants will accept the slips
under an arrangement which makes the
four banks of Panama the clearing
houses between the merchants and the
railroad company. No liquors or to-
bacco are cod at the five government
commissaries, which are located along
the line of the road, and it has been
decided to carry in these commissaries
only such articles as shall be decided
to constitute the necessities of life.

NAVAL BASE AT SINGAPORE.


London, Sept. 26.--The fact that the
British government purposes TO estab-
lish vast naval base at Singapore,
which was announced by the Sunday
Observer with the suggestion that this
was the first tangible result OF the new
Anglo-Japaneae alliance and the con-
clusion OF the Russo-Japanese VAR,
affords the newspapers an opportunity
to discuss the situation OF using Singa-
pore as base, which was announced
some time ago whsn Admiral Fisher
outlined the reorganization plan.
The newspapers now pe.nt est the
tremendous strategic value OF Singapore
as guarding the gateway of the Pacific
and when open 10 Japan's war vessels
as giving Great Britain aud Japan the
upper hand over the other European
countries whore the Far East is con-
ceIned. Some of this mornings papers
are inclined to dwell upon this phase of
the requirement OF the Singapore
docks, as though just at the time 1t
were demonstration of power by Great
Britain. But the governments inten-
tion to purchaset the docks at Singapore
has been an open secret Tor many
months, and according TO good authori-
~, the British government Is simply
facing the result of the new strategic
situation In the Far East.

Bandstand Drops Load of People and
Injuries Many.

Belleville, internal injuries; Frank
Dietz, Jr., Belleville, internal injuries;
Miss Bertha Schrieber, Belleville, in
jury to leg, sprained ankle and bruised

providing upon the bandstand as a van
tage point to witness a loop-the- loop
exhibition. Hundreds took standing
room ON the stand.

BUILD NEHALEM ROAD.
Lytle's Announcement at Meeting of
Portland Chamber of Commerce.

Portland, Sept. 25.-E. E. Lylte an
nounces that he will build the Port
land, Nehalem & Tillamook railroad.
which is now tied up at its first 20
miles of road through the tangle with
the Atlas Construction company. Since
the retirement of Mr.. Lytle from the
Columbia Southern and the subsequent
statement that it was his intention to
engage in further railroad construction
work in the state, there has been much
speculation as to where his activities
would first make themselves felt.
The announcement OF MIR. Lytle's
connection with the Portland, Nehalem
u Tillamook was not made as a public
utterance, but in the course of a meet
ing OF the transportation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, called to
consider the feasibility of providing for
further river transportation by the Open
River association. Several leading
business men were present at the meet
ing, among them being Mr.. Lytle, who.
while discussing the question before
the meeting, said that it would be in
convenient for him to become active in
the plans under discussion, owing 10
his other interests, the chief of which
was the Portland 4 Nehalem road.

RELIEF WORK m RUSSIA.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-Special
committees from the Department OF
Agriculture and Ministery Of the Inter-
Tor left here today to take charge OF
the relief work in the famine Districts
of Russia. The cost OF this work is
estimated by the government at $780,
000,0 No acute distress has yet
been reported, and the government
hopes, by prompt distribution of food,
seed, grain and fodder and the employ
ment of the famine stricken populace
on public works to tide over the people
until the new harvest.
The rates for the transportation of
grain and fodder into the governments
stricken by famine have been reduced,
but the deficiency in rolling stock is
the chief obstacle to the work Of relief.
An observer of the situation who re
manned here this week from tour of
Southern Russia, told the Associated
Press that bags of grain were piled up
in the mountains at many stations.
Some OF these were left from the 1904
harvest, waiting for cars to move them.
The termination of the war has already
released some cars from the Siberian
road.

BAD FAITH TO CHINA.


Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 23. - In an
address before the Grant club tonight,
ex-Minister to China Edwin III. Conger
said that by the failure OF the Ameri-
cans to build the Chinese railway, faith
had been broken with China, and
Americas good standing with the Chin
ese seriously impaired.
1--WE made very serious mistake
when we permitted our railroad conces-
sion in China to be relinquished, said
Mr.. Conger. at will prove sad blow
to our future efforts to establish ad-
vantageous businss relations with that
country. Ii will set us back many
years.
when we were granted the conces-
sion, personally made representations
to the Chinese that the railroad would
be built by the Americans who got the
concession, assured them upon my hon
or that 1t was not secured for the pur-
pose OF exploitation, and that 1t would
not be sold or relinquished. Now,
however, it has been, and the business
men of China feel that they have
right to look upon future business
propositions from Americans with sus-
picion -

PROGRESSIVE IDAHO.


Washington, Sept. 25.--The Reclaim
alton service has made the following
announcement
"The engineers In charge oil the
Boise Payette project, Idaho, have
made such progress with preliminary
work that the board OF consulting en-
gineers will n eet at Boise October ID
to consider plans and decide on future
arrangements. The splendid work oil

onizing the many conflicting claims oil
private interest in lands, canals and
water rights is beginning to bear fruit'
and IL is believed shat practically moth
ing stands in the way OF early construc-
tlon.
"About 100, 900 acres are already IT.
rigated in this section, but plans for
the full development Of the natural re-
sources of the valleys which will come
under this project are OF such magni-
tude as to be beyond the reach OF COM
munity effort.
'sThe present estimated cost OF the
entire system is nearly $ll, Ooo, 900,
and completed works will supply water
to approximately 372, 900 acres OF land
On account OF the restricted condition
OF available reclamation funds, how
ever, portion OF the project has been
selected which, though only an integer
OF the whole, will yet complete the pro-
ject itself.
''The Payette and Boise valleys con-
stitute one of the most attractive sec
tions OF the West. Progress in agri-
culture in this vicinity in the past few
years, and the consequent growth OF
adjacent towns, furnish an excellent
example OF the result of irrigation and
give promise OF substantial and won
deriul development in the future"

congress. For some time he has been
assembling data for the message, but
sincs the adjournment Of the peace

messxge. They are the Federal regula-
tion and supervision If life insurance,
the relations between this country and
yenesuela and Americas interest In
this fiscal affairs Of the government OF

jects naturally will be- considered,
among them the scandals disclosed In
the Departments Of Agriculture and
the Interior; the work al the depart
ment OF Justice In the beef trust cases,
the regulation of railroad freight rates,
the progress made In the construction OF
Tho Panama canal aud the conclusion OF

bis stay At Sycamore Hill are being
devoted to the preparation Of that part
of his message which will deal with
them. Few visitors have been received
since the adjournment Of the peace

lakt week here Ia practically devoid OF
engagements. The consideration OF all
matters except those OF immediate inn
