STREET CAVES IN
OVER BIG TUNNEL
Hole in Ground in Front
of Library.
SETTLING MAKES CONDITION
First Street Will Be Rebuilt and Re-
paved When Subway Is
Done.
SETTLING MAKES CONDITION

There is slow but gradual increase
in the falling of the slN ace of First
street along the route of the big tunnel.
The worst place extends from a point
directly in front of the fountain at the
Library of Congress to b street south
east. The sidewalk on the west side is
torn UP. almost heaped in blocks. and
from the middle of the street to the
curbing there is a drop of foot or
more. Both lamp posts within this
space are leaning at noticeable angles.
The pavement along this space began
TO crack as soon as the first rift was
bored. but the drop has increased con-
siderably in the last few days. The
sidewalk has been roped in for seventy
five yards from B street
Filling Incomplete.
In many places along the rift at this
section of the work the holes were not
completely filled and the sand and dirt
under the pavement is settling
Capt. Jay ]. Morrow. of the Engineer
Commissioners Office, stated today that
this was nothing more than has been ex-
pected. II Is an almost impossible feat
for any engineer to bore a tunnel under
the streets of city without more or
less sinking. Before the great tunnel
OF the street in the locality may be in
creased foot or more
No Danger.
Engineers in the District Building say
there is no danger. The top of the
tunnel under First street. In front of
the library, is fifty feet under ground.
Only some break of unusual size which
is not to be expected. could precipitate
a harmful drop in the surface OF the
street.
No effort will be made to stop this
sinking of the pavement until the tun-
mel has been completed. Then the as
phalt Will be torn up, the street leveled
TO Its regular grade, and new pave
ment laid.
Other Places.
There are other places along the route
OF the tunnel where sinking OF the street
surface is noted. but at no place is it
so conspicuous as in front of the
Library
At b street northeast and b street
southeast, where the cars of the
Washington Electric Railway Company
and the Capital Traction Company, re-
spectfvely, cross First street the road
beds have been REINFORCED by extra
heavy beams and iron work The ex-
cavatfon beneath the tracks will proba-
bly, be kept open for some time in order
to watch the slightest signs of any
dangerous breaks

The President and Statehood.

In his message to congress Pres ident Roosevelt recommends that Ari- zona and New Mexico be admitted to the Union as one state. This recom- mendation is gross injustice to both territories and ought to be resisted to the last by all right thinking men. Should the bill pass congress the peo- pie should reject constitution under it by large majority. New Mexico is large enough to support single state government and is sure to con- mand justice at the hands of the gov ernment if it refuses to accept a join ture with Arizona, and our own terri tory will come in with population and wealth within a few years. Let New Mexico go in asa state at this time and Arizona's way is clear for future action. Let us reject the Presidents $ recommendation and, give him another think. ,,.,t.

Elks Memorial Service.

Last Sunday afternoon the local lodge of Elks made fresh the memory of departed brothers by appropriate ceremonies in the spacious Elk Hall, which had been lavishly decorated with smilax, ivy, violets, calla lilies and other rare flowers. A large au- dience had assembled in the hall to add their tribute of respect and about fifty Elks of the local and outside lodges paid the ritualistic tribute to the dead. The music was excellent, Mrs. Fred w. Morrison presiding at the piano. The solos by R. Nickel, of Aspen lodge, were highly appre- ciated by the large audience. Judge Blakely in eloquent and eulogistic terms spoke of the worth of the depart ed brothers and Hon. T. G. Norris, of Prescott lodge, reviewed the good work of the order and paid tribute to the beautiful custom of meeting yearly to freshen the graves and make green the memories of the thrOng of brothers who have gone to the other side. The singing of Mrs. Fred w. Morrison was one of the most delight full of the memorial ceremonies. Rev. Farr pronounced the benediction and the ritualistic observance of the day was over. This custom of reviving memories of brothers that had been bound together in ties of Elkian friend ship, and whose souls had joined the happy throng on the other shore, is one to be commended, and other be- nevolent orders ought to follow the example of the local lodge of Elks in its observance.

Judge Kent has decided the famous old Vulture mine case in favor of the old owners. The mines had been un- der the control of a watchman who was supposed to do the assessment work on them, but it is alleged that this he failed to do and they were re- located. The proof was made that with one exception the work had been done and the old company was quieted in it's title to the property. It is now probable that the mines will be worked.

Government WiII Purchase Silver.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw states that he will purchase silver bullion for coinage and that the first purchase under the act will be made sometime in January. Small silver coins are Sd scarce and the demand so great that many millions of ounces of silver will have to be bought and coin- ed to fill the demand. France, Ger many, England and Russia will soon enter the market for large amounts of silver, which will necessarily give an upward tendency to the white metal.
