GOODS ALL BURNED
Gambling Parphernalia Finally
Ordered Destroyed.

The gambling paraphernalla that
has been stored in the county jail
now for nearly year was finally
ordered by County Judge Southland,
last Monday to be burned. Ten
minutes after Sheriff Florance re-
ceived the order, the two wagon
loads of stuff lay piled up in the
Jail yard. and the match was ap-
piled.
The goods were those taken by
Former City Marshal Camp OF this
city in a raid upon the gambling
houses of Evans last summer. Two
big dray loads Of the trappings were
hauled to Greeley, and the various
owners, fined from 800 to 1900 each
in the county court. They plead
guilty, but fought hard for the re-
turn of the goods. This fight was
finally concluded Monday, when the
goods were burned.
Among other things were Is slot
machines that were destroyed. In
these were found little over sos.
A great deal of speculation has been
going on as to the amount Of money
there might possible be in these
machines, and it was variously esti-
mated up as high as 1900.
The actual cost of the goods would
run up into the thousands.

EVANS WATERWORKS START
THIS WEEK
A Fine Little Plant That Will
Supply About Three Miles
of Mains-Also a New
Mill

The new Evans water system will
be in operation this week. The
engines and pumps have all been
connected up, and it is probable that
the first test of the system will be
made today, when the flushing Of
the mains will commence. 1t will
probably be day or two before the
water will be clear enough for do
nestle use, but when the pipes are
once washed out they are going to
have the finest soft water in Weld
county.
The whole pumping plant is neat
and compact affair. The building is
one story high, built with Clayton
pressed brick, and is 40x4O feet in
dimension. Inside of this is the 20
horse power Fairbanks Morse gaso-
line engine, the air compressor, the
two wells, pump, and pressure tanks
These latter are two in number,
round in shape, eight by thirty-six
feet. Each will hold 400 barrels of
water. AS the water is pumped
into these tanks, the air congresses
and thus gives pressure to the mains.
When the system Of mains is en-
tirely completed there will be close
to three miles of pipe in the ground.
There will be two miles of four
inch main, and another mile Of two
inch pipe. About $4,000 feet of the
mains have already been laid.
The total cost of the plant, so far,
has been about SIT. 500, leaving still
a balance, on hand from the bond
issue of 81, 500. When the bonds
were first voted it was the intention
to put in an electric light plant in
the same building, but as the water
system grew it was found that prac-
tically all of the 500, 900 voted would
be required to make the water sys-
tenn what it should be, SO the light
ing project was abandoned.
The wells, one six inches and the
other eight inches, and each 1O7 feet
deep were driven in one corner of
the public park, where what is
claimed to be an unlimited supply of
soft water was struck. The only
question now is whether or not this
supply will eventually give out.
Another new project that Evans is
enjoying this week is a new feed
mill. This is not large one, but
will be convenient to the farmers in
the immediate vicinity of Evans.
E. E. Tracy has put in ten horse
power gasoline engine and set of
rollers that will take care of con-
siderable quantity of corn and other
grain.

Senate, the President was heartily In
its favor and a majority Of the House
we're ready 70 vote for II. Now II Will
have 20 bldo its time and await the con-
venience Of the Speaker and the party
in power.
We do not expect a war, but 1t is the
unexpected that happens; and should
war come We shall be no more prepared
for II than at the time Of the rupture
with Spain. We are too apt TO forget
the disasters for which our shortcomings
we're then responsible and to remember
only the triumph in arms in that short
conflict. The recent report Of the
Typhoid Fever Board, appointed TO in
vestigate the sanitary conditions OF the
United States Army in that period,
showed that 90 per cent. Of the volun-
teer regiments developed typhoid fever
within eight weeks after going into
camp. There we're 2O,7SO cases Of this
single disease, with a death rate OF 76l
per cent, and this mortality ratio takes
no account Of the loss from all other
diseases
Where strict discipline prevails and
where efficient medical organization Is
in authority, there would be no typhoid
epidemios; in fact, no epidemics Of any
kind. The death rate from disease
would be reduced TO the minimum and
the efficiency OF the fighting line would
be practically intact except for injuries
received in battle
Such are the results obtained in the
army Of Japan, in which the organiza-
ton Of the Medical Department has
reached a degree of perfection never
before attained by any nation. That
Medical STAFF is in touch with the COM
manders Of the various armies in camp
and in the field, it is thoroughly equipped,
and in all things pertaining to sanitation
the surgeons word is supreme.
Some idea Of the value OF the
service 90 humanity which the Army
Medical Sta1 may perform may be
gained by reference TO the work OF the
late WALTER REED Major and Surgeon,
U. s. A., who died in 1902. The investi-
cations Of this remarkable man, as
blsJeQ Dy surgeon W. ~ uOhHAS, wiz
is now in charge of the Medical Depart
ment Of the Canal Zone, not only re-
moved yellow fever from the city of
Havana, where it had had an uninter-
rupted habitat OF century, but wiped
il from the list Of epidemics which had
often carried death to our seacoast cities
and paralyzed for months at time the
commerce Of the Atlantic coast.
These same results will follow in the
Canal Zone il Major GoROAs has proper
authority and is furnished with the
facilities for carrying out the plan with
which he became so familiar during his
experience in Cuba.
IL is a disgrace to our nation that
year after year the Medical Department
Of the army should appeal in vain to
Congress for permission TO make itself
equal TO the protection Of our soldiers,
The Congressman who fail TO provide
this relief should be held TO strict ac-
countability.

Remark, FROM Switzerland on Beef.

To THE LDIIoR OF The suN Sir, ! read
with much interest the report OF the Com
missioner Of Corporations on the so-called
Beef Trust, and am much relieved TO find
that there IL no such thing as the Beef Trust
that this much mali ned corporation 10
simply a benevolent institution, devised for
the purpose Of supplying great cities With
beef at less than the cost OF production.
According 20 It's own statement It's sales
were two hundred millions. on which they
made less than per cent. say zoe.
Its capital was increased during the
year from twenty-five to thlrty-hvs millions
so that II turned lie money over at least
Ell ght times, and az the capital actually en-
plOyed was not half the nominal Il can readily
be seen that this benevolent institution made
according TO It's own statement at least
80 per cent. profit.
| don't know that IL would make any diff
ference 10 the world II the corporation made
100 per cent, provided II got lie meat cheaper,
but, inasmuoh as according to this lame state
ment the price OF cattle has decreased during
the last Ave or six years. the price OF meat,
as every householder knows. has Increased
from 20 to 30 per cent.
IL is interesting TO know also that the
Beef Trust has no monopoly. since IL only
slau lighters IS per cent. OF the cattle OF the
country. II II slaughtered 81 per cent. II
would have a monopoly.
Also, do not see exactly why the United
States should have employed this very eI-
pensive commission, since at no expense at
all they might have had exactly the same
report az was published In the newspapers Of
Jan. %. 1905.

The Why of Government Made Rates

The Indiana polls Neios gives its East
ern friends some information which they
may be presumed to need. They don't
appreciate or understand the nature Of
the revolt against corporation influences
throughout the West They take it
for a new crop from the old fields Of
Populism. Great mistake:
Fundamentally the question Is far more than
one Of regulating railroad rates Indeed, there arc
many people who regret that II seems necessary
TO resort 20 this step and who would be glad 70
discover some other method Of controlling per
nlcious corporations activity. what the people
are demanding, In brief b that they shall govern
themselves. That IL the real end sought SELF
government rather than corporation government
10 what Is desired
A curious confession Railroads are
assumed TO have interfered in politics.
Therefore, politics must control rail-
roads. Surely, in seh-defence railroads
will have TO take hand in politics II they
are to be put at the mercy Of politicians;
and how will self-government be in
creased in scope or degree by enlarging
the Federal Government and its ma
chine? bureaucratic Government so
cialism would be a strange outgrowth
Of popular self-government.
II Is charged that the railroads have
elected or defeated candidates for the
United States Senate. Our Indianapolis
contemporary asserts that the Southern
Pacific Railroad prevented the reeleo-
ton Of Senator BARD Of California. Such
charges are cheap and easily made.
Yet the Hoosier critic is able to eTult
in the election Of Senator LA TOILETTE
in Wisconsin and admits that Kansas
and Nebraska have practically won
their fight against the railroads. and
the new Senator from Missouri Is no
friend Of corporations.
It is true that nothing can be more
foolish than for a people to allow the
railroads and corporations to elect their
Governors and Senators and Legisla-
lures for them It is notorious that
the profession Of a deep aversion to
or suspicion Of railroads and other
corporations is a useful part Of a
statesman's stock in trade. As a rule,
Legislatures fleece the soulless ones.
! Governors sock It to them
In any case, and even granting, for
the sake Of argument, that all Legis-
latures, Governors and Senators are
tools Of corporations, how is Govern
ment regulation Of railroad rates to re-
form this habit? By putting the rail-
roads out Of business?
We had supposed that the plan Of
naming Senators at primary elections
would cure all the wrongs that popular
| government suffers at the hands Of min
ions of corporate greed in the Senate.
Perhaps the Wisconsin system OF
recalling your Alderman, il you don't
! like a vote Of his. will have to be applied
by constitutional amendment TO United
States Senators, Representatives and
the President State Legislatures and
! Governors can be reached by State laws
or constitutional amendments.

possible 10 Manohuria and that their

serves Is, probably enough intended TO
strengthen the hand Of Russian diplo-
macy in negotiations for peace. Whether
or not peaceWill be made this year, how
ever, depends on whether NICHOLAS IL.
can bring himself to submit to the terms
which japan Is expected TO impose. IL
IL understood that he would agree TO
evaouate the whole Of Manchuria except
the northern strip containing the branch
OF the Siberian railroad which runs
through Hardin 10 Vladivostok, and
might agree also to cede the island OF
Saghaien. He is said 70 have declared,
on the other hand, that he will never
voluntarily give up Yladivostok, nor
pledge himself not TO build or buy war
ships for definite period, nor pay Japan
a pecuniary indemnity. He il deter
mined we are told, that Russia shall re-
tain a foothold on the Pacific, and shall
become a great naval Power, and he
thinks that the $500, 900, 900 which the
Japanese are likely to exact by way OF
pecuniary compensation for their sacri-
fees in men and money could be better
expended In constructing a new Russian
feet and in exhausting the enemy's re-
sources by protracted land operations.
What the Car seems not TO perceive is
the fact that the money needed for an
indemnity could be secured through
French and German bankers, whereas
if he persisted in applying an equivalent
sum to the prosecution of the war he
would have to draw upon the gold re-
serve in his treasury, and levy forced
contributions on the Russian Church. a
proceeding which would cause the Or
thodox clergy quickly to change their
attitude.
With such a sovereign as NICHoLAsu.,
no one can venture to predict the course
which the Russian Government will take.
Meanwhile it il plain that the Mikado's
advisers are not counting upon peace,
for they are about to issue new domestic
loan in addition TO the large sum recently
borrowed with ease abroad.
