Visitors Complain

Las Vegas invites people who come
here to explore the lovely canyon Of
the Gallinas and to inspect the beau
tiful grounds on which the Montezuma
IL situated. Several parties who have
entered the Montezuma grounds have
made complaint that some important
individual. who possesses a gun and
who Is also blessed with a side part
ner has ordered them OF the place.
Threats Of shooting visitors have
even been made.
Whether the authority for such
high handed proceedings emenates
with some individual who has been
clothed with a little brief power. or
whether he gets 1t from some higher
source. the principle Is wrong and will
be presented by Las Vegas people.
The National Fraternal Sanitarium
has been widely advertised. Las Vegas
people have worked hard, have put
up money and have made sacrifices TO
land the institution. They expect TO
have the lands donated. open to the
inspection Of the public. And what
eve instruction may have been given
to those In charge. threats OF shoot
ing p%eaceahle visitors can be justified
or backed up by no authority. This
man with the gun Is apt to get him.

Brief Meadow City Paragraphs
SONG.

o spirit OF the Summertime!
Bring back the roses to the dells:
The swallow from her distant cline.
The ~honey.bee from drowsy cells.
Bring back the friendship Of the sun;
The gilded evenings, calm and late,
When merry children homeward run,
And peeping stars bid lovers wait
Bring back the singing; and the scent
OF m~eadowlands at dewy prince
Oh. bring again my hearts content,
Thou Spirit OF the Summertime!

1T SHOULD BE FIXED.
Report on the Electric Wiring of the
Topeka Auditorium.

Insurance Inspector Charles Eldridge,
who made an inspection of the wiring
of the Auditorium in company with
Fire Marshal WilmartF, City Engineer
McCabe and Assistant Engineer King,
sent in his findings to the city engi-
neer's office. The report together with
data for making the necessary altera-
tions is in on file with the city clerk.
Mr.. Eldridge states with regard to the
Auditorium:
In general the National Electrical
Code for safe wiring is violated in
many essential points, and for the safe
ty of the building with the largely in
creased values it now contains in the
new pipe organ, but with the more i'm
portant point of view of life, with the
effect of panic from fire, we believe
these defects should be promptly re-
moved. Since the installation of wiring
there has been additional work at diff
ferent times, the latter part showing
especial neglect and carelessness that
would not have passed the scrutiny of
an efficient electrical inspector, guard
ing the city's interests"
The report upon the inspection of the
city building contains nothing except
data for the improvement of the pres
ent system of wiring.
The report will be brought up at the
next council meeting for action.

PRIVATE CAR LINES.
They Receive Attention From Conven.
ton of Commission Merchants.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.=At the an
nual convention of the National
League of Commission Merchants,
President Charles B. Ayres in his an
nual report discussed very vigorously
the question of private car lines. He
said:
1--WE have instituted a. fight against
one Of the most unrelenting and I'M
scrupulouS monopolies of the age; a
corporation that terrorizes the rail-
roads of our land and even goes so
far as to say to the interstate COM
1nerce commission keep your hands
off; you have no right to interfere no
matter what our transgressions may
be. we are a private car line and will
continue to charge the limit we think
the public will stand and if perchance
you are not satisfied to pay our toll
for the privilege of living you can let
your goods rot, as you must do busi-
ness with us or quit
'sThis is what the Armour exclusive
contracts mean and the agitation of
this matter and the publicity the press
of the land has given to the investiga-
ton has startled the country"
Mr. Ayres said the sympathy of the
interstate commerce commission was
with the commission merchants. but
the commission doubted the power to
give relief. He highly extolled Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
TN him. Mr.. Ayres said, 1--WE have
a. man with whom we can with con-
ddence rest our cause, believing that
sooner or later he will find the proper
means to carry out that policy Of re-
form which was so clearly outlined in
his message"

port said: This will mean to all pur-
poses an entire reinstallation of wiring.
In many places the material has been
interior; in others, the wires have not
been run through conduits and the
sweating of the walls has rotted
away the insulation about the wires.
Some of the material can be utilized
but as / say the recommendations en-
body a practical reinstallation.
Using a conduit system which meets
the highest approval of the National
Board of Fire Insurance underwriters
means the increasing the cost by some
two to three fold over the ordinary
system. The conduit system provides
for the running of all wires through
iron conduits about the size of ordi-
nary gas piping. The Overton Con-
struction company stated when asked
to give some idea of the probable cost
of installing a system of wiring as
mentioned, said that they would be I'M
able to give an estimate off-hand and
that it would take at least a week to
arrive at an approximately correct es-
innate. The Jordan Electrical Con-
struction company thought the proba-
BILE cost would be in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
1t is stated that if the conduit sys-
tenn is adopted the cost would be pro-
baby about $500 to $500.

the pi1ing which the street railway
company left standing to the west OF
the Melan bridge. The piling has
caught all the drift which has come
down the river and as the railway
company has failed to remove the
piers the street force undertook to do
it. A large pile of drift was hung up
against a portion of the bridge. The
Worknen who were working about,
releasing it, started a fire in a portion
of the drift to keep warm. Right
above and threatening to fall at any
instant was a big mass of drift.
Street Commissioner Snyder saw that
it would be impossible to stop the fire
by ordinary methods if the mass
should fall and Immediately ordered
the men to extinguish the flames,
which was done after considerable diff
hculty- A short time afterwards the
mass dislodged.
