SURE WATER SUPPLY
DENVER WILL NEVER GO DRY
cheesman Lake Equal to New Works.
Big crOton Acknowledgment
Masonry Dam In the World.

The water In Cheesman lake. the
reservoir recently completed by the
Denver Union Water company, has
reached the highest point since the
construction OF the monster dam.
which is the highest masonry dam in
the world.
The water In the lake Is over 100
feet deep to-day" said Walter S. Chees.
man OF the water company yesterday.
The reservoir now contains about 90.
900 goo. 600 gallons OF water. its great

Ions. This Is the highest point yet
reached. II the water reached twenty
two feet higher. II would flow over the
spillway. Six months ago the lake con.
tanned less than 5000 900 gallons.
The total depth OF the reservoir Is 2l2
feet.
The capacity OF Cheesman lake Is
about the same as the big CrOton res.
eryoir in New York. which Is supposed
to contain about $4,000. 100000 gallons
OF water However, the Croton reser.
volr is not so deep and covers 70 much
larger area that the danger OF loss by
seepage and evaporation Is increased
to such an extent that II really will
save no more water than Cheesman
lake
"Denver's water supply Is now fully
assured Besides this big storage al

six or eight billion gallons OF water in

Protecting Against Bate Reduction

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent PROPOSE
ton OF ]. Pope Brown. Chairman Of
the Georgia Railroad commission. to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood

Of Railway Conductors, and unions OF
The blacksmiths. machlnlsts and teleg.
raphers, boilermakers. railway train.
men, carpenters and jolners, clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially TO rep.
resent them, who urged that such a
reduction would work against the
prosperity Of the state and lead to a
reduction In the number OF railroad
employees, as we'll as Of their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
also protested that reduction, as
proposed, would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.

STATES INSURANCE BILL.
South DakOtans Paid $2,737, $40 for
All Classes 1904.

The advance sheets of the 1904 bust
ness of insurance companies in South
Dakota show that foreign fire COM
panies wrote and renewed risks for the
year amounting to $45,052,7l6, and
collected premiums amounting to $685.
6S4. and paid out losses of $347 1894 leav-
ing the companies $435, $3.50. The COM
panies, therefore, returned to the state
in the way of losses about As per cent
of the preiums received.
Foreign life insurance companies can
not complain that they are making no
profits on their South Dakoaa business,
as they wrote risks of $3.50, 447,
received preiums Of $1.l64,905, and
paid in losses $l62,644, less than Is per
cent of their receipts, leaving them
$l,000,000 out of which to pay taxes
and expenses and hold as profits. fi
The assessment and fraternal com
panies carry risks to the amount of
$78, sos, $50, and received as assessments
$472, ll5, paying losses amounting to
$423,607.
The South Dakota mutuals did fair
share of business for the year, receiving
premiums of 1911 $40, and paying losses
of Sl2o,145,
The people of the state paid out for
all classes of insurance, 81, 3737 $40 and
received in the way of losses 81 ,004, 1911.
1t is believed that the companies
which will be organized under the new
state law and in the future take share
of the life insurance business and leave
portion of the money in the state,
which now goes TO ontside institutions.
