FOR Philippine ALWAYS.
Post Routes and Military Roads Are
Soon to Be Constructed in
Islands.

Bids were lately opened at the bu-
reau of insular affairs \>f the war de-
partment for concessionary contracts
or grants to be made by the Philip
pine government for the construction,
maintenance and operation of rail-
roads in the Philippine islands, as por-
vided by act of congress. Circulars in
viting proposals for these grants were
issued during the summer, and bids
we're opened on December Is last, but
owing to departures from the terms
proposed all bids her submitted were
rejected and new proposals were in
vited under modified conditions.
The circular provides for the con-
%struction of railway lines on the
islands Of Luzon, Panay, Negros, Cebu,
Leyte and Samar, whose aggregate
mileage is estimated at 1888 miles.
The Philippine government proposed
to guarantee for a fixed period, the
grantee of interest at a fixed rate, not
to exceed four per cent per annum,
first lien bonds issued by the grantee
under the concessionary contract or
grant to an amount not to exceed 50
per cent. of the actual cost of con-
struction and equipment.
Under the modified conditions bid
bers who proposed to build lines with
out a guarantee were permitted to de-
| viate from the terms of the original
invitation, providing the terms pro-
posed could be lawfully granted by the
Philippine government under the act
of congress-, and those taking advant
age of the guarantee were permitted
to deviate from the original terms as
to time and cost of construction In so
far as contractors profit affect that
item, the Philippine government re-
serving the right to reject a bid where
this item exceeded a reasonable a
imum amount. Under the new pro-
posal 1t was stated that time of con-
struction and contractors profits re-
uuired would be additional points of
competition in awarding the conces-
sions. An alternative route was pro-
posed for the island Of Leyte. No bids
were submitted at the last competition
for the grants for the islands of Leyte
or Samar.
The lines to be constructed are to be
post routes and military roads, sub
ject to use of the Philippine govern
ment and the United States for postal,
military. naval and other government
al service, anu the act of congress pro-
vides the in which the gross
earnings shall be applied. Points to be
considered in the awarding of the
grants are as to the extent OF lines
which will be built without guarantee,
the rate of interest to be guaranteed
on bonds, the duration of the guaran-
tee, and the percentage less than IS
per cent. of the cost of construction.
which the bidder will accept as the
amount for which guarantee bonds
will be issued.

Julesbure School Election,

An old time scLool election was
held in Julesburg last Monday. Early
in the morning Of election day it be-
came known to the voting public that
there were two candidates in the field
w. b. Wallace and J. Brant, The
latter had announced his candidacy
several days before and number Of
his friends had been working for him.
Mr.. Wallace was placed in the field
Monday morning by the opponents of
Mr.. Brant's candidacy, and the friends
of each at once proceeded to get busy.
All the carriages in town were secured
by one side or the other, besides an
automobile and several single bug
gies.
The result of these efforts was that
an unusually heavy vote was polled---
for school election-the total being
lib. OF these Wallace secured II and
Brant 46, with blanks.
Not for several years has SO much
interest been manifested in school
election in the Julesburg district, and
the days battle served to remind the
participants OF old times.
The opposing forces were the same
as those engaged in the election of
county superintendent and other coun-
ty officers in the fall of 1904, but the
result was opposite. The side that
lost the superintendency in 1904 won
the school election in 1906, thus show
ing that many people have had o
change OF heart in the past two
wears,

W. A. McGinnis In Trouble.

The Denver Times, issue of Nav 2,
contained q special despatch to the
effect that Michael Angelo McGinnis
had been convicted of forgery in Kan
sas City, Missouri, and sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary. McGin-
MS and confederate forged q deed
to q city lot and sold it for $3OO.OO
The older residents of Julesbure
will remember McGinnis. Twenty
years ago, in 1886, he was engaged in
publishing democratic newspaper
here. In the following year, after
Logan county had been separated
from Weld county, he was app ppointed
deputy clerk of Logan county, a DO.
sltlon he held for about year. His
record while a resident of Julesburg
was fairly good, although it is said
that some of his official acts while
deputy county clerk were uuestiona-
Bile.
McGinnis is direct descendant O:
John Napier, inventor of Logarithms.
While publishing newspaper in
Newton county, Missouri, he was sen,
to the penitentiary for misuse of the
mails. This was after his departure
from Julesburg. While in the peni.
tentiary he wrote the book which
made him famous with mathernaticians
throughout the world. He called /,
Algebra, the Universal Solution fol
Numerical and Literal Equations. y
After his release from prison the book
was published simultaneously in
America and England,

A Home Insurance COMPANY.

Adam 5. Wagner, agency director
for the Colorado National Life Assur-
ance Company, is in Julesburg solicit
ing business. Mr.. Wagner visited
the town few weeks ago and at that
time wrote u number uf policies, ay
gregating $35 10000.
Tie Colorado National Life is
strictly u home state company. Its
officers aud directors include some OF
the weulthiest men Of this wealthy
state ani the record made by this
company during the first twelve
months OF its life prove that it has al
ready gained the cuntidence OF the
insurance buying public.
The business written during this
time was $3,0l0.5Yl.00, the premiums
upon which amounted to $40, l62 so.
1t is safe to say that no other insur-
ance company ever equalled this re.
cord.
This company ~rites various kinds
OF policies, the premiums running
from $1,000 per 81 100000 per year for
term insurance up to 100000 per
$1,000 per year for endowment inSur-
ance. 1t is therefore equally as good
for the poor man us for the better fix
ed financially.
The assets of the company amount
TO 1890, ,923 IS, with liabilities of
$4O, ,693.lS, and it's stability can readily
be seen by glance at the figures.
The insurance already written by
Mr.. Wagner in Juesburg include poll
cies upon the lives of some of the
towns most conservative business
men. and as the gentleman expects to
remain here for several days he will
no doubt do a large amount of addi-
tional business.
