SAND FILTRATION
IS SATISFACTORY

City Engineer Theodore Lessen, who
with city Bacteriologist DR.. A. Robin,
recently visited Washington, d. c., to
look into the system Of water filtration
in that city. reported to the Board of
Water Commissioners yesterday af-
ternoon the results Of their visit. The
report was verbal and nothing was
done by the commissioners in the mat
ter. but they were given some very in
teresting information.
Washington has a sand filtration sys-
tenn such as is being constructed in this
city. Typhoid fever is prevalent in the
capital, and it was said the filtration
system was not adequate in removing
the bacteria from the water supply
furnished the city For this reason the
men were zent to Washington to learn
the truth of the case.
Mr.. Lessen informed the board that
the filtration system was not at fault.
and that it was giving satisfaction.
The system removes all but about thir-
teen bacteria per cubic centimeter from
the water, and the health and water
authorities Of Washington don't know
what is causing so much typhoid.
They are making an exhaustive exami-
nation Of every other source from
which they think the germs might
originate, including about fifty wells
and the milk supply, but as yet have
reached no satisfactory results.
Mr.. Leisen asked the Washington au-
thorities if they thought the use Of CO.
agulants would improve the conditions,
but they declared they did not think
so.
Applications for several sewers were
referred to the engineer. The balance
in bank was reported to be S6,2O77S.
The weekly pay roll Of s2,1OS.02 was or
dered paid.

SALE OF LAMAR SPURS.

It is interesting to read the ebul-
lition in the Lamar papers regard
ing the railroad situation III the
Arkansas valley. They seem to
take it for granted that because the
Arkansas Valley railroad has been
transferred to the Santa Fe that
the Holly d. Swink road has also
been sold to them. Mr.. Wiley as
sures us personally that there has
been no sale of the Holly & Swink
railway.
The Lamar editorial brain goes
on and paints picture of Lamar
as the center of the railroad situa-
ton, whereas, as matter of fact,
Lamar is on a branch line and has
its connection with the thru line
ON the north side Of the river over
a bridge which at best can be con-
sidered but makeshift.
1t must be apparent that the
purchase of the Arkansas Valley
railroad by the Santa Fe company
was made with the hope that it
might also acquire the Holly &
Swink road, since without the lat
ter there will be but little, if any,
value to the Santa Fe people in
the Arkansas Valley trunk railroad,
as it would not furnish the parallel
line along the north side of the
river, which is necessary for the
purposes of the Santa Fe.

FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

The Prowers County fair will, no
doubt, be "A triumph this year in
the exhibition Of the products of
this section of Colorado. And this
is not all. The races are more i'm
portant to the average American
citizen than educational features
he thinks so, anyway-and these
have not been neglected.
One of the most promising fea-
lures of the sixth annual meeting
is the aerial race between two bal
looms. Another great event to be
pulled off is the ballgame between
the Holly-Las Animas teams.
The program, taken all in all, is
the best this year that it has ever
been and you make no mistake in
planning to spend three days at
Lamar the last of this month.
The Holly chieftain., 1906-08-17

Health of the prisoners in the
penitentiary at Canyon City is re-
ported to be excellent, only two of
the prisoners being in the hospital.
There is shortage in the enroll
ment and therefore many vacant
cells. This condition may be i'm
proved upon in the state boarding
house when those election frand
cases in Denver are cleared up.
Banker Hill is now a laundry clerk.
His former hospital position is
filed by the Rev. W. Gourley Con-
nell of Lamar. Imboden and FL
deity johnson are still on the road
construction gang, and are in the
prison only on Sunday and nights.
