WILL COMPLETE
OUTFALL SEWER
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Is
GIVEN POWER
Council Passes Ordinance and Appro-
PIRATES $25oo for Some Neces-
sary Preliminary Work-Wili
Advertise for Bids

After numerous delays the board of
public works Is at last In POSITION
to advertise for bids for the compile
ton of the outfall sewer. An ordin-
ance giving the board this power was
passed by the city council yesterday
afternoon. Following the ordinance q
resolution was passed giving the board
the authority to expend not to exceed
s2500 in doing some preliminary work
that must be accomplished before
thorough investigation of existing con-
ditions can be made.
The board submitted it's report to the
council on the sewer question as fol-
lows:
There remains uncompleted about
$4,000 feet of said sewer. The incom-
pleted part embraces portions of each
section of the sewer. The exact por-
tions remaining incomplete are shown
by a copy of the city engineers report.
The portions incompleted vary in diff
ficulty of construction. Section 3,
known as the tunnel section being
by far the most difficult, but the re-
naming portion, while not homogen-
eous, is practically all open work.
Advise Contract Work
"As at present advised, this board is
of the opinion that the uncompleted
work should be let by contract, particu-
larly that portion known as Section 8,
or the tunnel section and that pro-
posals or bids for the construction of
said work should be called for, not upon
the work as a whole, but separate bids
should be asked for upon Section 3,
therefore this board recommends that
your honorable body adopt an ordin-
ance providing that the city proceed
forthwith to complete said outfall
sewer according to the plans and speci-
fications therefor, and that said work
be relet either in whole or part, and as
to such parts not relet the same be
completed by the city employing the
necessary labor and furnishing the nee
essary tools and material therefor.
This board further states to your
honorable body that owing to the pres
ent condition of various portions of
said work some parts cannot be fully
inspected, and as to other portions the
work of the board and the city engineer
in finally determining the manner in
which said work should be completed
would be facilitated if certain prelim-
mary work were done in the way of
cleaning out and opening and deepen
ing shafts and wells at an estimated
cost not to exceed $780, and it is a
matter of urgent necessity that such
work be done. Wherefore, this board
asks that it may be authorized by
resolution to contract for labor and
materials required for such preliminary
work"

SANTA FE STARTS
FISCAL YEAR WELL
iULY EXHIBITS GAINS OVER
LAST YEARS TOTALS
New York Central official Declares
Hepburn Law Changes Are No
More Radical Than the
Earlier Enactment

The statement of earnings of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company for July is no exception to
the long series Of excellent monthly
statements which have been issued by
that company.
The fiscal year Of the company, which
ended on June 30 last, was by far
the best year in every respect in the
history of the corporation. Both the
gross and net earnings during the last
fiscal year showed such large increases
over the last fiscal year that 1t was
thought by some observers that the
company would not be able to report
monthly earnings during the present
fiscal year much in excess of those
for the twelve months period which
ended on June 30 last.
Evidently this forecast was not made
by those who are familiar with the
excellent physical condition of the
property nor with the immense amount
Of traffic which is being offered the
company.
The increase of $703,000 in the gross
earnings for July represents an ex-
pansion in that item, in comparison
with the returns for the first month
Of the previous fiscal year of more
than IL per cent. The operating ex-
penses were small in proportion to the
y
gain in the net earnings from opera
ton of considerably more than 21 pei
cent. After deducting taxes an6
rentals the increase in the net income
was in excess o. 20 per cent.
Continue to Gain
Officials are confident that the earn.
ings of their road will continue tc

coming autumn in comparison with the
corresponding months of 1905.
The roads common stock has beer
one of the most active and one of the
strongest features in the stock market
for some days.
Apparently the advance of 16 or l.
points within a few weeks has beer
based upon the belief that a higher
rate of dividend will be paid on Decem.
Der 1 next.
1t cannot be learned that the man.
agement has under consideration the
issue of additional stock. There seems
to be confidence that at least a semi
annual dividend of 2 1-2 per cent will
be ordered at the monthly meeting OF
the board either in September ol
October, and it would not cause sur
prise if that rate and an extra dis.
bursement of 1-2 per cent for the si1
months were declared.
The regular monthly meeting ir
September takes place today. II
is not expected by men who know
that the dividend will be de.
clared at this time. 1t is difficulr
however, to forecast what a board
composed of fifteen members will do a
a given time with respect to such al
important question.
The fact about which there cal
be the least doubt with respec
to the dividend question is that tn,
earnings are nearly four times the
rate now being paid on the common
stock. Consequently 6 per cent for the
Santa Fe would not represent a more
liberal distribution than 10 per cen
for Union Pacific common stock.

following morning at 10 o'clock. Special
attention Will be paid to the music, a
great part of which is of traditional
character The shofar sounds will be
heard as of old, but not on the rams

heard in some places of worship, but
on the cornet, while the significance of
the peculiar sounds will be explained
to the worshipers in the ritual for the
day.
The hottest of all the days of the
year follows ten days later. 1t is the

occurred during the past year.
The union prayerbook now in use by
over 200 congregations in America will
be used during the coming days of
holiness, thereby making worshipers
from other communities feel at home
IN the temple.
For the opening service Friday even

ALL FEATURE CIRCUS
Many Novelties With the Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Bros. Circus

When 1t comes to a family vote, the
circus leads every other kind of enter
tainment, and how it has grown in the
last few years. This applies not only
to the size of the tents, but to the gem
eral tone and excellence of the things 1t
offers. The Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Enormous Shows United
are a vivid example of this truth. II
has grown so big that four special trains
are required to haul it from place to
place. In addition to its many wonders
it has a big Fire Show, in which forty
famous fire fighters appear, with
spectacular background of over lOOO
people. The big circus tent is provided
with seating accommodations for ten
thousand people. Three rings, two
enormous stages and a hippodrome
track one-quarter of mile long. with
a forest of overhead riggings are used
for the circus features. Most of the
acts are new, strange as this may
sound, and have created sensational in
terest in European countries. There
are more than two hundred performers
in the revolving bill, as many as ten
acts going on at one time. Every sec
ond of time counts in the two hours
of the ring acts. In fact, the frictiOnless
movement of the tremendous circus
program, like that afforded by Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers, is one of
the very remarkable things about the
big shows, and is calculated to take
some of the conceit out of the average
puffed up theater spectacle stage man
ager. The three herds of performing
elephants with these superior shows
are worth going miles to see. They do
the most unnatural things with the
grace and precision of a trained aero
bat. To see the bulky fellows poise
themselves on their heads, evolve dane
ing figures with regard of tune and
changing style, and pantomimically
enact the broad humor of farcical skit.
is a spectacle not soon forgotten, and
is wholly unlike any other exhibition
of the kind before the public. Captain
Webb's educated seals bring home the
fact that these small-headed beasts are
the most intelligent in all wild animal
nature. They occupy the two great
stages and take a cue with the sympa-
thetic of the most fervent and culti-
waited artist. They play musical in
struments. balance and toss balls to
each other, and juggle different objects
with the most expert human dexterity.
II is the most marvellous exhibition Of
animal training in the whole world.
Circus day will begin with a street
pageant, starting from the show
grounds at ten O'Clock In the morning.
This street display is the most magni-
flcent and munificent ever organized.
