$500, 900 Water Plant For City Finally Accepted
Marks Era of Citys Onward Growth.

accordance with the plans and specl-
fications. The time set for the re-
ceipt of bids was placed upon the
last regular meeting night of council
for the month of November, the 2Sth
day of the month.
Clerk Conley notified the board
that he had advertised in the Daily
Bond Buyer, of New York, for bids
for the sale of the bonds.
Previous to the final vote on the
acceptance of the plans and specifi-
cations, Mayor Bunting called for an
of the plans. upon City Engineer Has
kell and Superintendent Vedder. En-
gineer Haskell has been giving the
plans and specifications most rigid
examination and study and when he
rose last night in the council cham
Der to express his opinion. the coun-
Gil was gratified at his words. He
said that the plans and specifications
were all that they should be, that
they We're splendidly drawn and COW
cred fully every detail of construc-
tion thoroughly. He commended the
work of Kelsey and Young and said
that the council was fortunate in Sc
curing such desirable plans He spoke
at length upon the plans and the
council felt gratified that Engineer
| Haskell thought so well of them.
Superintendent Vedder, who has
been no less interested in the selec-
tion of the plans and specifications
and had given them much thought
said that he was greatly pleased
with the plans. Looking toward the
array of plans in blue print that
, filled several large tables, Superin-
tendent Vedder said. "if the water
system of the city of Grand Junction
is constructed after these plans and
specifications, we will have one of
the greatest water systems in the
vest"
The particular work for which the
council had assembled having been
transacted, council adjourned, all
those present feeling that the meeting
held last night. was one of the epoch
making sessions of the council of the
city of Grand Junction.

1t was an epoch making session of
the city council that was held last
night at the city hall. There was
no furry or no grand stand play, but
every member of council present was
deeply impressed with the work that
confronted him.
The council had been called in spec
ial session for the purpose of final
examination and approval of the plans
and specifications of the proposed
new water system for the city of
Grand Junction. The plans and speci-
fications have been i'm the possession
of the council and the special water
committee for nearly two weeks and
during that time they have been made
the subject of the most critical exam
ination by council.
For days past the special water
committee of council have studied
the plans to their minutest detail
About one week ago the council and
the special water committee decided
upon some changes which would in
measure reduce the cost of con-
struction and accordingly the plans
were returned to Kelsey & Young for
correction.
These were made and the plans as
finally corrected were received by the
city council and without delay what
ever the council was called in special
session to make final examination of
the plans and accept them, if they
met their ideas of what they should
be.
1t was a most serious session of the
council and it seemed as if every
member present felt the responsible
ity attached to the action that they
were about to take.
The following councilmen were
presen: Messrs. Davies. o'Boyle, Nc
Culloch, Lutes and Platt. with Mayor
Bunting presiding.
The formal vote on the assptance
of the plans and specifications found
every alderman voting in the affirm
ative. The motion then prevailed that
the special water committee be en-
powered to advertise for bids for the
construction of the waterworks, in

TROUBLE LIKELY
WITH JAPAN

Special to The Sentinel.
Washington, Oct. 27.-Interna-
tioaI complications may follow with
Japan, as a result of the expulsion
of Japanese children from the public
schools of San Francisco.
According to n treaty with Japan
in which the United States is parry
school children, and in fact all Japa-
nese subjects in the United States are
declared to have the same rights as
United States children, but the school
authorities of San Francisco have seen
fit to remove the children of Japan
from the public schools, intending in
the future to put them in separate
school.
Japan, through the Japanese am
bassador to the United States. has
made a protest against the act. The
situation has become so acute that
President Roosevelt after an extend.
ed discussion with the members of the
cabinet yesterday, decided to dispatch
Secretary Metcalf of the department
of commerce and labor to San Fran
cisco, to make close study of the
subject and report directly to him.
The situation is considered very
grave and it will require great di-
plomancy to prevent any open rup-
| ture.

 The Sunday bull fight, held in a large Place de Toro Cbull ring) outside the town, was the principal amusement. I cannot say much for this sort of en- tertainment. The so-called bulls were worn out cows who deserved a better fate than to be goaded into some sort of fury by the flashing picadors, who stuck picadllloes into them. In most eases they had dropped refusing to move and the audience became furious.

To refuse to accept them would have been the greatest insult and my husband was obliged to carry them home for me, to his disgust.
 Some Spanish ladies asked me after ward how I felt when the great mata- dor singled me out for this high flonor. When I told them that was rather an- noyed by his drawing the attention of the crowd to me in this the trical fash ion they were furious at my ungrate- fitness, and told me "it would have been the day of tleir lives" and they would have had proposals galore.
 In the course of a scrambling ex- petition into the country over rough mountain roads we were, obliged to camp out on hard boulders with only a macintosh to keep out the cold. During the night I was frightened al- most out of my wits-I felt hand tug ging my hair, and calling out to my husband we saw big monkey leaning down from the branches of a tree above us, pulling away at my hair His hor- ribe claws had gripped such lot that, when he finally let go, after being bela- bored with the stock of revolver, he naQ uGdTly ildll Ol IL III HIS ueillu,

At first I tried to pick out these additions, and seeing the woman eying me furiously I called her and tried to tell her in my best Spanish that I was not accustomed to eat ants-and that wished she had been careful not to let them drop into the dish.
 Her indignation was immense. With flashing eyes and gesticulating wildly s'ae told me in excited language that 1t had taken her long time to catch those ants, and that it was ''so good. {" Do try it, senora," she said, and dip ping her dirty fingers into the bowl she fshed them out and showed me how much she, at all events, enjoyed eating them as a sort of savory to the eggs, and trying to encourage me by her example.
