THEY LOCK HORNS.
City Engineer McCabc Incensed at
City Attorney Dreaming.

James McCabe, city engineer, and F.
C. Dreaming, city attorney, have lock-
ed horns.
The city attorney last evening adj
vised the East Side Improvement club
to hire a drainage expert to go over
the Biddle creek situation for them,
and advised them as to the best ex-
penditure to be made of their money
to handle the situation.
The city engineer takes umbrage
at this suggestion and considers it as
a reflection on his ability as an en-
gineer to advise the proper solution.
Mr.. McCabe considers that the city at
torney belittled him.
The city engineer and city attorney
have been at outs on previous occa-
Sims but managed to get together and
patch up their differences.
A dam for Biddle creek and the con-
struction of lake on the east side
near Thirteenth street has gone by the
board.
The advocates for a sewer outnum-
bered those favoring the dam project
two to one at a meeting held al the
East Parkdale school house last even
ing and on vote the property own

the vexing problem of taking care of

by the appointment of a committee OF
five consisting of o. Swanson J. S.
Triton. E. A Purdy and Sam Cum
ningham- The fifth member remains
to be chosen.
The committee will canvass the
sentiment of the heavier property
owners on the East side and the bust
ness men. If the preponderance of
the sentiment is in favor of a sewer.
the sewer will be built.
The entire East side is unDrOvided
with sewer facilities at present and re-
mains the biggest portion of the thick
ly part of the city that is without
sewer.
A six foot sewer capable of taking
care of the surplus water of Biddle
creek would cost about $135,OOO ac-
cording to the estimate which the city
engineer makes. 1.-THE cost would
run from $3S to $35 on an average for
each lot.' said he. "Biddle creek will.

creek What should be done is to
construct a sewer, say of about ten
feet, which would handle all of the
water. and fill up Biddle creek and
make the value of the surrounding
lots higher
A small sewer to run from BiddIe
creek into Shunganunga built either
north on Locust street to that creek
or on Locust down Sixth avenue to
Lawrence street to the creek are the
routes suggested.
close to $500. This disadvantages
would attach to such a sewer-that
there would be no guarantee that it
could carry off the Biddle creek flood
waters when the Shunganunga is on a
rampage.

farm but will not be in the beet
business this year. @. W. Lucas ia
one of the farmers who does not
worry over the beet situation as he
thinks potatoes are the better crop
In his experience, producing more
income for the outlay of labor and
capital. They have two immense
dugouts, one of which Is emptied,
the other has quantity yet of a
fine spuds, the Rural New Workers,
as we have seen. Their farming
operations this year also include the
feeding Of about thirty-nve hundred
sheep, mainly young stock.
Corn seems to be q word scarcely
in the vocabulary of the Weld county
agriculturist but George Clark, on
the Ed Green ranch, is using corn
to some extent in the handling Of
fifteen hundred sheep being prepared
