WEATHER INTERFERS
WITH PAVING WORK
Contr actors May Ask For an
Extension of Time.
Paving on Grand Avenue Approve
by Public Service Boarp-
Meeting Tonight.

Work of paving the various
streets being improved this summer
IS progressing rather slowly and the
rain today came as an additional
obstacle. However, everything is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible
and it is thought there will be
10 trouble getting the paving down
and ready for use before the bad
weather sets in for good. There is
possibility that one or two of the
contractors may find it necessary
20 ask for an extension of time.
Monday the board of public SER
vice went out to Grand avenue
md approved the paving of that
rhoroughfare from Center street to
The railroad, which was finished last
week. The street is now ready for
use. Tonight the board of public
service will meet to award the con-
ract for building sewer drain
from Grand avenue to the George
street ditch. Considerable trouble
with floods has been experienced
Turing rainy seasons by people
living on Grand avenue.
Work on Girard avenue is pro-
PRESSING nicely and the street will
probably be completed within ten
lays.

chapel each morning if they expect
their names to remain on the uni
versity register.
Neither cards or dancing will be
allowed and DIR. Smith laid down
number of minor rules which
he vowed will have to be obeyed.
The president is of the opinion that
the students attending the univer-
sity, being Of younger class, need
moral guidance and there will be
no leniency exercises in enforcing
the rules to the letter.
DR.. Smith has boen very sue
cessful in his work at Ada and
it seems as though he has gained
the degree of respect of the student
which his predecessors did not en-
joy. He has shown himself an
able and practical educator and
great things are predicted for the
colleges future.

but interferes with the cold-air ven
tilating apparatus. Consequently
half of the time the pupils are
breathing the nauseating odor that
comes through the ventilating pipes.
After discussing the matter at
some length the board determined
that the matter should be remedied.
Mr.. Dickerson was Of the opinion
that another tap should be made
to the sewer and new closets secur-
ed. The cost of the improvement
will not exceed $500. The board
authorized the building and grounds
committee TO look after the matter
and see that the unsanitary condi-
tions are quickly relieved.
Mr.. Dickerson as chairman Of th
building and grounds committee rec
commended that new stone side
walk be laid at the Silver street
building. He said that there is
about sixty-two feet Of walk need
ed there and when the improvement
is effected there will not be a
building in the city not well equip
ped with stone sidewalks. The
committee was authorized to look
after the construction of the walk.
A set OF resolutions governing
teachers salaries was submitted by
member Dickerson. The resolution
which follows, was accepted and
placed on file.
Resolved: That the maximum
salary of graded teachers for the
school year from September, 1907,
to June 1908 be as follows unless
otherwise ordered by the board of
education.
First grade $j5. Seventh grade

grade to which they are assigned
with the following exceptions, who
will be paid as follows; Flora

Twenty-six people are known to have
been killed and the final list will to-
tai much higher than this number. The
injured number about 100, many Of
whom are seriously injured and will
die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. Four Of them were
smashed into splinters.
Most of the dead were Italians from
New York and New Orleans. going to
San Francisco. They occupied the
smoker and day coach.
The dead were terribly MANNED and
mangled. Eighteen of them were taken
to an undertaking establishment at
Cotton and eight additional bodies
could be seen underneath one of the
overturned and demolished cars.
This car could not be raised until
derrick was brought from Los Angeles,
sixty miles away.
The injured were brought to this city
in vehicles of all sorts, and the Cotton
hospital was quickly filled to its ca
pacity. Many were taken to the Pres
byterian church and to private resi-
dences In the city.

Governor Buchtel is interested in all
the festivities which, as a rule, mark

OF calling April "Arbor Month" but
was advised that the law sets aside but
one day to be observed. He has issued
the following proclamation:
The Colorado Arbor Day law is as
follows:

ment Of public and private grounds.

forts and undertakings as shall be in
harmony with the general character of
the day SO established; provided. that
the actual planting of trees may be
done on the day designated. or at such
other most convenient time as may
best conform to local climatic condi-
tions, such other time to be desig-
mated, and due notice thereof given.
by the several county superintendents
OF schools for their respective coun-
ties"
In accordance with this law. there
fore designate, Friday, April 18th, as

lily recommend to all the people OF
the state. to all professors and stu
dents in educational institutions. and
to all teachers and pupils In the public
schools, that the day be observed in
the manner contemplated by the law.
Special attention is directed to the ad
vice In The law that the actual plant
Ing OF trees shall be done at such con-
venient time as may best conform to
local climatic conditions. The entire
month of April should. therefore. be
recognized as the month for the plant
Ing OF trees In Colorado.
In witness whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great
