PLANT is IN POSITION

The steel frame for the addition to
the plant of the Colorado Light and
Power company, near the Soda Spring,
has bean placed in position and a
good idea of the enlarged structure
may be had.
An Immense amount OF preliminary
work was necessary before the erec-
ton of the building proper could be-
gin, but this feature of the undertake
ing has been done and progress will
be more rapid than at any time since
the enterprise was inaugurated.
The Foundation is of concrete and
lis of the most permanent and sub
stantiai character The superstruc-
ture will be of steel and brick, and
will be as architecturally attractive as
possible for building devoted to COM
mercial purposes
1t will be supplied with the latest
and most powerful electrical equip
ment and will be one of the largest
plants of its kind in this part of the
state
Twenty car loads of machinery for
installation in the expanded structure
will be brought down from the La
Bella plant at Cripple Creek within
the next week or so. indeed some of it
has already arrived and is being haul
ed down to the place where it is

WATER PROPOSITION LOST OUT
BY VERY SMALL MAJORITY
Everybody Against Voted and the Plan Was Lost In

The special election held on Mon
day with a view Of ascertaining
whether or not the tax payers OF
Canon City favored municipal issue
In the sum of 100000 for the con-
struction of new system OF water
works resulted In defeat OF the pro-
position by three votes. Out Of total
Of approximately i've hundred and
sorty-flve people entitled to vote on
the proposition only three hundred
ballots were cast, surprising small
number considering the Importance
Of the subject and the general discus

the last few months. -

nothing tangible can be done by Mr..
Heath and his associates towards
building the road.
Although we are unable to make
any definite statement in relation to
the enterprise being promoted by Mr..
Heath. we are assured that the indi-
cations are very favorable for its con-
struction, provided the people of
Canon City subscribe the required bo-
nue. to guarante the interest on the
bonds for a period of two years and
pay the expense connected with their
notation. Mr.. Umbenhauer will
leave Philadelphia for Kansas City on
the 10th inst. and. with his associates,
will arrive here a few days later TO
consult the committee charged with
raising the bonus and to attend the
banquet to be given at the Strathmore
hotel under the auspices OF the Mer-
chants Association. II the $4,000
bonus demanded as prerequisite to
the building of the road Is subscribed
by that time the enterprise will un-
questionabiy be carried out. otherwise
1t is highly probable that othing will
be done in the matter.

WHITNEY DEFENDS PRESIDENT
Editor cf Outing Calls ". j. Long
the Worst of the Fakers.

New York. May 23-Caspar Whitney.
editor of Outing. and an acknowledged
authority on the game and Wild life gen
orally, took up the cudgel in defense of
the President to-day in the controversy
regarding nature takers between Mr..
Roosevelt and William J. Long. the ami
NAL writer.
Il have been greatly amused at Mr..
Longs reply TO th5 article showing up
nature takers which the President wrote. "
said Mr. Whitney.
THAT reply was nearly all rot The
President is "a game killer. but he does not
kill merely for the love of Staying. as
Mr.. Long intimates. What game he does
kill he studies scientifically.
Mr.. Longs statement that Mr.. Roose-
welt had aimed personal attack against
him is ridiculous. The President doesn't
care what M. Long thinks; he isn't in
terested enough in the doings Of that gen
tleman TO give him personal roasting.
He merely condemns his practice Of writ
ing as fact imaginary accounts of the do
ings of animals
Mr. Long has taken the course Of
other nature takers. Cornered with his
stories prefaced as facts. he has not dared
TO- retract, and has been forced to back
them Up. He talks about the President
not knowing anything about animals.
Well. if Mr.. Long knew half as much he
would avoid some of his errors"
