Denver.-The usual number OF CON
flicting statements by telegraph and
strike officials appear, both sides
claiming victory. r.f-
More operators were at work In Chi
cago and New York Monday.
In Denver the service was not as
good as on Saturday and the men who
have been working long hours under
unfavorable conditions since the strike
began are showing exhaustion, but the
managers claim to be handling the
business promptly.
Chicago.-The developments in the
telegraphers' strike comprise the
calling out of leased wire operators in
six brokerage houses and the issuing
of a number of conflicting statements
regarding the progress of the strike by
the officials of the union and by those
Of the telegraph companies.
Both sides claim to have the strike
won. The telegraph companies. how
ever, are daily increasing the number
of men at work, and both of them have
on the board of trade larger number
OF operators than at any time since the
commencement of the strike.
Many of the messenger boys who
struck the day following the walkout Of
the operators returned to work.
All efforts by outside parties looking
toward adjustment of the trouble have
been abandoned and the contest to all
appearances has settled down to
waiting game on both sides.
Washington.-Presid GOmpers OF
the American Federation of Labor re-
ported to the executive council OF the
federation that he, John Mitchell OF
Indianapolis and Daniel ]. Keefe OF
Detroit had been entrusted by united
labor with an attempt to bring about
"an honorable adjustment of the te-
legraphers' strike at an opportune
time."
Mr.. Gompers was asked when he

The discovery that the State Board
Of Equalization has reduced the as
sessed valuation Of the Rio Grande
Western railway In Mesa county $780,
900, was made by the county commits
sioners when the certified copy OF the
equalization body was received from
Denver. The commissioners took
prompt action in the matter and i'm
mediatelY sent petition to the gov
ernor demanding that the valuation Of
the company be placed at the same
figure as last year. This year the board
has fixed a value upon the thirty-four
miles Of track operated at $4,000 a
mile, while the assessment in 1906
was $4,000. This does not include
the rolling stock, etc. The appraised
valuation of the Rio Grande Junction
and other railways operating in Mesa
county are practically the same as
heretofore. The commissioners are at
loss to understand why such a re-
markable reduction should be made for
the Rio Grande Western, as its track,
rolling stock and other property is said
to be identically the same as last year.
Should the state board not rescind its
action, Mesa county will lose over
$4,000, as this 10 the amount of taxes
that would be derived from the former
assessment.

It ought TO be good news to all
cities Of any size that there is a fair
prospect OF the railroad smoke nuts
ance being abolished. The Geologi'
cal Survey has been on the problem
along with its other fuel investiga-
tions and has found that briquettes
made of the slack coal from the mines
mixed with a little coal tar viii burn
in locomotive without smoke and
really furnish more steam than ordi-
nary coal. The reason that they have
not been more generally used hereto
fore is that there has not been enough
margin Of profit in making briquettes.
But since they furnish good smoke
less fuel there is a fair probability
that their use will be taken up by
the railroads within the limits Of large
cities and thus large part of the
city smoke nuisance will be done
away with.

The system Of sewerage viii soon
be completed, as only a half-mile or
SO OF pipe is to be laid, and only
a few manholes to construct
But this is the question:
Where are we going to get the
water to operate this SYSTEM
This water proposition is already
proving a serious one, and is going
to prove more serious if this section
is not blessed With abundant rain
at a very early date or the wells
which are now being drilled at the
wategworks do not flow sufficiently
to supply the demand. AS It is at
present, and as it has been for the
past six OF eight months, there is
hardly sufficient water in the sup
ply to answer absolute domestic pur-
poses, and half the time it is mat
ter of impossibility to secure water
on the second floor of any building
through an ordinary standard pipe.
It has not been two weeks since
Superintendent of Waterworks Miller
through a public request in The Sun,
urged upon the patrons of the water
works to refrain from using water
for sprinkling lawns, or for any other
irrigation, as the supply was distress
singly low. This has been caused,
however, on account of the extreme
and continued drought.
Now the question arises, what good
will be derived from this sewerage
system with the present supply of
water?
Everybody realizes the great adj
vantages derived from modern sys-
tenn of sewerage, and nobody is OBJ
jecting to the system we will have,
because it is one Of the most modern
of the modern ages. 1t will be equip
ped with automatic Pushes, which
win require little attention, and win
be in every way a good job, con-
structed in a manner in accordance
with the contract; but it must be
remembered that 1t requires mil
lion gallons of water a day of twenty
four hours to keep the pipes flushed,
whereas we are now credited with
supply of considerably less than
that, and for domestic purposes only,
and then the supply falls short of
the demand
II has been said, and 1t is natural TO
suppose, that this great sewerage sys-
TEN must be tested as to it's eff.
cheney before Contractor Beeman can
secure his payment for same. 1t re-
quires a whole lot of water to test
the system as 1t should be tested, and
as matters now stand 1t would look as
though the waterworks plant would
be compelled to shut OF every con-
sumner and back up" for week in
order to accumulate the necessary
supply for this test.
II is 70 be hoped that the City
Council will provide for some adequate
water supply before a great while, as
It is a foregone conclusion that there
will be no use installing the sever
age system until this supply is Sc
cured.

+ The government Of France has Just
appointed Dr. Harvey Wiley. chief
chemist and food expert OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, on the board Of
inquiry into the wine rebellion in
France. The wine rebellion seems
like almost farofcaI proposition
from this side of the water, but to
the French it is very serious. DIR.
Wiley has been appointed on the
board of inquiry principally because
he is member of the French Pure
Food Society and has made a special
study OF French wines for export to
the United States His inquiries have
not been very favorable to the French
manufacturers, indicating that much
of the falling of in the French
foreign trade was due to the shame
less adulteration of French export
wines. This was the same state of
affairs that was disclosed by Dr..
wlley's investigation of the Scotch
whiskey trade. There were stringent
laws at home for the making of pure
whiskey, but the manufacturers were
allowed to put up anything they
wanted for selling to the United
States. It would appear that in view
of these experiences Or. Wiley will
not prove a very helpful witness for
the French wine growers before the
nations OF the world but at least he
may be able to do something toward
putting the French wine industry on
better and more honest footing
