A CLEANUP DAY.

The city council has designat-
ed next Thursday, April Both, as
a cleanup day and on that date
will furnish teams free to haul
away all the rubbish that has
accumulated around town during
the past year. In order to facili-
tate the work everyone is re-

cleaned up and the rubbish piled
at some convenient place SO the
teams can get it easily. If this
is not done the owner will haye
to stand the expense of having it
hauled away later.
Now let everyone get busy
and have everything ready for
the garbage wagons next Thurs

of all the citizens and: we can
make our town look as bright
and clean as a spring flower.

WILL GRADE THE BALL PARK.

Manager Severns has secured
a lease on the Mcpherson tract
in the north end of town for a
base ball park this summer and,
as soon as the weather will per-
NIT, will commence the work of
putting the ground into shape.
A big grand stand will be built
to accommodate the large crowds
of ball enthusiasts. Quite a bit
of work will be necessary to get
the diamond into good shape and
the cooperation of all is request
ed to assist with the work.
There are few of our citizens
who cannot afford to donate a
days work toward fixing the
grounds and Mr.. Severns would
like to have all turn out some day
next week, with teams, shovels,
saws and hammers, and put up
the grand stand and get the
grounds in shape with a rush.
Men with teams and drags and
rollers are especially wanted.
At this time the prospects for
a high class ball team here this
summer are especially bright and
it is the intention to have the
boys together and ready for work
early next month. The first
game will be played here on
May End with the Vollmer team.

Tuesday being a beautiful day,
/ took a seat along side Mr..
Higdon, our we'll known stage
manager, and went out to
Lawyers canyon, where the
Kelly, Atkinson Construction
Co., of Chicago, ILL.,, are erecting
the big steel bridge across the
canyon for the N. P. railroad,
In this huge structure there
are twenty-five girders of the
following dimensions: Twelve,
40 feet long, weighing $4,000
lbs.; six, 60 feet long, weighing
$4,000, lbs; two, 80 feet long,
Weighing $4,000 lbs; five, 100
feet long, weighing $4,000.
Total lenght 1900 feet or a little
over one-fourth of a mile. 2412
tons of steel are used in the con-
struction of the bridge. They
are now placing the bents that
will support the first 100 foot
girder. This bent alone weighs
Something over 100 tons and
stands 211 feet high above the
concrete. The next bent, which
will go up in about ten days,
weighs 135 tons, or 100000 lbs.
It stands 261 feet high. The
five girders which are in the
center of the canyon are all of
equal length, 100 #. x 10 ft. and
6 6inches. They are lifted bodily
and placed with the derrick.
This derrick is specially built for
this purpose. 1t is mounted on

Of the car is ballasted with 40
tons of steel. There has been
no trouble in raising and running
ahead with so ton loads. The
bridge requires $4,000 rivets or
approximately two car loads.
This information was obtained
through the courtesy and patti
ence of M. j. Trees, the engin-
eer. and Gus Shenewerk, super.
intendent of construction.
They are both young Chicago
men and are bridge men in every
sense of the word. They are
working about 80 skilled laborers
who are paid about So per day,
the best of them. The bridge
will be completed about July
18th, 1908, with everything
favorable. The concrete work is
well under way and no doubt
will be through by July 1st, 1908
There is over 5000 yards already
in, at a cost of from $18 to $2(

While the Republican banquet at
the Park opera house Saturday aight
was not as great an affair or az Aar-
monious in its features as many of
the leaders had hoped for, still 1t
was an event out of which many of
the party men got much satisfaction.
The sharp tilt between ex-Con-
gressman H. NJ. Hogg and candidate
for u. s. Senator Clarence C Hamlin,
on the tariff and reclamation .ques-
tions, caused a decided ripple on the
outlined harmony program of the
night, and caused not little excite
ment. Hamlin declared for revis-
ion of the tariff and held that the
government should go into its treas
ury for funds to reclaim arid sections
like that which would be reclaimed
by the high line canal instead of de-
pending on the funds paid in by the
people in these western states to
meet the expenses. Mr.. Hogg object
ed to both of these policies and prov
ed himself a stand-patter in every
sense of the word. He thinks the
tariff is all right and that it would
be making concessions TO the Demo-
cratic teachings to amend the tariff
even If 1T Is for the best interests OF
the country.
Besides the addresses of Messrs.
Hogg and Hamlin Attorney ]. S.
Carnahan, of this city, delivered a
short address. Congressman Haggott
was not present.

opening remarks to give The Sentinel
some advertising and without blush
ing declared that the harmony that
prevailed among Mesa county Re
publicans is as calm, perfect and
quiet as the surface Of a land locked
lake in the middle of June. The
senator as usual got very oratorical
and flowery at times during the
evening and fairly bubbled over ev-
cry now and then with harmony talk.
In spite of the strenuous efforts on
the part of the leaders there were no
great outbursts of enthusiasm during
the evening.
Again was Gov. Buchtel ignored by
all the speakers and in every other
way possible. Great pictures of
Roosevelt, Mckinley, Lincoln and
Caswell were displayed but the coun-
tenance of the preacher-governor
was no where to be seen.
The guests were seated shortly az
ter seven O'Clock. About 250 ladies
and gentlemen were present. The
crowd, was made up of Republicans
from different sections of the coun-
ty. A great number of we'll known
Republicans of the city made no eff
fort to attend the banquet.
The ladies of the Congregational
church served the supper which was
very tempting in its menu and very
successfully served.
Boyer's orchestra furnished music
during the evening.
The banquet ended about eleven
o'clock.
