ADMIRAL EVANS TO
Be REIMBURSED
Treasury Department Makes
Arrangement to Pay Trav-
cling Expenses.
SOME APPREHENS SION.

Washington, d. c. Jan. 4-Arrange
meuts have been made with the treas
ury department by which Rear-Admir.
al Evans, cOmmander-in-chie OF the
Atlantic feet, and the officers who are
associated with him. may be REIN
bursed for their expenses in discharg
ing official COurtesies which may de
EOlVe upon them at the various ports
they will visit. This decision is re
ceived with considerable satisfaction
by those officers who have been appre
hensive that they would be put TO con
siderable expense on account Of the
cruise Of the vessels. especially as the
trip may be extended so as to return
70 the Atlantic Coast by way of Suez
That would mean call at the various
European ports. The decision OF the
treasury department has to DO only
with certain travelling expenses In the
way of providing the means of trans
pOrtatiOn, and does not take into &C
count any reimbursement for the out
lay in the way OF dining or winning or
shipbOard in return for similar cOur
tesies extended to our naval officers
on shore.

Has Not Played His Cards in
The Usual Fashion the
Past Few Days.
SENDS AN APRIL STORM.
DAY WAS SOMEWHAT OUT OF
THE ORDINARY-c COLD WAVE
NOW IN PROSPECT.

The past week has furnished some
remarkable weather for this season of
the year. There were April thunder
and lightning storms accompanied by
heavy rainfall and in the middle Of the
week there was clear, fresh fall
weather, which reminded the resi-
dents of Indian summer.
A heavy rainfall in midwinter is
something that does not often happen
even in this changeable climate. but
last Sunday evening over a half inch
of rain fell. The following day there
was SO of an inch, making the total
precipitation for the two days over
one inch.
The advance guard. Of what promis-
es to be a robust cold wave, straight
from Medicine Hat, arrived in the city
last night. Weather predictions
throughout the middle west are for a
continued cold spell. The following
table shows the conditions of the past
week:

Cory Items.

A meeting was held last Saturday at
Austin to discuss the betterment of
our domestic water. A preliminary
organization was effected looking to a
complete system of water mains cover
ing all of Surface Creek below Eckert.
The hope is that the upper country
will fall in line and extend it up to
Grand Mesa. The most feasible plan
for the present seems to be to build
line from Eckert to the hill at Fairview
school house; there to build reservoir
Of 1000 barrels and to build water
mains where needed over the lower
mesa. This will be the best invest
ment Surface Creek could possibly
make.
Within the past month there have
been four surveying parties running
lines over Surface Creek and up Tongue
Creek. What does it mean? Who
knows the answer? We hazard a guess
that the hopes of Cedaredge are about
to be realized in the shape of an cleo
trio line.
