The United States smelter at Bing-
nam junction Is operating with four
furnaces in commission and yet prac-
tically no smoke Is seen issuing from
the top OF the high lead stack. Per-
sons going by the plant on the trains
have been led TO believe that the plant
Is idle, Just as the works OF the Bling
ham Consolidated and Utah Consoli-
dated are AT this time. But such is not
the case. The United states smelter IL

and tluNing material per day--doine

& Refining company at its Murray
plant--yet Il is making no smoke. APP
parently. the process installed by the
United states company for the cou-

cess In every respect.
1t Is expected that the roasting de-
partment of the United states smelter

TIDINGS FROM COLORADO.
c. H. HAYNES HAVING THE TIME
 OF HIS LIFE.
Boulder, Col, July Sth, 1908.

Boulder, Col, July Sth, 1908.
 Editor The Bee, Dear Sir: We are stopping here for few days with a cousin and visiting the great Demo- cratic convention daily which convened yesterday. We are 30 miles north of Denver, only one hours ride. This is wonderful fine town, in the front. hills in close proximity to high peaks and from which a large stream of water flows. The country here is the best 1 have ever seen in Colorado for farm purposes. They grow all crops luxuriously, hay, three crops in one season; they are cutting hay here in the warm dry sun with the snow banks in plain view on mountains, seemingly five or six miles away. We have trav- elled the mountains until tired, will have to take time later to tell you. The convention auditorium is an immense structure damned to full capacity. The city and hotels are dressed in gorgeous array. At the hotels is wild, surg ng tumultuous throng. l have talked Johnson and wear his badge and shout ed for him until l am hoarse. Large crowds corrslled us for days past, shouting for Johnson and louder and much so for Bryan on the other hand. They had me in the papers here as a Johnson cyclone worker with uncon- tradictory arguments in favor of John sons s nomination for Democratic sue cess. I go down early every day and will until some one is nominated. We have pile of snow in front of the audi toriuim n the street ten feet high and 60 long. The kids are privileged char acters to snow ball all passers by and they pour the balls into this great throng with great glee. have made the acquaintance of great many and they don't soon forget me or them.

very liberal apDfopriaion made by the State to the towns increases the inter- est and desire to have roads entered upon immediately. There is, however, safety line that we can go to and it is not wise fo- us to go on with this work hurriedly, for sometimes hurry is dangerous in more ways than l care to relate in this open communication.
 However, all towns are fully pro- tected in regard to the money that has been allotted, by reason of the fact that the statute of limitation has been removed, and no town will lose its money. All appointments that have been allotted will be continued on the account entered into between the State and the several towns. So that l ask that the towns wait patiently until we can, with good judgment and economy, reach them.
 I have begun to move rapidly among the towns of the State and full force of engineers is as busy as they can be getting out plans and making surveys. I have quite number of plans in the office ready for me to put on the grades and supply specifications. 1t is impossible for me to properly pass judgment on any plan sufficient to safe guard the town and the State unless l personally go over the work myself and see what is necessary to be done, so as to intelligently determine on the bids offered. No additional force would assist me in this work by reason of the fact that the experience have gained during the past twelve years and the privilege accorded me of covering the State more rapidly than ever before, suggests that in the interest of the fund which has been placed in my hands and the keeping down of the ex- penses of my department, delegated authority would only make the prob lem more complex than it is to-day.
 The exigencies we have to contend with now are no different than they were before, and I think 1 can safely say that in so far as the towns are concerned, they are very content to go on in safe and sane way, rather than pay extravagant prices for work care lessly done. So that if the towns will please bear in mind that we are up to the limit of the ability of contracting firms in the State to do the work, and that the allotment has one year from next October to run before another al lotment will be available, they will then see the wisdom of not moving too rapidly with no possibility of accom- plishi0g anything except to lay out the work with no reasonable hope of hav- ing if finally completed during the pres ent year.
 write this so that towns will fully understand the whole question from the standpoint of the administration of the work. No money will be covered back into the treasury and no one will be injured by carefully, judiciously and wisely continuing the policy that has grown this movement to the splen- did position it occupies to-day.
 If the towns will kindly bear with me as try to continue this policy, they will greatly oblige,
 Very respectfully yours,
 James H. Macdonald.
