MORNING SESSION
PLEASED THEM

brief meeting of the Board Of
Water Commissioners this morniue
was marked by consideration Of severarI
important items. The meeting was
held for the convenience of members
instead Of on next Monday afternoon.
In conformity to the request of the
city solicitor, the board went through
the form Of attempting to pass bills
owed b. and t. J. Dalton and the
Charles Warner COMPANY for the erec
ton of fence around the Porter
reservoir and for other work in connec
ton with it. These bills have been
held up by the city auditor on a ques
ton as to whether they should be ap-
piled to the current or the special pay
roll. The matter at PREVIOUS meet
ing had been referred TO the city So
licitor, the directors holding that the
city auditor was beyond his jurisdic-
ton in holding the bills Up. In referring
II to the city solicitor. however. the
board had not attempted to pass the
bill and this morning he requested that
the bills be held up by the board So
that he could properly pass upon them.
This was done. The bills are S72O5o,
due b. and T. ]. Dalton. and s32S14,
due the Charles Warner Company.
Commissioner Knox in this connec-
ton brought up the question of a pro-
portional payment for the erection and
maintenance of this fence by adjoin-
ing property owners. asserting that
this should have been arranged before
the commissioners had erected il. At
a previous meeting the engineer had
been authorized to attenpt to make an
agreement with the property owners
as to their bearing a portion Of the ex-
pense Of the erection OF this fence. He
was not able TO report definitely this
morning and he win further confer
with the property owners.
Mr.. Knox insisted that the property
owners should be obliged to bear part
at least of the maintenance If not nf
the cost Of erection.
A step toward the settlement Of the
bill claimed by A. T. Finch for extra
work on the Porter reservoir, which
the commissioners have been unable to
digest for some time. was taken, when
on motion Of Mr.. Knox the secretary
was authorized to request the city So
licitor to see what the lowest figure
would be for which Mr.. Finch would
be inclined to sat,le. Mr. Finch's ori-
ginal bill for extras was about $4,000.
In order to pay the Holly Pump
Company bills overdue, on motion Of
Mr.. Ford, the secretary was author
lied to communisaye with cnv Ccun-
ell to request an advance of 5000 On
the Water Department bonds author.

returned on the sale Of the bonds.
The weekly repnrt Of the engineer
reported the completion Of the pasture
at the Porter reservoir and IF the sand
place for children at Cool Spring parlS

partment was rep ,rted as $4,000 80 |

Pueblo Chief Despite Protests
of Her People.

DENVER, Cole. Dec. 27.-News has
been received here that Miss Cora Marie
Arnold of this city was married last
Monday in Santa Fe, n. NJ, to Albino
Chavarria, a full blooded Indian.
Chavarria is chief of the Santa Claras.

With q large number of his tribesmen he
was in camp in the city park in Denver
five years ago when Miss Arnold saw
After frequent visits to the camp Miss
home. She lived at the time in fash
ionable fat with her sisters and her step
father, George Wilder.
The Indians first visit to his sweet
heart was the cause of a disagreement
between her and the remaining members
of her family. Objection was made only
to the Indians race, his character being
above reproach Miss Arnold. however,
announced her intention to marry the
Indian in spite of the oil jectiOns of her
family and friends.
In April, 1905, Mr.. Wilder jumped
overheard from a steamer in the Gulf
of Mexico and was drowned. He left u
will in which he disinherited his step
daughter because of her refusal to give

marriage and one month ago they went

The pianofOrte was directly evolved
from the clavichord and the harpsi-
chord In I'LL Scipione Maffei gave
a detailed account of the first four in
struments, which were built by Bartol-

Marius in France exhibited harpsi-
chords. with hammer action, in 17l6,
and Schroter in Germany claimed to
have invented the pianoforte between
1717 and 1921. Marius at first was
generally credited with the invention,
for it was not until 1873, when Cristo-
forts instruments had become famous,
that the italian advanced his claim.
and it was in 1853 that he brought for
ward the proof of his contention.
Pianos Of that period were shaped
like the modern grand, the first square

HARTMAN AFTER HILL,
Union Pacific Man Tells Court That
Northern Pacific's Combine at Port
land Terminal Is Illegal.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 27.-In a
far-reaching answer last night to a COM
plant brought in the state circuit court,
the Northern Pacific Terminal company,
a Hartman corporation, AYERS that the
Portland & Seattle Railway company,
one of the James J. Hill lines, is doing
business illegally and therefore is with
out standing in court in seeking to con-
denim a right of way across the termi-
nal yards in Portland.
The terminal company AYERS that the
Portland 81 Seattle road is owned jointly
by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways and that the three
roads are units of one great system
that there is 10 competition between
them; that the formation of the Port
land & Seattle was to secure rights of
way at strategic points, to prevent COM
petition: that the formation of a third
company by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific is in violation of the
statutes Of Minnesota and Wisconsin I'M
der the laws Of which the two last
named roads are incorporated and finally,
the answer asserts the alleged attempt
at preventing competition is in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.

Lady ChurchilI's experience contradict
ed the general belief that an American
girl is not likely to get along happily
with foreign-born husband. She was
very happy in her married life and
through her own qualifications took a
conspicuous part in the most exclusive
London social set. She had much to
do with her husbands success and pop
ularity in politics.
After Lord Churchll's death she
married George CORVALLIS West and
continued her activity in public affairs
She had charge Of the hospital ship
Maine in the war between Great Brit
ain and the Beers, and for her work
she was made Lady of Grace of st
John of Jerusalem and a member OF
the Red Cross. In recent years she has
founded and edited the Anglo Saxon
Review.
