which is to render available as
basis for additional circulation any
securities, including commercial
paper by a national banking asso-
ciation.''
All circulation not based on
United States bonds is to be taxed
5 per cent the first month, and
per cent additional until it reaches
10 per cent.
A 10 per cent tax has proven
prohibitive against the issuance Of
circulation by state banks and
would be too heavy burden to
permit national bank currency to
remain outstanding. The tax was
made heavy in order to drive the
emergency currency out of circu-
lation as long as the need for it
had passed.
If an emergency should rise,
treasury officials are Of the opin-
ion that instead Of issuing highly
taxed emergency currency, they
would again resort to the issuance
of cleaning house certificates,
which would cost them nothing.
Over $1O0, 100000 in these certif-
Gates was issued last fall.

Reclamation engineers have been
examining it recently and claim
that there is an unlimited amount
of fine sandstone there.
Capt. Schultz, who has charge
of the river Improvement work
for the Government and Chief
Engineer Hoagland of the Great
Northern, will be here about July
first to examine the banks where
the improvements are to be made.
They will also look over the con-
tract sent here by the govern

factory work will be started just
as soon as the June floods are
over.
With the $40, 900 from the gov
ernment and freight work to an
equal amount given by the rail
road the banks can be greatly i'm

work done the government will
want to complete it and it is

For the past two months men,
bers of the Commercial club and
Engineer H. A. Storrs of the Rec
lamation service have been busy
endeavoring to get the Govern
ment and the Great Northern rail-
road to improve the banks of the
river below the city. The propo-
sition was taken up by the Com
mercial club a couple of months
ago and letters were written to G.
n. officials asking them what they
would do. They stated that they
were willing to assist in the work
and would do freight hauling, etc,
equal to the amount of money put
into the work by the government.
The question of where to get the
rock was then taken up and it was
suggested that the government
might open up the stone quarry
west of Trenton for this work.
Chief Engineer Storrs took this
matter up with the Department of
the Interior and few days ago he
received word that the quarry
would be opened for the purpose
of improving the river banks
providing the Great Nsrtaal.4
would do the freight work. Mr..
Storrs received contract from
the government for the G. N. to
sign up. This calls for the G. n.
to build a spur into the stone
quarry and another one along the
river bank. The railroad is to de-
liver all rock free of charge. The
stone quarry in question is located
four and half miles west of
Trenton and about 5000 feet from
the main line of the G. N. The

COUNCIL WILL
NOW GO AHEAD
Mountain Water System Again Under Consideration Busy
Session Last Night What Was Done

Last night at the regular meeting
of the city council a motion pre-
vailed by the unanimous vote of the
seven aldermen present that the city
attorney and special counsel, Messrs.
Carnahan and Logan, be instructed
to proceed with the condemnation
proceedings for Hannah creek wat
er, persuant to the terms of the con-
tract between the attorneys and the
city, and that the finance committee
of the city council be authorized to
negotiate the sale of sufficient bonds
TO acquire the NECESSARY supply of
Hannah creek mountain water.
The above was the most important
action taken at the council meeting
action that means much for the
welfare of the city; action that Will
be approved and endorsed by the
great majority OF the people of Grand
Junction. who have long realized the
nted of a better supply of water for
the domestic uses OF Grand juno
tion. Only a small band of perpet-
ual knockers, headed by the. Morn
ing yellow, take exception to the
action.
The motion, which means that. the
city council viii again take up the
mountain water proposition, was Of
it was voted upon, Mayor Wentworth
extended an invitation to any citi-
zens present who desired to address
the council, TO do so.
I. n. Bunting addressed the coun-
ell at some length. He reviewed the
action in the matter taken by the
previous council over which he pre-
sided as mayor He declared that
it is strictly. within the province of
the present council to at this time
take up the proposition and give the
city mountain water system. The
council can take such action without
calling another special election. He
referred TO the poor condition of the
present water supply, and dwelt up
on the fact that when the Gunnison
tunnel is completed within the next
year or two the water supply fur
nished the city from the Gunnison
river VIII be far more undesirable
than it is at this time. He declared
that he believed that 95 per cent OF
the citizens of Grand Junction want
ed mountain water in spite of the
opposition made by a few knockers
and few people, who, for political
reasons, desired to prevent this coun-
Gil from building mountain water
systtm Mr. Bunting touched upon
other phases OIL the queSsion anu
urged the council TO take action.
e. M. Slocomb followed Mr.. Bunt-
ing He stated that he had talked
TO over so people who had voted
against the mountain water bond is
sue last fall who were now sorry
that they did So and were now anx-
ious for the council to proceed with
the work of securing a mountain
water system Mr.. Slocomb de-
clared that nearly all of the people
he had talked to were satisfied that
Hannah creek is the one desirable
source from which to get the noun
tain water supply. He earnestly
urged immediate action.

permission to tap the water main on

nit to move wooden building, TO

 As he walked unsteadily along Hugh drank more than once from the flask to deaden the superstitious dread of the place which was stealing over him On the crest of the ridge he skirted the sanitarium grounds and at length gained the road that twisted down to. ward the lights of the town. In the dubious moonlight he mistook the. mar. row trail to the Knob for the lower path to the cabin. As he turned into 1t the report of rife came faintly from the gulch below.
 He quickcned his steps and stumbled all at once into the little clearing that held the new made grave and Jesslca's statue. The sight terrified his intoxi, cated imagination. His hair rose.

 A dog sprang up with a growl, and in the light of the fire that burned on the hearth man sitting at the rough hewn table lifted haggard face from his arms. and each recognized the other.
 The ghost was gone now before fire light and human presence, and Hugh. with a loud laugh of tipsy incredulity. stood staring at the man before him.
