POWER PLANTS
BIC CONTRACTS
fo BE HANDLED BY GEORGETOWN
UNITED HYDRO ELECTRIC
COMPANY.
Unlimited CAPACITY
TWO THOUSAND MEN NOW AT
WORK CONSTRUCTING PLANT
AND LINE.

Colorado Springs.-The Central Col
orado Power Company of this city has
just closed an important contract with
the United Electric Company OF
Georgetown, which will have an impor-
tant influence on the development Of
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties.
The United Hydro-Electric Company
has been furnishing power for mining
and milling purposes in these counties,
but has reached the limit of the capac.
ity of it's plant. By the arrangement
just completed, the United company
will become the sole distributing agent
of power for the Central Colorado COM
pany in Gilpin and Clear Creek coun.
ties and will thus be able to supply
power for all sorts of purposes to prac-
tically an unlimited extent.
The Central Colorado company has
now about 1000 men at work complet-
ing its plant at Shoshone and complet-
ing the construction of the transmits
sion line from that point to Denver, and
will be able to deliver power to the
United company by Nov. 1st.
The United company will at once
construct a new sub-station at Idaho
Springs at which point it will receive
power from the Central Colorado COM
pany and distribute it from that point.
The sub-station will be of modern con-
struction, fire-proof and will be thor
oughly equipped in every way with
modern appliances.
This arrangement will insure a
large supply of power at more reasona-
BILE prices than would be possible If the
Central Colorado company should un-
dertake itself to distribute the power to
the individual mines and mills as the
investment in duplicate sub-stations
and distributing circuits will be saved.
The United Hydro-Electric CON-
pany's present plant is at Georgetown,
with branch at Idaho Springs. The
president of the company is ]. ]. Sher-
win Of Idaho Springs.
The Central Colorado Power CON-
pany is also pushing work on its Boul-
der plant and expects to have it com.
pleted early in the spring.

Shippers May Combine Freishts.

Washington.-Acco to decis-
ion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Monday shippers may COM
bine small quantities Of freight of va
rious ownership. either by arrange
ment among themselves or through the
medium of a forwarding agency, and
ship the combined lot at the rela-
lively lower rates applicable to large
shipments.
The commission decided in favor of
the small shippers upon the ground
that the ownership of property ten
dered for shipment cannot be made a
test as to the applicability as to car
riers rates. The interstate commerce
law forbids discrimination between
shippers, and the fact that one ship
per tenders a "bulked shipment" made
up of property of various ownership
consolidated before delivery to the
carrier will not justify the carrier in
making a different charge than for a
shipment of similar character ten
dered by shipper who is also the
owner.

FARMAN SAYS

GREAT FRENCH AERoNAUT AR

New York.-Greeted by committee
of enthusiastic aeronauts and scien.
lists, Henry Farman of France, who
holds the worlds official record as an
aeroplanist and who is to give the
first public exhibition of mechanical
flight in America, arrived on the Tou-
raine of the French line Sunday morn
ing.
Mr.. Farman, with committee from
the Aero club, drove to Brighton Beach
race track, where the flying eXhibi'
tions will begin on August 1st. After
going over the ground he said, with a
significant smile, This looks like a
pretty good place to practice and may
be l shall be able to do some things

That the future of aeroplane as a
safe means of conveyance is practical
| ly assured, was the confident declara-
tion made by Mr.. Farman. After two
weeks in this city it is expected that
Farman will make flights in Philadel,
phia, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg and
st. Louis.
Mr.. Farman, spoke freely of his
plans and work, and when asked what
he contemplated attempting next,
said: ITO do new things. We are
all the time moving like birds. You can
not explain these minute details for
they are of such an infinite variety.
We are always changing more or less.
Every day brings something new right
along. De Lagrange uses exactly the
same machine as l do"
HAS the aeroplane future so far
as practicability is concerned?" he
was asked
YES" he replied, "it will have a fu-
ture to very great extent. l think
the aeroplane will be safer than the
automobile or other methods of con-
veyance. 1t will be so easy and so
quick. My greatest pause in flight has
been ten seconds, starting on an as
cending wind. The birds in their
flight have a special instinct which we
will never have, but We can improve
our methods by using some of the
methods of the bird.
Il fly generally fifteen feet above
the ground. I can fly higher, but have
never made a flight as high as your
skyscrapers, as you call them, but l
hope to some day. l think the time is
not far distant when we shall see
the aeroplane standing motionless in
the air. In time an automatic balance
will also be secured. The aeroplane
is now much more of question than
Is the balloon"
Mr.. Farman brings with him two
machines.

OLD FORT CRAWFORD
SCENE OF THE FIRST LOVE OF
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Ancient Spot Is Located on Banks of
Mississippi River in Wisconsin,
Romantic courtship with
Daughter of Col. TAYLOR,

McGregor, Ia.-Old Fort Crawford,
scene of many a tale of manliness and
chivalry, of love and war, where JEFF
ferson Davis had his early romance, is
a picturesque spot. The fort is on the
banks of the Mississippi river and is
now part of the ancient town of
Prairie du Chen, the Oldest city in
Wisconsin, founded by French Jesuits,
who came down from Canada to Green
Bay, down the Wisconsin into the Mis-
sissippi in 1869.
The fort is a site of prominence on a
Knoll overlooking the mouth of the
Wisconsin and large stretch of the
greater river into which it flows.
Jefferson Davis began his military
career here directly after graduation
at West Point and receiving the usual
brevet of second lieutenant. He was
at st. Louis for little time and was
then transferred. Here he found Col.
Zachary Taylor in command.
Here Jefferson Davis met the three
daughters and the son of his command
ing officer; and here the handsome
young soldier fell in love with Sarah
Taylor. Picnics planned to Picture
rock and what is now known as Nc
Gregor heights, together with romantic
rambles and sails unknown to the good
colonel and his wife, brought about the
natural order of experience. Gentle
Sarah Taylor and Lieut.. jefferson Da-

The Dousmans and Capt McRee and

STRuCTION OF LINE SOUTH
Or TRINIDAD.
TRANSFER OF FUNDS
PORTION OF PRISON FUND WILL
BE USED TO SUPPORT
LABoRERS.

Denver.,-With the view OF permit
| ting what they consider a humanita
rian work to proceed with as little
hindranco as possible, Acting Governor
Harper and AttorneyGeneral Dickson
have evolved plan by which the nine
| ty convicts who have been employed
on the state road now under construc
| ton from the New Mexico line to Trim
idad, will continue work for some time,
probably until the meeting of the next
Legislature.
| For the purpose of beginning the
construction of the Colorado portion
of the national highway, which is to
run from the Yellowstone park through
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico
| to Galveston, the last Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000. Convicts were to
be employed in the actual work, the
money to be used for the expenses of
securing grading outfits and maintain
ing the convict camp, with the neces-
| sary guards.
1t required $1,000 of the money to
/ initiate the work. With the remainder
the convicts have constructed three
miles of the road, through a very
rough portion of the line. They are
yet twelve miles from Trinidad.
So successful has been the employ
ment of convict labor that the Trini-
dad citizens, together with the author
tiles of the different counties through
which the road is to run, last week Pc
| titioned Acting Governor Harper to
issue emergency warrants to the
amount of $4,000, which would allow
the road to be completed to Trinidad
| and keep the convicts at work.
The governor and the attorney-gen-
eral took the matter under conSidera
ton. They reached decision Mon
| day that there was no authority by
which they could issue the warrants,
as an emergency did not exist within
the meaning of the law. AS they were
desirous of taking some action from a
humanitarian standpoint, 1t was de-
cided that by a transfer Of funds from
the regular maintenance appropria-
tion of the prison to the road fund,
the work could be continued for some
months.
Under the plan adopted for the con-
struction of the road, every item Of
expense has been met out of the ap-
preparation of $4,000. The conclusion
HAS Deeu TedCueu tnat tne pTlSOneTS
are no less the legitimate objects Of
prison expense in the road camp than
they would be if confined in their cells
at Canon City. That is, that they
should be maintained out OF the main
tenance fund of the prison, and not
out of the road appropriation.
The road fund will now be reim-
bursed from the prison fund to the
extent of more than $4,000, and from
now on the prisoners will be kept by
Warden Cleghorn the same as though
they were under his direct supervision.
This will give enough money to meet
the other expenses of constructing the
road for some time.
When the next Legislature meets,
efforts will be made to secure another
and larger appropriation for the
work.
