RETURNED FROM PLEASANT
TRIP TO THE COAST

Fred A. Reineke,a head salesman In
the clothing and furnishing goods de-
partment at the Baker & Biggs Mer-
camille company, has returned from a
months trip to the Pacific coast, which
included all of the principal points of
interest from San Diego northward to
Victoria and Vancouver. He says
that Los Angeles is the most attrac-
tive city he visited, but that there is
greater building activity in San Fran
cisco than anywhere else on the west
ern coast. Business conditions, he
says, are nowhere very brisk in that
section of the country, but trade is
gradually improving. There has been
a big fight on for some time between
the lumbermen and the railroads in
the Puget Sound country and things
are pretty dull in consequence. Des-
pite its shortcomings Mr.. Reineke
likes the northwest and thinks he
would like to live out there.

COMMISSIONERS
HERE ON TUESDAY

The regular meeting of the board
of penitentiary commissioners was
held here Tuesday morning. but very
little business was transacted beyond
the allowance of the usual bills and
other routine matters.
1t was expected that the question Of
the abandonment or continuance of
the work on the state road at Stark
Vile would come up for settlement,
but it was decided to defer its de-
termination until a conference could
be held with the governor and other
officials In Denver.
The commissioners left here Tues
day afternoon for Buena Vista for the
purpose of holding their regular ses-
sion at the reformatory. They are to
convene in Denver this afternoon and
decide whether the convicts shall be
kept in Starkville any longer, or re-
turned to the penitentiary.
The appropriation made by the last
general assembly for work on the
state boulevard from the northern line
of New Mexico to the southern bound
ary of Wyoming is exhausted and nm
less more money is forthcoming the
undertaking will have to be abandoned
for this year. OF the sum set aside
by the legislature for that purpose
considerably more than half was ex-
pended in tools and other equipment,
among which was seventeen head Of
mules. There are about eighty con-
victs at present in the prison camp at
Starkville and II the necessary funds
could be procured they could be kept
at work for sixty days yet.

to other parties. The contracts cover
the building Of the road brom Pueblo
to Dodge City and from Garden City
to Scott City, Kansas. altogether Q
distance OF something like $50 miles.
The work implied In the contract for
the construction Of the roadbed and
on the purchase Of the ties is thor
oughly financed and the officers Of
the company see clearly their way for
the completion OF the great enterprise.
The action of the board Of directors
yesterday in letting the contracts for
the eastern divisions Of the road must
set at rest all speculation and doubt
in relation to the proposition.

the WASHOUT OF UNION
DITCH CRIPPLES FARllIN6

Farming in and around Florence
will be somewhat crippled for the
next two or three weeks on account
of the bursting Of Union ditch by the
food last week and the carrying away
and damaging Of the fumes.
A force of men are now At work
repairing the ditch ~ rapidly - pos
sible and while the number Of men
ut work Is not 20 large as 1t will BE
in a day or two. repairs are to -
rushed.
The creek for long stretches 10 all
ed with mud and sand and the socu-
mutation will be thrown out with .
shovel. Oak creek nume was carried
out entirely and the fumes over Sand
and Chandler creeks are more or less
damaged.
Several thousand feet Of lumber
will be needed to repair and replace
the fumes. ...
The United OIL company and the
Florence Oil company derive their
water supply from this ditch. but
luckily for them. both have supplies
Of water on hand. and when this ex-
hausts then they will resort to pump
Ing water from wells they Nave sunk
for such emergencies as the present.
Operations there will not be hampered
much, but the farmers will be the d.
rect sufferers.
Thousands OF acres Of irrigated
lands in this section depend entirely
upon the Union ditch for Its water
supply, and the estimate Of time re-
quired to make repairs Is about three
weeks. and unless there is abund-
ance OF rainfall In the meantime crops
will suffer somewhat, especially IL

Now that all preliminaries relating
to the building Of the proposed walks
have been completed it is expected
that the work will begin at once and
will be carried to completion with all
possible dispatch.
The matter of selecting a sidewalk
inspector for the new district was
brought up and the applications OF
N. F. Trayer and A. P. Brewer, which
had been filed with the city clerk for
the position, were read and on mo-
ton voted upon In accordance with
the rules of the council. ~
A canvass Of the ballots showed that
Mr.. Trayer had received majority
of the votes and he was declared to be
duly elected. His duties are to begin
as soon as his services are needed and
his compensation is to be at the rate
OF two dollars and half day.
In view Of the absence Of c. L. Nit
ton from the city. in whose office the
plans and specifications for the pro-
posed sidewalks were executed. the
matter of a civil engineer to SUPER
wise the contemplated improvements
was discussed at some length. but NO
determination of the question reached.
On motion the selection Of an engi-
neer was referred to the sidewalk
committee with power to act.
There is approximately seven miles
OF sidewalk to be laid in the new dis
trict and 1t Is computed that some
thing like 1900 barrels OF Portland
cement will be required to do the
work. -'
