~1AC SoSAiloSCU COSL VI lle PAVING
authorized by the paving committee
of the city council at it's meeting We'd
nesday afternoon is s450,O00, to be laid
during the present year. Last year
nearly $405,000 was expended for paw
ing purposes. Every ward in the city,
except the seventh, twelfth and thir-
tecnth, come in for share of the
paving to be done. Aside from agree
ing upon paving schedule, the only
action taken by the committee was the
awarding of the contract for $4,000
yards of paving with creosoted blocks
to the Kettle River Quarries company
as the lower of the two bids on the
work. The bid of the Kettle River
company was s1,39 per square yard for
the standard wood creosote block, be-
ing cents per yard under the corre-
spending bid of the other firm. While
the amount of paving on which the
bids were based reached only $4,000
yards, the city contemplatcs laying up
wards of 100000 yards of that kind this
year, meaning a saving of $4,000 over
the cost of the same amount of work
last year.
at the morning service last Sunday
Rev. j. M. Cleary explained to his peo.
pic at st. Charles church, 18th av. and
4th st. s., the new marriage laws which
have just been promulgated, and which
go into effect Easter Sunday. He said
that the new laws were not peculiar
to America, but had existed in some of
the old countries since the sixteenth
century. Their object was to secure
due reverence for the marriage cerc-
mony, and to safeguard people against
the effects Of hasty or foolish mar
riages. That marriage Of a Catholic
be valid in the eyes of the Church,
it will in future be necessary that it be
solelnnized before his duly appointed
pastor and in the presence of two wit
nesses. Marriage" continued Father
Cleary, "is perhaps the most important
event in the life of man and woman
Upon its success or failure depends
their future happiness or misery, and
it is. therefore, important that evcry
element of haste or foolishness be
eliminated from it. To secure for mar
riage due reverence and to protect peo-
pie against their own follv is the aim
of the new laws. not to impose un-
necessary burdens on the members of
the Church. and therefore it bchooveth
Catholics to receive them in that
spirit"

NO DAMAGE BY'HIGH WATER
Flood Went Down as Rapidly As II
Came Up

The Poudre river was running
bank full at this point Thursday
afternoon as result of the cloud
burst near Livermore on the North
fork Of the river Wednesday after
noon. but so far as has been learn
ed no damage was done this side of
Fort Collins.
The evening of the storm the tele-
phone company notified all of the
ditch companies that big flood was
coming down the river, and also
notified the residents of the bottoms
all the way up the river. People
were therefore prepared to take to
higher ground at the first indication
of danger.
Nobody had to move, however. as
the bitches took enough of the
Hood water to keep the river within
bounds BY o'clock Thursday
evening the water was receding. and
an danger of damaging flood had
disappeared, unless more rain in the
foothills shall again bring the river
up.

WILL TAKE PLACE OF LUMBER
Greeley May Soon See Some Model
Cement Homes.

Greeley is up-to-date in every
thing and, without a doubt. In the
near future will have some artistic
homes built entirely OF concrete.
A magnificent portforlio OF de-
signs for concrete houses OF moder-
ate cost has recently been published
by the Colorado Portland Cement Co,
J. l.. Bartlett received a copy last
week and all architects of the town
are to be supplied.
An invitation was sent out by the
Association of American Portland
Cement men to architects all over
the country to submit cometitive
designs, and this book contains the
twenty-five prize winners OF the zoo
which were submitted. The awards
were made on the three points, ex-
cellence in artistic quality. conven-
ience OF floor arrangement and econ
ony of construction.
The houses range in cost from
$4,000 to $4,000, are built entirely
of concrete, with the exception of
floors, roof and woodwork. hence
they are almost fire-proof. That
is certainly a blessing to future home
builders.

KANSAS FARMERS STRIKE sNAG

wouldn't it be just fierce II some

ors is made UP OF NJ. S. Richeson.

The headgate 81 the canal. which
is to be known as the Riverside
Canal, is located on the north bank
of the South Platte river. The length
is something over 175 miles and 1t
is estimated that $4,000 acres of land
in the two counties will be irrigated
by this latest OF the big bitches.
The ditch between the headgate and
the Riverside Reservoir is 35 feet
wide; when 1t leaves the reservoir
it has a width of "a feet. Over the
course between the reservoir and the

OTHER CITIES DRINKING MUD

Beauty Of New Water System Fully
Demonstrated
There is q good chance now to
compare the Greeley water supply
with the supplies of other cities
around the Horn. While the Greeley
water has been clear as crystal the
past few days. the cities OF Fort
Collins, Loveland and LonRmont. &C
cording to reports coming from there
by diainterested persons, have been
drinking water that was SO muddy
and yellow that 1t was hardly fit
for use.
of the past week have washed big
quantities OF silt and other dirt into
the streams. and this has found its
way into the water mains OF the var
ious cities While under ordinary
conditions the cities mentioned have
good water supplies, the filtration
plants have been found inadequate
to properly clarity the water under
conditions like the present.
The Greeley filtration plant Is con-
structed up entirely different lines
from the others. The big settling
basin will hold 80 days supply,
and it Is not necessary to run water
in there when the river Is muddy.
This alone would make fairly good
water supply, but with the filtering
of the water after 1t comes from the
settling basin, 1t assures at all times
clear water.

Dirt according to the ruling, VIII
not hereafter be permitted by the
Kansas officials to go In as part
of the net weight OF potatoes. Grow,
Iers and shippers who are too liberal
about shoveling in dirt are very apt
10 get themselves in serious trouole
by continuing this old practice
which has doubtless proved proiit-
able to them.
This step on the part OF the state
of Kansas is commended by whole
sale potato jobbers and consumers
and it is hoped that the law Will De
rigidly enforced in Kansas and that
steps will also be taken In other
states to provide against the opera
tions OF this particular variety OF
crookedness.
1.-The matter was brought TO the
attention of the Kansas officials by
a grocer who bought sacks from a
commission firm. They weighed go
mounds. In the sacks there was
S5 mounds of earth. showing that the
potatoes had not been cleaned be-
fore sacking. The grocer complain
ed to the pure food department ana
wanted the commission men pros
ecuted, but the attorney general has
ruled that the commission man can
not be arrested, but the farmer can
because he was adulterating his po-
tatoes.
AN escort is being made to prevent
the sale of earth for potatoes by
warning the farmers that they must
be careful to clean the potatoes thor
oughly before sacking them"
