W. H. La Grange, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. and
County Surveyor Chas. L. Milton,
took part in the conference of officials
in Colorado Springes on Friday in
relation to the construction Of the
proposed Colorado Springs-Canon

provisions of the law setting aside

county surveyors of the two counties
was authorized. AS at present consti-
tuted the board consists of Commits
sioners La Grange and Banta, Sur
veyors Milton and Woodside and the
State Engineer, Comstock, all of
whom were in attendance at Fridays
conference.
After a discussion of all the phases
Of the proposition it was decided to
proceed with the enterprise with as
little delay as possible and to that
end a requisition was made upon
Warden lyman of the penitentiary for
the convicts and equipment at the
state road making camp in Las AMI
mas. county. In view Of the fact that
there is no money available for the
continuance OF the work in Las An
imas county the warden will be able
to comply with the requsition imme-
.diately and camp will be established
for the prisoners at Red hill, on the
eastern rim of Dead Mans canon. six
teen miles this side of Colorado
Springs, tomorrow or Wednesday.
The tools and material in posses
sion Of the prison road making are
very valuable and 1t is extremely for
tunate that they can be used for the
building Of the Colorado Springs
Canon City highway, otherwise most
Of the money appropriated by the leg
islature for the enterprise would have
to be spent for equipment. The annual
set aside by the General Assembly
for the work was $13.100, but It is
stated by Auditor Kenehan that only
$1,000 is now available for that pur-
pose. 1t is computed that the con-
templated road will cost something
like $4,000 or 10000. with prison la

TARIFF COMMISSION APPOINTED
BY TAFT UNDER new LAW
Three Members Will Assist the Chief
Executive, Assisted by Experts
If Necessary

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 13.-Presi-
dent Taft today appointed the new
tariff commission or board which Is
to assist him in the execution Of
the new tariff law with especial ref
erence to applying the maximum and
minimum clauses to nations which
ere unfriendly and friendly in their
tariff relations with the United States.
The new board consists of three
members, Prof. Henry C.. Emery of
Yale, chairman; James B. Reynolds
Of Massachusetts,, now assistant Sec
retary Of the treasury and Alvin H,
Sanders OF Chicago. at present editor
and proprietor OF the Breeders Ga
zette.
In announcing the selection Of this
new board. authorized by the Payne
tariff bill, the following statement
was given out at the executives ON
ces last night:
THE president and the secretary
of the treasury have agreed upon the
plan that these gentlemen are to con-
stitute the board and are to be given
authority to employ such special ex-
perts az may be needed to investi-
the foreign and domestic tariff"
Mr.. Taft had left entirely in the
hands OF Secretary McveaSh the Sc
lection of the new commission and
today approved the men recommended
BY the secretary. 1t has been q ques-
ton until today as to whether thu
new board should consist of three
or five members, but It was finally
agreed, however, that the smaller
number assisted By such experts q

CONvICTs WORK ON
ROsELAWN ROAD

The gang of state convicts secured
by Pueblo county to work on roads
began yesterday morning on Rose
lawn boulevard. The gang will be
kept on that road until 1t is put in the
best Of condition.
The convicts are placed on their
honor not to attempt escape. They are
watched in the daytime by guards
who are unarmed and it would be an
easy matter for any OF the men to
leave whenever they felt so disposed.
At night, the guards are armed.
1t has been the experience Of the
prison officials that the men are so
desirous to work outside prison walls,
that they are not going to take any
desperate chances for freedom. Sew
eral Of them have run away, but al
most invariably they are recaptured
and that ends their life In the road
camps.
The camp life is pleasant outside
the work every day, and this most OF
the prisoners relish. The men are
treated as workmen and not as con-
victs, and the result is that they work
hard and intelligently.
The Pueblo county commissioners
expect some good work from tie
gang. The camp has been made a.
pleasant a place as possible and has
been pronounced ideal by the prison
ofncials-Pueblo Chieftain.

game all the way through not
withstanding good many errors

Take chance.
That's what wins many a ball
game.
The only time to play 1t safe is
when in the lead, with things
breaking right.
/ know this is radical talk
Usually the team in the lead is
the team that takes the chances,
while the fellow tagging along is
content to wait for a lucky break
or fortunate hit to start things.
John McGraw tells his players
to make them throw the ball.
And by making them throw the
Giants get an extra base now and
then, which may mean a run and
win a game.
The team that takes chances is
the team that is up and doing all
of the time. Base ball may be
only a guessing match between
pitcher and batter, and then again
1t may be a gamble between field
er and base runner.
If Tom Blank would try for
second on every hit into right or
left or center, he would probably
be credited with more two-base
hits than he is. Many times only
a perfect throw to second would
get him, and when fielder is
hurried he isn't apt to make per-
feet throws every time he wings
the ball toward the diamond.
If base runners would try to
pilfer third oftener they would be
credited with more stolen bases.
There is a difference between
taking risk and making fool
play. The man who takes risks
and gets by is the man who weighs
the chances for and against him,
and selling opportunity when it
heads his way, does the unexpect-
ed. The very suddenness and
boldness of some plays make them
great.
And don't forget that men
forced to throw the ball around
a lot are apt to make a poor
heave at any time, which means
an extra base or two and possibly
the difference between the win
ming and losing of game.

plays and errors.
Sometimes when I am in the
bleachers little sight would be
handy. 1t is when the bat cracks
viciously and I feel start of the
spectators and hear a cry of Look
out!' from dozen spectators.
Why should I dodge? / am as
likely to dodge wrong as right. So

and wonder what it would feel

and legs, but my head and stom-
ach am particular about. have
been hit several times. Once a
wild throw struck me in the fore
arm, but this saved the home team
the game, as the bases were full,
and the ball rebounded toward
the baseman. l had no intention
of interfering, but gave my arm
forward motion when the ball
struck it.

SEES" BALL GAMES;

Blind from boyhood, but able
to follow ball game and enjoy it
that is the experience of Clar-
ence Hawkes. of Hadley, Mass,

list.
When Hawkes. goes to game
he is accompanied by a friend.
How he enjoys game is told by
Hawkes.. He says:
For one blind to say he has

like a contradiction, yet no one
sees more of the game than I.
From the moment the umpire
