The Care Of the Dining Room.

In this room the family meets for
social cheer No personal differ
ences should be permitted to mar
the harmony. Every nook and
corner should reflect cheerfulness
and cleanliness. Admit all the
sunshine possible.
In the arrangement and decora-
tion OF this room aim for harmony
Of effect in the color scheme of the
walls and floor. These are the
background for the furniture.
Hardwood floors, stained and
waxed, are easily kept clean. Soft
wood may be flied, painted and
then waxed. Carpet should not
cover the entire floor, a rug for the
centre is permissible, The furni-
ture should be simple and substan-
tial. A firm table, cane seated
chairs, or other material easily
kept clean, china closet, sidebOard
and serving table. Have a special
place for the silver and linen in
the sideboard.
On the mantle-piece a clock, a
piece Of pottery or brass. Have as
few ornaments as possible so the
housewife need not be a slave to
care of them. The crowning orna-
ment of this room should be spot
less linen, neat dishes and we'll
cooked meals. This room being in
daily use, must be cleaned every
day.
Before breakfast, air the room,
sweep the rug with carpet sweep |
er. Wipe the floor with a dust |
mop or broom covered with a soft |
cloth. Dust the table, window !,
lodges, etc. Cheese-cloth busters
are preferable, they are easily wash
ed. See that all the furniture is in
proper place. In setting the table,
cover it with a felt. This protects
the table and makes the table-cloth
look handsomer. When the house
wife does the work without assis-
tance the table may be set for break
fast in the evening. A dish Of fruit
or a plant in the center Of the table
makes it more cheerful and attrac-
tive.
A more thorough cleaning is nee
assary once a week. Clean the
chairs, take them out Of the room,
next the table. Roll the rug; beat
and brush outdoors. Look care
fully to see that there are no stains.
Cover the table with paper, place
all the ornaments on it; dust and
-hen cover with a large cloth.
Shake and tie back the curtains.
Dust curtain poles, mouldings,
loors and wainscoating. Dust
picture frames and wipe the walls
With a soft cloth tied on the broom.
Rub all woodwork with a mixture
If crude oil and turpentiue, being
,areful not TO use too much, and

Clean windows, mirrors, glass

See by the St. Louis Globe which

was also visited by the severe
storm which swept over most of
the Eastern states. 1t certainly
was a severe storm. Colorado was
also, in some portions of the state,

Boulder however was one place
not visited. The roads here are
as dry as in July and the sun
shines as brightly. We have been

kept him inside for two weeks and

In this letter 1 will give you a
brief history of the gigantic enter
prise now in curse of construc-
ton in Boulder Canyon, which,
when completed will give to this
county the most wonderful power
plant in the state and perhaps in
the United States.
1t is called the Eastern Colorado
Power Co. Its object is to harness
the natural mountain streams,
thereby furnishing power at a
reasonable cost for mining, manu-
featuring, transportation and other
uses. The work under way con-
sists of a concrete dam 1873 it. high,
720 it. at top and 129 it. thick at it's
base, having storage capacity in
it's reservoir for SOC, 000, 900 Gu. #.
This reservoir is located one and
one-half miles from the mountain
town of Nedterland, seventeen
miles above Boulder upon Middle
Boulder Canyon. The water pass
es from this immense reservoir
through twelve miles of concrete
pipe, thence continues through $500
#. of steel pipe with a fall of 1884
it. to the power house situated four
miles above Boulder on Boulder
Canyon.
This pipe at the upper end is
seven feet in diameter and at the
lower end only Al inches; is one
and three-fourth inches thick. The
water pressure at the lower end OF
the pipe is 806 pounds to the
square inch.
The power house will be equip
peb with two immense wheels of
10000 horse power each, connected
to a so cycle alternating current
generator. These transformers
will raise the pressure to 1000 90
volts.
This is a correct detail of this
large enterprise which is to be
completed by October let, 1909.
Last season they worked 300 men
nearly all summer and now they
have 450 men and 40 teams, own
ing their own teams. 1t is esti-
mated the cost will be 2 $500, 900
They are well equipped with tents
for men, boarding houses, hospi-
tai, stores and everything neces-
sary for comfort and Car.
penters are busy putting up their
permanent buildings.
The men behind this gigantic
enterprise, are those OF ample
means, such as ex-governor N.Y.
ron L. Herrich, of Ohio, he being
chairman of the executive board.

Legislative Hoppers.

In view of the fact that we have
30 many laws in this country,
thinks an intelligent Englishman,
1t is marvellous that we are not all
in prison for their violation. He
assumed, of course, that all our
laws are enforced and that there is
the same familiarity with the
statutes in this country as in
England. When it was explained
that most of our laws were like
pie-crust-made to be broken-he
was even more amazed and could
not understand, why we should
go to the trouble and expense OF
framing them. In England, as in
most foreign countries, the laws
are comparatively few, and they
are rigidly enforced. The people,
also, are familiar with the laws
and obey them for the very gooo
reason that they + laws.
Under the Legislative system
