Sensation at Banquet

Dinans little sensation was sprung
on Wednesday night at a banquet in a
downtown French restaurant. Dinan
was the bright particular pet police
department child of Ruef and Schmitz
and the Hilberts. When he was made
chief of police he declared that it was
his purpose to be union labor CHIEF
and he passed up all the interests that
had not pulled for MIN. He has been
generally credited with unusually close
lines of information tapping the union
labor party camp and when his toast,
the next chief" directed at Ed Wren,
was loudly cheered by Sheriff elect Tom
Finn and other union labor party dig
nitaries, it was accepted as the uncov-
ering of the big secret.
The members Of the department. are
not SO strongly impressed with the
Wren idea now, as they were a few
hours after it was sprung by Dinan. 1t
is generally known that a prominent
liquor firm, with strong banking con-
nections, is out for Martin now, as It
was when Dinan landed. and again
when Cook was chosen by Taylor's
commissioners.

tive Weiser has been apportioned
S2250 to he used in building bridges
in Mesa county. The house. it is

from which to make appropriations
for bridges and roads. This amount
was apportioned between the various
representatives asking for bridge or
road appropriations and Mr. Weiser
secured the above named amount TO

Ii is understood that senator De-
Long, in the apportionment of the

size.
Senator DeLong and Representa-
tive Weiser have bills before the leg
islature asking for good-sized npprop-

Monday the directors of the I'm
compahgre Valley Water Users as
sociation held meeting in Montrose
to decide on the form of contract to
be used in the construction of the
West canal. This is the principal
canal which will irrigate the west
side of the Uncompahgre valley be-
tween Montrose and Delta, and will
cost approximately 100000. The
board decided that work commences
as soon after April / as the contracts
can be submitted. A large number
of homesteaders will do part of the
work of construction, taking certi-
ficates of indebtedness for their pay,
which will go toward paying for
water rights after water is turned on
their land.
