Auto Tires Hurt Streets

There is a generally prevalent idea
that the rubber tires of automobiles
are not damaging to the surface of
the streets, but Street Commissioner
Seaman knows better. Thursday
he stated that the increase in
the number of autos in the city was
hurting the streets more than any
other one thing
THE auto tires are much more
wearing on the streets than the steel
wagon tires" said Mr.. Seaman.
There is sort of suction created
by the rubber which literally tears
the dirt off the street and makes
more dust and softer surface for
inclement weather"
Mr.. Seaman does not believe that
the paving of the central avenues is
matter for immediate considera-
tion and says several things must
happen before this Is done.
1--WE will have to wait until the
railroads settle themselves and about
the next thing will be movement
to have all telephone. telegraph and
electrical wires placed underground.
This will be done before the streets
are paved"

ing of culverts to carry { IF food wat

JAPS MIX WITH
KNIVES==ONE
IS HURT

A fight in grading camp near
Gill between two Japs on Tuesday
resulted in the one who was the
least injured bringing the other to
Greeley for medical treatment. 1t
is alleged that knives We're freely
used, and both Japs were cut about
the head and face. The one who
was taken to the hospital had been
stabbed in the back, it is alleged.
The two came in this morning on
the southbound passenger and the
less battered one of the pair was
very soiicitous concerning the COM
fort OF his fellow countryman and
presumable enemy.
DIR. WoOdcock refused to state
how badly the victim at the hospital
was injured or what his present con-
dition is. At noon today no arrests
had been made.

in two weeks time. The road has
secured the following land: Three
acres, J. W. Cline; option on five
acres Conrad Brubaker; three acres
J. A. Beattie; ten acres J. M. Nc
Cutcheon; thirty acres John T. John

Of thia> >sRa .is located on the west ives,
| The ten acres secured from Martin
| is on the south side of the Fort Col
Inns branch line On the east side
the Union Pacific owns fifty acres
On both sides of the Julcsburg branch
and it is apparent that it desires the
location for shops surrounding the
convergence of it's lines in LaSalle.
| Some of the property owners are
holding out for higher prices and
condemnation suits have been threat
ened against these. Dooling Broth
ers, representing fitzpatrick Broth
ers, the head contractors of the un-
| ion Pacific started work Friday
/, morning with an outfit of about forty
teams and 100 men. The material
| for the depot that was to have been
erected at Eaton was transferred TO
..aSalle Thursday and more materlal
sent in for the erection of hand
some depot at once. The old depot
will be moved about 500 feet so ltf-
ward to the east of the coal chutes.
| The ground is now being leveled on
for the new work.
These contractors have orders to
complete their work within three
weeks time. In addition to the de-
pot structure, the contracting gang
has orders to straighten $500 feel
of track on the Julesburg branch
bringing the line directly into the
new depot from the eastward aha
giving opportunity TO leave the town
directly westward. This will take
the long bend out of this line.
The Union Pacific right OF way

ness men of LaSaIle into their CON

Following out their intention an
nounced some time ago to break
away from the Pullman Car COM
pany, the Union Pacific is believed
to be planning to erect big car shops
at LaSalle for the manufacture OF
pressed steel Pullman cars and this
intention is borne out by the TACT
that within the past week the COM
pany has purchased los acres OF
land in that town. This confirms
the story published exclusively in
the Tribune last week.
1t has been known for some time
that traffic agreements existed be-
tween the Union Pacific and the c.
NJ. Est. p. The logical outcome OF
the intention to break away from
the Pullman company is found IN
the preparations to build shops at
l.aSalle The big coal fields OF the
Union Pacific in Colorado are cent
cred about Dacona, Frederick, Erie
and Firestone. The new line from
Denver northward to Fort Collins
passes directly through these places
and will furnish direct line ol
| coal supply to the new shops. Ihe
| iron supply in southern Colorado is
easily accessible and 1t is believed
that the Union Pacific is planning
to secure it's steel from the furnaces
at Pueblo.
LaSalle is ideally located for such
shops. 1t is practically railroad
center already and it's location is the
best possible for the distribution OF
cars. LaSalle has the Denver tc
| Cheyenne line of the U. p, the La
Sale road to Fort Collins and Lara
mie- ie-Northwestern, the old line com
| ing through Fort Collins, the jules
burg main line east. the Burlington
and the Denver. Laramie 4 North,
western close by. 1t is likely tha'
the Union Pacific will put the
through line east and west through
LaSalle and work has already beer
started on the Strengthening ant
improving of the Julesburg brancf
line. The U. P. is already buying uI
rights of way northwest of Fort COZ
iins.
There is a hurry-up order enter,hs
into the contemplated work at La
Sale. In buying and securing op
tions on property the Union Paciil'
has given property owners notlce
that the land must be vacated with

was the sacrifice of little Terry
~ Smith, who was drowned in d
deep pond near Pasadena avenue and
Avenue g. The treacherous mud hole
should not have been there, but litiga-
ton has prevented the draining of the
water. The quarreling parties would
rather go to law, and spend money and
waste time on court proceedings, than
spend the amount of money that would
have been necessary for the removal OF
this death trap from a residential dis
trict. The city endeavored to drain
the water through a culvert, but own
ers of property across which bitches
would have to be dug to allow the wa
ter to be drained into the Arroyo Seco
objected, and enjoined the city from
performing the work; and since the
Injunction was granted the water has
stood there, becoming daily deeper
waiting to drown poor little Terry
Smith. In a case like that we should
think common sense would suggest the
water should have been drained first
and then the question of responsibility
for the necessary payment settled. If
there are any other bottomless mud
holes, deep ponds and death traps any
where, they should be attended to and
made safe without delay. One disgrace
like the preventable and unnecessary
death of Terry Smith is enough in the
history of any city.

LAND GRABBING

ny the anti-land grab bill the
X land reserves will be protected
~ from spectators. School lands
will be sold at public auction and other
safeguards of publicity will be thrown
about land transactions. 1t is clearly
contrary to the spirit and intention of
such transactions that they should be
manipulated for speculative purposes.
AS social needs become more and more
urgent, and as the population is in.
creased, it becomes more and more i'm
portant that all Of the rights Of the
public should be safeguarded.
There is opposition to the bill. Grove
johnson Of Sacramento is leading that
opposition. The success of the measure
would be a deathblow to an industry
that has filled many pockets and con-
tributed greatly to the worldly success
of many wealthy citizens. 1t would be
an end to land grabbing and a rebuse
of that interference between the people
of the United States and the rights of
the people of the United States which,
exhibited in many departments of activ-
ity besides land dealing. has been the
cause of much trouble and discomfort.
Every measure which is clearly for the
good of the people should receive en-
thusiastlc popular support.

INFAMOUS BILL

HROVE L. JOHNSON'S change of
eT venue bill is as bold and as bare
VI faced an attempt to defeat the
ends of justice as ever was made by
or for any plotters or schemers since
first the lawless element in society be-
gan to plot and scheme against the
lawabiding.
FrancisSJ. Heney points out that II
the infamous johnson measure should
become a law every man against whom
indictments have been found will be
able to get his case transferred to a
court presided over by a friendly judge
and the efficiency of the graft prosecu-
ton will be impaired.
A measure of this kind is obviously
drawn in the aid of grafters and not
drawn in the aid of the people or in
the interests of justice. AS Mr. Heney
declares the Johnson bill will seri-
ously embarrass the San Francisco
graft prosecutions and all similar pros
ecutions in this state. 1t is an infa-
nous plan to defeat justice and pre-
vent the people of California from get
ting d square deal.
