Careless Man.

How careless people are! We saw
a man in a store this morning buying
a pair of suspenders, who said he haa
been trying to think of them Tor TWO
years; he had needed pair for two
years, but always forgot, when down
town, to buy them. Is 1t any WONDER
that this sort of a creature OCCASION
ally forgets to kiss his wife before
leaving the house in the morning.

A delegation from Timnath, con-

the city council Tor the privilege of
using our city water upon the meter
plan, the same as prevailing at Wind
sor Mr.. Miller, who was formerly
q Greeley boy and graduate of
the Normal, was enthusiastic over
the proposition and stated that some
two hundred families would take
water, twenty-five of whom were
ready to connect at once. 1t was
also stated that the money was now
ON hand to extend the pipe line and
water mAips In the village. and tina

IN dsecure the obligation to Greeley
This would be necessary, as the vii
lage is not incorporated. The coun
ell was willing to grant the request
but needs a little further time tt
perfect arrangements, so the matter
was referred to the waterworks com
mittee.
New fire hydrants will be ordered
to replace those that leak and have
been frozen several times during the
winter. The constant use of these
by the sprinkling wagon was blamed
for much of the damage and here
after the sprinkler will be relegated
to certain hydrants and a device con
structed to obviate the sloppy condl-
tion OF the street at the points where
the wagons are filled.
The question of raising the salary
of city officers was approached and
the city marshal submitted a report
showing the salaries in force in nu-
merous Colorado towns the same size
as Greeley. The salaries In all were
much larger than those paid in Gree
lev. The matter will be brought up
for final consideration at the next
meeting.

more work to the unemployed this

PRECIPITATION
In MOUNTAINS
LAST GOVERNMENT BUla.ErIN
Greatest Snowfall In the Hills for
Ten Years.

The latest bulletin upon precipi-
tation In the mountains has Just been
issued by the government and will
be of interest to all irrigationists in
this section. In the South Platte
watershed the snowfall has been the
largest in ten years and there is lit
tie danger Of reservoirs or bitches
being empty this season. The jan
uary report Is as follows:
January, ordinarily q month of
preponderance of fair weather and
bright sunshine. was characterized by
unusully stormy conditions and a
snowfall much above the average in
the mountain region. In a number
of localities snow fell on 15 days
or more, and, being attended or fol-
lowed by high winds, much of the
fall above timber line or in other
wind-swept places has been carried
into sheltered spots, filing the ra-
vines or gulches, or piled up in large
drifts. The early falls of snow are
hard packed, but the later falls,
except where exposed to the wind.
are still comparatively loosely pack
ed. The amount Of snow that has
fallen thus far alone insures a good
and late flow in all the streams ris-
ing on the slopes of the Continental
Divide or its spurs.
The following extracts from the
reports show the prevailing condi,
tions for the watershed supplying
this locality.

 ERUPTS LAVA

Paylof volcano, near Sand Point, which has been at rest for some time, suddenly became active on the 2Oth of this month, is the report brought from the Westward on the steamer Dora.
 During the entire day, while the Dora sailed eastward in sight of the peak there was not sign of yapor or smoke, but in the evening some one of the passengers shouted, Look at the yolcano!" Everyone rushed on deck and gazed at the mountain, but there was nothing to be seen. Don't be discouraged, just look, and the words were scarcely spoken when a faint glow appeared over the crater. Presently a faint, starlike light ap- peared, which rapidly increased in size until a huge, red ball of fire hung over the mountain. For several min utes it remained, then slowly receded until nothing but the ruddy glow re- mained, and in few minutes more even this had disappeared.
 
 But as the eyes became accustomed to the darkness an entirely new fea- ture appeared upon the vision, Down the side of the mountain crept a dull luminous streak, and out of the breathless silence on deck someone whispered Lava" and during more than half the night, while the noun tain remained in view, the passengers. remained to watch the glorious spec tacle of the ebbing and flowing of that fiery mass.-Valdez Prospector.

 The custom of having Christmas tree for every boy and girl in Skag- way was inaugurated early in the life of Camp skagway and has since then been one of the land marks that stamp the order as one that does not exist for the benefit of its members only but which strives to make life in this northland more cheerful and happy.
 This custom has been adopted by almost every Camp in the jurisdiction and is hailed with delight by the little ones, who look forward to the "A. B. Christmas tree" as THE event of the year.
