To TAKE UP BIDS
FOR NEW PUMPS

Tomorrow afternoon the board
of public works will take up for
consideration the bids submitted
for the new pumps to be added to
the equipment of the up-river
pumping station, under the general
order for water extensions issued
by the council, and after plans pre-.
pared by the former water com
missioner A. Reuterdahl, and ap'
proved by Professor Burr.
The bids received show that the
cost of the pumps will range from
$4,000 to $4,000. Water Commits
sioner Weymouth said today that
the board of public works has the
bids under consideration and can
not accurately make public the diff
ferent bids until the same are fig
ured out.
Bids for the building of the
force main to the new reservoir
on the southeast hill will be open

the risky job at the Spokane Table
Supply house. Entrance to Green
oughs' store was gained through
the skylight, while they got into
the Spokane Table Supply Co.'s
store through a small window lead
ing from a hall upstairs.
Much champagne was drunk by
the robbers in a rear room of
Greenough's store, and it is evil
dent that a considerable amount
of this beverage was taken away
by them. 1t is the belief of the
police that an electric motor was
used to turn the drill through the
heavy metal doors of the safes, for
the work could hardly be accom-
plished by the strength of one man.
The robbers evidently worked cool
ly and apparently their only mis-
take was to leave a flash light be-
hind them.

general purpose of securing a just
der city charter.
On April both movements were
successful. Local option, abolish
ing all saloons, ard the proposition
to adopt a charter for the city,
were each adopted by good mapori-
ties. The saloons were closed, the
political activities of the public
service corporations and machine
politicians were checked, and the
opposition to the charter badly de-
mOralized. However, the enemies
of the charter. rallied sufficiently
to nominate al icket of charter del
egates in opposition to the friends
of the charter, but the candidates
so nominated declined to run, and
q of the best and ablest citizens
of Grand Junction were elected on
June s to write the charter.
The charter convention met and
organized, electiug the author of
this article as president of the con-
vention and eX officio a member of
every committee. On August
their work was completed, and was
submitted to popular vote on
September IA, at which time the
charter was adopted by majority
of 8 1-2 to |. and is now the Or
ganic law Of this city.
This charter contains all the
beneficent features of the commits
sion form of government found in
the Galveston, Des Moines and
Berkeley charters, and many i'm
provements thereon-some of them
of fundamental and vital char
acter. Tie fundamental principle
overshadowing all other questions
in the drafting of the charater was
the fixed determination to create
and establish municipal democ-
cracy and to place all of the most
important and fundamental pow
ers of the city under the direct and
absolute control of the electors.
The powers of the city council,
their tenures of office, and even
the method of their election were
all made absolutely subservient to
the democratic ideal. A Predatory
Synopsis was adopted in the nature
of a declaration of rights, showing
the intent and purpose of the char
ter. The judges and clerks of cleo
tons are nominated by the candi-
dates. No party nominations or
other partisan action, or party Or
ganization, is permitted. Candi-
dates are nominated by 25 indi-
vidual petitions and are elected by
the preferential ballot. Under the
method of nominating by petitions
a large number of candidates are
usually nominted, and the prefer
entail ballot enables each elector
not only to express his first choice
as under the present system, but
also to express his preference be-
tween each and every other candi-
date. The fact that a candidate
cannot be elected without a ma
jority vote thus secures he abso-
lutte will of the people on every
candidates as against every other
candidate. The charter also adopt
ed the principle of direct legisla-
ton by the people, and the recall,
fixing the percentage of petitions
required by the former at per
cent and 10 per cent, and by the
latter a 20 per cent of the voters.

Approximately $4,000 worth of

peremptory orders that the work

calling for solid concrete walls.
The offer of Fife Bros. & Murphy
to build the fill or embankment
