LONG PROTEST AGAINST
STREET PAVING IS FILED

An extensively signed protest was filed
with the city recorder Friday by prop
erty owners along Second West street
between Third South and the Warm
Springs. protesting against the paving Of
that street with asphalt as contemplated
by the city council.
IT is claimed by the protestants there
that the paving Is not needed at present
and would benefit only the hucksters and
farmers coming in from Davis county
and as many of the property owners on
the street are poor people. IL would mean
that they would have to mortgage their
homes In order to pay for the paving
There are several hundred signatures to
the protest
The matter will be sent to the coun-
ell Monday night

HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT
IN WESTERN DISTRICT

DENVER. April 1.-Representatives of
operators and miners in district No. 10.
comprising northern Colorado and wy
omng, may adjust their differences Mon
day. a meeting between the two sides
today failed to bring about an agree
ment. principally, 1t is said. because the
operators had no authority to act. AL
though the operators refused TO agree to
the miners proposition that they return
to work al an advance of cents per
ton, pending arbitration It Is not believed
that the differences are irreconcilable.
There Is no likelihood that the 1900
and the northern part of New Mexico
will strike, as less than 10 per cent of
them are unionized. A coal famine is
regarded as impossible.
