Hard work Fails to MaterialtEe
Dream of Merriok County MAN.
CENTRAL CITY. Neb., June 26.-(Spe-
cial)-The elimination of the dreams of
c. A. Sitter occurred last week at bartlett,
Wheeler county, when the lake at Erickson
and the land surrounding it were sold by
tn sheriff to satisfy debts against it. II
was bid in by G. II. Gray Of this place,
holder of the mortgages. Ten years ago
c. A. Sitter was q prosperous druggist
He was always an enthusiastic hunter and
fisherman and when he went up to Lake
Erickson on a fishing expedition he fell
in love with the place. He conceived the
idea Of making 1t a great summer resort
and soon his ideas assumed tangible
shape. He formed a company to exploit
the proposition and succeeded in selling a
great many shares over the state. Lake
Erickson is sort of a widening of the
Cedar river and TO deepen the lake and
make 1t permanent Mr.. Sitter built great
cement dam In the river. The floods came
and carried the dam away. Nothing daunted,
he built again on a different plan, Again
the dam was washed out and again he
built. The third dam did not last as long
as either Of the others, being washed out
the day after 1t was completed and ac-
cepted by him. In all he sunk about 81, 900
in the project before he gave 1t up.
At one time he intended to operate an
electric plant with the vast water power
there and furnish light and power down the
line of the Burlington. He also proposed
building II line of ice houses 30 be supplied
with pure lake ice. Tho money lost in the
successive washing out of the dams so
crippled him financially that he was forced
to give up these projects and now the sale
Of the Erickson property under the sheriff 8
hammer marks the closing chapter OF a
project which in Its inception gave every
promise Of being crowned with success

MAY ADD TO
LOCAL PLANT
Report that A. S. & r. Com
pany Has Closed Contracts
for More Mines.
CHANGE AT e. PASC

According to a story in New York
papers, this afternoon, the American
Smelling & Refining Company yes
terday closed a contract by the terms
of which the A. S. & r. Company
will hereafter treat the products Of
the Ray Consolidated Copper Com
pany, and the Chino Copper Com
pany and control the sale Of the cop
per produced by these corporations.
To take care Of the new business the
company will be compelled to in
crease the capacity of the refinery In
this city and their plant at Ell Paso,
Texas.
Announcement OF these contracts
is no surprise as the Guggenheims,
controllers ci the American COM
pany, are dominating factors in the
Ray Consolidated and Chino compe-
nies. Both concerns are in the low
porphyry class and are still in the
development stage
The Ray company has a daily out
put of 10000 tons of copper. The
Chino has almost as much. The lat
ter is located ct Santa Pita, New
Mexico. To handle the additional
ore tho local plant OF the American
Smelting and Refining Company, II
is believed, will be increased and
many more hands will be employed.
II is said that the closing of both
contracts yesterday was the most i'm
portant development in the Aopper
industry since last winter.

HEALTH BOARD
LIKELY To Be
REORGANIzED
Expected that Officers will
Be Chosen at the Ses-
sion Tonight.

Mr.. kaletsch May Become
Its Head COMMITTEES to

MAY ELECT PRESIDEN7
BOARD NOW COMPLETE

The Board Of Health will In all
probability be reorganized at its reg
ular meeting to be held in city hall
tonight. 1t is expected that officers
will be chosen to carry out the work
of the board and in that way it's
wheels will again commence to re-
yolve. There is to be q president
appointed, besides numerous COM
mittees. The reappointment of JUS
tus Kaletsch completes the board. 1t
now having seven members.
Little is known about how the
members stand with respect to the
election Of q president, for it ap-
pears no conferences have been held
and none Of the commissioners seem
to know of any one choice for the
office. The general belief, however,
is that Justus Kaletsch may be chos-
en- as president. He was one of the
most active members on the old
board.
G. G. sibley seems to be the unani-
nous choice for president, but he
has repeatedly refused to accept,
standing firmly by his resignation of
few weeks ago. He feels that he
cannot give proper attention to both
MS personal affairs and those of the
health board. He worked industri-
ously for the board all the time he
occupied the chair and during the
past year the board has accomplish
ed much.
The board has been In a general
disrupted state since Richard Hen
derson, A. P. Kennedy, Justus Kal-
etsch and Jacob Kreielsheimer re-
signed Either one or more of them
figured on all the committees and
their resignation practically wiped
out every working committee the
board had. AS a consequence, the
health board work has been practi-
cally at standstill.
The inspectors have done what
work they could, but the services OF
a sanitation committee, milk and
food supply committee and plumb
Ing board were found wanting. All
committees are expected to be named
by the new head chosen tonight and
then the board will again be In
working order. The commissioners
have much work ahead, for 1t has
been piling up in large quantities OF
late.

o. NEW SITE
Proposed Location of Wer-
theim's Slaughter House
Viewed by State Man.
CHANGES ARE SUGGESTED

State and local health officials
viewed the site for A. Wertheim' g
proposed new slaughter house in
upper New Brunswick avenue this
morning The ground was covered
and the plans were looked over. A
few suggested changes will be made.
In the party that made the inspec-
ton were Inspector William G. Tice.
Of the State Board. of Health; local
Health Commissioner p. N. Kennedy
local Health Inspector s. T. Frost
and George Brooks, representative
from Architect J. X. Jensen's office
The trip to the grounds was made
in the local health department rig
at 1890 o'clock.
Mr.. Wertheim at present main
tains a slaughter house in New
Brunswick avenue, at the intersec-
ton of Washington street. Owing
to the thick settlement about that
section, numerous complaints have
resulted. The place is too small for
slaughteriDg, says Mr.. Werthcim,
and that is one Of the main reasons
why he wishes to hurry work on his
proposed new structure.
The plans, originally drawn by
Architect ]. K Jensen, were sent to
the state health authorities for in
spection. The state board wanted to
know more about the site and there
fore sent Mr.. Tice here.
Inspector Tice found the location
OF the site suitable in most every de-
tail. He suggested changes on the
plans, enlarging some parts Of the
proposed building, permitting more
air space In places and making pro-
vision for exclusion of flies and other
insects.

TAFT'S FRIENDS HAPPY
OVER THE CONFERENCE

Special oy United Press Wire
On Board President Taft's Special,
Columbus, o., Sept. 20:-From all
over the country today President
Taft is receiving congratulatory
messages over his encounter with
the big stick" yesterday at New
Haven. In single step, friends of
the Executive say, he has gained the
right to leadership In the party. His
action in refusing to acquiesce in
certain terms formulated by Col
Roosevelt, marked the inception of
new policy on the part of the Presi-
dent; a determination to maintain
his position as leader Of the party
even if such determination means q
declaration of war against Colonel
Roosevelt.
That the contributing editor
should have sought the aid of the
President Is in itself an indication
that the colonel has suddenly awak-
ened to the fact that Taft's band is
for more than titular leadership.
This is the view taken by friends of
the President, and they are jubilant
today to learn that the Executive
maintained his place with the pros
poets in the future of active opppo-
sition from the colonel and his
friends.
