Legal Fight for Balanced Rock.

Manitou.-Legal battle for the ia
nous Balanced Rock near Manitou,
one of the world-renowned points of
interest at the Garden of the Gods,
was begun in the District Court Mon
day. Attorney C. w. Dolph, represent
ing the town of Manitou filed suit to
recover possession of parts of
Balanced Rock and Steamboat
Rock, naming as defendants
Paul Goerke, Curt Goerke, Ida
Goerke, E. P. Hufferd and w. c.
Stark. The Goerkes are the owners Of
the two rocks, and Hufferd and Stark
are brought into the suit by two trust
deeds given them by the family.
According to the complaint, the east
two-thirds of the Balanced Rock and
the west half of Steamboat Rock are
situated on a public street known as
The Garden of the Gods street, and
forming part of the public domain
within the corporate limits of the town
of Manitou. Both these scenic attrac-
tions have been held for many years
by the present owners, who have held
them as scenic attractions for private
gain, and the suit is for the purpose
of securing the alleged rights of the
city and throwing open the street and
the attractions to the public.

PRESIDENT ASKS
COOPERATION
PROCLAMATION REGARDING AN.
sWERs TO QUESTIONS PUT BY
CENSUS ENUMERAToRs.
FOR REFUSAL
INFORMATION is CONFIDENTIAL
AND ONLY ASKED FOR STA
TISTICAL PURPOSES.

Washington.-On Tuesday the Pres
fdent issued a proclamation calling
upon all citizens of the country to
lend their aid toward making the cur
rent census success.
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
By the President OF the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By the Act of Congress
approved July I'd, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the fif-
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas, A correct enumeration Of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of deter
mining the representation OF the sew
eral states in the House of Represen-
tatives; and
Whereas, 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance to the interests of all the people
Of the United States that this census
should be complete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources
of the country:
Now, therefore, I, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known that. under the act afore-
said, it is the duty of every person to
answer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family,
and that any adult refusing to do SO is
subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are re-
quired from individuals only in order
to permit the compilation of such gen
eral statistics. The census has moth
ing to do with taxation, with army or
Jury service, with the compulsion Of
school attendance, with the regulation
of immigration, or with the enforce
ment of any national, state, or local
law or ordinance, nor can any person
be harmed in any way by furnishing
the information required. There need
be no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests of the per-
son furnishing information every en-
ploye of the Census Bureau is prohib-
tied, under heavy penalty, from dis
closing any information which may
thus come to his knowledge.
l therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly and accurately all inquiries ad-
dressed to them by the enumerators or
other employees of the census bureau,
and thereby to contribute their share
toward making this great and neces-
sary public undertaking a success
In witness whereof, have hereuntc
set my hand and seal and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington

POSTOFFICE BIDS
ARE ALL IN
PROSPECTS GOOD FOR THE USE
OF COLORADO MARBLE IN
ITS CONSTRUCTION.
1S IN COMPETITION
1882, 1872 LOWEST BID FOR HOME
MATERIAL-LoWER BID FOR
OUTSIDE MARBLE.

Washington. March 15.-Denver's
new federal building will be shining
white marble monument to commemo-
rate the advance of a new Colorado
industry into active competition with
the country at large, according to ex-
perts on construction, who attended
the opening of bids at the Treasury
Department today.
Every indication points to the sue.
cess of Colorado Yule marble in com
petition with building materials quar-
ried in states already famous for their
marbles and GRANTEES. This confidence
is based on the announcement by Su
pervising Architect Taylor of the
Treasury Department. that Colorado
material would be used unless the diff
ference in the cost should make the
course prohibitive.
With one exception the lowest bid
submitted for entire marble construc.
ton came from the Heddon Construc,
ton Company of New York at $780,
1872, which company proposes to use
Colorado Yule marble in the construc-
tion of the building.
The Charles McCaull Company of
est bidders on entire marble construc-
tion, their bid being $1,324,55S to erect
the structure. They proposed Claren-
don marble, a product of the state of
New Hampshire. which. it is said. can
not possibly fill the bill and compete
with the Colorado product.
Not in great while has there been
as much interest attached to opening
of bids for the construction of a pub
lie building as was manifested in re-
gard to the Denver postoffice and fed
eral building. The agents of the bid
ders were as numerous and as varie-
gated as the classes of stone they sug-
gested.
1t may be said that on the surface it
would appear that Colorado Yule mar
BILE has the call, although marble from
various quarries in the United States
are in the running.
The government, through its adver-
tising and desiring to give all quarry
men a chance at the Denver building,
called for alternate bids on granite or
limestone. 1t also occurred to Super
vising Architect Taylor to ascertain
what contractor would undertake to
do the work for if he were permitted
to use marble in some portions of
outside construction and some inferior
stone in other sections.
This led to a multiplicity of bids
from those who desired the contract.
The low figure named by the Hedden
company appears to give Colorado
marble an excellent chance. 1t is
likely that a test of samples offered
as compared with those submitted
from another quarry by the lowest
bidder will largely determine the
award.
The bidders from Denver were:
Frank De Franceno. Denver. New
Hampshire pink granite, $1,394, 900;
Bedford limestone, $995,675; New
Hampshire pink granite and lime
stone, $1.2s9.30O.
Seerie Bros, Denver, Mount Arie
granite, sl,479.6OO; Bedford limestone,
$1,175,156; Mount Arie granite and
limestone, $1.392,6O2.
