Sewer Department.

The delay occasioned by the litiga-
ton to determine the validity of the
$550,O0O trunk sewer bonds issue has
prevented the city of Nashville from
making any substantial progress in
the laying of sewers during the year
1911. However, seven and one-terth
or 1850 lineal feet, of trunk sewers
are at present under contract at a
cost of $2S0,55 and one and one six
teenth miles, or 6.145 lineal feet of
lateral sewers are now under con
tract at a cost of $4,000. Two hun
dred and fifty feet of trunk sewers
have been completed this year at a
cost of $3.50 and 1880 feet of lateral
sewers have been completed at cost
of $4,000. The health of the people.

There was such sound of scuffling

mind-reader paused, and lowered his
gaze. The men were fleeing, and the

Mules Testimony Effective.

A most amusing incident occurred
a short time ago in a Massachusetts,
court, when the convincing testimony
of mule led to the owner of the anil
NAL being fined $50. A driver had
been charged with driving CALLED
mule. The prisoner had an expert
witness who testified that the sore on
the mules back did not pain the ami
NAL in the least. The Judge listened
attentively to the long technical opin-
ion, and then demanded to know
where the mule was. 1t was harnessed
to a wagon on the street in front Of
the court building. Ordering that
court be adjourned for five minutes
the judge proceeded to the street, and
with the end of his cane touched the
sore on the mules back. The mule
almost kicked the dashboard off the
wagon. Once again the judge touched
the sore and the frantic beast almost
demolished the wagon with his kick
ing. The Judge returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.
with all due respect to the expert
testimony you have had introduced in
your behalf to show that the sore on
the mules back does not pain him,
will fine you $780," announced the
Judge. Il asked the mule if the sore
hurt him and he said it did"

magnificent peaks of the lower Andes
at an altitude of more than 5000 feet,
and the effects of its proximity to the
equator are so modified by this that
the climate is probably the most
spring-like in the world. In Quito
they have perpetual Indian summer,
glorious sunshine, soft tempered breez-
es, and only occasionally the violent
transforms which so thickly inter
sperse the year in the northern hem
isphere. These delightful conditions
have charmed Mrs William C. Fox,
wife of the United States minister to
Ecuador, who says of the picturesque

passing from one of the most pictur-

the capital of Ecuador was made on

though it has magnificent scenery
and life in the interior is most inter
esting, yet leave it to any woman of
my acquaintance if the experience
would be relished more than once.
Now the railroad has penetrated the
mountains and comes direct from the
seaport of Guayaquil to Quito. With
the railroad, of course, have come all
the progress and charge incident to it

taking on some of the less attractive
features of modern civilization. The
streets have long been lighted by cleo

The pigeon at the Relief hospital

Each county was taken care of in some
manner and it is thought in this city
that the western slope counties will b.

get. Mesa county, it is true, asked foe
Il much larger and more substantial
appropriation but the commission could
not see its way clear to grant the re
quest for $4,000.
AS it is, Mesa county will receive
$500 per month for the maintenance
of the road camp provided the county
will pay as much more and make a
total of $1,000 per month.
Garfield, Delta and Montrose coun
ties each were given $500 per year.
