AIR TANK IS
UNDER THE
ELEVATOR
SECRETARY OLCOTT CONSIDER.
ING WHETHER 1T is WORTH
WORKING OUT IN AN "UNDER-
HAND STOPE."

Whether to cause the state an ex-
pense of s1OO or 5000 by tearing up
the floor in the first story of the capi-
tol building to secure for the asylum
an air tank valued at $3.50 and which
where now situated will be useless
when the new elevator is installed is
question which is puzzling Secre-
tary of State Olcott.
The secretary of state has definite
ly decided to make use of the $4,000
appropriated by the legislature for in
stallation of the new elevator and as
it will be operated wholly by water,
the air tanks will be no longer need
ed. 1t was installed several years
ago to give additional power to the
present elevator and is located under
the floor of the first story and the
tearing up of the floor it is estimated,
will cost at least $10O and probably
5000. The tank, if taken out, could
be made use of as an oil tank at the
asylum.

A Word for the Mayor.

Ed. Journal: I do not agree with
the Statesman, that the mayor is a
man utterly unfit for the place. He
has done some good things in a way.
He has made serious mistakes. At
times he follows the advice of sports
and reactionaries. 1 was never a
supporter of his, and wanted to see
George Eyre mayor. He and his
family have invested over 100000
here and are taxpayers in this city.
The mayor makes a serious blunder
when he adopts such policies that he
is afraid to meet and consult with
substantial business men before TAX
ing action. He has got right with
the Ministerial Association, and may
get right on public ownership of
water. A FRIEND.

THE GERMANS
WILL SECURE
A fine PARK

The German building society con-
sidered plans yesterday at their meet
ing which if carried out will secure
them a fine three acre grove for a
picnic park only four blocks from the
street car line, and on an eminence
overlooking the city. This park is
part of the 10 acre tract bought by
]. L. Ahlers, including the Hamlin
Smith place just east of the Catholic
cemetery, and commands the finest
view of the city and the snow peaks.
The corporation will be composed of
shareholders and they will own the
property and also about 200 building
lots in two tracts which will be sold
off to members for homes just out
side the city limits. The plans of the
building society for acquiring a park
are meeting with general favor and
the society will probably hold it's first
picnic of the season on the new park

that the chief janitor might be sew

Washed Windows.
Charles E. Letcher is a colored
gentleman and was engaged it seems
by the chief janitor to wash windows
at the state house. Anyway his bill
has stamepd upon it the o. X. Of
Rockwell, but the secretary who had
been keeping an eye on things did
not remember seeing Letcher at work
all the days set out in the bill and
quietly conducted an investigation.
The result of it was that he found
that he had worked for the state six
and one-half days instead of nine and
one-half as set out in the bill, and it
was allowed for that amount and no
more.
When the investigation was being
conducted there was a story floating
around in the state house that Rock
well might go before June 1.-THE
time set for his resignation, but the
secretary after considering the sub
ject decided to allow him to remain
until then.
While Mr.. Olcott indicated today
that he had practically decided who
his successor would be, he stated he
was not yet ready to make the an
nouncement.
