Complex Coal Fuss
Bothers City Dads
Wonder is as to What Right the City
Council Had to Buy Coal for
the Library.

Who Is going to take the coal contracted
for the city library with the McCoun Coal
company, is what the officials Of the com.
pany want to know. incidentally they
want to know who is going to pay for it,
The incidental in this case is of more inn
portance than the delivery Of the COM
modify.
The situation is this: Some time ago the
city council passed a resolution authorizing
the asking of bids for furnishing coal for
the city hall, the city jail and the library.
The McCoun Coal company with offices
at 1901 South Sixteenth, was the successful
bidder, and the contract was allotted
Subsequently coal was ordered for the
city Jail and for the city hall but none
for the library. The coal is ordered in
lots to suit the convenience of the janitors
The moguls around the city jail and city
hall sent in regular orders but the coal
company heard nothing from the library
As time went on, the coal company's scouts
became worried for fear that the inmates
of the library were freezing to death. They
paid a friendly call and were Mortified to
find the library was getting its coal from
other dealers.
investigation developed the fact that the
library people did not consider that the
contract with the coal company had any
thing to do with the furnishing of coal for
the library. They had always bought their
own coal and paid for it, and couldn't see
where the council had any right to inter-
fere. That was the ultimatum that went
to the coal barons.
The matter was referred to the city
clerk and then to the city comptroller and
was compromised Friday morning when
the library officials agreed to take the
coal. some 100 tons or whereabouts, at the
contract price from the company to, avoid
unpleasant Developments
in the meantime, city Officials are won
dering how the clause including the city
library passed the watchful eye of the city
attorney. TO whom the resolution was re-
ferred, and then slipped through the city
council when that body had nothing to do
with II.

DuntleY
Pneumatic Cleaner

Home may be furnished with resilient
rugs, handsome and charming furniture,
creamy curtains, and rich portieres,
but these articles soon gather dust
which, unless 1t is removed, Bpoils the
beauty of ones surroundings. Mother
often complains about the trouble she
has in keeping things clean" The
dust just creeps into the homes of the
best housewives and the particular ma
irons spend much of their time in clean
ing up the rooms unless they possess a
machine for removing dirt from their
surroundings. 1t is possible for mother
and the hired girl to give more atten-
ton to other household duties than
keeping furniture, rugs and walls clean
If the home has one of the Duntley
Pneumatic Cleaners, for which We are
the Omaha agents. This machine rap
idly removes dust and dirt that lies
underneath rugs and carpets. Up
holstered furniture is kept clean and
fresh through use of the upholstery
renovator which accompanies the
cleaner. So pure and clean is the cur
rent of exhaust air that it may be used
for removing dust from ladies' hats,
delicate laces, etc. 1t thoroughly and hy-
chemically dries the hair after a shampoo.
To supply needs where electric light
current is not obtainable, we sell a

Gugeenheim's Work

It's quite the fashion with certain
papers and people to take a fling at
Senator Guggenheim in season and
out Of season, but he does lots of
good work for Colorado for which he
gets very little credit. The late Fort
Lewis military reservation is a case
In point.
Two years ago the national govern
ment offered this valuable property,
said to be worth $4,5OO,OO0, to the
state, provided it would maintain a
branch agricultural station on the
site, and the legislature passed a bill
accepting the gift; but for some un-
accountable reason, Governor Sha-
froth vetoed the bill. The property
was about to revert back to the gov
ernment when Ed Taylor got busy
and telegraphed the governor and
legislature urging the immediate
passage of another bill complying
with the governments requirement.
This was, done, and this time the
governor signed the bill.
And in the meantime, 1t was Sena-
tor Guggenheim who held back ac-
tion by the senate at Washington
and saved Fort Lewis reservation to
Colorado.
All know the good work Congress-
man Ed Taylor is doing for Colorado
and particularly how he is constantly
sson tho ioh'' in the interest Of his

Recommends Closed Season

The Denver Republican, in a recent
issue, published the following inter-
view with State Game Commissioner
Thomas J. Holland. In the opinion
of Mr.. Holland, no deer should be
shot in the state for five years, which
will thus increase the sporting inter
est when the five-year ban is remov-
ed, and also add to the revenue of the
state. He calls attention to the thons-
ands of sportsmen who are attracted
to Maine each year, resulting In great
financial benefit to that state. In
Maine thousands of deer are killed
annually and the state expends more
than 1000 in maintaining the sup
ply. This Is done, he said, by having
a sufficient number of wardens to
protect the game during the closed
season. The number of licenses sold
when the season opens more than
triples the amount Of money expend-
ed in keeping up an adequate sup
ply:
"We have a law In Colorado for the
the protection Of deer, but there
should be no hunting for five years
that the deer may increase to an ex-
tent that will permit of more extern
sive hunting. This will attract more
hunters. While many thousands Of
deer were killed in Maine last year,
only five hundred were killed here.
There is no reason why we should
not profit by the example of the Pine
Tree state.
.'Only 10000 year is spent in
Colorado in protecting the deer. That
is not enough. The state is not prop
erly policed and many Of the animals
are killed of which we have no re-
cord. For time the hunting Of any
kind Of deer was allowable. That re-
suited in the killing Of the does, and
the increase stopped short. Now only
bucks may be killed. And even this
should be stopped for few years
that the supply may increase"
The deer-hunting season will open
again October lst and will continue
for ten days. Unless the legislature
at this session passes the bill making
for q closed season, the end Of 1911
will virtually zee the extermination
of the native Colorado deer.

We notice that the Craig Courier
is opposed to the creation of the new
county Of Moffat, chiefly on the
grounds that 1t will not get territory
enough or have taxable property suf-
ficient to support 1t. Both conten-
tions are erroneous. The new county
will be nearly twice the size Of the
old county of Routt; 1t will have be-
tween $500. 600 and 100000 more tax
able property than Rio Blanco had
when created, and will start of with
monty mfty treasury. This county,
at its start, had to assume about
go, 900 Of the Garfield county debt;
it's got good court house and is
nearly out of debt to-day. To our
way Of thinking, Mofiat county will
start of under most favorable con-
ditions.

chronic appendicitis, which may any

inc, etc, as compounded in Adlcr-i-

remedy. A SINGLE DOSE will
bring relief. The Meeker Drug com
pany states that the quick action of
