the unusual conditions which fol.

Mr.. Ritter's train became snow

came the passenger, No. 6, which was
soon at a standstill. caught also
In the iron clutches OF the blizzard
The snow plow was next on Z
scene, having been sent to their es-
cue but It also succumbed for awhile
to the unusual conditions.
Mr.. Ritter says that his engine
at times reared upon the snow to, al
most, an angle OF forty.five degrees.
causing him to entertain grave fears
that 1t would tilt over, and that at
other times the snow was above the
cab windows.
The crew of the freight, and the
crew and passengers on No. 6 were
forced to desert their trains and
take refuge wherever they could be
accommodated in Cmarron.
1t fell to Mr.. Ritter's lot to have
shelter under the roof OF kindly old
Irish woman, known as Grandma
Burnes, who has been resident of
Kansas since 1876. and who talked
most Interestingly to her showdown
guests Of the pioneer days In Kansas
and in Colorado. Altogether an In.

MR.. SPARKS TELLS BUSINESS MEN OF
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM DALLAS TRIP

That Wilmington is not lacking in
civic spirit is demonstrated at Tho
MONDAY luncheons inaugurated by
the Wilmington Board OF Trade re-
Gently. AT each one OF these lunch
cons the attendance Increases and it
is hoped when the DUPONT Hotel Is
completed the large dinner room will
be necessary to seat those who
gather at these meetings TO consider
betterments Of the city.
The enthusiasm that prevailed at
Hanna's Cafe yesterday when the
Board Of Trade gave a reception TO
the members of the Street and Sewer
Department for their activity in Sc
curing this city as the meeting place
for the American Society OF Munich
pal improvements next year was
encouraging. Those present were de-
lighted with the report made by Pres
ident George W. Sparks concerning
the visit Of the commissioners 20
Dallas
The report follows:
THE Board of Directors OF the
Street and Sewer Department deem
D a privilege 10 be permitted 10 ap-
pear before this gathering of repre-
sentative citizens Of Wilmington TO
Tecite their experiences and observa-
tons on the trip recently made 10 the
iaeeung of the American Society Of
Municipal. Improvements held in the
cily of Dallas, Texas The meetings
we're OF intense interest. the papers
generally considered the most yalu-
able that had ever been presented, the
interest taken certainly greater and
the attendance better than at any
4 previous meeting. showing conclu-
sively that the matters under consid-
Grafton interested all alike.
The convention was held in the
rooms Of the Chamber Of Commerce
of Dallas The aims of this associa-
! ton are TO be of direct advantage TO
all municipal officials. advisory ex-
{ perts and others who have to do with
/ the designing. construction and main
/ tenance of the physical features Of a
modern city and with its government
/ and it is believed that 1t attains this
end to a higher degree than any other
national society of any kind. The
nature of the work done and the gen
eral field covered is wen indicated by
the subjects assigned to the several
committees appointed by the society
these subjects comprising Street Paw
ing, Street Lighting, Water Works
and Water supply, Sewerage and
Sanitation, Garbage Disposal and
Street Cleaning Park Development
and Maintenance, City Government
and Finance, Municipal Data and sta
tistics and Standard Specifications
The papers on these subjects are rec
ognized as being of such value that
the book of the proceedings in which
they are published is purchased reg
ularly by the libraries of engineering
schools. by cities and by the Congress
sional Library The associate mem
bers give exhibitions of their appli
ances and materials used i'm munich
pal constructions. such as paving
sewer pipe. water meters, etc, which
are of greatest value in giving mem
bers exact information as to the lat
est improvements in these lines.

of this association that many of th'
papers dealt with problems that thii

Sewage Disposal.
THE greater portion of the earlier
sessions was devoted almost eXclu-
sivcly to the question Of sewage dis
posal which owing to our fortunate
geographical location, for the pres
ent, Is not a matter OF serious con-
sideration for us but should the city
extend rapidly and in certain direc.
tiOns Il might be found that condi-
tions were such that the grade would

to adopt the systems In vogue i'm in.

ditions, to what was probably the
earliest form OF street paving, name
~ the stone block.
AT one session of the meeting the
stereopticon was brought into use by
an engineer of the United States Gov
ernment sent to the meeting for the
purpose OF displaying to the society
views Of experiments made by the
national government with machinery
constructed for the purpose. on varl-
Gus forms Of material for street paw
ing; likewise views of deficiencies in
street pavement OF various kinds
with an explanation in so far as
their judgment went in the case. and
Il was further brought out conclu-
siyely that a pavement which has
gone bad" rs not necessarily OF poor
material but from some attending
condition or cause the defects would
appear. This was most clearly
shown in the laying OF o sheet as
phalt pavement that had rutted
badly along the car tracks and
the contractor condemned for bad
material which upon analysts
showed entirely 10 the contrary
and that the cause was due
to improper rail construction. This
may be seen frequently In our city;
but In the construction OF recent
years We are having no difficulty as
our department is requiring the com
panies 10 lay their roads of heavier
rail and better construction and we
are pleased 10 be able to state that
they have acceded TO our require
ments in every instance without OBJ
lection. This Of course Is 10 their
own advantage as Il cuts down their
repair bill extensively.
City Interest Is Growing.

in a year or two the increased de-
mand and a better price will more
than make the difference in the cost.
Packers schools could be established
a few weeks before the main pick
ing and packing season commenced
in each fruit-growing lo>ality, and
by the packers paying small tuition
to defray expenses this could be made
possible.
The registration of packers and
the establishing of packers schools
have been carried on in other fruit
growing sections of the United States
with success, and there is no reason
why the same could not be carried
on in Colorado. 1t is believed that
most packers, when they know they
are partly responsible for the kind
of pack, will take more interest in
their work and will try to make a
reputation for themselves in so do
ing. 1t would be well to have print
ed on small sheet where the apples
were grown, and also state that GER
tain rules and regulations were
adopted governing the pack and this
