COUNCIL AWARDS
SEWER CONTRACT
Contract l. Also Given for Improve
ment of West Webb Street from
Main TO Cosbie

Charles W. Connor & Son were las
evening awarded the contract fol
constructing the north side sewer eX'
tension at a meeting of the council
and the Warren Construction COM
pany was given the contract for the
improvement Of west Webb street
! from Main to Cosbie with gravel BIZ
tulithic pavement.
Three sewer bids were received,
that of Connor & Son being declared
the lowest and best. The total of his
bid for the laying of the pipe and
furnishing of material and labor eX-
cept as otherwise specified was $i,-
S95.44. six inch pipe is to be furnish
ed for 90 cents a foot and IA inch
pipe at 65 cents, other sizes in pro-
portion Manholes are to cost the
city $50 each and flush tanks, $50.
There was only one bid received for
the improvement of west Webb street,
it being that of the Warren company,
which agrees to lay the pavement for
S1.45 per square yard or $6S39.4l for
the entire distance.
No Foot Bridge This Year.
Acting upon the recommendation
of the street committee. the council
last evening voted not to grant the
request of the school board for foot
bridge over the river near Blaine
street for the accommodation of
school children. In It's report. the
committee estimated that such a
bridge would cost $500 and estimat-
ed that wagon bridge could be con-
structed for about $4,000 additional
on account of the lateness of the
season, it was deemed inadvisable to
commence upon such work at this
time.
However the council did vote to
replace the old wooden foot bridge
across the Byers' mill race near Post
street. Chairman Cole of the street
committee estimated that such a
bridge would not cost more than $65.
Suffragists Make Request.
\ petition signed by Judge stephen
\. Lowell. representing the local suf
fragists was read to the council last
evening asking permission for DR..
Anna Shaw, the leading suffrage
worker of the nation, to address a
crowd from the steps of the city hall
on Friday of the Roundup. 1t was
the sense of the council that such a
meeting would seriously interfere
with the work of the police, inasmuch
as the front steps of the city hall are
the only entrance to and exit from the
police station. Therefore. the peti-
ton was referred to the street com
mittee with instructions to confer
with the local suffragists and the po-
lice with a view to selecting some
other suitable place for the meeting
20 An offer of the Chas. w. Goodman
Co. to decorate the city hall during
fair week for $40 was referred to the
house committee with power to act
Councilman Cole reported that the
work of repairing the levee would
probably he completed this week.
The only other business done by
the council last evening was the al
lowing of number of bills and the
killing of an ordinance designed as a
solution to the automobile carrier
problem during the Roundup, an ac-
count of which appears in another
part of the paper.

OF COLORADO
FAT WITH PROSPERITY
The State Land Appraiser Tells How
They Have Won in Eastern
Counties.

Denver. Colo.-"The happiest peo-
pie in Colorado" says j. L. Harris
one of the appraisers for the state
land board, "are the dry-farmers who
live in the eastern part of the state.
Il will tell of just one instance
one in MISUNDERSTANDING what a
prosperous year it is. Peter Sanborn
bought eight sections of land at Lee
roy 20 miles east of Sterling There
is no water on the property and it is
mortgaged for $4,000. on account of
the hard winter and other adverse
conditions several of Sanborn's neigh
bors moved away. Sanborn and his
family stayed. however, but they had
to run up a big grocery bill in order
to live
"Sanborn put in 500 acres of winter
wheat and it will run 25 bushels to
the acre Besides this he has other
crops coming up, such as corn and
potatoes. This years crops will put
the family in the clear, paying en-
ough to pay off the mortgage and the
grocery bill and leaving a nice balance
in the bank.
"The man in charge of the depot
at Sterling has $40 acres of dry land
east of that town, and his wheat,
corn. potatoes and milk will put him
also to the good These are only two
cases out of hundreds.
"The same can be said of the west
ern slope, where, of course, the crops
are the heaviest in the state. Delta,
Grand. Montrose and Garfield coun-
ties never knew such an area of pros
perity,
THE only problem for the farmers
and fruit growers is whether the rail-
cars to move the crops"

PREVENTIVE To DISASTER.
Former Blucjackct Invcnts Lifc-Sav'
ing Suit for Men on Submarine.


ing Suit for Men on Submarine.
Washington.-To prevent the rep
etition in the American navy of the
terrible disasters which have occur
red To several British and French
submarine craft, involving the linger-
ing death, by strangulation and me-
phitic gases, of the helpless crews, is
the purpose of a novel invention sub
mitted for examination and test to
the navy department by former
blueiacket, Samuel Roth of New
York.
Presupposing the equipment OF ev-
cry submarine with one or more ports
fitted with double air locks. like the
caissons used in underground work,
the idea is that every member.of the
crew shall be supplied with what is
called swimming suit" That is
not unlike an ordinary diving suit in
appearance, but it is provided with
small tanks charged with Oxygen,
which is calculated To maintain life
under water for a long time. The
suit is sufficiently buoyant to bring
the wearer speedily to the surface of
the water after he has escaped from
the sunken hull, and once there,
small compartments supply him with
fluid food and fresh water until he
Is picked up by some vessel.
The device is also capable of use
by aviators using hydroplanes over
water. A novel attachment is a he'll
met equipped with an electric lamp
supplied from small storage battery
so that the sailor may find his way
around in the dark ocean depths or
in the interior of the wreck.
