The pumping plant which furnish
es water for the Indian school east
or the city went out early this morn
ing when the Grand river reached its
highest point. Most of the machin-
cry was anchored to the bank. but
was badly smashed. The building
in which the pumps were housed is
cabled down. but practically all of
its foundation has been taken away.
II is probable that the house will be
torn down this evening so as to save
the material as it is not believed
that 1t can be kept together much
longer. Fifteen tons of coal was
taken out last night.
The total loss to the state will be
about s400.
Reports were received from De
Beque this morning that considerable
damage was caused last night by the
new rise on the Grand and property
worth several thousand dollars is
endangered. -.-.

Considerable fears were held early
this morning for the safety of Smith
Bros. pumping plant which supplies
water on Orchard Mesa. The river
rose to its highest point and at times
seemed to be about to sweep the
pumps, building and all into the
current. Nine men worked feverish-
ly all night to protect the plant
and this afternoon it was announced
that It was safe from any but the
most extraordinary rises of the river.

OLLIE JAMES, CLARK'S
CHOICE FOR CHAIRMAN
Kenuckys Famous Orator Will Probably Preside Over Great Dem
ocrdtic Convention Street Is for Roosevelt
Bitter Clashes Between Republican Faction
al Leaders at Committee Meeting.

William Finn of Pittsburg and
Frank Knox of Michigan. the officers
of the Roosevelt committee of TWEEN
ty which was organized Saturday,
today began rounding up and cement
ing the Roosevelt strength as now
represented.
Although not general, there was
some talk last night and this morn
ing of third candidate as the only
means of settling the Roosevelt
fight.
The contests before the national
committee today embraced those from
Indiana and Kentucky, two of the
states in which the Roosevelt men
made strong charges of unfair deal
ing.
The postponement OF the hearing
of the contest in the 4th California
district brought to intensity today
the conflict between the Taft and
Roosevelt factions on the republican
national committee. The vote of 3S
to 13, by which the postponement
was effected upon motion of Senator
Crane of Massachusetts, drew beyond
any possible doubt the line between
the two factions.
A proposal to put at the foot OF the
calendar all those cases which were
passed over met with objection from
Committeeman Knight of California
who demanded that the California
case which was passed over last Sat
urday Should be taken up today.
Former Senator Dick, the Taft at
torney, declared that certain papers
had not been received, and asked for
a delay of the hearing. He said that
he believed that the California pri-
mary law was made so as not to CON
form with the principles under which
the national committee acts. ut is
a question > he said, "of whether we
shall abandon the principle of elect
ing delegates by districts and return
to the principles of choosing them by
state units"
At this point Francis J. Heney, the
Roosevelt attorney broke into the
proceedings and said that he had

Would Place q Tax On Dogs and
Cigarettes and Exempt Neces.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
OF recent date articles have appeared
in the Mail Bag department of your
good paper from correspondents pro-
testing against paying higher rates for
water. II is fact that charges for
water are already entirely too high
The Government could be greatly Inn
proved by reducing taxes on necessities
and raising them on the non nece cessities
and nuisances. Dogs are both a nom
essential and a nuisance, and ought to
be taxed at least 500 a head per an
mum. A smaller tax than this would
not properly protect the public from
hydrophobia. Dogs are principally pets
of the idle, who hold big-salsrfed Gov
ernment positions, and of the senseless
poor. who should not keep them at all.
II Is SURPRISING strange that the
Health Department don't do something
to get the taxes raised on the cigarette
nuisance. Cigarettes bring so much
tuberculosis, heart disease, insanity,
and crime, and such a frightful num-
Der Of deaths among infants that each
tobacco store. stand, or case, and espe-
cially those in dining rooms, should be
taxed each $1,000 per annum. and that
is too little, when you consider destruc-
tive fires
Taxes on homes in the southeast are
much too high. For many years I have
been trying TO sell my real estate here
at the assessed price, but cannot.
Let us hope that future authorities
will compel the nuisances and nom
necessities to support the Government.

LOOKING FOR A VICTIM.

The last two days have witnessed much effort
upon the part of eminent Tories to harmonic" the
party by saddling the nomination on the shoulders
of some progressive from the West. The pretension
is now that Roosevelt is eliminated the party should
get together and select winning mani! Of course,
this is an admission on its face that Taft is not
winning man-yet he is strong today as he has
been since he decided to make the fight for renom-
nation.
Such admission utterly destroys the basis Of
the whole reactonary campaign, namely, that Taft
has made good President and his Administration
should be indorsed for if his Administration should
be indorsed who is better qualified to for Presi
dent upon his record than he himself?
No. it is not in the interest Of harmony that the
Tories are trying to get some progressive to accept
the nomination. 1t is because the country knows,
with Roosevelt, that whoever accepts nomination
at the hands of the Chicago convention, as it has
been framed" by the powers that control it, would
in very truth and detail be the recipient of stolen
goods.
That is why in their hour of extremity and
fright at the uprising of the people the Tories are
trying give their swag to other fellow and let
him suffer the odium OF this campaign andbe meted
out the punishment next November. 1t is only when
he is about run to earth that the thief attempts to
, slip his pilferngs into the pocket of innocent
party ard let them be caught with the goods.

bought in the Eastern States at prices low enough
to make the grazing Of beef cattle profitable. The
nearness to the Eastern markets and the relatively
low cost Of transportation are important factors to
be taken into consideration. Grazing cattle will, Of
course, enrich the soil, and make for better grain
crops hereafter Much Of this Eastern farm land is
worn out, and would be benefited by change such
as cattle raising would afford. ~.
OF course, it sounds little ncongruous at first
blush to think of the teemng East going into cattle
raising extensive scale, but the cost OF living
has reached point where no element in the scheme
of economy can be overlooked. If those who are in
position to know give assurances that can raise
large part of beef and pork and do il at profit
by all let the suggestion be adopted, and let
the housekeepers be redeemed from the necessity
of keeping their smokehouse in the West"

Regards Mr.. Bryan As the Man to
Redeem the Country.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Will you kindly allow me a little
space in the Mail Bag department of
your paper to air my views in regard
to the Republican show now on ex-
hibition al Chicago? In the first place,
the whole transaction Is a disgrace TO
our country, and a dark page in the
history OF our nation. May we not hope
that some good may come out of the
shameful facts that are being revealed?
Is II not true that Republican masks
are being lifted, thus revealing things
the people should have known long
ago?
As for Taft and Teddy, in my opin-
ION there Is more manhood in Tafts old
shoes than Roosevelt ever knew. Taft
Is honest In his convictions and stays
by them, while Roosevelt is as full of
tricks, crooks, and turns as an egg is
or meat. He advocates and recalls
In the present campaign he repudiates
his former Administration, and whines
like an infant when the Taft forces ap-
ply the same means he used in his own
every time he is honestly beaten. Teddy
IS a good rough rider. a good hunter,
and an elegant man to go through the
country kissing babes, but oh, what a
try soliciting support from the toiling
millions. with his hypocritical square
deal sop. when during his Administra-
ton he never made a move to tighten
the burdens OF the people who secure
their bread by the sweat OF their brow,
but, instead, placed a gag order on the
civilian employees of the Federal serv-
ice. So far as l am concerned, l hope
he will get the nomination for the pur-
pose Of taking the starch out of him.
want him to learn to distinguish be-
tween beasts of the forest and God
made intelligence. Teddy seems to
think because he has conquered a few
wild beasts of the forest he can con-
troll all he sees. When a man has
brass enough to go before the people
and claim that he is the one man who
can save the country, when he did all
he could to bring about present condi-
tions, | mark opposite name Fraud,
dangerous, and l think the party he
represents has outlived its usefulness
uf II ever had any, and we shall have
to look elsewhere for some one to bring
order out of the present chaos. In
every crisis of the worlds history God
has raised up some one to throw off
the yoke OF bondage. He selected Noah
to save the antediluvians. He chose
Moses to deliver the Israelites from
their Egyptian taskmasters. He raised
up Jesus to deliver us from the thrall-
dom of sin. He produced Abraham
Lincoln to deliver the country from
African slavery, and those who read
the signs of the times see in w. J..
Bryan the man to deliver us from the
iron heel of American slavery. which,
to my mind. is worse than the condi-
ton Of the negro when in bondage:

Apply Fitzgerald Civil Service to the
Business Of the Country.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Why would 1t not be a good SCOOP for
you to get an expression of opinion
from such people as the presidents of
the big railroads, Industrial corpora
tions, etc, on the idea of Fitzgerald's
civil service proposition as applied to
their business. and their adea of how
the Government business would be car
ried on under that scheme?
The clerks appreciate what You have
already done for us and expressions of
appreciation for your course are heard
on all sides.
Ex-senator Dick seems to have con-
for furthering the condition of the
clerks. Could he not use some Of It to

PERFECTING DISTRESS SIGNALS.

The wireless telegraph has done so much to make
ocean travel that it seemed all the tragic
that it should have partially failed in the of the
Titanic. The inquiries brought out certain amount
of indifference the part of one operator and de-
veloped the fact that some vessels there was no
operator duty during part of the time
Marconi has been giving great deal of thought
to the perfection Of arrangement by which even
layman can understand when distress signals are
coming in by wireless and if necessary, can summon
the operator to his duty The great Italian inventor
points out that it will only be necessary to alter the
international regulations as to permit of the send
ing of long signals which will ring alarm bell.
This would be recognized as a standard signal of
distress and would be readily recognized as riot
call or FIRE alarm on land. There seems to be no
mechanical difficulty whatever in arranging the wire
less that the signal will set the bell in motion and
the perfectng of the plan can be worked out without
much trouble
