BELIEF OF
AUDITOR

That the records of the construc-
ton OF the Main street bridge have
been iuggled and that serious irregu-
larities exist in connection With the
reconstruction of pier B which was
washed out In May Is said 10 be the
belief OF Auditor Kenehan.
All day the auditor has been going
into the bridge matter and this af-
ternoon several hours were spent in
the interrogation Of County Attorney
Halderman. This morning County
Engineer Fisk was on the stand.
Kenehan claims that the work for
the new pier was done without a bond
or - contract and when II contract was
finally drawn after the pier was COM
Isleted it was invalid because il pre-
sumed to get its statutory authority
from q portion of the states laws that
does not pertain i'll any way 10 the
payment OF money by tho county. Ir-
regularitie- in letting the contract, in
the sureties, in the handling of the
whole matter was strongly hinted Mt
by the auditor. This is the declara-
ton of those who have watched tho
investigation and who are in n posi-
ton to know his views.

sentinel Special Service.


Denver, Aug. lon the 27th and
2Sth of this month the annual con-
yention OF the Colorado Bankers As
sociation will be held in this city.
1t is said that as many as 500 bank
ers will attend the meeting. A num-
ber of leading bankers of note from
other states have been asked to ad-
dress the Colorado bankers and will
be here.
The principal question to be con-
sidered is the national currency re-
form bills The stand to be taken on
this matter by the association will
have much to do in influencing the
entire west upon this important mat
ter, il is said. The good features of
the currency bill now pending in
congress will be approved by the Col
orado bankers and the bad ones OBJ
jected to. Congress will be memoir
allied to pass such a law as will not
be injurious to the banking interests
generally of the country.
The national bankers particularly
object to the clause in the proposed
currency bill which forces them to
become members of the new federal
banking system. One feature of the
proposed law will deprive national
banks of United States deposits as
well as of the power to issue curren-
cy.
It is said here that the bankers of
this state will take a stand on the
question and declare themselves in
no uncertain terms.
Local bankers will make elaborate
preparations for entertaining the vis-
iting bankers and their wives.

SAVING TREES GIRDLED BY
MICE AND RABBITS.

Notwithstanding the fact that most
of our growers took the necessary
precautions to protect their trees this
past winter from the invasion of mice
and rabbits, upon investigation many
were found to be damaged to de-
preciable extent. Are we going to
make an effort to save those trees or
shall we let them die? In the first
place, it will not be necessary to
lose such trees, no matter how bad
the injury if we will apply ourselves
Immediately. BY restoring to any of
the following methods the trees may
be saved.
First, if the injury extends only
around a portion of the tree and is
near the base, it will heal over in
one or two seasons, by banking up
the soil over it. This should be
done before the wood becomes dry.
The soil should be piled about a
foot high and pressed firmly around
the base of the tree. In case the
wound cannot be covered with soil,
it should be covered with soft. graft
ing wax and wrapped with three or
four layers of burlap. New bark
should soon form under the cover II
the exposed surface has not become
too dry. Trees completely girdled
have been saved this way.
Girdled trees can also be saved by
saving off below the injury and
cleft grating the stub. If the stub
