of credit for the great early season
for several weeks. The great show
ing of the Cleveland pitchers had
much to do with this, especially the
return of Falkenberg to form, the
man who was sent back to the minors
last year as no longer of big league
caliber. But Falkenberg has been
failing recently, and the rest of the
pitching staff has not been prOduc-
ing the results it was showing in
the earlier stages of the race. Per
haps the Maps have merely hit the
slump which is due all teams in the
course of the season, but the discon-
certing reports about disagreements
on the club does not increase the
confidence in the club to any great
extent.
LajOie is not playing regularly,
and the rumOrs Of the big leagues

the management. Maybe it is that
the great Frenchman is reaching the

age, which slows the stars. | sin

Lajoie in the Cleveland lineup, the

batting, combined with the pitching,
which produced the excellent results
In the first part of the race.
But 1t is even more serious if
LaJoie does not think he is vet ready
to be retired to the bench, since this
is bound to split the club into fac

GRAVEL PIT LEASES
SUBJECT Of HEARING
Small Contractors Oppose
Contemplated Action of
City Commission.

Those Independent contractors and
gravel haulers who object to the city
giving monopolistic leases to the ex-
tensive gravel pits along the northeast
bench and contiguous to City Creek
canyon, will be given hearing by the
city commission in regular meeting
Wednesday morning at 10 'clock. Com
missioner Richard 2, Morris of the
street department. to whom was re-
ferred the matter Of the leases, said
yesterday that no action would be
taken by the city until the Independent
haulers had been given every opportun-
ity to present their grievances.
The city is contemplating a lease TO
either P. j. Moran or the Ajax Sand &
Gravel company lease covering prac-
tically all of the gravel pit sites on the
north bench with the specific under
standing that the holder of the lease is
to grade the district and build the
streets in conformity with the park.
ing plan prepared by the city engineer.
Also the lessee is TO sell the city and
all contractors on city work gravel at
p cents a yard. Other contractors will
have to pay higher rate If the leases
are given on the present bids of Moran
and the Ajax company.
1T is the last feature Of the bids that
the small contractors and haulers pro.

principal gravel pits they declare, the

BUY SUPPLIES
FOR WATER TESTS
City Bacteriologist Starts Today Collect
ing Samples for Extensive 1nvesu-
CATION Of Supply.

Reuuisition for three dozen glass
stopper bottles to be used by the city
health department in collecting samples
of water from the various sources OF
supply in it's water testing campaign
which begins today, was authorized by
the city commission yesterday.
DR.. Hardie Lynch. city bacteriologist,
will 90 up City Creek canyon early
this morning to begin the collection of
samples for the test. Water viii be
taken from the stream at the top of
the canyon and at short intervals all
the way down the canyon and finally
sample Will be taken from an open
tap in part of the city supplied by
City creek. Tie same process will be
repeated in other streams from which
the city derives a supply and then all
the samples will be subjected to chem
ical and meteorological tests.
The idea is to discover the difference
between the water at its source and at
the point Of consumption and to note
where contamination enters. When the
test is completed the city health de-
partment will have the water supply
thoroughly classified and card indexed.
1t will be able TO locate the exact spots
where contamination enters and the
causes thereof.

DRIVE WELLS IN
EMIGRATION CANYON
Water Department Starts Work for In
creasing Supply; VIII Cost
$4,000

Under the direction of c. +. Barrett,
superintendent Of water supply, the
work of driving an experimental we'll
IN Emigration canyon, just above the
old sump, with view to tapping the
underground water supply believed to
exist there, began yesterday
The well is to be driven three or four
hundred feet if necessary According
TO the calculations of the water Off,
eials a flow of 100000 gallons day
can be developed by the we'll. If this
estimate is realized four other wells
will be driven in the same vicinity and
pipe line costing about 5000 will
be built to convey the additional sup
ply to the city distributing system.
Several weeks ago the city commits
sion authorized the expenditure of $4,000
in preliminary work for this project,
with the understanding that if the ex-
peetations of the water department
were justified by the results additional
appropriation would be made.
