SOME PECULIAR
 |NFOR MAT|ON N
Efforts of Denver Editor to Contribute Information of This Section Provoke Much Amusement - He Will Know Better Soon

The lack of information that some people who set themselves up as infor- nation bureaus have relative to some parts of the map is sometimes laugh able in the extreme. This is illustrated by the publication in the Denver Daily News of August of the following little compendium of information.
 Roosevelt Dam.
 W. B La Junta.-1. Will you inform mo on what stream is the Roosevet dam located? 2. What is the supply. one month with another, in feet per second? g. Can a person file on land under that reservoir who had used his homestead rights twenty five years ago? f. To whom should I apply for information concerning available land under the reservoir? Answer: 1. The water confined comes from the Colo rado river. The big lake was formed by an irrigation canal which was brolI- en by heavy rains, causing damage to the extent of millions. The rcclama- tion service had charge of the dam. The engineer in charge was from the facuI- tv of the Colorado School of Mines. 2. No figures on the supply. It is more than enough for the land covered 3. No The land is held by companies or controlled by the reclamation service 1. Try IF. H Newell, Director Recla- mation Service, Washington, D. C."
 There are only few things wrong about the little statement of Captain J. r Smith, who answers the queries made to the editor of the Daily News In fact there is only one thing correct in the statement and that is the en- gineer in charge of the construction of the dam came from the factulty of the Colorado School of Mines This is true as Engineer Louis C. Hill was a profes- sor there before entering the reclama- tfon service.
 But to the other answers. First the water in the reservoir does not come from the Colorado. Second there was no big lake formed by an irrigation canal that broke because of heavy rains causing damage of millions of dollars worth of property.
 No such accident has happened to the dam since the reclamation ser vice has had charge oi it and the dam was not there before the reclam- ation service put it there. Figures on the supply arc easily obtainab ble and the land under the project i- not controlled either by companies or by the reclamation service If the applicant for knowledge applies to r IT, Newell and sends in the clipping, A1r. Newell is likely to have a laugh ing spell that will last for some time
 It goes without saying however that as soon as this famous information of Captain smiths gets noised abroad there will be plenty of people willing tc wise him up on the Roosevelt dam.

Pioneer Band Concerts and Fine Signs for Ea $ t Washington Street - Make Best Lighted Sec tiOn in Country

Talk about being alive! The mcr- chants of East Washington street be- tween Center and the city hall are pretty much alive fl the excellent band concert given by the Pioneer band for them last night is any cli- erion. Early in the evening the PI- Cneer band assembled at the corner of Washington and Center and began d concert that was later finished. after two stops in between, at the Berryhill corner These concerts are to be given by the grace of the live merchants twice d week from this time on for the benefit of the public and incidentally so that the good people of Phoenix will not forget that there is much business that can be done on Washington street.
 This is only part of the propo- sitiOn. The advertising campaign thus begun will not stop there II pro poses to make that part of Washing ton street the best-lightcd in the country by means of the electric signs that will be put up. Already contracts have been signed with the r. G. &- F. company worth $2300 per month for power alone to furnish the lights for that block Unique features
 
 along this street.
 The Lightning Delivery, while off Washington street, has ordered a large electric sign the chief feature of which will be the jagged flashes of lightning that will traverse the face of the sign The whole will be in the form of a T with Lightning across the top, and Delivery in q horizontal position with the lightning flashing across the sign when the other lights are out. This will be so near Washington as to make it an integral part of the sign display there which has already been started by BOehmer's and Donofrios with their electric signs.
 A temporary band stand will also be erected in the alley between Dono- friOs and Hulett's Drug store upon which the band will give the free evening concerts.
 What is it all done for?

The street railway company is averse to double tracking First street but is willing to lay tracks upon three blocks of Monroe street joining with the Second avenue car in front of the Y. M C.
