pleted as fine an arsenal as is to be found anywhere in the world, was anxious to equip it with the best kind of apparatus ana machinery used in making guns not large guns, but modern rifles similar to those with which the leading armies of the world are now equipped. Naturally the disposition in high circles in Great Britain was strongly in favor of the award of the contract to manufacturers of appa- ratus of this kind in Great Britain. There was feeling of fellowship between Eng land and Australia. and it was possible to utilize this disposition, although no un- fair use of it was made.
 Germany in Competition
 The German manufacturers of ma chinery and apparatus used in making army rifles were also very anxious to se- cure the award of this contract The competition which was established be- tween the American industry and the Ger man and British industries of this kind was prolonged, but it was conducted upon honorable competitive methods.
 In the great works at Hartford there had been perfected apparatus available for army rifle manufacture whose work seemed almost marvellous. The apparatu tus required, after it was set up and put into operation. a minimum amount of labor to operate it.. It seemed almost as though the machine knew what it was doing when out of crude material it turned out a practically perfected rifle.
 Apparatus of this kind was sent to Lon don and demonstrators of it were sent from Hartford so that they might show to the Australian authorities the perfection Of the apparatus and the ease and sim picity almost of it's operation. Germany also sent German-made apparatus of this kind. as did the manufacturers of yGreat Britain. Patient and ong-continued dem onstration of the machine was made and

deficit In government finances and
that any prediction OF one was a
dream based on wishes springing from
political antagonism.
In an analysis of the governments

the total receipts Of the government for
the fiscal year ending June 80 would
aggregate $733. 100000, leaving sur
plus Of $30.000,0OO and that with only
a half years operation of the income
tax.
That did not include Panama expen-
ditures, estimated at $4,000. 900. Next
year, he declared, Panama expendi-
lures would practically pass away and
the canal receipts would pay running
expenses.
Underwood's speech was In support
OF the Senate's amendment to the leg
islative appropriation bill to increase
the treasury fund for collecting the
income tax from 100000 to $1.6o0.-
600. which the House finally agreed to.
Underwood explained that the increase
was for the collection OF the income
tax from persons and corporations
trying to evade 1t. 10
For next year." he predicted. I'VE
can be assured Of collecting more than
500, 00O. 900 from the income tax even
II no more proportionately is collected
than was collected this year. and more
proportionately will be collected"
Underwood said customs receipts
were producing the current year $22.-
100000 more than the administration
had expected. and that the Treasury
Department had reported to him these
figures OF the total revenues for the
current year Just ending:

Creek cafion any time that Commits
sfoner Of Properly Otto Thum gives
him the order. The cost Of the ten
miles Of road. - estimated by Warden
lyman, will be about $500 mile in
stead Of 5000 d mile. estimated by
the city Officials.
Warden lyman had gang OF bis
men at work ON that road two years
ago and was building an excellent
highway when the commissioners Of
Jefferson county made him withdraw
his men, although the small expense
which they entailed was being paid by
citizens OF that locality.
The road is the southern entrance
to Denver's mountain parks and is the
only water grade highway leading to
them. 1t Is road over which every
tourist will want.to travel, whether in
an automobile OF horse-drawn We
hicle. The scenery along the road Is
second to none. but at present 1t Is
too narrow in many places to permit
vehicles to pass each other.
BY having Tynan's convicts build
the road the city will save nearly $42.-
600. the difference between $4,000
and $4,000. -Qt
Mr.. lyman stated that: II would
rather build that road than any other
road in the state because 1t would be
a monument to our penitentiary work
and would cause much favorable COM
ment from both our own people and
the Thousands Of tourists who would
pass over It."
