Among It's Precautions is to
Send Engineers into Mines

OF West Virginia who are constantly
reading stories of what is being done
by the railroads and manufacturing

in regard to greater safety at sea
seldom have called to their attention
the work which comes under this
mead in the coal mines of West r
glnia.
In order to obviate, so far as hu
humanity possible the post general
forms of mine dangers the operators
their engineers, superintendent anc
foremen- with the help and coop
grafton of the state mining depart
ment and the district Inspectors
have formulated rules which, e
lived up to, will reduce the number
of accidents, fatal and nonfatal, to
the lowest possible minimum.
Street regulations have been for
INFLATED in relation to timbering and
steps are being taken to enforce
these rules. The mining companies
are rnaking big allowances in money

One of the most trying annoyances of
housekeeping is the obstructions to the
free, quick outlet of waste water Of the
washstand, bathtub or kitchen sink
This is caused by the gradual accumula-
of small bits of refuse material
which check and finally entirely stop
the outflow of waste water.
A simple inexpensive method of clean
ing the pipe is as follows: just before
retiring at night, pour into the pipe
enough liquid potash (not soda) lye of
about 36 per cent strength to i'll the
trap" as it is called, or bent portion
tion of the pipe just below the outlet
The amount necessary will be from one
to two pints Be sure that no water
runs into it until the next morning.
During the night the lye will convert
all of the fat or grease into soft soap
and the first current Of water in the
morning will remove it entirely and
leave the pipe as clean as new.

On Saturday Mrs. Margaret c.

also bound over in the sum of $500 for
trial. The charge was embezzlement Of
$472.00. The shortage was made good

U|u ouEs Plentiful

Wild raspberries are ripe and very
plentiful if one may Judge from the
well filed pals of parties returning
from Taylor river and other berry
patches. The wet season has been very
favorable for all berries.
About the most successful garden
raspberries We have seen is small
patch some ten feet square in the yard
of Henry F. Lake in Gunnison. These
are yielding a quart a day of rasp-
berries, almost as sweet and lucious as
the famous wild berries ON the burnt
mountain sides
Mr.. Lake informs that these are
an unknown variety Of tame berry
which he secured from Charles Penning-
ton. They have been growing with
more or less success for some twenty
years here and he thinks have at last
caught up with the climate. Last win
ter they received no protection what
ever, and yet hardly froze back even
the tips. II is well known that in the
commercial berry districts of Loveland
and Canon City, laying down raspberry
canes and covering them is always
practiced, so that we see no reason why,
with proper handling, such small fruits
cannot be grown here.

TEN COMPLETE

On Tuesday the last of the s. new
street lights were connected up by
Freak keeaaa, superintendent of the
uusnicipal kght sni wstes plant, snd
thst night the current was a welcome
visitor in new quarters Of Gunnison.
Fifty of these lights are 60 Watt Tung-
stems. and Is of them are 100 Watt.
These are placed upon separate circuit
which can be switched off independently
of the main system, thus economizing
light when the moon is bright and on
clear nights and mornings, and, most
important of all, making it possible to
install day current.
Mr.. keenan, and his assistants have
been at the job steadily for three
months, and are to be congratulated
upon its early completion and success.
At the council meeting next Tuesday
night. complete details for the day cur
rent for Gunnison will be worked out,
and it is believed that this can be ar
ranged for by September first.
