City Bonds to Sell.

An offer to purchase the $4,000
water bond issue, voted by the people
last June at 6 per cent, was made to
the city board of trustees last evening
by Wilson, Cramer Company, bond
buyers of Denver, Colorado.
The bond issue as sanctioned by the
people, stipulated the sale of the bonds
at a rate of not less than 51a per
cent. Later the board authorized the
bonds to be sold at 51a per cent and
advertised for bids. The condition Of
the money market was such at thai
time that no bids were received and the
bonds have remained unsold.
Mr.. Cramer of the bond dealers, ap-
peared before the board and stated
that he had been in the valley for some
time looking over existing conditions,
and learning that the Ell Centre bonds
were still unsold desired to purchase
such, providing that their legal depart
ment passed favorably on the abstract
of procedure.
Although the board has by ordi-
nance fixed the issue at 5h per cent,
City Attorney Larew stated to the
trustees that they could by another
ordinance fix the rate at six per cent:
thereby resembling the FIRST measure.

War Department
Abolishes Spies
By Burton X. Standish.
Written for the United Press)


Washington, Jan. 2s.-The military
spy, so far as the United States is
concerned, has been relegated to the
discard. The secret service agents
employed by the treasury department,
the secret agents and investigators
employed by the Department OF JUS
tice and the Postoffce and State de-
partments, and men of the same rank
employed by the Departments of La
Dor and Commerce on white slave
work, labor Investigations, and to fer
ret out customs frauds, Of course, are
still on the payrolls. But the old spy
system in vogue with the War de-
partment, and so much written about
in song and story, is relic of the
past, according to officials of this
branch of the government.
This fact, which undoubtedly will
prove disconcerting to the novelists
and romance writer's, came out when
estimates of the War department, re-
Gently published for 1914, failed to
carry an appropriation for military
spies" Battle-scarred war generals
and majors, upon being questioned

Aphis at Work.

County Horticultural Commissioner
F. w. Waite's office is being beseiged
by farmers who are placing orders for
a supply of Lady Birds to turn loose
in their fields to combat the aphis. 1t
is the consensus of opinion among the
ranchers that the aphis are in the bar
ley fields this year in greater quanti-
ty than ever before and they are anx-
ious that the state department senC

Company No. 3 awarded Saturday to
Thomas O'Brien one of the largest
contracts for lateral canal work ever

10 days and finish within 80 days from
the time of beginning. The price
ranges from six to ten cents yard.
Two caterpillars will be used tc
draw big subsoiler, and Fresnos will
be used to finish. The No. 8 company
will build the structures.
By early summer much of the No.

if the present rate of construction i:
kept up.
Water stock has been purchased fol
the several townsites ana these pro
jects will be rushed in advance of the

regarding this omission several days
ago, furnished the further interesting
fact that during 1913 not a single
military spy" was employed as such.
In discussing the passing Of the
military spy, one of the "desk gen.
erals" at the War departments SOL
dier, by the way, who has seen his
share of active service lodging bull
lets-was led to the observation that
''times amt what they used to be"
in matters pertaining to the science
of war. He pointed out the fact that
the next war between two world pow
ers will find no small amount of fight
ing both high in the air and under
the oceans surface, by virtue of the
near-perfection of the aeroplane and
dirigible, and the submarine.
"The battlefield of the future" said
the old ''war dog" whose feats are
known to everyone who has read late
histories of the United States, "will
present a vastly different scene from
what it did ten or even five years ago.
The famous kicking army mule has
gone the way of the military spy

Because the styles in whiskers anc
congressmen have changed so rapid
lv-the former to answer Dame Fash
ion and the latter to answer politi'
cal contingencies-a new "rogues' gal
lery" of the House of Representa-
tives is being compiled by Sergeant
alarms Gordon and Elliot Woods,
superintendent of the capitol.
Each representative is contributing
to the "rogues' gallery" one recent
photograph. The photos of all men,
bers will be mounted in huge display
frame hung in the ergeant-at-arms'
office. The collection of representa-
tives' photographs has been called the
"rogues' gallery" for years. Osten-
sibly the photographs are for identi-
fication purposes on congressional pay
days. The old collection of photo
graphs showed many members wear
ing whiskers who are now clean shaw
en- and vice versa. The Democratic
sweep last year also changed the
membership to a large extent and
the sergeant-at-arms insists upon hav-
ing a new, up-to-date Photographic
collection.

Representative Bartholdt of Mis-
souri, talks with a decided German
accent and, like most of those who
do, has decided likes and dislikes. One
man in politics, whose name is unim'
portant, had the misfortune to fall
into the class of those who enjoyed
the cordial dislike of the Missourian.
Recently this man was appointed to
a post in the consular service in an
obscure European country. A friend
who knew of the appointment said to
Bartholdt:
Il see your friend has been sent to
