Tc Make a Barrel Filter.

A fine, unsettled cask must be used for making filter. Other necessaries are a piece of fine brass wire cloth and Q coarser wire cloth, each of a size sufficient to make a partition across the barrel. The coarser wire cloth Is placed under the brass wire cloth to support it, and under both light cross frame of oak, to keep the wire from sagging. These are placed about three-quarters down the barrel and se' curely fastened in position. Then fill in upon the wire cloth about three inches in depth of clear, sharp sand then two inches of finely-broken char coal without any dust. Then on the charcoal place four inches of clear sharp sand. Fill up the barrel with water, and draw from the foot. where faucet has been inserted.

GRATED Friday for the Republican

green and red. Fir trees were arrang
ed around the fire places in the lobby
and on the trees were small red bells
and paper poinsettias. giving a very
pretty effect. At each of the windows
hung Christmas wreaths and poin-
settias and large Christmas bells were
suspended from the ceiling about the
room. The dining hall was decorated
in a much similar manner Another
room which was prettily decorated
was that of f. Payson Viles. Wreaths

DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION GIVEN
FULL POWER

Late Saturday afternoon the repub-
lican county convention completed its
labors. having selected a delegation
to attend the state convention at
Santa Fe. The representatives of
San Miguel county will be left to
their own judgment in voting for a
republican congressional candidate,
the county convention having decided
to send an uninstructed delegation.
The convention was in session dur
ing practically the entire day and was
a harmonious gathering of republi-
cans. There is every evidence that
the republican party in San Miguel
county will enlist this fall the unani-
nous support Of all it's members as
well as big vote from the ranks of
the democrats, progressives and inde-
pendents. Judging from the senti-
ment expressed at the San Miguel
county convention and at similar
gatherings in all the subdivisions of
the state, there is little doubt but

LABOR FEDERATION
TO enter POLITICS
COLORADO WORKERS MAY EN-
DoRSE CANDIDATES FOR
STATE OFFICES

Pueblo Colo, Aug. 17-With the
appointment of committees and read
ing of reports the annual convention
of the State Federation of Labor was
convened here this morning. The
chief business of the early session was
the receiving of the reports of John
McLennan, president, and William
Hickey, secretary of the organization.
A good sized delegation is present
from the southern Colorado coal fields
and that some action bearing on the
Colorado coal strike will be taken by
the convention is freely predicted.
Such action, it is believed, may take
the form of endorsing candidates for
state offices known to be favorable
to the coal strikers.
