where 1--WE are at" financially at all
times: and with the improved SER
vice all around, Montrose is nearing
the close of it's first year of City
Manager Commission Government
with the general conviction on the
part of our citizenship that we have
made a long stride in advance in city
government
The postmaster of Montrose, Co..,
A. F. Reeves, writes the following:
In reply to your communication
of the 18th inst, the Charter Form
of Government for the city of Mont
rose was entered into about one and
one-half years ago with a commits
sion of five, elected by the people;
they in turn selected city manager,
Mr.. P. w. Pinkerton, who is ener-
getic, well informed and successful
in managing the affairs Of this city.
We cannot too strongly recommend
this form of government for all those
towns and cities who desire their
funds economically expended, re-
ceiving therefor their full dollars
worth of time from those employed
by the city, and the advantage OF
reduced prices for materials purchas-
ed. The little enclosed extract from
the Montrose Enterprise speaks we'll
of itself and a copy Of the financial
statement is a further evidence OF
the good already accomplished"
In calling attention to this partic-
ular town of Montrose, Col, you will
notice that these various letters
speak very highly of the city mana
ger plan, and in conclusion l wish
to quote from "The Montrose Enter
prise" of Oct. Is, 1914, and Jan. 4,
1915, as follows:
Oct. IS, 1914: The first year of
the City Manager Commission Gov
eminent in Montrose will prove be-
yOnd peradVenture or DOUBT the WIS
dom of the city in adopting this plan
for the conduct of the government.
The announcement at the meeting
of the council last Thursday night
that the tax levy for the next year
would be reduced from eight and a
half mills to seven mills is one of
the straws which point to the sue
cess of the new plan.

Fireproof Clothes.

DR.. William H. Perkin, the English
chemist, has found a method Of max
ing cotton cloth absolutely freproof,
SO that it will not burn even when held
in a gas-1ame. One fireproof garment
was unframed by twenty washings,
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week.
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
f1reproof cloth costs about a penny q
yard more than untreated cloth.
Not only will this fireproofed mate
rial be found suitable for the manu-
facture of clothes for fremen. but it
may also be used by women for the
finest party dresses, the most deli
c~ately-colored fabrics being unframed
by the process and even given a softer
appearance. For children's clothes it
should be particularly desirable, since
It Is likely to prevent many accidents.

TORPEDO ATTRACTED BY SHIP
Nations Interested In Deadly Weapon
Said to Have been Recently
Designed by American.

It is said that, the b%elligerent ma
lions are much interested in the re-
cent invention by an American of a
torpedo which, according to it's maker,
is more effective than any other ever
used. By means of a magnetic cleo
trical device, which is affected by any
great mass Of metal, the rudders guild
ing the torpedo are also affected in
such a way that it will steer in that
direction. So sensitive is this device
that if the missile be discharged at
a ship at a range Of two or three or
even five miles that ship is doomed.
The torpedo has two arms Of nickel
silver attached on either side, pro-
jecting at right angles. At the ends
of these arms. are wire magnetic
coils, about four inches in diameter.
Upon these magnetic coils hinges the
success of the torpedo. A high-fre-
quency current passes through them,
and the presence of any great mass OF
metal charges the self-induction which
effects the electrical relays, and these
in turn operate the motor controlling
the rudder. So the torpedo will fol.
low its target, and will steer for it,
no matter how often the target may
cnange It's course or position.

Feel shortness of Flax.

The shortage of fax and faxseed
is a very serious matter for Ireland,
and to a question by Sir John Ions
dale, in the house of Commons, as
to what steps the government is TAX
ing to obtain a supply, Mr.. Russell
makes the following reply: "The De-
partment of Agriculture have fully rec
ognized the Importance of procuring
raw fax and faxseed for Ireland.
They have been, and are at present,
in communication on the subject with
the foreign office and with various
associations and persons in the north
of Ireland interested in the fax indus
try. A considerable quantity of fax.
seed has already been imported for
this years sowing, and the department
understand that more Russian seed
is on its way to Ireland. There APP
pears, however, to be difficulty in OBJ
tanning guarantees Of the nature re-
CURED by the Russian government in
regard to the destination of consign-
ments."

Mr.. j. M. Brown, professor of
civil engineering at the State Uni
versity, was in Scotland last Fri
day to look over the town and
make recommendations regarding
the installation of a sewer system.
He spent the afternoon looking oy-
er the city, in company with the
city officials, and in the evening
gave an address to a company OF
citizens explaining the various
systems of sewerage, and gave
some suggestions regarding the
most feasible system for this city
together with rough estimates OF
cost. He said the problem was
very simple for Scotland, as the
lay of the land and the opportunity
for an outlet was very favorable,
SO the cost would be very light as
compared with most towns of this
size. He strongly recommended
the installation of a plant not only
for convenience but for the sanitary
| effect as we'll.

VISIT SPRINGS TO STAY WELL
Health Resorts Are by No Means
Only for Those Who Are Sick
and Afflicted.

America possesses springs and
health resorts that equal any found
in Europe. American physicians in
every branch Of medicine are as
capable and efficient as those of any
other country. Our doctors are now,
more than ever, recommending hydro
therapy as a curative treatment for
many forms of disease. Gout, rheu-
matism, obesity, v and skin
diseases, malarial Infection, sciatica,
dyspepsia, liver and kidney diseases
and many other ailments are relieved
and often cured by the health-giving
properties of natural spring water
when used by the advice and under
the prescription of reputable physi-
clans. These treatments are not sole
~ for the sick and afflicted. Many
who are in the c~easeless activity Of
the business world or surrounded by
the humdrum existence and manifold
worries of household duties find rest,
relaxation and renewed vigor at any
of our health resorts, where the treat
ment is combined with a life SO care
free that 1t is in itself a tonic. The
outdoor exercise and wholesome
pleasure derived from a stay at any
OF the numerous springs make the
visitors sleep sounder, eat with a bet
ter appetite, laugh more and live
longer. Persons do not go to the
springs and baths only to get well, but
to keep well and have a good time
while thew are about If
Many of our great business men
and deepest thinkers make visits to
some spring or bath regularly and
take the treatment once or twice a
year, thus keeping in fine physical
condition. Some people have an idea
that these treatments are expensive,
but such is not the case.-Leslie's.

The last meeting for the year of
the Scotland Study Club was held
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. Koobs
last Friday evening and was in the
nature of q social. The regular
order for such meetings was revers-
ed aud the ladies furnished the en-.
tertainment while the gentlemen
furnished the refreshments. The
ladies performed their part we'll,
not only in the games that they
provided for the entertainment but
especially in the gameness which
they showed in partaking of the re-
freshments. They were assured
of safety through the inspection of
everything served, by the chairman
of the county board of health, and
they baked at nothing. They &C.
knowledged that they had received
a valuable lesson in the simplicity
of service.

Prehistoric Animal.

The American Museum Of Natural
History, in New York city, has recent
~ acquired the skeleton Of a new
dinosaur, which has been named Sau-
rolophus. the crested saurian." Mil
lions OF years ago this creature, which
was about thirty-two feet long and fif-
teen feet high, roamed the sands and
swan the marshes of the part Of Al
berta that is now trayersed by the Red
Deer river. 1t lived on grass and could
escape from the fesh-eating Alberto
saurus only by its rapid swimming.
Great numbers Of these dinosaurs
lived in the prehistoric coastal
marshes; paleontologists have found
the remain of several hundred speci-
mems washed out Of the bank of a
single quarry on the Red Deer river.
another set of bones found i'm the
same region is believed to belong to the
skeleton5o Of q still older species Of di-
rosaur, possibly an ancestor of sauro-
