The task on which the men are nov
employed is the heaviest that ha.
been encountered since the beginning
of the undertaking

of the undertaking is to increase ths
carrying capacity OF the ditch and acd

The new ditch begins at the north

A part OF the excavation was in the
solid rock, which had to be cut TO n
depth Of twelve or fifteen feet below

was the, installation OF a concrete

The regular bi-monthly speiiinl

Monday and remarkable showing

excellence was made at the examinn
tons this week.
The spelling was both oral and wri;

two hundred and ninety-seven pupils
spelled every word correctly and twsn.
ty-six classes made an average Of less

en- ciasses containing several hundred
children, took part In the contest.

IRF gQVERI0R'S MEs SL6E


The massage OF Goliernor Carlson,
which was read to the, house and
senate yesterday. should be read lN
every resident. of the state. 1t deals
with those things which the governor
feels are essential to the future wel=
fare of Colorado. Those who wers
expecting Goyrnor Carlson to lash
somebody will be disappointed. The
governor used the wise discretion OF
discussing pending matters without
prejudice, without criticism but with
view of securing the best results
possible for the state during the re-
mainder of the legislative session.
II took a tip from your editorial,
sit Steady in the Boat and followed
Its suggestion, said the governor t.
Chieftain man yesterday, This IS
the time when every man connected
with the legislative department should
sit steady in the boat" concluded Coz
ernor Carlson.
With that idea in view he discussed
the revenue. showing that the state
must manage its affairs on about 5000.
600 less than it did during the last
biennial period. He asked the mem.
bers of the assembly TO govern them
selves accordingly. He called atten-
ton to the crimes that had been com
mitted under the initiative and refe--
endum and to the unnecessary cost
and asked the members to propose an
amendment TO the constitution whiei-
would distribute the signatures ovei
the entire state He believes the board
OF capitol managers has completed Its
work and that the care of the build
ing should now be turned over to the
regular executive officers. He believes
that the money owed to the internal
Improvement fund by the board OF cap
itol managers should be returned 10
that fund in order that the roadi
OF the state may be improved through
its expenditure this summer. He he
lieves that county clerks should do
the work now being done by public
trustees. He recommends that the
game and fish warden and the agents
of the humane society should be abo.-
ished and that their work be done hs
the sheriff.
He strongly urges that the houSe
and senate conduct a complete inyes
tigation into the cost OF each depart
ment with view Of reducing those
expenses. He calls It survey Of state
expenditures. He believes the pro
posed Burris constitutional amenl
ment for the short ballot should lie
submitted to the people. Under this
amendment the governor would have
complete control OF the entire execu-
tive department OF the state. H<
urges the creation OF the industriA.
relations commission and the estah-
lishment Of the workingmen's com
pensation.
The above are the principal fca-
lures OF his mesage. Its wording and
the manner Of the delivery shorld hays
the effect OF doing just what he sald
he wanted 1t to do. Cause every man
connected with the state government
to sit steady in the boat" There IS
nothing in II to which any man conlf
take offense. There is much in I'll
which will be a help to the members
Of the legislature in further consider
ing their work.-Pueblo Chieftain-
