reception the invaders received and their

Goat trained himself for his future

POLLUTION
OF RIVER
STARTS A
FIGHT BY
CHAMBER
ORE MILL ON CHALK CREEK,
NEAR BUENA VISTA, SENDS ITS
TAILlNGS INTO THE ARKANSAS
RIVER, CAUSING BAD WATER.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO Be NOTIFIED

The Arkansas river is being pol
luted by the tailings and slime from
an ore mill situated on Chalk creek
between Buena Vista and Salida.
There is another mill in the same To-
cality under construction. which will
soon be doing the same thing
The Chamber of Commerce at their
meeting Monday night took this mat
ter up and discussed it.
A few years ago there was a placer
outfit in the Twin Lakes region which
did the same thing. making the water
of the Arkansas so filthy that it could
be used for no purpose except irri-
eating The matter was fought out in
the courts for years by Canon City,
Salida and Pueblo. with the result
that finally a permanent injunction
against the Twin Lakes Placer Mining
company was obtained
At the Chamber Of Commerce meet
ing last night the preliminary steps
were taken to stop the nuisance il
possible. Salida and Canon City have
tentatively agreed to make the fight
against the milling company and il
necessary the aid Of Pueblo and other
towns affected will be asked
As the FIRST step in the night Presi-
dent Hardy OF the chamber and A.
H McLain were appointed as a COM
mittee to select a suitable committee
to present the matter to the attorney
general and also to the state game
and FISH commission. If they refuse
to take any action then undoubtedly
the matter will be taken to law.
If the pollution of the waters con-
tinue very much longer ali the eff
forts of the Chamber OF Commerce
/ fish committee TO stock the Arkan-
sas river with trout will go for naught
For this reason and for the fact that
such polluted water does not make
the best drinking water on earth, even
when filtered. the fight will be a
strong one
This time there is considerable adj
vantage because OF the victory secur-
ed in the first fight and it is hoped
that the attorney general or the state
game and fish commission will be able
to do something. predicated on the
former decision. to have the pollution
stopped without court battle.

Shall Railroad Valuation Be
Taken Away From the Outside
Counties and Given to Denver?

xer. ~ aszer share OF railroad valua-
ton. the voters of Denver can unite
and defeat them in the election
Any change in the distribution OF
the railroad valuation which would re-
duce such valuation in the counties
outside of Denver would result in an
increase in the taxes TO be paid by
other property. AS this proposed plan
of distribution according to terminal
values would reduce the railroad valu-
alton in all counties save Denver, it
would mean generally higher taxes.
This is especially true of school taxes.
there being a number of districts in
which the railroad valuation is over
T5 per cent of the total and the COM
pany therefore pays approximately
ihree-fourths of the taxes. Except in
Denver. therefore, vote for the aboi.
ition OF the tax commission is a vote
for higher taxes.
Since the Denver crowd will attempt
to get resolution adopted in the party
assemblies endorsing the petition to
abolish the tax commission 1t is proper
that the delegates from outside coun-
ties be advised of the true meaning
of such action.-Pueblo Chieftain.
