ICE GORGES IN THE
ARKANSAS RIVER

A number of ice packs have been
formed in the Arkansas river near
the waterworks intake in the Royal
Gorge during the last few weeks and
have given the caretakers of the pipe
line considerable trouble, but have not
seriously interfered with the flow of
water through the conduit. About three
or four hundred yards above the in
take the river is very narrow and it is
is at that point that the ice bridges
chiefly occur. Sometimes these ice
dams pile up to height of seven or
eight feet and impound an immense
volume of water which can only be re-
leased by the use of explosives. Such
a gorge was formed there on Wednes
day and for short time greatly mini
mized the flow of water in the river
channel below it: necessitating the use
of dynamite to get rid of it.
Although floating, or slush. ice in
the river has been a menace to the
operation of the waterworks pipe line
has given the city authorities less
trouble this year than usual for the
reason that they have learned by ex,
perience how to handle the problems
arising in connection with the situa.
ton. The ice has been prevented from
clogging the intake this season by the
use of dynamite, which has been found
to be the only effective means of avoid
ing stoppage and con ,estion. For ne r,
ly two consecutive weeks in January
the temperature at the intake hovered
around zero.

ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The lecture given by Rev. C. T Ils-
ley at the First Baptist church Thurs-
day night on Abraham Lincoln attract
ed a fair-sizei audience and was a
mastery presentation of the life,
characteristics and achievements of
the great emancipator..
Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the
most versatile and commanding char
'cter in the public life of America and
his greatness and many sidedeness
wes brought out with unusual distinc t
nees and eloquence by the speaker
Thursday night.
The lecture was a splendid tribute
to the religious, moral, intellectual
and humanitarian qualities of the mar
tyred president and it is to be regret
ted that a larger assemblase was no,
present to hear il.
The lecture was given under the au
spices OF the choir and silver offer
ing was taken for its benefit. C. r
Tanner presided and introduced the
speaker.
A program of patriotic music was
rendered by the choir and a male quar-
tette. organized from among its mem
bers. The veterans OF Greenwood

ance at the lecture as special guests

why THE Y.M.C.A. IS
NOT SElF-SUPPORTING

The question is sometimes asked.
why the Young Mems Christian Ass.r
ciation Is not seifsupporting? And
the following is an outline OF some
OF the reasons why II would be imprac
ticable to place # on this sort OF n
basis.
The Association has found. after
years OF experience that one-third Of
the cost of maintenance could reason
ably be expected from dormitory rem
tails; one third from membership fees.
and one third from miscellaneous
sources, including subscriptions to be
secured from friends OF the work.
The. average fee charged for mem
bership In the Young Mems Christian
Association is as follows: S. for q
junior: IS for student. and from $40
to SIS for senior membership.
The cost of maintaining the work
averages about SIS per member and
this would have TO be the annual fee
charged to every man and boy who
Joined the Association II II we're piac-
ed on a self-sustaining basis.
II the work OF the Association Yves
to be self.supporting one OF two things
would have to be done. either to re-
duce expenses which would curtail
the members privileges and thus the
usefulness OF the organization. or TO
increase membership fees which would
reduce the number OF men who could
AFFORD to Join the Association and
which would mean to diminish the in
fluence and usefulness Of the organi-
zation in the building up Of strong
young manhood. and why should the
Association adopt either OF these al
ternatives when the judgment OF most
business men is that the present pei.
Icy is right. and that II comedies with
the policy OF the church. schools and
colleges.
Not college In the country could
exist II Its officers should decide that
no money could be spent other than
that paid by the student
Yale's expenses are 1863 per capita
per annum more than Its income from
, students; Hurvards pa0b; WillIams
t146: Ann Arbor $500.
These colleges serve many men from
families who are not able 70 pay tho

severe wounds.
1t seems that the dog. large collia,

weeks. Miss Kittell has driven the
dog away on several occasions, as 4
bothered the children in their play
Yesterday afternoon while instruct
ing class of the third grade, at about
three o'clock. the dog was becoming
a bother. and Miss Kittell. taking n
switch. started to drive the dog from
the grounds. He refused to go. and
instead. showed fight. lunging at har
and fastening his teeth in her arm.
Before she could free herself and
drive the animal away he had torn
both her arms and her breast. infiict-
ing quite serious wounds.
Miss Kitieli was hurried to the AK

O rmore and the announcement of his
death was not unexpected. Although
there had been periods during his ill
ness when he was unconscious and un-
able to recognize those about him
there was a rallying of his physical
forces towards the last which permit
ted him to greet his friends and at
PENDANTS and express his thanks an i
behalf.
Mr.. Keefe was born in Worcester.
Massachusetts, and was forty-eight
years of age. He came to Canon City
twenty-one years ago and soon after
wards took a position as steward of
st. Cloud hotel. A short time later
the hotel passed under the control of
the late Henry L. White and Mr.. Keefe
was installed as manager of the prop
erty. His connection with the hotel
continued for nearly four years, when.
through the influence of Mr.. White.
who was always a strong friend and
supporter vi tuc utCtdStus MI ENtclt
was appointed steward at the peniten-
tiary: an Office he held for sixteen
consecutive years to the eminent sat
isfaction of the various administra-
tion during that time.
Mr.. Keefe was married to Miss Eli
zabeth Holmes in this city fifteen
years ago. who survives to mourn his
demise. Besides the sorrowing wife,
Mr.. Keefe leaves sister in Massa-
chusetts and brother in Ohio. With
the exception of the brother mention
ed all his family kindred reside in the
New England states.
About year ago Mr.. Keefe was APP
pointed deputy warden at the peniten-
tiary as the successor of the late Al
len Jameson, position that came to
him as the result of civil service ex-
animation on the resignation of F. f.
Crawford, the present chief clerk at
the prison. who had no desire for the
deputy wardenship. In his new Office
and his career in that capacity prom.
ised to be one of great usefulness to
the institution. Ill health. however. in.
tervened and for many months prior
to his death Mr.. Keefe was unable to
give the attention to the position that
it required and its duties were tempo
rarily delegated to others: much to
his regret Chaplain Blake stated
this afternoon that as Deputy Warden
Keefe was courteous, efficient and well
liked, and, had his health permitted
him to discharge it's duties as he was
ambitious to do he would have made
an enviable reputation as an official
Mr.. Keefe was member OF Canon
City Camp No 1890, Modern woodmen
of America, and of Canon City Lodge
No. 619, B. P. o. Z. Although not a
charter member OF either OF these or.
sanizations he had been connected
with them for many years and was
held In high esteem by his associates
in both orders. Mr.. Keefe was Mt all
times pleasant and agreeable and had
many friends In the community who
will dsplore his death.
The funeral will take place from the
Klka iodss room at O'Clock next
nus1Ay afternoon and Will b. conduct.
