CITY'S new SAND LOADER BEING
INSTALLED IN SAND CREEK

The fiveton motor truck purchased
by the city month or six weeks ago
for combined uses as a street sprinkler
and sand hauler is expected here
within the next few days and will be
put into commission at once. 1t will,
probably, first be used as water
sprinkler as there is no special de-
mand for its use as a sand hauler at
present The city is at present pay
ing S2Soo0 month for street sprink-
ling and is getting less than half the
service it will obtain in that way
from the motor truck, which viii
carry a thousand gallons of water in
its tank and will distribute the water
over a width of forty feet. Next fall
and winter when the necessity for
sprinkiing the streets is over. the
truck will be employed in hauling
sand on the streets and it is expected
TO put the roadways within the city
limits in better condition than they
have ever been in before.

that Pueblo and Ei Paso counties are
assisting Fremont county financially

outright to the county for that pur-
pose. Only few switch tracks and

tary of the Y. n. C. A. in Colorado.
arrived in Canon City on Tuesday
and remained here until the following
noon for the purpose of visiting the
penitentiary and studying the condi-
tidn of the prisoners. Messrs. Niwa
and Masutomi, who speak the Eng
1ish tongue excelleutly and are high
ly intelligent men. are making four
months tour of the United States With
the view Of familiarizing themselves
with the sociological status OF the
working people of this country. They
are en- route east from California and
expect to visit all of the more import
ont cities of the country. They were
very favorably impressed with what
they saw here. particularly with the
Y. NJ. c. A., which they said had one
of the best buildings and equipments
for moral and religious work of any
town OF its size that they knew any
thing about.
In Japan, according TO Mr.. Niws,
the Y.MCA. has a wider, field of
enterprise than il has in America and
supports orphanages and other kim
dred benevolences that are in this
country maintained thru private
munificence, or by public appropria-
about $4,000 members in Japan. OF
which 10000 belong to the railroad
branch. This total of $4,000 members
includes those belonging TO the organ
izations in Manchuria, Korea, and Ja-
pan. There are three national sec
Getaries; one for each of the countries
mentioned, and each is supreme in
his special department of labor.
Messrs. Niwa and Masutomi are in
the United States primarily to inquire
into the work being done by the va
rious railroad companies to solve the
problems, moral. physical and ma
terial. of their employees and to inves-
tigate the opportunities of the Rail-
road Y. M. c. A. to better their con-
ditions. They are highly gratified
with the courtesies extended them in
the prosecution of their studies.
Referring to the war Mr.. Niwa
stated that his country was in the
conflict to stay to the end .and that a
separate peace between Japan and
the Central powers was out of the
question. Continuing he said: I'VE
will not withdraw from the war until
fhe things the allies are fighting for
has been achieved. 1t is a war for
humanity and Japan will not sheathe
the sword until its purposes and
those of its allies have been attained.
Our army and navy is doing the part
assigned to it and will continue it as
long as the necessity lasts"
