HALF BILLION MORE FOR SHIPS
SUM TO BE ASKED OF CONGRESS
f AT ONCE.
Building of 100000 Tons In Eighteen
Months. Instead of 100000 Is Plan
Now Being Considered.

Washington July 10-Another appro-
priation of half a billion dollars for
shipbuilding probably will be asked
OF Congress Immediately by the admin
istration. Contracts already let and
about to be closed, the shipping board
announced, have absorbed the first
$500, 000, 900.
President Wilson's approval for the
program is yet to be obtained, but it
Is understood the President Is in full
sympathy with officials who believe the
Allies cannot win the war unless ev.
cry is used to construct a
great American merchant fleet.
First Estimates Exceeded.
First estimates of 5000, 900 tons con.
.struction within Is months will be far
exceeded IL the plans of the shipping
board and Major General Goethals are
carried. The present aim is to build
at least 5,000,0 900 tons dead weight of
shipping In addition to vessels al.
ready under construction for private
account which will be taken over by
the government. The second sum ask.
ed may be used largely for wooden
construction.
General Cocktails attitude towards
wooden ship construction still is
somewhat in doubt, but recent reports
have indicated that he is favoring a
larger wooden ship program.

Hot Springs Hotel

The city council will meet in
special session next Monday even

Thursday evening the hotel COM
pany was represented by Attorneys
Kelly and Warwick NJ. Downing of
Denver, and Attorney Fred Collom,
Rens E. Schirmer, Joseph Meyer

by reason of special concession
granted by previous council.

Much Activity Now In
The Geneva District

w. B. Jacobs has returned from
the Geneva mining district in the
western end of the county, where
he has been engaged in develop
ing some valuable property of
which he is the owner. The Star.
one of his clai ms, shows large
streaks of solid lead and green
carbonates of copper, which with
the high silver values makes very
desirable and prof table production.
The intention now is to operate
this property during the coming
winter, when a large production
may be looked for.
Mr.. Jacobs reports much activity
in the entire district, new con-
centrating mill for the Sill prop
erty being among the new i'm
provements. ...
Rebel Brothers of Silver Plume
are the lucky leasers on the Rev.
enue lode, which in the early days
returned nearly 100000. Their
streak varies from one to two feet
of ore, which without being sorted
brings at the smelters over 3OC
ounces per ton in silver, with lead
and small percent in gold.

Scenic City Camp In
Clear Creek County

After having conducted touring
parties for years to various scenic
sections of the west, including
Yellowstone park, Yosemite, south
ern California and Catalina Island,
DIR. W. G. Gates of Bucyrus, Ohio,
picked out a beautiful spot in
Clear Greek county, in the noun
tains above Silver Plume, for the
establishments of Scenic City Camp
where tourists can have all the
pleasures of camping in the bracing
atmosphere of two mile elevation,
and yet have the comforts and con :
veniences of first class hotel, with
good eats, warm comfortable beds
and easy access to mails, telegraph
and railway service.
The hotel has already been con-
structed and is in charge of the
man who formerly conducted the
Halfway house on Pixies Peak.
A rate of S3 per day is charged,
or $17 so per week. Slab cottages
are being constructed, and a num-
Der of Kenyon knock down houses
provide for the further accomod-
alton of the guests. You can
hunt, or fish for trout, climb noun
tains, or sit around and rest, Just
as you like. The camp is not
located down in valley, where
you can only look up, but is on
high spot where you can look
into Leavenworth canon or up
Clear creek or down Clear Greek.
The towns Of Empire, Silv r
Plume and Georgetown are before
you, and at night the view of the
electric lights in these mining
centers is beautiful beyond des-
cription.
It is DIR. Gates plan to later
establish camps at Golden, Idaho
Springs and Georgetown, along
the plan Of the YeIlowst one Park
Camping company, SO tourists
may stop a while at each place or
select the elevation and camp that
suits them best.
Saturday evening of this week
the Colorado & Southern officials
in Denver will take trip to Scenic
City camp to stay over Sunday.
J. M. johnson, the tailor of Idaho
Springs, was the first man from
here this season to spend a vaca-
ton at Scenic City, and he is loud
in his praises of the place.

by Charles L. Sauer, has pur-
chased the lumber stock and mill
of the John Walch Lumber COM

than heretofore. There is a big
demand for mining timbers and
Charles Sauer is determined to
skim some of the cream from the
business.

HOUSE ACCEPTS
insurance. BILL
Measure Abandons Old Pension
Theory; Rate Is So Per-
Thousand.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-By a
vote of 319 to the house passed the
soldiers, sailors and army and navy
nurses war insurance bill. It is now
being considered by senate COM
mittee.
This measure breaks new ground
by abandoning the old pension theory
during the present war and estab-
fishes fixed sums for disabilities, as
is the case with workmen's compen-
sation.
Another feature provides that the
government will furnish life insur-
ance for soldiers, sailors and nurses
at the rate of IS per $1,000, up to
$4,000. This section was opposed by
private life insurance companies and
the committee reduced the amount of
insurance to $4,000, which the house
refused to accept. If during the first
100 days after enlistment a soldier or
sailor fails to take insurance and dies
he will be considered insured and
the benefits will go to his dependents.
All soldiers and sailors will be re-
quired, under regulations which will
be prescribed bye the government, to
allot to their families specified part
of their salaries. In no instance will
it be less than SIS a month. The gov
eminent will pay to dependent fami-
lies amounts equal to the allotment
made by the soldier or sailor, but the
governments allowance shall not ex-
coed SIS a month.
Under family aid, the following
payments are made while the soldier
mr. sailor is in war service.
TO wife, SIS month; with one
child, $25; with two children, $3.50;
each additional child, IS.
To a motherless child; IS a month;
two children, $12.50; three, $40; four,
$50; each additional child, IS.
One parent, $40; two, $50; for each
dependent brother, sister or grand
child, IS.
A divorced wife may receive an
amount not to exceed her >alimony.
In case of death or total disability
the allowances are as follows: To
widow, SIS a month; with one child,
$45; with two children, $3.50, and
IS. for each additional child up Ito
four. To motherless child, $50; two
children, $35: three, $45; and SO for
each. additional child up to five until
they attain the age of Is years. To
widowed mothers, $50.
If there is no widow, motherless
child receives $40; two children, $35;
three children, $45, with $40 for each
additional child.

WAGES OF STREET
CAR MEN LOW
u. S. Probe Sho,os 90 Per
Cent Of Men Get Under
81 Cents an Hour.

According to bulletin 204 just issued
by the federal bureau of labor statis-
tics, 10 per cent of the regular mo-
in the larger cities of the United
States in 1914 earned under "a cents
per hour, "a per cent earned under
26 cents, 43 per cent under :2S cents,
81 per cent under 80 cents, IS per cent
under 30 cents, and SO per cent under
81 cents.
These figures are drawn from a
study of 101 companies in 81 cities,
Nearly all companies have sliding
scale of wages for motormen and
conductors, based. on length of SER
vice. The annual increase generally
is about / cent an hour and some
companies continue such increases for
10 or more years.
AS a rule conductors are paid the
same rate of wages as the motormen.
The length of service for conductors,
however, does not average SO high as
for motormen. OF the regular con-
ductors working for the same CON-
panies 10 per cent earned under "a
cents per hour, 33 per cent earned
under 26 cents, 81 per cent under %
cents, 81 per cent under 80 cents, S8
per cent under 80 cents, and 80 per
cent under "a cents.
Extra motormen and conductors
take the place of regular men when
absent or take such irregular service
as the company may have to offer.
Their wage rates are lower than the
rates of regular men who have been
in service longer time.
