FURTHER ACTION
!. 10 70 prevent FLOODS

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Secretary of
War Weeks today took favorable &C.
tron on a request from Mayor James
l.. Lovern of Pueblo for further sur
vey work at the flood city in develop
ing plan for preventing recur-
renee of flood.
The Pueblo mayor was not entirely
satisfied with the preliminary report
of reclamation engineers of the inter
Tor department.
The report recently submitted threw
much light on the situation. The re-
port itself explained that a more COM
prehensive survey would be necessary
before definite conclusions could be
reported.
Secretary of the Interior Fall, now
on trip to the Pacific coast, is ex-
pected to stop in Pueblo in the course
of three or four weeks to view the
Pueblo situation at close range.
The Colorado senators and represen-
tative Hardy, responding to a plea
from Mayor Lovern, today called on
Secretary Weeks for additional sur
vey work. Tonight they sent the fol-
lowing message to the mayor:
"We again called on Secretary
Weeks last week and laid before him
your request for further survey work.
We are pleased to inform you that
he will instruct Colonel Caples to con-
fer with you and will empower him
to proceed with preliminary survey
estimates of costs and to ascertain
best methods to adopt to protect
Pueblo citizens against future floods
We are given to understand that Sec.
rotary Of the Interior Fall, now on a
western inspection trip, proposes to
visit Pueblo before his return, when
you will have full opportunity to dis
cuss these matters with him person.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
PICNIC TUESDAY

1t takes more than little rain to
bluff out the Sunday schools of the
city when once they have made up
their minds to have picnic. Due to
the torrents which fell on the night
before Colorado Day, it became impos-
sible to hold it on that day as origin
ally planned but the committees from
the various Sunday schools have set
another date, and unless 1t rains again
they expect to hold the picnic on Tues
day, August IS.
The plans will be the same as before.
The picnic will be held in Noonan IS
grove, across the Roaring Fork, and as
before the committees are expecting to
furnish ice cream and lemonade to
those who attend. Everyone is asked
to bring enough lunch for himself, and
n wee bit for the other fellow who may
not have as much as you. The lunches
will be spread picnic fashion, and the
lunch hour set late enough so that peo-
pie working in the morning can get
there in time for dinner. Everyone is
also asked 10 bring his or her plate,
fork, cup and spoon, as the committee
cannot furnish these things for the
whole group.
Games have been arranged for young
and old, both morning and afternoon,
with prizes for the winners. Everyone
who wants to come is cordially invited,
whether he or she IL . member Of ono
Of the Sunday schools Of the city OF
not. All we ask Is that you forget
your grouches and troubles for one day,
and come prepared to have a good
time. 80 unless the weather man
plays tricks on US again and sends q
rain, We viii hold our joint Sunday
school picnic on Tuesday, August Is.
