LIGHT COMPANY
STARTS BUILDING
Will Resume Work in 10 Days
(. on Million Dollar Pow
er Plant

A decision of utmost Importance rel
ative to the rebuilding of Pueblo was
reached recently by the Arkansas Val
ley Railway, Light & Power company
when it was decided to complete tile
work on the new million dollar power
plant at d and Lamkin streets, dis
continued at the time OF the flood.
The construction will be resumed in
about 10 days. according to w. r.. Ra-
Der, general manager of the concern.
From SO to 50 men will be put to
work completing the erection of the
steel frame which was about one-third
finished on June 3 when the work was
stopped. Since then the concern has
delayed the work until definite reassur-
ance could be had that the flood pre-
vention plans would protect the new
plant. The future of the city was also
undecided at that time In the minds OF
tho company's officials. and the re-
sumption of activities on tho large
structure will be heralded by Pueb-
loans as a mark of confidence in the
rebuilding of the city. and will doubt
less cause many merchants to con-
tinue, with their own building pro-
grams.
lThe superintendent of construction
will leave shortly for the east relative
to the building plans and upon his res
turn tho work Is expected to continue.

Their arguments. briefly stated, were

Second.-That the American Con.

the establishment of a stable govern

BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by young Filipino by the name
OF Jose p. Nelencio. He has charge of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
he Is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools OF the Philipplnes-under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown, D. O.
He Is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without trace of en-
barrassment he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonlshed at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment OF
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned 10 the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as II he bad
taken weeks to prepare his answer. II
was remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise Of indie
pendence I was proud OF this illustra-
Ion OF what the Filipino Is capable.
