Salt Lakers Give
The Lowest Bid ON
Asylum Contract

BOISE, Idaho.--Bids OF twenty
contractors. were opened Friday IN
the Office Of the commissioner ,oi
public works for the criminal ward
and receiving hospital to be built al
the insane asylum At Blackfoot. All
were taken under consideration
pending the return Of Commissioners
w. J. Hall and p. L. Neil, both Of
whom are away from the capital.
On the face Of the bids the lowest
is that Of H. w. Baum Of Salt Lake,
the contractor who erected the build
ings at Camp Pike, KY. early In the
war. His offer was $93.800 for both
buildings complete, and he offered to
reduce this by $500 II he were
awarded the contract for the new
hospital building at Oro1no.
The second lowest appears to be
that Of F. w. Spencer Of Salt Lake,
$93.900 for both buildings complete.
Eleven of the bids were for the
contract of both buildings and six
were for plumbing and heating only.
The best Of these seem to be by the
T. e. Thomas company, Salt Lake,
$12,700 for both buildings.

the committee will all be behind the

marked contrast with the treatment
that different reclamation matters

remains only to educate the east suf-

Much remains to be done, of

PUEBLO COLORADO
FLOODED FRIDAY
Causes Great Loss Of
Life and Property
Dam Broke Sunday

Property loss Of $8,000,000 Il
| $10,000,000 and q loss Of life O
probably 500 people in Pueblo, Colo
Is the result Of q cloudburst on thu
upper reaches o fthe Arkansas and
Fountain rivers Friday. Warning
was sent to the residents, but few
people left their homes and by !
o'clock that afternoon water was
running down the streets. At z
o'clock that evening the Arkansas
river leaped it's banks and people
were caught on the treets and in
their cars. The cars were abandoned
when the people rushed from the
flood and they knocked together,
went thru plate glass windows,
turned over and over until broken
to pieces.
Late Friday night and Saturday
morning fires broke out in oil tanks
and among other inflamable ma
terials. The flames were fed by the
wreckage of houses and other COM
bustible material.
The dead are number at so, but
according to refugees this number
is exaggerated. The known dead
number eighteen and eight persons
are missing. Refugees arriving in
Colorado Springs tell of the food
and it's devastation. One man tells
of wall Of water five feet high
striking a rooming house, where he
was staying and that he was later
taken off the roof Of the house in a
row boat. Women tell of driving
their car form Pueblo to Colorado
Springs owed washed out roads, i'm
provised bridges, along railroad
tracks and thru ploughed fields.
Yesterday Pueblo was again inun-
dated when dam on the Fountain
river near Colorado Springs broke.
At o'clock yesterday morning the
water was receding and danger from
q second flood was thought to be
passed.
Supplies for the destitute have
been sent to Pueblo from many cities
thruout the country.

Air Temperatures
Form Water Spouts y
When Currents Meet

A waterspout Is formed by the
| meeting of currents of air that are
of different temperature and start
ing circular or Willing movement
that draws up vapor from the surface
of the water. Az the vapor rises in
the whil It increases the suction, and
foam and the water itself joins In
the upward draft. Like the whirling
Of children who join hands in cir
Gle, the weight and velocity Of the
forces engaged, keep gathering un-
til 1t breaks at some weak point and
there is spill, and a deluge of rain
and hail follow. The pressure OF
currents in the whirl and the .expan-
sion when it breaks, makes heat and
releases 1t in contact with cooler air
and moisture, and that increases the
condensing that makes the rain from
the vapor. II large amount Of
water has been lifted, that increases
the downpour when the ring breaks
and 1t Is scattered by the expanding
currents Of air. The sudden cooling
in some layers of air freezes the dops
o sheets Of waite and 1t descends in
hail o Jumps of ice. A Will operat-
ing on land and not coming in con-
tact with any moisture necessarily
develops only into q. whirlwind, or
If 1t gathers some moisture or only
a small amount Of water 1t makes
smaller sprinkle accordingly when 1t
breaks. The difference in the, tenn
perature of the air currents meet
ing in the whil determines the force
Of the whirl at first, but this Is modi-
fed later by the moisture drawn into
1t.
A cloudburst does not necessarily
accompanied by the meeting of air
develop the whirling action. but it is
currents Of varying temperature, and
there follows a condensing OF vapors
which they cary. II the crondensing
is all done in small territory and the
