INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
BILL BECOMES LAW

The Interior department appropria-
tion bill for the coming fiscal year,
which contains several items of par
ticular interest to the state of Colo
rado, has been signed by President
Harding.
Several matters were in dispute be-
tween the house and senate, but the
senate conferees succeeded in retaining
the appropriations advocated by Sena-
tor Phipps for the maintenance and
improvement of our two national
parks, the Rocky Mountain and Mesa
Verde. The total sum allotted for the
former was $4,000 lin place of$59 900
recommended by the house,, while
Mesa Verde received $4,000. This
VIII enable the building of about four
miles of much needed entrance road
way, and it is believed that the con-
structfon of the necessary improve
ments will bring many additional Wis
tors to Mesa Verde from all parts of
the country.
The amount set aside for the opera
ton and maintenance of the Uncom-
pahgre reclamation project in Mont
-ose and Delta counties was $235, 900.
The Grand Valley project near Grand
Junction was allotted $44000O, which
includes provision for the taking
over of the so-called Orchard Mesa
init by the U. S. government.

in the purchase of heavy truck and
body for the city was ordered.
This is a truck which the State
Highway commission secured from the
federal government, and although
somewhat weather beaten it is said to
be practically new, and it is furnished
to the city for just what the commits
sion paid in freight from the factory
to Denver. The steel box is being or
dered separate from the truck.
The board ordered concrete cross
ing over Ninth street, extending from
The Schwarz sidewalk to connect with
he Junior High school property.
city Engineer Rosenberg claims that
the city plumbing ordinance has been
greatly abused by the plumbers Of the
c'tv, and says one of the plumbers
has not yet furnished bond as pro-
vided by the ordinance, although or
dered to do so. The contention was
discussed at some length, there being
some claim that there is n conflict
between the state and the city plumb
ing laws, but Attorney Beardsley says
this is not the case. From the discus
sion indulged in it is very evident
that the ordinance will be enforced in
the future.
The matter of the placing of bill
boards over the city was discussed at
some length, the aldermen expressing
themselves rs opposed to the indis-
crimnate placing of these unsightly
affairs, and the matter is to be taken
care of in new building ordinance
that $ now being prepared.
The tramp problem came in for n
share Of the discussion, and Marshal
Richardson was interroPated on the
conditions prevailing at present. There
was considerable talk in favor of IL
municipal rock pile or wood yard for
the entertainment of the army of hos
who appear to be altogether too well
pleased with our climate
II. v. Davis and G. c. Canady, on

In addition to Free berries and pool
there will be, to commence the day, a
giant parade. This promises to be
something to be remembered, and you
should be here early. California Frank,
with his entire aggregation of kicking,
bucking, jumping cayuses, will lead
the parade. Autos, beautifully dec
grated, flots representing our indus
tries, civic bodies, Boy Scouts, radio
system in full operation, are some of
the features.
Immediately after the refreshments
have been served, the children's g pa
rade and fun will commence. Mis-.
Rothwell, our community nurse, will
give an elaborate and interesting pro
gram, featuring a number of Juvenile
fairy stories. 1t is intended that all

the sports of grownups shall be
amused and cared for by competent
nurses on the Hotel Colorado grounds,
which Mr.. Lucas has kindly offered
for that purpose. This parade will
start from where the refreshments are
served. This arrangement, it Id
thought, will relieve the parents of D

chance to enjoy the afternoon sports
on the ball grounds.
On the grounds, California Frank
will give his thrilling exhibition of

Beloved Man Withdraws.

The Tribune is not alone in its feel
ings of regret FER the decision of DR..
w. M. Gratiot to retire from practice
in Mineral Point. Regret penetrates
the homes of our city and those for
many miles around.
DR.. Gratiot's skill as physician and
surgeon is not by any means all there
was to his credit. He was faithful, he
was kind, considerable. sympathetic,
and these grand qualities established in
old and young believing feeling for
him that will never die.
AS citizen he was patriotic and lib
eral-as good as the best in every way.
We wish for him and his the richest
blessings possible for mankind.
