VOL. XVI. Denver U Water C ITS SANITARY FILTERING THE LETTER BELOW M AND IS INDEED A ME SUMERS OF Denver, Colo., December 10, 1909. TO THE CITIZENS AND TAX- PAYERS OF DENVER: In previous letters we have discussed in detail the water rights, equipment, and various components that make up the water system now supplying Denver. The extent of Denver's system compared with other systems in the country has been pointed out, and the valuation placed upon the property by the board of appraisers given upon other water plants by the United States Census Bureau statisticians. These comparisons show that for the population served there is no more extensive or complete water system in the country than Denver's, and that the valuation fixed by the appraisers is more than conservative. There is another element that is of even greater importance to the people of Denver than the conservative valuation upon the property, and its adequacy for the duty required—that is the bearing of the water supply upon the question of public health. It is the purpose of this communication to discuss that question. Pure, wholesome water is essential to human existence. Science teaches that 58.5 per cent. of the human body is composed of water, and it goes without saying that if the water supplied the body is not pure and wholesome the body cannot be healthy. The populated areas of the United States have reached a point in their development where pure water, safe for domestic use, can no longer, except in very rare cases, be obtained in large quantities from natural sources of supply. It can only be furnished through the medium of artificial purification. This condition was presented in Europe many years ago. Research begun in London, England, to discover means of protecting the health of the people against the danger arising from the inevitable pollution of water supplies, has in the past twenty years perfected a system of purification that guarantees pure wholesome water wherever it is used and properly operated. The basic principle of the sys- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tem is filtration to remove silt, solids, and ordinary bacteria from the water, and chemical treatments to destroy vegetable growths and all harmful bacteria. The principle of filtration is fundamental, though the method of application varies between several systems in use. It consist in the abstract of passing water through a sufficient depth of gravel lying loose together permit the water to pass with reasonable freedom, but retard the passage of even the most minute bodies that are carried in the water. The systems of chemical treatment vary according to the duty required. The plant of the Denver Union Water Company was the first large water plant in the United States to be equipped with a complete purification system, and until the past two or three years it was the only large plant in the country that filtered and treated scientifically every drop of water delivered to consumers. Denver also was the first city in the United States to be supplied with filtered water before the more advanced and perfect methods of treatment came into use. Its first systems, though crude as compared with present-day systems, were the best that were known at the time, and no time has been lost or money spared in keeping the purification system abreast of the times. As the plants grew to meet the needs of the city they have been equipped with the best appliances that science has devised. The management of this phase of the water business has been as careful and painstaking in the interest of public health as has the general management of the plant in the interest of economical and efficient operation. That it has been successful is demonstrated by the fact that no city in the United States is supplied with better water than Denver. There are three methods of applying the principle of filtration in general use in water purification plants throughout the world, and all three of them are used. The first or oldest method is the infiltration system. It was first used extensively in Germany. It is onizing The ADO JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11 1909. utilized by driving tunnels or galleries under or beside flowing streams or bodies of water to collect the underground flow. The tunnels or galleries deliver the water into conduits and they in turn to pumping plants or gravity reservoirs for distribution. The next system to come into general use in the United States is known as the mechanical system. As applied, huge tanks or basins are built with false bottoms of fine mesh screen or other strains. Over the false bottom is laid from three to five feet of fine sand and gravel. The water to be treated is turned into the tanks or basins at the top and gradually perecolates through the sand and graven, to be taken up by collector pipes placed beneath the strainers. These pipes convey the water to the conduits to bring it to the distributing system. The mechapical system derives its name from the method used to cleanse the sand in the tanks or basins of the impurities that accumulate from the passage of the water. Every few hours, as the sand becomes elogged, filtered water under presure is introduced from beneath the strainers and forced upward through the sand layers. Its passage upward through the sand carries all impurities to the surface, to be run into waste pipes with the unfiltered water that was left in the filters when the cleansing process began. The latest of the systems to come into general use is known as the English slow-sand process. Under this system the filters are built in the form of huge basins covering an area of anywhere from one-half to three or four acres. The basins are from ten to twelve feet in depth, lined and floored with concrete, and filled to a depth of from three to five feet with fine sand and gravel, as in the case of the mechanical system. Under the gravel and sand is laid a network of perforated tile pipe or collectors ranging from six to twenty-four inches in diameter. The water turned into the basins above the sand gradually percolates through the layers of these collectors, and is conveyed to reservoirs or conduits connecting with the distributing system. The rapidity of the flow of water through the filtering material is governed by the depth in the basins above the sand, and can be regulated at will, according to the condition of the water. The slow-sand filters are cleaned by removing the top layer of sand which contains the extracted impurities, and replacing it with fresh, clean sand that has been thoroughly washed in a mechanical washer and exposed to the sun in brick or concrete bins. Denver's first water plant, which began to furnish water in 1872, applied the filtration system, then in a crude state, by sinking a large well near the bank of the Platte River at Fifteenth street. The well was located about 100 feet from the channel of the stream, and the water it collected percolated this distance through the sand and gravel of the river bank. The second plant, located near the site of the present West Denver pumping station of The Denver Union Water Company, applied the same principle with certain improvements that had been devised. It built a series of cribs beside the channel of the stream above the pumping plant. The cribs were surrounded with a mixture of charcoal and sand which supplied a finer screening mixture than the natural mixture of sand and gravel. This plant was installed in 1882. The next development saw the perfection of the infiltration system as now in general use. The Water Company, in building its Cherry Creek plant, drove a series of galleries beside the creek bed at a depth of twenty feet below the natural channel of the stream, and from 100 to 200 feet distant from it. These galleries were connected with a conduit leading to the present Capitol Hill reservoir. This system collects only the underground flow of the stream. Most of the water gathered has percolated for miles through sand and gravel, and is rendered absolutely sterile by the natural filtering material. When the success of this system was demonstrated the old plant above the West Denver pumping station was abandoned and a new plant identical with the Cherry Creek plant was built south of Mississippi street. In 1889 a similar plant was constructed by the Water Company at the entrance to Platte Canon and the water brought to the city through twenty-three miles of conduit. The only drawback to the use of the infiltration system exclusively for Denver is the fact that the limited flow of the streams available during a considerable portion of the year, does not furnish enough water to make the sub-channel supply dependable for the heavy service demanded, though the yield would be more than sufficient for most cities in the country of like population. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 29.—The charge is being made by the National Negro Dell Company of this city that merchants have sought to prejudice the public against Negro dolls by causing to be sent out the news item that the sale of colored dolls among Negroes had diminished to an alaming extent, and that white dolls are again in demand. Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is at the head of the enterprise, brands the report as false. RACE NEWS Philadelphia, Dec. 4.—The orphans' court here today sustained the validity of the will of the late Anna T. Jeanes, who left much of her fortune to charitable and educational institutions. The estate is estimated to be worth between $4,000,000 any $8,000,000. The will was attacked by 36 heirs at law. Lima, Ohio, Nov. 30.—John W. Beam, colored attorney, today was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary for the murder of Mrs. Maude Dilts, white, a client. Beam was convicted of murder in the first degree, but the jury recommended mercy. ly gratifying surprise to all concerned. It is universally conceded that the honor falls upon worthy shoulders. Major William T. Anderson, chaplain of the 10th United States Cavalry, has been granted leave of absence until December 16 next, when he will be placed on the retired list. He was born in Texas in August 1859, but was appointed to the chaplaincy from Ohio in August, 1897, and assigned to the 10th Cavalry. He has been in poor health for several months and is now under treatment at the general hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. He stands number on the list Hackensack, N. J., Nov. 30.—A colored man of New York has erected a large hall for colored patronage. It is situated in a place convenient to the railroades and trolleys, being on the corner of Clay street and Railroad avenues. The colored people here are fast acquiring real estate; several new cottages have been erected within the past few months. Members of the race pay taxes on possibly $150,000 worth of real estate. Springfield, Ill. Nov.—Mattie Walker, colored, whose household furniture was burned by the mob during the Springfield race riot, August, 1908, was awarded a verdict of $268 against the city in the circuit court today. It was the first verdict for damages against the city on claims growing out of the riot. City official belive the verdict is a victory for the city, as the jury found the city guilty under the 1887 statute, which allows recovery of three-fourths damage, and not under the 1905 act, which permits recovery of the full amount of damages. President Taft has designated Lieut. Benjamin Oliver Davis, of the Tenth Cavalry as Military Attache of the United States to the Government of Liberia. The position is newly created and is taken as an earnestness of the closer relation that has come to exist between this country and the African republic by virtue of the exchange of visits by the Commissions representing the sister-governments. The appointment is in the nature of a surprise to the Negroes of Washington and the nation at large, as no intimation had been given that such a place was to be made, but it is an exceeding- NO.13 ly gratifying surprise to all concerned. It is universally conceded that the honor falls upon worthy shoulders. Major William T. Anderson, chaplain of the 10th United States Cavalry, has been granted leave of absence until December 16 next, when he will be placed on the retired list. He was born in Texas in August 1859, but was appointed to the chaplaincy from Ohio in August, 1897, and assigned to the 10th Cavalry. He has been in poor health for several months and is now under treatment at the general hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. He stands number two on the list of Chaplains and has served capably in this country and in the Philippines. Rumor has it that his successor has been agreed upon, and when the announcement is officially made it will be a big surprise to many, and will doubtless arouse continent wide attention because of the precedent the selection may establish. STONE WINS OUT. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 30.—Judge John F. Main of the Superior Court of King County recently rendered a decision in the case of the Hunter Tract Improvement Company against S. H. Stone, colored, holding that the latter is entitled to certain property rights in Mt. Baker Park, an aristocratic settlement in Seattle. Stone, who is one of the leading caterers of Seattle, owns property in Mt. Baker Park, and is constructing a beautiful home on one of his lots with a view to becoming a resident of the aristocratic settlement when the house is completed. The Hunter Tract Company, believing that the property would depreciate if a Negro became a resident, sought to have the transfer of the property annulled. Stone purchased the property from Mrs. Marguerite Foy, a white woman. Attorney Andrew R. Black, representing Stone, argued on the constitutional rights of the Negro and Judge Main upheld his contention. His Monotonous Life. "You know him, don't you? He's a fine musician. Plays second fiddle in one of the best orchestras in the country." "Yes, I've known him since long before he was married.

SCOUTED BY EXPERTS DISTINGUISHED COMMITTEE NAMED TO EXAMINE DR. COOK'S RECORDS. Copenhagen.—Dr. Torp, rector of the University of Copenhagen, said Thursday that the charges published in the New York Times against Dr. Frederick A. Cook are based on pure fiction. Nevertheless, he added. he would accept the offer to examine the documents prepared by Loose and Dunkle, which the Times has agreed to send to Copenhagen. Walter Lonsdale, secretary to Dr. Cook, who brought the explorer's records to Copenhagen, also declares that the accusation published in New York and London against Dr. Cook were totally unfounded. He said that the papers delivered to the University of Copenhagen contained the original observations made by Dr. Cook during the expedition, without alterations. Mr. Lonsdale stated further that the explorer's report was founded on these and dictated by Dr. Cook to him, no other person having anything to do with it. Loose and Dunkle, Mr. Lonsdale added, were guests at the Waldorf-Astoria during Dr. Cook's stay there, but the explorer's acquaintance with them was slight. The committee which will examine Dr. Cook's records is composed of the following: President, Prof. Ellis Stromgren, director of the astronomical observatory; Dr. C. F. Pechule, astronomer attached to the observatory; Gustave Holm, explorer; Prof. A. B. Yensen, president of the school of navigation; Dr. Royder, director of the meteorological office, and Dr. F. A. Engstrom, director of the Lund observatory. A summary of the affidavits of persons claiming to have aided Dr. Frederick A. Cook in the preparation of his polar data, published in London and New York, was read here with amazement. Scientific circles are inclined to be incredulous regarding the charges and some persons like Dr. Carl Burrau, the astronomer, consider them so improbable that their effect will be to strengthen confidence in Dr. Cook. In an interview Dr. Burrau said: "Passages in the story telegraphed here give me the impression that the matter is thoroughly untrustworthy. Take, for instance, the statement about Capella. Capella neither rises nor sets in the polar regions, but remains fixed over the horizon. In order to make observations at the North pole, a more extended and a more detailed knowledge is necessary than is enjoyed usually by the average ship's captain. "It will, however, be easy for the university to determine the truth or otherwise of the charges." Guggenheim Works for Buildings at Glenwood and Other Towns. Washington.—All of the members of the Colorado delegation in Congress answered to the roll calls in the Senate and House at the opening of the session December 6th excepting Representative Rucker, who had not reached here from his vacation travels. During the session Senator Guggenheim of Colorado will concentrate his efforts to secure the passage of his bills for appropriations for public buildings at Glenwood Springs, Montrose and Durango, and to enlarge the public building at Colorado Springs; to grant lands for public park purposes to cities and towns of Colorado; to provide for instruction in forestry in agricultural colleges; to pension the surviving members of the Forsythe Scouts organization; to restore the pensionable status of the Third Colorado cavalry; to establish a Subtreasury at Denver. Bills have been introduced for these and other important measures by Senator Guggenheim or are soon to be introduced. It looks as if there would be a large number of measures proposed at this session of Congress that will be of immense interest and benefit to the Centennial State. Zelaya Will Resign. Managua, Nicaragua.—It is authoritatively stated here that Zelaya will surrender the presidency within three weeks. Colored Soldiers Convicted. Washington.—Conclusive evidence is said to have been secured by the Military Court of Inquiry in the "shooting up" of Brownsville, Texas; that members of the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, who were within the fort, fired on the town at the time their companions were racing through the streets, shooting right and left. None of the members of the Court of Inquiry would discuss the matter, but it is intimated that a demand for the abolition of the negro troops, which are provided for by law, will be made by the southern delegations in Congress. WORTH KNOWING. Simple Remedy That Anyone Can Prepare at Home. Most people are more or less subject to coughs and colds. A simple remedy that will break up a cold quickly and cure any cough that is curable is made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. You can get these in any good drug store and easily mix them in a large bottle. The mixture is highly recommended by the Leach Chemical Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing.

Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor —Spratched Till Blood Ban. "Our son, two years old, was afflicted with a rash. After he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor but it got worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from tearing the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense. The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. The result was almost magical. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of it since he was cured. J. W. Lauck, Yukon, Okla., Aug. 28 and Sept. 17, 1908."

Artists, billposters, printers, paper manufacturers and tuberculosis fighters are all united in a gigantic crusade against tuberculosis which is about to be started under the direction of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In addition to the gifts of free space on billboards and free printing of posters made by the Associated Billposters and Distributors of America and the Poster Printers' Association, several hundred paper manufacturers have given paper for the posters to the value of several thousand dollars, and artists from all over the United States are contributing sketches for posters, free of charge. The local, state and national anti-tuberculosis associations will see that the posters are placed in cities and towns where they are most needed. The posters are nine feet long and seven feet wide and will be printed in several colors. If sufficient paper is procured a million will be pasted up. The value of these various contributions would reach fully $2,000,000 if paid for at commercial rates. There All the Time It is told of Dr. Thorold that he was once asked to give away the prizes at a school belonging to the London school board. In the course of his opening address he gravely asked the children, "Which was the largest island in the world before Australia was discovered?" When the youngsters gave it up, he said in the same grave way, which made them laugh all the more, "Why, Australia, of course; it was there all the time!" RESULTS OF FOOD Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion, I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical condition much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings of gratitude that I write this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of aiding others in their search for health."

GIRLS CHEATED BY EMPLOYERS GIRLS CHEATED BY EMPLOYERS FASHIONABLE BOARDING HOUSES ON CAPITOL HILL IN DENVER ARE OFFENDERS. MINERS ALSO LOSE PAY LABOR COMMISSIONER BRAKE MAY DECIDE TO TEST ANTI BOYCOTT LAW. Denver.—The fact that a great many of the boarding house keepers on Capitol Hill do not pay their servants, according to Labor Commissioner Brake; may lead to a test of the anti-boycott law in the state Supreme Court. Commissioner Brake says that complaints are constantly made to him by servant girls who cannot get paid for their services in fashionable boarding houses on the Hill, and he is planning to send out lists of the names of those who do not pay help to all the free and private employment agencies in the state. Commissioner Brake says that he has consulted an attorney upon the matter and the latter does not think that it will be an infringement of the anti-boycott law, but even if he is charged with violating it he will take the law into the Supreme Court and have it tested. Every effort has been made to force these boarding house keepers to pay their help, he says, but it has proved unavailing. He even advised those who had lost their wages to go and sit on the steps of their employer's house, and every time anyone rang the bell, to demand their wages in a loud tone. In some cases this worked well, but no one would have the servants arrested, as he wished. When the girls or men employed could get no money they are either allowed to quit or are discharged if they complain, and the boarding house keepers send for fresh help. Since last April, according to Labor Commissioner Brake, he has received 806 claims in his office of which the majority are from Denver people. By preventing the boarding house keepers from getting further help from the employment agencies, he hopes to be able to force them to pay help. In Silverton Commissioner Brake says he also found that many persons could not get paid. During the past year he has had claims presented to him by miners and others representing $30,000. Most of this amount was lost by miners who went up into the hills in the winter, saved their checks, and found that the company had gone broke when they returned to town in the spring. This has led many to spend their money as fast as they received it. Woman's Remarkable Walk. Denver.—The Republican Thursday morning says: Tired but happy in her success, Arizona Owens of Shoshone, Wyo., arrived in Denver last night and completed a remarkable walk of sixteen days' length in which she traversed 435 miles. Although some of the severest weather that Colorado and Wyoming have experienced in years placed a bar to her fast progress, she completed her journey one day ahead of time. Upon wagers between Kansas City and Denver men Miss Owens undertook the trip. She was given seventeen days in which to make the distance. During her unusual and difficult walk she was once lost for an entire night. She missed her path in making a shortcut to Cheyenne. At another time she was blown off a trestle, but was only slightly injured. Yesterday she walked from Fort Lupton to Denver—a distance of twenty-five miles. When she reached this city about 7:30 o'clock she immediately took a car at Seventeenth and Lawrence and went to the home of friends. Renter's Profits Pay for Farm. Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says: Purchasing the farm on which he has been a renter for ten years with the profits on his share of the crops during that time was the act of Will G. Stanley today, when he bought the C.N. Good farm, east of Lucerne, for $22,000. Stanley bought 240 acres near Ault four years ago with his crop profits, and the Ault land is worth $30,000. He came here from Nebraska nineteen years ago and worked by the month on farms until he learned irrigation methods. At a meeting of the land-holders in the Greeley-Poudre irrigation district it was decided to allow the Laramie-Poudre Reservoir & Irrigation Company to make its choice of which of three reservoirs, or what part each of the three shall contribute to supplying the district with 1,500,000,000 cubic feet of water. At La Junta on the 7th inst. three directors were elected in the Holbrook irrigation district, on the north side of the river. They are W. E. Stanton, E. L. Estep and J. H. Seeman. This is a new district and has issued $650,000 in bonds and will buy the ditch from the present holders and build a reservoir and enlarge and improve the ditch. In a letter from Max Brelitz of Austria, a European colonization agent, to a Greeley real estate firm, he asks for 1,500 acres of irrigated land on which to settle twenty-five Austrian farmers.

It is all fixed up at last, and Johnson and Jeffries are to bring the world back to its balance by a supreme contest in the roped arena. But have you noticed that Johnson has done the most of the figuring on his side of the case, with his manager decidedly in the background? He has had some big brains as well as some big muscle to figure against, too, and here, as well as in the ring, he seems to be able to hold his own. Considering the fact that the white world at large don't care if Johnson is handed a lemon along with a knockout, it is to Johnson's individual credit that he has a square look in at a purse worth one hundred thousand dollars to the winner of the bout. And may his generalship outpoint Napoleon's! ZELAYA OF NICARAGUA THERE is a young revolution in progress down in Nicaragua, one of the Central American republics. It is aimed at President Zalaya, the despotic ruler of the country, who has been making it warm not only for a large portion of his own subjects, but for the inhabitants of adjoining countries, thereby breaking international agreements and disrupting the peace of all Central America. In his mad determination to dictate and control the political destinies of Nicaragua and the other Central American countries, Zalaya permitted the torturing and ordered the execution of two American citizens who were captured while affiliating with and leading insurgent forces. This compelled an investigation on the part of the government of the United States, which not only guarantees protection to its citizens abroad, but, for the sake of its interests in Panama and the Panama canal, desires continued peace in Central America, with the result that this country has severed diplomatic relations with Nicaragua, dismissed its minister at Washington, and has sent war vessels, filled with marines, to Nicaraguan ports to compel Zalaya to make reparation for his murderous acts. This action will create greater respect for this government among the hot-blooded Spanish peoples of Central America and demonstrate the determination of the government of the United States to protect its citizens against the persecutions of foreigners. Incidentally, it reveals the fact that the United States can offer greater protection to its citizens abroad than it can furnish its citizens at home, where the authority of state governments to keep the public peace must be recognized. The existence of this weakness in our constitutional form inspires a direct and unfavorable contrast with conditions in all other countries. That the states are remiss under certain conditions, and that the greater odium is theirs, does not relieve the fact that a constitutional weakness exists. The contrary side of it is developed when a citizen of a foreign country is killed by an American mob, and the central government is called upon to make reparation. But the government acts more readily even in such a case than it does when the lives of its own citizens are thus sacrificed, because the unsettled doctrine of state's rights interferes with the thorough authority of the central government. In this respect, nearly every state in the Union is a Zalaya whom the government should be able to call to account. THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY. WATER SUPPLY has a greater meaning to a city situated as Denver is situated, than it has to cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City or Omaha, for these last named cities, like nearly all the other large cities of the United States, are located on great natural bodies of water, where the item of storage does not enter into such vital consideration as it does where the water supply is of plainly diseervable and fluctuating limit. With an original, natural and almost inexhaustible supply always at hand, the water question in these other cities reduces itself into one of piping, filtering and distributing, according to well defined needs. But in Denver the question of exhaustion, coupled with all the emergencies of future needs, is a great primary consideration, for here the streams which constitute the original source of supply are small and subject to drying spells, which may materially reduce the volume of the supply to a dangerous limit, or render it easily possible to deprive the city of one of its absolute necessities for the support of human life. The topography of our country and the character of our climate are responsible for these conditions, and the necessity for irrigating the soil to make it productive and to give it the beauty of verdure and foliage is identical with the necessity for insuring the sufficient and practically inexhaustible supply of water for human and animal consumption, which the locations of other large cities naturally afford their inhabitants. This unusual requirement has made it necessary for us to create a great, artificial storage reservoir, by which the natural conditions in other cities and localities might be approximately and adequately duplicated. The creation of Lake Cheesman was thus projected and methodically and scientifically executed, and the expense and value of such an enormous enterprise may be imagined, if one will consider the extent, the character and capacity of that great sheet of stored water. It is located fifty miles from Denver in the mountains of Jefferson and Douglas counties, where it absorbs the purest waters of the South Platte river and several smaller contributing streams, and it is calculated, with scientific preciseness, to give Denver the greatest and purest supply of water that the natural conditions of the country can afford. By the very nature and character of this location, Denver is afforded one of the greatest, purest and most adequate water supplies enjoyed by any city in the world. Lake Cheesman, impounded in mountain canons where water pollution is practically impossible, is a beautiful water sheet more than seven miles in length and throughout a considerable portion covers a width of two miles. This entire bed was carefully prepared and stripped of impure vegetable growth and of everything that could detract from the purity and sweetness of the stored water supply. In parts, the lake reaches a depth of over two hundred feet, and enough water is stored therein to supply the city's entire needs for a period of two years, without the natural additions. The value of this reservoir alone, with the legal rights vested therein, will, upon exact computation, approach nearly the amount which Denver has been asked to pay for the entire water system. ```markdown ``` Time Moves Swiftly The season is at hand when all the world goes a-shopping, for we still hold reverent the old custom of presenting gifts to loved ones and friends at the Yule time.

WELLESLEY BRABBIT NEWSPAPER advocates the establishment of a pension system for the support of preachers "who have worn themselves out in the service of humanity as religious teachers." While pondering on that subject I came across a sight which turned my thoughts in a new direction and filled me with sadness and something like a righteous indignation against society. A Dragging himself painfully and slowly along the sidewalk was the poor remnant of a man, both his legs cut off at the knee. He was a man past middle life, who looked as though he might be a mechanic or laborer. He was alone, of course, and seemed to be very poor, judging by the thinness of his clothing and the pinched look of his face. I stood a few moments and watched the effect of his figure on the countenances of passers-by. Girls and women of the working classes seemed shocked and pained, people better fed and clothed evinced a passing curiosity. I saw no one moved to hand the poor fellow so much as a nickel. As I walked on I asked myself, "Does not society owe to this crippled soldier of her industrial army at least the care she extends to her 'boys in blue?' The latter she feeds and clothes while they fight in her service, and when they grow too old she houses them and holds them in honor. But this poor private in the ranks of the army of industry society leaves to suffer alone and in misery the consequences of his honorable wounds received in the conflict with the forces of nature." In many countries of Europe old-age pensions for all useful workers are in existence and lighten to some extent the woes of the toiler. But society has not yet realized her debt to her most useful members. The time is bound to come when the sight of a crippled worker, left to perish by the wayside while society sweeps on her way regardless, will be a thing too horrible to be allowed to exist. By all means let us give pensions not only to our religious teachers, but to all the workers, and let us give relief in justice first to those who have had no leisure, no long summer holidays, no comfortable homes, small social honor and, in fact, little more than a bare existence in return for their toil and sweat and blood. by the wayside while society sweeps on her way regardless, will be a thing too horrible to be allowed to exist.

A thoughtful student of our New England history cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that, of all the institutions which were founded on these shores by our Puritan and Pilgrim forefathers Thanksgiving day alone has come down to our times substantially unchanged. This is true as regards its form and as regards its spirit. The notion widely prevalent that the significance of Thanksgiving has greatly changed comes from lack of knowledge as to what the day meant at first. It never was, nor was ever intended to be, sectarian, or even ecclesiastical, in any sense.

FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW. To The Colorado Statesman: I have read of and worried over the Congo atrocities by maiming children and adits, as a punishment for not collecting sufficient rubber for the Belgian authorities; and I also read of and wondered over the unlawful, un-Christian, uncivilized death of poor William James, a Negro murderer, of Cairo, I. Yet, while we lamented over those faraway acts of unjust deeds, I felt that I must turn my mind and heart toward home. For it is an old and true adage, “that charity be- gins at home, then spreads abroad.” I find that there is plenty of distress, selfishness, greed for gold and unjust- ness practiced here in Denver. I also have been reading of the closing of the Negro clubs, and the subject has been discussed pro and con against those perpetrators of offenses against law and order. Now it has occurred to me, that both the officials and the frequenters of the clubs are not all so bad as painted. There are some of those Negroes that can “trace their lineage” as well as some of the rest of the “so-called goody-good.” Some have dear mothers, who would be shocked to learn of their “straying from their teachings,” there are some who are descendants from some of the best and first families of the East, North and South. Yet while they have transgressed, in a way, and bereft of all their invisible means of support, they, too, have got to live. Now, why not a few of our Denver Negro men who are trying to hold from two to three positions, divide with these men —in order that they might live? Isee where a great many have left the city, and I know there are a great many that are not able to leave—and yet these men have got to eat, sleep, and keep warm, especially this sort of weather. Now, how are they to do it? When the “greed for gold” in holding from two to three positions exists in Denver? I know of two men em- ployed in one of. Denver's leading banks, at a fair salary, making it every few days to a large catering company, in order to wait parties for a sum of from $2 to $3 a party, and yet these men could open up their hearts, turn loose all such selfishness and say to one of these men: “I have a good position; you need the money now, worse than I do.” I also know a head waiter of a certain club, who is holding the janitorship of an apart- ment house, working his wife to death by inches, for he doesn’t haye the time to fill both positions justly. Now why don’t he say to another of those men: “You take one of my positions; you need it”? “I also know of three or four of Uncle Sam’s employes even, holding that lifetime position, and at spare times stooping to wait a dinner meal or a party! And it seems to me the men holding such positions seem anxious to be common servants! Now, why don’t these men “turn loose” the dinnér meal and party work to their less fortunate brothers? Now, I have visited in several citfes, and can say truthfully Denver contains the most selfish, narrow, unthoughtful Negro men when it comes to “live and let live.” Now I want these men to di- vide with a fellow man, whose pres- ent depends on your action toward them. Help these “club” men to ob- tain employment in order to live and make good citizens, for idle hands and hearts make an {dle brain—and an idle brain is the Devil’s workshop. Respectfully, CARRIE P.
