S. 11. 11. Clark, president of the
Union Pacific railroad and the mag
nate who did so much to build up
that great system will resign, and it
is thought will accept the prcsidenc}’
of the Missouri Pacille.
There is every good reason to
suppose that the Missouri Pacific will
extend . itff line of railroad from
Ptleblo to tiie Gunnison country the
work to begin in a short time. This
is tiie route by which the M. P. will
one day reach tiie Pacific const.
Representative A. \V. Lennard
is working hard for the passage of
the bill providing for two weeks’ pay
and Ims made many friends in lles
seuier by the stand lie bus taken.
The passage of the bill means more
ready cash for the workingman and
cash means economy in living. It is
a just measure uud should pass.
The absence of high winds has
thus far been a pleasant feature of
winter in tins part of the state
With very little disagreeable wind
and lots of sunshine and warmth, it
is no wonder that people from the
cold, snow}' Fast often remark that
it is summer time here. Colorado is
a glorious state in which to live if it
could boast of nothing else than its
wonderful elinmtc.
The house of representatives lias
acted favorably on having the second
district judge appointed for this, the
tenth judicial district, embracing
Pueblo and Otero counties. Hon.
Platt Wicks introduced the bill pro
viding for the appointment of the
second judge and presented to the
House a petition signed by Hon. J. C.
FI well and sixtv-four of the sixty-six
attorneys of this county praying that
fche bill be passed. The enacting of
the bill imto a law is not a certainty
hut it is lo be hoped that it may pass
as Judge Ulwell is now two yours bt
liiud with his work.
Representative Platt Wicks is
one of the most prominent men in
the house and is doing more than
any populist member to advance the
interests of tiie working man and the
average merchants of tha state. He
is able and eloquent, and his pow
erful advocacy of the railroad bill
and the employes' liability bill has
made for him friends innumerable
all over the statu, Mr. Wicks' is a
republican, but his ideas on many
things are in accord with those of the
peoples party and he has easily taken
the place of champion for these
particular measures.
The dissatisfaetmn among the
colonists from Holland that settled
in tiie San Louts valley a short time
ago has taken on a definite form and
the people are leaving the valley
bound for the north-eastern part of
the state. A local paper, the In
dependent Journal of Alamosa, states
that the colonists are not leaving be
cause of any discontent with the
climate or the soil, but on account of
the trouble they have had in tryiug
to secure good titles to uhelr lauds.
A faint attempt was made by the
Pueblo board ®f trade to induco the
Dutch to locate in this county but
notuing came of it. Had an earnerst
endeavor been made the county
might have secured some valuable
agriculturists—exactly the sort of
people wanted.
Tub friends of the two weeks’ pay
bill are making a hard fight for its
passage in the general assembly.
The bill should pass. It is oue of
the few measures which may come
up for action this session where the
argnment is nearly ail on one side.
Its passage will give justice to the
employe and justice to the average
merchant who finds it a herculean
task and often one beyond lus power
to carry customers thirty days and
sometimes longer. A man without
money must ran an account for
groceries and provisions and if his
merchant ref uses' to oarry him any
longer he is in a fix. With a pay
day every two weeks lie has his cash
and ia then independent enough to
buy where he can get the most re
turns for his money. Cosh is king
theae times and the man who haa it
finds be can Uve much cheaper than
be woo runs a credit account The

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1893.
Representative Lennard can be
relied upon to coine out squarely
against the obnoxious Drake bill
providing for the consolidation of
Bessemer and Pueblo by act of the
legislature
President- elect Cleveland was
guilty of an awful piece of political
heresy in the eyes of one-idea party
men |when according to reports
he appointed Judge Walter Q
Gresham secretary of state, but he
did exactly the right thing and set
a good example for lesser political
lights to follow. Independence in
politics is fortunately gaining ground
and the more i ndependence there is
the better it will be for the welfare
of the country. One feels like half
way forgiving (Jrover for meddling
in the silver issue because of his
courage in tiiis instance.
The Temperance Bulletin is the
name of tiie semi-monthly now being
issued at Pueblo by the prohibition
party and tbe W. C. T. U. of the
state, Doctor Genevieve Tucker hav
ing charge of the former department
and Miss Winifred Spaulding of the
latter. The journal has much liter
ary merit and is replete with facts
and figures making it a vulliable
auxiliary to the temperance cause
and deserves moral and financial
support.
Every little while Pueblo gets up
an excitement on tiie prospeets of
work commencing on the govern
ment public building, the latest
thrill of pleasure passing over tiie
city the first of the week when the
government architect, Mr. V.\ J.
Edhrooke and an assistant made a
sudden eall and inspected the loca
tion on Main street chosen by the
commission last summer. Mr. Ed
brooke informed tbe local architect
who has the contract, F. W. Cooper,
thut lie felt confident in saying that
the work of excavating would begin
before the latter end of March. The
prominent business men of Pueblo
predict that good times will date
from the commencement of the gov
ernment building, not on account of
the money that particular piece of
work will bring into the city but thut
it will be the signal for work to be
gin on many other large buildings.
Pueblo is one of the livliest cities in
the West when it does go and if the
government building is to be a
starter it can't coine too soon.
STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
An 800 lb hammer will do the work
in the blacksmith shop.
Supt. Brown of tbe rail mill is
having u new office built.
The smoke stack to tbe new ore
roaster is almost completed.
U. Martin Ims been succeeded us
boss of the puddle mill by a Mr.
Bishop.
Thursday morning the rail mill
started on a 1.000 ton order of 50 lb
rails for a Texas company,
Tt is estimutbd that tbe pay roll at
the steel works next Saturday will
reacii tbe sum of at least $00,OIK).
The dynamo in the newly built
electric light bouse is being placed
and will be ready for use in a week.
Nothing fur out of the ordinary is
happening tills week. Everything
is bumming and lots of work is be
ing done,
Dick Daly, one of the converter
men left for Bouth Chicago Tuesday
night in response to a dispatch im
parting the sad news of a sister’s
death.
The bloom mill and the rail mill
are averaging 185 tons per day*,
This seems to be the general capac
ity of the mill, 185 tons each shift, or
870 tons every twenty-four hours.
J. T. O’Brien of Bouth Chicago has
been appointed . master mechanic
vice William Van Brunt. Mr.
O’Brien is a man rich in experience
and 1b confidently expected to rend
er valuable assistance in increasing
tiie output of the*steel works.
J. A. Wearing who does the weigh
ing at blast furnace 8 received a
blow on tbe bead Thursday ffTter
noon from a piece of iron falling
from a trustle, cutting a severe gasli
and probably injuring his skull.
Mr. Wearing was at ones removed
to the hospital and Is a very sick
man.
Once more the record in the con
verter hns been broken. Davy
Lloyd’s shift did it last Tuesday
when the men on the day turn made
49 heats which equalled 250 tons.
This was doing splendid work and
less than six months ago was regard
ed as one of the impossibilities. It
looks like the old steel works plant
is not fifty years behind the tin\es
after ali.
F. P. Hawke left fur Denver yes

CONSOLIDATION.
The Commissioners Meet and
of Course Disagree on Some
Things— In ali Likelihood
There will be a Big Report
and a Little Report.
Tbe commissioners from tbe two cities
< Hover, Sweet und Suitor from Besse
mer, and West, Downen amt Kilbourn
from Pueblo mot last .Tuesday und
mimiigttd to finish up the preliminaries
of consolidation ho far an they were
concerned, Glover took tho loud on the
Bessemer side and did wat bo could
toward securing tho best terms while on
tiie other Hide it wuh a question who
did tho hardest kicking Downen or
Kilbourn.
The terms of consolidation as finally
agreed upon by a majority of tho com
missioners briefly stated are: That the
consolidated city Hhall be named Pueblo.
That Bessemor shall constitute u ward
in itso,f for a period of tlireo years, din
ing which time no change shall he made
in tiie present boundaries of the city of
Pueblo, and at the ond of that time tho
consolidated city shall be divided into
wards on a basis of population. That
the city property of Bessomer ho made
the property of tho consolidated city, a
police and lire station to be stationed at
Bssoemor city ball and thut tho sower
mains of Pueblo be extended into Besse
mer. Also that each city pay otr its
present outstanding indebtedness.
The provisions are not very different
from tho terms laid down by the Besse
mer commission a few weeks ago which
for comparison are given below:
the terms.
First, That the consolidated
cities be divided into six wards
based upon tiie population of tbe
vote cast at the last presidential
election and these wards to remain
unchanged for tiie period of three
years.
Second. Sewer mains to be ex
tended so us to cover thut part of
Bessemer lying east of Palmer ave
nue ami north of Division street so
that laterals can run to connect
with main sewer
Third. Tbe property owned by
the city of Bessemer consists of city
hull and six lots on the corner of
Mesa und Evans avenue, city ball
suitable for police and lire stations
and public hull for citizens; also
two lots on the corner of Summit
and Spruce streets witli hose bouse;
also two lots on tin* corner of Car
teret and Mesa avenue witli hose
house, all of which free from indebt
edness, shall lie considered tbe
property of the consolidated cities,
provided a police and lire station be
located at tho city hall.
Fourth, That tbe city of Besse
mer assume tier own indebtedness
and when paid to become property
in common of the consol{dated
cities.
It is very important to make a note of
tiie fact that Messrs Downen and Kil
bourn made a vigorous kick on that
part of the agreement wherein Besse
mer should constitute a ward in itself
and this will be a convenient excuse for
those gentlemen to mnko a minority re
port to their council. Now mark tiie
prediction: A minority report will be
made to the Pueblo oounoil and it will
be adopted, or tho whole business will
be shelved. The question will not got
along so far as to bo submitted to a vote
of tho poople. Consolidation is not
wante'd by a largo Pueblo element at
this time and no risks will be taken in
the matter by tho mayor and his lion -
tenants. It might bo well enough to
also add that the poople of Bessemer
did not demand their city council to
take the question up in the first place
and the commissioners were appointed
boforo many knew of tho consolidation
bugaboo being agitated at ull.
With The City Council.
Jones, J. E. was the only member
of the council absent at tiie meeting
of Monday evening last. A few
questions of more or less importance
were brought up, the most import
ant to the council and city officers
being tbe allowing of lust month’s
salaries.
Police Magistrate Willuuor asked
for tbe library room for a police
court room, he stating that the
library association had uhuudoued
tho place. He was given tiie en
gineer’s room instead.
A petition asking for tbe hall tbe
night, of the 21 iust for u ghost dunce
was granted.
The A. A. of I. and S. W. petition
ed for the use of the bull the second
and fourth Saturday evenings of
each month and the potitiou was
granted.
Frank Scbmeltzer’s petition for
tho hn.ll for the same date was
tabled. Frank has not yet iluisbed
his course in Music and desired to
entertain the dancers of Bessemer
by giving another of his seif bene
ficial balls but he was denied this
time.
Hose Co. No. 2 was nllowed its
regular quarterly pay.
Alderman W est stated that he
bud hud a talk with the Bessemer
Ditch Co. folks and that they held
themselves in readiness to construct
three bridges within tHtcity limits,
two for the present year and one for
last year. The street and bridge
committee was instructed to desig
nate the places where the bridges
should be built and report to tbe
council.
Alderman Pannebnker read a
communication from Engineer J. C.
Bland claimiug balance due bint of
S2OO. for services on the proposed
viaduct. Alderman Pannebnker ex
plained that Eugineer Bland was to
get SSOO. for the job, SBOO down and
S2OO. in six weeks; that be had been
paid the SBOO. and that the remain
ing S2OO. is not yot due.
Alderman Keltner had been look
ing kbout for a location for the city
pound but as yot had found no suit
able location.
Alderman Brennan made things
livoly Ly introducing a resolution to
tha offset that to out down expenses
he police force should be reduced
und the street commisioner ousted.
He said that two policemen and tiie
street commissioner should be let go,
the remaining two policemen to
alternate outlay and night duty,
j the day policeman to act as pouud
master. There was no necessity of
rnaiutaining, be said, a street com
missioner on a good salary; the
! marshal should look after tbe streets
us was tbe custom up to tbe begin
ing of the reign of the council. By
I acting on bis suggestion the city
• would be saved S2OO. per month and
jbe was In favor of ecornomy. Tbe
j resolution was referred to the eom
j mittee on ordinance and license.
DRAKE’S DIPL OMACY.
He Would Drag Bessemer Into Pueblo
by Act of the Legislature,
j Senator J. F. Drake has intro
duced a bill in the senate providing
! for the consolidation of Pueblo and
j Bessemer—an unjust measure which
lias raised a storm,of indignation in
this city and Mr. Drake will find that
be has made a serious blunder. Tbe
Indicator lias not been able to pro
cure a full copy of the bill as it lias
not yet been printed, but its object is
to rob tiie people of the right of fran
chise and by an act of the legislature
consolidate the two cities. No doubt
tbe Senator is acting for a clique of
Puebloans who. believing that a
union of tho two cities can not be
effected at this 'time through the
ballot have decided upon this ar
bitrary manner of consolidation.
The bill is an outrage on the
people of Bessemer in particular, as
being the weaker city it is simply
throwing a halter about their necks
and drggging them in. The bill is
unwise, unsafe and undemocratic
also, the principle of compulsion in
volved in it being in conflict with the
sacred rights of the people. The
law governing the consolidation of
cities as laid down in the statutes
covers the case of tiie union of Bes
semer and Pueblo very well, and the
conduct of Mr. Drake is regarded
here as an officious and unwarranted
interference in the matter. Besse
mer is riled, hot, mad, and there is
considerable talk of calling a mass
meeting to protest against the Drake
bill.
Took an AppeaL.
The cases of the city vs Charles
Brant and Joseph Patrick in which
defendants were charged with
violating the liquor ordinance came
up before Police Magistrate Wiliauer
on tbe 4tb and the defendants were
discharged. City Attorney Low was
not satisfied with tho verdict of the
court and made a statement of facts
to the council Mouduy night in
which lie argued that Brant and
Patrick were still in his mind
violators of the liquor ordinance
and ho advised an appeal to the
county court. The council so order
ed and on Tuesday papers for an
appeal were filled by Attorney Low
Brant is a driver on one of George
Jackson’s wagons and Patrick is a
driver for one Stumphf, also u
liquor dealer from Pueblo.

A Winter in the South.
A winter in the South— the very
words conjure up delicious memories
for those who have been there. The
bright sunny skies, the dry, bracing air
nnd the warm sunshine is in decided
contrast to the cold, bleak north.
The great state of Texas is celebra
ted as one great broad winter resort in
itself, but the following places are, per
haps, particulrrly popular: Fort Worth,
with its mineral baths, healthful climate
and good hotels; Austin, the beautiful
capital city; San Antonio, one of the
few really historical places in our coun
try: Houston, with its blooming roses*
oleanders and groves of oranges and
lemons, and Galveston with its delici
ous sea breezes. These are but a few
of the delightful resorts of this highly
favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts of our rigorous weather, tran
sported by magic from the region of i
snow ami ice to the fragrance of this:
summer-land, is now made possible and
easy by the Denver. Texas & Ft. Worth
branch of the Union Pacific system,
which runs through Pullman Palace
sleepers between Denver, Fort Worth,
Dollas, Shreveport and New Orleans,
and offers exceedingly low excursion
rates to all Southern cities from Denver,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs ami Trinidad.
