permits for the erection of new buildings and the remodeling and repairing of old ones calling for the expenditure of more than $22000 This is an indication that the building trades are going to be busy this season Even now there is not an idle carpenter or store or brick mason in the city In fact there iis not an idle man of any trade or used roads in the rich fanning country to the southeast of this city 1 The second and the larger of the two structures will span the Thompson river at a point several miles east of Loveland and two miles from the county line It will be a 60-foot bridge of concrete over the Thompson and will be situated on the road which runs south from the Bird beet dump on the Great Western to the rich bench land to the south of the Thompson The new Thompson river bridge will supplant one of the oldest and poorest wooden bridges In the county the particular district in which It is to be located being the oldest settled in the southern part of the county During the past beet hauling season the present bridge almost fell to pieces and there Is little doubt but that it cannot stand for another sea-8on 1 Both the new bridges will be of the concrete type which has become standard in this county and which are absolutely permanent and should stand for scores of years Bids on their construction are to be received up to nooR on the 4th day of May and plans and

FORMER EMPLOYE OF WILLIAM CARLISLE OF LOVELAND SAYS HE IS NOT THE FAMOUS TRAIN BANDIT That some of the papers of Colorado which are endeavoring to establish the claim that William Carlisle the bandit is William Carlisle son of Joe Carlisle a Loveland shoe- maker and for several years a res! dent of Loveland are laying themselves wide open for a series of fancy damage suits should the Loveland William Carlisle choose to avenge himself for defamation of bis charae- near being that of Bill Carlisle of Loveland as it does of being that of Francisco Villa Bill Carlisle Mr Brownlee points out had a uite round head with ears which lay noticeably close te his head The bandit has ears which stand out very prominently Bill Carlisle says Mr Brownlee did not have prominent teeth and his smile was even and did not sag to the right corner of his mouth as does that of the bandit Moreover thru-out his youth and young-manhood Bill Carlisle was uncomfortably fat- Of course he might have lost his extra fesh in ten years but he coul lose a lot of it before he would balance the scales with the gentleman recently captured in Wyoming Mr Brownlee admits that he may be wrong but as yet he is firmly convinced that the man whose photos were printed in Denver papers as be-iing that of the bandit resemble in no manner the Bill Carlisle who was-born in Evans Colo and who lived most cf his fife in Loveland On the other hand other Loveland-ery claim that there is not the slightest doubt that the bandit is the Bill Carlisle who lived ift Loveland because reports state that he has the Initials Cfi tattoed on his right forearm They claim that Carlisle Loveland bore a tattoo mark on the same arm arifi thajt he displayed it on the occasion of a visit to that city about three years They also cite the fact that the Loveland youth was sent to the state reformatory for the theft of shoes from his father's' 8ere as indivative of his disposition to transgress against the law One point where the description of the bandit does not tally with the life of the Lovelander is in his age Wyoming dispatches say that the bandit is about 26 the Loveland Carlisle is at least 33 or 34 as county records in connection with his sentence to the reformatory will show GETS THIRTY DAYS whereby Oliver Chandler of this city has invested approximately $40000 in 320 acres of land situated a short dls-
