to submit the following:
Whereas, there are in this Water District
tracts Of mesa aud valley land, composed Of
the most fertile soil, and
Whereas, said lands, if properly furnished
with water for the purpose Of irrigaring the
same would equal any of the agricultural
lands in this state for agricultural and fruit
purposes. and
Whereas, there is II large range Of mount
aims extending along the northern line Of
this district which offer the best Of oppnrtu-
mites and advantages for saving up and re-
servoiring water for irrisating purposes.
And Whereas, the Gunnison river could he
utilized by proper methods to irrirate large
part uf the Uucompahgre valley aud the
thousands Of acres Of mesa Lands lying be-
tween the unoompahgrc valley and the
Black Canon Of the Gunnisnn river.
And, Whereas, the foot hills bordering the
southwestern part Of the district could be
utilized in the construction Of reservoirs to
supply the California and Ash mcsas with
abundance Of water.
Aud. Whereas, the fIrmcrs OF this rrsrryu.
tioH country labor uuicr the Disadvantages
Of having to prc.empt Government land, the

work, aud the department., which responded
promptly to the first alarm, found itself unable
to lay but one line of hose In front of the build

terrifcally if flled with natural gas. The
cold was intense, and the fire burned with such
ferceness that the fremen we're unable to gain

of the fire being accelerated by wooden cornlces
and openings in front and sides of the build

The County Commissioners yesterday recon
sidered their former determination to allow
no bills received from the coroner's Office, an
decided to allow witness fees and bills for post
norton examinations. During the day they
allowed one hundred and fifty witness-fee
claims and nine bills for holding post nortem
examinations. They still refuse to allow any of
the bills of the coroner himself or his former
deputy. DR.. Purman. Their decision to allow
bills is due the result of the snit against

Fra in . Co.l-oll warehouse.

The wareroom addition to F. P. Smith & Co.'S
lamp and coal-oil store, at Nos 80 and 80 North
Illinois street, was partially destroyed by fire
last evening involving loss of $500. The fire
was not discovered until the entire ware-room
was in flames. and the prompt response and
effective work Of the Ere department. prevented
very damaging confederation. In the main
store-room was q large quantity of coal-oil, and
If the fire had communicated TO the building an
explosion would necessarily have occurred. It
happened that no oil stored in the build
ing where the fire broke ont, but about 5000
worth of fine lamps were destroyed. The loss
is fully covered by insurance.
