Fred. Beaudrv and S. S. Roberts were
elected as delegates to the Reservoir
Convention. to he held in Denver next
Thursday. The committee is a good
one, all parts of the county being rep.

trust they will all attend the conyen-
tlon and make Il strong. vigorous fight
Tor an appropriation for the county.
"A similar convention WIS held in Dem

q great work before them, we hope
they will grasp the situation and do
