The census EN-. merat,on In Prov
ers county was compfets~ on time
and without n kick from any souree.
The work has been done in a thor,
ough manner and there was no room
left for complaint. An unofficial esti.
mate of the population places it above
the 1900 mark. but we do not know
how reliable this estimate is. What.
ever the figures are, however, they
represent the exact population as no
one has been taken but bona tide res
idents and there have been no com
plants by parties of having been
missed. 1t Is safe to say that super,
visor FELTON, might have searched the
county over without finding two
more faithful and efficient enumera-
tors than J. ID. Turner and G. w.
Denton.

While the poor deluded people
who live in the east are swelterIng
in the heat, and hundreds are killed
or prostrated by sunstroke every day,
the people of this valley arc living
on light air and sage brush and en-
joying themselves as only contented
people eau. 1t is true that it becomes
rather warm sometimes but the
pleasant breeze blowing continually
from the South makes such thing
as prostration utterly impossible.

The hill admitting Idaho as a
State will soon become law and
she will come in as No. 43. AT one
time she had vile habit of giving
Democratic majorilies and people
had begun to think that her citizehs
were not equal to the task of gov
erning themselves, but of late they
have discarded all evidence of dis
loyalty and her Republican maiori-
ties have become SO large and pro-
nounced that our law makers will
accept this evidence of improve.
ment as perpetual aud confer the
larger privileges upon her.

Correspondence.
July srd, 1890.

July oEus Aooos
Ed. REGIsrER:-A correspondent
from Pleasant Valley, signing him
self M. g." has aroused in at least
one farmer feeling of contempt,
and desire to have few words to
say in regardstp the lamentable fail
ure of crops under the Henry ditch.
Now let US look at the case as it really
ia; IN. c." is evidently no farmer
else he would not have had to leave
home to find out the cause of the
complaint against the canal company.
He knows, if he knows anything, that
through June there was but very
little water in the ditch, it would not
average fifty per cent to say nothing
of the days when there was none at ALL
Now the drift Of his remarks is in
tended to throw the blanc on tho
farmers, thereby adding insult to
injury. Does he think that the
farmers went to all the expense both
of money and labor just for the fun
of the thing. And then to have the
gall to say we "bit off more than we
could masticate."
Was it lack of hands that caused
the canal company to take water from
their crops and turn it over to renters
and water right owners? Just put
that in your pine and smoke 1t m. c."
Perhaps you know of some method
whereby we can water crops when
the ditch is dry; if SO you will make
more friends by iinparting the
know lede to others than by trying to
throw blame where 1t does not belong.
Now Mr.. Editor facts are stubborn
things, but the failure to produce q
heavy crop this year is due to want
of water and not hands; IN. c." to
the contrary Notwithstanding, and
these facts can all be verified by the
farmers in this neck of the woods,
and, whoever he Is, he has made a sad
mistake in trying to deceive the pub
lie, tor be assured the farmers will
be heard, and this is only the low
and distant muttering of the storm
which is gathering and will eventu-
ally break with fury the like of
which has never been known unlesss
some satisfactory settlement is made.
And now in conclusion let me say
that it is no desire of nine to dis
courage anyone or to create any
anlmosity between the canal company
and the farmers, l love truth and
honesty, aud only desire the public
to know the true state of affairs, that
the blame does not rest on the far
mers, and it Is a stab in the back for
any one protesting to be farmer to
try to make 1t appear SO. l shall not
try to hide behind any initials or
nom-de- plume, for am farmer, for
farmers rights, and farming shall yet
Swhlle be the occupation of
Yoors Respectfully,

question IN Louisiana the old State
Lottery company won, rs the charter
was granted with the provision that
the decision be left to Democratic

will not for a moment be in doubt.
The existence of the Democratic

The Wall Street organ.

The New York city organs of
Wall Street are just now giving
a good deal of their space to abuse
of Senators Teller and Wolcott be-
cause they succeeded in passing the
free coinage bill when the odds were
largely against them in the start.
All of this abuse is Immediately re-
published by the Denver Republican
which thus establishes itself as the
Wall Street organ for this State. A
paper that will betray one the leading
industries of its own State in order
to vent its spite against our repre-
sentatives at the National Capital
is deserving of the severest censure
from all honest citizens. Certainly
if there was any one in the State,
who believed that that paper was ac-
tuated by honest motives in the vile
attacks it has made against public
officials of all grades, the events of
the past week will drive that delusion
from hi. mind. 1t was the only pa
per in the State that was too partisan
to praise our Senators. The attack
will fail of its objeet and will react
upon the paper, for the citizens of
Colorado are delighted and proud to
