THE BIG LARAMIE DITCH.
A Denver Paper Which is DISPOSED TO
Be verv FAIR IN the Matter.

llhS ochNcI IllhtS.l
There is considerable misunderstanding
among the Wyoming people as to the Ell
feet of the Big Laramie river ditch, which
the Colorado company proposes to put in,
upon their water supply Tor irrigating
purposes.
THE CHEYENNE LEADER is inclined to
take a conservative, sensible view OF the
situation and it has gotten very near to
the root of the matter. The Cheyenne
editor states his side OF the case very
frankly as follows:
If the object Of the Colorado people is
simply to secure the Incorporated
water from the Big Laramie we do not
see why they are not entitled to it after
it has been demonstrated by the proper
authorities. But If the purpose is to take
all the water for the first six miles of the
stream ION which depends the permanent
supply ia the stream after it enters Wyo-
ming) and thus render extremely uncer-
tain, If not actually destroy its value to
previous appropriations in Wyoming. then
1t becomes a question for Intervention on
the part ofthe United States court.
This is the plth of the whole matter,
and is very right and proper. State En-
gineer Maxwell has CONT over all the
ground, on the other hand, and is ready
to show that the plan of the Colorado
company involves the diversion of only
the surplus water that runs in the river
channel at certain seasons of the year.
Mr.. Maxwell saws:
| do not see how it will be practicable
to taxi water from the stream and bring
it over the divide without a system of
reservoirs in which to collect it. 1t seems
to me, too, that i. can do no damage to
tho settlers on the Big Laramie, for at
the altitude at which the water is diverted
only the excessive flow can be diverted.
That will be of course at a season of the
year when it will do no harm to those
lower down the stream, as there will be
plenty besides; as | understand it. the
canal will catch the overflow.
If 1t should turn out that damage is
done to Wyoming's agricultural interests
by this canal, Colorado people will be as
much interested in the final settlement of
this case in the courts as the Wyoming
people are. There is no disposition 10
this state to support a private corporation
in any unjust or illegal operations.

MATT pAMsoN,s DOG.
How the Faithful Animal Haunt His
late Masters. Watery Grave.


lLhfdHlle fepuDlcAn.l
Silas Schoonmaker, who has been en-
gagged to watch Hutton's lake during the
winter, came in this morning for supplies
and returned to his lonely vigil this after
noon. He says the lake is entirely frozen
over, and that the ice is transparent only
10 places. he lives in the boat house,
which Is well fortified against the wiutry
blasts that blow interminably III there.
When the ice Is strong enough to bear
a team" said Mr.. Schooumaker today,

scraper, and then the bottom will be visi.
bic from the surface. The water is 30
still and clear now that tho grass at the
bottom can plainly be seen through a
hole IN the ice. The place where the
boat containing Messrs. Scrymser and
Dawson is believed to have capsized
is marked by a pole stuck 10 the bottom
and kept fast BY the ice. | want to tell
you u remarkable thing in connection
with that spot. A favorite dog belong.
ing to the Dawson family STAYS with me
at the lake. Just as soon as the ice sur
rounding the pole became strong enough
to bear his weight the animal went to the
place marked and began scratching and
whining Diteously. He has done that
every morning the past week, and it is
with difficulty l can coax him away. l
usually spend the day hunting, but when
in the vicinity Of the lake, and not con-
fined in the boat house, the dog spends
his time directly over the spot where
theory places the body of his drowned
master"
DO you think the animals instinct
leads him TO the spot?"
Yes, to some extent. 1t may be, how
ever. that oil from the decomposing re-
mains has risen to the surface and is
smelled BY the sharp-scented animal. His
conduct, however. emphasizes the general
opinion that Mr.. Dawson's body is not far
away from hat pole, and a special search
OF that vicinity will doubtless be made In
the very near future"
"How do you spend your time out

Hunting by day and reading and
sleeping at night. Coyotes aud jack
rabbits are numerous, and there is always
plenty of .ood sport"

glad to see him again. And when Car
RE Tracy went into the conservatory
again with Mourdant he did not care to
follow.
A shower had come up shortly after
sunset and an hour after had cleared
away. The moon had risen, making
the raindrops IN the bushes and trees
sparkle like diamonds The lawn
seemed covered with jewels, and drops
of moisture still chung to the window
panes making them CLEAN. The
clouds were moving rapidly about, row
and then shading the NOON. Some of
them were dark, while others were 50
fleecy that it seemed as IL II could
crush them in ones hand. Presently
the clouds blew away and the sky was
one delicate mass of subdued azure, cX-
cept where the moo glowed.
In the music room they were playing
a waltz, only Tonight" Then. in
some unexplainable manner, Mour-
dant's head came very near hers, her
gray-blue eyes intoxicated him, her
full red lips were SO tempting-and he
had kissed her again.
This time Edward Slocomb did not
come and claim 4 dance; this time he
did not lecture anyone; but a half hour
after he shook hands with Mourdant
and heartily congratulated him
"And why don't l make love to a
girl?' he remarked, sagely, to young

gagcment was announced, land get

HE A a HEART.
As Was Manifested by His Kindness to a
Poor Mother,

He was 4 grumpy, choleric old man,
and as he stumped down lower Broad
way the little urchins ran out of his
way for fear he would hit them with
his big, thick cane as he passed. Not
far from the battery his eyes alighted
on a little pale-faccd oma who was
walking towards Kim from an opposite
direction.
There was a baby, or rather 4 girl,
for the little one was easily FIVE years
of age, in her arms, and she staggered
along under her heavy load with a
weary expression on her face.
The dag was hot, and the perspira-
ton streamed off her, while her slight
figure contrasted strangely with the
size of the weight she bore, though the
child, too. looked wan and had a
pinched look about the face that pow
erty and p~rivation alone could not
bring. He noted these facts As he
walked along, and by the time the
woman got up to him he vas in a pas
sion.
what do you mean, madam" he
said. ''by carrying about 4 big girl like
that and killing yourself By it? Let
her walk by herself. Women are far
too sacrificing for their children
The woman halted as though shot,
and staggered to a nearby railing for
support. Then she sat down on a
stoop, while the old man prepared to
continue his TRADE.
She put up her hand b~esecchingly.
Don't" she said. Don't, sir. l
can't stand it. indeed I can't. My poor
little ones a cripple"
The transition from anger to pity in
the old mans face was wonderful to
behold. He passed the back o. his
hand across his eyes and then, in haste,
he bcsousht the woman's pardon.
Four or five little fellows of the street
gazed wonderingly as they saw the
w~ell-dressed man talk for almost a half
hour with the poor woman and her
crippled child. but they did not see the
shining coin he left in the woman's
hand, nor hear the promise of future
help that came before he went away

The LEGEND OF NEW RIVER.
How Water Came in the Desert After a
Chii,'s Frazer.

How water Came IN the Desert Alter n
Chiid's Prayer.
In the early fiftics n party of emil
grants on their way to the gold fields
of California by the southern route, via
the ella river, crossed the Colorado By
the ferry left by Graham in 1913 ''and
struck out on the desert for the land of
promise. The trail was well defined by
abandoned wagons and the bones of
horses, mules and human beings.
Struggling through the yielding sand,
the Thermometer at l2o degrees"
wheels falling apart, animals dying
from heat and thirst, they OF the see
ond night out halted some ten miles
from Cookies Well,' with the water
in their kegs exhausted. Tradition
states that a little ten-ycar old girl was
heard praying. in one of the wagons,
for water. 1t states that in her child
like faith she said: 30 good Heavenly
Father, I know that have been a very
naughty. naughty girl, but, oh! dear, L
am SO very thirsty, and mamma, papa
and the baby all want to drink so much.
Do. good God, give us water, and | will
never, never be naughty again"
The gaunt, half-starvcd, desperate
men gathered around the wagon, dis
cussing how and what movement to
make to save their lives and their dear
ones, with no thought of gold now, and
listened to the humble petition. One
voiced the rest and said: May God
grant it, Soon the voice of the little
child, in cheerful accent, sounded clear
in the silent night: 20 mother. mother,
get me water; oh, l can hear 1t run
ming: oh, DO get some for baby and
me-" They thought her delirious from
her sufferings, when suddenly 4 babel
of sounds broke forth from the oXe
and mules. all frantic and e~ndcavorins
to break loose from the wagon poles.
A rustling noise called their attention
to n slight depression neal the wagons.
and on investigating the caIsc they
found water gushing up out of the sand,
sweet, clear, but warm. Their suffer-
ings were over, and they reached tho
mines better and wiser for this inter
position, as they firmly believed, of Di-
vine Providence.
This spring continued to flow running
due north for twenty miles. then wa
lost in the sand. In places it was over
two miles wide and from four to TWEEN
ty feet deep. When immigration in
1851 moved by the isthmus and the
northern route, the miraculous water
disappeared, as its mission was accom-
plished and its divine work done. Iut
the memory of the New river" that
was caused by a sand bar below Yuma,
will long be remembered by survivors
of the thousands benefited by it IN 1851

A PLANT FOR BAeY's GRAVE.

1t Will blossom through the summer,
'Bove her quiet little heart;
Yes, its lovely bloom and fragrance
Soon will seem Of her q part
There the warm bright sun will kiss II
And the breeze Its leaflets wave;
We will place II there In mem'ry-
lust q plant for bsby's grave.
Eight long years she has been sleer
Meath the dewy, velvet sod,
And her happy, sinless spirit
Is. / know, in Heaven with God.
Back again We would not wish her,
With life's trials but begun;
They who leave Us In the morning
Never see the set Of ~
Just a year she fondly fingered,
One brief year Of hope and love-
Laughing little blue-eyed Laura,
Whom the angels bore above.
On our hearts her face Is pictured
lean see her every day.
With her sunny smiles and god locks
Locks that never will grow gray!
She will ever be our baby
All our boys will soon be men.
Fighting hard In life's great battle
For some vict'ry. one 'gainst ten.
But u baby. She'll be waiting.
Always young. and sweet, and fair,
Ne'er to know old age. or wrinkles
Sorrow, pain, or black despair.
Sometimes still I feel her Nesting.
As Of old. upon my breast;
But I like to think her lying
In her tiny grave-at rest!
Often ave I bent above il.
Low and lower without sigh,
For again l hope TO clasp her
My own baby, By and by.
Soon this flower will softly whisper
All a mothers love could say;
1t will tell her how VIC missed her,
After she had gone away.
Just a green transplanted token,
For each summer rain to lave;
Just a little home remembrance,
Just a plant for baby's grave.
