usual in Colorado, in bodies of this kind

BEND ceunty TOO MeesI.h.

The Las Aninaas Leader has q half col
umn article this week relating to the in
justice being done the farmers in that
county by the Henry ditch management
trying to get water through the canal to
the farmers of Prowers county. 1t seems
never to have occurred to the gentleman
that there were some people on this end
Of the ditch who had also bought and
paid for some water OF that canal, and
had probably as much right to it as any
farmer in Bent county. Reports from
disinterested parties there are to the ef-
feet that water has been running to
waste all the season, and that but little
water has been turned into the headgate
for fear it might break out and endanger
crops in Bent county, the farmers in
Prowers county not cutting any figure
with them This canal was was built ac-
cording to figures OF the engineer to sup
ply a certain amount Of water its entire
length, and it has been pretty well dem
onstrated that if filed to its capacity it
will furnish water enough for all indi-
vidual water right owners at least. The
company have large amount of lands
under it upon which water has been ap-
propriated in both Bent and Prowers
counties. II the ditch will not carry
enough to furnish the amount appropri-
ated, it is time it was known and en-
larged sufficiently to do so. The compa-
ny should furnish water to its individual
owners, who have paid big price for it,
in preference to using it upon its own
lands, until it can be enlarged sufficient
ly to furnish water to all the lands, be-
cause they are much more able to do
who has everything at stake on his sea-
sons crop. The company built the canal
and have represented that it would
supply the water, and have induced peo-
pie to pay big price for it, and mort
gage their lands for that purpose. If it
will not carry the amount represented,
they should enlarge it and not try to ap-
propriate any OF water to the detriment
Of the individual owners of rights until
it is done. II 1t has been demonstrated
that six and one-half feet of water turned
into the headgate will furnish sufficient
then it must be put in shape to carry
that amount. The people at this end OF
the canal are going to have water, and
the farmers in Bent county will be wise
if they take hold and assist them in
procuring it, instead OF playing the dog
in the manger act as they are now doing

quite an honor to be numbered among
the Alumni. The speech OF Hon. J. X.

The music by the Cactus Club as is al

Now, the Europeans employ elephants
in their armies, in the east. The British
soldier elephants in India to-day, how
ever, are not fighters. They are work
ers; they bear the baggage, and drag
the heavy cannon.
Not long ago seventeen raw recruits
were shipped from Ragoon to Madras.
Most of them were newly-captured ami
mails, purchased for the government of
India up in the country of British Bur
NAH.
One by one these huge animals were
hoisted from the wharf in a great sling,
and lowered into the hold of the ship.
The elephants did not like going to sea
in tkat way at all. They struggled
nightly. They roared. They grabbed
at the rigging with their trunks as they
were slung up in mid-air. And then,
down in the hold, they were so furious
that it was more difficult to get them
out of the sling than it had been to get
them in.
If any little Burmese boys knew
what was going on, and If they are like
little American boys, | am sure they
we're there somewhere on the wharf
and am surer still that they shouted
in the excitement well-nigh as loud as
the elephants roared.-C. p. Stuart, in
Little Men and Women.
