The duplicity of Gov. Waite in the
cattle-sheep war in the western part OF
the state having been laid bare by the
publication of his offer of a reward OF
$500 for the apprehension and convic-
ton Of the men who killed the sheep in
that region, after their recovery from
the shock caused by this, the Populists
are industriously spreading report to
the effect that Judge McIntire, the Re-
publican nominee for governor, was
nominated in the interest of the sheep
men.
AS badly as the sheep industry has
been knocked out by Democratic ma
tional administration. it would hardly
seem necessary that very few people are
anxious about going into the sheep busi-
ness. But as to Judge McIntire. he is
farmer and cattle grower and lives in
the San Luis valley. He does not own a
sheep upon the face of the earth. 1t
should be conceded by all honest men,
to an honest man of reasonably intelli-
gence, that he would not be an enemy to
the interest of any section of state, in
favor of. or against, any particular class
OF people.
And SO far as the report that Western
Colorado will be filed with sheep next
spring, in case OF the election of Judge
ALL that it is absolutely and unquali-
iiedly false. and is concocted for the sole
purpose of Frightening voters from cast
ing their votes for Judge Mclntire.
Under the law there is nothing to pre-
vent Gov. Waite from offering a reward
for the apprehension of the men who
killed the sheep, nor is there anything
to compel him to do it. But his having
done so. in face of tho attitude he as
sumed last spring at the outbreak of the
sheep and cattle trouble of 1894, is con
elusive evidence of his anxiety to please
both classes of people; or in other words.
to ride both the sheep horse and the
COW horse.
Judge McIntire is gentlemen, well
educated. with well-trained mind, with
a comprehensive knowledge of the inter
ests of the state, and Furthermore, with
well ll-balanced mind. He is in the
prime of life. He is not youth; neither
is he an old man in his dotage. In a
word, he is man with sound mind in
a sound body, possessing every ideal
qualification becoming chief executive
Of a promising state like Colorado.

There are few people that have faith
in the faith cure as curing diseases of

cure in this way, and il has worked like

three and four clerks cannot wait on

MIX. EDiICk.-
We herewith submit our findings in
reference to the practicability of con-
ducting the waters OF the Gunnison riv-
er to the Uncompahgre valley for irri-
CATION and other purposes.
After considering every route and
means of conveying the waters of said
stream to the valley, we have concluded
that the most available route will be by
means of a tunnel four and onehalf
miles long drawn through the hill, conf
mercing at point near the mouth of
Pool gulch, on tho river side, to a point
on Cedar Creek. in the vicinity of Cedar
Creek station on the d. & r. G. r. Il.
The estimated cost Of constructing said
tunnel and dam in river will lie five hun
dred thousand dollars, said tunnel TO be
twelve feet wide and eight feet high.
The volume of water in the river at
this time is about one thousand cubic
feet ror second of time, all of which is
available. and is ample to irr'igate eighty
thousand acres. There is in tie valley
laying in Tie counties of Montrose and
DELTA over sixty thousand acres of va
cant land susceptible TO irrigation. be
sides over twenty thousand acres tbat are
owned, but without sufficient water to
irrigatc the same.

him to the Delta House. A reception
was given him at the hotel in the eve
ming, where all present were introduced
to our next governor. A light luncheon
was served in the dining room OF the

q few remarks, which were well received
by the large number present.
1t is needless to say he made a host OF
