The repair OF the permanent dam at
the head of the Highline canal was
stopped Tuesday by an injunction out
OF Judge Elwell's division of the district
court of Pueblo county, on the npphca-
ton of the owner of the land opposite
the headgate, the allegation being made
that the dam caused tho water in the
river to raise and rendered some ground
too wet for cultivation. 1t is unfortun-
ate that work of SO much importance to
go many people should be delayed. The
management do not anticipate any trou-
BILE, however, in knocking out the injunc-
tion as soon as it can be got to hearing,
as consent was secured for the construc-
tion of the dam last year from the owner
of the land.

What Drove Him to Enlist.

An American artist with whose name
all lovers Of good pictures are familiar
was narrating some of his war expe-
riences at his club a few evenings ago.
He served during the last three years of
the war and fairly won the distinction
of being a brave soldier. IL am not
disposed to boast of the motive that
prompted me to enlist" said he to
group Of deeply interested friends, but
| will tell You what it was. Soon after
the war broke ont | was induced by a
persistent and smooth tonguei book
agent to subscribe for an expensive
illustrated publication. 1t was to be de-
livered in parts, one part each month,
and payment Of two dollars was to be
made at each delivery. Well after
awhile got tired Of the thing and found
the payments irksome. But could not
shake off the book agent. He became a
nightmare to me, and finally TO escape
him enlisted. OF course | had some
inclination to go to the front anyhow,
but the book agent was the direct cause
of my enlisting.
IAN exciting three years of service
followed. but the end came and | was
mustered cut with thousands of others.
l turned my face to the west, thinking
that the best place to get start in bust
ness. | went to Chicago, and. having
engaged rooms in a lodging house,
started out on prospecting tour. The
first man to recognize me in that town
was that irrepressible book agent. He
cheerfully informed me that he had
saved all Of me parts of the illustrated
work for me and he would bring them
to my lodgings the next day. But he
did not for gave him bogus addres:
and left for New York that same
night. New York Times.
