sured just III proportion as he abstains
from wines. An Indulgence 10 intox-
icants Of any sort has never helped a
man to any social position worth the
having; on the contrary, 1t has kept
many from attaining a position u
which by birth and good breeding ana
all other qualifications they we're en-.
titled. No young men will ever find
that the principle Of abstinence from
liquor is u barrier to any success, ST.

THE GoTTUNBEnG SYSTEM.
Mr.. Mason, In his article advocat'
ing the adoption Of the Gotheheurg
system Ut dealing with the liquul
traffic, proposes doing several philan'
throplc things like establishing free
reading rooms, courses Of Temperance
lectures, etc. All of these things Cat
now be done by good men, without
making them accessories to death
traps. 1t is not necessary for men t,
90 into partnership with the evil one.

eff there must he saloons" is the
speciOus foundation ON which these
advocates Of "wrong methods" build.
There cannot be, In the very nature
of things, any position that good men
can justify in dealing with evils, OK.
cept that "if there must pc such OF
such an evil 1t shall be without my
support In spite Of my active, aggres.
sive, constant warfare" 1t should
not be, IF there must be saloons, lei

but rather, "If there must be saloons,
let US make then, outlaws like alI
other enemies Of individual and social
safety, until We can wholly destro,
them; let US ask no good men to be
their ahett0rs or backers." ~.
Under whatever guise rum is sold,
1t will ever remain true, that "At the
last 1t biteth like u serpent and
stingeth like an adder; and When the
"wise man" said. "Who hath sorrow.
who hath woe, who hath cJntentiuns.
who hath wounds without cause:
They that tarry long ut the wine; they
that 60 to seek mixed wine,". he made
no reference to the place Of sale OF

spectoble schemes of Christian men.
No matter how successful men may
be in arguing themselves into a belief
that one form liquor selling is right
while others are wrong, the great
Judge Of all the earth has said, with
out u chance for excuse or exception:
"Woe unto him that givcth his neigh

pleasure.
The first querist asks:
SIS not u young man placed dt u dis

I can only speak on this point from
personal experience. I have attended
u great many public dinners, and am
still u pretty constant attendant ut
such affairs. I have never touched IL
drop Of wine upon these occaslons, aud
yet I have never been. made. to feel
that I was placed ut u disadvantage.
Indeed, am under the impression
that u young man who refuses wine il
always ut u distinct advantage. A
strong adherence to any good princi.

Rocky Ford to Have Three
ArteSian Wells.

When last weeks Enterprise
went to press Rocky Ford's second
artesian we'll was at stand-still.
But the hitch in the negotiations
was soon removed and instead of
one other well we are to have two
new ones. The Garden Place
people are going ahead with their
original plans and another well
is to be drilled about one-fourth
of mile east of yell No. 2. The
erection of tho derrick on the
Garden Place site is almost fin
ished and the work Of drilling will
soon begin. Having dug one we'll
hero and now being familiar with
the various formations through
which the drill must pass, Con-
tractor McVay will be enabled to
finish this well much quicker than
he did the first one. Well No. 3
is to be located on the high
ground east of Louis Swink's farm
house. The parties at present in
terested in this we'll are Senator
Swink and his sons, Louis, William
and Lorenzo, and G. A. Jones. If
other parties wish to take stock in
the enterprise they will be ad-
mitted con the ground floor" A
reservoir of ample size will be
built in connection with this well.
1t will be thoroughly bricked and
cemented SO as to be of the most
substantial and cleanly character
and will be used for supplying do
mestic water to the five and ten
acre tracts which will be under the
reservoir. The successful drilling
and operation of these wells can
not but give decided boom to
that portion Of Rocky Ford. An
abundant supply of water such as
is now flowing from the first well
will make the southern suburbs OF
the town especially valuable for
residence purposes.

The Greeley Sun says: Before
the meeting of the American Ag-
ricultural society at Denver this
week, Senator Boyd, of Weld
county, said that statements had
been made in the Denver papers
to the effect that Colorado had had
so much rain that irrigation was
scarcely necessary this year. He
prodaced two stools of oats raised
three feet apart, one of which had
been irrigated and one had not.
The irrigated stool measured four
and one half feet and the unirri-
gated one only a foot and half.
He believed the experiment sta
ton would now gain fame by show
ing the relative amount of ovap-
oration from bare surface as
compared with a plowed surface.
He concluded that half of the
water which wes used in irriga-
ton got back into the streams
through percolation and was used
again.
