THE SAFETY OF RESERVOIRS
Important Leg Station Wanted by LarImcr
County Farmcrs.

Important Leg Station Wanted by LarIncr
County Farmers.
Fort Collins, Colo, ian. IA meet
ing of prominent farmers of the Pou
DIRE valley was held here yesterday
with the purpose of taking an initial
step towards legislation bearing upon
the filling of irrigation reservoirs by
individuals beyond point of safety
to the people and property under them.
The subject was carefully gone over
and it was resolved to employ the ser
vices of an attorney to draft a bill
placing reservoirs under the supervis-
ion of the state engineer. giving that
official power when called upon to per-
sonally examine any reservoir COM
planned of to see If it is not filed with
water beyond the danger point, and
should he find that any had been so
filled he to have the power to raise the
waste gate and lower the water to Il
point of safety. 1t is also proposed, If
possible, to make individual stockhold-
ers in reservoirs responsible as well
as the corporation for damages that
may result from the breaking of reser-
voirs. The bill is now being drafted
and will soon be placed in the hands
of Senator Evans for introduction in
the upper house.

The pleasures Mapped Ont in Boston
for Western Girl.
Not long ago while a young woman
hailing from a Western state was resid-
ing in the East she had a slight attack
of the grip and was much in need of
something to cheer her up. With view
of securing the needed amusement she
wrote accepting the standing invitation
of a Boston girl to come and spend
few days at the hub. When the time
was near for her to leave home she re-
ceived letter from her Boston friend
which ran like this:
Il think | have planned as pleasant
a programme for you. my dear, as
would be possible. You viii arrive
Monday morning, that afternoon we
shall have a luncheon Of the Quite Hour
club in your honor, at which so literary
women will be present Monday even
ing we shall attend a lecture by Profess
SCR on The Semitic Races. Tues
day forenoon we are going to a meeting
of the Browning club and in the after
noon we are booked for a musicale in
behalf of the colored old ladies' home.
Tuesday evening we shall wind up the
two days with a lecture by Professor
- on 'Esoteric Buddhism, which |
am sure will be the greatest treat of the
whole two days.
AS soon after the receipt of this let
ter as she could recover strength enough
to hold a pen the Western girl wrote
her friend as follows:
II am afraid my dear girl that YOU
will have to modify your programme.
or else | can't come to You. What lit
tie intellect the grip has left me / don't
propose to wreck in any such manner
as you have arranged for.

who is now our consul general at Ha-

but his name did not appear among the
list of persons who congratulated the
ex-president and Mrs. Cleveland upon
the birth of their son.
The reason was that four years pre-

mature congrat ulations. The demo-
