The proposed reservoir has storage
capacity Of two hundred and ten million
cubic feet Of water, and, if built, will
forever settle the matter of water for
lower Surface creek mesa. The mesa
already owns seventy-six million cubic
feet Of the water of the Surface Creek
Ditch 4 Reservoir Co. Out of this
amount of water about fifty-six million
cubic feet can be realized on account OF
loss by evaporation in the long lines OF
bitches through which the water has to
come. Twelve hundred acres OF land is
irrigated with this amount OF water
about fourth OF the land that can be
irrigated. The proposed new reservoir
will have a great advantage over the old
Surface Creek Ditch & Reservoir system,
inasmuch as the water will all be in one
body and SO conveniently located that
upon two hours notice any stockholder
can have his water at his door in such
quantity and for such length OF time as
he desires without consulting anyone
but the watchnan at the reservoir. 1t
three thousand acres OF the finest and
most desirable fruit land on the Western
Slope, with enough water to cover every
foot OF it 1S inches deep.
II the committee on ways and means
report favorably meeting OF all the land
owners on lower Surface creek mesa will
be called and the matter presented to
them for their consideration.
Residents on upper Surface creek
mesa, business men of Delta and in fact
this entire end of the county should take
an interest in pushing this enterprise to
success.
The seventy six million cubic feet OF
water now being used on lower Surface
creek mesa can be transferred and used
upon the hundreds Of acres OF land on
upper Surface in the vicinity Of Cedar
edge, thus trebling the population of the
entire community.

The Amelia j., an extension OF the Iron
Cap. has developed into producer and
is now shipping out regular product,
the first car going out Monday OF this
week. The property is owned and worked
by c. A. Jensen, and the ore body opened
up is the continuation of the Corbett
vein and runs little better in gold
values than does the Corbctt product.
But little work has been done on this
property, operations having been con-
fined mostly to the Iron Cap drift. but
the fiattering beginning made BY IL
leads to the belief that it will equal tho
Corbctt and Lizzie G. as big producer.

being the concert by Thearle's Nashville
students. The program was well re-
ceived from the start and several num-
bers were twice encored. In chorus

The promoters Of the Basin Reservoir
situated on Surface creek held a meeting
at Eckert yesterday. Facts and figures
were presented which showed that nearly
five hundred acres OF land now lying idle
in the lower end Of Alfalfa Basin could
he converted into an immense storage
reservoir st an expenditure Of about
fourteen thousand dollars. The under
taking was considered both possible and
practicable by all those present and
Necessary for the future prosperity Of
land owners on Surface creek. A ways
and means committee were chosen who
will report their proceedings in few
days.

When the Fifty sixth congress comes
in on March 4, 1899, it is practically con.
ceded that the house is likely to show q
silver majority, at least an anti-adminis.
tration majority. The senate will be
close and its status is forecast as follows
by an eastern paper, based on the vote
on the Nelson amendment TO the Teller.
Matthews resolution:
The gold men have thirty hold-over
senators and two already elected to the
Fifty-sixth congress. making thirty-two
Nine states are regarded as certain to
necticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi.
gan. Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. This
gives the gold men forty one votes.
The silver men have twenty nine hold
over senators, which number will proba-
bly, be increased by election in the follow.
ing ten states: Florida, Mississippi
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada
Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia,
making total silver vote Of thirty nine
The states placed in the doubtful lis,
are California. Delaware, Indiana, North
Dakota, New York, New Jersey, Wash
ington, West Virginia, Wyoming and
Oregon-a total OF ten.
At least three OF these states the News
does not regard as doubtful. Indiana
North Dakota and Wyoming are practi.
cally certain to elect silver senators
This would make the totals stand--silver
fortytwo, gold forty -one, doubtful seven
Regarding these figures us substantial
ly correct, it may as well be admitted that
the next senate will be uncomfortably
close on the silver issue. Still. with The
trend OF popular sentiment in favor OF
silver. and the effect which complete
change in the majority in the lower
house will have on senators and the
choice which will be presented to demo
Gratis to get out Of the party or vote for
silver, it is possible to predict that the
next senate will be held by the silver
men. The situation. however, is not one
that can be regarded with indifference
The gold bugs are already laying plans
to capture a majority Of the senate. The
silver men must beat them.-Denver

BULLETIN NO. 6.

Our article by r. J. Cofsey on the er-
rors in the Catalogue OF Fruits issued
by the U. s. Pomological society and
known as Bulletin No. G, has raised a
storm among fruit men from one end OF
the country to the other, the latest com
inent coming from the California Fruit
Grower, of San Francisco. 1t has re-
ceived letter from I. I. Lyon, of South
Haven, Michigan, who was chairman OF
the committee on revision, in which that
gentleman says 1.-The plan ct the Cata-
logue was conceived upon the idea Of re-
cording only the matured knowledge
and experience OF the best pomologists
OF each locality, and to my apprehension.
its chief value must ever depend upon a
strict adherence to that idea
Mr.. Lyon says that his committee
made requests for Information TO the
pomologists OF various sections and found
no response. Personal appeals by letter
were sent out in which it was told that
1.-The catalogue is to be issued and widely
distributed as bulletin OF the national
department OF agriculture and it is Of the
highest importance that the report for
each state be correct and up to date"
No responses were received and the
chairman, forbidden by the bylaws OF
the society to make use Of his personal
knowledge on the matter, finally sends
the copy in to be printed in an incom-
plete an erroneous condition.
While this shows that part OF the
blame rests with the fruit growers OF
Colorado. it would have been very easy
matter for the committee to have noted
the fact that no Information was obtain
able from here and then no misrepresenta-
tion would have been made. The bulle-
tin purports to be a statement OF facts
and it should nave been truthful in ell
its details. Rather than give such in
complete statistics it should have given
none without qualifying them.
Its publication in its present form has
had the effect Of waking up the Colo.
RADIO people and has probably done more
good than harm go far.

ALDERMAN BARR HONORED.
Thes Beefstcak Climb Presents Him
Wfih q Diamond PIN.

Columbia Hall was the scene of much
merrymaking last evening, when the CO.
lunbia Beefsteak Club of Greenville held
its second dinner of the season. The event
was a successful one, and also very jolly.
Close on to 200 people were present when
the festivities began. The large and spa
cious hall presented a most pleasing APP
pearance, with its numerous tables and
handsome decorations. Alderman Ed
ward Barr was big chief and the way he
kept order was a caution. He mad a few
remark previous to the dinner, in which
he cautioned those present not to gorge
themselves and to take things easy" as
he expressed it.
Armed With an enormous bone, dec-
GRATED with red, white n blue ribbons,
he sat at the head of the table and kept
order. His large white coat and huge
apron were the objects of many funny
remarks. The dinner was an excellent
one, the steak being very tender and
juicy. It is needless to say that an did
Justice to It. While the inner was in
progress several songs were sung by diff
ferent guests. At the conclusion Of the
feast Vice President Louis Duesing, in
a few well-chosen words, presented Alder
man Barr with a handsome iamon pin.
The cheering that greeted the Alderman
as he arose to reply was tremendous. 1t
was too much for Mr.. Barr, for he filled
up and for some minutes was unable to
respond. He finally said
Gentlemen / can assure you hat this
token was unexpected, and l certainly do
appreciate your Kindness. If l AVE done
anything officially that has merited this
] am thankful to you for your apprecia-
ton. Gentlemen, / can say no more"
Once more the hall rang with cheers
for the Alderman. The gathering then
sang the s.Star-Spangled tanner" with a
will.
