The question, rs vulgarity of speech
sufficient cause for prohibiting a neigh
boris children from playing with ones
own?" was discussed at length. 1t was
concluded that impure language should
by sufficient cause, but that ungrammat-
cal expressions and moderate slang in
a child, though to be discouraged alto
gether, was not an offense great enough
to warrant ones depriving her children
of its companionship.
The subjects to be considered yet this
year are:
lula

III" Soiiiuuhity. NeluheP has 1t re-
quired astute reasoning powers TO de-
termine that the Big Laramie plains
reservoir was the one thing essential
to progress for the Wheatland colony
that its construction meant unfetter-
ed progress, that its non-construction
was twin-born with narrow possbbili-
ties. From this point of view we have
considered that the construction of the
reservoir was an ultimate necessity
that what business reasoning dictated
should be done would be done-and for
these reasons the World has from time
to time given encouraging statements
as to its probable construction.
However, not until the present issue
have We felt justified in announcing
positively that the prospective enter
prise is to be carried to a successful is
sue-that the largest storage reservoir
in the entire Rocky mountain region
will be built as speedily as money and
skill can accomplish the work, and that
when completed the water supply it af-
fords will become a permanent part of
the Wheatland irrigation system. AS
is probably known to most of our read
ers, a meeting of the stockholders of
the Development company was held a
short time since in New York for the
purpose of considering the reservoir
proposition. At this meeting the whole
subject was gone owe thoroughly, and
the decision reached was positively in
favor of its construction. Since that
time the necessary funds have been
subscribed, and all that is required for
work to commence is the advent of
spring, it being impossible to make any
progress with the work in the winter
season. The construction work, specifi-
cations of which have been previously
published, will probably be done under
the supervision of Mr.. J. A. Johnston,
the engineer, and will be conducted in
such a manne as to give the Wheat
land land owners the greatest possible
opportunities to have employment on
the work.
Another highly satisfactory piece of
information is the announcement that
the contemplated project of converting
Rock lake into a reservoir is to be car
ried out this year. In fact, Mr.. NJ. R.
Johnston, the resident superintendent
of the Development company, has al
ready received instructions to COM
mence this work, and is now busy ar
ranging the details for this purpose.
The proposition involves the construc-
ton Of a dam about 200 feet in length,
with an average height of twenty feet.
An outlet will be built on similar plans
to those followed in building the out
let to No. l reservoir, which was built
two years ago. The Rock lake reser-
voir, when the dam is built and the
acres and there can be drawn from this
area twenty feet of water. This reser-
voir will be of great assistance in wat
ering the lands under it, and as it "a
be arranged for use and filled this
spring it will doubtless prove Of much
benefit during the ensuing
