Jesse james gang has been unearthed
near here, in the opinion of local ON
GERS, by the arrest Of three mysterious
ranchmen, known as kraig. Turvinger
and Townsend. Such Is the opinion of
Detective w. II. Reno Of the Colorado
4 Southern railway, and Marshal E.
n. Basher Of Longmont.
The men were arrested yesterday on
the charge of robbing the railroad
ticket and postoffice at Gilbert, and In
cidentally the unsolved burglaries at
the Loveland ticket Office and Golden
postof11ce are laid to them.
The three men had purchased a
forty acre ranch about eight miles east
Of here, between this town and Platte
Vile, where they erected house and
barn, the latter being always occupied
by well kept saddle horses. Numerous
excursions by the mysterious tenants
have been noted. and on several occas-
ions they are said to have absented
themselves for several days Mt n time.
Strangers were frequent visitors, and
the officers are now looking for another
companion ny tne name OF CuiiuIHR

have been implicated in the recent rob

To be the minister in one Of New

the minister's wife always receives all

churches and wealthy congregations re-
ceive a substantial recompense for OIL

VAST IRRIGATION PROJECTS
Plans For Reclnlming Lands In the

Plans have just been completed for

parry OF southern Arizona and Califor-
mia capitalists has filed a claim upon
10000 acres OF desert government
land I'm northern Yuma county on the
Colorado river. and with 10000 acres
purchased from the Blythe estate they
intend TO turn the vast tract into farm
land and put II under cultivation by
turning upon II the waters OF the Col
orado. II is understood that S2J0.0OO
will be paid for the Blythe land and
that 81 100000 will be spent on stor-
age dam and canal system. Los Ange-
les. Yuma and San Diego capital Is In
tercsted in the project. There is prof.
ect also on foot which involves the
pumping OF water Tor very large area
Of land east OF Phenix. \ company
which controls the canals that supply
the eastern end OF the Salt river valley
with water Is placing a big electrical
plant at the head waters OF the canals,
where there Is a fall OF over 20 feet.
Here they intend to develop power to
raise water enough from half n hun
dred wells to irrigate several thousand
acres. as much land again as they can
now supply from their canals.
1t Is n well known fact that under
most Of the desert lands in Arizona,
where on the surface water Is rarely
seen. there Is an apparently inexhausti-
bic underground flow. The extremely
high price OF fuel. however, has hereto
fore been bar to pumping water 10
the surface. and the introduction OF
electricity provides the promise OF the
reclamation Of many miles OF desert
where canals cannot reach.

NEW STYLES IN COLLARS.
Low Fold variety and Wings Again
Coming Into Favor.

Coming Into Favor.
IL would not be mlsquotlng those
who may be accepted rs authorities on
the subject to state that collar styles
show an inclination to most decided
change. says The Habcrdasher. For
some years the fold collar has rclgned
supreme; every other style was mere
second proposition. Just as the manu-
facturers have learned how to make
fold collars fashion rudely orders them
to go Mt something else. The new mode
favors low fold collars and wings. or
course the wing collars were not de
signed to take the place of fold collars,
az one was distinctly winter style
and the other just rs distinctly n sum
mer style. The wide fold collar has
been practically abandoned 10y the fine
trade. aud now 2is inches Is considered
the limit except In the cheaper grades.
The low fold collars are both sensible
aud slightly. They vary In width from
one inch up 10 two inches the l9s ana
1N being very popular. Square cor
ners have the call In the lower collars
and round corners In the higher styles.
A style that is now being sold ex-
tensively I'm some of the best retail
shops. but which has not yet appeared
I'm any of the brand lines. Is the fold
collar that shows about half Of the
width Of the cravat band. Ii is pos
slble that this collar will shortly be In
troduced In the leading brands. 1t IL
n good style. both for summer and win
ter. as a large or small crayat may
be worn with IT,
Nearly every house in Troy is prepar-
Ing wing collars for fall trade. These
will be solid collars. rs the inserted
wing was discarded as being inferior
to the solid wing years ago. The new
collar will show wings OF moderate
proportions. Poke collars will also be
given prominence I'm the new lines.
The idea OF marking collars with the
height as well as size has been taken
up and will be made a feature I'm one
or two OF the most prominent brands
We think that this will bc n great help
TO the consumer as well ms the retailer
II will at least do away with the ncces-
sity FOR so many names.
