That Skating Rink.
EDITOR TRIBUNR:-

EDITOR 1RIBUNE:-
Mr.. Munro of The Sun wishes !
should inform the public who paid
for the supply of water used in max
ing the skating rink in my yard. In
answer to his inquiry I would say
that the water used in flooding nv
back yard, as we'll as the water nsed
in flooding a portion of the west side
school yard. came from dead ends
which had to be opened at least once
week in order to purify the water.
In both cases it was understood be-
tween myself and the teachers of the
schools, that the water so necessarily
wasted should be used in making a
rink for the smaller children of both
schools, and let me say, to the credit
of Prof. Ross, as we'll as the little
ones, that they all assisted in making
these rinks. Has any one IN Morris
ever heard of the editor of the Sun
STOPPING to such degrading manual
labor for the benefit of others?
am not in position to state how
often Mr.. Munro used public water
in violation of the village ordinance,
as it was impossible for me tc earn
my salary by standing guard oyer his
premises, but this [ do say, that
whenever I did make a midnight
raid on him his hose was opened to
its full extent, and persons whom l
have no reason to doubt, have report
ed to me that it was common thing
with him. Taking into consideration
the dryness of last season and the
healthy appearance of Mr.. Munro's
lawn, it is a little suspicious to say
the least.

Ditch Ee.Is latiOn.

Among the measures pending before
the legislature of Importance to the
agricultural interests OF the state Is the
proposed repeal OF the Law passed in
1899. permitting the exchange or loaning
OF water between bitches.
1t appears there is considerable oppo-
s,tion to this law in some districts. It be-
ing claimed that the law has bssn abused
and the leaning Of water not restricted
to the saving OF crops. but that water
has been loaned for number Of weeks
continuously, aud that thereby injury has
bssn worked to rights prior TO that Of the
bitches receiving the loan. Tho repre-
sentative from Bent county introduced n
bill. which is also supported by the rep.
ressntativs OF Prowers county. repeating
this law. Another bill pending in the
senate. introducsd by Senator Clayton
from Greeley, proposes ;" amend tho law
10 N to restrict the exchange OF
loaning OF water. aud euro the existing
abuses. -

thought was that they were all too fast.
for two r,asons: First. tue Rocky Ford

done. and sugar beet growing a sure sue

time enough to build other factories.
The second reason why more factories
were not practical inst now was that the
various localities did not have the pco-
pie to grow the beets. And Mr.. Wiley
saw quite difference between n factory
built by professional promoter. who
knew nothing OF the bces sugar business
and one built by the Oxnaris.
