ATTORNEYS FEES.
John P. Brockway Wants the
Ditch Company to Pay Him
For Services Rendered.


Things might have been more serene
at tho Office of the secretary Of the Grand
Valley Irrigation company, yesterday
afternoon than they were. There was
meeting called for the afternoon and it
was for the purpose, among other things,
OF hearing from John P. Brockway, OF
Denver, in regard to a bill which he
had rendered 10 the company sometime
during last spring. approximating two
thousand dollars, for attorney fees.
Mr.. Brockway arrived in the after
noon late. on the delayed No 8 with all
the assurance for which he 10 noted and
came before the directorate Of the COM
pany and made explanations regarding
his bill, and affected to be really sur
prised that anyone should for tho least
moment imagine that the bill was high
for his valuable services.
The bill for services, as far a. can be
ascertained, runs back almost to the
the time that he sold the ditch to the
Grand Valley Irrigation company. 1t
has never been noted that he did much
work for the company, it being presumed
that Charles F. Caswell had done all
the work Tor the company With occasion
ally some slight assistance from Mr..
Brockway.
While tho matter is being kept very
quiet, it has come to the knowledge of
The Sentinel that the company, for fear
that he might have doIe work which
would entitle him to more than $1,000,
made him an offer Of $500 to settle his
claim against the company. This pal
try sum Mr.. Breckway Immediately and
Indignantly refused to accept and said
he would sue tha company for the full
amount. which is something near $4,000.
The fact OF the matter il. 30 far a. can
be sscsrtsined from the outside, that Is
was supposed that the friendly advice
which Mr.. Brockwsy occasionally gave
came from the desire to Gee the com pany
successful, whose bonds for the purchafs
he had held and for which he doubtless
made the guarantee when selling.
The claimant is quite we'll known in
this city and is jolly little fellow with
a big voice and somewhat flashing eye,
which generally frightens a Jury. he
came into considerable notoriety lately
by an attack made upon the supreme
court, for which it was supposed he
would be disbarred from practice in the
state, but which was smoothed over.
II would seem that 81, 200 was con-
siderable sum for company Of farmers
to pay for legal services whom struggling
to make the ditch = success, something
it was not whom owned by the wealthy
corporation, tho Travellers Insurance
company.
Whether the board Of directors will
give Mr.. Brockway . whirl Tor bis money
is as yet undetermined.

Eairiield's Good Fortune.

The whole State joins in congra tula-
tions to Fairfield upon the occasion of
the dedication of the handsome new
Lawrence library building. This
splendid structure which means SO
much for the social and educational
future of the town, is another evidence
that Fairfield is particularly favored
in the public spirit and generosity of
its leading men. With all due respect
to Carnegie and his many wise bene-
factions, ii is better. we believe. for a
community to possess a library which
is the product Of local pride and
loyalty and of local understanding of
local needs. The dedication exercises,
yesterday. We're in keeping with the
structure and the spirit in which it
was given. Fairfield was highly
favored in having as the dedication
ora tor that eminent scholar and writer.

Mr.. Lawrence live to witness and
share in the blessing he has conferred
upon the town he loves.

4 Change in Porto Rico.

II the much regretted retirement. of
Governor Alien from the head of the
insular government of Porto Rico is
bound to take place. as the Washing
ter correspondents insist. it is a
matter OF congratulation that such a
man as William H. Hunt, the present
secretary of the island, is slated to
succeed him. Governor Allen has been
a model executive and his influence
during the transition period of Porto
Rico's history will always be felt in
the island. The position has been
most difficult one but it has been filed
in "a manner which has put to shame
not ready to cope with colonial prob
lens. Allen in Porto Rico as well as
Wood in Cuba. Dole in Hawaii and
Taft in the Philippines have well re-
futed this argument of the pessimistic
''antis," and have splendidly vindi-
Gated the policy of the administration.
The best men for these high positions
have been selected. and the enemies
of the President have been able 10 find
no flaw in these men or their work. If
Mr. Hunt is to follow Governor Allen
the high standard will be maintained.
AS secretary he has been at San Juan
since the first and well understands
the conditions and the requirements of
the situation. Mr.. Hunt is native
of Louisiana, was educated at Yale
and as attorney general of Montana
and a leader of the movement which
made it a state is known as an able
lawyer of the Northwest. If he is ad-
vanced to the gOvernorship of Porto
Rico it will be a well deserved promo
tiCn. And doubtless there are high
honors awaiting Governor Allen when
H. leaves his insular post.

As the Ming Passed.

As the King passed by thro' the narrow
street,
And a thousand menials in his train,
. Ready TO catch the downcast rein.
Or lie in the dust at his princely feet,
A peasant sat in his lowly door.
And the sunshine lay on his cottage
floor
As the king passed by.
And to himself the peasant said,
AS ne caught the sheen of cloth of gold.
And saw the menials. young and old
Attend tach turn of the royal head:
How enviable d man is he
\ life of ease and minstrelSy.
AS the king passed by.
As the king passed by his eye beheld
The peasant sitting by his door,
With the warm sunlight upon his floor.
And his weary heart with envy swelled
And he sighed: What were it worth to
be
Like Wonder peasant, trammel free.
AS the king passed by.
