MUST CEASE
D|VERT|NG WATER
Order Restraining Colorado
Springs Using Beaver Water.
ABOUT THIRTY RESCUED MUST FLOW THIS WAY

WAter Commissioner David
Houston has received word from
nigh authorities ordering him to
shut off the water being diverted
from Beaver creek to Colorado
Springs and revert it to it's original
channel The order came in the
form of demand aud it may be
necessary to use sheriff power be-
fore the order can be fulfilled.
1t seems that Colorado Springs
purchased few ranches and
heir water rights from the Beaver
creek farmers and took advantage
of the water rights and diverted
more than was their quota, This
has caused the creek to run very
lew and the farmers of that district
have been complaining because of
the shortage. This is proba bly,
the cause of giving the order. Mr..
Houston will at once take up pro-
ceedure to carry out the order and
lit will not be long before it is
effective.
1t is claimed that for some time
Cripple Creek and Victor have
been taking advantage of the head
waters of Beaver creek and an
order will likely be issued restrain
ing those towns from diverting the
water from its original channel.
According to the laws of the state
and government no water can be
diverted from its original channel.
Had this order not been made
at this time suit would likely
have been brought against those
towns because the Farmers Live
Stock Protective association had
been arranging for the same for
some time.

CHANDLER CREEK MINE
RESUMED 0PERAT T|0NS
Commenced Taking Coal out This
morning.
WORK WILL BE STEADY

The Chandler Greek mine was
started up again today, after an
idleness of almost three months
caused by some trouble over the
presence of a few Japanese i'm
ported there by the coal COM
pany. Orders we're received at
the mine yesterday and this morn
ing the Rio Grande railroad
shipped up several empty box
cars.
For the present only the loose
coal in the mine will be cleaned up
and loaded out, and as soon as the
mine is put in shape again, force
of men about as large as that en-
ployed when the works were closed
will be put on,
Davis & Mayes, local agents for
the Victor Fuel company, which
owns the mine, has received notice
from General Manager Huff to the
effect that coal orders can be filled
on or about the 18th of this month.
Since the works have been shut
down the company has had force
of men engaged in repairing and
cleaning out the air shaft and also
fixing the electric wires used in
connection with the electrical min
ing appliances.
Since the close down the men
who were employed there have Sc
cured employment in other pl ,ces,
but it is understood most of them
will go back.

The eruption came from the

forth on May 3. Its destruction
increased day by day until the
entire city was consumed. The
lateness of the news was caused
by wire communication being de-

THAT BILL IS NOW
BEFORE THE HOUSE.
Measure For Americas Very
Important.
IS INTRODUCED IN ASSEMBLY.
And Chances Are That it VIII Pass
1t Seeks to Change Present Method
of Selecting Board Police Commits
sioners of Americus.

A local bill of much interest to citi
zens of Americas has just been intro
duced in the House by Representative
Hixon of Sumter and the chsnc es are
that it will pass and become law,
though Representative Lane will OPP
pose its passage as before.
The measure seeks to change the
method of electing members of the Po-
lice Commission of Americus, now a
self perpetuating body.
The same bill was introduced at the
heel of the last session by Representa-
tive JOINER of Sumter, and was favora-
bly, considered by many members but,
largely owing to the lateness of the
time of its Introduction, Mr.. Joiner
failed to get it through.
But better success is hoped for at
this session.
In fact, Representative Hixon is fully
of the opinion that his measure, very
excellent one, will go through at this
session.
At present tire police board here has
absolute control of the police force,
while the city council has nothing to
do with the employment of the men
and are not permitted to give them an
order or in apywise direct members of
the force in the discharge of their DUTY.
This condition not infre quently
brings about great deal of friction be-
tween the two bodies.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Hixon seeks to make members of
the police board elective by the people
of Americas, as are all other officials
ana employees, with the mayor OF the
city, whoever he may be, as an ex-offi-
clio member of the commission.
Under the present method the mem
bers elect their their successors, max
ing the board self perpetuatIng Some
of them have been on the board for
long period of years. Many citizens
hope the bill will pass, and the measure
will be watched with much interest.
What objection can there be to a
measure which places this important
question before the people.
