The Water Question.

Stockholders of the ditch company,
Henry and Kruger of Denver, and
freight agent McAtee of Durango, ar
rived in Cortez Wednesday for the pur-
pose of perfecting some substantial con-
tract for supplying water to the valley
in the future. Mr.. Henry's proposition
is to build storage reservoirs sufficiently
large to supply one cubic foot of water
per second to each and every so acres of
arabic land in the valley, at an annual
cost of one dollar per acre (present price
being $3.50, each acre listed to be
granted a perpetual water right, instead
of from year to year as now established.
This right to any ranch being forfeited
only by three successive years of nom
payment, as against the present one
year.
In payment of this the land holders
are asked to give bonds, to be accepted
by the ditch company, to the amount
of $3.50 per acre OF tillable land. Said
bonds to be taken at 80 per cent. of the
face value, to bear per cent. interest,
bonds payable in twenty years, and to
be issued as work on storage, ETC., goes
on. This will call for probably $e,0OO,-
600 worth Of bonds. A petition to voice
the sentiment Of the people on the sub
ject isleing circulated

Sunday Closing.

\ movement has been started TO Sc
cure Sunday closing in this city. 1t
has been the custom of many to put off
their trading until Sunday and has eX-
listed so long that some now look upon
it as a necessity. Yet there is no en-
cuse for il. All trading can be done rs
easily on week day as on Sunday and
with the stores closed on that day the
merchants and clerks may have an OPP
portunity to rest. THE STAR sincerely
hopes that the movement will be sue
cessful. The law requires that the
postotfice shall be kept open at least
one hour at the convenience of the pub
lie, but that need not interfere with
Sunday closing. In this matter Do
lores is several years behind the times.
