he stands IA pretty good chance to

SURVEY FOR CITY
WATER APPROPRIATION,
The Preliminary Steps Taken to Secure
Water Right for the city of sarato-
ga-Hugus Ditch to be Enlarged for
Irrigation.

Last week the mayor aud city
council instructed Civil Engineer
j. c. Kennedy to make a survey
looking to the appropriation of
water for the use of this city. A
survey was II along the bed of
the slough, which ONE out Of
the river about two miles above
town and runs back into tine river
just below the hot springs on the
west side, down to the Hugus
ditch. The object of this survey
is to turn a larger body of water
into this slough, enlarge the HUI
gus ditch and use the water thus
secured for the irrigation of lawns
and trees for the city.
Mr.. Kennedy then made a sur
vey for "A reservoir site, running a
line from the main channel of the
river from a deep hole about a
quarter of II mile above the hot
springs, nearly straight west to a
place on the hill about half a mile
south of town. The reservoir will
V an area of 300 feet square
and will hold something like 49,
100000 gallons of water. The To-
cation is a very good one and will
give a pressure of from so to So
pounds to the inch above friction.
The average amount of water
for all purposes for each person is
100 gallons per day. At this rate
the capacity of the reservoir will
furnish water for a city of nearly
100000 inhabitants.

Wedding Bells.

Maj ried: In the St. Barnabas
church, at 9 a. m, this morning.
The Rev. VIM. Toole, of Dixon,
Wyoming and Miss Roberta the
fourth daughter of Rev. DR.. Hunt
ington.
The ceremony Was performed
by the father of the bride in the
presence of the relatives only, and
the Sacrament of the Holy Com
munion was administered to all
present Immediately after the ser
vices. AS the notes of the grand
cid Mendelsohn Wedding March
sounded from the organ, played
by Miss Carolyn Huntington, the
bridal procession came up the
aisle, lead by Mrs. Alfred Heath,
as Matron of Honor, gowned in
pale green challie, and was follow
ed by the two bridesmaids, Misses
Gertrude and Eleanor Huntington.
Miss Gertrude wore white Swiss
owe heliotrope and Miss Eleanor
white, with violet ribbons, and
last, on the arm of Mr.. b. Buch-
anan, who gave her away, the fair
bride, and at the altar she was
met by the groom, Rev. Mr.. Toole
and his best man, Mr.. Albert
Huntington. Miss Carolyn Hunt
ington was gowned in pale yellow.
The bride was robed in white
dotted null, trimmed in lace and
ribbon and very sweet did she
look in her bridal robe. She also
wore "A shower boquet of white
and pink sweet peas, composed of
eighteen small boquets, tied with
the Jolly Club" colors of which
she is a member. After the we'd
ding the boquet was sent to Miss
Margaret Andrews, to be divided
amongst the Jolly Club girls.
She carried "a lovely white leather
prayer book presented her by her
father.
The groom, Rev Mr.. Toole, is
well and favorably known to most
of our people, having visited our
city several times. He is an earn
est Christian and is meeting with
great cce in his ministerial
work.
The bride has lived here since
childhood and has been the pri-
mary teacher in the public schools
for the past six years, and is great
beloved by the little children of
Saratoga, and many friends.

came in contact with him while
he was in the discharge of his du-
ties here speak in the highest
terms of the Major and he settled
everything in the most amicable
manner before taking his depart
ure.
Major O'Brien, while acting as
auctioneer at the sale of town lots
in Oklahoma, though having to
deal with many thousands of peo-
pie, gave entire satisfaction to
every one present. When the
vast sale was over AMI nearly
S450,00O had been turned into
Uncle Sans treasury as proceeds
of that auction sale of lots, there
was not a man in all the thous-
ands who crowded around the auc-
tioneer's stand that was willing to
say that he had been treated un-
fairly by the Major. Too much
credit cannot be given Major
O'Brien for that piece of work
and it is of the same character as
the work he deals out wherever he
goes. May he live long and
prosper"

A FINE HERD OF
REGISTERED HEREFORDS,
Capt. L. G. Davis the Proprietor CT a
Very Fine Bunch Of "whitefaeed"
Cattle A Valuable Ranch and One That
is Well Cared for.

Almost every Western man is a
lover of fine bred stock, no matter
whether it be horses, cattle or
sheep, for thoroughbred stock of
any description is sure of attract
ing attention. The writer had the
pleasure of a ride over the large
and well kept ranch of Capt. l.. G..
Davis the past week and an oppor-
tunity of inspecting the broad
acres of grain, alfalfa, red top and
timothy, as we'll as a number of
well bred horses. But ky far the
most attractive thing on the ranch
was a herd of a hundred head of
registered Hereford cows and heif-
ers, at the head of which was one
of the finest Hereford bulls ever
brought into the valley.
Mr.. Davis. it will be remember
ed, is a member OF the Western
Breeders Association of Denver
and enjoys exceptional advantages
in The way of the selection of fine
thoroughbred stock. The herd
we inspected represented close to
$50, 900. The cows are cheap at
$500 and the calves. many of
which were dropped in March, are
worth 500 apiece. Some of the
cows are the finest ever brought
to the valley and would bring from
500 to $500.
The markings of this herd is
very fine and, as they 10Y off
across the field they appear as
regular in coloring as a company
of uniformed soldiers. They are
kept in the very best of flesh dur
ing the entire year and a poor
COW, or animal of any kind is not
known In the herd.
Mr.. Davis has established the
finest Hereford farm anywhere in
the country and certainly the fin
est one in the valley and has al
ready disposed of a number of
young bulls from his bunch.
When it is known that bull calves
Of this breed of cattle readily

will be seen that there is money in
the business. The establishment
of this farm in our midst gives
our stockmen and ideal opportu-
nifty to breed up their cattle and
thus get the benefit that is to be
derived from farming blooded
stock.
The Davis ranch comprises be-
tween 1000 and 100 acres of land.
all under ditch. A portion of it
lies along the river and the groves
of cottonwoods and dense willows
furnish abundance of shade in the
summer As well as shelter in the
winter. 1t cuts something like
100 tons of hay and the writer
learned, Incidentally, that the
ranch sold last season, in the way
of hay and pasture, close to $1,000.
We were impressed with several
things while enjoying the ride
over the ranch, one of which was:
that it IL cost no more TO feed II
thoroughbred COW than a scrub,
and the vast difference between
$50 and $500 represents the diff
ference between breeding good
cattle and poor cattle. This be.
