A Mil,ionaire's Lavishness.

Thomas f. Walsh. the multimillion-
aire and former owner OF the bonanza
Camp Bird gold mine at Ouray and
former president of the National lrri-
CATION association, spent money with
a lavish hand during the three days
session of the irrigation congress at
Colorado Springs. Mr.. Walsh not only
spent money like water for the enter
tainment and happiness OF his friends
and the delegates, but felt much ag-
erieved to think that he could not part
with more of his gold. His hotel bill
was $1,000, TO which was added an
itemized account of $4,000 for "eX-

chief of staff, as one OF the most un-

army was a signal station on M0nlauk
Point. Here was stationed horse

duty was not fully comprehended by
the gallant artillerymen. According

other big ships of the fleet sailed W
