A Letter from Weatherford.
WEATHERFoRD, March Is.


! will tell you something of Wealth
erford and Parker county. Wealth
erford is a beautiful town of about
5000 inhabitants, situated in very
healthful country. 1t is a town of
schools and churches; it has nine
schools and nine churches and quite
lot of good people, and is pleas
ant town to live in. We moved here
in September, 1900, and placed our
children in school under Prof. ID. :.
Switzer, president of 'Weatherford
College, and we are web pleased
with the work they did last session.
School commenced last September
under the management of Prof.
Switzer and moved along harmon
iously until in December, when
come trouble arose that was not set
tied in a satisfactory manner with
Prof. Switzer, so he and his good
family decided best to withdraw
their connection from the college.
He has been president Of this school
for more than twenty years. He
and his wife and two of their daugh-
tiers are teaching class of girls at
their home called the young
Ladies Home.p The school at the
College continued under the man
agement of Profs. Bishop and Dun
lap giving general satisfaction, but
there Ia trouble In school now that
| | fear will be q drawback. Prof.
Russell, teacher of the business de-
partment, was sick last week and on
Sunday morning he had q well de-
veloped case of smallpox and some
of his pupils are sick. The chances
are good for a general spread of the
disease over the town.
This is a fine country for children
and chickens. There are more
fieshy old people and more plump
| children here than any place know
of. / noticed a very old lady walk
| ing along the street and | asked her
how old she was; she looked at me

BREAK IN CANAL.

Yesterday afternoon a leak of some
proportions was discovered in the EN-
bankment of the Grand valley canal
very close to where the big break oc
cured in the canal i'll 1896. The wa
ter had soaked through the shale, OF
which the embankment is composed
and it had assumed considerable pro.
portions when discovered.
The information was at once
brought to the office of the Ditch
company in this city and at once &
force of workmen was sent to repair
necessary to restrain the water from
breaking through in any larger quan.
tity.
Word was telephoned the headgate
work commenced in earnest. AL
last night teams We're engaged in the
work of repairing the break and this
morning there was reasonable hope
that the break was sufficiently repaired
to permit the water to again flow il
the canal.
Word was phoned the headgate and
the water was turned on at first in q
very small body. The cause of the
break was due to the burrowing of a
muskrat through the sediment which
lines the canal and then through the
shale of which the outside of the en-
bankment is composed.
The break was at a point near the
Yetter ranch.

any desire to disparage the Rocky

reputation, but we simply speak of
the fact of the delightful fruit grown
this year in this valley, as state
ment of fact. Epicures who have
tasted both products, that of the Ar
kansas valley and the Grand valley
product, unhesitatingly state that our
fruit is the superior. Some day,
when the railroads become generous
we may be able to get this fruit into
